He entered the auditoriuiti surrounded by ^>.miii

cheers.
Taylor, who led a rebel invasion again>t the ^'m

with which people entered the uprising accounted
for "some of the pitfalls of the exercise."
"ll is true many things went wrting," Taylor said.

"I do forgive those who have done things lo me
and to this organization." he said, without mention-
ing atrocities in which the NPFL was implicated
They include civilian massacres and the forced
recruitment of child soldiers.
On Saturday, a group of civilians arrived in
Monrovia from Taylor's headquarters in Cibamga
and said they had been beaten up and robbed by
NPFL soldiers along the highway
Taylor said trying to correct wrongdoings now

Calipari signs lO-year contract
$5 million deal keeps basketball coach with Minutemen
By Justin C. Smith
Cdlegion Staff
The NBAs phone may have been ringing, but he
wasn't interested in taking the call — at least noi any
time sixjn.
University of Massachusetts' Basketball coach lohn
Calipari agreed to a 10-year contract rumored to be
worth an estimated $5
million. His base salary
will remain the same
bul the increase in pay
will come in coach Cal's
radio and television
shows which will now
be owned by the
University, said media
relations
Other incentives that
were already part of his
current contract include
profits from any road
game he wishes, speak-
ing engagements and an
incentive for making an
NCAA appearance.
According to media
relations, the deal will
officially be signed at
some point during the
first week of the .semes-
ter.
There was wide spec-
ulation of his departure
for the bright lights of
the NBA bul thai was
put to rest with the
announcement. Several
professional learriS.
including the Boston
Celtics and Miami Heat
had expressed interest
in the coach.
According lo Sept. 2
Boston Gloiyi' article. Calipari would not give any exaci
figures or comments on ihe contrail except to sjty that.
Seven-year Minuteman basketball coach John Calipari
decides to make it ten after signing contract with UMass.
"I am liKiking forward to l>eing al UMass for a long
lime."
In' raising the level of the basketball program ai
UMass he has raised the price of his services to that of
ihe lop coaches of the collegiate ranks.
In his tenure in Amherst, Calipari has taken an
unranked team in 1488, to a club that has been in the
lop 25 Un- ihe past seven semesters, including a num-
ber one ranking thai
held for five weeks last
season.
In his seven seasons
on the bench. UMass'
overall record is
1 58-64. They have only
missed a postseason
once since his arrival,
that being his first year.
In the '40s, only
Kentucky and North
Carolina have more
wins than the
Minutemen.
This past season was
one of pressure for
Calipari. as the prior
two years had been dis-
appointments to ihe
program being elimi-
nated early in the
NCAA tournament
both years In the 1445
edition, he lead his
team further than ever
as UMass marched into
the Elite Eight before
falling to Oklahoma
State.
Calipari has been a
large pan of the com-
munity surrounding as

UM prof testifies in molestation case
fty Amy H. Parodysz
Collegian Staff
The expert testimony of an anthro-
pology professor from the University
of Massachusetts al Amherst won the
acquittal of a Muslim Albanian
American who was wrongly accused
of child molestation.
Dr. Barbaro Kerewsky Halpem. an
adjunct professor, was a key witness
in the Texas court case. When the case
was first tried, it ended in a hung jury.
"I convinced most of the jurors,"
said Halpem.
However, the retrial last year was
more successful. Halpem said.
"There was no abuse." said
Halpem, "but there was alleged abuse
in the eyes of certain observers."
Halpem lived and worked in ethni
cally Albanian villages in ihe southern
part of former Yugoslavia for over 40
years, both as a scholar and a mother
of small children Therefore, she was
not only able lo discuss the case with
the accused. Sadri Krasniqi. in
Serbo-Croatian and Albanian, bul
she also understands the cultural

T'he .'\lf)anian American parents, as
well as Halpem and olhei experts in
the case, were interviewed by Hugh
Downs in a July 18 episode of "20/20 "
In court and on television. Halpem
was able to show ihal Albanians are

for each other. Albanian fathers kiss

Gays get the blame
On lune 15, 9-year-o)d Rachel
Carver was found beaten to death
in Washington state. The same
day, her uncle, |ason
Wickenhagen, was arrested and
taken Into police custody, where
he confessed to the killing. Social
workers later reported that the girl
had been sexually molested for
much of tier life t)y tier fattier, tier
uncle and her mother's boyfriend.
Almost two months later, on
August 9, Spokane, Wash., coro-
ner Dexter Amend held a press
conference to discuss the results
of his formal autopsy. Amend
announced he had found evi-
dence of sexual abuse, including
sodomy, and t>lamed gays for the
killings.
"Sodomy IS a homosexual act.
It Is. To have everybody tfiinking
homosexuality Is OK Is a bunch
of baloney," he said. "All they
think about Is sex and lust all the
time."
A protest campaign has been
launched by the Cay and Lesbian
Alliance Against Defamation, a
media and political watchdog
organization. As a result of the
remarks he made at the press
conference. Amend may tie sub-
ject to disciplinary action and
perhaps even forced to give up
his elected position as coroner.
FOX does It again
In yet another example of
media daring, this fall the FOX
network will be premiering a new
sitcom called "The Crew" that
features an out and, hopefully,
fully furKtional gay character.
The show, which follows the
lives of four airplane flight atten-
dants. Is the creation of produc-
er-writers (and gay couple) Marc
Cfierry and .'amie Whooten.

National news shows professor's story
TESTIFY, continued from page Al
intention" in these actions.
The producer of "20/20." filmed an Albanian
community on Station Island. The footage proves
Halpem's observations of Albanians are accurate.
AJthough Sadri Krasniqi won his freedom, he has
lost his children due to a dual legal procedure which
separates family court and critninal court. While
Halpem was tnisy giving the judge and jury her "mini
course in cultural anthropology and linguistics" that
won the case, Child Protective Services conducted a
"hurry-up adoption" finalized two days before the
acquittal, according tu Halpem.
The fact that the adoptive parents are Bom-Again
Christians brings further anguish to Sadri and
Sabethe Krasniqi, who had tieen raising their
children as faithful Muslims. The Krasniqis
immigrated to the United States in 1971 so
they could have religious freedom, according
to the "20/20" segment.
When Sabethe was granted visitation
rights, she found her son wearing a "jcsus
Saves" t-shirt and her daughter wearing a
Christian cross. She confessed to her mother
that she had been forced to eat pork.
The airetl
The story began six years ago when
eight-year-old Urtim could not participate in
a Tai Kwan Do tournament unless a parent
was present. This requirement conflicted
with the Albanian norm in which the lives of
men are separate from the lives of children,
especially school-age children more than
seven years old.
However. Sadri attended because his
American-bom son begged him to go. even
though Saturday was the busiest day of the
week at the four pizza restaurants the
Krasniqis owned.
"Normally child care is exclusively
women's work [in Albania).* according to
Halpem.
When Sadri's four-year-old daughter.
Lima, begged to go along, he consented. The
father and daughter, surrounded by specta-
tors in jeans and t-shirts. were conspicuous
because of their more formal clothing
Neither Sadri nor Lima understood Tai
Kwan Do. During the long tournament.
Sadri videotaped his son and played a lan-
guage game with his daughter.
When Lima grew restless. Sadri 'placed
her on his knees and tapped her on the buttocks."
according to Halpem. "One woman in the bleach-
ers saw the man patting his daughter on the Kitloin
and misconstrued it as inappropriate behavior."
Plainclothes police arrived and charged Sadri
with child molestation.
The courts
There is no Albanian word for "child abuse."
There is not even such a concept, according to
Halpem. In the "20/20" interview. Sabethe said she
would have killed her husband if she believed the
allegations to be true and that Sadri knows that.
.ATM < fN SMITH (.(XlfClAN
Barbara Halpern helped in Albanian' Muslim win his free-
dom from wrongful charges.
After the conviction. Sadri was advised lo admit
his "crime" in order to receive a lighter sentence.
However. Albanians live by an ancient code of
honor that does not permit lying, flalpem said.
Child Protective Services recommended that
Sabethe divorce her husband and retain custody of
her childreii. According to Halpern. Sabethe
replied. "I am Altianian. We marry for life."
After the first six months. Satx-'the inadvertently
violated a court order by taking the children to visit
their father at one of his restaurants. According to
Halpern. Sabethe believed the restraint was only
valid in the home. Regardless, the Krasniqis lost
custody of their children.
The young social worker judged the
Krasniqi home to be unfit She was appalled
to find Urtim in his underwear (an Albanian
norm), and to see the two children sharing a
t>edroom. She did not realize that visiting rel-
atives were staying in one of their bedrooms,
Halpem said.
Over the next six years, tfic children were
placed in I 3 different care facilities. In the
"20/20" interview. Sabethe told the story of
how her son tried to commit suicide by
jumping out of a second-story windows
because he missed his mother. Urtim was
stopped by his younger sister.
According to Halpem. the Krasniqis were
forced to sell their pizza restaurants to pay
legal expenses. They do not know where their
childa-n are and they have no visitation rights.
The "20/20" segment explained that Dr Paul
Prescoll, the leading Texas authority on child
abuse, was never called to testify in family
court, although he was the first physician lo
examine the children, at tfie reque^t of Child
Protective Services. Prcscott found "nothing
that wuukJ substantiate a claim of child abuse."
According to Halpem. the paa-nls are pray-
ing national exposure will help them get a airi-
al, this time with Prcscott and Halpem as expert
witnes.ses.
"Perhaps there's a way to redress the terri-
ble wrongs done to this family," said Halpem
in a lune news release, "wrongs based on a
local community's ignorance and misperccp-
tions."
According to Halpern. one week after
~20/2U" aired, producer Hill Wallace had
already received over 5(X) responses — more
responses than any previous segment.

Spring's Queer Fest, held on the
Library Lawn.
'Compared to other places its size,
the Pioneer Valley is probably a very
good place for gay people to live."
said Sarah Pease, acting director of
the UMass Stonewall Center, the
campus GLB resource agency.
"The range of culture is much
more limited than in. say New York.
Boston, or San Francisco, but next to
some county in Pennsylvania or just
about anyplace else this size, it's a
great place." Pease said.
At UMass. besides the Stonewall
Center, there are four major
resources and support centers serv-
ing the GLBT community: The
Stonewall Center, the Lesbian
Bisexual Gay Alliance, the Gay
Lesbian and Bisexual Graduate
Student Organization. the
Chancellor's Task Force for GLBT
Matters, and the 2 in 20 Floor for
GLBT Students and Their
Heterosexual Allies.

The Stonewall Center
Celebrating its tenth anniversai^
this fall, the Stonewall Center was
created to serve GLBT students, fac-
ulty and community members, as
well as heterosexuals.
According to Pease, the Stonewall
Center offers many in- house
resources at its offices in Crampton
House in Southwest, including a free
lending library, oamphlets, posters
and the largest computer database on
GLBT resources in the Pioneer
Valley. The center has a full profes-
sional staff that keeps the office run-
ning 9-5, five days a week.
"Depending on what you come in
for, y<ju can use the library for some
research, watch a video, or just take
advantage of the peace and quiet to
read a book,' Pease said.
The Stonewall Center operates sev-
eral other services on campus, includ-
ing a GLB Speaker's Bureau, a
monthly newsletter called Blatant,
LAMDA, a 24-hour automated tele-
phone information line and a GLBT
information service available on the
Internet through the UMass gopher.
The center sponsors the GLB
Studies Brown Bag Lecture Series,
which brings in speakers from all
over the country to lecture on GLBT
issues. In the past, speakers have
addressed a wide range of topics,
from censorship to transsexuality to
AIDS ta racism. The lectures are held
every Wednesday at noon in the
Campus Center and are free and
open to the public. Students who
make advance arrangements can
attend the talks for University credit.
Plays, poetry readings, comedians,
concerts and the LCB Cafe Series also
come to UMass via the Stonewall
Center. Kate Bomstein, the Rirtaiions
and several other prominent GLBT
performers have visited the University
in the past few years.
The Lesbian Bitexiuil Cay Alliance
Formed as a registered student
organization in the early 1970s under
another name, the Lesbian Bisexual
Gay Alliance (LBGA) continues to
serve UMass GLBT undergraduates
through meetings, dances and other
support services.
The LBGA office, located on the
top floor of the Student Union, is a
comfortable room filled with couch-
es, books, newspapers, magazines
and a large bulletin board listing
GLBT resources and events. During
the school year, the office is staffed
by student volunteers who offer their
time to visitors in need of assistance.
Every Tuesday night, the LBGA
sponsors "Info-Socials" in the
Campus Center that allow GLBT stu-
dents the opportunity to socialize and
exchange information with each
other. Discussion topics range from
coming out to parents to how to deal
with homophobic teachers and room-
mates. Meetings sometimes feature
videos, guest speakers and food.
During the school year, the LBGA
is responsible for three main activi-
ties. National Coming Out Day on
October 1 1 usually involves a rally
on the steps of the Student Union.
Last year Queer Fest was an all-day
outdoor festival that took place on
the lawn next to the Campus Pond.
The LBGA also holds monthly
dances.
Graduate group and task force
The Gay Lesbian and Bisexual
Graduate Student Organization was
formed in 1991 as a graduate-level
equivalent of the LBGA. This organi-
zation has a representative in the
Graduate Student Senate and holds
weekly meetings and social activities,
including a Friday evening coffee
social in the Graduate Lounge.
The Chancellor's Task Force for
GLBT Matters is a group of staff, stu-
dents, administration and faculty that
meets to assess the needs of the local
community. This organization led the
fight for domestic partnership recog-
nition at UMass and continues to
advocate the establishment of a
GLBT Studies Program. This fall the
task for will release a booklet with
course listings for GLBT-related
classes being offered in the Five
College Area.
2 in 20
The 2 in 20 Floor for GLBT
Students and Their Heterosexual
Allies is a special interest residential
program that offers GLBT students
the safety and community that might
not be available in other on-campus
housing arrangements.
UMass is one of the only universi-
ties in the country that has a program
like the 2 in 20 Floor and since its
inception three years ago, the floor
has had a lot of success. GLBT stu-
dents live in a coed environment
complete with special workshops and
a bi-annual open house.
"The 2 in 20 Roor is a safe space
for GLB folks to live without ques-
tion," said Anne Marie Peavey, who
has served as the floor's resident
assistant for over two years. "It's a
community in which we can support
each other and live free of harass-
ment."
Students at UMass have access to
many more GLBT resources and ser-
vices, including classes at UMass and
local colleges, GLBT-sensitive coun-
seling, protection from discrimina-
tion and mediation provided through
several UMass agencies and local
GLBT businesses, political organiza-
tions and social groups that are open
to students.

Congress returns for political fight
By Dove Skidtnore
AssociatBd Press
WASHINGTON — Fresh from a
summer break, majority Republicans
in Congress are ready to engage in
historic battle with the Clinton
administration and congressional
Democrats over how much — and
how fa»t — to shrink the government
and il!< huge budget deficit.
Into the next three months or so.
Congress will try to cram years of
legislative work on such complex and
divisive issues as welfare reform, tax
reduction and federal health care
spending.
But that's not all. There are other
fights to be fought, including a possi-
ble attempt to override Clinton's veto
of a bill lifting the arms embargo
against Bosnia. The Senate commences
hearings on the FBI shootout at Ruby
Ridge. Idaho, in 1992 and the House
still has to act on a Senate-passed
counter-terrorism bill offered in the
wake of the Oklahoma City bombing.
By comparison, congressional
action through the first eight month.s
of this year — including the OOP's
vaunted "Contract With America" —
has been little more than a prelimi-
nary skirmish.
Overshadowing it all is the possi-
bility President Clinton and the first
Republican-controlled Congress in
40 years will be unable to find com-
mon ground on spending and taxes.
Such a scenario raises the specter of
a protracted shutdown of the govem-
ment and possibly even a first-ever
default on the national debt.
"At some point, if we're going to
avoid a real disaster, these folks have
got to start talking to each other,"
said political science Professor
Charles |ones of the University of
Wisconsin, 'But I just think strategi-
cally it's to their advantage to push it
right to the edge."
In a sense, the big questions
already have been answered.
In lune, Clinton conceded
Republicans' main points: the budget
should be brought into balance.
Medicare spending ^hould be reined
in«iul there ahouki be Mme ux-ui»
But GOP lawmakers have so far
largely ignored the president's pre-
scription for how to achieve those
goals. He wants to balance the bud-
get in nine years — they want to do it
in seven. He wants to trim projected
Medicare spending by $89 billion
over seven years — they want n>
squeeze $270 billion in Medicare
savings. He wants a tax cut of $105
billion and wants to focus much of it
on encouraging secondary education
— they want to slash $245 billion,
dividing the cuts between families
with children and businesses.
Unless Republicans unexpectedly
alter their plans. Clinton this month and
ne%t almost certainly will vett> some of
the 1 3 appropriations bills needed to
finance government operations during
the fiscal year starting Oct, 1 .
The House has passed 1 1 and the
Senate six. But the two chambers
have worked out a compromise on
only one. a $2.2 billion measure pay-
ing for Congress' own operations.
After its expected approval by both
the House and Senate, it likely will
be the first of the 15 to reach
Clinton's desk.
To avoid stalemate. Congress and
the president eventually will have to
compromise because the Republican
majorities — 54-46 in the Senate and
233-201 in the House — fall far
short of the two-thirds necessary to
override a veto.
Reaching a compromise, however,
won't be easy .And failure to enact
appropriations bills in time could
force a shutdown of agencies and
departments — anywhere from a fi"w
hours to a few days, which has hap-
pened as recently as 1990
After ihc appropriations bills
comes a guint budget rccunciliation
biU governing upending on automati
cally paid benefits such as Medicare.
Medicaid and welfare and would
include any tax cuts.
Its passage is not required to keep
government going but it is essential
for reducing the deficit So, GOP
leaders are threatening to tie it to a
measure raising the federal debt ceil-
ing from the current $4.9 trillion.
Failure to increase the debt limit
eventually would shut down the federal
government The iidministralion could
juggle things for u tc-w weeks. But by
mid-November at ihe latesl it would
face defaulting on Treasury securities,
SitKC that wouki risk sending flmincial
markets into a lailspin. each side is
counting on the other to blink.
No matter how events play out.
each side has ;i lot to lose politically,
either from being blamed lor intran-
•-igcntly causing a fiscal crisis or for
caving in on core principles.
One of the new Republican majori-
ty's goals will be \n show that it can
govern while Clinton's political goal
will be to demonslrute he can both
work with a Republican Congress
and curb its perceived excesses, said
former Congressional Budget Office
Director Robert D Reischauer.
■Republicans have to keep this in
mind: fl they meet the president
halfway, they're giving his re-election
effort a big b<K)st." said Reischauer,
now at the Brookings Institute, a
Washington think tank.
UMass' Quasimodos toll the bells
By Amy H. Poradyiz
Collegian Staff
Hour after hour, year after year,
the bell tolls and hardly anyone
thinks twice about the Quasimodo
Club.
|im MacRostie, Director of
Operations at the Fine Arts Center
and executive secretary of the club,
describes himself and his colleagues
as "a company of clandestine campa-
nologists." Officially, the four men
are known as the Campus Chime and
Caroline Committee.
"Do you know what a campanolo-
gist is?" MacRostie asked. "Well,
campanology is the study of the art of
ringing bells in towers."
He stood beside John Nelson, the
clock expert, admiring the Old
Chapel — its Romanesque arches,
the Massachusetts coat of arms over
the doorway, the years engraved in
stone representing graduating classes
from 1890 until 1915. Only a few
other miscellaneous years are pre-
sent, as interest in the chapel started
to fade,
"This shows how the students
cared about the chapel," MacRostie
said.
The engravings were discovered
about eight years ago when ivy was
removed from the side of the building
that currently houses the University
of Massachusetts Minuteman
Marching Band
The building called "Old Chapel"
was built in 1884, the second oldest
building on campus after South
College It functioned as a chapel
until 1915. when Bowker Auditorium
was opened. Old Chapel became the
campus library, until Goodell was
built
In 1890. a classic nineteenth centu-
ry movement, or lower clock, was
installed. Until 1935. students were
paid 29 cents an hour to wind the
clock once a week, according to
MacRostie
Then the clock, which is still gravi-
tv^riven. was set up to wind electri-
cally. However, every time the
University clock system was adjusted,
the tower clock was unable to keep
up because its gears could not func-
tion due to the fact only gravity pulls
the gears, according to Nelson
l^si fall the clock was put on an
electric system independent from the
University. Nelson said.
Occasionally, someone will manu-
ally ring the bell or the chime, at least
once a month and on special occa-
sions. Years ago, it was rung every
day, said MacRostie.
"I don't know if I'll go all the way
up." said MacRostie. peering up the
ladder-like stairway .\ moment later,
he and Nelson made the climb -
MacRostie carrying his cane and
Nelson carrying a paper bag.
At the top of the stairs. Nelson
deposited a bird carcass in the bag.
explaining that in 1 98b there were so
many of them up there that the cUxk
could not function.
"To ring the bells you've got to
have a little muscle." said MacRostie,
"You use your hands, your feet and
everything else,"
That "everything else" includes bal-
ance. The rope used to ring the bell
hangs down that steep stairwell lead-
ing up to the tower,
"Now this is called a chime, not
chimes," said MacRostie, To be plur-
al, the chime must have two iKiaves,
he explained
MacRostie gave ilic >:i.iiii wmnlcn
keys "a gcnid solid wham ' OiiiMdc.
the chime could be heard clcarls
Inside the tower, however, the pronu
ncnt ni>ise was the banging of the
clavier, the set of levers that allows
the chime to be played somewhat like
a piano

some noise. onl> Ken Samond. .i

Professor claims tobacco education
is not getting its fair share of funds
By Poul HoyM
CoUegion Skifl
Whenever a tobacco product is
purchased, a portion of the money
goes towards programs aimed at pre-
ventfng and ending the use of the
narcotic. However, some say not all
of this money is being used for its
intended purpose,
"Question One" is a stale ballot
initiative which raised the stale
tobacco tax by 25 cents per pack of
cigarettes and on smokeless tobac-
co by 25 percent of its wholesale
price.
The goal of the agenda is to pro-
vide funds for tobacco education and
prevention programs, as described in
a report co-written by University of
Massachusetts professor Michael
Begay
The money raised by Question
One is deposited into the Health
Protection Fund (HPF), said Kathy
Cary, Chief of Staff for Slate Senator
Seal Hicks (R-Wayland), a propo-
nent of Question Orie.
Tlie Rainbow Connection
(MnyHON SMrm/coiiicwN
Jamie Bishop, 1 1 , of Hadley, looks through her tube balloons during Staff Appreciation Day held on Sept. 1 . The celebration was for UMass staff
and their families.
Diversion of funds
In their report, published this
August. Begay and fellow professor
Stanton Glaniz of the University 4)f
California said many organizations
designated to receive Question One
funds are receiving less money than
they should.
One reason these organizations
received inadequate funding is that
the first budget was based on 18
months, or one and a half fiscal
years, worth of Question One raised
HPF funds, said Slate Senator Stan
Rosenberg (D Amherst.)
Last year's budget was based on
only a single fiscal year's worth of
funds, resulting in a lesser amount of
money being available, Rosenberg
said.
He added that another factor for
programs receiving decreased fund-
ing is the smoking cessation is work
ing, resulting in fewer cigarettes
bought and less money being given to
Question One.
However, according to Cary. the
HPF receives in between $9 and $10
milhon dollars a month.
For the 18 month period Hicks
and other advocates got $96 million
approved for the HPF. yet last year
only $77 million was appropriated
for HPF use. Cary said
If the state is receiving $100 $120
million a year through Question One.
they could still afford to give the HPF
$96 million. Cary said.
Some programs funded by the
Question One tax are being criticized
for not really being eligible to receive
HPF funding. These are programs
that would have received money
from the state general fund,
"This year $5 million is going
towards a fire safety program."
Rosenberg said. "Part of the program
will supposedly teach against smok-
ing at home or in bed."
"The connection jof the fire safety
program] to Question I is so tenu-
ous, I voted against it." Rosenberg
continued, "But the proponents
voted for it "
Yet. Cary disputed Rosenberg, say
ing Hicks was indeed opposed lo the
"diversion,"
The first time the prop«isal to fund
the fire safely class, a $2 5 million
request, was introduced it was
defeated. Cary said
She added that the second time it
was put to a vote, this lime requovt
ing $1 25 million. State Senator |ohn
O'Brien (D Andiiver) annouiuetl on
Ihe Senate floor a request by the
Coalition for a Healthy Future, which
supports Question One.
According to Cary. he told the pro
ponents to vole in favor of the fire
safety course, saying that the
Coalition was allowing it to "take the
heat off their backs." Subsequenlly,
the proposal passed.
Competing programs
"Maybe we gave more money than
we should to the other' programs."
Rosenberg said of other programs
that were not strictly smoking cevsa
lion and preventi<in programs "But
we felt thai they were in tough ^hape
and they could not have survived
long enough to receive state funds,"
Begay's report shows these "other"
programs are receiving both state
and HPF funds, resulting in a 9 3
percent or 14.5 million dollar rise in
their funding.
Programs relating to the cessjition
and slopping of smoking, however,
only receive HPF money, the report
said.
The report also showed, as indlcal
ed by Rosenberg, the anuuinl of HPF
money available is becoming signifi-
cantly less due lo actual smoking ces-
sation, a misappropriation ol (unds
on non tobacco programs and a fail-
ure of the coalition which passed
Question One to mobilize -upporl lo
keep an eye on where the money is
going.
The result of this, as shown by
Begay's findings, is a 19 percent
decline in tobacco education fund-
ing

Hoffa Jr. announces candidacy
ISJamesake wants to lead Teamsters ^ follmving father's legacy
By Sharon Cohen
Associated Press
DETROIT — Every Sunday as a young boy. his father
would pile the family into their black Cadillac for an
afternoon drive.
Invariably. hc"d lead them to the kind of place he
launched his career — a picket line.
By the lime the boy was a leen. his father was leader of
the largest, richest labor union in the world. By the time
he was an adult, his father was a criminal behind bars,
while the son. a young lawyer, fought to free him.
Now. 20 years alter his lather disappeared in what is
widely assumed a mob-linked murder, lames Phillip Hoffa.
son and namesake ol one ol America's most famous and
powerful labor bosses, wants to lead the Teamsters.
On Labor Day. he's set to announce his candidacy for
union president
"I'm not going to sit back and watch the union thai my
lather built be destroyed," he says from his office, deco-
rated with a poster of the lack Nicholson movie "Hoffa."
"Today. I look at a union that has fallen on hard times,
that is really in financial trouble ... that needs leadership."
Hoffa. a labor lawyer who has done mostly Teamster
work for 26 years, vows to stem the union's dwindling
membership and shrinking assets. "I've been preparing
for this all my life." he said confidently.
While he is eager to talk of flaws in the Teamsters of
present, he's less inclined to analyze the rampant corrup-
tion of the |>ast
"I think the most important thing is what are (he
Teamsters now — not what they were." he sjid "I live in
1995 and I hope you do. too."
He regards Teamster scandals (three presidents,
including his father, sent to prison) as history, and rejects
as a "media view" a suggestion the elder Hofia was noto-
rious. In his 54 years, he said, the legacy ol his name has
served him well
"Ninety-eight percent has been very positive I don't
dwell on the other 2 percent." said the blond. buHy, 5-
foot-9 former college linebacker, in fact, he signs auto-
graphs and "Hoffa" caps and e\en inscribes a not always-
llattering' biography of his father - he said ihe book is
balanced.
His father's influence is so vast, he said, that he met a
young man on a Michigan picket line last year with the
word "Hoffa" shaved in his scalp. When he asked why.
the young man told him:
"Because Holla means a strong union."
Holla's own strength as a candidate will be tested in
the fall of 1996 when he tries to oust Ron Carey as presi-
dent of the 1.4-million member Internalional
Brotherhood of Teamsters.
Though the election is more than a year away, the
name-calling and finger-priming already have begun,
with accusations that both men have lies to organized
crime — charges they both deny.
Hoffa claims Carey has negotiated awful contracts,
divided the members and pushed the Teamsters to the
edge of bankruptcy. Assets dipped so low the union strike
fund was depleted for 16 months — $55-«-weck benefits
were reipNtated Sept I
Stagnant wages fuel *90s profits
By James H. Rubin
Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Business
profits have soared in the "905
largely because the wages of
American workers have been kept
stagnant, according to a report
released Saturday by a think tank
affiliatc'd with labor groups.
"Increased profitability in the
1990s is not the result of greater
investment or an acceleration of
productivity." said the Economic
Policy Institute. "Business profits
have been fueled by stagnant or
falhng wages."
The institute study said after-tax
profits last year were the highest in
25 years, greater than at the end of
earlier postwar recoveries.
Hourly compensation would
have been 4 percent higher for all
workers last year had profit rates in
the 1990s averaged what they did
in the period from 1952 to 1979,
the report said.
The study said in the last six
years, hourly pay. when adjusted
for inflation, has remained the
same or declined for all but the top
20 percent of male wage-earners
and the top 50 percent of women
in the work force.
Private economists did not dis-
pute the findings but offered differ-
ent interpretations of the signifi-
cance of the data.
"I better get my handkerchief
out,* said Michael Evans, who runs
his own economic forecasting ser-
vice in Boca Raton. Fla.
"Maybe people are being paid
what they're worth. That could be
called economic Darwinism. Some
people think that's unfair."
Sung Won Sohn. chief econo-
mist with Norwest Corp. in
Minneapolis, a bank holding com-
pany, said it is misleading to view
corporate profits and wage trends
as opposing forces.
'We're all capitalists." he said.
"We own pensions that are invest
ed in corporations. Very few
workers do not have a stake in
capital*
Sohn also said the revolution in
computer and information technol-
ogy has contributed to rising prof-
its and produclivily, eliminating
blue-collar jobs in the United
States aiKl sending them overseas.
But the Economic Policy
Institute said its study shows other
factors at work, including a trend
begun in the early 1980s that
allows corporations to keep more
of their profits alter taxes.
The percentage of corporate
income paid in taxes has fallen
from an average ol 44 5 percent in
the 25-year period that ended in
1979 to 52 4 percent in the 1980s
and 51 percent now. the study said.
The report also said that pre-tax
profits lor businesses have risen as
firms cut costs by holding down
wage increases and eliminating
jobs.
The hourly wage of the median
male worker declined 1 percent per
year from 1989 through 1994. the
study .said.
'Business profits are up. but the
vast majority of Americans contin
ue to work harder for less." said
Lawrence Mishel. a co-aulhor of
the study and research director for
the institute.

Lawmakers gather for protest
Foreign politicians protest planned French nuclear testing
By Chrislophe Marquand
Associated Press
PAPKFTE. Tahili — Foreign lawmakers and ihou
sands of Tahilians paraded through the capital's streets
Saturday, denouncing French President lacques Chirac
and demanding he cancel planned nuclear test blasts in
the South Pacific.
Up to ^.OCK) protesters lilled Papeete's main street at
midday. A> they passed a "peace village' built to com-
memorate the rally, some sang hymns and others
denounced Chirac.
Flags from japan. Australia. New Zealand and
European nations, carried by contingents from their
parliaments, waved beside the banner of the Tahitian
independence movement and placards criticising
France.
.About 100 foreign legislators joined the march,
including Japan's Finance Minister Masayoshi
Takemura. who arrived early Saturday with 2 > other
Japanese lawmakers
'It is not tcH.1 late for President | lacques) Chirac lo
turn back from the nuclear testing." "Takemura said
"Nuclear weapons are a relic from a previous era "
French officials complained to Australia and New
Zealand, saying the presence of their legislators
amounts to meddling in France's internal affair^ b\
pnividing allies for Tahiti's independence movement.
France was uidely expected to set off an under
ground nuclear Wast soon, ending a jyearold morato-
rium French authorities have said only that the eight
or nine explosions will occur between September and
May
The tests are to be held on Mururoa and Fangatauta
atolls. 750 miles southeast of Papeete, the capital of
French Polynesia, which has. become the fc>cal point of
the anti-nuclear movement since France announced the
tests.
Polls show more than bO percent of the French pub-
lic oppose the tests. Chirac contends they are needed

puter He said he will sign a glotxil test ban treaty after
the tests, a promise that has done little to slop the out-
cry.
Up to 15.000 demonstrators were expected to
pri>test Saturdav. as were ab*.)ut lOt) legislators from
lapan. Europe. Australia and New Zealand It was to
be held in a s«.>ccer stadium.
Marr\ WikkI. an Australian lawmaker, said the law-
makci> hoped lo liighlighl "ihe amount of opposition
right throughout the Pacific and other countries."
Hundreds of Tahitian independence activists
blocked two highways leading into Papeete Friday
evening. A motorcyclist was injured when he tried to
run the roadblock One of the roadblocks remained in
place Saturday, snarling traffic in Papeete.
The protesters were angered by the detention of
independence leader Oscar Temaru. who was aboard a
Oreenpeace ship when French commandos stormed it
Friday just inside the territorial waters of Mururoa.
The commandos also seized another ship, the MV
Greenpeace, just outside the 12 mile limit.
Temaru and 22 others were llown in handcuffs to
Papeete, where they were released. Greenpeace
spokesman Tinn Clements in Washington said "the
entire flight ol ?i wj'. in handcuffs, and not treated
too well."
Temaru led Saturday's parade. French military offi-
cials said some ol those detained would be prosecuted
tor entering Mururoa's territorial waters.
Greenpeace claimed the commandos used sledge-
hammers to smash radio and satellite equipment on
bi>ard the RainK>w Warrior II and severed the ship's
radio cables. Greenpeace released a videotape of the
raid showing the cotnmandos breaking into the control
rtvin with blowtorches.
A French military spokesman in Paris declined
Saturday to comment on the Greenpeace charges.
Penelope Komites. a Greenpeace spokeswoman in
Paris, said the environmental organization might sue
the French government for piracy because it seized the
M\ Greenpeace in international waters.
The French said the ship carried a helicopter that
llew over the test site tc> film military installations.
"International law was manilesily broken." Francois
Baroin, a government spokesman, told France-Info
radio in Paris.
The French na*y also intercepted nine Greenpeace

she was unaware of any other Americans on board.

Reforms offered by Mexico's PRI party
By Anita Snow
Associated Press
MEXICO CITY — Between upbeat
statements about Mexico's recovering
economy. President Ernesto Zedillo
made an unusual promise last week:
to loosen the once-imperial presiden-
cy's exclusive grip on power.
Political commentators welcomed
the announcement as a step toward
full multiparty democracy for
Mexico. where the ruling
Institutional Revolutionary Party
(PRI) has held power since 1929.
"It is an important factor in break-
ing the vicious cycle that still exists
between the government and the offi-
cial party." said an editorial Saturday
in the newspaper Reforma.
Zedillo promised in his first state-
of-the-nation address Friday to create
a Federal Auditor's Office that would
make the legislature — instead of the
president — responsible for public
spending.
The PRI has stayed in power
through a mix of patronage, electoral
fraud and intimidation. Since taking
office Dec. 1. Zedillo has pushed
through reforms to strengthen the
judiciary and appointed the first
attorney general from an opposition
party.
Giving a legislative body oversight
of the executive branch is a funda-
mental pan of balancing branches of
government. Zedillo said.
"The creation of a high-level
Federal Auditor's Office within the
Congress would correct the current
erroneous practice by which the body
inspected is also the inspecting
body." Zedillo said. "It would
encourage impartial, transparent,
credible and reliable rendering of
accounts to the nation."
Zedillo's promise to cede some of
his office's power went unnoticed in
some newspapers, which focused on
his upbeat message about the
Mexican economy, that he declared is
recovering.
But it could ultimately prove more
important to building a true democ-
racy in Mexico.
The move also would help to sepa-
rate the government from the long-
ruling PRI and ensure that state
money isn't funneled to the party for
election campaigns and patronage
projects, commentators said.
"The executive cannot continue
being his own judge and must create
the Federal Auditor's Office to over-
see public expenditures and diminish
the high grade of corruption.' said
political scientist Lorenzo Meyer, in
comments published by Reforma.
The federal Attorney General's
Office is investigating charges the
ruling party exceeded spending limits
in the southern state of Tabasco, in
which PRI candidate Roberto
Madrazo Pintado was declared the
winner.
Madrazo Pintado's opponent.
Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador of
the leftist Democratic Revolutionary
Party, maintains that Madrazo's cam-
paign spent the equivalent of $39 5
million, and said he believed at least
some of that came from the govern-
ment. The legal limit was $633.CXX}.
Brunei's ruler keeps things simple
By Vijoy Joshi
Associated Press
BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN. Brunei — Except for the
sultan's 1.778-room palace, lit up at night like a giant
pearl, tiny Brunei is modest about its vast oil wealth.
Schools and hospitals are free, but no fleets of Rolls-
Royces cruise the tree-lined streets of this sleepy
Southeast Asian capital. There are no skyscrapers, only
squat British colonial-era buildings.
Instead of yachts on the Brunei River, there are tradi-
tional houses on stilts. Women wear sarongs and Muslim
head scarves, not fashions from Paris or Milan.
And Sultan FUssanal Bolkiah. absolute ruler of Brunei's
27b.OOU people, wants his isolated nation on the north-
west coast of Borneo to stay that way.
"We wish to be lefi alone, and free from foreign inter-
vention." he said in 1984. shortly afier independence from
Britain.
That sentiment is understandable. Five hundred years
ago. Brunei dominated an area stretching from modem-
day Malaysia to the Philippines. But after centuries of
encroachment by its neighbors whittled away most of its
territory. Brunei's rulers were forced to ask for British
protection in the late 1 9th century.
Today. Brunei is the size of Delaware, surrounded on
three sides by the equatorial rainforest of the Malaysian
state of Sarawak, fungle still covers more than 90 percent
of its territory.
But beneath this tiny land and the seas off its shores lies
a giant consolation prize — rich reserves of oil and natur-
al gas that make Brunei the Kuwait of Southeast Asia.
Pumping out 1 50.000 barrels of crude a day, the oil
wells support an economy that provides Bruneians with
an average income of nearly $17,000 a year, among the
highest in the world.
In addition to paying for clinics and scIkwIs, the sultan
also heavily subsidizes food, fuel and housing costs. There
is no national debt, no trade deficit and no government
budget deficit.
Imports supply 80 percent of the country's food,
although the Kedayan and Dusun tribes in the hinterlands
still raise vegetables and fruit and breed chickens.
The 49-year-old sultan, whose Istana Nurul Iman
palace is the world's largest resideiKe. presides over $37
billion in foreign assets, including the Beverly Hills
Hotel.
Some say that makes him the richest man in the world.
With the modesty of a modem Muslim ruler, the sultitn
responds that most of the money isn't his — he's just
managing it on behalf of Brunei.
The sultan's legendary generosity drew him into contro-
versy when it was revealed that he gave $10 million to
Oliver North in 1986 for his clandestine scheme to arm
the Contras in Nicaragua. Brunei asked for its money
back.
Brunei's fountain of oil wealth isn't expected to run dry
for decades, but the government realizes it can't rely on
just one export.
'The economic future of (Brunei) depends considerably
on the country's oil and gas reserves,' the sultan said
recently. "At the same time, of course, we have to diversi-
fy the economy.
His government has allocated $321 million over the
next five years to devekip industry, agriculture, forestry,
fishery and trade.

Noho hospital offers
interpretive services
By Amy Paradysz
Collegian Staff
Cooley Dickinson Hospital is now
offering access to approximately 30
trained interpreters spealiing
Spanish. Khmer, Polish, Russian and
Vietnamese, in recognition of "an
increase in non-English speaking
patients from the Pioneer Valley."
according to a press release.
"For a hospital of this size in a
community of this size, I think this is
very progressive,' said Peter
Schoenberger, Director of Public
Relations at the hoapital.
Hospital staff frcxn any of the facil-
ities in Northampton, Amherst,
Hadley and Easthampton can contact
interpreters through Casa Latina
through use of pagers 24 hours a day,
according to Schoenberger.
Cooley Dickinson is able to offer
this service through a collaboration
with Casa Latina, a Northampton
community agency which
Schoenberger described as "a gather-
ing place for Hispanics in the com-
munity" where "help with language
and cultural issues" may be found.
"We've seen the need for inter-
preters in our community, especially
in the Spanish community." said
lanet Gonzales, who works for Casa
Latina and is coordinating the pro-
gram. The interpreters have been
called several times a week since the
program started in |une, said
Goiuales.
Interpreters can be requested to
interpret oral or written communica-
tions during emergency care or
appointments. These situations
include "direct patient care, signing
forms, understanding discharge
instructions, medical decision- mak-
ing, pre-assessment visits or exami-
nations and family or interagency
meetings," according to the press
release.
"Casa Latina recruited bilingual
community residents with at least
two years of college experience and
guided them through 45 hours of
instruction in medical terminology,
patient confidentiality, safety and
emotional preparedness," said the
press release.
Interpreters are paid by the hospi-
tal on an hourly basis.
Other languages may be added to
the program depending upon patient
need and interpreter availability,
according to the press release.
If no interpreter is available,
Cooley Dickinson will rely on the
AT&T Language Line service that
accesses interpreters in over 140 lan-
guages over telephone lines.
j*^old Chaban, one of the Russian
interpreters, became interested in the
program when Casa Latina publi-
cized its new interpreter course last
spring
Chaban, a bilingual resident of
Northampton, already used interpre-
tation skills at the Western
Massachusetts settlement agency for
refugees where he works, since many
of the refugees in this area are
Russian.
"Some of [the course] was very
challenging even though I am quite
fluent." Chaban said.

Amherst and Hadley children

bank to thank for helping them
buy new playground equipment.
Up to $7,500 in funds raised by
both the Hadley PTO Playground
Committee and the Leisure
Services for the Town of .Amherst,
to go towards purchasing the
equipment for both towns, will be
matched by the Florence Savings
Bank.
The fund raiser began on August

newest branch in Hadley and is
scheduled to end on September 16.
the day of the new branches grand
opening celebration.
"They wanted to help the com-
munity in which they just opened
the bank in." said Paul Benjamin,
president of the banks advertising
and public relations firm the
Benjamin Company.
"We're doing very well, there's
a lot of contributions." said
Barbara Kellogg. Co-Chairperson
of the Hadley PTO Playground
Committee, about the progress
which her group has made in rais-
ing funds.
Linda Chalfant, the Director of
Leisure Services for the Town of
Amherst, also said that her group
is receiving a generous amount of
donations.
Ways in which the groups
receive donations have taken on
many forms, said Chalfant. from
raffles and car washes, to simply
having people send them checks.
Each group has raised approxi-
mately $2,200 each
The Pinal fund raising event is a
bike-a -thon which will take place
on the day of the grand opening
celebration, donations will be
made by the distance the partici-
pants go. Benjamin said.
He also said there will be two
levels of participation, one for
adults and one for children.
People can also rollerblade, jog
and walk the bike course.
While this fund raiser will put a
lot of money towards creating
playgrounds, there is still a lot of
miiney to be raised to achieve the
goal of $40,000 to build the play-
grounds. Benjamin said.
"We'd be very open and recep-
tive to students who want to help
in a community program such as
this." said Chalfant. "Any group
that wanted to help out can call
leisure services."
There are no future fund raisers
planned by the Florence Bank as
of now, but, said the banks
Director of Marketing. Douglas
Burr. "We're always looking for
community events in an area we
could tie into, to communicate
our philosophy of being con-
cerned for the community."
her fellow peer coun-
selors perform simple
ikits which addrew vari-
ous campus issues such
as sexual promiscuity,
alcohol and drugs, time
management and the
aforementioned cultural
adjustments.
The skits are followed
by both large and small
group discussions for
the purpose of personal-
izing the topics, accord-
ing to Magee.
In addition to the
skits, which primarily
focus on the social
aspects of university life,
the universal obstacles
many students may face are also covered. Among
the most important are financial aid and academic
success.
Magee said that financial aid is becoming
increasingly difficult to obtain in the needed quan-
tities for many CCEBMS students.
"There's not as much finarKial aid available," she
said. "We lost many students to lack of financial
aid last year From orientation, everyone is not
guaranteed to be here the first day."
Yet, while monetary support may be limited,
CCEBMS' peer counseling and tutoring programs
almost ensure that academic support is not.
Sidonio Ferreira, an academic advisor at
CCEBMS. said both means of assisting students in
their education process are invaluable, especially
the peer relationships.
"It's very positive for first-year students to inter-
act with older students," he said.
Ferreira also said he believes by polling last
year's first- year students about their CCEBMS ori-
entation, this year's effort was made more effective.
"Most of the evaluations we got back were very
positive." Ferreira said of this year's results.
According to Ferreira. much of the success can
be attributed to the unorthodox manner in which
the potentially dull information is presented to the
University newcomers.
"We didn't just throw information at (new stu-
dents],' he said.
Magee agreed the frank manner in which the
counselors deals with the many dilemmas students
may face makes the CCEBMS presentation valu-
able to the orientation process on the whole.
"We had a lot of one-on-one with [new stu-
dents)," she said. "I think we got our point across
very well."

Over 700 bicycles were reported
stolen last year from campus. acct>rd
ing to University of Massachusetts
Officer LawTence Holmes
As a measure to combat the high
number of thefts, the University of
Massachusetts Police Department
recommends that students register
their bike with the McClruff Licensed
Bicycle Registration Program, use
Public Safety's free engraving service
and a Kryptonite U lock
"People don't steal things they
can't sell," Holmes said
Once a bicycle is registered with
the McGruff Program, a tamper resis-
tant label is placed on the bike to
indicate it is registered The owner
needs to notify the registry before
selling the bike
The McGruff Program is adminis-
tered on behalf of the National Crime
Prevention Council by the American
Center for Bicycle Registration. Once
a bike owner fills out ihc application,
which is available at Public Safety
and pays the $5 fee. the bike is regis-
tered nationally
In addition, a Certificate of
Bicycle Ownership and a personal-
ized registration card are provided In
the package
Student bicycle owners may also
lake advantage of Ihiblic Safety's free
engraving, a service ihat is used by
many campus departments, as well as
students, to mark coniptilerv and
other expensive equipment
Last spring a UMasv student was
able to prove ownership ol his lost

Kids Will Be Kids
Two young teenage boys who look barely old
enough to drive are sitting on a couch in a crowd-
ed, smoky room, both staring down at the mari-
juana that they are breaking up and rolling on the tabic
Their conversation ranges from how messed up they are
going to get icmight. to how hard they are going to have to
scam in cirder to get some unsuspecting female into bed
with them. They flnish. light up and head off into the
throng of bodies to begin their hormonal conquests.
No. this isn't a scene out of Kids, the con-
troversial movie by Larry Clark that has critics
cheering and parents screaming blasphemy,
but it very well could be. Rather this scenario
is set in the small, extremely hick town where
I spent my summer vacation. How hick? Well,
there are only approximately 500 students in
the high school and it's grades 7-12 — a far
cry away from the New York City streets that
Kidi is set in. but up>on closer examination
really not thai much different at all
Since Kidi has been released nationally,
adults have protested that the film unfairly
portrays the way America's youth behaves because it
focuses on such a small sub-culture of adolescents
(lower-class. New York skateboarders). Tliey claim all
kids are not really that bad And yes. they are nght Most
teenagers are indeed probably not as bad as the characters
in Kids presents its viewers with. But the film is deflnitely
trying to make a point by being completely in your face —
e\en at the risk of being offensive.
Kids is offending, but it is making a bold statement (hat
we as a culture are seemingly refusing to accept: with
AIDS, drugs, the ntedia and general lack of parental
superMsion. being a teenager today is a whole different
^lon than it was 10 years ago
Sure "kids will be kids." drugs have and probably
always will be around, and casual sex has now become the
norm. But watch Kids for even just five minutes and you
will see an apathy, even borderline hollowncss. in the
characters that is downright frightening
What is even more frightening is when you take a close
look at the teenagers around you in your own life, guaran-
teed it won't take long and you see some of that afore-
mentioned apathy staring right back at you.
The self-destruction that we see on the movie screen in
Kids is going on everywhere, though in different degrees
than what the film presents. In my hometown it is easier
for a teenager to buy marijuana, acid, or even cocaine,
than ii is to get a case of beer. In the neighboring town, at
any time of day. one can walk downtown and purchase
their drug of choice directly in front of the police station.
Ask any kid in town where to "score" and
he'll immediately point you in the right Jirec-
tion. The question that remains is: if a bunch
of confused, pimply adolescents know all this,
how can all the adults not? Last year alone in
my town two kids were paralyzed from the
neck down in two separate (drunk driving
related accidents, and at least a handful of
teenage girls became pregnant Have we real-
ly come so far that it is easier to turn our
heads away than to address the problem head
on?
!( is hard not to notice in Kids that there is
an obvious lack of any kind of authority figure around.
The young characters in the film just come and go and do
whatever they please, and unfortunately this is not too far
away from the truth. More and more teenagers seem to be
left to do whatever they want and to decide amongst
themselves what is morally right and wrong.
When I saw Kids in the movie theater a week ago I
couldn't help but notice an interesting pattern.
Throughout the course of the movie, disgusted adults kept
standing up one by one and leaving the theater. By (he
end. all that was left was a small group of young people,
some who IcKiked a bit tixi young to adhere to the the-
ater's "no one under 18 admiiied" policy. As I walked out,
many of them were whooping, laughing and giving each
other high fives. (I everi hearci one person remark (hat "it
was the funniest movie he ever saw")
Maybe we should start seeing Kids for what it really is
— not an exact blueprint of what it's like to be a teenager
today, but rather a wake up call

World of Lunacy
Evan
Young
As I clear away the cobwebs
that have formed over three
months of summer in a vain
attempt to prepare my brain for the
abuse of random memorization that
(he fall has inevitably brought every
year for the last 15. I reflect on the
idiocy of mankind this summer has
taught me to appreci-
ate
Well ... let's rewind
that statement a little
Let's just say I now
have a finer apprecia-
tion for the general stupidity of
.\merica. Here are some reasons why:
Reason No 1: Telemarketers. For
those of you who don't know what
telemarketing involves, here's a hint
— telemarketers are the people who
call you almost every night a( (he
wors( possible moments.
For example, you are an inch away
from kissing someone who you've
wanied to kiss for your entire life
when the phone rings. You answer,
and someone who can't even pro-
nounce your name tries to sell you a
Bear Mountain Express Mastercard.
1 worked for a telemarketing com-
pany (his summer for abou( seven
hours, and in thai (ime I (alked (o
about 300 people. 1 eventually sold a
credit card to some lady who spoke
almost no English.
Reason No. 2: The O.I. Simpson
trial. The good cidzens of America
have let this idiotic farce go on for
much too long. But. we should all
take comfort in the fact that there is
a direct ratio between the amount of
money you are willing to spend on
your (defense and the chances of your
not being convicted of a crime.
Maybe if Susan Smith had a few
million dollars to
spend on a superstar
defense team she
would have been
found innocent, and
the Motor Vehicle guy
who inspected her brakes would be
on death row. Money just doesn'(
talk anymore, it picks up a cellular,
calls some people, pulls a few
strings and allows the guilty to go
free.
Reason No. 3: Well, if you haven't
heard of it already, visual harassmeni
will be coming soon to a city near
you. This summer in Minneapolis,
enough women were bothered about
being siared a( ((echnically "ogled")
by cons(ruc(ion workers (ha( they got
the couns to hand down wha( is now
a penahy for visual harassment. (For
those of you who think this sounds
like a joke, it is not. This is life in
Minnesota.)
If you stare at a woman walking by
you for 10 seconds or more, you can
be fined. They can take away your
hard- earned money if you are caught
performing what is basically one of
the last sacred forms of male enter-
tainment that still exists — checking
out chicks.
This whole visual harassment thing
brings a number of questions to my
mind. Will there now be (in addition
to meter maids) vision maids running
around the streets with stop watches,
handing out tickets? If you look at a
girl for ^.99 seconds, can you look
away really fast, reset the visual shot
clock, and earn an additional 9.99
seconds of unhindered ogling? So
what comes next — Olfactorial
harassment? If a few men forget to
wear their deodorant and walk by a
group of women with sensitive noses,
can they be hauled away?
Will posters of Big Brother start
going up next to TV's and video cam-
eras everywhere in the city?
Well, these are just a few reasons
why life in Australia seems much
more stimularing (han life in our
country. The really scary thing that 1
learned this summer, though, is that
either no one in this country seems to
notice (he ridiculous things (hat we
get wrapped up in (i.e. O.F.
Simpson), or they just don't give a
damn. Shouldn't these things set off
a little set of bells in our heads? Docs
anyone see (he lunacy (ha( is going
on not just around us. but right in
our laps?

A Nicer Media
Tara
Ruelle
Three years worth of college
and I was not prepared for
the summer internship in my
major. In the classes I've taken I
learned to criticize and berate my
desire to be involved with the news,
and I was prepared to be disappoint-
ed with (he "media" and its tainted
viewpoints. I never expected to care
or actually love what I did.
I. in my traditional,
cynical ways, expected
to gain college credits
for (his job and maybe
a litde more than (ha(.
Wha( I have come
away wi(h. though, is far greater than
the $300 dollars 1 dropped on this
quest for resume potential. I defi-
nitely did not intend to use this col-
umn for a "what 1 did on my summer
vacation" essay; but I find myself
compelled to gush about the value of
an internship in the field I begrudg-
ingly put down next to my name in
College of Arts and Sciences
Information and Advising Center two
years ago.
I was fortunate enough to have
known what I wanted to do for (he
res( of my adult life when I entered
(his school four years ago. However.
after taking on the major I discovered
all the ills of journalism and ques-
tioned my intentions of jumping into
this realm. I basically found myself dis-
covering numerous faults within the
media, the current (rend of exploita-
tion, and the basic lack of morality in
news coverage.
When I walked into (he illustrious
doors of WHDH Channel 7 Boston in
early June I held on to
these pre- conceived
notions. I was more
than surprised to find
that the two people 1
worked for ac(ually
cared abou( (he subjec(s of (heir s(o-
ries and wan(ed me (o adap( to this
behavior. These were the people that
have made me able to defend and
respect the news.
One of my most imporiant tasks
this summer was to call people back
that had left messages about con-
sumer problems they were having. I
was adamantly told to call everyone
back whe(her (hey didn'i get all of
(heir nine pieces in their Kentucky
Fried Chicken bucket or (hey were
chea(ed ou( of money by some well
known swindler. The value of story
potential was considered less impor-
tant than trying to help (hese people.
I did no( know (his concep(. and I
imagine a lo( of people who choose (o
judge our media don'( ei(her. Although
plenty of exploitation exists, (here are
aspects of the media that work for the
general public. There is still a part of
the media that's truly concerned with
exposing the wrongs of the world and
working for the public good. People
can still depend on some reporters to
put the bad guy on the spot and help
them avoid scams and misfortune.
There will always be Geraldos and
"Hard Copy"-esque tabloid journal-
ism, but we should no( lump the
"media" in with this label. The media
seems to have become synonymous
with these hour long scandal fests. As
with anything else, we must judge
some(hing by (he sum of i(s parts.
With much appreciation. I can now
defend as well as criticize (his field of
journalism with an open mind. I real-
ize if I hadn't worked for this particu-
lar portion of television news I may
have come away with a different
view, but I do feel fortunate to have
seen another side to mass media —
which was a more human one.

Opinion/Editorial
A Surfing Cyber Slut
The character Cher from the
movie Clueless would call
me a "Cyber Slut." I would
call me a loser for spending hours
online surfing the net conversing
with people across the country
about anything and everything. But
a loser that experienced what our
future will be about.
It all started last fall
when I got an e-mail
account on campus and
found myself skipping
classes in order to
check my messages in
the library tower, hop-
ing to receive one.
Then, where I worked
this summer I discov-
ered a small computer
room that had online
services available. It was all too
perfect; I could surf the net in pri-
vacy while the company paid for it.
I have always heard this new
technological age being discussed
around me. especially because edi-
tors in the magazine field are con-
stantly discussing the future of
magazines and online. But I did no(
think I would hop on the bandwag-
on and indulge myself with these
new services. But because of its
addictive powers. I did.
Every day for at least two hours I
surfed the net. I went into different
rooms where people from all over
the country were discussing a par-
ticular topic. Online has hundreds
of rooms for different subjects.
Some are about music, entertain-
ment, politics and sex.
After spending some lime in
every room. I came to the conclu-
sion that wherever you were,
whether it be in the music, or
romance room, the discussion
always leads to sex. You could ask.
"has anyone gone to Lollapalooza
(his summer?" And someone may
reply, "no. bu( I would love (o
Lollapalooza you."
I'll admi(, several
(imes I would flirt with
a particular person.
There was this one
man. "EasyE4." that I
talked with for over an
hour. After a while he
asked me if he could
have my phone number
so he could call me. At
that point I got
extremely nervous and
imagined myself on Oprah.
"EasyE4" eventually got frustrat-
ed and signed off because I would
not give him my number. I was
mortified. I could not believe he
dumped me. After that incident. I
realized how pathetic I was becom-
ing and stayeid off-line for several
weeks.
Besides playing in the "Romance
Connecfion." I used the ln(eme( (o
ge( the daily news and updates on
particular events (at that time it
was the Susan Smith trial). The
Internet also has a library where
information about anything can be
found within seconds. It was
incredible.
Since I was very involved with
online this summer. I began read-
ing articles and watching special
reports on the news discussing it.
Although there were many updates
about (he recent magazines put
online, or other new programs
added to the Internet, the topics
experis argued abou( (he most
were pornography and censorship.
There is a great fear the Internet
will be taken advantage of and will
be used as an outlet for pornogra-
phy. There are no current censor-
ship laws for the Internet, therefore
it is an open arena for anything to
be shown, said, written, etc. Time
magazine wrote a huge article
about how access to the Internet is
very easy — too easy for children
to get a hold of.
Although I enjoyed my time
online this summer. I don't think I
would want my child to have
access to the service without super-
vision. Granted, the Internet is an
incredible way to obtain inconceiv-
able amounts of information quick-
ly, but children should not be able
to have access to these outlets.
Online can be scary. Stalkings
have occurred from people talking
online, getting to know someone
and offering information about
themselves. Laws were made for
both radio and television in order
(o curb violence and pornography,
and they will have to be made for
the Internet. But there is no rea-
son to be scared, or to get rid of
these services. Whether it is
approved of or not. the Internet is
our future and everyone should
take advantage of this new tech-
nology.

A Fine Place To Be
The editor of a certain Boston-based weekly news-
paper is unapologetic when it comes to the
make-up of his staff.
"Why are there so few black faces?" he asked, when
questioned at a meeting of student interns this summer.
"Simple matter cif competition." he answered.
He continued (o say (ha( Bos(on's two daily
papers, the Boston Globe and the Boston
Herald, hire the best and the brightest black
reporters before his paper even has a chance.
He explained that they s(ar( recruiting while
the reporters are still in college, and as soon as
the diplomas are handed out. they offer jobs
with irresistible salaries. Sometimes even more
irresistible than the salaries they offer to white
reporters.
"We just can't afford it." he told the interns,
pointing out (hat the annual operating budget
of his paper is only a fraction of either daily's budget.
As a result, the editorial department has the composi-
tion of an old photograph — bright and interesting, but
completely colorless. No blacks, no Asians and no lan-
guage but Standard American English, or a local version
(hereof.
The situation is the same throughout the office. With
advertising, graphic design and traffic sharing the same
colorless composition, white bodies fill almost every cubi-
cle and work station.
People get along pretty well overall. With no racial or
ethnic conflict to speak of. people deal with each other on
a case-by-case basis.
One writer dislikes an editor because he smokes cigars,
while another has a problem with the way he assigns
deadlines. No one is worrying abou( race or affirmadve
acrion or any of (hose o(her topics of contention.
Everything is just fine.
Or so it seems.
A( a meefing last July, someone asked one of the arts
and entertainment editors about covering some of the
black clubs in Roxbury and Dorchester.
"We've been working on (ha(." he said. "bu( (hey're jus(
so hard (o find." Clubs like (hose are hard (o reach on (he
phone, he said, especially since a lot of them are operating
without licenses in little places down back alleys.
He also said there's also the problem of who could
cover those clubs. Some of those areas are dangerous for
white people, especially at night. And since arts and enter-
tainment doesn't have any black writers, getting the story
done would be kind of risky.
Besides, he added, those clubs aren't exactly screaming
out for coverage anyway. (Roxbury and
Dorchester don't fit in to the paper's distribu-
tion plan). There had been some talk in busi-
ness about expanding to "minority areas." but
so far nothing had come of it.
Another editor suggested they could try
some kind of special marketing scheme and go
around leaving piles of free papers at local
stores and businesses to see how fast they dis-
appear.
"That would have been great for the slavery
story." someone said.
"Yeah, maybe they could give out free
copies on the days when there were stories of special
interest. Like when Nelson Mandela or another black per-
son makes the cover." someone else said.
Editorial meetings have a tendency to get a little
off-track, but this one was onto something. Pointing to an
item on the list of upcoming stories, the arts and enter-
tainment editor groaned.
"Will they really want to read us when we print stories
like this — The Crack Baby Myth'?"
The discussion went on as the editors debated the mer-
its of the story and moved on to other issues. After the
meeting, the editors got up and went about their business.
Everything was fine.
Or so it seemed.

Revise Affirmative Action
Affirmative action was instrumental during its early
times. It provided a spark in an era that was push-
ing for equal rights by providing opportunities for
minorities that were never available before. W iih (he mas-
sive jump of minorities immersed in higher education and
employment position, affirmaiive aciion looked (o be
pushing hard (oward dissolving walls of separaiion. But
like the way clothing styles change, so does our society
Affirmative action has been over-excersized and in addi-
tion to that, it is perhaps outda(ed. .^
Polls have shown (ha( a niajori(v of . rr- .- • i
Americans, including many from AfjirmUtlVe UCtlOn HUS
David K. Chan
minortiy groups, are opposed (o fo chiinoc with the
action policies (ha( force quo(as and t-T-iaA/gt VMin irit

appropriate approach to take in our CQUSe 0] affirmative

Some children, and many of them "'^V jOr achievement.
may not be from minority groups, suf-
fer from growing up in harsh neighbor-
hoods and poor, unstable faniilio. .\r\
education of better quality should be made available and
feasible to these children of disadvantaged backgrounds.
This is where affirmative action should fc>cus in on.
Every young child should have the chance to gain the
skills needed to compete, whether it is for schiK)l or a high
skilled job.
Affimialive action has allowed unprepared and under-
qualified minorities into higher education institutions and
employment position h has no( brough( minoriiies up to
the level of the students and workers who gained their
acceptances and positions through individual ability and
achievement.
One clear example is the students at the University of
California at Berkeley. Berkeley is perhaps (he nK)s( pres-
tigious branch of the California education system.
According to the lune 4 issue of The ,Vfu' York Times, on
average, because of affirmative action policies, black and
Hispanic students had much lower high school
gratie-point average and Scholastic Assessment Tes(
scores (han whiies and Asians. Black and Hispanic s(u-
den(s accep(ed through quixas did much worse. The
six-year graduadon ra(e is only 59 perceni fi.r blacks and
64 percen( for Hispanics. a big difference compared (o 84
percen( for whiies and 88 perceni for .Asians.
Don'i (hink that the failing performance of minorities
in affirmative action programs could be due (o (heories
such as (he Bell Curve or (he inferior menial capacities of
minorities. Any individual can perform pcKirly when they
are situated in u university or a job in which they are
unprepared or unqualified.
Cases such as Berkeley are not uncommon, and these
situations only cause harm, it feeds into bad stereotypes
abou( minoriiies and fos(ers resentment felt by whites and
_____^^^___ Asians who were perhaps reused
admittance because of certain quota
proportions.
This also applies to the work force.
There is resentment among successful
members of minority groups who
have achieved their status through
personal merit, not with their back-
ground.
In (he .August 21 issue of Business
Week. Gary S. Becker, a Nobel laure-
ate and (eacher a( (he University of
Chicago, said, "perhaps this is why a
black businessman. Ward Connerly.
proposed that California abolish affir-
mative aciion programs for minority
admissions at public universities. In
the '50s and ^Os. black, female,
lewish or other minority doctors,
lawyers and business executives were
presumed to be better than average.
Now. affirmative aciion programs have
re\ersed such judgnients. The average minontv professinnal
or business-wciman is ofien presumed (o be of lower quality
than the average white male in a comparable position."
.Affirmative aciion has (o change wi(h the times, and it
has to shift its focus. Quotas and set asides have been
taken Iiki far and are not helping the true cause of affir-
mative action by providing minorities the opporlunily for
achievemeni lns(ead. i( has undemiined (he confidence of
(hose who have performed poorly while sfirring resent-
ment among true achievers.
As the Presidential race begins to roll, affirmative
action has emerged as a hot issue. Pete Wilson,
Republican governor of California, has strongly voiced his
opinion that he is opposed tii affirmative action The oiher
major Republican candidates have as well. Bui hopefully,
politicians will be able to see ihat affirmative action doo
not need to be abolishc-d. bul changed.
Quality programs that leach the skills needed to com-
pete in today's society should be made available and
accessible to disadvantaged children of all backgrounds sn
they can be admitted to pres(igious universiiies and hired
by (op employers because of their ability, not their race or
gender.

One Step Toward Equality
Marni E.
Helfner
As you will soon find out
over the next few wi-eks. I
spent the past summer in a
small town in Northwestern
Wyoming. Sure you might think
that Powell. Wyo. is someplace in
(he Twilighi Zone and Wyoming is
a completely different country all
together, but hey. you haven't lived
there — so d<»n't talk.
One of the more interesting
things i found out about Wyoming
was it is the first sta(e (o give
women (he righ( to vote.
According to the
locals, the reason
why Wyoming gave
women the right to
vote was that at the
time, the majority of
Wyomingites were men. Men came
lo Wyoming (o work in (he mines
and oil fields, logging trees and plant-
ing grains. Apparently, there weren't
a whok- lot of women who were will-
ing to hang out in Wyoming a( the
end of (he earth, and giving them the
right to vote was to create an irKen-
tive. Hopefully, women would move
to Wyoming, meet a man. and get
married.
I'm not sure if it worked,
because Wyoming srill has less
than a half million people.
But this month marks the 75th
anniversary of the Seneca Falls
Convention and women gaining the
right to vote. There are parades
and rallies being held all over the
country to celebrate the simple
right given to all women.
What perhaps most people don't
know is the reasons why women
got the right to vote was not
because men wanted (o give
women equalliy The ideology at
the time was (ha( women were
more sensitive creatures 'han men
and were inherently good. Most
men who were in favor of (he
amendnien( believed that because
of this giHKlness. women would by
nature vote lor canJi^tHn that
were devoid of evil.
Good men would be elected to
positions. gi.K)d things would hap-
pen, and in turn, all
the problems of the
country would be
solved. That inherent
goodness would lead
to the right decision
and there wtmid be no more crime,
alcoholism, atheism, poverty or any
of the other social ills that ailed the
society.
Well, women got the right to
vote, and as is obvious, the scKietal
problems of that age are still pre-
sent.
Don't gel me wrong. I'm not try-
ing to say (hat women shouldn't
have the right to vote — what I am
saying is that don't expect all y<.>ur
problems to go away just because
women got a basic right.
For the women involved in the
movement, it also meant they
could elect candidates to positions
for their own political reasons. In
the lime since the convention, we
have gained ground in reproductive
rights, equal pay for equal work,
sexual harassment is not acceptable
and women have the right lo love
who they want to love.
But there is more work still to be
done. Sure, we can march and rally
and hold celebrations, but this is a
liny step in the bigger process.
Women are slill irealed like second
class citizens. Don't believe me?
\ou don't liave to go to Wyoming
to figure it out. just liK>k at UMass
MjMy fir«t- year women will have
problem* around how they look
and how they feel about their bod-
ies. Someone will get raped on
campus this year Women of color
are slill not Irealed with equality.
We can be content with the
morsel we have been given, bul
instead of holding a celebration,
this year lei's focus on what we
haven't gained yet.
Women of color need (o gain
respec( and equality among all
women. Women of color also need
lo register lo vole — they are the
least likely group lo register and
vole.
The basic reproductive rights we
have now. like the pill, abortion,
birlh control, family planning,
nutritious food for children and
child care, are all being threatened.
To quote one of my favorite
t-shiris. "Men can walk on the
moon, bul we slill can't get a safe,
adequate cimtraceptive."
So this year, hold a defiant cele-
bration in honor of the Seneva
Falls Women so long ago — go out

Fans Still Dare To Dream
Pennant fever can be a painful disease in New
England.
Harry Vinchesi wasn't quite 16 the last time (he
Bos(on Red Sox cap(ured (he World Series in 1918. He
didn'i (hink much about it at the (ime because (hose same
Sox had been champs in 1903. 1912. 1915 and 1916. and
there was little reason to think there weren't more on the
way.
But as the drought of championships
defines the Red Sox as an organization began,
so did Harry's affection for (he (earn.
Living in Boston's North End. Harry held a
variety of jobs, ranging from reseifing (he pins
at the local bowling alley, to eventually own-
ing a night club. But the job that made him
the proudest was working on the crew that
repaired Fenway Park's legendary Green
Monster. When the job was finished he spoke
of the wall as if he had designed and built the
famous s(ructure himself.
Like many other fans of the Olde Towne Team. Harry's
heart was broken when the Sox fell to (he S(. Louis
Cardinals in seven games during (he 1 946 World Series, a
year before his youngest of two daughters was bom.
Summer in the Vinchesi family revolved around Harry's
team. On family car (rips. Harry commanded comple(e
.silence as he lis(ened religiously (o (he Sox on (he radio.
His (wo daugh(ers never did develop (he love for base
ball that their father possessed, but their appreciation and
interest in the Red Sox grew as they grew older.
In fact, his oldest daughter holds the memory of being
with her father at Fenway when Ted Williams (Harry's
favorite player of (ha( era) hi( a home run in his first game
after returning from the Korean War.
Williams eventually retired and Harry's favor fell upon
a new left-fielder with a hard-to-spell last name. Harry
cheered for Carl Yastrzemski and dreamed (he impossible
dream, along wiih Yaz and the Red Sox in 1967. only to
have his heart broken by the Cardinals again in (he sev-
en(h game of (he World Series.
When lung cancer (hrea(ened his life in (he early ■70's.
Harry was srill a fan. He asked (o have a radio a( the side
of his hospital bed so he could keep up with his team.
Harry beat the cancer. Remission allowed
him to celebrate as Carlton Fisk rounded the
bases in his famous home run trot in game 6 of
the 1975 World Series. But it also allowed his
heart (o be broken once again, jusi one game
later, when the Cincinnati Reds kept Boston's
World Series drought alive.
Beating the disease also allowed Harry to
teach his love of the Red Sox (o a grandson.
Tha( grandchild's earliest memories are sit-
ting on "Grampy's" lap and hearing stories of
Yaz. lim Rice and George Scott.
Harry's second battle with an illness would
not be as successful. Alzheimer's disease stripped a great
deal of his memory, but even then he'd still be content
when his Red Sox were on TV.
Harry died in 1983. three years before the Red Sox came
within one strike of a title as the New York Mets broke the
hearts of baseball fans throughout New England once again
Harry stuck with his team despite being let down so
many times. And while in his lifetime he never saw another
championship in Boston, there are countless other aging
Sox fans praying (o see (heir team on top just once more.
Like so many others who dare to dream as Bos(on
cruises (o a division (iile and pos(-season play. Harry is
sitting in some corner of Heaven, begging (he baseball
gods and wondering:
"Could (his be (he year?"

Blame It On Entertainers

At the beginning of the sum
liter Bob Dole spoke out
vehemently against the
entertainment industry. .And my.
isn't it convenient that the issue
should ix)p up light before an elec
tion year? Using Time Magazine as
his vehicle for destruction. Dole
blamc'd most of societies' problems
on song lyrics, television shows and
everything else that had a violent or
slightly eschew content
Thrown into one
category and heavily
dosed with sweep

and out of date
philosophies. Dole
had all of .America on it's feet.
Musicians, writers, angry parents,
religious gaiups and belligerent tcx-ns
all had an c>pinion. Soon everything

of Interscope records because of
their "asscicialion" with rap (which
equals bad. ol course) musicians like
SncKip IXiggy IXig and Dr. Dre
People bi-gan lo liKik at incidents
that supported IXile's ihc\iry. Didn'i
a young girl gel beaten lo death in
Sweden because of the "Power
Rangers?" Wasn't an elderly man
murdered because rwi> boys thought
they were "natural born killers?"
And how many children were shot
and killed by gun loling gang nicin-
bers hoping to emulate Onyx'.'
To combat this backlash of nega-
tivity, people in (he indus(ry also ral
lied for the cause. Krist Novaselic.
former bassist for Nirvana even
started his own organization. jAM-
PAC. with other musicians to get
people to lobby Congress against
government censorship.
Bul what does it all amount to?
Where do you draw the line
between art and obscenily. creativi-
ty and violence? And (he big ques-
(ion: should the government have
the tight to censiir various aspects
of the enterlainntent industry? .And
most of all. where does the respon-
sibility of parents fit into it all?
The aforemenlioncxi
questions will probably
remain unanswered.
There are so many
convoluted sides and
ulterior motivations,
for exanipk- money and power, lo the
issue, than just a country's fall from
moral grace One can only hope that
the liiic-s do not becimie too blurred.
And speaking ol blurred issues,
isn't that what an election year
amounts to'' The whole inhaled,
cvhaled. "I am not a criKik" deal that
politicians hcKik onto when ihc-y a-al-
t/e how great it would be to have
family snap shots in the Oval Office?
Plalfoniis are shameless beacons

steer voters away from the rocky
shores of their opponents' warped
vic-ws. only to leave them smushed
on their own jagged boulders of
empty promises.
-And how many promises und
dreams are broken when simieone

blames his pitlalls and failures on
Congress, the House or Mickey
Mouse?
However, in this whole hoopb to
purge (he industry of its many evils,
it has also become clear that there
are a loi of things in the entertain-
ment industry that don't support
violence and hairc*d.
There are shows, songs and
movies that are conveniently
brushed aside in favor of the more
flashy and "newsworthy" negative
things that sell stories and gain talk
show spots These become the easi-

fingers at
What about TLC's "Waterfall"

haven't a number of celebrities

most wholesome drink on earth'.'
When talking about interpreta-

many, many shades of gray To use
a phrase that most people abuse,
"it's all relative." In fact anything
creative is relative and subjevt to an
individual's own opinion; opinions
that in and of themselves are com-

Enforcement Agency Under Fire
The Buic.iu ol Alciihol. Tobacco, and lirearms
(B.-\,T.F.) has come under heavy attack on sovt-ral
subjects within the pasi yeat. from political to eth
ical. but il's nu>s| recent pmblcms conceal an underlying,
ideological conflict
The controversy that erupted after (he
des(ruction of the Branch Davidian compound
in Waco. Texas, has recently been immeasur-
ably worsened by accusations of gross and
overt racism at annual picnics and events.
Vaulted into the sptulight by a series of
botched ctintrnntalions nver weapons posses-
sion, the B A T F had bcvn struggling lo keep
its head absive watet when the newest charges
arose over the summer.
Certainly, one of the B.A.T.F.'s most oner-
ous functions fruin a popular perspective is
the control of tralfic in illegal firearms (mos( especially
aulomatic and assiiult style weapons) Because these
agc"nis wiirk in an area very close to the line of what is
legal exchange and what is not. quite oflc-n they are mis
taken as curtailing ihe right lo bear arms."
Because it carries nut one of the less popular law
enforcement functions und is not contained within a more
venerated and untversiilly accepted insiitutitin. under the
auspices of which ihetr department could remain relative-
ly inconspicuous, the B A T.F is doubly marked As a
result, especially in ihe eyes nt radio demagogues, ever
vigilant for such opportunities, the B A T F has become a
sort of pariah.
As an Illustration, take G. Gordon l.iddy. known to his
lory as a common criminal for his role in the Watergate
scandal He recently wim an award for daring to say on
the radio what he certainly wouldn't say face to face with
any member of ihe B.A.'T.F.. namely "where lo shiK>t a
B.A.T.F agent most effectively."
Though Mr l.iddy's radio exploits are by no means
restricted to this comment, he won the "Free Speech
Award" (or some rela(ed nonsense) for a number of such
asinine and flagrantly incendiary remarks.
G Gordon l.iddy's example is one of a rapidly growing
number: the National Rifle Association's (N.R.A ) now
infamous newsletter is another. The reference lo B.,A.T.F.
agents as "jack booted thugs." a clear allusion lo Nazi
siorm triHipers of World War II. was later rescinded, but
not before being mailed to their millions of members.
(Soon thereafter, their ranks were reduced by one when
ex President George Bush publicly resigned in response
to the letter.)
To deny the colliMive proselytizing effect of these com-
ments would be absurd. And in conjunctiim with several
Incidents of questionable procedure on the part of the
agents themselves, all now under Investigation, the
HAT F has bewme ever more controversial.
As criticism increases aiKi joins niore main-
stream rhetoric, ordinary citizens can ea.sily
lose sight of the very specific mission of the
Bureau. When politicians add their voices lo
the attack, our concern ought to turn to skep-
ticism of the rhetoric rather than condemna-
tion of law enforcement. By targeting those
wht) enforce rather than the laws themselves,
where they have apparently already lost, the
instigators of this confrontation between
"concerned" citizens and law enforcement
agents have a formula for civil unrest. They
Itnd themselves in the minority, having tried lo exert
political Influence through ivrv' powerful lobbies such as
the N.R.A.. and now report to demagoguery to subvert the
system
I did not mean to reiterate the debate on the power of
talk radio, but it constitutes a major facet In the power to
ctmvert (eternally achieved through emotive speech; ask
Aristotle)
The B A T.F. has no business being on the receiving
end ol the debate over firearms. When lis agents break
the law. they must be investigated and punished if found
guilty, like any other citizen individual misconduct is not
a basis for criticizing the organization's integrity of pur-
pose. No one in Philadelphia or New York recommends
disbanding their p«ilice departments because of rampant
corruption and criminal conduct
As the Waco compound has already become a sort of
pilgrimage site for extremists of all persuasions, and the
now demolished Oklahoma City Federal Building has
become a national Icon, so the battle lines are gradually
drawn Though hardly a war. we can certainly expect
more showdowns between political/religious extremists
and the pariah BATE
Perhaps if the BATE, were a division of a more recog-
nized Insiltullon (such as the U.S. Marshal's Office), and
thereby separated from its stigmatized name, at least its
agents and offices might not be so terrorism prone. As
part of an organlz.allon encompassing many fields, terror-
ists could not simply target a single function and might
shy away from attacking such a potent agency. Would that
really be such a concession?

Cadet Falls Short
Shannon Faulkner was the
gleam in every girl's eye when
she arrived on the Citadel's
campus for her first day of classes
and training. She was tearing down
the walls of the old establlshnieni
and treading the way for many new
and promising young women who
would undoubtedly march in her
bixx prints.

a high pedestal,

that she quit

We wanied to march behind her
with our heads held high, saying.
"Yes. we belong here just as much as
the next guy." Saying, "Y»)u need us
just as much as we need you." But
Faulkner quit, just when we were
ready to send in reinforcements.
Although she spent more (ime in
(he infirmary (ban on ihe bartlefields
of "Hell Week." no one should see
Faulkner's departure as a s(ep back-
wards for (he wimien's niovemcn(.
She was sdll successful in getting her
court- ordered admission into an
all-male sch(K)l.
If we look a 20-year-t)ld girl who

my, to train hard and become a well
disciplined young leader ready to take
on rougher storms than what 1.952
young male cadets could stir for her.
then we would embrace her as an
ambitious role model and person.
But instead, the country and media

the unfit girl, trying to prove a politi-

After such a long and bitter strug-

She also could not take the
ostracism by the administration and
her fellow cadets. She refused to

The coverage of the western media
regarding the Middle East totally dis-
credits the stand of the Zionist
forces, regarding the "Promised

not identify themselves as an Arab
nation, they call themselves the
Israeli nation. In fact, news coverage
regularly reveals a general sentiment
of hatred towards the Arabs on the

conflict, obviously implying that
Israelis are not Arabs.
In a way. the Israelis not only con-

detest the very idea of being an Arab

Security Studies (PAWSS) at Hampshire College.

A* Klaie fawned over him. Spector shamelessly
as*et1c-d thai it wa* proper for the United Slates to
attack other state* for building the *ame weapons
thi* ciiuntry hoards because "we are a force for
good in the world." Meanwhile, for years Klare
would preach a "guns or butter" line to the third
world, suggesting that defense spending is immoral
no matter the clear threat to s<i many third world
societies hi* own nation po*es.
One can *till recall the horror on Klare's face
when the excellent Richard Falk refused to con-
demn third world deterrence programs as long as
thi* country continue* to maintain its enormous
nuclear *tockpiles. Clearly Falk's brand of honest
self-assessment is beyond him. as Klare has always
paid far more attention to condemning other, usu-
ally third world, weapons programs largely ignor-
ing his own nation's suKkpile*. PAWSS has always
had an affinity for moral asymmetry and
double-standards.
Of course. Klare never challenges the basic
assumptions underlying American imperialism. It is
typical of PAWSS thinking his disagreement is not
with the goals or outlook of the U.S. government,
but rather a question of tactics and scale.
For example. Klare never indulges in the use of
the "I" word (imperialism, or its equivalents) or
challenges the way in which United Stales interests
are constructed in all comers of the globe.
Klare agrees that the Pentagon's "rogues" are
that and deserve to be treated as such. His argu-
ment is not the truth, which is that these so-called
"rogues" are legitimate nations with normal inter-
ests and good, decent people living in them. It is
rather that they simply do not pose as great a threat
to the United Stales as the Pentagon implies and
thai they can be adequately dealt with without the
current high levels of military spending Implicit in
Klare's book is an understanding that if they did
pose such a "threat" (i.e. — that .Arabs could con-
trol their own oil, for example), then he would
agree to those steps needed to "meet the threat."
For example, his criticisms of the Gulf War
never touch on the question of the suffering of
Iraqis, or question the basis for the U.S. presence
in the Middle East in the first place Indeed. Klare
has always been in favor of the cruel and inhuman
sanctions that caused so much death and devasta-
tion in Iraq. Instead, he sees the Gulf War purely in
terms of the U.S. domestic budget debate and a
way for the Pentagon to test weapons and justify
expenditures.
Contrary to the impression carefully fostered
through PAWSS, Klare is not a moral critic of U.S.
policy but rather a man who suggests there could
be more effective means to world domination at
this time, as he puts it "coping with the threat of
global chaos. "
Klare calls for more "peacekeeping." (as seen in
Somalia), and non-proliferation (what a sur-
prise), justifies the need for population control
with tired Malthusian arguments and calls vaguely
for development. Most importantly, he calls for a
leaner, meaner, slimmed-down version of the U.S.
military, the better to deal with third world
threats.
It seems almost superfluous to point out that
none of this, although classic PAWSS thinking,
qualifies in any way as "peace and/or world securi-
ty." On the contrary, it is an agenda that embraces
the dominant United Stales role in the world.

MEXICO CITY — Members of Mexican opposition political parties are asked to put away their anti-government banners during Mexican

they want to stand amidst the ashes

they intend to be part- time Arabs, or

The Isriielis should seriously decide
who they are, either they are the Arab
descendants of "Bani Israel" or they
are a Western based nation, dying to
impose colonial rule in the stale of

Israelis is that they dishonor the Arab
"Bani Israel" by clainiing to be their
descendants and inheriting' the land of

UM football player
killed in car crash
By Tim White
and AAilce Brown
Collegian Staff
HADLEY — Two players from
the University of Massachusetts
football team were involved in a car
accident last month that claimed the
life of one and injured the other,
jason Leonard, 2 I , of New
Orleans, La,, driver of the car,
was killed in the crash.
Passenge"- |ohn E. Orsak. 21. of
Dublin Ohio, who had injuries to
the head, lungs and spleen, was
transferred to Baystate Medical
Center and released on Aug. 16.
said a hospital spokesperson
According to Chief Dennis
Hukowicz of the Hadley police
department. Leonard and Orsak
were travelling east on Mill Valley
road early morning on |uly 27.
when Leonard allegedly lost con-
trol ol his car. skidded sideways
and overturned several times into
a cornfield. Both occupants were
thrown from the car
Leonard was pronounced dead
at Cooley Dickinson Hospital,
police said.
Hukowicz said the state police
are dtiing a reconstruction of the
accident, which is not complete.
He would not comment if alcohol
was involved! .
Leonard, who transferred from
Los Angeles Valley Community
College as a freshman, had just
made the team as a wide receiv-
er.
According to head coach Mike
Hodges. Orsak. who was a defen-
sive back for the team, has exten-
sive injuries as a result of the acci-
dent that may prevent him from
retuming to football this semester
"His primary injury is his col-
lapsed lungs, so he went without
oxygen for a while." Hodges said.
"He is really defying the odds s*i I
wouldn't count against ]Orsak
retuming to football]."
Hodges said, however, that
Orsak is currently in rehabilitation
and is going to return in January
for the Spring semester. Orsak
will be a junior sports manage-
ment major.
Senior running back and team
captain Rene Ingogiia said many
of the players were close to the
two teammates.
"That is just a terrible thing,
anyone who loses their life that
early, it just isn't fair," Ingogiia
said. "It's just something that you
have to pick-up and move on."
"(Leonard] joined us in January
and he was a fine young man,"
said Hodges, who attended the
funeral in New Orleans. "We real-
ly never had a chance to coach
him much — we have a family
atmosphere and when a member
of your family passes away, it is a
hard thing to deal with."
Leonard joined the football
team because he was close friends
with defensive back Tony
Gugliuzza. "that is the only reason
he came here," Hodges said.
According to Hcxiges, the team
has made no decision* on whether
to wear patches on their uniforms
in memory of Leonard.
Program offers students
help in dealing with grief
By Paul HoyM
Collegian Staff
The University of Massachusetts
offers a program for students who
are faced with someone close to them
dying or battling a serious illness, and
trying to stay in school at the same
time
jethro Lance Heiko is the founder
of REFLECT, (formerly the Grief
Survival Group), a group dedicated
to helping students deal with grief.
According to Heiko. REFLECT
was created after Heiko's father died
of cancer, and he found that he felt
lost and alone at the University.
Heiko's goal was to create a sup-
port mechanism that would help stu-
dents cope with their sorrow and also
keep them in school.
"The group met once a week, and
was run on a drop-in basis. Heiko
turned the meetings over to a facilita-
tor. Brynda Hollon, a graduate stu-
dent in clinical psychology, who will
continue to work for the group this
year.
The group was not given any finan-
cial backing and as a result could not
provide all of the services jethro said
he wanted l<i implement.
Students in grief
Then, a survey conducted last year
by Project Pulse showed one quarter
of 608 students surveyed said that
they, or a friend or relative of theirs,
had suffered an accident or illness
which was life threatening.
One-third of the students surveyed
said a friend or relative of theirs had
died since they began attending
UMass, according to the report.
These students who were affected
by an illness or grief were asked
where they went to find help in cop-
ing with it. Eighty-four percent
resptjnded that they went to friends.
The surveyed students who were
not affected were asked if they would
utilize any of a list of University
resources to deal with grief or an ill-
ness.
Of the respondents. 96 percent
said they would be somewhat or very
likely to go to friends, while only 50
percent said they would be likely to
go to the University Health Services.
When the non-affected students
were asked if they thought any of a
list of possible University services
would be helpful. 75 percent said an
on-going student support group. 84
percent thought an on-going support
group run by a professional and 86
percent thought that professional
counselling would be very or some-
what helpful.
Once the data from this survey was
taken into account, the school decid-
ed to support REFLECT and commit-
ted $5,000 to Ihe group. Heiko said.
The groups financial goal for the
future is to get $1,250 from each of
the other schools in the Five College
System, and set up chapters of
REFLECT on each of their campuses
as well, Heiko said.
He also said the overall financial
goal of the group is to receive
$18,500 in funding, which would
include a stipend for administrative
and personnel expense:..

Prof emeritus loses benefits
By Jacob W. Michaels
Collegian Staff
As a result of an anti-Semitic inci-
dent last semester, a professor emeri-
tus of the math department has
received a letter from the school's
provost, and lost some benefits on
campus.
The action occurred at the end of
last semester, when Professor
Emerita Helen Cullen attempted to
purchase advertising space in The
Massachusetts Daily Collegian.
Cullen wanted to print a letter
which concluded "traditional ludaism
and the lewish identity are offensive
to most human beings and will
always cause trouble between the
lews and the rest of the human race."
The ad was rejected by then-adver-
tising manager, Lisa Tannenbaum,
due to a policy against printing
advertisements targeting a single
person or group of people. When
Tannenbaum. who is Jewish, refused
to print the ad, Cullen demanded to
speak with someone who was not
lewish. The ad was later printed as a
letter to the editor.
Provost Pat Crosson wrote a letter
to Cullen expressing her "dismay at.
and disapproval of, the incident
which occurred in the Collegian
office this past spring."
Cullen also lost certain benefits
available to her. though the
University declined to specify what
the benefits were.
According to Karin Sherbin,
spokesperson at the University News
Office, retired faculty generally receive
privileges allowing them to continue
study in their field of expertise.
In addition, Crosson wrote to the
faculty senate asking them to review
the campus policy on awarding emeri-
tus status. Since 1990, the status was
given to all "honorably retired faculty
members" upon their retirement.
However, lohn Bracey, the secre-
tary of the faculty senate, said the cri-
teria was not the business of the sen-
ate. He said departments recommend
faculty members to become emeritus
when they retire.
(aime Resnick. the University of
Massachusetts Hillel president, said
he was satisfied with the administra-
tion's response.
"It definitely gives me some confi-
dence in the administration that they
are serious about anti-Semitism and
that they are willing to take action
when anti-Semitic incidents occur."

Conference empowers leaders
By Chris Conner
Collagion Staff
Select University of Massachusetts
students were given the opportunity
to attend intensive workshops and
meet with campus luminaries over
the course of a five-day conference.
The 1995 Campus Activities
Leadership Conference, now in its
seventh year, expanded from its for-
mer length of one or two days under
the guidance of head planner M.
Ricardo Townes. vice-<:hancellor for
Campus Activities.
By stretching out the duration of
the event, students were provided
with the chance to engage in more
dialogue and "creative downtime."
according to one of Townes' aides,
Sharon Lang.
"{The conference was) uki short in
the past." Lang said. "It was too
jammed with information."
Townes concurred with Lung,
describ'n? earlier conferences as hav-
ing been "congested."
It was in June, Townes began
developing the leadership activities
for this year. A vital part of the
priKess from the start was to involve
as many students as possible in the
organization of the event, from plan-
ning to pre*entation.
"Il wa* important to have students
involved in all levels of the confer-
ence," he said.
Cambodian Student Association
member Try Sek, was one of the stu-
dents who was integral in the plan-
ning stages.
"This was a collective effort." he
said. "There's a sense of working
together that we lack on this cam-
pus."
Blurring (he lines
According to Townes. he and the
student* on the planning committee
wanted to create an atmosphere
where a large group of students,
ranging from RSO meinbers to area

dents at the opening of last week's Leadership Conference.

government representatives, could
effectively communicate their ideas.
Additionally, the committee sought
to conitorlably assimilate faculty,
administrator* and staff into the
ongoings of Ihe conference, a virtual
ly unheard ol task. Townes said.
"Some people said il couldn't be
done." he said "Obviously we proved
we could,"
From the outset, however. Towne*'
had also *et a per*onal challenge
which delved into the core of
University doctrine
"I tried to implement IChancellor
David K Scott's] guiding principle. "
he said "Blur the lines'"
Towne* *aid he understood the
phrase was wholly open to interpreta-
tion, a factor that intrigued him and
also seemed appropriate for the
intention* of the conference.
"I thought they could coalesce
around a common goal." he said. "Il
was great to have to have the idea
centered around student leadership.
It's an important metaphor for the
campus lonimunity."

described the finished product as a
"round table" of sorts.
"People i.ouId just throw out ideas
amongst ihemselvi-*." he said.
A* a high-ranking SGA official,
Cheeseboro Weaver said he tried to
be especially attentive and open-
minded.
"]The conference] was about find-
ing out what other organizations con-
cern* and need* are." he said.
One *uch organization cited by
Cheeseboro Weaver wa* the
Massuihusetts Daily Collegian,
which ha* had a "tense" relationship
with the SGA recently
"We need to utilize the Collegian
more." he said. "We need to inform
them of what we and the senate arc
doing "
Sek supported Cheeseboro-
Weaver's take on campus relations.
"There are a lot of things you don't
know that other student leaders do."
he said. "We're trying to learn new
things to give to other people."
Many of the workshops were creat-
ed with the intention not only to fos
ter diverse viewpoints, but to inspire
students to "spread their wings and
get to know people." Collegian night
supervisor and columnist Mark
Mil* hell said.
The foci of the workshops ranged
from skill and team building to issues
of diversity, with speakers such as

Campus Center hits
quarter-century mark
By Amy H. Porodysz
Collegian Staff
Twenty -five years after the opening
of the Murray D. Lincoln Campus
Center, the University of
Massachusetts will celebrate the occa-
sion with a symbolic rededication, as
well as a disco, casino night, several
on going live musical and dance pro-
grams and other events.
"In the I9b0s. as the University
expanded and enrollment increased,
the Student Union no longer pro-
vided adequate space for student
functions, and so its expansion
became a necessity," said junior
Melissa Schraga, who was hired to
coordinate the anniversary.
"The 25lh Anniversary of the
Campus Center celebrates
two-and-a-half decades of students
gathering in protest and celebration
for educational, political and social
events." Schraga said.
A retro 70s disco will kick off the
Anniversary celebration on Sept. 14,
from 9:30 a.m. to I a.m. The dance
will be produced by Art Steel of the
Art Steel Blues Band, as well as disc
jockey Billy Arnold III and Robert
Dwelley.
In 1 970, the Campus Center began
opening in pieces, starting with the
Coffee Shop and Barber Shop,
according to Bernard Wilkes,
Associate Director of the Campus
Center.
Since the Campus Center and the
Student Union are so often consid-
ered to be one entity, part of the
Anniversary celebration will take
place in the Student Union — a series
of international music and dance,
beginning with Khmer Music
Awakened, a traditional Cambodian
group. The series will take place
every Tuesday starting Sept. 9 at
12:30 pm.
Non soliciting street musicians will
perform on the concourse every
Wednesday, beginning Sept. 20.
Blues and lazz in the Bluewall. a
program sponsored by University
Productions and Concerts in the
1980s, will resume on alternating
Mondays, starting Sept. 18, from 9
p.m. to midnight.
A casino night held on Oct. 19.
from 7:30 to I a.m.. will benefit
Jessie's House, a Northampton shel-
ter for battered women and chil-
dren.
The UMass Greek community has
volunteered to work thai night, and
the date has been set for the night
before Homecoming Weekend to
make it convenient for Ixjih students
and alumni.
A symbolic rededication ceremony
attended by Chancellor Sctitt is also
planned for Homecoming Weekend,
on Oct. 21 . The ceremony will recog-
nize Campus Center staff and admin-
istrators who have retired in the last
year
Other events being planned for the
Anniversary include a movie night
featuring retro movies and a retro-
spective historical display about the
Campus Center and the man it was
named afier. Murray D. Lincoln.
"It's a lot of hard work." said
Schraga, as she outlined plans for the
Anniversary.
Schraga has experience working
other large events in the area,
including Queer Fest, First Night in
Northampton and Southwest Week,
She is working with a small core
of students — Matt Auger, chair of
the Campus Center / Student Union
Commission, Amy Landry, who
works in personnel and is a member
of the Campus Center / Student
Union Commission and William
Davilia. assistant student coordina-
tor for SCERA and treasurer of
Boricuas Unidos (United Puerto
Ricans.) The group is looking for
more volunteers.
Student organizations will be
asked to get involved in one of three
ways — to become a part of a sub-
committee for a sub-project, to give
a financial contribution to one sub
project or to the project as a whole,
or to place the 25lh Anniversary of
the Campus Center logo on all
posters.
Participating groups will be recog-
nized a CO sponsor in all 25th

Speaker targets chancellor,
republican party at conference
By Juan Jose Chacon Quiros de
Quetzakoari
Collegion Stall
What appeared to be a convention-
al Formal Dinner atmosphere at last
week'> student Leadership
Conference was suddenly shattered
by the frank and incisive remarks of
keynote speaker Charles Merrill.
The dinner was scheduled to bring
together administrators, faculty and
student leaders as the closing of the
conference neared. However, the sen-
sation that appeared to bring them
together the most was the widespread
laughter as Merrill denounced Scott
for denying that UMass is training the
"obedient" mid-level executives of
U.S. corporations.
"When it comes to leadership do
not look to Chancellor Scott as a
role model He is as obsolete as a
I'olish Cavalry men or a panda."
Merrill said as he pointed his finger
to Scott who was seated at the main
table a couple feet from the stand.
He did not relinquish his attack later
adding that "after all IChancellor
Scott 1 comes from an insignificant
island in the Northern Orkneys
which is the most unimportant piece
of geography in the world and he
grew up in a country rotted by
socialism."
Ricardo M. Townes. Vice-
Chancellor for Student Activities,
said he was impressed that Merrill
was a member of the Board of
Trustees at predominately black
Morehouse College in Atlanta.
According to Townes. the speech
itself was brilliant, pointing out "the
Chancellor Scotis of the world repre-
sent a system that is fatally flawed
and needs to change." although he
did not interpret MerrilTs speech as
an attack on Scott. "Don't accept the
way things are today because that's
not the way things have to be.*
Townes said.
The speech entitled "The Paradox
of Democracy" focusc-d on the evils of
the ideology of the state by criticizing
the Nazi regime in Germany, the for-
mer Polish communist state and
today's capitalist system. He then
highlighted the internal problems the
United Stales faced in relation to
equity, race, gender and the environ-
ment though he blamed most of them
on republicans.
"I hate Gingnch. He is a monster. I
hate him. If I could get my hands cm
him I would break his body into little
pieces with iron rots." Merrill said.
"My wife says come on. after all he's
still a human being. No he is not. he
is a monster."
According to Merrill, the Speaker
of the House of Representatives will
die if he achieves greater power.
"He will be driving along the
Heltway in his new Mercedes Benz at
80 mile> an hour when suddenly for
no reason the wheel will come flying
off and he will be killed. Then stupid
liberals like me will dance in the
streets singing .. and meanwhile the
real Republicans will quietly institute
an 18 percent Hat sales tax and elimi
nate welfare." Merrill said as the
crowd, including Chancellor Scott,
offered him a standing ovation.

What Heiko said he hopes to
achieve through this group is "to
ensure support services for the stu-
dents, even after I've left the
University."
This year. REFLECT's different
aspects are "becoming more defined,"
Heiko said.
The new REFLECT
According to Heiko. the group has
a new schedule set up. with new pro-
grams designed to meet a broader
range of needs, expanded in part to
reflect the survey results.
There will be short term groups
lasting for five wcvks each. A limited
number of spaces are available and
attendance is mandatory.
Continuing from last semester will
be the drop-in groups, but there will
be two this semester instead of one.
One is designed for bereaved students,
while the other is for students with a
seriously ill friend or family member.
These groups will meet for ten
weeks and there will be no mandato-
ry attendance.
"Dealing with things that go along
with illnesses is very hard." said Alex
Exicy. whose mother died of cancer
last semester. "It really helped to see
others like me who were going
through the same thing."
The group was one of the reasons
that led to her decision to stay in
school, mainly because it dealt with
the stresses that would have caused
many to drop out. Fxicy said.
"The facilitator was incredible."
Exiey said. "We could talk or listen
when we wanted to and feel comfort-
able doing either."
Heiko hopes to organize a more
aggressive outreach program on cam
pus this year. One group he especially
would like to concentrate on are the
Residential Assistants I R.A.I
In the Project Pulse Survey, only
12 percent of those afftxted by gnef
said they turned to their R.A. and
only 'i5 pereent of those not affected
said they would go to an R.A. if they
were experiencing grief.
"We want people to recognize the
signs of grief and be able to react to it
in a more organized way." Heiko
said. "We're trying to make the com-
munity into a more supportive envi-
ronment "

~ FACULTY & ADMINISTRATION
Profs award boosts chemistry department
By Paul Hayes
Collegtor Stoff
One of ihc newest members of the
University of Massachusetts' chem-
istry department recently received a
competitive research award that no
faculty member has yet received at
UMass.
Out of over 50 nominees. Ricardo
Melz was one of only I 1 recipients of
the 1995 Camilie and Hcnr> Dreyfus
New Faculty Awards The $25,000
Dreyfus Awards are given to new fac-
ulty to help them start their research
and teaching activities in the field of
chemistry.
Professor Metz is the first member
of the University faculty lo receive
the award.
"jThe awards) are a highly selec-
tive program." said Dr Robert
Lichter. Executive Director of the
Camilie and Henry Dreyfus
Foundation. "They are given on the
basis of what promise the nominees
show as scholars and teachers."
One of the criteria for the awards
is the environment in which the nom-
inee will be working. The growth and
promise of the Universities' chem-
istry department played an important
role in his selection. Lichter said.
"IMetz) is the kind of person we're
building the future of the chemistry
deparimeni on." said Lila Gierasch.
Head of the Chemistry Departmeni.
Out of 400 applicants this past
year, only Metz and Scott Auerbach
were chosen to fill positions in the
chemistry department. Gierasch said.
Half of the award money he
receives will go towards funding
research assistance, while the other
half will go towards purchasing diag-
nostic equipment. Metz said.
Professor Metz's research will cen-
ter around the spectroscopy of posi-
tive ions m the gas phase, which he
said should give him new insights
into how catalysts work.
Lichter said the research area that
Metz is working on is considered to
be very imponani. Lichter said.
■According to Metz. possible appli-
cations of this research include
designing better catalysts and helping
to understand bonding in unsaturat-
ed transition metal compounds.
Industries that could benefit from
this research include the pharmaceu-
tical aix) chemical industries. The lat-
ter, such as those converting petrole-
um to plastics, may specifically be
aidcxl. Metz said.
He also said nothing as of yet is
very definite, and will not be until his
research is complete

New department heads, faculty invade University
By Paul Hayes
Coll«gion Staff
Students of the University of Massachusetts will
be encountering many new department heads and
faculty when they return to class this September.
There are over 20 department head changes
occurring this fall, and in addition there have
been 18 new faculty hirings throughout the
University.
"We're a small department." said Shmuel
Bolozky. the new Chair of the judaic and Near
Eastern studies depanment. "We're hoping to recu-
perate our losses at faculty and enlarge our student
base."
Other recently appointed department heads cited
that they had similar goals.
"It's very important for us in these days of
declining funds and resources to become more of a
visible presence on campus." said Virginia Scott,
the new Chair of the Department of Theater.
There are also depanment heads who feel that
the department which they are assuming control of
are doing fine.
'We have no changes planned." said the newly
appointed head of Polymer Science and
Engineering. Richard Farris. "We are very fortu-
nate to have plenty of faculty and great students,"
Recently appointed head of the graduate pro-
gram of nursing. Sally Hardin, also said there were
no changes currently in the works.
Glen Gordon, newly appointed dean of the
College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, does
foresee some changes.
For graduate students of his college, a public
policy track is being planned, possibly leading to
the creation of a separate public policy masters
program. Gordon said.
The undergraduate students were cited by poten-
tial employers as not having enough experience and
not being able to work well with a team. Gordon
said.
He continued that he hopes to focus on an
undergraduate curriculum which will give students
more experience.
Many ot the deptartment heads noted that their
tenure as a department head will last around three
years, although some said they would be around
for a considerably longer time, except for those
named to interim depanment head positions.
"We're doing well, we're on track." said Todd
Fuller, an acting department of the head of
Forestry and Wildlife Management. "We're going
in no new directions at this time."
Said Mark Mount, appointed interim associate
director of the Agricultural Experiment Station. "I
hope to do an excellent job."
New York conference reexamines campus cable system
By Paul Hayes
Collegion Staff
A conference held this past |une
further emphasized the point made
by a University of Massachusetts
administrator that cable television is
becoming a more integral pan of life
on college campuses today.
The third annual Conference on
Campus Cable Television, organized
by University Housing Services Cable
Network iHSCN) manager Laurel
Hellerstein. took place at New York
University from June 25-26. The con-
ference brought together representa-
tives from over 55 universities
nationwide.
In addition to the university repre-
sentatives, vendors from many facets
of the television industry were also in
attendance. Among these vendors
were MT\'. Comedy Central, the
Turner networks and Broad Bend, a
company which produces television
and cable hardware
.Another finding of the conference.
Hellersiein said, is that the University
of Massachusetts is quite advanced in
the area "special interest type pro-
gramming aimed especially at under-
graduates."
Rich Cronin. senior vice president
and general manager of the Nick at
Nile cable network, was the keynote
speaker.
His speech centered around the
idea that "content is king." according
to Hellerstein.

That content, or the quality of
entertainment, will be the driving
force behind the future of new media.
Hellerstein said
As of yet. the HSCN has no plans
to actively change or rearrange its
programming as a result of ideas
exchangc-d at this conference.
The reason for this is that the
HSCN. along with many other
departments at the University, has
been hit by budget cuts.
Due 10 these cuts, it was impossi-
ble for the HSCN to afford the equip-
ment necessary to broadcast cable
channels. Hellerstein said.
However, the HSCN is headed
toward improvement. Hellerstein said
and is currently investigating ways to
increase the channel lineup.
Much of the administration's time
this summer has been spent moving
into vacant office space. The first and
most publicized event is the vacancy
left open in the office of the
University of Massachusetts
President.
Three-year UMass President
Michael K. Hooker stepped down at
the end of last semester to take the
position of chancellor at the
University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill.
Hooker's interim replacement is
Sherry H. Penny, who had been chan-
cellor of UMass-Boston since 1988.
A 20-member search committee
comprised of trustees, students, fac-
ulty, staff and alumni from all UMass
campuses has been assembled to Tmd
someone to fill the vacancy left by
Hooker.
"The appointment of faculty mem-
bers from each campus ensures that
specific campus concerns will be well
represented to the committee and to
prospective caiKlidates.' said UMass
Board Chairman Daniel Taylor. Final
appomtments to the committee were
made by Taylor.
The final six members of the com-
mittee were announced on lune 29.
"The committee is now whole."
said Peter K. Lewenberg. Chair of the
search committee. ".And we can begin
the important work of searching for
the next leader of the university [sys-
tem]."
One name rumored to be under
consideration is that of
Massachusetts Senate President
William Bulger.
Bulger has not conftrmed if he was
being considered.
Associate Vice Chancellor for
University Advancement. |ohn Fuedo.
acknowledged the rumors about
Bulger have been circulating since
early summer, but there has been no
confirmation either way.
"Our office has received several
phone calls about the senate presi-
dent, and they've been mixed,' Fuedo
said.
According to Fuedo. his office had
heard from strong supporters of
Bulger as well as strong detractors,
but that overall the responses have
been more positive.
At the time of Penney "s appoint-
ment she was not being considered to
permanently fill the post That could
change, according to William Wright.
Director of Public Information
Social and Behavioral Sciences
Another major vacancy that has
been filled over the summer is the
Dean of Social and Behavioral
Sciences.
Seymour M. Berger. the outgoing
dean, retired on )une JO. He is being
replaced by Glen Gordon, who had
held the position once before from
1984-1991. The announcement was
made by UMass Provost, Patricia
Crosson.
"I am delighted that Dr. Cordon
has generously agreed to serve ... his
administrative experience will enable
him to assume the deanship with
ease," Crosson said.
Gordon, who's appointment is
for two years, has been a member
of the UMass faculty since 1964
when he started as an assistant pro-
fessor in the political science
department.
"I am very pleased to have the
opportunity to serve the College of
Social and Behavioral Sciences once
again," Gordon said. '1 look forward
to working with my friends and col-
leagues in social science and else-
where."
University Advancement
Also this summer. UMass
Chancellor David K. Scott
announced the appointment of
Royster C. Hedgepeth as the
University's vice chancellor for
University Advancement.
In the post. Hedgepeth will act as a
liaison between UMass and the sur-
rounding community, donors, alum-
ni, the media and the public in gener-
al.
Hedgepeth succeeds Ron Story.
who served as interim vice-chancel-
lor and who will be returning to the
history faculty.
Hedgepeth had previously served
at Marquette University as vice
president for University
Advancement and as special consul-
tant to the president for institution-
al planning. In these positions.
Hedgepeth was responsible for insti-
tuting a comprehensive fund-raising
campaign that eventually earned
Marquette a spot in Money maga-
zine's listing of the lop 100 univer-
sities in the nation.
Hedgepeth said he hopes to simi-
larly increase the money flow into
UMass.
"We need to take the University's
story to the people, to work together
with everyone." Hedgepath said.
"People don't give money because the
University needs money. They give
money because they see the benefits
of the institution."
When asked about the number of
administrative slots filled over the
summer. Barbara Pitoniak a
spokesperson at the UMass news
office, dismissed the notion of an
annual pattern.
According to Pitoniak. it's merely a
coincidence the positions became
open at approximately the same time.
"It's just the way it happened." she
said.

Jewish holidays kick-off semester
By Jacob W.Michaels
Collegian Staff
It has been suid that Icwish holidays always come early
or lute — but ne\ er on time.
This year, the holidays of Rosh Hashana. the lewish
new year, and ^ oni Kippur. the day of atonement, are at
the end of September and start of October.
The holidays come at different times on the common
calendar year because the lewish calendar is based on a
lunar cycle.
Both holidays will be celebrated on campus by Hillel
and Chubad House.
In the meantime, there are many events available for
inlcTv-ied students.
Hillel join^ Alpha F.psilon Phi and Alpha Epsilon Pi in
kicking oil the tall semester with volleyball and a barbe-
cue at Hillel House this Sunday.
On Sept. 14. Hillel is holding their first Israeli Movie
\ighl of the new scniester in the Hillel House lounge The
movie wasn't chosen yet us ot press time.
Three days later students can "Dance through the
Decades" to the music of the bOs, '70s and "SOs at flillel's
annual dance.
"I think that this year Hillel has incredible diversity
when it comes to its programming. " Hillel President laime
Resnick said. "We have everything from social program-
ming to cultural to political and religious programming
and our programming represents the diversity of our
membership. Hillel will continue in the future to try and
reach out to as many different students within the lewish
community and outside of the lewish community as we
can."
Hillel Rabbi Saul Perlmuiter also said he is excited
about the upcoming semester. "I hope it'll go terrific. I
know the ftvus that I'm excited about is to really focus on
the positive, kxjk ahead, and to find ways lo help Jewish
students celebrate the beauty and the joy in being lewish.
and to help build a university community based on respect
and understanding."

Scholarship fund established
Stonewall Center creates aid for QLBT students & studies
By Wendy Darling
CoHegton Staff
Though not yet available, a new University of
Massachusetts scholarship fund may bring relief to gay,
lesbian, bisexual and Iransgender students as well as
Gl.BT studies scholars.
The Stonewall Scholarship Fund was established by
the UMass Stonewall Center over the summer lo pro-
vide money for two purposes.
First, some of the money will go to support GLBT
studies at the University. Initially the money will come
in the form of monetary prizes, which will be granted
to one undergraduate and one graduate student.
Competition for the awards will come through the
submission of scholarly papers in the area of GLBT
studies. Papers will be judged by an inierdisciplinar>'
committee of faculty members.
A second function of the fund will be to serve as a
source of emergenc7 funding for gay. k^bian. bisexual and
transgender students who have been "cut off by their
parents for being honest abimt their sexual orientation.
"Right now we're not putting out any information on
applying because we don't have enough money to start
giving it out yet." Pease said "Hopefully if we gel
enough response ... we'll start to be able to put out
materials and application forms."
The Stonewall Center hopes to raise money through
a fund raising campaign called " 10 for 10."
"We're calling it the 10 for 10 Campaign because
we're hoping people will give $10 because we've been
around for 10 years." said Pease, adding that "any
amount is going to be useful."
Letters will be going out to all University faculty and
staff asking for contributions and there will be a fuT»d
raising banquet in late October. Other interested
donors are asked to contact the Stonewall Center in
Crampton House. Southwest.

^ group from the University of
Massachusetts iv working to ensure
that hazardous wu*le dumping is not
giDwing out ol the industries' con-
tlol
A national study completed by the
Social and Demographic Research
Institute (SAORI) indicates that most
ot the commercial hazardous waste
dumping in the nation occurs in pre
dominanlly while working class
neighborhoods.
Iiiformution gathered by SADRI
.ilso disputed an earlier study by the
L niicd Chuich of ChriNt which had
indisdted that most of the hazardous
wa-.ic dumping occurred within dis-
.idvuntaged minority areas.
'I"he reseurch which lc"d to this con-
clusion concentrated on commercial
hazardous waste disposal companies
Funding came from WMX
Technologies, one of several compa-
nies under pressure from industry
advocacy groups to finance such
studies.
The General Accounting Office in
Washington. DC. named the study
one of the ten most important envi-
ronmental studies in the country
SADRI is currently at work on a
more comprehensive study of com-
mercial hazardous waste disposal,
said research spokesperson and
Director of SADRI Douglas
.Anderton.
The new study will focus more on
industries governed by the
Resource. Conservation and
Recovery Act (ReCRA). Anderton
said. ReCR.A industries are those
which handle one or more of a list
of chemicals.
They outnumber the hazardous
waste facilitii>s by a ratio of 10 to I.
.Anderton said.
.Anderton also noted that the
ReCR.A industries utilize various
means of waste disposal, anuing them
being storing, incinerating, recycling,
and/or injecting the waste deep into
the crust of the earth.
This continuation of the initial
study will last two years, and is fund-
ed by a $260,000 grant from the
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA)
When asked if industries offered
SADRI any resistance while they con-
ducted their research, Anderton said.
"There's always a little, but they real-
ize ihey mu^l accept it. and mo'-t are
accommodating "

ful wiinicii and (.hisfled men milling alxiui taking part in
every sort of childish antic under the hot summer sun. and
of course, tons of cool music to listen to.
Unless you happen to be at the MT\' Bi-ach House this
summer, your \acation was undoubtedly not filled with
any of these things. In laci. if you were an\

MTVs summer started oil priiniiNiii^'
enough, there was the potential of the "Re.i

cutting edge cartoons with MTV's "Oddities." "Aeon
Flux" and as always. "Beavis and But t head "
Let's backtrack and start with "The Real World." which
relocated to jolly old Lngland fi.>r its fourth installment.

This season's recipe mixes three Americans, two Brits, a
German D\. and a New Zealand model into a flat for
(hopefully) months of conflict and romance.
If you ever sat through the first three "Real Worlds"
and said to yourself. "If they ever got real people on this
show it might be more realistic." then this series no doubt
proved you right The problem with this sad

Take a hot peek into the
world of musical events
By Mike Burke
Collegian Staff
The summer is usually a time for
things to slow down, but in the
music industry, it was business as
usual.
The road was not a pleasant
place this summer for America's
biggest bands. Pearl lam and
R.E.M. as both bands were contin-
uously plagued by a series of soap
opera- like problems. R.E.M. suf-
fered more medical problems than
you would see on an episode of
"E.R." as the band had to cancel
tours at least twice.
All is well now and they plan to
return to the area with a show in
Hartford in early October. Keep
your fingers crossed that their
health will be alright. Meanwhile
Pearl |am suffered continuous
problems with ticket agencies and
sickness forcing the band to cancel
most of their American tour.
Comeback of the Sumtner:
Shane MacGowan. Once leader of
the mighty Irish band the Pogiies.
MacGowan was kicked out of the
band four years ago. Since then
many have considered MacGowan
10 be a lost and wasted drunk, but
he has proved his critics wrong.
Backed by his new band the Popes.
MacGowan released an impressive
album entitled The Snake and
toured the U.S. to enthusiastic
crowds.
Rock n' Roll's grand
chameleon. David Bowie, has spent
his summer working overtime. First
he had a lead part in the acclaimed
film Basquiat. where he played the
role of Andy Warhol — a far
stretch from Ziggy Stardust. Don't
worry though. Bowie hasn't forgot-
ten about his musical talents.
Hopefully that will be evident as he
releases a new album entitled
Outside, set for release in
September. To promote the album
Bowie will be co-headlining c tour
with Nine Inch Nails. Should make
for an interesting bill.
Oh Sweet lane! As the fall sea-
son arrives expect an avalanche of
releases of box sets and greatest
hits for the holiday season. The
best of the bunch will surely be the
Velvet Underground's five CD box
set to be released on September 26.
The collection will include 26 pre-
viously unreleased tracks!
After years of waiting. George
Michael is free to record again.
Due to legal debates with his
record label Sony. Michael vowed
never to record another song for
them again. To bail him out. the
Dreamworks SKG label bought
out his contract at the dear price of
$16 million. His new label is
co-owned by the all star cast of
Steven Spielberg. lefferey
Katzenberg and David Geffen.
U2 is back in the studio again
and not surprisingly they are alter-
ing the sound yet another time. The
super-ego's proved that even
though they have been absent from
the airwaves for what seems like an
eternity their popularity is still
going strong considering that there
mediocre single "Hold Me. Thrill
Me. Kiss Me. Kill Me" ruled the
summer. Currently they are record-
ing two new albums. The first, set
for release later this year will be an
all instrumental album produced by
Brian Eno. Following that will be a
more traditional album due out
next year.
Do you want authentic and
accurate predictions on love, happi-
ness and success? If so call LaToya
lackson's new 1- 900 number —
Psychic Network. Costs only $3.99
per minute. Maybe Michael |ack.son
is not the most messed up fackson
after all.
Shine On You Crazy Dollar.
Those greedy British folks, who call
themselves Pink Floyd are back
again to take your money. Their
most recent release Pulse is a two
CD collection of live material from
their last album including a live
rendition of the entire Dark Side of
the Moon album. Their last live
album also contained many of the
same songs. Who possibly needs to
hear what the band sounds like
after it lost Syd Barrett and Roger
Waters, the two ex- members with
an ounce of creativity.
It may have not have been on the
level of the breakup of the Beatles,
but indie rock fans everywhere
were saddened by the break-up of
Small Factory this summer
Turn to MUSIC, page C It
By Laura Stock
Collegian Staff
Compared to the sc.inty hits of the
summer of 94. this summer's relent
less deluge of films was enough to
drown even the most avid uf movie
goers. With an average of three new
releases per week, how did people
decide where to blow their seven
bucks? The local multiplex soon
became an arena in which films
would compete.
To sum up the past three iitonths.
here are some obvious comparisons
as well as some match ups almost as
unlikely as the Mike Tyson vs. Peter
McNeely fight, and how well each
fared in the Ring of IXwm known as
the box office.
BRA VHHEAKT vs. URST KMGIIT
Mel Gibson directed and starred in
the three hour historical epic
Bruvehearl - quite possibly the
best movie of the summer. Gibson
played the 1 3th century Scottish war-
rior William Wallace, who on both a
personiil and a patriotic mission, led
his people in rebellion against the
King of England.
The film was romantic in the
purest essence of the word. Wallace
was a selfless devoted hero lo the
core, who fought for the three things
that mattered in life: his family, his
country and his true love. Gibson
connected with the audience, and
actually made it become devoted to
his cause.
Tile scenery and costumes were so
authentically I 3th century Scottish
you were pulled in from the start.
Most convincing were the intense
battle scenes making yuu cringe with
each brandish of a sword
Chivalrous to the end. Wallace
treated his women with respect, and
Sophie Marceuu daz/led as his royal
love interest.
Bran'hvart was not only thorough-
ly enteriaining. but the most satisfy
ing and emotional cinematic ride of
the summer. It had carefully orches
trati-d suspense, injections of humor
(where appropriate) and an underly
ing love story of the fairy tale type.
The surefire way to judge a movie
is by how it ends The beginning is
crucial, because that is what gets you
in the theater: the middle makes you
stay: but the ending formulates your
permanent opinion and is what pco
pie buzz about when they leave.
Hraivhcarl's ending isn't the least bit
disappointing and a perfect comple-
tion to the powerful film.
First Kntghi fell into the same
medieval, chivalric genre, however in
terms of quality and believability
landed at the opposite end of the
spectrum from Bruwhearl.
This latest version of what has
almost been officially declared the
most retold story in filmdom is defi-
nitely the worst.

Sir Lancelot and Guinevere affair
didn't draw audiences. Sean Connery

THE RAINMAKER
John Gmham
Doubleday
lohn Grishani made himself famous by writing suspense
novels like Thf f'cli(vn Brief. It seemed for a while that
the lawyer turned author was trying his best to create per
feet characters like Mark Sway (The Client) - a street
tough II- year-old that was smarter than the F'BI. the
Mob and even his own lawyer. However. The
Rainmaker's main character Rudy Baylor is stricken with
chronic misfortunes which surprisingly enough nwike him
more three dimensional and realistic than Mark Sway or
any other Grisham hero.
Rudy Baylor is on his way out of law school filling up
remaining credit hours with easy classes such as Legal
Problems of the Elderly more commonly known at the
school as "Geezer Law." Part of his assignment is to go to
a senior center and give free advice to it's patrons At the
center he encounters Miss Birdie Birdsong who wants
Rudy to draft her a new will: he is tempted after seeing
the old will that shows her fortune to be in the excess of
$20 million dollars.
Along with Birdsong. Rudy also meets the Blacks whose
son. Danny Ray is dying of leukemia because an insurance
company won't pay for a bone marrow transplant. The
ambitious graduate researches the Blacks' case and
decides that the family has a legitimate argument against
the company. So. barely out of school. Rudy decides lo
take on the company And if that isn't enough, a side plot

Rosewell Records
Nirvarui is cenainly a tough act to
follow. And the most unlikely success
to have come out of the remains of
the band's bitter end would have
been from ex-drummer Dave Grohl.
Fortunately. Grohl's beats the odds
with his new band, the Foo
Fighters, named after this
countries outdated label
for UFOs.
Although the band
has already evolved to
include ex-
Germ/Nirvana guitarist
Pat Smear and the rhythm sec-
tion from Sunny Day Real Estate,
their self-titled debut is entirely Dave
Grohl. Handling all the musical
duties through 1 2 songs of pure punk
rock, Grohl proves more than compe-
tent as a multi-instrumentalist, dis-
playing his songwriting savvy.
"This is a Call." Foo Fighter's
introduction to the world, is quite a
Pirst statement; a statement that reeks
of undeniable power, pop hooks and
musical mysticism. The rest of thf
album seems to follow along the
same lines. Grohl has obviously taken
as much from his time in Nirvana as
from his hardcore days in the
Washington D.C. band. Scream, to
produce a sound all his ovm.
"Watershed" and "Weenie Beenie*
rush with locomotive quickness,
while songs like "Floaty" and
*X-tatic' paint moody pictures to sit
and ponder over.
While people still use Nirvana and
Kurt Cobain in the same sentence
with the Foo Fighters. Foo Fighters
will undoubtably secure Grohl in the
halls of punk rock, not only for
drumming in perhaps the most

] I , known the
i|/h>.- the odd
important band of the '90$, but also
for his own songwriting, musician-

swallow, their fourth and latest Tales
from the Punchbowl takes their King
Crimson vs. Residents fusion into a
more groove orientated and cohesive
package.
Howevtr, cohesion in Primus' case
has nothing to do with conventional-
ism. From the manic mosh-a-thon
"Professor Nutbutter's House of
Tr«ats" to the tripped out jam of "On
the Tweek Again* to the retarded
hoedown. "Wynona's Big Brown
Beaver." the band's musical irre-
sistibility actually Hnds some middle
ground in making their wacked out
songs slightly tolerable.
Lyrically little has changed. Les
Claypool's twisted Mother Goose
rhymes of hometown El Sobrante.
CA and other irrelevant fictional
characters are still intact. While
"Year of the Parrot" gets serious by
using the parrot as a metaphor for
musical plagiarism, such noble
Fuga/i pleases with their newest release Red Medicirte.

Primus' latest is a collection of inconsistency and same old lyrical antics.
efforts are quickly forgotten with silly
ambiguities like. "Is there heaven, is
there hell? Is that tuna melt I smell?"
The only consistency m Primus'
attack is the inconsistencies they con-
tinue to produce and their unflagging
dedication for adept musicianship
and adventure is just the vehicle for
them to take things further. For now.

Red Medicine
DiKord
Before punk became a part of
mainstream American culture along
side of BeveHy Hills 90210. Fugazi
was the biggest punk band around.
While Green Day was struggling to
fill clubs the size of your donn room.
Fugazi were selling out theaters with
thousands of seats.
Easily Fugazi could have altered
their sound and became the next
buzz band on MT\'. but this is Fugazi
we are talking about — not Bad
Religion.
Red Medicine may not be the
groundbreaking album on the par of
their 1990 release Repeater, but it is
one of the freshest sounding albums
of the year. As Rancid and Offspring
are reliving the late 1970's. Fugazi is
looking straight ahead. From the free
jazz sound of "Version" to the incred-
ibly catchy opener "Do You Like
Me." Red Medicine is filled with
some of the best songs of 1995 that
won't be played on your modem rock
station. B> (Mike Burke)
Michael lackson
History
Epic Records
The King of Pop tries to reclaim
his vacant thmne. usurped by scandal
and speculation with his latest release
double disc album IllStory. Fealuripg
both new and old songs, it is some-
what of a masturbatory compilation
of past jack.son favorites. The album
is a musical monument to a man who
dedicated his life to music, children
and plastic surgery.
Oldies but goodies like 'Beat It."
"Billie jean" and "Thriller" bring
Sack the early flavor of Michael's
ascent to rock n' roll nirvana. While
listening, one calls to mind the '80s
in all it's hideous glory replete in
white gloves and glittering rhinestone
covered leather jackets that moon-
walked in pre-teen's heads. Hearing
the "Beginning* tracks you realize
that before the hype and the oxygen
tanks there was (and still is) a real
musician striving tor perfection.
The "Continues" tracks are good,
but overly polished and message
ladened. "Scream" has that dacicey
cutting edge feeling that makes you
wonder if i)m joul purpose for the
song was to lash out at his lack of
privacy (it was). In fact the whole set
of "Continues" songs like
"Childhood" and "You Are Not
Alone" seem to be lackson's only way
to convince people that he has been
wronged by the wot Id.

Bad Brains, X revive
punk for new generation
By Wayken Show
Collegian Staff
While the last two years have
brought a sort of redefined punk
rock into the average American
household, this summer saw the
return of several pioneering punk
stalwarts back into the music
scene.
L.A.'s Circle Jerks broke out of
retirement to seemingly cash in on
this wave of popularity. On their
newest album. Oddities.
Abnormalities and Curiosities
(Mercury), original members Keith
Morris and Greg Heston. once
again hook up with Zander
Schkws and Keith Clark (the same
line-up from the band's
Wonderful and Vi records) to pro-
duce some old fashioned power
punk.
Not only have the Circle lerks
influenced much of southern
California punk today, but each
member's resume reads like a
Who's Who in punk rock.
Oddities is filled with strong
songs (thanks in part to Schloss)
that, like their previous efforts, are
thoughtful and powerful — the
way punk was meant to be. With
hard hitting originals like "Teenage
Electric" and "Fable." along with a
pretty decent cover of the Soft
Boys' "I Want to Destroy You."
the Circle jerks seem ready to see
the limelight like many of the
bands they influenced.
Bad Brains seem lu have suc-
cessfully rebounded from a disap-
pointing comeback in 1995 with a
new album. God of Love
(Maverick). These rasta-core
punkers from Washington D.C.
reclaim much of their spirit and
credibility with the return of
drummer Earl Hudson and his
brother/vocalist H.R.. completing
the band's original lineup. Also
reunited with the band is produc-
er and ex-Cars frontman Ric
Ocasek. who produced their 1985
classic Rock For Light.
"Cool Mountaineer" flirts with
radical lime changes to reach
hardcore heaven, while "Tounge
Tee Tie" is all riff to absorb.
Moving with the times has also
given their reggae a more
Caribbean dancehall feel ("Long
Time"). Bad Brains' return to
form may just be the dawning of a
new period in the band's already
significant life.
X's major affinity with punk
rock today is with the "do-
it-yourseir ideology. Released on
their own new label. Infidelity
Records. Unclogged revitalizes
old X songs (in mostly acoustic
form) recorded live in San
Francisco in late "94.
Going through their extensive
recorded works from 1 980's sem-
inal Los Angeles to 1993"s Hey
Zeus. X strips their songs bare to
showcase their highly overlooked
songwriting savvy. "Because I
Do" is slowed way down to trans-
form itself from punk to indige-
nous rock n' roll, while "Burning
House of Love" shows its uiKler-
lying country stylings.
While the world has seen a
country, acoustic X in the form of
the Knitter. (X with Blaster Dave
Alvin. minus Billy Zoom)
Unclogged clearly shows the
magic of X.
Call it carreerism. Call it what
you want. But these bands are the
real deal and may wake up the
younger generations as to what
punk was. and still is all about.

Service , music upgraded at Iron Horse
By Tara MK Connelly
Collegian Staff
The nimors had been confirmed: The Iron Horse
Music Hall, one of Northampton's oldest and respect-
ed music venues, would be shutting its doors forever
on lune 4 due to financial difficulties.
The iron Horse was established in 1979 as a 60-seat
coffee house. There, local
musicians subsidized
their show by passing the
hat after each perfor-
mance. Word of the
venue's talent grew and
even traveled all the way
to Europe where the
London Times called it
one of the ten best clubs
in America.
Now it seemed as if the
hallowed hall would
house talent no longer.
Fortunately. Holyoke
businessman Eric Suher
took up the cause and
was able to accumulate
enough funds to re-open
Northampton's musical
Mecca. Suher runs a
small printing and appar-
el company in Holyoke
and was the 1994 recipi-
ent of the Massachusetts
Young Entrepreneur
Award. The 50-year-old
graduate from Deerfield
Academy decided to pur-
sue a career in the business
world after graduation.
either a restaurant/sports bar or a retail store.' he said.
"I thought it was too important an establishment to be
turned into just another restaurant.'
The new owner want to "bring things back to the
way they were" with quality world class entertainment
and a great club atmosphere.
"Things have been a little rushed,' he said. 'We had
to wait two weeks for the liquor license to be changed
in the State Department
and until it did there
wasn't anything we could
really do."
No major changes will
be done to the interior or
exterior of the club,
although a new kitchen
and bar will be added,
according to Suher.
"I want to keep the
audience in touch with
the performers," said
Suher. "I am going to add
some more standing room
at the bar, but almost all
of the 1,700 are really
close to the stage. In
some places you can even
touch the performer."
In addition to renovat-
ing the kitchen, Suher
hired Martin Cartrera. a
chef from La
Veracruzana, to run
things. The menu will be
limited at first but will
expand once things have
gotten underway accord-
couatiiY o» DAVID MiawAiDi ing to Suher.
Luther "Guitar junior" Johnson will play the newly -|i will be a terrific
"Things have been going reopened Iron Horse Sept. 8. menu." he said. "It will be
pretty smooth.' said Suher.
"It's just been a lot of work and not a lot of time to get
things together with the place opening up next week."
Suher found out about the Iron Horse's financial sit-
uation when rumors arose in January.
"The club was going to be closed and turned into
mostly club food though —
fast, easy finger food. We want to concentrate on the
music, but we will have a good beer selection on tap
and some good microbrews."

Sexy Streamline suits in checkered fabncs keep the Fall winds at bay with style and timeless class.
Sweaters, slim suits keep Fall chills at bay
By Tora MK Connelly
Collegian Staff
There i> rjothing like the feeling of Fall.
This year the fa.shiun industry is drawing from one of
the most basic of fabrii-s to create a barrage of new styles
with old world flavor for the upcoming days of foliage —
WtXjI.
In various weights and weaves, wool seems to be the
weapon of choice as designers battle to keep the chilly air
at bay. Vest.s. jackets and skirts have been created to look
warm and stylish. Pleats, tucks and folds accentuate ihe
drape and line of the skirt which are aline in shape or
wrapped around the hips in kilt -like style.
Nothing is overly new and everything reeks of class.
Retro is out and the suit is a perfect example of simplicity
at it's best jackets are more fitted and hip length, but
both styles focus on the shape of the body. Fitted or
cropped these office staples can be combined with a skirt
of varying length or slim pants a la Hepburn Ralph
Lauren and Versace both use a black and white checkered
fabric to pull off a look of refinement and sophistication.
Another staple that seems to have emerged from the
closet is the sleeveless dress. Sandra Bullock was seen
sporting this style at the MTV Movie Awards and Meg
Ryan was captured in a ^imilar sheath of white silk. This
versatile gamient can be cut and sewed to please the most
modest to the most daring depending upon length and
fabric. Case in point: Anne Klein, known for her minimal-
ist style, created a wool and cashmere number by Patrick
Robertson that is both demure and knowing.
The shoe c>f the moment is a low heeled pump or sling
back that calls to mind lady like grace — more serviceable
than an stilette and defiantly more practical. Shiny patent
leather and faux alligator and crocodile are used to create

modem versions of an ageless style. Also following in the
lines of classic luxury are handbags, belts and backpacks.
Nothing keeps you cozier than a good sweater and hot
apple cider. Sweaters range from short and cropped in
wool and cotton lii heavy and bulky Almost all of them
kK)k a^ it they were created in Switzerland or Norway and
call to mind a certain alpine flavor. Pair it with a wool
shirt and you lo<.)k like a Von Trapp family singer crossing
the Austrian boarder
.A^ mentioned before ^lim pant- are in \ogue and often
matched with short vests, cropped sweaters and short
Kx.!!^ Legs are also kept wami with ihigh high cable knit
and opaque tights in a myriad of colors. Ol course those
who want to go the extra mile (and have the legs for it)
can pull on u pair of go go bcKits.
The camel haired coat in trapeze style, long and short
versions haxe been added to collection by TSF and
DKN^'. Belted or cinched, the camel hairc-d coat can also
be paired with a shawl like collar or double breasted with
side pockets and a silk scarf With proper exptisure and
the right celebrity they could replace the trench coat rage
that Sharon Stone ignited.
However, not all designer^ are bent on making every-
one look like a New hngland preppies, sd some have stuck
to the retro thing and feature shimmering ^uils in irides-
cent satin like Bill Blass or blinding fliK)r lengths sheaths
in gold checked lame like Todd Uldhani.
Much to the dismay of man>. leopard print is also a way
to express yourself and has been incorporated into boots,
jackets, skirts and suits. Leather and (gulp) western wear
also reared their heads at Nicole Miller and Donna Karan
(although the odds of either look going to the mass mar-
ket iN highly improbable.) Thank God for NUiall miracles
and the lact that it will soon be too cold for people to
wear designer jellies.
For many people summer calls to mind cramming
into a car filled with your friends and driving about
aimlessly listening to the radio and creating memories.
Here is a sample of summertime tunes Collegian staff
reluctantly liked and thoroughly disliked.
Tara MK Connelly
Arti & Living Editor
Guilty Pleasure; The Real McCoy/ "Another Night"
and Diana King/ "Shy Guy." — They're the perfect
dance- around-your-room-when no one's looking
songs.
Purely Annoying: The Rembrandts/ "I'll Be There
For You" because they are — literally. 24/7 every time
you turn on the damn radio or MTV. Get a new song,
no better yet, retire.
Mike MacLean
Arfi & Living Slacker
C.P.: Skee-Lo/ "I Wish" — This one gets my vole
mainly because of the video, but also due to its appeal
to vertically challenged people everywhere.
P.A.: Silverchair/ "Tomorrow" — I think these guys
used to be called StonePearlAliceJam. but I'm not posi-
tive.
Matt Audette
Arts & Living Indie Boy
C.P.: The Toadies/ "Possum Kingdom" — Stupid
song, great riff. Sort of an unholy mutation of Ronnie
lames Dio and Nirvana — and we all know what a
great thing that is.
P.A.: Soul Asylum/ "Misery" — I know that Dave
Pirner is sitting somewhere thinking that this junior
high tearjerker is really deep Sorry, try really dumb.
Chris Conner
News Editor
C.P.: Blessed Union of Souls/ "I Believe" — There is
no psychotherapist in the world who can possibly
explain this pick. Maybe love is the answer.
P.A.: Soul Asylum/ "Misery" — Once again. Dave
and crew have proved that they are indeed the asylum
for soul, and they are not letting any out in the near
future. (1 can I believe I just agreed with Indie Boy on
music.)
Matt Vautour
Sports ilown/Hoolie Fan despite ifhat ewryone below
me thinks
C.P.: Annie Lennox/ "No More I Love Yous" — I
would usually prefer dental surgery to listening to
.Annie Lennox, but I even bought the single to this one.

vision, music, concerts,

Everyone wants to stand out in a crowd and what
better a way to do it than in an eye catching satin suit.
( OlOTtSV KWAKU AISTON
The Queen of Nasty, Adina Howard, makes the
hot summer hit list.
P. A.: Collective Soul/ "December" — This song
belongs back with the cheesy rock of the late "SOs and
early 'SOs. File this one right up with Winger and
White Lkmi,
Marni E. Helfner
Editorial Production Manager ... again
G.P.: Annie Lennox's cover of Procol Harum's
"Whiter Shade of Pale" — Almost as good as the origi-
nal, it's a great tune to drink to when you're stuck in a
town with fewer people than Southwest.
P.A.: Vanessa Williams/ "Colors of the Wind" —
Besides the fact that I banned Pocahontas this summer
for political reasons, every woman underage of 50
thinks that it's the most romantic song to hit the air-
waves since "Everything I Do" by Brian Adams. Every
time I hear it, it sends me into violent spasms, causing
me to have a car accident.
Candice Flemming
Sports Editor
C.P.: I'm not ashamed of anything I listen to. I can
freely admit to singing along with my Beauty and the
Beast soundtrack and dancing to ABBA's box set. I
have no shame.
P.A.: Michael lackson/ "You are Not Alone." —
This song is absolutely horrible and the video makes it
even worse. Why in the world lackson thinks he has
the right to show off his txjdy is beyond me. and what
are Michael and Lisa Marie trying to prove anyway?
Geri Sahn
Editorial/Opinion Editor
G.P.: Adina Howard/ "Freak Like Me." — The
woman rocks Although I'm not into R&B. I'm a closet
Adina fan.
P.A,: Hootie and The Blowfish/ "I Only Want to be
with \vu." (Actually, every Hootie song.) — I just do
not understand why a dolphin makes him cry.
Whatever. Hootie — blow ii out your ass,
Mike Burke
Arts & Living Music Editor
C.P.: Alanis Morrissette/ "You Oughtia Know" —
One hit wonder? Probably — but the girl knows how
to scream.
P. A.: Everything by Hootie and the Blowfish.

ing this CD.

It is one thing to use music as a
means of communications, but at
times laclcson confused means with
manipulation. Do we really need the
52 page guide book of his numerous
awards, meetings with famous people
and facial transformations over the
years? Sometimes it just makes you

Wholesale Meats and Pish
Letters To Ceo
Giant Records
Will the real Letters to Cleo please
step forward? No, not the one that
sounds like Sonic Youth, and not the
one that sounds like Soul Asylum or
even '80s rock. How about the one
that churned out some sugary sweet
college pop music on their debut
album a few years back?
Yet it becomes disappointingly
clear on the Boston quintet's second
effort. Wholesale Meals and Fish.
that there is an identity crisis gojng
on here.
The gems on this album are not
hard to find; for the most pan they
are all grouped on the first side.
"Demon Rock," "Fast Way" and
"Jennifer," although a little on the
guitar- god side, are bearable, boun-
cy songs. The first single. "Awake." is
certainly one of the best pop songs to
come down the pipe in i while.
Kay Hanley's vocals blend well,
but why they bothered printing up
such deep statements as "Ten thou-
sand years have passed/and it don't
matter much to him/that ten thou-
sand years have passed before"
("He's Got An Answer") is a mys-
tery.
Continuity can be a good thing,
unfortunately it becomes unclear
after the first four tracks just where
this album is heading. Were the
opening tracks outtakes from earlier
days or did the band discover the
concept of musical influences
halfway through the recording ses-
sion?
The answer is not forthcoming,
and Hantey and Co. delve into realms
that conjure up images of such bands
as Sonic Youth on "Do What You
Want. Yeah." The Beautiful South
with "Little Rosa* and an abundance
of songs that teeter on the edge
between pop and anthem rock that
make one feel like they arc trying to
catch a leaf in the wind.
If "Awake" can manage to achieve
the success that "Here and Now"
earned last year, the real Letters to
Cleo may still get a chance to arise on
a third effort. C (Mike MacLean)

What has happened to the indie
rock world? |ust a year ago the only
place you could hear the music of
bands like Slint or Daniel lohnston
was on obscure college radio stations
— now you can stroll down to your
local mail and here their music at the
movies. Times have certainly
changed.
Kids was one of the most contro-
versial movies of the summer and
the soundtrack has gained much
attention for its radical lineup featur-
ing underground heroes Slint. Daniel
lohnston and the Folk Implosion.
Starring Lou Barlow. Weslfield
native and leader of Sebadoh. the
Folk Implosion is the showcase band
on the soundtrack with eight songs
and their song "Nothing Gonna
Stop" is a standout track. The tune is

who is known lor his low-fi. intro-
spective songs. Largely due to the
hip- hop drum beats the song's
funky edge sounds nothing like
Barlow's previous work with
Sebadoh.
The other highlights of the album
are all older songs that have been
released before. Taken from their
groundbreaking album Spiderland.
Stint's contribution "Good Morning
Captain' is a haunting and chilling
tune reminiscent of EVOL era Sonic
Youth. Slim are one of the most
influential bands of the decade and
this song vWll surely prove why.
Low-fi legend Daniel lohnston
sings the two catchiest songs on the
album. "Casper" and "Casper the
Friendly Ghost." Both recorded on a
four track they display the crafty
songwriting skills that has earned
him a cult following over the past
decade.
For dedicated indie rock fans the
album may be a bit of a disappoint-
ment due lo the fact that several of
the songs are old. But on the other
hand this album could open musical
doors lor many who had never heard
any of these amazing bands before. B

and some good microbrews."
Suher hopes to connect with
college scene in the Valley.
According to him many students
know about the Iron Horse but
don't "cross the bridge" that
often.
"One of my goals is to gel the
student populous back. People
know about this place but don't
come out. I want to tap into that
populous by having "college
nights" where there will be dis-
counts on beer — because who
wants lo pay $4 a beer?"
Some of the musical acts that
have been scheduled to draw in
the crowd is |. Mascis. Scud
Mountain Boys. Soup and Cake.
Suher also intends to have nights
where college bands can come
and play.
Suher attributes the Iron
Horse's previous financial duress
lo "poor service and bad book
ing."
"They didn't understand the
business." he said. "The service
killed them. I mean you sal down
and it was a half hour before you
got served. It really was a combi
nation of poor service and book-
ing. Hopefully I will rectify that, it
might take a while, but I'm willing
to try."
Suher has hired Lisa Danforth
from ihp University of
Massachusetts' Theater
Depanmeni to run publicity and
jordi Heroldson. the club's origi
nal owner, has been hired to book
bands.
"I expect Ihe first week lo be
sold out." said Suher. "Wc have
Arlo Guthrie for the first two
nights and Debbie Harry from
Blondie is louring with her lounge
act. Plus, there is going to be a
great jazz series as well."
'I'm going to try hard lo keep
the place going and I think it is
going to do well. It really depends
upon the community and I think
it's just too much of an important
place to close." he said.
The Iron Horse Music Hall is
located on Center Street in
Northampton It will reopen

SHOWCIRLS
What can the director ot
Baaic Instinct possibly do to top
Sharon Stone's ah. perfor-
mance'.' How about launching
good girl Elizabeth Berkley
from the wholesome TV show
"Saved By The Bell" into a
world of bad lighting, lecherous
men and pulsating music.'
That's right, lesse has gone
from feminist to stripper in this
film about topless dancers and
the complex life they often lead.
Originally Madonna wanted Berkeley's role, but Paul
Verhoeven wanted someone more um. free with herself
(and that wasn't Madonna'.').
The director is getting a NC-17 rating but hopes that it
doesn't deter people from going to the theater and seeing
beyond it's rating. Somehow it doesn't seem like hell
have to worry about packing ihcni in (T.M.K.C.)
POUR ROOMS
What do you get when you mix four upbeat and quirky
directors together in one movie with overlapping story
lines all conncvted by Tim Roth?
How about Four Rooms? Thai's right, four of the
industry's hottest young directors have teamed up to
direct four entirely different story lines set in a hotel. Each
of the stories will be interconnected by one character — a
bell boy. The idea was inspired much in the same way that
Shelley's Frankenstein and Stoker's Draeulu was — just a
bunch of directors/writers in a hotel rcKim hanging out.
Originally. Richard Linklater was slated to be a fifth
room but he stepped out. The star studded cast includes
Bruce Willis. Antonio Banderas. lennifer Beals and
Madonna. It only took $5 million to make it. but the word
is it's worth every pc-nny and more (T M KC.)
NOW AND THEN
Already labeled a "woman's film." director Linka
Clatter brings together a group of eight female actresses
to share the screen in a tale about young women's coming
of age.
The movie features Demi Moore. Rita Wilson. Mela.iie
Griffith and Rosie O'Donnell and their "then" counter
parts Gaby Hoffmann. Christian Ricci. Thora Birch and
Asleigh Aston Moore The plot will focus mostly on the
"now" aspect of the four woman's life with the younger
versions shown as flashbacks and ways of understandinc
life (T M K C )
MIQHTY APHRODITE
Woody Allen hopes to hit another homerun with his lat
est starring him. Helena Bonham Carter. Mira Sorvino
and Michael Rappaport.
Like Husbands and Wives, this film also centers around
the complex problems of married life however Allen's PR

nothing.
Among those from Europe were
Sharon, the British gal with the affin-
ity — no, the obsession for cleanli-
ness (toilet shields anyone?), Lars,
the German (who was about as per-
sonable as Lurch from "The Addams
Family") who came and went and
didn't speak up rquch until his bike
was stolen and Neil, the British pseu-
do punker whose personality was
completely opposite his hairstyle The
odd person out seemed to be lacinda.
the model from New Zealand who
bought the catalyst behind most of
the conflict — the dog.
Yes. the dog. whose refusal to
relieve himself anywhere but inside
the house turned out to be the most
interesting event of the whole sum-
mer, besides the phone bill incident.
You see, MTV, in its infinite wisdom
failed to inform the British phone
company that seven non-descript yet
subtly annoying kids, five of whom
were from out of the country, were
moving in and just might want to call
home. So of course, the phone offi-
cials freaked at the sight of a £500
phone bill and pulled the plug, there-
by putting most of the housemates'
apathy in full gear (save Mike, who
did a lot of complaining about
responsibility and Jay who chipped in
for the wallet-impaired women).
The "Real Worid IV" opened our
eyes to a disturbing fact: people who
are too real are just too boring for
TV. Bring back Puck or better yet
watch "Melrose Place."
The real "Real Worid" turned out
to be on 'Road Rules," the show that
answered the not-so-age-old ques-
tion: "W^t would happen if you f)ut
five non-descript yet annoying kids
in a camper, gave them money and
told them where to go and what to
do once they got there?"
The answer seemed to be that the
events would be semi- hip and interest-
ing, but that the real actbn would take
place in the camper. "Road Rules" had
everything, it had conflict, it had ten-
sion and it h; d . . . well, driving.
Hopefully i..e MTV programmers
are taking notes, and next year we'll
have the best concept ever — twice
as many kids (including the return of
Puck) in the same size camper.
Maybe we'll even get to see a few
indictments.
On the more refreshing side were
the cartoons. The second part in the
"MTV's Oddities" series was "The
Maxx," an escape into the mind of
"superhero "/homeless guy Maxx ...
or was it |ulic? Well, whatever the
case, "The Maxx" was never afraid to
let you get comfortable with a point
of view and then yank it away the
moment you got too acclimated.
"Aeon Flux," reborn from the
'Liquid Television" series that aired a
few years ago is still in its first weeks
but looks promising — if the idea of
a leather-clad woman single handed-
ly causing chaos and the inevitable
addition of dialogue can be over-
come.
Saving the best for last (best to
make fun of anyway), no MTV
review would be complete without
giving "Singled Out" a few remarks.
A '^Os version of "The Dating
Game," "Singled Out" provided ample
motivation for anyone needing to go
to bed early. This show groups even
more non-descript and greatly annoy-
ing kids into materialistic categories
and are then eliminated to uiKler ten.
Then comes the tough part.
We then get to meet all the final-
ists and watch them use all ten of
their brain cells to come up with
tricky metaphors for "sexing you up."
Then it's on to some sort of gross or
embarrassing request so that they
might be deemed worthy enough to
date someone who choose them on
the basis of their chest hair.
Did you miss any of this fantastic
action on MTV this summer? Well
fret not. The replays will keep the win-
ter warm until you can start counting
the days until Spring Break "%.

Parents in denial may have a
valid point — Clark does go over-
board in the visual department.
The sex scenes are so long and dif-
ficult to watch (yet. equally diffi-
cult to look away from) that they
borderline pornography, or rather
pedophilia. The point in all of the
close shots — the beads of sweat,
the kisses dripping with saliva, is
to make us squirm in our seats,
have our jaws drop and not blink
our eyes.
However, shock value doesn't
necessarily make for reality. Does
Clark really think girls are so stu-
pid as to fall prey to boys like
Telly (Leo Fitzpatrick) who is on a
quest to deflower every virgin he
meets because they are "so young
and innocent and clean,' with his
pathetic pick up lines and empty
promises. Granted, these giris are
14 and 15 years- old. but what
self-respecting girl would want to
lose her virginity to an ugly, wiry
skateboarder who needs braces
and talks like he already has a
mouthful of them? He vows, "it
will be great, you'll love it. Trust
me."
After cringing listening to
Telly's routine, we want to scream
when they all ask. "do you care
about me?" to get proof positive
of his love for them.
One girl changes our opinion of
Clark. It is her character alone
that provides the movie plotline's
existence, lennie. played expertly
by Chlocy Svigny. had her virgini-
ty stolen by Telly a year ago. He
was the only person she slept with
and only got tested in an act of
moral support for her promiscu-
ous friend. It is tough to accept,
but it is the fear (hopefully) that
resides in most teenagers' minds:
"What if. in just this one lime. /
could gel HI. v.?" when we hear
the result of Jennie's test.
lennie spends the entire
24-hour span of the movie search-
ing for Telly to tell him of her test
results. It accumulates into a slow,
dramatic climax rather than a
series of surprising events. It is
unfortunate, that Clark neglects
this brave and tragic character's
story. Instead we must see long,
drawn out Telly and Casper
episodes that amount to nothing
more than drinking and boasting.
Kids is a film with a very strong
message: drastic changes must
occur in the what we teach kids
and the way kids act or society
will self destruct. It is an explosive
topic in homes and the media
today, and Clark is holding the
detonator. A-

MIRROR BAU
Netl Young
Reprise Records
Neil Young is pretty shrewd. While
his other '60s partners in crime are
sentenced to a hellish existence of
reunion tours, boring drug habits and
embarrassing attempts at comebacks.
Young is hanging with the young-
sters, embracing grunge and acting as
father figure to flannel-clad posers
everywhere.
So what's the deal?
Why is this 50-year old hippie still
thriving after all these years? The
answer is actually quite simple —
Young just simply refuses to age
gracefully. Don't be fooled, the man
is not breaking any new musical bar-
riers. His three-chord rave- ups and
sappy child-of-the-'bOs ballads
would still sound absolutely right at
home on one of those dopey "Sounds
Of The Seventies" collections.
Young's secret is just that he refuses
to dwell on the past, opting instead
to roll with the changing times rather
than be crushed by them.
By dedicating his last effort Sleeps
With Angels to the late Kurt Cobain
and taking such avani-gardists as
Sonic Youth on tour with him.
Young is proving that he's no old
fart. That is why having grunge
mega-stars Pearl |am back him up on
his latest effort. Mirror Ball is such a
brilliant career move.
Think about it — Peari lam's sta-
dium rock disguised as thoughtful
and artistic punk shtick is a pretty
close kin to what Young has been
doing for years. The pair are a perfect
match of young and old and neither
really have to alter their sound a
whole lot in order to sound cohesive
together.

So. is Mirror Ball the ground
breaking achievement that everyone
expected when rumors that these two
great talents were going to collabo-
rate? Not at all. Is it pretty good?
You bet. Young still knows how to
pull a ton of mileage out of three
chords, toss in a lot of feedback and
some self- conscious sloppiness and
— i'oi7a — instant geezer grunge for
the '905.
Yes. there are some missteps like
the dopey flower power anthem
"Peace And Love," which is also the
only song in which Eddie Vedder
makes any vocal appearance on.
"Downtown" finds Young getting all
worked up over a simple riff and
some pipe dreams that deal with the
ultimate hippie party ("jimi's playing
in the back room/Led Zeppelin on
stage" — blah. blah. blah). Still every
once in awhile Young can find that
certain groove which makes all his
nostalgic references a little easier to
swallow.
On "I'm The Ocean" Young gives
himself a knowing pat orv the back
when he proclaims "People my
age/They don't do the things I do"
and mid-way through his fiery and
passionate delivery it is not to hard to
believe him. On the albums opener
"Song X" (I'm going to give him the
benefit of the doubt and hope the
title doesn't refer to some dumb gen-
erational thing) Young tosses off a
nearly perfect Crazy Horse-esque
romp that would sound just fine
somewhere in the middle of Rust
Nex'er Sleeps.
Where does this leave Pearl )am?
Due to contractual problems the
band's name doesn't even appear
anywhere on the album and it's
probably a good thing since some
disgruntled |am-head would proba-
bly sue for false advertising if it did.
The lads in Pearl jam clearly know
that Mirror Ball is Young's show and
discreetly hide in the background,
content to fulfill a life long dream
and do their best Crazy Horse imita-
tion while Young cashes in on their

Grateful Dead frontman dies at 53
By Michael Burke

Alan Rath's 'Super Wallflower" is a collage of aluminum, cable, electronics and speakers. It is just one of
the many works in In Vivo at the University Gallery- a collection based on artists' connection with nature
and landscapes.
The long strange trip has finally ended for Deadheads
across the nation this summer as their leader lerry Garcia
passed away on August 9 For over 30 years Garcia was a
member of the Grateful Dead, one of the most popuhir
American bands of all time.
The band was never a Top 40
ensemble, they had less Top 40 hits
in 50 years than Hootie and the
Blowfish had this summer, but
Deadheads never wasted time count-
ing record sales, because many of
them were loo busy following the
band around the country. Besides all
those Elvis fanatics who run around
looking for the King in 7 ll's. not
many people dedicate their lives to
one artist or band — but that is the
following the Grateful Dead and
lerry Garcia had.
Musically the Dead's sound was a
mixture of folk. jazz. rock, blues
and lots more. There is no signature
Dead tune or Dead sound — they
had no "Stairway To Heaven." Improvisation was also a
key to the their music and they seldom played the same
version of the same song twice. In concert ihey were
notorious for playing completely different sets everv
night — and with 28 albums the band had quite a few
songs to choose from.
But there was much to the Grateful Dead and lerry
Garcia than just the music Their popularity spanned all

politicians such as Governor Weld to high school
drop-Hjuts. cried themselves to sleep on August 4 as they
mourned the death of their beloved leader Weld even
wrote an article for the The Boston Globe discussing
Garcia's significance.
Although he had just turned 53, Garcia's notorious
lifestyle filled with drugs and fast food had taken the final
loll In 1986 he suffered a diabetic
coma so .severe that doctors didn't
e.xpect him to live. After he recov-
ered he had to relearn how to play
guitar all over again. Ironically since
then the band's popularity has
soared.
Six years later in 1992. Garcia
collapsed due to exhaustion and at
the same time was suffering badly
due to his weight problem But like a
warrior he returned to form and
toured again including several sold
out shows at the Boston Garden last
Fall. Sadly the band was scheduled
to reappear at the Garden once more
before its closure, but those dates
have been cancelled.
Gania s last days were spent in the
Betty Ford Clinic in a rehabilitation program. He passed
away early in the morning of August 9 due to natural causes
The next day Deadheads across the world mourned his
death On the sidewalk outside Tower Records in Boston,

And in the end that is what makes
Mirror Ball tolerable. Young is clearly
feeding off a whole new generation to
add new life to his somewhat stale
musical ideas — but like some kind
of old vintage automobile that refuses
to die. he keeps sputtering along with
enough enthusiasm and energy to
keep from being junked. B

involving a battered housewife
named Kelly is thrown in for good
measure.
The Rainmaker signals Grisham's
return to courtroom drama, a venue
he has not touched since his first
novel A Time To Kill. The dialogue is
surprisingly sharp and often cynical.
Unlike his previous novels, this one is
witty and at many times clever.
However, while the battered house-
wife story is touching, the book could
have been done without it's extrane-
ous plot line. These are the moments
where the writing sags and the struc
ture is clumsy, but overall Grisham
proves himself an effective storyteller
and has spun a complex tale that
takes us to the hean of all motivation
— money. A (Seema Gangatirkar)
BORDER MUSIC
Robert James Walker
Warner Books
Robert lames Walker's first novel.
The Bridges of Madison County, is a
sticky sweet prose laden novel that
somehow grabbed a hold of
America's heart strings via Meryl
Streep and Clint Eastwood. While
Bridges tastes like melting cotton
candy — sweet and airy. Walker's
latest novel. Border Music, is cool
and bittersweet like lemonade.
Like Bridges, the novel contains
the same sort of mind- numbing
spontaneity that is most bewildering.
This novel is about the reconciliation
of the dreams of the heart and the
fears of the soil and the grim realiza-
tion that the two can be irreconcil-
able.
The plot revolves around Texan
lack Carmine and Linda Lobo. two
drifters trying to make the most of
what life ha- 'ossed at them. The pair
meet al a bar v, .lere Linda works as a
dancer. After lack assaults a man for
getting fresh with Linda, she turns in
her tassels, runs out the back door
and hops into lack's truck. Along the
way to nowhere lack offers Linda a
place to stay at his ranch in Texas.
She agrees because life seems to have
no other options.
The story veers off for a while
when Walker tackles a seemingly ran-
dom story concerning lack's uncle,
Vaughn Rhomer and then returns
back to hapless couple. But -life isn't
all wonderful and blissful on the
Texas ranch. There are wild pigs that
scream at night and destroy crops.
Most of all. lack suffers from
post-Vietnam trauma and disappears
for days at a time leaving Linda
alone. Basically the whole story
evolves around this fc-eling of drifting
and trying to find self-worth and
peace. Straight forward, honest and
stark. Border Music is a delicate book
that will leave an imprint upon the
reader's memory in a way Bridges

MEMNOCH THE DEVIL
Anne Rice
Alfred A Knopf
Lestat is clever. Lestat is cool.
Lestat is a vampire.
In Anne Rice's fifth installment of
the Vampire Chronicals Lestat once
again takes center stage (a place
where he likes best to be) as cunning
and clever as ever.
Like in Tales of a Body Thief. Rice
takes this dynamic character and
gives him his greatest challenge yet.
It is one thing to become human
again but it is another thing tu be
offered the powers of the Devil. As
always, her favorite character refuses
to back down and takes up the chal-
lenge to view and be tempted by the
powers of the universe.
It is then that he must chose to
become the devil's advocate or find
some kind of redemption as a servant
of God. casting aside the belief that
vampires are cursed creatures of the
night spited by the Almighty.
Rice's command of the English
language is excellent. Like a spider
she weaves an intricate web of words
and thoughts, sticky sweet and irre-
sistible. No matter how lengthy or
complex her tales are, they always
become utterly engrossing and
thought provoking. In Memnoch.

the vampires she seems to favor,

ing fans drained but always thirsting

THE COLLEGE WOMAN'S
HANDBOOK
Rachel Dobkm d Shana Sippy
Workman
There are a lot of self-help guides
for college students — everything
from landing a summer job to finding
the best beer games. Never before,
however, has there been a self- help
guide for college women, and more
than that, a guide that covers it all.
Until The College Woman's
Handbook.
Want to know how to apply for a
college transfer'.' Need a checklist for
scoping out that lovely new apart-
ment you're about to move into?
Scared about your next PAP smear?
Authors Rachel Dobkin and Shana
Sippy answer these questions and
hundreds more in a book that's a vir
tual sea of information. Don't worry
about getting lost, however, because
this book is well-organized, with a
consistent formal that makes it easy
for you to find what you're looking
for with very little trouble.
Besides the regular text, each chap-
ter of The College Woman's
Handbook includes boxes with addi-
tional information or quotes from
college-age women across the coun-
try. In "Money Matters," there are
special sections on emergency money,
keeping out of credit card debt,
investing your money, check writing,
balancing your checkbook and more.
Each chapter closes with a large
resource list of organizations to get in
touch with for more information and
books you might want to read for an
in-depth perspective.
Finally, the bottom half-inch of
every page contains an amazing fac-
toid or statistic you've never heard of
before. For instance, did you know:
• Even when they make up less
than 1/4 of a seminar, men do l/J to
1/2 the talking.
• bS"v of men like the way they
look naked, but only 22% of women
do.
• In one survey, 63% of those
women who felt there was a need for
a strong women's movement did not
consider themselves feminists.
With all this information at your
fingertips, you can't help but wonder
how the authors came up with this
stuff so quickly. After all. they just
graduated two years ago! Their youth
works to their advantage throughout
the book, since it's obvious that they
really know what they're talking
about and aren't just a couple of
baby-boomers trying to rip you off.
If The College Woman's
Handbook has one major flaw, it's
that it tries to give you too much
information, including a noticeable
amount of the obvious. For instance,
under "Handy Tips on Moving.' the
authors say. "Don't put too many
heavy things ... in one box. especially
if you will have to carry it yourself.'
Isn't that a lesson everybody has
learned already'.'
Of course, whether you think a
particular section is useful depends
on what your needs are. so one per-
son's godsend might be your "Who
doesn't know that?' In any case,
since you have the power to turn the
page, this flaw is virtually eliminat-
ed.
The same is true when dealing
with the book's extensive coverage
on violence against women and per-
sonal safety. At limes the authors'
advice can sound a lad on the hysteri-
cal side, as when they recommend all
women wear backpacks so they can
keep their hands free while fleeing
attackers.
All in all. The College Woman's
Handbook has the potential to be a
valuable resource to just about any
college- age woman — or any man
who wants to understand one.

continued from page C 1
as King Arthur did. The screenplay
was so limp however that even
Connerv couldn't rescue this movie.
lulia Omiond shed some convinc-
ing tears as Guinevere, but chivalry
was dead in Richard Geres Lancelot.
Never was there a rudjr Knight of
the Round Table.
Camelot was a very obvious sound
stage production, and the tunics
looked like torn sweatshirts. First
Knight lacked creativity in every
aspect of the film, and the snoring
bodies slumped down in the theater's
seats on opening night was an indica-
tion to stay away from Camelot.
CLUELESS vs.
DANGEROUS MINDS
Alright class, which of these two
high school flicks was supposed to be
a farce, and which was meant to seri-
ously pcirtray problems in the school
system'' Hard to tell'' Maybe that is
because the comedy ClueU-is was
more realistic than Dangerom Mindi
tried 10 be.
Here's the "4-1-1" on Clueless:
written and directed by \m\
Heckerling. Cliwlcs!, is being dubbed
the '^Os \ersion of Hast Time^ At
Ridgemoni High. Sure, these Beverly
Hills brats are slaves to fashion, have
beepers attached to their belts and
cell phones attached to their ears —
but thev do have a clue.
Alicia Silverstone (.The Crush)
proves she has more talent than
being the pouty blonde in a trio of
Aerosmith videos in her starring
role as Cher — a teenage girl who
deals with problems in friendship,
love, family and the ever-serious
task of getting her driver's license.
While the film was intended to be a
spoof on the pop phenomenon that
makes shows like "Beverly Hills
90210" stay afloat, the Clueless kids
do have hearts and care about more
than their platform jellies and faux
fur.
The most delightful and unantici-
pated aspect of Clueless is the
funny and fresh dialogue, including
the lingo which Heckerling partially
fabricated, and partially picked up
by attending classes at Beverly Hills
High School Hilarious and trendy
slang words come fast and furious
throughout the film and entertained
despite the liberal dosage of. "as
if!"
Clueless reinforces the notion that
whether it is at Beverly Hills or your
own hometown's high school,
teenage troubles are all basically the
same, and not that depressing to
reflect upon.
Dangerous Minds squeezes itself
into that already crowded genre
(which includes To Sir With Love.
Stand and Deliver, and Dead Poets
Society) of young, determined teach-
ers who sweep into a classroom of
undisciplined students, change the
curriculum, demand respect and
inspire learning.
Directed by John N. Smith.
Dangerous Minds is a
watered-down, white-washed adap-
tation of Louanne lohnson's book.
A/y Posse Don't Do Homework (a
title too strong to use — in
Hollywood's opinion).
While the film perpetuates every
stereotype possible about inner-city
youth, it neglects every situation
when it becomes intense, thereby
robbing the young actors of a chance
to finish what began as compelling
performances.
.Michelle Pfeiffer as the teacher.
Ms. lohnson, acts more like a fairy
godmother than a leader or a role
model. She throws herself headlong
into her students' problems, which
range from teenage pregnancy to
gang violence. Pfeiffer teaches them
poetry with Bob Dylan lyrics. Excuse
me. but the film doesn't even stick
to its own stereotypes here. The real
Louanne lohnson used rap music to
achieve her goals in the classroom
— a more practical technique I'm
sure.
Pfeiffer's sincerity is difficult to
believe, as she calls her unruly stu-
dents "little bastards" in one scene

and is hugging them in the next. She
also seems to be on a personal cru-
sade, challenging that proverbial
"System" and losing focus on the
issue of getting her students to care
about their lives. Adversities in
Dangerous Minds work themselves
out so conveniently, it is hard to buy
any of it.
APOLLO 13 vs. THE NET
We knew the ending, but we were
on the edge of our seats in Apollo 13
anyways. Why? To give credit where
credit is due. Ron Howard is the
man who made the magic in outer
space.
Howard took a giant leap for direc-
tor-kind by using absolutely no stock
footage t" recreate the shuttle scenes
or shots from outer space. Ironically,
it made the movie feel more authen-
tic than Oliver Stone's historical
drama IFK.
Even though our astronaut actors:
Tom Hanks. Bill Paxion and Kevin
Bacon braved stomach-wrenching
airsickness as they filmed in zero
gravity, they didn't deliver memo-
rable perfonnances. Nothing personal
was disclosed about Paxton's charac-
ter, and even Mr. "Oscar" Hanks as
|im Lovell didn't say anything mean-
ingful except. "Houston, we have a
problem."
The shining star in this space
movie was the man on the ground.
Gary Sinese — a man I think we can
expect great things from in the
future.
Apollo 1 3 will no doubt be remem-
bered as the movie of the summer
because it was an all-American,
mainstream movie that made baby
boomers remember where they were
on the day the tragedy occurred, and
educated their children in something
before their time.
While Apollo 13 dealt with three
men stranded in space and how
they conquered technology to get
home. The Set was a story about
Sandra Bullock's isolation in the
real world and how technology con-
quered her.
Two things irk me about Sandra
Bullock. First, she is always cast as a
woman alone in the world, struggling
to find someone and to save her own
life. Second, if I hear the word,
"like-ability" with her name once
more I will scream.
Bullock is the favorite actress of
the summer though, and she does
save The \'et from becoming a com-
plete bomb. Were there any other
actors in the film? Oh yeah, a grisly-
faced Dennis Miller who. fortunately
for us. dies in the beginning.
The suspense scenes (including the
overused Ferris Wheel sequence)
were boring and all of the other per-
formances were anything but note-
worthy.
What did frighten me was the con-
cept of how one's identity can be
stripped away due to our incredible
reliance upon computers. With
everybody going online these days, it
is a very timely plot, but they could
have done more with it in The Net.
There should have been more scenes
with Bullock surfing the net than
running down dark alleys. It's a
shame to see a good plot idea fall
into the hands of a bad director and
unskilled actors.
THE BKIDCES Of MADISON
COUNTY vs.
A WALK IN THE CLOUDS
Although The Bridges of Madison
County played to a select audience,
it was a Him embraced far and wide
as the definitive summer romance
and garnered many of the cult fol-
lowers of Robert lames Waller's
book.
You certainly didn't have to read
the novel to fall in love with Bridges.
in fact, it was probably a better expe-
rience if you did not read it because
of the changes made from book to
screenplay.
Picture this: flies buzzing around
lamps, screen doors and sweating
glasses of iced tea. On a sticky sum-
mer day in Madison County, Iowa, a
stranger happens by Francesca
lohnson (Meryl Streep) and lights the
fuse of passion in a middle-aged
housewife who's fantasies have been
suppressed by years of boring farm
life.
Streep is utterly amazing as
Francesca. She had to be to succeed
at making Clint Eastwood seem
romantic and sexy. Though his
direction was superb, Eastwood
picking wildflowers and taking a
bubble bath with Streep was the
only hard thing to swallow in this
movie.-
The shots of the actual bridges in
Madison County are perfectly bal-
anced with the telling of the story. An
example of Eastwood's careful direc-
tion was the fabulous finale in the
rain, with Streep reaching for the
door handle of the truck, as she
watches Eastwood's blinker at the
stoplight.
Bridges was the stunning romance
of the summer, and so captured
your heart you could feel the steamy
Iowa heat form beads of perspira-
tion on your forehead — or perhaps
it was the tears rolling down your
cheeks.
There were also two other
strangers who met on a dusty road
and fell in love this summer. But the
problem was Keanu Reeves just
didn't cut it in Alfonso Arau's A
Walk in the Clouds, in fact. Reeves
made it feel more like a trudge
through a vineyard
Arau (Like Water For Chocolate)
makes magic in the wine vineyard in
California, but Reeves and the preg-
nant woman (Aitana
Sanchez-Gijon) he pretends to be
joined in marital bliss with to pre-
vent disgracing her family's name,
do not do anything mystical.
Sanchez-Gijon is full of passion, but
Reeve's constantly open-mouthed,
deer-caught-in-headlights stupid
look steals from her performance.
In short, anyone else would have
been better cast than Reeves, who
can't seem to break the Bill & Ted
mold, and it is very difficult and
somewhat unfair to compare A Walk
in the Clouds to Bridges in the same
story.
In a League of its Own...
BATMAN FOREVER
It was three times the charm for
the movie about the black bat. as
director Joel Shumacher pulled the
third Batman movie from the murky
Tim Burton-esque depths that con-
fused and bored us in Batman
Returns.
"Better than the second one, but
not as good as the first" tends to be
the sentimentality behind Batman
Forever. Of course. We had to part
with Michael Keaton in favor of
Val Kilmer as the winged rodent,
and as an audience, we fear change
in our superheros. Who wouldn't
prefer lack Nicholson to Tommy
Lee Jones as the arch enemy any
day?
Kilmer does a decent job taking
over the reigns, however, there are
so many other characters that
Batman fades to black amongst the
colorful scenery. First, there is his
faithful sidekick, Robin, performed
by the up and coming Chris
O'Donnell. Batman's mate of choice
is Dr. Chase Meridian, played by a
seductive Nicole Kidman, and
there's that scarred guy. Harvey Two
Face.
The biggest surprise in the film has
to be )im Carey's (dare I say it) won-
derful performance as the Riddler.
Finally, Carey has landed a role
where he didn't annoy or repulse us
to tears. As someone who detested
Carey in all of his earlier releases
(Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. Dumb
A Dumber, and The Mask), his por-
trayal of the Riddler actually gave me
some respect for the actor. The man
flourished in a role where he was
restrained and some of his creative
license revoked.
Batman Forever was the sequel
that was going to make or break the
potential for a fourth, fifth and sixth
one. It had sex-appeal (most women
left the theater wishing she could be
in a superhero sandwich), vibrantly
colored sets and costumes and a lack
of bloodshed despite all of the vio-
lence. Batman Forewr was a facelift
for a film that we will definitely see
more sequels to.

Minutewomen counting on defense, depth in ^95
iy Justin C. SmMi
Collegian Staff
With the addition of nine newcom-
ers to the squad, the Llniversity of
Massachusetts women's soccer team
can boast about something cither
than new faces.
Talent up and down their roster.
"At this point we have more over-
all depth then we have had in a long
time." UMass coach |im Rudy said.
"There is not a fall off in talent which
is very impressive."
The main focus of Rudy's squad
right now is the defense in front of
sophomore goultender Danielle
Dion. Dion burst upon the scene last
year, replacing Briana Scurry, now a
member of the US. National team.
and posted impressive numbers. Her
goals-against-average was a solid
0.71 and she did not surrender a goal
in conference play.
Last year's backup keeper, Nancy
Keiser, is no longer with the team,
having left in order to better herself
academically. Her absence leaves a
hole on the team, something not lost
on her former coach.
"We love and respect Nancy."
Rudy said. "And we would love to
have her back."
The defense, which hopes to keep
Dion's workload to a minimum, will
be without the services of
All-American Heidi Kocher. but will
still provide a strong wall of protec-
tion for the goalie.

anchored by junior captain and
All American candidate Erin Lynch.
Not only will Lynch, the 1 994 Atlantic
10 Player of the Year, provide the
needed defense, she may contribute to
the offensive side of the ball coming
up from her defensive back position
Senior captain Nikki Ahrenholz
and sophomore Erica Iverson also
return to the backfield for UMass.
Both are solid, dependable markers
to stop opposing rushes down field.
The vacant backfield position
appears to be filled by freshman
Amanda Thompson. She played for
the Klein Challenge Club team out of
Houston and is expected to be a sman
and steady addition to the lineup.
"She has played in such programs
that are similar to our system that
she is cvmifortable playing our style."
Rudy said. "She is going to be very
solid for us."
Other newcomers to the defense
are a transfer from the Australian
University of Wollongong. Vicki
Linton, and freshman Meghan
Brennan, who participated in the
United States Youth Soccer
Association Final Four for the
Yorktown jaguars.
There is a logjam of strong candi
dates for the starting spots at midfield
luniors |ulie Magid. Amy Powell and
Sandy Shimogaki will all be key con-
tributors at the position. Sophomore
Elizabeth Rutherford and freshman
Sara Hill will also have roles off of the
bench to start the season.
With all of the interchangeable tal
ent at that position there will be one
constant for the Minutewomen in the
middle of the field. It will be con-
trolled by the presence of junior cap-
tain Rebecca Myers.
Myers will look to distribute the
ball to the wings in order to spread
the scoring around, as well as contin-
ue to add to her numbers of a year
ago. She is the leading returning scor-
er from a year ago with 1 1 goals and
six assists for 28 points Her offensive
output will be needed to compensate
for the loss of the three women who
totaled 50 points a year ago.
Melissa Mitchell has graduated
along with KiKher but the loss that
will hurl the offense the most will be
the absence of the leading goal scorer
from the 1»)«}4 campaign. Nicole

"We will miss her scoring poten-
tial," Rudy said of Roberts. "Almost
any through ball there wa>. that
chance for the goal, but we will adjust
our attack. Often when you lose
something, you gain something el.se."

scoring will be spread out across the
forward line
'Rachel LcDuc is a quality goal
scorer." Rudy -ays of his senior
co-captain, "a key player in big games
and has trained real hard this summer.
She looks very sharp so far. With
Roberts gone there is more opportuni-
ty for Rachel to vhow her talentv and
others will also pick up the slack. "
LeDuc plays the game in such a
manner that she will gain control of
any ball in her vicinity. Her experi
ence arni leadership will play a large
part in developing the attack on their
opponents Returning along side
LeDuc is fifth year senior Polly

When the season starts Sept 2 at

win shy of his 100th career win at

to during the season are the UMass
Classic, the matchup with UConn
and the much anticipated rematch
with Hartford, which swept two
games from UMass last season,
including the season ending 2-0 loss
in the NCAA Tournament.
The Minutewomen will contend
with another loss, because former
UMass assistant coach April Kater
will not return to assist Rudy along
the sidelines. Rather, she opted to
head up ihe brand new women's soc-
cer program at Syracuse. Chris
Chamides will be the replacement

Newcomers hope to boost Minutewomen chances
Thompson , ]ohnsoin and Hill
have potential to fill big holes
%Y Gindice Flemming
Collegian Staff
The holes to be filled are huge.
Ail-American defender Heidi
Kocher and forward Melissa
Mitchell have both graduated and
are now playing overseas in t'inland.
and the
Minutewomen's lead-
ing scorer for the past
two seasons, forward
Nicole Roberts, is not
returning for her
senior year because of
undisclosed reasons.
Although the 1995
recruiting class for
UMass women's soc-
cer team is not
expected to put up
the kind of numbers
that Kocher, Mitchell
and Roberts did. they
all have the potential
to make an immediate impact.
Altogether there are nine new-
comers, with only six guaranteed to
play in 1995.
IcD Olscn, from Simi Valley.
Calif., has been redshirted. and
transfer Samaniha Frank, might not
be eligible to play this season. The
NCAA denied her eligibility for this
upcoming season but
UMass is appealing
the decision. In
intriguing prospect to
the UMass squad
could be Camilla
Therpc. from
Denmark, who is
rumored to have
played with the
National Youth Team.
The other six new-
comers include five
freshmen and one
transfer from
Australia Amanda
Thompson, a defender
out of Houston.
Texas, is the leading candidate to try
and make up for Kocher's loss.
Thompson brings an impressive
resume with her to UMass. She
played for the prestigious Klein
Challenge Soccer Club and she was
an All-State Olympic Development
player at the Under- 1 4. Under- lb
and Under- 19 levels. She was also a
member of the U.S.
Soccer Association
and the South
Regional Olympic
Development
Program team in
1993 and 1994, and
was a Top JO player
for the U.S. National
Youth Team.
Thompson has
shown flashes of the
future in the
Minutewomen's pre-
season scrimmages
against Boston
College and Vermont
with Iter confident and steady play.
"She looks very good. She's a very
mature freshman." UMass coach lim
Rudy said. "We expect very steady
play out of her. She plays great
defense and is good in the air.
"She's a very smart player for a
freshman."
Karin lohnson, a forward out of
Amanda Thompson
Karin Johnson
Sara Hill
Sutton. Mass.. is another freshman
who will try to fill some big shoes.
With the loss of Roberts, lohnson
could see more playing time than
she might have expected.
As a senior at Sutton, lohnson
scored 25 goals and notched 16
assists while being named a 1994
All-.New England,
A I I - C e n t r a I
Massachusetts and
All-Dual Valley
League selection, in
addition to being
named Player of the
^ear in the league.
She led Sutton to
three State
Championships from
1991 95. lohnson
was also a member of
the Sutton Fuller
Hamlets Soccer Club
and a graduate of the
UMass Advanced
Girls Soccer camp.
"She's got some serious potential.
She's looking pretty good for a
freshman. She's got great speed, she
can hit the ball with both feet.'
Rudy said. "Karin had some flashes
of some good stuff (during the
scrimmages). I think she's gonna get
some goals this year."
Another new fron-
trunner is Michele
Ferzan out of
Basking Ridge. N|.
Kerzan has been ham-
pered by a knee
injury and didn't see
action in either of the
two scrimmages
against BC and
Vermont. "She's a
very quick, high
work- rate, aggres-
sive frontrunner."
Rudy said.
During her senior
year of high school,
Kerzan displayed her
outstanding offensive capabilities
scoring M goals and notching nine
assists fur 71 pt>ints. She was named
lo the New lersey All State team as
well as receiving All-Somerset
County and All Mountain Valley
Conference distinction.
Sara Hill, from Castleton. NY.
could see time al the forward and
midfield positions. In
high school. Hill was
named first team
All -State and cap-
tured Section II Class
C Player of the Year
honors. She was the
MVP of her high
school team in 1995
and 1994
"Sara's looking very
competent, which we
knew she would."
Rudy said. "She gives
us a very strong,
attacking and athletic
personality off the left
side "
Meghan Brennan, out of
^'orktown. NY. who is listed as both
a midfielder and defender, has been
slowed by an eye injury, but has
some talent. She was the team cap-
lain for her high school team that

decided she would leave UMass to
start the Syracuse women's soccer
program.
"There will never be another
April Kater." junior halfback
Rebecca Myers said. "She is impos-
sible to replace."
Chris Chamides. a graduate of
Lafayette, and now studying
Sports Management at the
Graduate level, will be assisting
UMass head coach |im Rudy on
the sidelines this year.
"I think there are some differ-
ences from the men's game to the
women's game, and maybe I can
bring along some tidbits that I've
picked up along the way."
Chamides said. "The women's
game is very team oriented, more
so than the men's is. and some-
times at certain points of the game
it's better to be a bit selfish and go
one-on-one."
In college. Chamides was a full-
back and in practice his focus is on
the defense, and strengthening
what is already a highly talented
group
'I played as a defender ar>d I get
to work with the defenders a lot,
who are very solid here in the first
place," Chamides added. "So I can
get into some of the nitty gritty
things and work with them. When
we do functional. I guess that's my

replacement for Kater. Rudy did
not get a chance to get to know
Chamides style atul vice- versa. No
styles of play were compared, so lit-
tle was known of the other when
they began to work together.
"Chris has been a little quiet so
far." Rudy said of his new assistant.
'But he has done a g(.K)d job work-
ing with the girls so far. he just
needs to work on his crosses to the
front of the net. My legs aren't what
they once were."
"The styles of play and the way
we approach the game are similar,
yet different." Chamides said.
"There is a lot of the same meaning
behind the training but the terms
are different My experience has
mainly been with man livman as a
defender and high pressure
throughout. Where this is a little
different, as a more zonal
(defense), but he also leaves a lot
ot room for them to apply high
pressure. Other than that, our
approach to training is very simi-
lar "
"His general approach to the
game and coaching style, and
mine, are basicallv the same. Of
course he's a lot more knowledge-

on a lot of different issues." said

UMass was a place that
Chamides felt was a pertecl fit for
himself to grow as a ci.>ach as well
as a student.
Not only for the experience of
assisting a national soccer program,
but the furthering of his csducation
at the .same time.

Minutemen hoping to repeat as A- 10 Champions
By Allison Connolly &
Leigh Torbin
Collegian Staff
Thi> fall the University of
MassiiLhusetIs men's soccer team will
be returning to Richard F. Garber
Field with a lot of promise, and as
the defending Atlantic 10 champions.
Last year was the Minutemen's
first cvci A 10 regular ^ca^^.lIl cham-
pionship as they finished with a
13-6-1 record, b-1 in the A- 10. The
postseason title eluded UMass as they
lost the Championship game to
Rutgers. 4-3.
UMass coach Sam Koch, the
.A-lO's Coach of the Year, is both
confident and optimistic about the
upcoming season.
"If we stay healthy, we can play up
to our potential and definitely
repeat." Koch said. "We have to stay
healthy, focused and keep the intensi-
ty that we've had for the preseason,
which has been solid."
The team rosier will see 1 1 return-
ing players but. "we have an awful lot
of new players." according to KcKh.
Five freshmen were in the lineup for

Sophomore Karsten Bremke is one of several reasons that the UMass men's soccer team is optimistic for the

The first games are crucial for how
the team will progress for the rest of
the season. UMass opens with five
consecutive games at Garber Field,
three of which are against A-IO
opponents. Koch will be looking to
his new recruits to adjust to the
UMass style of play from the start.
"I have no fear whatsoever that in
the second half of the season, we're
going to be a very competitive team."
Koch said. "The first half will be for
removing the freshman mistakes and
if they do thai then I feel very confi-
dent that we'll be in the tournament
and play as well as we did last year."
Koch is confident that his new
players will not have much trouble
assimilating, even with the challenge
of replacing the shoes of midfielder
Mike Doyle, forward Hossein Giahi.

Pittman and goaltender Mark Wolf.
"In the beginning depth might be
an issue, but once (the freshmen) gel
their feet wet they'll fit il very well."
Koch said. 'Scott Regina has played
for a very good club team at a lop
level and playing in big games isn't
new to him. Mark Saad has played
at that high level as well so there'll
be very little difference for him. Brad
Kurowski played at a high level with
Cleveland United. A good number of
ihe freshmen have played with good
clubs at high levels so the transition
won't be too hard for ihem."
Koch will be fine tuning the
line-up. trying to coordinate the
strengths of the returning players
with the talents of the new recruits.
"We're young now and that's the
main difference |from last year)."
Koch said. "We've got a solid core of

Tough schedule
waiting for UlViass
By Lsigh Torbin
Collegian Stoff
If UMass men's soccer intends
to defend its regular season
Atlantic-IO Conference title, and
capture its first ever playoff title,
the team must navigate through a
treacherous schedule.
A long and rocky road lies
between the Minutemen and the
A- 10 Championships to be held
Nov. 3-5 in Kingston. R.l.
Standing in UMass' way is a 20
game schedule spanning 58 gruel-
ing days. Eleven conference games
and a fierce non- conference
schedule will make things exciting
for the Minutemen. who check in
ranked fifth in New England.
UMass will face three of the four
teams ahead of them, in what
promises to be a thrilling cam-
paign.
.After opening with five games
at Richard F, Garber Field, two
tough roadtrips lie ahead of the
Minutemen. Next weekend UMass
will travel to Ohio for tilts with
new conference foes Xavier and
Dayton. Xavier should provide
UMass with a challenge as the
Musketeers are perennially a
strong club, and feature two cf
the nation's top ten scorers.
It will be a homecoming of
sorts for Koch, as he returns to his
formef school, Stanford, for a pair
of games Sept. 29 and Oct. 1. in
Palo Alto, California. Koch came
to UMass in 1990 after a success
ful career coaching the Cardinals
W^ile Stanford will put a tough
team on the field, it is the oppor-
tunity to face San Francisco that
has Koch excited.
The Dons are always a national
power and have claimed four
NCAA titles. The legendary
Stephen Negoesco is the win-
ningest coach in collegiate history,
amassing 495 victories in his 55
years at the helm at USF. The pos-
sibility exists that UMass could
stand between Negoesco and his
milestone 500th victory, when
they face off in the Stanford
Classic.
"Having the first five games at
home certainly can't hurt us,"
Koch said. "What's tough is play
ing so many games in two months
Especially the travel will have an
effect on us. Going to Ohio and
California will take its toll on us
physically, but I think we're ready
for it
"[The Stanford trip) will be fun
The competition will be outstand-
ing. USF's a top 20 team and have

an instrumental role as well.
|oc lacobson will shift back to
midfield after trying his hand at
sweeper in 1994 and will contribute,
along with Brad Miller, who played
in 19 of UMass' 20 games last year.
Freshmen Kurowski, Saad and
Regina will also add to the
Minuieman midfield. which is expect-
ed to be the team''- dominant unit.
Colin lohnson will be a co-captain
for the second year in a row and is
expected to pack a scoring punch
after tying for the team lead with
eight goals last year (19 points).
Siljanovski (eight goals, seven assists)
will power the UMass attack.
Senior Benny Sheally will anchor
the Minuieman defense from his
sweeper position. Koch will call upon
freshmen to step up at defense where
only Sheally and Mike Cosman
return. Tobias Bremke, youngci
brother of Karsten, |ohn Hanna and
larrei Duncan will have an opportu
nity to make an impact in their fresh
man seasons. Eric Grubcr will be in
goal to start the season. He proved ti>
be a dependable backup to Mark
Wolf last year, registering shutout^
against Providence and Maine.
"Eric Gruber is in goal and looking'
great." Koch said. Redshirl freshman
|eff lablonski will compete for ihc
backup role along with true freshmen
Tim Pearson and Todd Fowler.
The Minutemen started their que^i
for the A- 10 title on Saturday against
LaSalle, and Virginia Tech Sunday

Men's water polo trying for EWPA three-peat
By Leigh Torbin

The University of Massachusetts'
water polo team will attempt to
accomplish an elusive feat this sea-
son, a goal that the Dallas Cowboys.
Pittsburgh Penguins and Toronto
Blue lays all could not reach.
UMass' elusive goal? A ihree-peat.
as the Minutemen aim for a third
consecutive Eastern Water Polo
Association championship, and a
third consecutive trip to the NCAA
Championships, to be held December
2-5 at Stanford.
Despite losing prolific scorer lavier
Gonzalez and his school record 187
points last season to graduation.
UMass returns with a talented nucle-
us and expects to claim a third
straight EWPA title and NCAA binh
this season. However. UMass coach
Russ Yarworth has his sights set at
an even loftier plateau.
"We've set our goal of winning
Easterns and going to the NCAAs,
but my goal for the program is to be
national champions. It's a tough goal
but as coach Cat says, if you don't
reach for the stars you won't
approach them,' and that's what
we're trying to do."
Alex Mujica will be the team's
focal point, as he embarks on his
fourth and final season in goal for
the Minutemen. Despite being under-
sized at 5-9, Mujica already holds
school career records in saves (551).
save percentage (.551) and goals
against average (7.80) and has been
selected to the past two All-Eastern
first teams.
Mujica represents the team's back-
bone and will have to continue his
stellar play of the past three years for
the Minutemen to make wavc-s in the
EWPA.
"The team starts and finishes with
Alex." Yarworth said. "He's in great
shape with a great attitude. He's the
best goalie in the Eastern region."
Should Mujica ever falter. UMass
is still in sure hands, as Paul Engin
proved lo be an exceptional back-up
in 1994. Engin set a school record by
making 21 saves against Brown and
finished the year with a .525 save
percentage and a 8.07 GAA.
Luis Limardo is back to lead the
UMass offense this season. In 1994.
Limardo set single season records in
goals (127). fouls drawn (71). penal
ty shots drawn (8). a career record
for shooting percentage (.567). and
single game records in goals (10) and
points (111. Losing half of their often
lethal 1-2 scoring punch in Gonzalez
and Limbardo will sling, but
We've set our goal of
winning Easterns and
going to the NCAAs, but
my goal for the program
is to be national cham-
pions.

The annual L'ni\ersity of Massachusetts' football media
day was held a couple of weeks back on the grass of
Warren McGuirk Alumni Stadium, and Mike Hodges
strolled onto the Held with his team.
.A bunch of reporters huddled around the fourth-year
Minuteman head coach, and all had one particular
curiosity to settle. Hodges fielded the first seven ques-
tions asked in seven different ways as to who his start-
ing quarterback will be come Sept. 9 against
Richmond. The answers were all of the same nature:
Who knows?
"Were going to make that decision just like last year."
Hodgev said, referring to last year's naming of Andrew
McNeilly as QB after Viio Campanile went down with a
knee injury prior to the 1994 season. "This year, it's .•
three way race."
Hodges and staff will choose from the incumbent
McNeilly. the returning Campanile, and the inexperienced
sophomore Anthony Calierlon Regardless of who is
tabbed as the field general, it is definitely imperative for
the Minutemen to have a passing attack. Massachusetts
still plans on many a handoff. with a backfield led by All-
American Rene Ingoglia. But the lack of throwing (actu-
ally, completing) was considered the main reason why the
Minutemen finished a disappointing 5-6 last season,
resulting in Hodges first sub .500 season.
Hcre'>> a look at the Minutemen:
OfTen^
\ guess from this writer says it's McNeilly "s job to
lose, with Campanile taking over after some game action.
McNeilly's a lough kid. but has trouble putting together
a passing attack. A healthy Campanile could be the
answer.
.As uncertain as the QB situation is at this point, it is
certain that the running game of the Minutemen will
be among the best in the country, let alone the Yankee
Conference. The main reason is the senior Ingoglia.
who led the YanCon in rushing for the second straight
year, gaining 1.505 yards. Throw in tailback Frank

Ingoglia has sights on championship
By Mike Brown
Collegion Staff
Without question, for UMass football Rene Ingoglia is the man.
COO«TtSY M(01* MLATIONS
The University of Massachusetts possess the most
feared running back in the Yankee Conference. Senior
Rene Ingoglia returns to the Minutemen running attack
with his sights set on a Yankee Conference championship.
In an offense, \iial aspects include a ground game and
the passing game to gain yardage and put points on the
scoreboard. While the leader of the Minuteman aerial
assault remains to be seen, the ground game led by
Ingoglia looks to leave nothing but tracks to the end zone.
Entering his final season in the maroon and white.
Ingoglia's career at UMass has resulted in impressive
numbers and shattered records in every category, with
more likely to be broken along the way.
Ingoglia has led the Yankee Conference in rushing the
past two seasons, putting up 1.505 yards last season and
is currently 414 yards shy of passing Garry Pearson
(3.860 yards) to become UMass' all-time career leading
rusher. He now stands second with 5.446 career yards.
Last year. Ingoglia tallied 3 1 3 yards in a single game
against Rhode Island, setting a Yankee Conference
record, and he is on pace to become the all-time leading
rusher in Yankee Conference history.
"As far as the records go. those were never goals. Those
were things ihat just happened along the way." Ingoglia
said. "If it happens to happen this year along the way, so
be it."
Qualities that make Ingoglia such a reluctant star are
his work ethic, ability and focus towards football. He
doesn't worry about being the superstar or putting up
huge numbers. He goes full throttle and gives 1(X) per-
cent. Ingoglia's main concern in his mind, is winning
games and the conference. Everything else is filed into the
UMass history books.
"Personally. I just want to be consistent and if I gel a
hundred yards, then 1 am helping the team." Ingoglia said.
"I want to win the Yankee Conference and be consistent."
Ingoglia meshes all the aspects of a great running back
into his game. He can do many things to create yardage,
possessing speed, power and the ability to make people
miss.
"I Ingoglia! does it all. If you stuff him on the inside, he
has speed and moves to get it outside. If you overplay the
outside and think you're going to arm tackle him. he'll run
right through it." UMass coach Mike Hodges said. "He
has great balance, power and strength."
"I don't think there is anyone in the country who
doesn't know about him and how good he is at running
the ball." said senior quarterback Andrew McNeilly.
Ingoglia attributes his success to his conditioning out-
side of the football season. He has worked extremely hard
in the off season in order to maximize his speed and
strength. Ingoglia's .speed and weight are right where he
wants them. The fullback is striving for the durability
needed to log an aching 1 1 -game schedule.
"Rene Ingoglia is as hard a worker as I've ever been
around. He prepares himself that way in the weight
room." Hodges said. "In practice he has one speed. He
goes full speed and gives his best effort all of the time."
"This year I feel more intense. I always go hard durabil-
ity- wise." Ingoglia said. "We went at it pretty hard to get
in shape. It makes a big difference when you get into the
eighth and ninth week of the season."
With the status of senior and co-captain, Ingoglia is the
Coach looks
in the mirror
By Andrew Bryce
Collegion Staff
Mike Hodges looked at himself upon the conclu
sion of the 1994 season.
He had already seen himself coach the University
of Massachusetts' football team to a sub .500
record, going 5-6 during the 1994 season. He
looked back on guiding a team with three
.Mi-Americans, register big wins at William & Mary
and Delaware, yet lose close ones to Richmond and
Connecticut.
Hodges remembered the goals he set for the team
prior to the season. He remembered the piece of
paper that was posted on the bulletin board in the
Minuteman locker room, with the lofty goals listed
for the team to see each day. He recalls telling the
media that his team was taking each game at a time,
and not looking forward to the others.
Hedges then look that look at himselL
I (IcKikedj at myself." Hodges said, "and I asked
all of our players and coaches to do the same
thing. We weren't a^ successful as we wanted to
be. and I want everybody to figure out what they
did to contribute lo ihat. and make sure we don't
do it again. And thai starts with me. that's what
I've done. There are some things that I did or did
not do last year, and I'm not going to do those
things again."
The fourth-year .Minuteman head coach, in his
18th season at Massachusett'-. still admits that the
goals do not change. As lofty as they have been in
the three years that he's compiled a 20 12 record,
they will remain the same this year. It does not stop
with a winning record, or a Yankee Conference
title, or NCAA tournament bid. They are limitless,
just like the previous years. So what's the differ-
ence?
"I want us to have high goals. I expect that, the
program expects that, and these kids expect that."
Hodges said. "But my job is to make sure we stay
focused on how we reach these goals.
"You can have great goals, but it ain't gonna' just
happen. You're not goin to play great defense just
because you play at UMass. You have to remember
how you get to do that."
Hodges stuck by his game by game approach
when talking about each game last season. But he
admits that he did not constantly practice what he
preached He also ncites he could have done a better
job in correcting the "little things."
"We have little things to do every play — you're
^tance if you're a lineman, and your assignment.
Theve things aren't very hard to do. Yet. if you con-
centrate on the detail... I mean the very small
detail... the big thing takes care of itself And that's
what I let us get away with hi'-l year I let us think
more abt)ut the big things, the big picture, rather
than the -mall pan-."
For Hodges and his crew, it's a new season. It
may appear to be the same, as Hodges says the
Minutemen will take it "one day at a time, one prac-
tice at a time, one drill at a time, one repetition at a
time." It's no different than what he said last year or
the year before.
But after looking at himself, and the job he has
done. Mike Hodges is making the adjustments. He is
gaining more experience, just like his players. And
he knows what he has to do.
"My job is to coach these guys to play to the best
of their ability. And if we do that. I think it should
be good enough to win a lot of football games."
rOU!C.I»Nfllf
Mike Hodges has learned from his past mis-
takes.
team leader and influence. He has been around the
Minuteman program and helps the younger players hold
on to a positive woik ethic and altitude.
"You got to know when players are down and try to lift
them up and lead by example." Ingoglia said. "Take the
bull by the horns and lead the way."
Despite playing a Division 1 AA schedule, the
Ingoglia's accomplishments have and will continue lo gain
national attention, and arouse the interest of professional
scouts. Is there a professional career at the end of the
UMass tunnel'.'
"If it is in God's plans then it will happen All I can say
is it's every kid's dream when they arc 8 years old lo play
in the NFL." Ingoglia said. "I think as jpeople gel older

The heat is on at this summer's
football training camp, as three
viable candidates for the quarterback
position sweat it out. fighting for the
starting role.
The University of Massachusetts'
football team carries three experi-
enced and capable quarterbacks into
this season, however the starter is
indefinite.
Much of the attention from oppo-
nents are geared around the always
potent back senior Rene Ingoglia and
coach Mike Hodges looks to take
advantage of Ingoglia's presence on
the field.

ning back in the Yankee Conference.
would pose as a natural distraction
for opposing defenses, opening up
the Minuteman passing game more
this year. Passing is an aspect in
which UMass lacked in the prior
season, and improvement is expect-
ed.
"We are going to get more produc-
tion out of the quarterback position
— but that doesn't mean we are
going to change quarterbacks."
Hodges .said.
"How it's going to turn out with
the competition is going to be very
interesting. We've got talent there
and preseason will take care of
that."
The competition is between
senior Andrew McNeilly. sopho-
more Vito Campanile and Anthony
Catterton.

Senior Andrew McNeilly is in the midst of a dogfight, as he tries to keep
his starting quarterback job...
C o n s i d -
ering there is
no definite
starter, each
quarterback
is pressured
to perform
their best
each practice.
leaving mini-
mal margin
for error.
"I think the
best thing for
any player at
any position
is to be
pushed."
ingoglia said.
"It will make
you better
and the team
better."
The edge for the -tarling job goes
to McNeilly
The Melrose. Mas-, native is a
three-year starter and the incumbent
at the quarterback position.
McNeilly has the most experience,
starting 28 career games for the
Minutemen.
He could become t)nl> the fourth
Massachusetts' quarterback in his-
tory to pass for over 3.000 yards
this season.
Currently. McNeilly stands with
2,451 passing yard-.
But even with the numbers in his
comer, the senior kni'w- the starting
role will not be handed to him
because he held it la-t year
"You have got to keep earning
(starting quarterback), you can't rest
on your laurels and expect it."
McNeilly said.
"By this lime my senior year. I
figured I wouldn't have to worry
about it. but that's not how it works
out."
The pressure to succeed, exerted
by the other quarterbacks does not
phase McNeilly He has worked just
as hard to prepare fi>i the season as
always and the heal for the stalling
quarterback job is the same every
year.
"I always feel heat. I've started for
three years and I have always had
competition." McNeilly said "I was a
freshman behind a filth year senior.
Then as a sophomore. Vito
(Campanile] came in. so it's the
same every year. I had to start all
over again."
Campanile came to
Massachusetts as the all time lead
ing passer in the history of New
Jersey high
school football.
He arguably
possesses the
strongest arm
of the Minute-
man quarter-
backs, and
stepped into
the starting role
in 1993. when
McNeilly went
down with an
injury.
Campanile
took advantage
of his opportu-
nity, leading
Massachusetts
to wins in three
of four games
he started.
He tallied 371
yards passing and threw four touch-
down passes in that span.
During a preseason intrasquad
scrimmage in 1994. Campanile tore
his anterior cruciate ligament and was
forced lo accept a medical redshirt for
the season
Now Camp-anile is back and in the
hunt for the starting job.
He feels no pain in his throwing
motion and the former injury does
not hold back his play on the field
"You can't play ytnir game in fear,
if you di) it's going to affect your per
lormance more than anything."
Campanile said
"Its a pretty common injury.
Rene (Ingoglia) had it in high
school, and it hasn't affected him
much."
Campanile has the desire to lead
the Minutemen. as do the other
quarterbacks.
However, he thrives on the chal-
lenge and excitement of the competi
lion. Canifwnile understands what it
means to earn the top spot.
"The only people that are given
things in this world are little babies
It you want something, you got to go
out there and take it." Campanile
said "I wouldn't want somebody lo
just give me something, just be 'here,
take it '
"I'd rather eam something."
Catterton. last season's back up to
McNeilly. is also contending for the
starting job.
He is the least experieiKed of the
three quarterbacks, and alsu the
youngest.
Last season, the Orlando. Fla.
resident, appeared in three games
and performed exceptionally well.
He completed 50 percent of his 22
passes, for 125 yards. That experi-
ence has enabled Catterton to throw
himself into the quarterback mix. as
a confident and legitimate candi
date.
"I think playing last year helped me
a great deal, lust being on the field
with college players and getting a feel
for how fast it is." Catterton said. "I
feel more along, physically and nten-
tally.
"Last year, being far away from
home was tough, but I've gotten to
know a lot of the players and I'm
comfortable with them."
Catterton may be learning about
college football on the field, but he is
learning a lesson or two off the field
as well.
He is the roommate of fellow quar-
terback McNeilly and the senior
experience can only help the rising
player.
I've learned a lot from Andrew
(McNeilly) by rooming with him."
Catterton said. "I've learned a lot
about fciotball.
"There's no animosity between
us."
Meanwhile, each quarterback is
taking equal snaps in practice and
receiving the same wetrk and alien
lion from the coaching siiiff.
A starter will emerge from the
training camp, and will be looked
upon to lead the Minutemen into the
field of battle
,\ Yankee Conference Champion
ship could be wailing for Mass
achuselis at the end of the tunnel,
and whether they reach it or not. will
depend on the leader of the pack

No clear favorite to win Yankee Conference Title

This season the Yankee
Conference will not feature a "team
to beat." making it potentially the
most evenly matched conference in
recent memory.
"Every year, teams you don't
expect play belter than you do."
University of Massachusetts' football
coach Mike Hodges said. "We will be
challenged every Saturday. There
isn't one team on that schedule who
can't beat us and there i.sn't any team
we can't beat."
"There are a lot of great teams in
this conference." senior Rene
Ingoglia said. "There is not a weak
link in this conference. Anyone can
beat anyone on any given day. That's
what makes it so great."
Massachusetts will square off

three- pealing the Minutemen.
Robert Dougheily was the

under Dougherty, is University ol

former Bt>ston College Eagle Glenn
Foley, who had much success on the

Northeastern returns ten starters

The Huskies return 18 starters
including tailback Wilbur Gilliard
and quarterback Zeke Rcxlgers, who
rung up 968 passing yards last sea-
son. UConn needs Gilliard to step up
into the running role, for the Huskies
lost their all-time school leading

year.
Maine graduated both their top
quarterback in Emilio Colon and
running back Steve Knight who ran
for 798 yards last season Despite the

A positive note for the future of

passing game with junior Chris

Minutemen need to be road warriors
By Justin C. Smilh
Collegion Staff
Once again Massachusetts basketball coach |ohn
Calipari has put together a non-conference schedule that
once again is as tough as there is in the country. They not
only play against top flight competition but do it mostly
away from the friendly confines of home.
This year UMass will spend considerably more time
away from the William D. Mullins' Center. Only 10 of the
Minutemen's 29 regular season games will be played on
campus, down from 14 a year ago.
For the second straight year UMass could be starting off
the season against the No. 1 ranked team in the country.
Kentucky, who returns a solid nucleus from last year's
Final Eight squad, is a likely candidate to be ranked No. I
in the preseason polls. The Minutemen will take on the
Wildcats Nov. 28, in the Great Eight Tournament, which
takes place at the Palace at Auburn Hills, Mich.
The road doesn't get any easier for UMass, as next they

Massachusetts lost a lot from last
year's Elite Eight team.
Most casual observers point to Lou
Roe graduating and moving onto the
NBA. however they may be missing
the bigger picture. Perhaps the
biggest loss came in the backcourt as
Derek Kellogg, Mike Williams and
Andre Burks all are not coming back
this season leaving just Edgar Padilla
and Carmelo Travesio as the only
guards with playing experience.
Kellogg graduated. Williams was
suspended and Burks transferred to
McNeese St Bui UMass coach John
Calipari hopc>> he found someone to
till part of the void in Charlton
Clarke.
Clarke, a 6-fool-5 guard from the
Bronx, attended the same high school
(St. Raymond'st as current Minutetnan
forward Dana Dingle. As a senior.
Clarke averaged 24 6 points and 3.3
assists while leading the Ravens to the
city championship game. In his career.
Clarke scored 1.082 points.
Clarke was a member of the New
York squad at this year's Boston
Shootout, where he was a teammate of
Stephen Marbury. the outstanding
guard who is headed to Georgia Tech.
With the spotlight on Marbury. Clarke
got a chaiKe to quietly show his stulT.
and he didn't disappoint.
He scored 23 points in New York's
only win. against New Icrscy and fol-
lowed that up with a 28-point perfor-
mance the next night against Atlanta.
According to some observers. Clarke
was more consistent than the
high-profiled Marbury. At the tour-
ney, Clarke saw all of his time at the
off-guard, so whether he can fill in at
point is still a question mark. For the
third time in the past four years, a
UMass men's basketball recruit will
have to sit out his first year because
of academic difficulties.
Three years ago. then-freshman
Donta Bright had to sit out a year
because of Proposition 48 and the
following year. Tyrone Weeks had to
do the same thing. This year it's 6-
foot-1 1 forward Lari Ketner,
Ketner. who attended Roman
Catholic High School in Philadelphia,
averaged 24 points and I 5 boards on
his way to being named the
Philadelphia Player of the Year.
Ketner led his team to the champi-
onship game of the Phil<;dephia
Catholic League, as well as the
National Catholic Tournament.

If you check the team's travel plans around Christmas
time, you sec a week's stay in Hawaii, but coach Cal isn't
taking his players on vacation. The Minutemen will com-

petitive over the years but still boasts talented schools
such as Syracuse out of the Big East and Missouri out of
the Big Eight.
As the calendar turns to 19%. UMass rings in the New
Year by making their obligatory stop in Worcester by tak-
ing on the up-and-coming Memphis Tigers, lead by
Lorenzen Wright.
The Minutemen finish the seascm the way they started

invade Freedom Hall to take on the Cardinals of
Louisville. Camby once again will be tested against anoth
cr talented big man. this time in the form of 6-fooi-9

The Atlantic 10 conference schedule won't suffer too
much with the losses of Rutgers and West Virginia to ihe
Big East. It has added Xavier (NCAA participant in 19951
and Virginia Tech (NIT Finalist in 1995), and both games
arc away.
The downside will be that they play Dayton, Fordham
(twice) and LaSalle. Those teams combined for a 51-51

Women's basketball
Minute women have Atlantic 10 Title on mind
Tough schedule for UM
By Candice Flemming
Collegion Stoff
The 1994-95 season was the best ever for the
University of Massachusetts women's basketball team.
But as great as its season was, the Minutewomen don't
want to duplicate it again this year. They want to do even
better.
The Minutewomen finished with a school record 19
wins against 1 1 losses while gaining a bid to the National
Women's Invitational Tournament iNWIT). but they left
the Atlantic 10 Tournament with a quarterfinal loss (to
West Virginia) and a bad taste in their mouths.
That bad taste will probably still be there until they get
another crack at the A- 10 Tournament and an A- 10
Champion-ship.
UMass will head into its quest for the A-10 title with a
k>l of experience and outstanding depth. After losing only
one player from last year's team (Cass Anderson) the
Minutewomen added four newcomers. Yanira Liceaga (a
transfer who sat out last season), laywana Bradley, Lucia
Madajova and Yolanda Rayside (see related story) to go
along with the nine returning players from last year. The
return of guardUorward Kim Gregory, who sat out all of
last year after tearing her anterior cruciate ligament, also
helps the Minutewomen bench.
t(XllClAN»IU
Senior Melissa Curile and the women's basketball team will
be tested early in the preseason NIT.
Seniors Melissa Curile, Octavia Thomas, Tricia
Hopson and Nicole Carter, along with Gregory (with
junior eligibility), have been the cornerstones in the
rebuilding process They were coach joanie O'Brien's
first recruiting class and now they hope to lead UMass.
and coach O'Brien, to its first-ever A-10 Championship
this year. These seniors have led the Minutewomen to the
national spotlight already though. Last year, UMass'
home game against Rhode Island was televised live,
marking the first time a Minutewomen game was carried
live in Amherst. This year. UMass is moving up to the
duece. when the Minutewomen's game at URI is televised
live on F.SPN2. This is just another example of how far
this program has come.
The Minutewomen are not shying away from good
competition and are following the saying "to be the best,
you have to play the best." The Minutewomen don't
waste anytime playing the best as they open up their sea-
son in the Preseason NIT. UMass plays at Maine, a 1995
NCAA participant, in the first round on Nov. 15. If
UMass defeats the Black Bears they would advance to the
second round to play either Pittsburgh or Ohio State.
After the NIT the Minutewomen play host to 1995
Final Four participant Stanford, in a game that brings a
former Amherst Regional High School star back home,
lamilia Wideman, led Amherst to a Division 3 State
Championship in the 1992-95 season and one
of her main rivals was current Minutewomen
Beth Kuzmcski, who is from Northampton.
Next year, UMass travels to Stanford to com-
plete a home-and-home series.
On Nov. 26. UMass will host Detroit, a team
it lost to last year in the first meeting ever
between the two schools. From there, the
Minutewomen head to the Louisiana Tech
Tournament, where they could have a chance to
play Louisiana Tech. another NCAA tourna-
ment participant a year ago. UMass opens up
with Mississippi Valley State while Louisiana
Tech faces St. John's.
After playing Brown and St. Peters, the
Minutewomen will head to the Nationwide
Insurance/Lady Gator Classic in Gainesville,
Fla. UMass plays Florida in the first round
while Boston College meets George
Washington.
On Ian. 9. the Minutewomen travel to their
last non- conference game of the regular season
when they head to Dartmouth.
The rest of the Minutewomen's schedule (as
of Aug. 51). allof their A-10 games, has yet to
be announced. The Minutewomen will be in
the East Division along with Fordham, Rhode
Island, St. Bonaventure, St. Joseph's and
Temple. The West Division will consist of
Dayton. Duquesne, George Washington,
LaSalle. Virginia Tech and Xavier.
UMass will play the East Division teams
home and away, but will meet the West
Division teams only once, either home or
away.
With the new format, the Minutewomen's
newly found rivalry with George Washington has
suffered as the two teams will only meet once
every season unless they nucet in the A-10 tour-
ney.

that has women's hoop enthusiasts expecting a trip

Newcomers show talent
By Gindica Flamming
G>nagtan Staff
With four newcomers added to its
already deep squad, the
Massachusetts women's basketball
team seems primed to take another
shot at winning the Atlantic 10
Conference Regular season and
Tournament titles.
The Minutewomen came close last
season, finishing second to George
Washington during the regular season
and heading into the Atlantic 10
Tournament as the No. 2 seed and as
one of the favorites to win the title,
but were upset by No. 7 seed West
Virginia in the first round.
The team learned a lot from that
defeat and hope that the experience
gained last year leads them to the
championship this season.
The four newcomers to this year's
Minutewomen squad are a talented
group who hopes to help give UMass
the A- 10 championship. They are
sophomore Yanira Lkxaga (• tnmsfcr
last year who could not play but prac-
ticed with the team), jaywana Bradley.
Lucia Madajova and Yolanda Rayside.
Bradley and Liceaga will both see
time in the backcourt while Madajova
and Rayside will Tight for time in the
frontcourt.
The 5-foot-9 Bradley comes to
UMass from Manhattan Center High
School in New York where, as a
senior, she averaged 24 points, four
assists and 12 rebounds all while
earning All-City honors. While
Bradley will most likely see more time
at the guard position, she has the abil
ity to play forward, giving UMass
coach joanie O'Brien even more
depth underneath.
Liceaga will fight with Tricia
Hopson. Beth Kuzmeski and Sabriya
Mitchell, as well as Bradley, for play
ing time in the backcourt. Liceaga
does have a slight advantage over
Bradley bixausc she was able to prac-
tice with the team all last year.
Madajova (6-root-2) and Rayside
(6-foot-l) join Melissa Gurilc.
Octavia Thomas. Crystal Carroll. Tc/
Kraft and Kara Tudman to give
UMass outstanding depth. Madajova
could see time at both the forward
and center positions while Rayside
will likely be at center
Madajova. originally fium Slovakia.
avtTaged 17.7 points. 15.1 rebounds
and 3.6 blocks as a senior at David
Prouty High School in Worcester,
Ma
Rayside played her high school bull
at the High School of Fashion in New

school's all-time leading scorer

As the Fall Classic nears, we will nnally taste post-sea-
son baseball again, this tiine with the adiidition of a wild
card team.
Nou have the purists who say wild card teams dilute the
meaning of championship baseball, but compare baseball
to uther spons. Hockey- and Basketball are four rounds of
scries before a winner is determined. The wild card will
create more excitement to the baseball playoffs, and will
give a deserving team a chance to drive home the crown.

Pileski released, Pelis signs on and]ette shines
An ailment to former UMass
shortstop Mark Pileski has put his
professional career on hold for the
time being. Pileski was selected in
the 1 1th round of the 1995 entry
draft by the New York Mets. He
went on to sign with them, there-
fore foregoing his last year of col-
lege eligibility, and was assigned to
their Single A affiliate. Pittsfield.
Within the first couple of days of
training. Pileski overextended his
arm and strained his shoulder. He
tried to play through the injury, but
nnallv was examined by the team
p.Sysician. The team physician said
that it was a recurring injury suf-
fered during his career at UMass.
and Pileski was subsequently
released
In eight games he was hitting
.161 (5-for-5l) with one double,
four runs batted in and was suc-
cessful in his only attempt at steal-
ing a base.
Pileski underwent corrective
surgery Aug. 24 to repair his shoul-
der and will begin his six-month
rehabilitation at that point. He
feels he will be able to be part of
Mark Pileski
another organization at some point
in the future.
"I am going to concentrate on my
classes for the fall and work out as
much as I can with the team."
Pileski said. "Then I will concen-
trate solely on my rehab and not
take classes in the spring. Hopefully
then I can try out for a major league
club and catch on somewhere.'
Pileski had undergone surgery
last October on the same arm but
his doctor said this current injury is
non-related.
All-lime home run and RBI
leader Bill Knighi. after being
selected in the 21st round by the
Oakland Athletics, has struggled
while playing for the Southern
Oregon Athletics. He played his
first professional game on June 16
and went O-for-2 with one run
scored. Knight's best day at the
plate for the .A's was Aug. 50.
when he went 5-for-4. with 2 runs
scored and a double.
,As of August 5 1 . Knight was hit-
ting 217 i2«-for-I29) with two
homeruns. 19 RBI and 21 runs
scored.
In his senior year at UMass.
Knight shattered the record books
on one swing, a three-run blast
against Hartford, to break the home
run and RBI records, previously 52
and 155. respectively. He ended
with 45 homers and 171 RBI
L'nlike some of his former team-
mates Ryan |etie had an impressive
summer. Playing on the Central

England College Baseball League in
batting average and stolen bases,
and was named the leauge M\'P
while helping lead the Collegians to
the league title. His UMass team-

males Chad Sullivan. Jeff Pulieri
and Brad Gorrie were also mem-
bers of the squdd.
Minuteman Adrian Softie. Scott
Bamsby and David Dan are also in
the league playing for the
Waterburv Barons.
Shortly after Pileski was released
by the Pittsfield Mets. his former
teammate Andy Pelis signed on as
a free agent. The former UMass
catcher was playing with the
Northampton Teddy Bear Pools
team of the Tri-Cuunty League
before he signed.
Pells' stats with the Mets were
not available as of press time.
At UMass. Pelis was a three-year
starter behind the plate and was
one of the key players in UMass'
march to the A- io title. In his
career as a Minuteman. Pelis batted
510 with 126 hits. 88 RBI and 14
HRs. His best season was his
senior year when he hit .557 with

Big surprises
throughout AL
Each season as September rolls around, fans of .Major
League Baseball begin to reflect on the season behind
them, as they start to look ahead to the post season.
This year is no exception. As New Englanders drool
over the fact that there will be baseball in Fenway Park
come October, many fans are looking back at the summer.
And while a few can say of the '95 season, "I told you so."
most simply shake their heads in disbelief.
One of the
greatest things
about our
National Pastime
is that every year
is filled with sur-
prises. This col-
umn will take a
look back at
those surprises in the American League, as well as a few of
my own personal. "I told you so's."
• Barring an incident, today marks the day Cal Ripken
will play his 2.151st game in a row, eclipsing the greai
Lou Gehrig in consecutive games played.
When "Iron Cal" steps out of the dugout tonight, he will
step into baseball immortality.
It should come as no shock to anyone that Ripken has
accomplished this amazing feat. In this age of. "Coach, sii
me. I have a paper cut,' Cal's resiliency has made him a
legend.
• .All right. Sox fans, here it is. The BoSox have been
one of the biggest surprises in the junior circuit. Mom
baseball fans, myself included, would have told you thai
the biggest question the Red Sox would be answering in
September would be whether to bench Mike Crccnwell to
get a look at rookie lose Malavc. Instead the debate rages
over who should start Game One of the playoffs.
U'hat is the reason for the surging Sox? It's hard to put
a finger on it. Part of it has to do with the fact thai the
Orioles have faltered and the Yankees piayroll averages out
to be costing owTier George Sleinbrenncr something like
$500,000 a vkin.
However, it has as much to do with names like
WakcPield. O'Lcary. Nachring. Hanson. Cormier. Tinsley
and Belinda. Proven losers who suddenly and miraculous
ly figured out how to win.
Don't try to figure it out. You won't be able to. fust sit
back and enjoy.
• Speaking of those rivals in pinstripes, just what hap
pened to the Yankees? This one is a bit easier to explain,
and I'll gladly pat myself on the back for not jumping on
their bandwagon in April.
First of all. the loss of last year's ace |immy Key to
injury proved devastating. People thought lack McDowell
was the answer, but neither he nor mid-season acquisition
David Cone has approached Key's success.
In addition, too many Yanks had career years last sea-
son, and their infield, minus Pal Kelly, is aging. Also, the
"Bronx Bombers" are without a true bomber. It will be a
stretch for any pinstriper to hit 25 home runs.
Add into that equation the fact that much heralded clos-
er. |ohn WetieUnd. the game's best stopper last season,
has faltered with the Yanks, and you have an answer that
approaches negative numbers.

ers, five being freshman, which Dixon
deems "really out of the ordinary."
"This year I'm looking for a season
above .5CX). One of our goals is to
win New Englands and win 75 per-
cent of our matches." Dixon said.
That's a feasible goal, especially
with the arrival of their new No 1
player. Lex Canjngton.
"I Lex] is definitely the best player
UMass has ever had,' Dixon said.
"He will definitely be a contender in
the sectionals in September."
Carrington is a local talent from
Easthampton. Mass., who was a mem-
ber of the U.S. lunior National Team
and played in the doubles final of the
1<)92 |r. Australian Open. Carrington
has 2 1/2 years of eligibility. Dixon is
dep>ending on Carrington to anchor
the team with returning senior co-
captain Justin Lynn."That's going to
mean a lot to the team to have some-
one of his caliber," Dixon said.
lustin Lynn played No. 4 singles
and won that grouping at the New
England Championships last year.
Dixon said Lynn "will probably move
up and hold the team."
Darren Tau was at No. 5 singles
last year and at various doubles posi-
tions. Dixon said that Tau will
remain around No. 4 or No. 5 for the
fall season.
Sophomore Alex Allen of Peru was
the No. 6 singles player last year and
a perfect record marred by only two
losses. "He had a great year as a walk
on." Dixon said She also said that
Ankur Bayshu will play anywhere
from No. 2 to No. 5 this season.
New members include Nathan
Klooster. Mike Skeels. laon Blind.
Leonard Davis, Todd Chaney and
Ryan Ginley.
The men's tough matches for the
upcoming season will be against

Hockey
Mallen tries to catch up with rest of Hockey East
By Molt Vautour
Collegian StaH
.After a 6 28-2 season in its first season of Division I and
Hotkey East play, the Massachusetts hockey team is look-
ing to take another >.iep forward. The question for coach
loe Mallen and his troops is how big that step will be.
While the record itself is unimpressive, the magnitude
I I ihc wins that the team had was In addition to wins
over Ami). Notre Dame, and Providence. UMass toppled
No. 1 Maine, and beat Boston College twice, including
once in the Hockey East playoffs.
They showed flashes of considerable promise in what
was otherwise a year of learning. With a year of valuable
experience under their belts, the Minutemen have an
opportunity to make that step a big one.
Defense
Mallen makes no secrets about his desire for size on
the blueline. \V hile his defensemen didn't lack size a year
ago. at times thiv lacked the experience to know how to
use it.
"V1> model i> biiili on havinj! bigger guys, but they have to have
gtxxi himdv and they have w have good feet. They cant just be
big.- Mallen *aiil "When I think about freshmen, they've never
really been made to plav defense the proper way. For me the
adjusimeni is ie*.hing them how to play defense, and ho* to work
isigelher within the icani siructure to shut the other team down."
After taking their lumps at time* last year. Mallen is
confident that the unit will be solid this year.
"I think we're really building a super set of defense-
men." Mallen said. "I'm not sure how good they're
going to be this year but I think that they're going to
improve."
Offense
For the third straight season, opposing defenses will
focus on shutting down junior forward Rob Bonneau
One year of Hockey East experience could prove valu-
able for the Springfield native. .A full season of Sal
Manganaro and |on jaques will be crucial for the
Minutemen who hope to rise into the middle of the
pack.
Coaltcnder
Sophomore Brian Regan could be the key to how far
UMass goes. The New Milford. Conn, native emerged as
the No. I goalie down the stretch for Massachusetts last
year, highlighted by a 51 save performance in the win
over Maine. A member of Hockey East's All Rookie Team
a year ago. if Regan continues to improve at last year's
pace, he has a chance to be among the best in the confer-
ence.
Senior Dave Kilduff will see considerable action as
well, while Rich Moriarty fights lor playing time.
Schedule
As UMass gets stronger, su dues ihe siniigih ol the
schedule. In addition to a full Hockey East schedule, the
Minutemen will face Cornell twice. Air Force. Army.
Rensselaer. Yale, Vermont and Princeton. The Division
III teams are gone from the slate, making every night a
battle.
"We have improved our schedule again for the third
time in three years." Mallen said. "There are no division
three teams. Vermont I think is going to be a great
rivalry. Yale should be a natural being right down
Route '^l."
With a better knowledge of what to expect in the con-
ference UMass has set goals for the upcoming season.
■'.After one year, we certainly have a clearer picture of
how tough Hockey East really is. We know what to
expect." Mallen said. "My goals are to double the number
of wins we had in Hcvkey East, and double the number of
wins over all. Those are realistic goals that everyone in the
liKker riKini can shoot for.
"Hopefully we can attain those goals during the season.
so we'll have a chance to exctx'd them."
Notes: Hockey East has modified its playoff system.
Each series will have a best of three format, with the
semi finals and finals to be played in the FleetCenter. The
No. 8 seed versus the No. 9 seed game has been eliminat-
ed, as the No. 9 seed will not make the post season...
UMass has already received a commitment for next year
from Toronto native Jeff Blanchard. In addition to being a
top recruit. Blanchard is also the nephew of former Bruin
great Bobby Orr
Dennis Wright celebrates after a goal against Merrimack last season UMass will take on the Warriors the first weekend in November.

American League
Cross Country
conttnued from page DIO
The one American League team
that has been making a lot of noise
lately in their hunt for a Wild Card
is... The Seattle Mariners?
Yes, that's right, the Mariners,
who have finished over .500 just
once in their 18-year existence, are
striking fear in the hearts of many AL
managers.
TTie M's have probably the league's
best pitcher in fireballer Randy
lohnson. And if he's not the best, the
6- foot- 10 inch lohnson is easily the
most intimidating.
Keeping in mind that a first round
playoff series is only best of five, the
Red Sox. who are the only team that
can play the Mariners in the first
round, would have to face lohnson
twice. This makes for a very frighten-
ing possibility for Sox fans.
Don't stop cringing Fenway faith-
ful, because it gets even worse. The
M's lineup has shaped up into one of
the best in baseball. Seattle has a
legitimate chance to have four players
drive in 100 runs, and that does not
even include Ken GrilTey, |r., possi-
bly the games most feared hitter.
lay Buhner, Mike Blowers (both
Yankee castoffs) and the Martinezes.
Edgtr and Tino (no relation), are all
among the best hitters at their posi-
tions, and each had over 80 ribbies
before the end of August.
• As for the Wild Card, who is the
genius who thought up this system?
Home field advantage was guaran-
teed to the AL East and West champs
before the season started.
This means that the Cleveland
Indians, who have run away with
everything this season, will be playing
either California or Boston without
the advantage of home field!
FurthentKwe, the winner of the first
round match-up with the AL West
winner, possibly a wild card team.
gets the advantage in the next round.
Hypothetically speaking, this could
mean the Yankees hosting the
Indians in the League Championship
Series. Go figure this one!
Since the NL hosts this year's World
Series, that means Cleveland, with the
best record in baseball, could go
through the entire playoffs without
enjoying home field advantage once!
This is simply absurd, with a capital A.
• One more point. Hats off to Phil
Gamer artd the Milwaukee Brewers.
Manager Gamer has the Brew crew,
baseball's smallest market, in the
Wild Card hunt with one of the
league's lowest payrolls.
Despite the fact that no starter's
ERA is under four, and their only big
name, Greg Vaughn, has struggled.
players like B.|. Surhoff. |ohn |aha
and Kevin Seitzer have Milwaukee
thinking playoffs.
Despite all this. I'll bet Brewers
fans would trade owner Bud Sclig to
get Troy O'Lcary back.

nist.

impact on the new look Atlantic 10.
The loss of perennial league favorite
West Virginia brings a sigh of relief
for only a moment upot\ the realiza-
tion that Virginia Tech, which finished
last season in the Top 20 in the coun-
try, will join the A- 10 race. Virginia
Tech is the pre- season favorite to
take home the Conference crown, fol-
lowed by Massachusetts, St. loseph's

have the Dodgers in the hunt.
Nomo, the first lapanese player
since the 60's, leads the league in
strikeouts by a great margin, and
has left hitters baffled with his
unorthodox delivery and mix of
fastballs and sliders.
• Moving away from the race
and into the cellar, it is good to see
that the New York Mets stink and
know it. They have unloaded super-
stars such as Bret Saberhagen aiKl
Bobby Bonilla for some great
prospects. For the first time since
they won the Worid Series in 1986,
they have placed the brown paper
bags over their heads while they
wait for the prospects to devek>p.
Staying with the Mets, Darryl
Strawberry was a great Met. a
good Dodger, a mediocre Giant,
and a washed up Yankee. I realize
this is a National League column,
but the guy has been through drug
rehab after drug rehab. Yankee
owner George Sleinbrenner will
not get the New York Met every-
one loved to watch. In fact.
Strawberry's last big hit is what
got him thrown into rehab.

Overall the team is solid from top
to bottom. Seniors Ethan Nedcau and
Marc Buffone, along with juniors
lohn Way and Paul Blodom, provide
terrific point scoring potential for the
Minutemen.
'"We had 10 guys over the course
of last year who were in and out of
the lop seven," O'Brien said. "And
out of those we only lost one (Rick
Copley) to graduation, so we do have
the numbers."
With the strengths that this UMass
squad has now built up its program
with, their greatest expectation can
be reached.
"Our goal each year is to win the
A- 10 Championships," O'Brien said.
"We have a strong schedule and we
will prepare ourselves to do so. We
will be ready for that meet and go
into it with the intentions of winning
the Ciiampionship."
"We definitelv want to win the
A- 10 Championship," Biel agrees.
"That and finishing in the top four at
the IC4A's I think are high, but
reachable goals for us."
Before that stage of the season, the
Minutemen will run against some of
the stiffest competition in the country.
First the team travels to Boston to face
Boston College, lona Northeastern
and Michigan. The Wolverines will be
the measuring stick the Minutemen
will use to see how good they really
are. Michigan finished the year ranked
No. 7 natioruilly.
Three weeks later is the Paul Short
Inviiatiottal which is regarded as one
of the most competitive Invitational
races in the country.
Biel is very excited upon the out-
look of the season.
"We return our top five runners
and if we stay healthy, there is no
reason we won't have a great year."
he said.

Cal Ripken to break 'unbreakable' record tonight
Matt Voutour
Collegian Staff
W'hiii were you doing on May 30. 1482?
It Nou'ie not sure, don't be alamied When Cal Ripken
wiilkcd out to the infield that day. it didn't seem like
niu^h Bui 15 years later, when
Ripken steps on the field toda\
He will betume immortal.
Ripken will surpass Lou Gehrig
tonight, when he plays in his
2. n 1 St (.onsecutive game.
When Ripken started the
streak. Ronald Reagan was
President. E.T. hadn't reached the
bo\ office and the Milwaukee
Brcvuer^ were on their way to the
\\ Olid Series.
Current college freahman
weren't eten in kindergarten yet.
.\ lot has changed in baseball
since then .■^ lot of it for the bad.
but Ripken still plays baseball
the way it was meant to be
played
\Vhile even baseball fans don't
remember what they were doing
when the streak started, long after
today has passed, fans will remem-
ber today.
• With the rise of the Patriots
and current success of the Red
Sox. interest surrounding the
Bruins in New England had been
clearly laggirig. especially after a
first riiund exit from the playoffs.
The i>nce proud Bruins were
dangerously close to tailing into
the same w>.>eful abyss currently inhabited by the Celtics.
Then Harry intervened . .
.As he ha> done so many time* in the past. Bruins GM
Harry Sinden made a trade that could re energize the
franchise Biinging locals Kevin Stevens and Shawn
McEachem to Bo>ton will make the FleetCenter a more
exciting place to watch hockey, and will make the Bruins
a Stanley Cup contender once again.
\eely. Ray Bourque and a healthy .Al lafrate would be the
league's best.
• Does lose Canseco not have the fastest bat speed
you've ever seen?
• lor everything Monica Seles has been through in the
past two years, her return to tennis at the Canadian Open
was clearly a satisfying event.
.After Mats Wilander left ten-
nis during the li^SO's. he
returned as a shadow of his for-
mer talent. There was specula-
tion that Seles might have suf
fered the same demise. But
while her grunts may have been
a bit rusty, she was on the top
of her game. With the US Open
approaching quickly, it appears
that the l>est talent in women's
tennis is back.
• What might be the most
satisfying thing about the Red
Sox flying by the Yankees is
knowing that the know -it-all
New York media is all eating
crow sandwiches. W'hen the
Bronx Bummers got within
lour and a half games, the New
^'ork press said that a Red Sox
fall was inevitable, and that the
■^ankees would cruise to the
series.
Wrong! While the Sox are
battling in playoffs, the
N ankees will be Tighting to stay
under par in October.
• The Celtics are better off
with no offense than they were
with lX)ininique Wilkins.
Are there any coaching opportunities for ML. Carr in
Greece? That would be the real answer.
When Milwaukee selected Gary Trent on draft night,
the Celtics brass was visibly disappointed abtiut having to
settle for F.ric Williams, but Carr bellied up to the podi-
um, taped on his fake smile and said:
"Ignore any emotions you saw up there. We got our
guy."
Marcus Camby hopes to be 'Duncan'
over Wake Forest this season when the
Demon Deacons come to Mullins.
The potential power play of Stevens. Adam Gates. Cam I believe the Celtics have only two non-players in their
organization with any semblance of a clue. Larry Bird and
intern (and former WMUA sports director) Paul
Cacciatore.
Speaking of clueless organizations, why did Charlotte
draft George Zidek with Travis Best still on the board?
• Potentially the best one-on-one match up in college
hoop will take place Dec. 6
in the Mullins Center, when
Tim Duncan and Wake
Forest take on Marcus
Camby and Massachusetts.
Big men draw all kinds of
attention and these two are
the best in the business. If
you can't see this one. don't
miss Camby and Louisville's
Samaki Walker in UMass'
final game of the season.
It's never too early to start
thinking about hoop at
UMass.
• Is there anyone ever, that

What's next for the
Hurricane that was barely a
summer sprinkle? McNeely
would be a natural in the
World Wrestling Federation.
Under the completely irrel-
evant file. McNeely and
UMass hiK'key's Brad Norton
are cousins. You can be sure
the radio announcers might have fun with that one.
"... And Brad Norton wraps his opponent into a cocixin
of horror..."
There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that Don King
is trying to set up a McNeely-Tommy Morrison show-
down.
• BC is on television a lot this year, a great opportunity

Nice exposure. ». u i
Trivia question: Who is more overexposed than Michael
liickson Newt Gingrich and O). Simpson?
Answer: Wannabe tough guy Pete
Kendall.
Why is Pete Kendall getting this
much press? He's an offensive tackle.
So what if he talks trash? Shut up
already! Doug Flutie never got this

anything to do with Miller's removal.
We'll never know, but his firing

formance.
Regardless, the UMass fans, and
his colleagues in the media will miss
George Miller.
• Speaking of departures, the
Athletic Media Relations Department
will miss Lamar Chance, who has
departed for Ole Miss. There is no
classier guy in the business. He'll
enjoy his return to the South, but it's
hard to imagine Lamar without a

fans a glimpse of what sports, its
heroes and especially ba.seball meant to our parents
For them the image of Mick was one of life, vitality and
youth. Mantle's death made a whole generation feel a little
bit older.
WEEI's Craig Mustard made his call-in show a
"Memories of Mick" segment, the next day. It brought out
memories of when baseball really was the national pas-
time, an institution that defined America.

New Atlantic 10
gets mixed reviews
By Justin C. Smith &
Matt Voutour
Collagion Staff
The dawning of a new era.
.As the Atlantic 10 begins the I W5
fall season, the conference will have a
decidedly different look to it. Cone
are Rutgers and West Virginia, who
have defected to the Big East In their
place, the A- 10 has added five teams
to expand to a 12-team conference.
loining ihc league are Xavier.
Dayton. LaSalle, Virginia Tech and
Fordham.
The addition expands its influence
into new parts of the country as well
as strengthening itself in its current
markets.
"This brings us into some strong
new markets." said Massachusetts'
athletic director Bob Marcum.
"Getting into Cincinnati is good.
Virginia Tech will be a strong pro-
gram, lor the league."
The conference will be split into a
two-<li\ ision formal. In the East will
be Massachusetts. Fordham. Rhtxle
Island. Si Bonaventure. St Joseph's
and Temple, with the West consisting
of Dayton. Duquesne. George
Washington. LaSalle. Virginia Tech
and Xavier
"This is an exciting time in the
Atlantic 10." said commissioner
Linda Bruno. "Tile .Atlantic 10 is now

Riciiard F. Garber
still without turf
Fans need action,
not disagreements
By Matt Voutour
Collegian Staff
After the last season's final home
field hockey game. Megan Donnelly
cut herself a piece of sod out of
Totman Field.
She's going to have to put it back.
Donnelly took the piece as a sou-
venir, because the game was sup-
posed to be the last at Totman.
Ma.ssachusetts' Gov Bill Weld intro-
duced a bill to the state legislature
that would provide money to benefit
women's athletics at all three
University of Massachusetts' campus-
es in hopes of meeting and exceeding
regulations impviscd by the Title IX
gender equity laws.
The Amherst Campus was targeted
to get improved locker rooms, an
astroturf surface and lights al
Richard F. Garber Field, a renovated
Softball facility, and new shells,
motors, and launches for the
women's crew team.
The bill was expected to pass in
time to have the turf ready for the
1995 fall season
It didn't happen.
The bill passed in the House of
Representatives, but has yet to draw a
vote in the Senate The bill is exptxted
to be one of the first that the Senate
looks at in the upcoming session.
Massachusetts athletic director
Bob Marcum expects good results.
"We're now wailing for the Senate
ways and means committee to act on
the bill. The House looked at it very
positively, so 1 would expect the
Senate to be similar." Marcum said.
"Anytime you're dealing with facili-
ties, it's going to lake lime. The most
important thing is the end result, and
1 think we're going to have a positive
one."
If the Senate passes the bill quick
ly. it is still possible that the turf
could be ready for lacrosse season.
While the turf remains tangled in
bureaucracy, the Minutewomen will
return to the grass of Totman Field.
The Atlantic 10 Field Hockey
Tournament, which was also sched-
uled to be played at UMass has «lso
been moved to Temple, because tour-
nament regulations require a turf site.
Senior defender Andrea Cabral
expressed frustration at the lack of
turf.
"I would have liked to have turf,
because it's a disadvantage not to."
Cabral said.
The lack of turf has long been an
issue at UMass. specifically in regards
to field hockey and lacrosse.
Artificial surfaces are prevalent
thK)ughoui most of the top programs
in Division I field hockey. Some
teams have avoided putting UMass on
their schedule, because of the lack of
turf, l^st season. UMass had to play
two would-be home games at neutral
sites (Westfield State and Boston
College), because their opponents
refused to face the Minutewomen on
grass. In anticipation of the new sur-
face, the coaching staff has begun to
recruit players whose skills are more
geared toward a lurf game as well.

Who do you cheer for when no one
is playing?
Chances are if you follow a sport
closely, that favorite team to root for
has had either an abbreviated season
or some sort of work stoppage in the
past year. Since August 12. 1994.
three of the lour major professional
sports have either been on strike or
had a lockout.
After the comple-
tion of this past sea-
son, the NBA became
the latest sport to
cease operation. No games have been
effected as of yet and if they learn
from the mistakes made by other pro-
fessional leagues, they can avoid the
cold shiiulder given by the fans,
which baseball and hockey teams
have had to endure
Majt)r League Baseball was on a
strike for nearly eight months and the
National Hockey League players were
locked out for nearly five months.
Both spiirts have had to work hard to
get their fans back, because of all that
was lost over the past year. The 1 994
baseball season can be all but washed
away. For the first time since 1904
there was no World Sciies Champion.
San Francisco's Matt Williams was
giving serious chase to Roger Maris'
record of 61 home runs in a season.
He had 4'5 homers with almost two
months left Giants fans reluctantly
had to stop counting.
Don Matlingly and the New York
Yankees were running away with the
American League East. Finally the man
whose sport was his nickname. Donny
Baseball, was going to get a taste of the
Justin Smith
post-season. Then came the strike.
Now he may never gel the chance.
Bronx Bomber fans were bummed.
After the New York Rangers edged
the Vancouver Canucks in the seventh
game to win their first Stanley Cup in
54 years, the entire post-season was
dubbed as one of the most exciting
ever. The league was at its most inai-
ketable. especially to American fans
who often looked on
hockey as basketball's
little sister. Interest
was at its peak and the
1994-95 season was set to improve
on the past year.
It came within days of not even hap-
pening. After the two sports settled
their disputes, the big question was:
would the fans lake them back afier all
that was lost?
Answer: In niodcralioii.
Baseball has suffered the wrath of
its fans the most. It's the national pas-
lime and the strike had tarnished its
relationship with the working class
fan. Hockey suffered a similar sirug
gle with its fans. Fhe turnstiles in
American hiK'key cities were operat-
ing al the same rate, but it was a dif
fereni story north of the border.
Hockey is to Canadians as baseball
is to Americans; and like baseball fans.
Canadians showed their displeasure as
attendance plummeted almost 50 per-
cent when hockey returned to the
country of the Maple leaf.
Promotions have been common

year. Kansas City opened its gates to

Despite size questions, the Detroit Pistons felt that Lou Roe was
too good to pass up at No. 30.
By Matt Voutour
Collegian Staff
For the Massachusetts basket-
ball program it was a milestone,
but that didn't stop Lou Roe from
being disappointed.
Roe. who finished his career at
Massachusetts last season, was
drafied by the i:)etroit Pistons as
the first pick of the second round
()Oth overall) in the 1995 NBA
Drafi.
He capped his collegiate career
with a stellar senior season in
which he led the Minutemen in
scoring and rebounding. That per-
fomiance. in combination with his
work ethic and heart, made many
experts believe that Roe would be
picked some time late in the first
round With a rookie salary cap
appearing to be a lock in the
future, underclassmen declared
the eligibility for the draft in
droves, forcing Roc deeper into
the drafi.
Following the season however.
Roe's stock began to fall as he fell
into the dreaded "man without a
position" trap. Al 6-fool-6
I/2-inch. 222 pounds, many
scouts believed that Roe was a
small forward with a power for-
ward's mentality. The Pistons are
expected to try to convert Roe
into a small forward, with an
expanded perimeter game.
■| think they want me to play
behind Grant Hill." Roe said.
"They're not really sure, but I'll
find a place to play."
Roe has hung his hat on prov-
ing the doubters wrong through-
out his career and plans on con-
tinuing to do that in the NBA.
"I've been a guy people have
always doubted." Roe said. "This
just makes me hungrier than I
already was."
Roe watched the draft from a
conference room in the Trump
Plaza Flotel in Atlantic City
accompanied by his agent Ed
Lawson. family, friends and sever-
al members of the media.
Both Lawson and R(k* felt that
Detroit appeared to be a gcnxl fit
for the 1995 Atlantic 10 Player of
the Year.
"I think Detroit is a good situa-
tion for him." Lawson said.
"This team supports me a lot
and obviously they feel good
about iheir decision." Roe said.
The current NBA lockout has
kept Roe from being able to work
out with his new team. The work
stoppage has terminated the
usual rookie camps and barred
settlements, and threatens the
November start of the regular
season. However, Roc has not
ruled out possibly playing in
Europe.

the fans for the first series of
the season to ease the pain and
avoid a boycott of the Royals
by its hometown loyalists. The
most creative promotion has
been fitsm the Mariners organi-
zation: 'lay Buhner Night."
Admission was free if you
shaved your head to emulate the
Seattle rightfielder. They filled
entire sections of the Kingdome

• Though they were threat-
ening to depart for the hockey
hotbed of Nashville, the New
jersey Devils brought their fans
to the Brendan Byme Arena to
watch them skate off with
hockey's Holy Grail. In Detroit,
they were paying top dollar for
octopi, just to toss those slimy,
eight-legged delicacies on the
ice at |oe Louis Arena, in hopes
it would bring the longest cur-
rent drought without a Red
Wing Stanley Cup to an end.
The only way the owners and
players can accommodate their
extraordinary pay stubs, is to
keep the fans coming through
the gates, which happens at a
swifter pace when teams are
winning games. So, to these
sports I leave the words of
Oakland Raider's owner Al
Davis, "lust win, baby.'
And they can't win if they
don't play.

UConn, New Hampshire and
Vermont. Dixon has a lot of confi-
dence in her starting line-up.
"We have a lot of depth from our
reluming players, and we've added a
superb No. 1." Dixon said. "With the
freshmen it's hard to tell. I have no
line-up in mind and only nine days to
get ready. But all 12 could be stariers
at any other schools,' Dixon said.
The women's team is a stronger
and more mature one this year, as the
1994 squad was mainly freshituui.
"Last year, we lost four matches by
one fxjint. We lost every close one. 1
hope that we'll win those this year.
That'll show how we've matured."
Five of last year's starters were
freshman and now are experienced
sophomores. Dixon had hi^ expecta-
tions for last year's team and hopes
that they will step up a level this com-
ing year. 'Last year, we finished higher
than any women's team in UMass his-
tory." Dixon said. 'We (placed) sec-
ond at New Englands last year. Our
goal is to win New Englands this fall."
Dixon's team v/ill be lead by the
well-rounded talents of No. 1 singles
player LiesI Sitton. 'She is the great-
est female player UMass has ever
seen, for sure." Dixon said.
Sitton has lost only six games so
far in her three year UMass career. In
addition to her singles success. Dixon
has called Sitton the 'best doubles
player in New England.'
Noelle Orsini. who Dixon will be
looking to for better concentration
and better performance as a sopho-
more, will also be retuming.Caroline
Steele will return as the No. I dou-
bles plaving partner and Dixon looks
for her to step up her game.
Co-captain Liz Durant will be the
foundation for the No. 2 doubles
pair. Dixon said that she had a great
fall season last year, winning New
England's in her division. Lana
Gorodetskaya will hold No. 3 doubles
and will be better this year as a result
of more match play. Amy Sidran
played sporadically at singles and dou-
bles last year aixl will hold on to that
role, according to Dixon. She has
added two recruits to the fall roster.
Jackie Braunstein from Florida and
Marie Christine Caron of Quebec.
'Both were recruited for their ath-
letic ability and doubles expertise.'
Dixon said. 'We've been weak in No.
2 and No. 3 doubles and it's been our
downfall. These two will give us
much added strength at the No. 2 and
3 doubles and who's going to win will
all come dovtm to those spots.'
The toughest matches on the
women's schedule include Providctjce.
Army. UConn and Rutgers.
Due to a new NCAA rule, these
teams are restricted from holding
organized pre-season practices,
according to Dixon. This year, she
was forced to watch tapes of her new
players' abilities, rather than see
them in person.
But Dixon is still optimistic about
the first match against Boston
University.
"No preseason is tough,' Dixon
said. 'I've vioittcn letters to tell them
to be fit, telling them to run three
'miles and do X amount of push-uf»s
and sit-ups. I've told the freshmen
that if they come back ready to play,
they will get a chance."

divisions. If we had to play every-
body then our schedule would be
so weak we wouldn't have had a
much of a chance to make the
post-season. The way it is now we
get lo play four and can play a
good non-conference schedule as
well."
• In men's cross country, peren-
nial power West Virginia will be
missed, but according to UMass
coach Ken O'Brien, Virginia Tech
will be an adequate replacement.
"We lose the team that is always
the one to beat in West Virginia,
but they are in effect replaced by
Virginia Tech. a team that finished
in the top 20 last year." said
O'Brien, who added that LaSalle
would also be a good addition.
'LaSalle is just like us and St. loe's.
Always contending and dangerous
if everything comes together."
• With perennial powerhouse
Rutgers out of the picture. UMass
becomes one of the favorites to
capture the men's soccer crown.
With only four playoff spots
available. Massachusetts coach
Sam Koch expects the conference
to become even more competitive.
'You have 12 teams and just
four spots in the playoffs. VT.
we'll find out how good they are.
Xavier is one of the favorite
teams, and we play there," Koch
said. "We lost a premier team in
Rutgers. They've been a Fina'
Four team and they're always a
top 20 team. To lose them doesn't
help the league at all, but other
teams have really stepped it up.
URI is going to be a very tough
team. GW is a very talented team.
Other teams are going to pick it
up."
• The Atlantic 10 obviously did
not have volleyball in mind. With
the exception of Xavier (23-1 1),
the new squads had a combined
record of 35-95. for a winning
percentage of .269 a year ago.

is increased preparation and number
of games. The often rainy/snowy
weather of the early spring in New
England makes grass fields unplayable,
forcing a considerable portion of
lacrosse's preseason practice to take
place on parking lots and inside
Boyden Gymnasium. An artificial sur-
face would give the lacrosse squads a
weather proof surface, that would also
allow the teams to schedule home
games earlier in the season as well.
Donnelly said that her team can't
afford to dwell on the delay.
"We understand that things take
time. It's not here and we can't worry
about it.* she said. "We're disap-
pointed. We were hoping to get the
turf, but the turf will be in.'
While as a coach, the lack of turf is
a negative, but as a former player at
UMass, Donnelly is glad lo gel a
chance to create a little more history
on Totman Field.
'In a really stupid way. I'm kind of
glad we're playing on Totman again,*
she said. 'Because as an alum, I
wasn't ready for that field to be
gone.'

Field Hockey
Field hockey must overcome schedule, graduation
By Matt Vautour
Collegian Shjff
Great teams win games, but great programs find ways
to keep winning. Despite the loss of five key contributors
from last years squad (12-3-5). and a schedule that fea-
tures all of the nation's top four teams in the preseason
polls. Massachusetts field hockey is expecting another
successful season.
"I think we have the potential for a good balanced team
that can take on anybixjy." said second-yeai coach Megan
Donnelly, who is pleased with her team so far. "They've
Ciiiiic in at a good fitness level. They've obviously worked
hard in the summer. They've done their part to be ready
lo go."
Offense
Scoring was the team's most glaring deficiency a year
ago. and of the 2b goals that the team scored. 14 were
scored by seniors Danielle Borges and Natalie Hart, leav-
ing observers to wonder where the scoring will come from
in I'i'JS.
One potential answer is Kyle Rothenbcrger The junior
All America candidate has a knack fur scoring goals in
big games, and with her hard shot, she may replace Hart
av the team's primary option on j>enalty comers.
Powerful shots are an entity that Donnelly feels the
team has an abundance of this year, which she expects so
be an advantage on the penalty comer.
"We can hit the crap out of the ball this year." Donnelly
said "It's person after person. They're ripping the cover
off the ball."
Outside of the penalty comers. Donnelly look.s for sev-
eral players to step up on offense.
"I think you'll see a lot of quick passes, instead of more
solo attacks." Donnelly said. "This year the individuals
will be a lot more invisible, and you'll see the team going
on attack. 1 think we're going to see the scoring spread
out a lot. I think it's going to be really balanced."
Senior co-captain Strcya Volla is a probable starter.
while sophomore Missy Sweeney's solid freshman season
should translate into considerable playing time as well
Sharon Hughes, who redshirted last season due to
mononucleosis, could be in the forward mix. but Donnelly
said that Hughes' versatility could translate into action in
at a variety of positions
Freshmen Erica lohnston and Greenfield native Kale
Puinam have been sharp in the preseason and will also
gel a chance to contribute and potentially crack the start-
ing lineup.
Midiield
Rothenberger is a lock at the center midfielder, but the
rest in uncertain With the graduation of four-year starter
Colleen Duffy and Amy Ott's conversion to sweeper,
there will be plenty of playing lime available in the mid
fielder. Senior Kerry Meielski and sophomore Courtney
MacLean will probably both see time at forward as well
as midfield |cn Culunan could figure into the mix here
as well as on defense.
Defense
Much of the success thai ihe UMass field hockey pro-
gram has achieved over the years can be atiributc'd to the
tradition of excellence on defense. The 1995 unit expects
to live up to the standards set by its predecessors despite
losing three starters.
In goal will be junior Slacy Walker, who replace-
Atlantic 10 Player-of- the- Year Hilary Rose. (See related
story about Walker).
Walker will be backed up by walk on freshman
Theresa Thompson.
Senior Andrea Cabral will start for her third con.secu-
tive season, and Donnelly expects her to be a leader.
"Andrea is tough, gritty, and she's the one they look to
for an example." Donnelly said.
Cabral will likely be joined by fellow returning starter
Mclanie Gore in the backfield. Sophomore Tiffany
Clark, who stepped in admirably when Gore was injured
during the .A- 10 tournament last year, appears to be the
front runner to fill the center back position vacated by
Kyri Sparks.
The is no way to replace the multi and diversely laleni-
ed Hart, but Donnelly is confident that the team will be
strong in the sweeper position.
Amy Oil, who split time between forward and midfield
a year ago. was converted lo sweeper by her summer
coach and kK)ks to be the leader at that spot.
.After sitting out the 1994 campaign with a medical red
shirt (torn anterior cruciate ligament) Gutzman has also
relumed to action, and will could get playing lime at any
of the defensive spots, and could play midfield as well.
Donnelly points to the speed of her defense as a major
asset.
"We're going to have a faster defense this year."
Donnelly said "What we lack in experience, we're going
to make up in speed."
Freshmen
Ask Donnelly about her freshman class, and she will
immediately get excited.
Johnston and Puinam come in touted highly, after
being heavily sought after as high school seniors. The two
competed in the Olympic festival and have been solid in
preseason. Donnelly considers both players offensive
threats.
Laura Pheian, will attempt to follow not only in the
UMass defensive tradition, but in family tradition. Her sis-
ter Kathy was a -landoul defender ai UMass as well.
The most intriguing new comer may be Davis, Calif,
native Katharine McClellan Her height and hilling
power could give her u ireniendims presence on the field.
Donnelly describes her as a "quick learner, with a great
feel for the game."
Invited walk-<^ins Kim Lamson and |ana Benscoter will
likely see limited playing time in 1995. but Donnelly con-
siders them potential contributors in the future.
"I think the frcNhmen will step up." IX)nnelly said. "As
a group, they have good experience, and have played dur-
ing the summer. I think they are going to be part of a real
strong nucleus over the next two or three years."

Field Hockey
Walker learns lessons from Rose,
has the confidence to take over
By Matt Vautour
ColUgkm Staff
For Slacy Walker it has always
been a mental battle, only this lime
she's winning.
After three years on the sidelines
for the Massachusetts field hockey
team. Walker, a rtdshirt junior, is the
No. 1 goalkeeper.
It's a different Slacy Walker how-
ever. The goalie, who admits to a
lack of confidence earlier in her
career, is walking tall this season.
"I was sort of shaky, not very con-
Fideni, not really sure about gelling
all the balls," Walker said of her early
career. "I feel really strong, and really
confident going in to this season. It
doesn't even compare. I think I just
relaxed."
Walker attributes some of that
ability lo focus and relax from what
she learned from her predecessor.
Walker inherited the job last
Spring, when then goalkeeper Hilary
Rose found out that she would be
leaving UMass to join the Great
Britain National Team as it tries lo
qualify for the 1 9% Olympics.
In addition to being a world class
player, Rose was also skilled as a
coach. In Walker's two years as her
understudy, she learned a lot from
Rose about her approach lo the
game.
"If anything, I've learned how to
handle the mental battle. Once you
win the battle with the menial game,
it's amazing," Walker said. 'Hilary
has been like a big sister to me.'
'Hilary is an excellent coach."
UMass coach Megan Donnelly said.
'The opportunity to see someone of
her caliber day in and day out. would
help anybody. I think it did a world
of good for Stacy. She learned well,
and now she's putting all those
lessons lo good use. She looks very
good."
On the field. Rose helped Walker
convert from a reactive goalie lo one
that dictates the play.
'Hilary is very aggressive. She'd
challenge someone coming down,
where as I used to be really reactive.
What Hilary brought to me was she
taught me how to be aggressive,"
Walker said. 'She taught me how to
use my mind against a forward,
instead of just reacting to what ihcy
do."
While Walker learned a lot from
Rose, the role of a back- up goal-
tender wasn't always easy.
"it's been a battle trying to keep it
in perspective, it's not always easy
being a back up goalie." Walker said.
"It was a battle v^th myself thinking.
'Why am I not getting better,' even
when I was. It's such a hard compari-
son to make, from a collegiate level
athlete to someone like Hilary, on the
international scene."
With Rose gone however. Walker
will get the chance to put her new
skills into practice. With freshman
walk-on Theresa Thompson the only
other netminder on the squad, the
goaltending job is Walker's, for bet-
ter or for worse, a fact that she is
ignoring so far.
'I try not to keep that pressure in
mind. So I haven't even thought
about it," Walker said. "When people
bring it up, I don't even talk about
it."
Her coach, however, is completely
comfortable with Walker.
'She's doing great," Donnelly
said. 'She looks very good. She
looks really poised and settled. She
looks more confident and strong
than I've seen her. I think she's
going to do fine."
Senior defender Andrea Cabral
echoed her coaches sentiments.
'Stacy looks really good. She looks
a lot stronger," Cabral said.
Walker feels her newfound confi-
dence has given her team more faith
in her.
"I think the team feels a little more
confident with me now, with my
mindset," she said.
That confidence is important, as
goaltending and leadership go
hand -in-hand.
"I think all the upperclassmen are
leaders. Being a goalkeeper is differ-
ent," Walker said. "You have to be
stable. When they look to you. you
need to be able lo lell them what to
do."
While Walker feels focused on the
on-field task at hand, she says that
field hockey has helped her keep the
rest of her life in focus.
"Field hockey keeps me focused in
everything. It's taught me loyally
and how lo interact." said Walker
who also admits to filling into the
"weird types play goalie' stereotype.
'It's sort of crazy just to sit there
when they shoot and hope thai they
shoot at you. But I love it. I really
do."
In limited playing lime. Walker

Last years snubbing
hasn't been forgotten
By Matt Vautour
ColUgion Staff
For the Massachusetts field
hockey team, the bitter taste still
lingers. Although it isn't as strong
as it was last November, when the
NCAA snubbed them, it is still
there.
After dropping a 1-0 heart -
breaker to rival Temple in the
finals of the Atlantic 10 tourna-
ment, the team prepared for the
NCAA tourney. But when the
field was announced, the
Minutewomen (who had been
nationally ranked No. 4 just two
weeks before and had wins over
both teams that eventually made
the finals) were left out.
Massachusetts was a national
title contender. The team knew it.
but was forced to watch from the
sidelines. The bad taste, brought
on by the denial, will carry into
the 1995 season.
Second year head coach Megan
Donnelly said that while the issue
is under the surface, it does exist
in the back of peoples minds.
"We're mindful of what can
happen, but I don't think it's
something we need lo talk about.
It's there. It's inside of everybody,
that's pretty obvious," she said.
"It's not something that anybody
is talking about, which is good, it
focused us for the spring."
"We haven't talked about it,
but it's all in the back of our
minds that we don't want it to
happen again." Andrea Cabral.
senior defender, said. 'It was a
fluke. It shouldn't have happened,
bul we're not going to dwell on
it."
The newfound focus is some-
thing Donnelly expects her squad
lo apply lo every game.
"Maybe what we were lacking
last year was a consistent level of
performance." Donnelly said.
'People realize that we can't take
anything for granted. We learned
last year that there isn't a lot we
can control.'
"I don't think I need to worry
about focusing them for one game
at a time. I think they are of that
mind set.
'They want to give their best
and show their best to everybody.
We clearly didn't do that last year.
Each game has it's own special
significance. You could look al
every game as something to
prove." she continued.
Senior captain Streya Volla
agreed with her coach.
'I think it's important that we
take each game as it comes,"
Volla said.
This season's schedule com-
mands that focus, as the list of
opponents reads like a who's who
of field hockey powers DcfciKiing
National Champion and preseason
No. I lames Madison. No. 2
North Carolina, No. 1
Connecticut and No. 4 Old
Dominion (twice) will all face
UMass.
Donnelly feels that unlike a
year ago, she expects the team to
be on a mure even level ihruugh-
oul the season.
"Given what happened last
year, I don't think thai this team
is going lo go on the highs and
lows that it did last year.'
Donnelly said.
Cabral contends that despite
last year. UMass' reputation is
iniaci.
'We're UMass. we're good. We
know it. Everybody else knows il.
That's all there is. We'll show il."
she said.

Volleyball
Nash, Anderson lead V-ball towards postseason
By Steven Grant
Collegian Staff
After coming off an impressive
28-7 campaign last year, the
University of Massachusetts volley-
ball team is gearing up for another
strong season.
The Minutewomen are basically
ihc ^.iiue team iihey lost only one
player from last year's roster) and are
a better one because of it. UMass
coach Bonnie Kenny feels that her
squad's experience will make things a
bit easier, as will her two incoming
freshmen. Leslie Hartlen from
Holden. Mass.. and Katie Pearce
from Seal Beach. Calif
"Most of the girls have been
together two years now." Kenny said.
"Team unitv and chemistry are going
to be very important. You expect a
lot more from juniors and seniors
then you do from sophomores and
freshmen."
With the maturity will come both
higher expectations and a tougher
schedule. Kenny realizes what her
team's pre season strengths and
weaknesses are. and what it will take
to have a successful season in the
.Atlantic 10 Conference.
Dionne Nash. Giza Rivera. Lesley
Nolan and Susan Maga comprise the
outside hitters, a position Kenny feels
is the team's strong point.
"We have four quality outside hit-
lers here." Kenny said ".And they'll
make each other better by pushing
each other for playing time. .Also, the
fact that we have a full 12 people is
another strength. The competition in
practice has been a nice, unfamiliar
flavor. It makes our drills as
game-like as pwssible.
"As far as any weaknesses we have.
NATHAN MARTIN C Ol I ECIAN
The Massachusetts volleyball team hopes to continue to improve after
an impressive second season last year.
I'd say that blocking is our main one.
Also, our middle attack needs some
work. But we have some time to
work on our problems."
Cass Anderson who. much to
UMass' liking, came back for a fifth
year, and Pearce are the team's set-
ters.
"We were really lucky to have Cass
come back for a fifth year." Kenny
said. "And as far cs Katie goes, she
has tremendous hands and can really
deliver the ball well. I do think '>he
has to get used to the intensity and
work ethic at this level however. She
could be a good setter and help us
down the road."
UMass' middle blockers are junior
Rachel Sky. sophomore Leigh
Readey. sophomore Michelle
Paciorek and Hartlen. Collectively,
the group is a little inexperienced,
but the potential is certainly there
"Leslie Hartlen is going to be a
great player." Kenny said. "She's in
great shape, is easy to coach and is
extremely versatile. Although she
needs to leam the game at this level,
she is the team's best athlete and is
truly fun to watch."
Senior Beth Cabral and sophomore
Maria Dueno will serve as the team's
defensive specialists, coming in at key
situations to help the team Dueno is
currently out with a back injury, but
could return soon.
As for the schedule. Kenny inten-
tionally set up some tough
non-league matches to ready her
team for league play, it will play
Lafayette. Rider and Hofstra in the
opening tournament, before flying
over to California to play perennial
Top 10 Cal-Santa Barbara, among
others at the Santa Barbara tourna-
ment.
"To be successful, we're really
going to need to pass the ball well."
Kenny said. "Nolan. Nash, Rivera
Hid Hartlen all hit the ball with some
pretty good velocity, so it's important
we pass well. We want to have three
options every time we attack the ball.
If we're not going to be as good of a
blocking team as we like, we're going
to need good ball control and back-
court defense.
"Our goals are to finish in the top
two in the conference and make the
A-IO Tournament Finals. We're defi-
nitely a better team than last year "
UMass would like nothing more
than to be able to lake part in the
1995 National Championships
UMass is the host University, as they
will take place at the William D.
Mullins Center in December.
Minutewomen notes: Cindy
Gregory is Kenny's new assistant.
Gregory was formerly the mens' and
womens' head coach at
Massachusetts' Institute ol
Technology. She has "great coaching
and playing experience" according to
Kenny. Gregory lead her women's
leam into the NCAA's championships
in 1994 with a record of 26-7, she
was named New England Women's
Volleyball Association Coach of the
Year. UMass' trainer is |oanna
Franklin while the manager is Dorrit
Schultz, also a roster hopeful.

Sandwiched in between the two
trips, but hardly overlooked, is
UMass' Sept. 23 dale with the Boston
University Terriers at Garber Field.
BU was ranked No. I for part of last
season, and completed the regular
season undefeated, but fell to Brown
in the waning moments of their sec-
ond-round NC.^.A playoff tilt. The
Terriers enter 1995 as the consensus
No. 1 team in New England. The
Minutemcn lopped the Terriers at
Garber two years ago and played a
solid game at BU's Nickerson Field
last year.
A road trip to New Hampshire,

huw the Minutenien shape up in the
region, and an excellent tune up for
their match against BU three days

Dartmouth will venture to Garber on
Oct. 18 in what is sure to be a

exceptional facility, and can claim
U.S. International and Padova
defender Alexi Lalas amongst its
alums. But. while the conference will
bid adieu to the Scarlet Knights.
Koch expects to see other clubs step
up to maintain
the same high
level of overall
competition.
"We lost a
premier team in
Rutgers." Koch
said. "They've
been a Final
Four team and
they're always a
top 20 leam. "~^~~^~~~^~~~
To lose them
doesn't help the league at all. but
other teams have really stepped it up.
URI is going to be a very tough team.
GW is a very talented team. St. loe's
is a very tough team, with most of
iheir players returning. So the A-lO's
are going to be lough, because other
teams are going to pick it up and
U)ok for the limelight.
One team expected to make a
tremendous improvciiient is St.
Bonaventure. The Bonnies have hired
a new athletic director and head
coach, with the hopes of competing
with the top teams in the A-IO. and
this will only contribute to a strength-
ened conference. St. Bonaventure
might not compete for the title in
1995. but they will compete solidly in
iheir league matches.
Whereas a premier team on the
national level was lost in Rutgers, the
■A 10 will be tougher top to bottom
_^_^^_^^^^_ with no teams to
be overlooked.
"St.
Bonaventure has
a new coach and
outlook on the
sport as well, and
you'll see a
change in that
team right away."
Koch said.
"When your last
place leam
becomes a strong opponent, that
strengthens the whole league and
makes it a lot harder to he successful
within the league."
The addition of a nationally
respected Xavier side will also help
offset the loss of Rutgers, while
Virginia Tech could sneek into the
playoff race as well.
The Minutemen opened bt)th their
season and conference schedule this
past weekend against the fioakies
and UaSalle. but results were not
available as of press time. UMass will
return to action this afternoon at 4
p.m. against Maine, ranked seventh
in New England.

Cross Country
Women open without Langevin
fty Laigh Torbin
Gsllegian Stoff
After a successful l'i*)4 season, it
appears thai the Liniversity of
Massachuselt- women's cross c^mn-
try team will •-tari iheir l'i^l5 cam
paign the ^amc way they closed ihcir
1994 campaign without Melissa
Langevin. the l'^^4 \il.jnii,. 10
Runner of the ^'ear
After a tuniultuou- ...,;. cmJmijj
fall thai ended both her and her
teammate '^ pursuit of the Eastern
Collegiate Athletic Conference
(ECACI Championship, Langexin
was forced to redshirt both indoor
and outdiKir track due to the injuric'^
that she ^u^iained. Lange\in is
expected to redshirt the upcoming
season as well.
Langexin became the fir-t
Minutewoman ever to claim the
A-10's Individual Championship. A
Top 10 finish at the EC.ACs in
Boston's Franklin Park wimld have
likely qualified her for the NCAA
Championships, her ultimate career
ambition.
Langevin is currently "not ready to
race" according to UMass coach lulie
LaFreniere. LaFreniere will postpone
any official decision concerning
Langevin's season status until the end
111 September to allow Langevin as
much time as possible to heal before
the important inv itationals in
October.
Langevin might run in one early
season meet to gauge her status.
LaFreniere said.
"We'll most likely be without her.
but for now she's still a /)/g question
mark. Whether she runs or not will
make a huge difference for us."
Langevin ha- placed first in every
race that she has completed as a
Minutewoman. but should Langevin
led^hirt. ^opholnore- Rebecca
Donaghue and Katie Greenia will
have to step forward and assume
leadership roles.
Donaghue was an All .Xllanlic 10
selectiim hiNt season and wa'- named
the conference's Rookie of the Week
three times. Donaghue placed eighth
overall at the A- lOs, eighth at the
New Englands and second overall for
LMass at most meets.
After concluding a fantastic track
season this past spring, that included
a 4:29 finish in the 1.500 meters at
the ECACs. she trained hard all sum-
mer long. Donaghue has been sharp
in several road races this summer and
will be one of the Minutewomen's
top runners.
Greenia returns to the team after
redshirting 1994 with knee troubles.
Greenia was second to Langevin in
most races her freshman year, and
after a year's hiatus, is eager to return
It) competition.
"She's healthy and ready to race,"
LaFreniere said. "She wants to race
and is very hungry for it. Katie's
quite excited to get back out there.
Maving her will make a big differ-
ence "
SuNie Hitscherich will also help fill
the void left in Langevin's wake The
incoming freshman from >ardley.
Penn.. is expected lo follow
Donaghue and Langevin as LMass'
latest freshman sensation.
Hitscherich ran the Lehigh c«.>urse
in 18:20 last fall. Donaghue ran that
course in 18:25.7. placing her six-
teenth at la-.i year's Paul Short
Invitational.
Krisien Donaldson might be slow-
er as the season opens as she accli-
mates herself to the "warmer"
Amherst weather after a cool summer
at her home in ,\nchorage inhibited
her preseason training. Expect
Donaldson to be a steady runner for
the Minuiewomen and add depth to
the roster.
|en Waeger will likely also join the
team's top five and turn a few heads
in the process. Christy Martin ran
just 20 seconds behind Greenia in a
July roadrace and should be a solid
competitor. Molly Dunlap also has a
legitimate chance of cracking the
UMass lineup.
Still, how things will stack up for
the season opener Saturday against
Brown. New Hampshire and Maine,
is dependant tin Langevin's condi-
tion. Redshirting will not doom the
team as Langevin and Greenia have
two more years of eligibility remain-
ing, while Donaghue has three and
Hitscherich has four.
"It still won't be a horrible sea-
son." LaFreniere said. "It can still be
alright. It won't be what I planned,
but some of our best seasons have
been by surprise. You just never
know with athletics what can hap-
pen.
"We will be fine in the long run.
and 1 anticipate us being even
stronger the next couple of years."
Mens XC has
high goals set
By Justin C. Smilh
Collegian Staff
Looking at last season, a young
Massachusetts men's cross-country
team attempts to make the step from
the second best in the conference, to
the top spot.
As deep as it was. the team needed
more experience, which only comes
with time, and a front runner, which
comes with training, to develop the
runner's talent further.
"I think our biggest problem has
been the fact that we have had too
much back-up strength and not
enough up front strength," men's
cross-country coach Ken O'Brien
said. "There is no doubt we have
enough guys to support the ones up
front, but 1 didn't know who might
come from that pack and move up to
the front."
Towards the end of the "94 season,
sophomores Matt Biel and Mike
Macieko began to come to the fore-
front for the Minutemen and looks to
become the leaders for the team this
season.
"I've been training real hard in the
off-season to prepare myself to be
someone capable of taking over that
role," Matt Biel said. "The races I
have run over the summer have been
good for me and nty training is ahead
of schedule from last year. I feel 1
will be able to step it up."
Mike Macieko shares his team-
mate's feelings on the need for a
leader for their squad.
"We have been together as a team
for awhile now, but we need that front
runner," Macieko said. "1 really can't
say for the rest of the team, but I
know that 1 would like to be a leader."
O'Brien is also looking to the pair
to nil the only question mark on a
formidable squad.
"Hopefully with the progress of
Matt and Mike." he said, "we have
solved the problem of a leader during
our races."
In last year's A-IO
Championships. Biel and Macieko
finished seventh and ninth, respec
tively, and look to improve upon that
mark. The team as a whole finished
second to West Virginia, as they
edged out third place St. loseph's by
just one point.
Entering the 1995 season, the
squad is looking lo make a major

Many students left homeless from housing fumble
By Chris Conner
Collegian Staff
Sophomore Valerie Barkey has been forced to live in a
Campus Center Hotel room with two other girls since
she returned lo the University of Massachusetts on
Monday.
"Why am I getting bumped if I paid on lime?" she
asked when she lound her room in Mackimmie Residence
Hall occupied.
For the past week, Whiimore Administration Building
has been overwhelmed by hundreds of students whose
housing was inadvertently withdrawn over the summer.
A large number of students whose bills were paid did
not rixeive housing due to an error. One housing source,
who wanted lo remain anonymous, attribuies directly to
former bursar Karen Shelley, who resigned from her posi-
tion this summer.
Due to the office being closed today, employees in the
Bursar's office were unavailable for comment today.
According to the source, a lot of uncashcd checks from
over 1.000 students remained on Shelley's desk on the
due dale for the payment of balances.
The source also said ihe Bursar's Office computer con-
taining the incorrect information interfaced with ihe
Housing Office computer, the students were withdrawn
because ihe bills appeared lo be unpaid.
"Even if they didn't pay on time, we are housing ihcm
for up to two weeks now," the source said. "We don't care
now."
Another source in housing echoed the seniimenl. saying
the blame has been primarily placed on the wrong office.
"We're the ones who have to tell people they're out of
housing, and i;'s not our fault." the stxond source said.
"We did everything we could."
"A complicaied syttein'
Paul Page, the vice-chancellor for administration and
finance, said in actuality, blame should not be placed on
any one individual, such as Shelley.
"WTiat we're contending with is a (computer | system by
which we operate various offices." he said.
Page referred to the Batch system currently used b>
Whitmore as "really antiquated and out-of-date."
According to Page, when the information of a student is
given to an emplovtx-. ihe present system can take up to
two days lo process the data.
He also said he fcHt il was necessary lo revise the way in
which the various Whitmore offices are run.
"We have a complicated system with complicated inier-
aciions." Page said. "They don't function in an organized,
coordinated manner."
Yet, despite the faults of these offices. Page said he is
sympathetic to the travails of the employees in the past
few days.
"It's not easy to stand there for eight hours a day look-
ing out al all those students who don't understand what's
going on." he said. "Fniployees from all offices have gone
to extraordinary lengths."
Although he said he considered the Whitmore "I-IJOO"
help number devised this summer to help confused stu-
dents a success. Page said he does not consider it a solu-
tion to a problem such as ihe present one.
However, he said having screened students working for
the ser\ice about iheir admini.sirative corKems will be a
useful tool in the near future
"|The 800 number] was kind of a band-aid." Page
said. "It was just treating the symptoms. "
Reluming to dorms
On five separate occasions. Valeric Barkey has ventured
to Whitmore in her attempts to rectify her situation, each
time ending up back in the hotel.
"No one lells me anything," said Barkey, whose major is
undecided. "I doni know what's going on."
If her housing in a dormitory is not secured by thi^
morning, Barkey said she will lose her placement in one ol
her classes.
.Assistant Director of Residential Support Gerald
Ouarles said Housing is working at an expedient pace to
make sure that all displaced students receive a room as
quickly as possible.
Ouarles gave a figure- for students without housing ihal
was significantly less than thai of the housing office
souree — 240 displaced students, which is only a I.I per
cent fluctuation from last year's figures.
Ol those students. 78 are slaying in ihc hotel, 1% are-

An "out-of-servicc" room, most of which are in ihc
Soulhwcvl Residential Area, was defined by Ouarles as a
"less desirable, yet functional and usable" living space.
Although there still is no exact time by which ihe 240
students will all re-tum to dorms, Ouarles said the average
individual will be housed in Iwo lo three weeks.
Also, he said thai Housing will be paying close atten-
tion lo Iheir room "swap" board in order lo offer further
assistance.
Ouarles speculated thai a rise in the cost of off-campus
housing, which would cause more students to remain on
campus could be one of ihe primary faclors in ihe over

EWC looking for help to stop the violence
By Loura Schmidt
Collegian Staff
The Everywomans Center is now
accepting applications for its eight
week counselor/advocate training
program, which will begin Sept. 16.
Volunteers interested in becoming
educated on issues surrounding vio-
lence against women will have ihe
opportunity to become either a coun-
selor or educator advocate this fall.
"We arc looking for a mix of stu-
dents and community members to
participate in our programs,
jbecausej we need a well balanced
staff which will reflect the diverse
community surrounding us." said
Sage Freechild. the Counselor
Advocate Program Coordinator for
the Everywoman's Center.
As components of the
Everywoman's Center. the
Educator/Advocate and
Counselor/Advocate Programs are
commiticd to building an organiza-
tion that refiects racial, cultural and
ethnic diversity among women.
The Everywoman's Center
Counselor/ Advocate Program is com-
mitted lo serving all survivors of vio-
lence against women in its varied
forms of rape, ballering. incest and
sexual harassment.
"The Counselor/ Advocate Program
deals directly with victims on the
telephone and even in the hospital."
said Carol Wallace, director of the
Everywoman's Center.
The Educator/ Advocate Program
offers workshops and (raining to
campus and community groups on
issues of violence against women,
Wallace said.
"Our Educator/ Advocate Program
differs from our Counselor/ Advocate
Program because il deals specifically
with community organizing rather
than dealing directly with the victim."
Wallace said.
Applicants for both the Counselor
and Educator Advocate Programs
are expected lo have some aware-
ness of the issues of violence against
women.
According to Wallace, applicants
should also exhibit the ability lo
adapt comfortably to the role of a
coun.selor and must demonstrate ihe
ability lo speak well in front of
groups and facililale discussions.
All educator and counselor advo
cates are required lo complete
bO-hour (raining on violence againsi

The meetings will include work-

Drought victims honored
on famine anniversary
By Allison ConnoNy
Collegian Staff
Ihe I50(h anniversary of (he
po(a(o famine in Ireland will begin
on Sept. 9. according to ihe
University of Massachusetts pro-
fessor Peggy O'Brien.
However, ihe anniversary is only
being "celebrated" on this side of
the Atlantic The Irish m America
celebrate (heir dale of redcmpfion
because (hey were lucky to get out
wi(h (heir lives. Many Irish living
in Ireland now see (he anniversary
as a (ime (o remember (he dead.
"In Ireland, there are a certain
amoun( of people who are skepti-
cal about (he idea of an anniver-
sary." O'Brien said. "The famine
las(cd over five years. ra(hcr (han
one and (here were several other
(droughts! in ihe decade, although
this was the worst."
Before the famine. Ireland had a
populatioTi of eight million people.
Af(er (he I 5-ycar bligh( only half
of (ha( number remained.
"Over one million people died,
and ano(her (wo million cmigraied
to America." O'Brien said. "Of
course, (o (he Irish a( home, there
was almost no difference between
(he (WO."
O'Brien said (ha( (he activities (o
mark (he anniversary in Ireland are
very low key. A famine museum
has been opened on an old csta(c
where- many people actually died.
"The mood over there now is
skeptical about cclcbra(ing it."
O'Brien said, "'t's the act of cele-
brating any atrocious event. They
want il commemorated in (he righ(
way."
O'Brien believes the debate
abou( memorializing such a horri-
ble (ime in (he his(ory of (he Irish
people is linked (o other cultures,
such as those in (udaic and
African-American studies.
"The historians are very aware
that (heir work is linked (o (rau-
mas elsewhere in the world,"
O'Brien said.
Historians are in (he process of
going through ihe records of peo-
ple who have died and those who
immigrated. Since the famine only
occurred a little more than a cen-
tury ago, the research is slow
"It is as recent as the Civil War
in Black history," O'Brien said
They are currently accounting
the psychological damage done to
the Irish people. However, Ireland
is siill fighting a war thai began in
1690.
O'Brien believes the saddest
part of the famine is the Irish
blamed themselves, rather than the
English absentee landlords who
could have helped ihem.
There will be a scries of lectures
given over the academic year.
Kevin Whelan, professor of Irish
studies and a visiting lecturer from
Ireland leaching at Boston College,
will be leading a session in late
November. Cormack O'Grada. an
expert on (he economic fac(s of
the famine will also speak.
The irony of (his par(icular
anniversary is (ha( Ireland is cur-
rendy suffering from a drought,
reminiscent of ihe one which
killed (he potato crops al the turn
of Ihe century.
There has been no rain fall in
the country for the last three
months. The lush green fields ihal
Ireland is known for are now burnt.
The government has instilled a
water ban which prevents fields
and crops from being watered,
according (o Irish farmers.

to taking part in ROTC activities.
If prospective cadets do decide to
keep up with the program, they will
be eligible to participate in a
repelling exercise called 'Warrior
Plunge' later this month. They will
also take part in an "MSI hike* and
will receive an introduction to gener-
al Army knowledge including field
training and tasks, Schfure said.
MSI is the designation given to
first-year cadets. Sophomore cadets
are called MS2s. and so on.
Milton also took the opportunity to
point out some of the cadets' accom-
plishments during the summer,
including an outstanding perfor-
mance by the Minuteman cadets at
Advanced Camp 1995.
This year's Advanced Camp was
held at Fort Bragg. N.C.. and fea-
tured such events as a paintball com-
petition and physical training exercis-
es.
According to Milton, teams from
UMass placed first and second in the
paintball competition.
Schnarc said yesterday's event was
being used as a "recruitment tool' in
order to create interest in the various
ROTC programs.
"It's also a way to welcome back
everyone from the summer." she said.

~ LOCAL NEWS ~
Various banks accessible to UMass students
By Matthew Wurtzel
Collegian Staff
After buying books, room decora-
tions or beer, students may be in
need of a place to put away the rest
of their money.
In addition to the large banks are
various smaller local banks and credit
unions such as the UMass Student
Federal Credit Union which is run
solely by students and Bank of
Western Massachusetts.
Some of the smaller local banks
offer accounts with no fees, unlike
the larger statewide institutions.
Both Shawmut and BayBank offer
students Automated Teller Machines
on campus in the Campus Center, as
well as branches in downtown
Amherst and through out the state.
Both banks also offer 24 hour 800
phone assistant numbers.
The Bank of Western
Massachusetts has a branch and an
ATM in downtown Amherst, and
they charge no fee for using certain
ATM machines across the nation.
The student credit union currently
does not offer students ATM service,
but will in November, said Matthew
McCabe. director of marketing.
Both large banks will be on the
Campus Center Concourse through
Friday afternoon providing students
with information on their services.
The student credit union will be in
front of their office in the Student
Union.
When choosing a bank, students
should ask questions about the vari-
ous accounts offered, said Sandra
Sacco. vice president of Shawmut's
Triangle Street branch in Amherst.
"When opening a bank account or
checking account, students should try
to determine what their needs will
be.' said KayBank spokesperson.
Bruce Spitzer.
Both Spitzer and Sacco said stu-
dents should compare annual and
ATM fees, which the bank may
charge customers.
No Frills Accounts
All four institutions offer varying
basic accounts such as basic checking
and basic savings.
Shawmut's basic checking costs
S2.50 per month unless a student is
under 19 than the fee is waived.
Basic checking provides customers
with unlimited Shawmut ATM use.
■but limits customers to 10 checks per
month.
Shawmut waives the monthly fee if
a student chooses direct deposit,
which some area emp'overs such as
the University offer students, accord-
OAVMtON SMt TH '( 0( L t CIAN
Marina Lupishko, a graduate student, checks out the free checking account at the Student Credit Union,
bank is one of many in the area that offers student packages.
This
ing to Sacco.
BayBank offers a basic checking
account, as well. The fees on the
BayBank basic checking are the same
as on Shawmut's basic checking, but
the restrictions are different.
BayBank's basic checking limits
customers to only eight checks per
month, and four BayBank ATM
transactions per month. Each addi-
tional BayBank ATM transaction will
cost $.75.
The UMass Student Credit Union
offers students free checking and
unlimited checks per month.
"Our checking works well with
people who like to save." McCabe
said. "With the credit union, students
don't have to wony that money was
taken out at the end of the month.*
The Bank of Western
Massachusetts also offers no fee
checking as long as a customer main-
tains a monthly balance over $1000.
If the account falls below $1000.
then the customer will be charged a
$5 service fee. and $.5 5 for each
transaction.
The Bank of Western
MasMchusctts checkfctg account is a
NOW account which bears an inter-
est rate of 1 .5 perwnt.
Both Shawmut and BayBank offer
students ATM debit cards with their
checking accounts. Both Shawmut's
and BayBank's debit cards are accept-
able at any location where
Mastercard is accepted.
Sacco said a debit card is like a
paperless checking account which
allows a student to limit the number
of checks written within a month.
Packages
For students who have more
money to invest, both Shawmut and
BayBank offer account packages.
Spitzer said BayBank's Student
Value Package is a very popular pro-
gram amongst most college students.
The Student Value Package offers
students a checking account, a com-
panion savings account, an ATM or
debit Mastercard card, and the
option of adding a BayBank credit
card from Visa or Mastercard.
The BayBank credit card provides
a student with a $300 credit limit,
and incurs an annual fee of $2 1 .
The value package costs $6 per
month which is waived if a student is
under 19. The value package also
provides students who are over 18
with $250 overdraft protection. So if
a -student bounces a check. BayBank
will cover it.
BayBank allows out of state stu-
dents to waive fees during the sum-
mer months by freezing the accounts,
a feature which Shawmut lacks.
Shawmut docs not exclusively offei
students a value package because "we
do not discriminate." said Sacco.
Shawmut offers the public at large
the Partnership Program
Shawmut customers who deposit
over $5000 in various accounts and
maintain that balance of $3000 are
eligible for the program.
The Partnership Program provides
customers the option of tailoring the
program to their needs Customers
can link savings, checking, certifi-
caies of deposit, and even retirement
accounts in the prvgram.
The program provides customers
with unlimited free checking, free
check reorders and unlimited
Shawmut ATM use.
Shawmut provides Partnership
Customers with a separate 800 num-
ber rather than the standard cus-
tomers.
Sacco said the Shawmut and Fleet
merger will not be complete until
later this year, but she does not
expect the merger to effect accounts
until early next year.
She also said the accounts will
probably not change dramatically
after the merger is complete.
McCabe said students often do ni>i
have a large amount of money to
manage, so accounts such as the
Shawmut Partnership Program may
be inappropriate when compared to
ihe free services of the student credit
union.

A grilled cheese made with love
It might be tix) early to start
thinking about this ... but it
!i«efn!t as soon as you gel back
to school, the holidays are just
around the corner. So. I'm going to
submit my Christmas wish list to the
University early this year, just to give
them a chance to get it together.
My first wish is simple: do some-
thing about the dining coinmons. The
D.C.s had a bad semester last spring,
starting off with the racial incident
that ended in a protest, shutting the
hall down for a iday. That only added
to the taste — or lack of — the food.
Although I live off-campus now. my
bowels have been through a workout
for past three years
and it's time there
were some changes.
The bottom line is
the food is bad.
I was sitting next
to a table last semester during lunch
and a guy threw his sandwich on his
tray. 'You know." he said, "these
grilled cheeses just aren't made with
any love." He was right. How can
you mess up a grilled cheese? Do
something.
The second wish is a little drastic:
get rid of the UMass President's office.
It seems the office does more harm
than good. Last year, former President
Michael K. Hix)ker slipped up in an
interview, rating ihe University system
at about a C*. Many considered his
little slip a factor in Governor William
F. Weld's decision not to give the fac-
ulty its pay raise.
Tim
White
I realize that Hooker, who said he
was staying for at least ten years, left
to be chancellor at the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill (look
out UNC, I'm warning you now), but
eliminating the office all together
would probably save the University,
and the state, a bundle of money and
headaches.
Third: all I have to say is Whitmore.
What a nightmare that place is. I think
we should throw a big party, bum it
to the ground, and then rebuild a
whole new one. I suppose it's not the
building itself, but what hap(>ens on
the inside that makes it such a horrid
place
To be a little more
specific on my wish —
fix the damn phone sys-
tem to the bursar's and
financial aid offices. All
of us have gone through
the nightmare when we're innocently
enjoying our break between semes-
ters, and we get a cryptic letter saying
there is a major problem with our
"records" warning us to fix it. or die.
It also asks us to call the bursar's
or financial aid office immediately.
Do they have one person answering
the phones for the thousands of stu-
dents at UMass? It is impossible to
get through. Hire some more people,
or don't insult us with giving the
phone number.
The fourth wish is something that
has plagued this institution for years:
administration has to change their
method in dealing with racial inci-
dents on campus. I don't know how
many times someone has said to me.
"So you go to UMass. huh? Got a
kind of war going on up there,
don'tcha?" No, we don't. The prob-
lem is that the media focuses on
these incidents, and the University is
lethargic about fixing these racial-
ly-motivated problems.
It seems they sit on (heir hands
hoping it will go away. The adminis-
tration has to be crystal clear on what
they stand: zero tolerance toward
racism and prejudice. Half of the
incidents in the past could have been
solved much faster if UMass just took
a stand on something instead of try-
ing to please everyone.
Fifth: hire an extra cop for the
UMass police department, specifically
to clean up the little "gifts" the horse
piatrol leaves for us on the sidewalk. I
realize the equestrian police patrol is
good public relations, but it is also
bad PR when a visitor to the campus
finds their foot in a mound of horse
dung.
My final wish is directed toward
Coach Cal and crew: play to the best
of your ability. That does not mean
we have to get to the Final Four or
even the Sweet Sixteen. I have seen
the best games of my entire life over
the past three years, starting at the
Curry Hicks Cage and now at the
Mullins Center. All I ask is for the
tradition to continue, not forgetting
where this program has come from.
Tim While is a Collegian colum-
nist.
Death doesn't become her
A split second.
That's all it takes. One second you're alive,
the next you're gone.
I've always heard people say. "you can't take any-
thing for granted because everything you have can be
gone in an instant." I always thought I didn't take
things for granted and truly enjoyed life, until I almost
died this summer.
I went with one of my roommates to a
small quarry-like swimming area under-
neath a bridge. When I first saw the
place, I thought it seemed dangerous
There was a rope hanging from the
bridge that people were using to jump
into the water. To reach the water, you
had to swing over a bunch of rocks with
a good grip on the rope so you wouldn't
fall.
The whole time I was there. I watched
all these people jumping in. having a great
time. Yet. all I could think about was that
I hoped I wouldn't see anyone slip from the rope and
hurt themselves. At one point, my roommate was
going to try it, but she changed her mind. After an
hour of watching, my competitive juices began to fiow.
I wanted to try it and show everybody that I could do
it.
I reached up to grab the rope. I couldn't get much of
a grip, but I thought I could make up for it with a
good jump. Everybody was watching me. so I couldn't
change my mind. I was nervous, but I still wanted to
doit.
Bad decision.
I jumped up. but because I didn't have a strong
enough grip. I slipped and landed hard on the rocks
below and slid down into the water. As I was falling. I
was sure my head was going to hit the rocks. I was
sure I was going to die.
Luckily. I just missed hitting my head on the rocks
by inches. Inches.
Instead of my head hitting the rocks, my left leg hit
them. The impact was extremely hard and I thought I
had broke my leg. Somehow, all I had was a bruise the
size of a squash which started to form not even 10 sec-
onds after impact.
When I first came to the surface I laughed nervous-
ly. I didn't know what to say. I was shocked. Everyone
around me was shocked loo. One guy said to me with
a freaked out look on his face. "I thought I was going
to see your head cracked open."
I replied, "yeah, that was a real good
move." My leg was throbbing as I stepped
out of the water and it wasn't until then
when I started to realize what had almost
happened. I couldn't believe how close I
came to death. I couldn't believe what I
had almost lost. I thought of my family,
my friends — everything that mattered to
me most in life.
I wanted to cry, but I couldn't. I was
still so shocked. I had such an eerie feeling
in my stomach and I started to wonder
why I didn't die. Was there a reason?
I've never been a spiritual or religious person, but i
started to wonder if there was something in the world
for me, if it just wasn't my time yet, because I was so
damn lucky.
I started to get angry at myself for doing such a stu-
pid thing, for making such a stupid choice. If I start to
get down about something. I remind myself that there
is no need for it because my life could be over in a
flash. I've come to realize how precious life is and how
quickly everything can be taken away from you.
It's such a cliche, but it's true. Once you almost lose
everything you have, you appreciate everything so
much more and realize what's really important. People
sometimes tend, and I know I did. to forget how lucky
they are to be alive and how fast everything can be
gone.
Now I know how lucky I really am. and I can truly
say I enjoy life — because I am alive.

What exactly is your Student
Government Association?
This is a question that has
been on the minds of many. Finally,
there is an answer.
The Student Government
Association (SGA). is a representa-
tive governing organization for the
undergraduate student
body. I'm your elected
President. Christine
Lopes, and I want to
take this opportunity to
give you an idea of
what this organization does for you
and what it all means.
A year ago. students on this cam-
pus accomplished one of the greatest
victories possible. The students
worked hard and made the SGA one
of Ihe only recognized student gov-
erning bodies in the country.
To many, that may mean nothing,
but it truly is something. Students
have the power to not only suggest
change, but make it themselves —
changes that could effect the
University for years to come. In the
next year, the SGA plans on making
changes and we plan on you being
part of that.
The SGA is continuing a strong
fight against tuition and fee increases
in the next year. For the past two
years the SGA has worked on getting
an increase from the State House in
our annual budget, in order to mini-
mize the cost of attending UMass.
And we did it.
With the help of
faculty, staff, admin-
istration and others,
the students have
developed a lobbying
force that is unbeatable. And this
year is no different. We're working
hard to make sure UMass is an
affordable education and that the stu-
dents are getting what they pay for.
The SGA has been working on
developing a lobbying effort against
the proposed cuts to Federal
Financial Aid. With the hard work of
the Student Center for Educational
Research and Advocacy, the SGA has
been able to work on efforts to not
only keep the student body informed,
but also involved in Ihe fight against
any cuts to Federal Financial Aid.
There are issues the student gov-
ernment plans on focusing on in the
next year that aie a little closer to
home. Such issues include academic
advising, food service, developing
and producing a Course and Teacher
Evaluation guide for the student
body, the use of SAT scores for
admissions, and voter registration.
This is my way of letting the stu-
dent body know what we are doing
and letting you decide what the SGA
needs to do. The way to do that is
become an active part of it. In the
next few weeks there are going to be
elections held for Senators.
If you want to be a part of all
that's going on. please come to our
office and get more information. This
is how the SGA will do it's job best
— by having you be part of it.
Last spring we brought you
"Putting Student First" and now we
are putting those promises into
action. The SGA is going to make
sure that it happens, but only if the
students want it. The SGA is only as
strong as the student body wants it to
be. And I hope that you make it the
strongest it's ever been.
Christine Lopes is SGA president.

THE MASSACHUSETTS DAILY COLLEGIAN
Thursday, Septemlx-r 7, X'i'iS I Page S
By George, he was right
'T
ou know, Bryce. you've
learned more this summer
than you have in your
whole life," my friend George said to
me a couple of days before I left my
good ol' hometown. I laughed at
George, told him he talks out of his
ass and proclaimed he really didn't
know as much as he thought he did.
I then walked
away after figuring
out how George
fixed the sink
(George is a plumber
and I occasionally
accompany him to
keep him company,
though I usually just
sit there and make
fun of him, not pay-
ing attention to what
he's doing), and
looked back at him in disgust. When
the smoke cleared and the clue filled
my brain, the shocking truth was
revealed to me.
That sonuvabitch was right.
It was not so much what I learned,
but it was the various things in life
that I experienced being away from
school over the past three months. I
honestly believed it involved gaining
a little more than an ounce of maturi-
ty, though I haven't found it just yet.
The experience I have gained in life
in general may not be something I
can actually visualize, but a person
like George will notice that change in
me and icil me about it.
First things first, though it may not
be most important, is how I learned
how to install a lawn sprinkler.
George, the same self-proclaimed
know-it-all plumber friend, also got
me this job at the beginning of the
summer. When he described the job
to me at first, he said there was no
digging, that a machine did all of the
work.
Did I mention George was also a
B.S.'er?
My hands became two full callous-
es as I dug trenches and holes five
whole days each week. I had muscles
in my hands by the time I was done.
And I learned how to install the
underground irrigation systems,
which gave me a sense of pride. Sort
of.
Of course, I also realized thai even
though I am a college student and
think of myself as a fairiy intelligent
guy (my G.P.A. is unavailable at this
lime, though), there are many things
I haven't the foggic-st idea about. In
other words, I was the
anchor on the knowl-
edge totem pole as far
as lawn sprinklers were
concerned. I asked more
questions than the pros-
ecution ai the 0.|.
Simpson trial and
received some nasty
looks.
Yet, in time, even
though I was the "stu-
pid college kid," I
learned what funny pipe was. what
you use conduit pipe for and which
spots on a lawn entail a rotor or a
spray head, among many other things
involved in the sprinkler field.
That's not to mention how I dis-
covered that if mosquitix-s are both-
ering you while you're bangin' in
heads (that's installing sprinkler
heads to you youngins'). let them
gather on one arm behind your head,
and smack them collectively. So. in
the process, I also learned that I real-
ly can outsmart a bunch of gnats.
Ahhh yeah.
I prepared myself for having my
own living arrangements over the
last few months. I knew I was living
in a house off-campus this year, so I
readied myself for the experience. I
didn't pay rent, but I managed to
buy my own food and did scattered
work around the house (though
Mom won't admit it). As for the
food bit, I did exactly what I
wouldn't be able to do for the next
two semesters — eat out everyday
instead of grocery shopping. I
learned thai an average of five bucks
a meal, two meals a day, equals very
little money in wallet for school. So
what I did I do a few days ago in my
monumental first-ever shopping
spree at Stop &. Shop?
I spent $50.24.
I guess I thought buying 18 Ramen
noodles at six for a buck and a
24-pack of peanut butter crackers
was the way to go. Yet. I did realize I
wasn't buying for an entire family,
nor did I remember that this wasn't
my only trip to the market of the
semester. The only positive thing is if
any hurricane, tornado or other
storm comes to Amherst, you won't
see me standing in line at the grocery
store the day before it arrives.
Suckers.
I went fishing for the first time this
summer. You know what I leained?
How to ask people to prepare my rod
... fishing rod. you pigs. I also real-
ized I have absolutely no patience in
trying to untangle a tangled up line.
And catching a sunfish isn't worth
taking a picture, my friends say with
a disgusted Archie Bunker face.
Oh yeah, and I now comprehend
that you shouldn't put 600 pounds of
people into a 250-pound-capacity
boat. If the propeller on you motor
flies off, and you're in the middle of
a reservoir on a boat with no oars
just as the sun's going down, it's
lough for George (yes, that same
George) to pull the other 4(X) pounds
of man to safety in the dark.
I bought a car this summer. A
woman at my sister's work was sell-
ing her car because she was buying a
new one. So her old one became
mine— a 1981 Oldsmobile Cutlass
Brougham. The car that probably
tore it up when Blondie and Devo
were hitting the top of the charts is
now seeing it's last years. But. for
$300, I couldn't go wrong. George,
the man of the hour, wrote out a
check on the spot.
Yet after I paid him back, I learned
that my insurance was very high, get-
ling the car on the road was costly
and the brakes needed to be repaired.
I figured out the brake problem
when, as I reversed out of the drive-
way, the brakes gave out. and I spun
around the neighbor's lawn before
throwing down the emergency brake.

Letters to the Editor
Article's focus
misplaced
To the Editor:
This is in response to Mr. Ali Raza's article "Whose
Promised Land" which appeared in yesterday's Collegian.
Not only was Mr. Raza's article misplaced, but it lacked
the content to convince the most ignorant of readers. The
writer divided his piece of mind into two awfully simple
and see-through sections.
The first sounded more like a fourth grade history les-
.son and the second had what I call the hislorically and
politically important non-facts which are continuously fed
(with vengeance) into the minds of fundamentalist radi-
cals — bombers somewhere in the Middle East.
Mr. Raza stresses the point that Israelis participate only
in European events and resent being called Arabs. I would
hke to point out it was Israel's neighbors that have isolated
It for decades with embargoes and travel iwitrictions. You
do not shake hands with someone who steps on your foot.
I also find it difficult to understand why an industrial-
ized nation like Israel is being made the subject of. discus-
sion m a section, while the economic and social problem
ol about a hundred developing nations are ignored? This
Itself shows the narrow mindcdness or Mr. Raza whose
only motivation to write such articles .seems to be the cre-
ation of a 'TOs- styled propaganda base at the Collegian.
My advise to Mr. Ra7.a is he should start lobbying for an
independent section in the paper from which he could
voice his demands, regrets, threats and so on. Better still,
start a pamphlet service which would better suit his pitiful
literary merits.

The world's only roller dance company, Steve Love and the New York Express Roller Dance Show, will entertain
at the FAC today.
Roller skaters kick off semester
By Seemo Gongotirkor
Collegian SloH
The only roller dance company in the world will kick
off the Fine Arts Center's year long 20th Anniversary
Celebration. Steve Love and the New York Express
Roller Dance Show will perform its Rockin' Roller Dance
Show todav at 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. in the Concert
Hall
World-renowned lor original combination of precision
dance, mime, acrobatics, hip-hop and juggling, the com-
pany memtiers use a combination of in-line skates, which
are belter for speed and stunts, and traditional skates,
which are easier for artistic spins.
There are many advantages to using roller skates on stage
Almost any space and surface is appropnale. and perform-
ers who draw on varied backgrounds of ballet, ice-skating
and modem dance have learned advanced figure-skating
jumps, such as axles and toe loops in limited space.
"Whether on traditional or in-line skatc-s. wheels bring
a unique third dimension to the modern dance stage."
Love said in an interview at the Paramount Arts Center.
Love created the company in 1985. using his back
ground of classical skating and dance as well as his
accomplishments as a juggler and street-performer as
inspiration.
"I was bored with my first roller rink experience." Love
said. "I was seven years old and going around and around
the rink was monotonous ... I just had lo make it more
interesting."
As a choreographer. Love has worked on numerous
national commercials, including "Siarbursi" and
"Checrios." industrials for clients such as Sony and Coca
Cola, and educational films for Time Life.
Love himself has appeared extensively in film and tele-
vision, most recently hosting his own TV show. "Love on
Wheels!" Other television credits include "The Today
Show." an MTV' station promotion and the I*)*}! Macy's
Thanksgiving Parade New York nightclub credits include
Shout! and Sounds of Brazil.
In addition to performing. Love holds workshops and
rehearsals at the Lezly Dance and Skate School in New
York City. The school offers classes for people who want
10 study rollcT dance at all levels.
Following the performance, there will be a cake-cuiting
ceremony at 2:00 p.m.
The e\eni lakes place today at I 00 pm and 3 00 pm

Ever wonder the difference between a geek and a

fourth novel will enlighten you on that question as well
as answer any others one might have about the inti-
mate lives of a computer programmer.
Meet Daniel Underwood and his friends who know
they have no lives and are (ta da) computer program-
mers. They shop at Costco and describe themselves
using seven computer-related "jeopardy" categories
(eg. Forlron. Pascal. C■^-^. etc.). The merry band of
programming men all work for Microsoft, putting in
14 hours a day rtxiting the mantra. "Bill is so smart.
Bill is wise. Bill is kind. Bill is benevolent. Bill, be my
friend ... please!"
Life changes scenery quickly from Seattle to San
Francisco when one of the programmers. Michael,
begins his own comfwny and the rest of the self-pro-
claimed Microserfs join him. In the city of hills and
trollies, the reader is then exposed to a numerous
group conversations about phone numbers, politics.
Prozac. "Melrose Place," feminism, Mary Tyler Moore
and "Star Trek."
Mix these often riveting conversations with love, dis-
aster and several more species of computer geeks with
a few healthy jabs at Apple and IBM and you get a
hilarious romp through ihe lives ol a whole American
subculture.
Microserfs is a funny and enlightening journey
through life. While it quests for identity, it's also about
friendship. In fact. Microserfs make geeks look posi
lively cool. A-f (S.G.)

It might seem to everyone who watches Karen's

that it will somehow fill up the void in her life. Karen

them and the response was very
enthusiastic."
Through ACAP.AS. various
UMass departments signed up to
"adopt" different arts sites and
projects around campus like the

ARiO GUTHklE WTTH ARE GUTHRIE
Iron Horse Music Hall
Sept. 5, 1995
NORTHAMPTON — It has been a long, dry summer
for music fans in the Valley due to the shut down of the
Iron Horse Music Hall in early lune. For the last 1 5 years,
it has been one of Northhampton's most prized posses-
sions, as it brought world class musical talent to the area
on a regular basis.
Tuesday night marked the grand re-opening of the club
highlighted by a performance of folk legend Arlo Guthrie
accompanied by his son, Abe. Before the show started, the
new proprietor. Eric Suher greeted the sold-out crowd
who gave him a roar of an applause. To add to the festivi-
ties, the mayor of Northhampton cut the symbolic red rib-
bon, marking the opening of the club. But as always it was
the music that shined the brightest.
Wearing all black. Arlo Guthrie took the stage dressed
more for a funeral than a grand re-opening celebration,
but his mood was all joyous. Son of Woody Guthrie.
America's most famed folk singer. Ario has been follow-
ing in his father's footsteps for the last 30 years. Arlo's
sound is a cross between his father's and Bob Dylan's.
Playing acoustic guitar and harmonica. Guthrie dis-
played his talent as a musician as well as a songwriter. His
son. Abe. helped out on backgrourKi vocals and keyboard.
The songs ranged from classic folk songs to tropical bal-
lads and blues numbers.
Although musically entertaining. Arlo's greatest talent
is amusing the crowd between songs. His jokes came
non-stop and brought the crowd many a laugh. At one
point, he even stopped a song half way through to tell
more jokes.
Fortunately. Arlo's not letting his comical career go to
waste as he recently wrote a book of poetry for children
(it is actually illustrated by Alice, the star of Arlo's most
famous song. "Alice's Restaurant") As a preview to the
book. Arlo shared one of his poems about moose, or as he
says mooses.
As a songwriter. Arlo may never capture the brilliance
of his father, but as an overall performer he is a world
class act. Then again, that shouldn't come as a surprise
since the Iron Horse is well known for bringing such acts
to the Valley. Let's hope it doesn't close any time soon.
Crew is not for the faint of heart,
just ask UMass women's crew coach
|im Dietz.
"It starts with stretching exercises
at 5 a.m.. and by sun-up the boat is
in the water. For the next two hours,
eight rowers and their coxswain seek
a perfect blend of group precision and
personal achievement." he said.
"That's the mental rush of rowing —
and the early morning goal is to reach
beyond one's physical limits while
keeping the shell moving steadily
towards that unsptoken dream of a
national championship."

Dietz's squad finished its champi-
onship season with a bronze medal in
the Intercollegiate Rowing
Association Regatta at Camden. N.|.
on lune 1-5. Finishing just behind
Division l-A Ivy League standouts
Cornell and Brown.
The Minutewomen were the only
1-AA crew on the water. Following a
number of successful regattas late in
the season, such as the New England
Rowing Championships and the
Champion International Regatta.
UMass shined in its flrst season as a
varsity sport.
Over the summer, five women
from UMass crew honed their skills
by competing in the Pre-Elite
Rowing camp, an accomplishment
considered a pre-cursor for the
Nationals. The five women competed
in the American Rowing
Championships in Syracuse. N.Y.
under the Thames River Sculls. The
crew's name dales back to 1987
when Dietz founded the program in
New London. Conn., where he was
head coach of the United States
Coast Guard Academy crew pro-
gram.
Minutewomen Deanna Groark and
Wendy Wilbur won gold medals in
the double event. |en Strong received
a bronze in the quad event and a gold
in the senior eight comjH.titii>n. along
with teammate Sarah lones. Jones is
competing for UMass this year, trans-
ferring from Santa Barbara. Calif.
Rounding out the honors,
Minutewomen Amy Kenny received
gold, silver and bronze medals.
Returning from regattas with a
wide array ol tiu-dals is nothing new
for the UMa.ss crew and there are two
new additions to the program. .Alter
playing a major role in leading the
crew to a successful first season, for-
mer captain Wendy Wilbur returns
this year as a graduate student and as
an assistant to assistant coach fVanna
Runeman. In addition, graduate stu
dent len Sacheck. a graduate ol
Syracuse University, will be heading
up a new lightweight program this
spring.
Dietz is looking for new rowers aiui
coxswains to carry last year's success

Rocketman returns fans' confidence
on the mound in 8-2 Oakland slam
By Howard Ulmon
Asiociated Presi
BOSTON — If there ever was
any doubt, it's gone now. Roger
Clenien> is still the ace ot the
Boston Red Sox pitching staff.
Me had a season-high 10 strike-
outs, allowed two hits after the Tirsl
inning and won his fifth straight
decision as Boston beat the
Oakland Athletics 8-2 Wednesday
night.
At the end of July. Clemens was
5-5 with a i.«l ERA. Since then.
he is 5- 1 with a 2.06 ERA.
'I didn't lose any confidence
when I fell I wasn't throwing the
ball well." Clemens said "I can't
slip out there and ju^t hide,
whether I'm the ace. the stopper ..
I rix'ognize that role and I attained
that a long time ago."
"He's getting stronger every lime
out." Boston's Mike Greenwell
said. "It's just going to be a big
plus for us gomg into the pUyofls.
We nc-ed that guy "
Boston's fifth straight win
reduced its magic number for
clinching the .M East to eight.
The Red Sox swept the two
game series, hurting Oakland's slim
wild-card chances. The A's started
the game in sixth place in the race,
four games behind Kansas C iiy
They have 21 games left. Oakland
begins a 12 game homestand
Friday night against the Chicago
White Sox.
"If we lose our upcoming homes-
tand. we are out of the race."
Rickc7 Henderson said.
Clemens (8-4) allowed four hits
and four walks in eight innings.
Rheal Cormier finished up. giving
up a run in the ninth.
Two of Oakland's first three
baiters got hits - a double by
Rickey Henderson and a run-scor-
ing single by Brent Gates. Then
Clemens retired eight straight bat-
ters.
"If it was a low-scoring game. I
thought we had a chance."
Oakland manager Tony la Russa
said, "but Clemens has been pitch-
ing real well and they've got a lot
of offensive weapons."
Gates staned the Oakland fourth
with a walk and Geronimo Berroa
singled, but Clemens struck out
two of the next three baiters and
held ihe A's to one hit — Gates'
eighth-inning single — in his last
four innings.
Clemens had at least 10 strike-
outs for the bOth time in his career.

NEW YORK — On the brink of
dropping a set for the first time in her
comeback. Monica Seles displayed
the one trait that distinguishes her
from all other players, that molded
her into a champion, and that made
her long absence so puzzling.
It was Seles' utter refusal to be
beaten, to give up under any circum-
stances, that marked her eight Grand
Slam title runs more than her strokes
or style or stamina. It was why those
who knew her believed she would
come back sooner from her stabbing.
And it was that toughness that was
all the difference Wednesday between
her and |ana Novoina.
Seles reached the semifinals of the
U.S. Open with a 7-6 (7-5). 6-2 vie
tory over Novotna that turned on
four pivotal points at the end of the
first set when Novotna served with a
6-5. 40-15 lead. The way Seles played
those points, the grit she showed
while under pressure for the first
time in 10 matches over two
tournaments, may also be the
determining factor when she plays
Friday against Conchita Martinez, a
3-6. 7-6 (7 3). 6-2 victory over
Brenda Schultz McCanhy.
In an even closer and much longer
match, 1989 men's champion Boris
Becker rcachc-d the semifinals by sur-
viving the longest duel of the tourna-
ment • 4 hours, 7 minutes • against
Patrick McEnroe. 6-4. 7-6 (7 2), 6-7
(7-3). 7-6(8-6).
Becker, who closed the match with
his 30th ace, will play defending
champion Andre Agassi, a 6-4. 6-2.
1-6, 7-5 winner over Petr Korda.
Agassi clawed back from two breaks
down at 1-4 in the fourth set. fought
off two set-points at 4-5 and broke
Korda again to score his 25th consec-
utive victory.
'Korda's a very streaky player,"
Agassi said. "You go out there and
expect him to be inconsistent. I kind
of thought he would go away after
the first two sets. I didn't quite put
the nail in the coffin.
"He got the break early in the third
and that got his game going. Next
thing you know you're in a dogfight.
... It should never have gotten to thai
point. Being from Vc"gas. I knew the
odds weren't too good to win the
fourth. But I didn't want it to go to
Ihe fifth."
Becker, who beat Agassi in the
Wimbledon semis, could use the time
off until Saturday's match after his
long struggle with McEnroe.
"The fourth set was as tough a set
as you can get." Becker said. "It just
didn't seem to end. Something always
would come up. Thank God. I kept
my cool. ... Unfortunately. I never
had a chance to play John | McEnroe]
here at the Open, but his younger
brother gave me more than a hand-
lul.-
For McEnroe, the loss offered an
important lesson.
'When it gets to be crunch time
against a guy like Becker." he said,
"you've got to really go for your shots
and not hold anything back, not just
hope he misses, because he is not
going to miss."
Seles learned that lesson long ago.
and when it was time for her to go
for broke on key points, she didn't
hesitate. Not so Novotna. Novotna
and "choke" have become synony-
mous in tennis, starling with the
Wimbledon final in 1993 and contin-
uing through the French Open this
year.
"I thought jana might choke,'
Seles said. "I know she's done it
before, so 1 knew there was a
chance."
Novotna didn't choke this time,
didn't panic and simply blow the
match as she's done before. But she
witnessed, along with nearly 20.000
fans in the packed stadium in the
heat of high noon, the way a true
champion performs.
Going for her first set-point at 40-
15. Novoina hit a hard, first serve
that Seles ripped even harder with a
forehand return down the line and
into the comer for a winner.
"I was so mad at myself." said
Seles, explaining why she slugged
that ball so hard and took such a
chance on set point. "I just went,
wow, hit it."
Thai wowed the crowd and
Novoina. who disconsolately stared
at the spot where the ball landed.
"Thai is where Monica really
showed up." Novoina said. "She
didn't worry about it at all. what the
score was. and just went for her
shots."
Seles then upstaged that shot, end-
ing a long rally by making a rare ven-
ture to the net and putting away her
first volley with a dell forehand for
deuce.
Novotna called that volley "very
gutsy." Seles described it simply as
"very nice."
For Seles, the best was yet to
coHK. She reached break point on the
next rally when Novoina drove a
forehand long, an unforced error that
once again exposed Novotna's weak-

Seles weren't so gritty.
.\\ break point, Novotna hit a
superb backhand drop shot cross-
court, angling it seemingly out of
Seles" reach. But there Seles came,
charging in from the baseline, run-
ning down the ball, and punching a
forehand down the line that Novotna
couldn't touch.
it was in that moment that Seles"
refusal to be beaten was most evi-
dent, and fans who seemed to be
holding their breath throughout the
point let out an explosive roar.
Though a tiebreaker was yet to be
played, and a stvond set still loomed,
there wasn't a doubt at that moment
that Seles would win. That feeling
would be confirmed a few minutes
later when Novotna sent a forehand
sailing five feet long to give Seles the
set.
"When I volleyed, that was a very
long point." Seles said. "She gave
back a very hard shot, and then I just
hit this great volley. But she didn't
choke. I never felt that, even in the
tiebreaker
"She is a cool cat. Maybe she needs
a little bit more of the fire."
Seles, who served poorly and softly
the first set. picked up the pace and
accuracy of her serves in the second
set to hold all the way through and
keep the pressure on Novotna.
Seles, who again wore a black
brace on her left knee for protection
against tendiniiis. asked for the first
match of the day to give herself more
time to recover for the semis. For a
while, she thought she'd play

aces in a tough match against

"She serves like a man today,"
Martinez said of her 6-foot-2 oppo-
nent. "It was I 30 mph. 105 mph sec-
ond scrxi-s It was not much I could

Teachers want tougher schools;
some may suffer from reforms
By Sally Sireef Buzbee
Associated Press
WASHINGTON - A campaign
by a teachers union to focus school
reform efforts on lighter discipline
and tougher academic standards is
the right way to go, parents and
educators say.
But civil rights activists are leery,
saying black and Hispanic school-
children could be hurt by stricter
discipline codes and fail to gain
from more rigorous standards.
Conservatives also called the
effort by the American Federation
of Teachers flawed.
"We have points of agreement
here." said Bob Morrison of the
Family Research Council in
Washington. "We share their con-
cern that schools t)e safe and order
ly. But giving parents choice |in
schools) IS the way to solve these
problems."
joined by corporate and labor
leaders, the 875.000-member
teachers union announced the cam-
paign Wednesday for "common-
sense" change.
"We're appealing to the silent
majority of parents out there who
say that first and foremost they
want safe and orderly classrooms
and high academic standards," said
AFT President Albert Shanker.
Recent polls "show a very clear
picture of what the public wants
and expects — and it happens to be
the same thing that teachers want."
Shanker said.
"I want my child to have an edu-
cation." said parent Gina Koyton,
who called herself dismayed by her
Pittsburgh schooPs failure to disci-
pline unruly children. "We, as par-
ents, cannot put up with this any-
more.*
Yet education reformers rarely
talk about discipline, instead push-
ing reforms "that may or may not
work and that parents don't under-
stand," Shanker said.
Even worse, teachers often are
overruled when they require home-
work or demand that students
behave in class, said Gregory
Toatley Sr.. a teacher at
Philadelphia's Clarence E. Pickett
Middle School.
"If you can get your school board
to set down a standard, saying
clearly what they're going to sup-
port you on. you feel more confi-
dent." Toatley said.
If schools don't focus on disci-
pline and tough academics.
Shanker said, frustrated parents
will support conservative proposals
to give parents lax money or
vouchers to pay for private schools.
But tougher discipline codes
could hurt minority children, who
already are suspended in dispro-
portionate numbers, in part
because of discrimination, said the
Rev. Joseph E. Lowery, president
of the Southern Christian
Leadership ConfereiKe.
And tougher academic require-
ments would not stop some
schools' practice of pushing minor-
ity children into less challenging
classes, Lowery said.
He said he supported the AFT
campaign, but added: 'I would
urge that we make clear that we're
talking about equity."
Shanker said the union believes
higher standards will force schools
to make sure that all children,
including minority children, take
tough classes. And. he noted, it's
often minority children who suffer
most from chaotic classrooms.
The AFT has become increasing-
ly supportive of tough academic
requirements and school account-
ability in recent years.
That has sometimes put it in
confiici with the bigger teachers
union, the 2.2 million-member
National Education Association.
But the NEA. facing a newly hos-
tile political climate in recent
months, also has focused more on
classroom issues than labor
fights.
Budget srtuggling leads to shutdown
By Waher R. Mears
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — By now. the bluster and bravado
have drawn the lines for Congress and President Clinton:
before they're finished struggling over the budget there's
bound to be some sort of shutdown in the government.
How much of it, how long and who, if anyone, really
suffers are answers to come in the next month or so. It's
happened before, when Republicans were in the While
House and Democrats controlled Congress. Those shut-
downs were partial, brief and pointless. They didn't save
money; they cost money.
And there is no evidence that the reversal in political
power roles would reverse the outcome. The pattern
before was one of threats followed by vetoes followed by
closing of government functions deemed nonessential,
after which there were settlements based on compromise.
In the current situation, the opening phase of the 1996
presidential campaign hardens both ihe rhetoric and the
positions. Clinton is running. Sen. Bob Dole is challeng-
ing, and Speaker Nc-wt Gingrich hasn't precluded a run,
so the leaders who will decide what happens all have
political points to score, and perhaps underscore.
As when Dole, the Senate majority leader, said
Republicans will fight, not settle.
"This will not be an autumn of compromise." he said,
declaring that the Republicans will win revolutionary
change vote by vote, bill by bill.
They may also have to do it veto by veto, siiKC at least
six of the 13 bills that will appropriate funds to run the
government in the fiscal year beginning Oct. I are on the
White House list to be rejected unless they are changed to
meet Clinton's objections. And that phase comes only
after Congress settles on final versions and sends them to

Volleyball starts on good note
By Chris Stamm
Collegian Staff
The University of Massachusetts
women's volleyball team swept the
three-team field of the
Hofstra/Spalding Invitational on
Sept. 1-2 in Hempstead, NY.
After defeating Lafayette and Rider
in the first two rounds, the
Minutewomen defeated host team
Hofstra 15-4. 15-3, 7- 15 and 15-5.
Massachusetts coach Bonnie
Kenny's squad on the floor included
junior outside hitter Giza Rivera with
18 kills and 1 1 digs. Sophomore out-
side hitter Lesley Nolan also recorded
a double-double earning 14 kills and
14 digs.
Another Minutewomen who was
impressive in the victory was senior
middle blocker Rachel Sky. who
totalled 1 1 kills and nine digs. Sky"s
performance on the court earned her
the Tournament"s Most Valuable
Player award while senior setter Cass
Anderson made the All-Toumament
team.
UMass now focuses its attention
on the west coast as the team travels
to Santa Barbara. Cal. to play against
perennial Top 10 team Cal-Sania
Barbara in the Santa Barbara
Tournament. The Minutewomen face
Toledo at 2 p.m. and UCSB at 7 p.m.
"To be successful, we're really
going to need to pass the ball well."
Kenny said. "Nolan, Nash, Rivera

Ki-jana Carter and cause |eff Blake
to throw even more bombs. In
Houston. Steve McNair will need
time to adjust to the NFL but will
help the rebuilding process better
than Chris Chandler, lacksonville is
the new team which will thrive in the
NFL's weakest division.
1. Cleveland — That is with Eric
Zeier running the show, not Vinny
Testa verde.
2. Pittsburgh — Bill Cowher needs
his charisma to keep his team from
thinking about last year.
J. Cincinnati — Dave Shula has
his father"s knowledge, just not the
talent.
4. lacksonville — Don't laugh, ihcy
may even be third.
5. Houston — The Astrodome is
now their own 'Temple of Doom.'
AFC West — San Diego gutted
their way past the Steelers last year,
but will need more than guts to come
away with the West this season. Mike
Shanahan is back in Denver and is
ready to take |ohn Elway and his tal-
ented receivers deep into the playoffs
with an offensive scheme that could
only run better in San Francisco.
Another Bill Walsh disciple in Mike
White has surfaced in a head coach-
ing position and will stop the fighting
on the Raiders" sidelines. Life with-
out |oe means the Chiefs go nowhere.
Some people thought the Pats made a
mistake by letting Rick Mirer go by
for Seattle to take, but who would
admit that now?
1. Denver — Elway could be a
right-handed Steve Young.
2. Oakland — Back where the
Silver and Black belong.
5. San Diego — Nalrone Means
must carry the load.
4. Kansas City — Chief problem.
Bono is no |oe.
5. Seattle — Off-season controver-
sy huri its rebuilding.
NFC East — lerry |ones wants
Deion to be a Cowboy and he is used
to getting what he wants. If he is suc-
cessful, the Big D will stand for
Domination. Buddy Ball has found a
OB in Dave Kreig and if Garrison
Hearst can run the ball effectively
they will be the third best team in the
NFC. Philadelphia brings the West
Coast offense East and it's just a mat-
ter of time before ihcy fiy with it. The
Giants and Redskins will fight futility
as they try and improve for years to
come.
1 Dallas — Free agency can't keep
them from anything less than the
NFC title game
2. Arizona — No one wants to play
against Ryan's defense.
3. Philadelphia — A year away
from greatness.
4. New York Giants — Dan
Reeves will be calling Phil Simms
back to save his job.
5. Washington — The hogs have
left and no help is in sight.
NFC Central — FJich team has a
huge problem. Whichever quarter-
back can rise above their team medi-
ocrity will be able to carry them to
the top of the division. Can Green
Bay's Brett Favrc survive without the
services of Sterling Sharpc'' The
Bears don't know who their man will
be from wi-ek to week. Warren Moon
has great receivers but he is 39 and

finish in the top two of the confer-
ence and make the A-IO Toumameni

December, the Minutewomen would
like nothing more than to take pan in
the festivities.

The Saints needed more on defense
then just Eric Allen and need a con-
ductor other than jim Mora. St. Louia
hired Rich Brooks to replace Chuck
Knox, and their best receiver (Flipper
Anderson 1 left for the Colts. Then
their best running back (lerome

2. Atlanta — |eff George firea

3. New Orleans — They will party

4. Carolina — Opponents will lake
this team lightly.

Ripken passes Gehrig
By Ben Walkef
Asuxioled Press
BALTIMORE — Cal Ripken broke
Lou Gehrig's unbreakable record
Wednesday night when he played his
2,131st consecutive game, becoming
the most dependable, most durable
athlete in the history of America's
oldest sport.
Ripken started his big night by
catching the ceremonial first-pitches
from his children, then highlighted it
by hitting a home run in the fourth
inning. Moments later the game
between his Baltimore Orioles and
California became official and he was
in the record book for now and prob-
ably forever.
More than a half-century after
Gehrig was forced out ol the lineup
by a deadly disease. Ripken streaked
past him as baseball's new Iron Man.
likely the last of his kind.
Ripken's string of starting every
game for more than IJ years seems
even more unbreakable than when
Gehrig set the mark in 1939. Major
leaguers rarely play every game even
in a single month — in fact, the sec-
ond-longest active streak belongs to
Frank Thomas at just 235.
Once resentful that he might be
known only lor his streak — he's
won two AL MVP awards, been a 1 3-
Rothenherger
lime All-Star, hit more home runs
than any shortstop ever and set near-
ly a dozen fielding records — the
Orioles star gracefully slipped into
immortality when the game became
official in the middle of the fifth
inning.
Casually, almost as matter of fact-
ly as he showed up for work day
after day, Ripken accepted the ado-
ration of the cheering hometown
fans. Patting his heart several times,
he stood on the field outside the
Orioles' dugout as players from both
teams and all four umpires joined in
the 22-minute. 15-second standing
ovation.
Pushed out of the dugout, Ripken
trotted a thank-you lap the entire way
around the stadium, shaking hands
with fans, seeking out those of the
children in particular. The usually
low-key Ripken even jumped above
the center field wall to slap high
fives.
When he came to the Angel^■
dugout, he went down the line shak-
ing everv hand while Bobby Bonilla
and other Orioles captured the event
on video cameras.
The tribute began when the 10-
foot numbers on the B&O warehouse
across the street from the stadium
dropfx-d to reveal 2- 1 - 3- 1 . Fireworks
exploded overhead, near where a
blimp displayed the sign "CAL IS 1."
During the ceremony Ripken took
off his No. 8 jersey and handed it to
his wife and two children, revealing a
black T-shirt he wore that said on the
back: '•2.1 3U HUGS AND KISSES
FOR DADDY"
Ripken shook hands with his
brother Billy, his long-time second
base partner with the Orioles who
took a day off from his Triple A
Buffalo team and missed a minor
league playoff game to attend.
A sellout crowd at Camden Yards
that included President Clinton and
Vice President Al Gore began pop-
ping flashbulbs as soon as Ripken
stepped on the field for practice, and
standing ovations followed him wher-
ever he went.
To Ripken, breaking Gehrig's
record has just been a matter of
wanting to play, of showing up each
day al work ready to do a job.
Until lately, that is, when the
weight of what his streak meant
started to set in.
"I don't think 1 got to sleep last
night," he said Wednesday afternoon.
"I think the last time I lookcxj at the
clock, it was around 3.
Tm trying not to think too much
about it. I'm almost fearful that if I
do. I'll get caught up in it and lose
niv focus."
conllnuecJ fiom page 1 2
ever has. but she's also taking more ol a vocal leadership
role." Donnelly said. "She is demanding of other players
that they step up.
Despite everything she has done, Rothenbcrger is still
often overlooked on the national scene, when
All-America teams are picked
"I think she is one of the top players in the nation I
don't know why she doesn't get more attention," Donnelly
said. "But she doesn't care. For her. it's all team. She ju!.t
wants to win. I'll take her on my team every chance."
If Rothenherger keeps getting the ball at the end of
games, there's a pretty good chance they will.

UMass takes season opener;
Rudy wins 100th at UMass
By Justin C. Smith
G>lleg>an Start
If you can use the first game as a
barometer to a season, then the
question of who will score for the
Massachusetts women's soccer
team has been answered.
Losses of Heidi Kocher. Melissa
Mitchell and Nicole Roberts left a
void up front but senior co-captain
Rachel LeDuc recorded her first
collegiate hat trick as UMass ( 1-0)
easily disposed of St. Bonaventure
(0-1). 5-0. on Sept. 2.
LeDuc was assisted twice by
junior halfback Rebecca Myers and
once by fullback Erin Lynch.
Though LeDuc was the player
credited with the goals, she attrib-
uted much of her success to the
teammates surrounding her.
"We all worked together well. I
just happened to be the one !•> get
the goals." LeDuc said. "All I had
to do was put my foot on th^ ball."
LeDuc will be looked to as a
leader on this team and her experi-
ence is a part of her play that
UMass coach |im Rudy feels will
help in her developing a scoring
touch.
"It"s nice to see." Rudy said.
"She's the only returning scorer up
front and so she has more space
now. More space means you can
operate more. She's the big cheese
up there and that's got ot help her
confidence."
LeDuc's perfonnance earned her
A- 10 women's sotcer player of the
week honors.
The Minutewomen used the
strength of the their lineup to take
control of the game in LeDuc,
Myers and defenders Lynch and
Amanda Thompson.
"Rebecca | Meyers] was in con-
trol in the middle of the field,"
UMass coach |im Rudy said.
"Almost every ball in ihc air was
hers. On the ground she made
some very nice services, they were
playing a clearance trap and that
was busted three or four times in a
row and they switched to a deep
sweeper. She had a big hand in
I hat.

Women's soccer notes : The win
over the Bonnies was the 1 00th of
Rudy's tenure at UMass. After his
first game of his eighth season as
coach of the Minutewomen,
Rudy's record stands at
100-50-10.
"It is well deserved and it was
great to be a part of it," said
LeDuc. "Hopefully there will be a
200th win for him."
LeDuc and the rest of his players
acknowledged the accomplishment
by giving the coach a bottle of
champagne and a card.
"The women were very nice
about it," Rudy said. "I really
wasn't thinking about it, but it was
nice that they thought about it."
Even the St. Bonaventure crowd
was told of the achievement as it
was announced over the P.A. sys-
tem, but the coach down played
the milestone.
"I didn't score one goal,* Rudy
said. "I have never scorvd a goal at
UMass, the girls have to go out on
the field and play the games."

Field hockey wins in double OT
By Brian Perillo &
Matt Vautour
Coll«gian Staff
Seven yards.
In field hockey a penalty stroke is
as close as you come to one on one.
One player against the goalie, with
only seven yards between them.
With 5:02 remaining in the second
overtime, junior midfielder Kyle
Rothenberger capped off UMass' first
win of the season by flipping a penal-
ly stroke past Boston College goalie
Sarah Egnaczyk. The goal broke a
scoreless tie and secured the
Minutewomen's 1-0 victory over the
Eagles.
"She's clutch."
Massachusetts coach
Megan Donnelly said.
"She comes up best in
the big moments."
UMass was awarded the stroke
when Egnaczyk was called for lying
on top of the ball in front of the goal.
The Eagles' goalie had gotten tied up
with UMass' sophomore forward
Missy Sweeney.
The victory evened out UMass'
record at 1-1. and gave them some
momentum heading into a big week-
end confrontation with Maryland.
"We needed a win. especially
before the road trip." Massachusetts
goalie Stacy Walker said.
"It would have been one long bus
ride if we had to go to Maryland after
opening up 0-2 at home." Donnelly
said.
UMass would have had to deal
with that long bus ride had it not
been for some overtime heroics from
Walker, as well.
As the first overtime wound down.
Walker was called for an intentional
takedown during a scuffle in front of
the goal with 1:16 remaining on the
clock, forcing a penally stroke. BC
senior Alexi Siglin lined up seven
yards from the net to take the stroke
for the Eagles.
Siglin's shot was high and to
Walker's right, and the UMass keeper
was able to deflect it away with her
stick.
"That save was such a big shift in
momentum." Donnelly said. "The
team is really starting to have conH-
dencc in Stacy."
"Her save really got us going."
Rothenberger said. "It brought us out
of our rut."
Walker has stepped into the big
Massachusetts 1
Boston College 0
shoes of last year's goalie and
Atlantic 10 Player of the Year Hilary
Rose.
"Stacy played incredibly,"
Rothenberger said. "She has come
out of Hilary's shadow, and made a
name for herself."
UMass and Boston College were
engaged in a defensive showdown
during regulation. The Minulewomcn
held the edge in penalty comers. ^-5.
but neither team was able to capital-
ize.
BC had the last real chance for the
win with ^3 seconds left on the
clock, but Rothenberger broke up an
Eagle penalty comer, proving she can
make the big play on
defense as well as
offense.
Under the neu
NCAA rules, both
teams began overtime
with only six players and goalies on
the field.
UMass got a scare when its senior
defensive leader Andrea Cabral was
hit in the arm by the bail less than
two minutes into the extra period.
Cabral was tended to by the trainer,
but was able to stay in the game.
The Minulewomen had an excel
lent opportunity to put the ganu
away when UMass received a penalty
corner with 10:44 remaining.
Egnaczyk was able to make a diving
save to her right to thwart a
Rothenberger shot and keep the
game scoreless.
The Eagles had another key chance
to win when UMass was assessed
three penalty comer shots in ju.st over
a minute, beginning with 4:1'5 left in
the first OT. Walker and the
Minulewomen defense, however,
were able to step up to the challenge.
"The defense was strong all game."
Walker said. "They were able to push
everything out to the sides, and
avoided all one-on-oncs for me."
This was the second time in as
many games the Minulewomen have
gone into double overtime this sea-
son.
'It s a lot of running for us. and for
me it's a lot of thinking." Walker
said.
"We needed a game like this where
we fought through and play lough
and finished." Donnelly said. "We'\e
seen btuh ends of the spec I rum "

Minutemen pummel
UMaine Black Bears
By Laigh Torbin
Collegian Stotf
Massachusetts
Maine
With 1994 A- 10 Rookie of the Year
Karsien Bremke sidelined with a groin
pull, junior Dave Siljanovski stepped
forward, spurring the University of
Massachusetts men's soccer team
(2-0-1) to a 4-1 drubbing of Maine
(1-2) yesterday before 564 in atten-
dance at Richard F. Garber Field.
Siljanovski served
up a perfect corner-
kick to the head of
Mike Butler at the
23:39 mark and later
added a pair of goals of his own, as
the Minutemen, ranked fifth in New
England, captured their second victo-
ry of the young season
The Black Bears entered the match
ranked seventh in New England, but
following an impressive opening 70
minutes, slowly saw their strength
dwindle. UMass was able to capitalize
by posting a pair of goals in the final
1 5 minutes to secure the victory.
"It's a good win." UMass coach
Sam Koch said. "Maine's a tough
learn but ihey ran out of gas at the
end. We had a lot of young players
playing, with Karsien out of the mid-
dle, and we weren't sure going in
how we'd control the middle of the
field. But Steve Jones did a good job
and we gol a good all-around effort
from everyone. I'm very pleased."
"We knew coming in that this
would be a tough New England game."
Siljanovski said. "We needed respect
going into the BU game, the Hartford
game and the UNH game, with them
ranked ahead of us in the poll."
Maine opened the match with a
ferocious swarming defense, keeping
10 players inside their own 18 on sev-
eral early UMass attacks. Maine main-
tained the pressure, tenaciously attack-
ing the ball carrier with up to five men.
The first serious Minuteman oppor-
tunity came as Siljanovski collected a
Butler pass and rocketed a shot off
the left post, in the 22nd minute.
Siljanovski relumed the favor on
the ensuing cornerkick by lofting a
perfect ball right to the head of
Butler, who flicked it past Maine
goalkeeper Nathan Benoit.
The Black Bears roared back, jusi
33 seconds later, as Mike Dunphy
tiptoed around UMass sweeper
Bennie Sheally and fired a low shot
past goalkeeper Eric Gruber.
While a precision short passing
game started to open up windows in
the Maine defense, the UMass defense
was solid, blocking a pair of drives by
Maine off of a direct kick in the 33td
minute, joe lacobson's stellar job of
Slopping Maine's top scorer lake
Ouimet helped hold off the Black
Bears.
UMass took the lead for good at
the 43:07 mark as Siljanovski sailed a
25-yard freekick over the six-man
Maine defensive wall
and just inside the
lop left comer.
Maine spread out
their offense to open
the second half, producing some seri-
ous opportunities, but Gruber had to
make but one save in registering his
second win of the year.
By the 70th minute. Maine finally
collapsed after receiving a pair of yel-
low cards at the 76:20 mark, their
third and fourth of the match.
lust nine seconds later. UMass was
awarded a penalty shot after jared
Morse tripped Siljanovski. Benoit was
able to get a hand on it and dcfiect
Siljanovski's shot, but could not keep
it out of the net. as the Minutemen
took a 3-1 lead. The goal was
Siljanovski's fourth in three games.
"That's ISiljanovski'sl job. to score
goals." Koch said. "He's doing it now
and what's great is that even if they
put two men on him. [Colin] Johnson.
Butler and |Paul| Corcoran and oth-
ers can score some goals for us. It's
great that there's not as much pres-
sure on Siljanovski and that's part of
the reason why he's putting them in."
junior Fabio Manialty, a transfer
from Liberty University, closed the
scoring with his first UMass goal, off
of a Brad Kurowski feed, just 31.5
seconds from full-time.
Corcoran, a freshman, continued his
exceptional play for the Minutemen
yesterday. In each of the first three
matches, Corcoran's play offensively,
defensively and in the midfield has
been sensational. Corcoran's precise
throw-ins added another weapon lo
the UMa.ss arsenal yesterday, as well as
in the win over La Salle and tie with
Virginia Tech this past weekend.
"(Corcoran's] done an outstanding
job." Koch said. 'He's not playing
like a freshman. He stepped in when
wc needed him to do a go<.)d job for
us and he's been able lo do it."
UMass will return to action

Sunday.
lust 5:45 into the second overtime.
joAnne Forlin converted on a
rebound to beat Walker and give
UNH the victory.
In addition to the loss,
Massachusetts may have lost senior
Kerry Metelski for ihe season.
Melclski. who was scheduled lo start,
fractured a bone in her leg during
warm-ups. Sophomore Courtney
Mac Lean replaced her in the staning
line-up.
Three freshmen cracked UMass'
staning lineup as Kate Puinam. Erica

saw considerable action.
In fad IXjnnelly showed so much
confidence in lohnslon and Puinam
she led both players in the game for
the six-on- six overtime.
As Kyle Rothenberger stepped
up to take the penally stroke with
5:02 left in double overtime.
Massachusetts coach Megan
Donnelly turned to her bench.
"Erica, gel ready lo get back in
there." she said lo freshman for-
ward Erica lohnslon.
"But coach it's going lo be over
... it's Kyle." she respondc"d.
lohnslon was right.
Rothenberger calmly stepped lo
the line and flicked il past Boston
Coll.-ge goalie Sarah Egnaczyk lo
give UMass the 1-0 win.
After Missy Sweeney forced the
stroke, there wa> no debate or dis-
cussion on the sideline over who
would take the stroke.
Rothenberger siepf>ed in.
"She is clutch. She comes up
best in the big moments."
Donnelly said. "There's never a
doubt. In those moments. Kyle
gels the shot. She's come through
so many times."
For Rothenberger. scoring big
goals has become almost routine.
Of her 14 career goals. 10 of ihem
have been game winners.
As a Ireshman. against
then-defending National
Champion Old Dominion.
Rothenberger scored ne game
winner to give UMass only its
ihird-ever victory over the peren-
nial power.
Almost exactly a year later, the
Gilbertsville. Penn.. native did
herself one belter.
The 1994 Minulewomen were
coming off a shaky stretch in their
season that included three lies
against Rutgers. Northeastern and
Syracuse, as well as a 2-0 loss to
Old (X)minion going into a show-
down with No. I Nonh Carolina,
who entered the game undefeatcxi.
Alter a scoreless regulation,
Rothenberger stepped up and
fired home Ihe game winner to
elfeciively turn UMass' season
around.
One week later against No. 2
and eventual 1994 National
Champion, lames Madison, she
came through again.
With her team down 1-0, it was
Rothenberger's penally stroke
goal that forced overtime and
enabled UMass to pull off its sec-
ond upset in as many weeks.
With those previous big goals
on her resume, the Minulewomen.
like lohnslon, come to just expect
production from the All-America
candidate.
Stacy Walker, who stymied the
Eagles' best chance to win by
blocking their penalty stroke, said
that she knew the game was over
as soon as the stroke was c?lled.
"I knew It was in." said the
junior goalkeeper. "She has all 18
of us confident."
The confidence Rothenberger
has, when she steps up for a
stroke, plays a key role in her suc-
cess.
"I'm confident with my strokes,
I've practiced them a lot. You just
have to go up with head up.
shoulders high and intimidate the
goalie."
According lo Donnelly, you can
predict Rothenberger's success
jusI by looking at her.
"You see something in her eye
and you know its going in."
Donnelly said.
As a midfielder. Rothenberger
doesn't worry about just offense,
as she has been solid defensively,
as well.
With 33 seconds left in regula-
tion, BC had a penalty comer and
a chance lo capture the game.
Rothenberger came out and
defiected the shot, thwarting the
Eagle scoring opponuniiy.
What Rothenberger has added
goes beyond what she does on the
field On a team that starts three
freshmen, both vocally and by
example. Rothenberger has clearly
emerged into a leader.
"I try to use the experience I
have to help everybody." she said.
"Wc all help each other."
While Rothenberger was mod-
est. Donnelly continued to laud
her star player's leadership.

by his long comeback and is focused on the task at
hand.
"I was talking lo in> cousin last week and he said
that you got to remember Ihal the game doesn't change,
it's football and you've got to reinember thai." he said.
"You have lu step in and do what needs to be done."
Campanile is certain his knee problem will not hinder
his periomiancc on the field. He knows woirying about
an injury can only hurt his game, he feels blocking out
the fwin and self-infiicled pressure is the way to go.
"My knee is as good as it's going to gel. I'm fine.
Would I say it were 100 percent? No." Campanile said.
"I'm not worried about it when I go out there. I'm
ready to go."
The decision is made, the knee is intact, and now
Campanile is one of the main allraclions of the
Minuteman attack. Me is the favored quarterback at
practice and the UMass offense prepares for its first
game with its field general.
"I feel d lot better and I feel a lot more comfortable
because I'm getting a lot more reps with the people
that are going to be in the game," he said. "That is a
big factor."
Choosing the starting quarterback was a very diffi-
cult decision for Hodges. Campanile's preseason per-
fomiance forced Hodges to ask his three-year starter
and incumbent at quarterback. McNeilly. lo lake the
back seat and give Campanile shotgun for the start of
the season.
"Overall. V'ilo demonstrated an ability to move the
team and make plays better than the other guys."
Hodges said. "He's been consistent and we need some-

Who will win
Prime Time
Sweepstakes?
Is this the year for the AFC lo
finally win a Super Bowl? If Deion
Sanders returns home lo Miami lo
play for Don Shula. the answer could
very well be yes. The line to sign
Prime Time forms at the rear and the
winner of the Sanders sweepstakes
will be the odds on favorite to take
home the 30ih Lombardi trophy. The
AFC has caught up to the NFC with
talented teams overall, but only the
Dolphins are a serious threat to
Dallas and San Francisco this year.
Without further adieu, here is how
Ihe teams slack up
SophofTtore quarterback Vito Campanile will take the first snap for UMass in its home"openeraaainst
Richmond on Saturday. aomji
Al C Ld>i — rile most competitive
division in the NFL. Is this Don
Shula and Dan Marino's farewell
lour? If they win it all. ihey will leave
on lop. The Big Tuna has a running
back now to compliment Drew
Bledsoe, but the Pat's are just a
defensive line away from the big
dance. The Bills need to deal their
aging stars for young prospects in
order to rebuild. The Colt's will sur-
prise a lot of people and Marshall
Faulk will run wild with a real quar-
terback lo accompany him. Rich
Kotitc had talent with the Eagles and
couldn't win when it counted, how
can he help the talent-depleted lets?
I Miami — One more Prime Time
off-season deal to make and they can
reserve hotels in Tempe, Az. for
lanuary.
2. New England — Can Bledsoe's
arm score more points then its
defense will allow?
3. Indianapolis — Can anyone stop
Faulk?
4. Buffalo — Without the Fountain
of Youth, Kelly and Co. won't go
anywhere.
5. New York lets — Bubby Brister
is not the answer.
AFC Central — Pittsburgh should
have been in the Super Bowl last year
and free agent losses will hurl
tremendously. Cleveland has the

At tlie U. of California. Irvine,
"Kranil>led eggs" liave taken on a new
and disturtHng meaning
In June, ttiree panels appointed by
ttte university found ttiat Rtcardo Ascti,
a fertility specialist at UCI's Center for
Reproductive Healtli, liad transplanted
patients eggs and emt>ryos and con-
ducted lesearcti on tfiem witfraut die
donors' knowledge or consent.
Officials at UCI announced in July
that as many as 35 women may have
been involved in improper transplanta-
tion ot eggs and embryos at the clinic
Tfie panel also found that at least nine
patients received a non-FDA-approved
fertility drug
The initial findings by ttie panet
refeated m June estimate<l tfiat only
five women received eggs trom non-
consenting donors
Tlw accuMtions alleged that Asch

r the undeclared income
Tha Inwstigation stemmed Irom
reports, dating to February
19M, filetl by various administrators
who dealt with ttie clinic Because ttie
invesbgation began seven months later,
UCI alao was accused of neglecting to
respond quickly to tfie complaint, but
ttie panels didn't sustain ttie allegation,
Fran Tardifl, a university
spokesperson, says ttie investigation
progressed slowly because the physi-
cians refused to produce tfie necessary
records and information The panel also
found that ttie university acted as
quickly as it could to put together ttie
investigations, Tardifl says All three
(hictors have denied any wrongdoing.
On June 2, the university terminated
Its contract with the clinic and told its
doctors to remove their medical equip-
ment from campus
Alttiough Ihe preliminary investiga-
tion is over, Tardiff says that the uni-
versity IS in the process of suing the
clink: tor records tfiat tfie physicians
have refused to release. Until those
documents are recovered, "tfie true
scope of ttie wrongdoings will remain
unknown," stiesays.
"The doctors were nvrong, and a lot
ot people here feel it was wrong for UCI
to cover tfiis up," says Ken Felipe, a
sophomore at UCI. "It's not realty tlw
talk of Ibe school or anything. ... But I
think an explanation of exactly what
happened and what the scfiool will do
aliout it should be published."

I ng Magic: Ihe (iathering.
Invented by Kithatd (iarfield. a f4)rmer
inathemaiits professor at Whitman ("ol-
lege in Washingtrm. Magit is a role-play-
ing fantasy game a la Dungeons and Drag-
ons that uses poker-deck-sized plaving
cards to cast spells, summon creatures ind
conquer lands.

".Magic combines the natural fun of play-
ing a game with the toilet tabiliiy aspect." says

colorful cards. Inaring images of scaly drag-
ons, lush landstapes and wizards were
designed by several artists to give each a
unitjue i|uality.
Originally targeted at tollege students,
interest in the game has expanded to include
people ot all ages. .Magic is now so ptipular
that Wizards of the (^last is able to deliser
only one-tenth of the 'XMl million decks ot
cards ordered.
"It s brought a lot of new people into
game and hobby shops." says U. of Minneso-
ta senior John Srephenson. manager of
I'boenu dames. 'Ive taught more than 150
people to plav."
Players can accoutre cards and build their
decks by trading or betting on the game s
outcome. "I usually don't jbet my cards],
because it's so random." says U. of Iowa
senior Doug C'arlson. "flo bet|. you just
pick a card from your deck — it could be
anything,"
Players say Magic offers the chance to
think strategically, pass the time — even take
on a new pcrsimality.

you imagine Quentin Tarantino

Shiny, Happy
People
The latchkey lulls of the '80s are flying
into the real world with more emotional
baggage than can fit into the overhead
compartment
There are statistics to prove it: Those
bom after 1955 are three times as likety to
suffer from depression as those born before,
and since 1945. the 20-ta-29 age group has
more than tripled its suicide rate Simply
put. many members ol our Breakfast Club
won't be joining us for lunch
But now there's Prozac
Since Its introduction in 1988. Prozac
has become tt)e second most commonly
prescnbed drug in the country And because
nonpsychiatric physicians can prescribe
Prozac, it's also being used to treat an ever-
wider range of afflictions and bad habits —
smoking, PMS. weight control, premature
ejaculation, you name it.
But despite its versatility and impressive
65 percent success rate in treating depres-
sion, everyone reacts differently to the won-
der drug of the '90s. Sally, an Orange Coast
College junior, had quit school, used
amphetamines and cocaine, was bulimic
and fought constantly with family and
friends. Today, two years after going on
Prozac, Sally is a drug-lree 4.0 student who
enjoys a happy, productive life
Then there's Lillian, a recent U. ol Texas
graduate who found Prozac's side effects lo
be nothing but trouble.
'It screwed up my sex life," LilNan says.
"I was no longer orgasmic."
This IS a consequence that often divides
users atong gerMler lines Women are irked
by ttie reductwn of sexual sensation, while
guys claim Prozac makes them Energizer
bunnies of love
Surprisingly, it's not cases like Lillian
that concern skeptics, but success stones
like Sally's Critics worry about the long-
term effects of taking Prozac Some fear
future medical problems, while others envi-
sion a New World Order society of passion-
less roirats
Ridiculous'' Yes But these concerns are
valid, since Prozac will undoubtedly alter
the events that unfold in our lifetime The
question for our generation is: Witl the
change be for better or worse?
If a substanhal portion ot the population
IS on Prozac, how will that affect, say, poli-
tics'' Would John F Kennedy have been
voted in by an electorate of Prozac poppers?
If so, would Oswald, if on Prozac, still have
assassinated him? Would a chemically bal-
anced Jim Morrison still have written "The
End, " ttien overdosed himself into oblivion''
Or would he have written more sanguine
pop songs ("A Fresh Start "?) and be partici-
pating in a loint reunion tour with the Eagles
right about now''
As we bravely march toward the end of
the millennium, Prozac, for Iwtter or worse,
is now part of our arsenal. And like any
device, it is only as helpful or destructive as
the person who uses H.

But even Rugate wouldn't say that dating's de.id
"lust altered signitieantly It s not the '>(K idea

Ihal s it. It's not ihat dating s de-ad. It s thai n's

packed away with our band iackcis and prom key
chains.
"People are still doing the old-fashioned
thing. " says Renec Norcolt, a senior at San
Diego State U. "But only if they want to
impress someone. In college, there are no
parents to impress. Your friends aren't
going to see you meeting someone at
your locker like in high schtKil."
Exactly. We're at college to
meet new and different people, to
expand our horizons. Not to hole
up with one person for four years.
"I have a lot more fun when I
go out with a bunch of people,"
says Robert Garcia, a junior at Flori-
da International U. "I've never
actually tried to meet a female [to
dale] at schixjl."
Norcoti has a boyfriend now. but
she didn't jump into a relationship.
"The first year, I casually dated a
whole lot of people. Dates were
more hanging out with friends
than going on ,i formal date."
No. dating s not dead.
"Maybe sleeping," says Roger
Sikes. a sophomore at the I', of ("eniral Arkansas.
"It s harder to find someone who wants to settle
down during college. Ihey |usi want to have fun."
Since college is by its very nature a iransiion
experience, it makes sense to shy away from com
miiment.
".A lot of students don't know where they re
going to be after gr.iduaiion,"" Nonoit [Miints out.

It dalings sleeping, when will it wake up? Just in
time to enter the Real >X'orld. for many. Now. while
you're surrounded by people of similar ages and
interests, us OK to be unattached.
After colk-gc. though, you may not live in a col-
lege town. The pool ol eligible singles gets smaller.
Relatives and triends — who when you were 18 said
you were too young to get serious and that vou
should concentrate on school — begin making that
ticking noise.
" I he older I get, the more pressure I feel lo have a
boytriend and to date seriously," UN("s Hugate says.
"Peoples priorities change," San Diego's Nor-
coti explains. "They fsecome more concerned with
finding a person who would benefii them socially
and be a lifetime male (ioing to a bar with beer on
sports night might become going to a nice dinner."
HU's (iarcia compares the change to the transi-
tion from high scho<»l to college.
" I here was this whole group of people you only
saw during class. Once you graduated, you saw only
your good friends. I guess the same thing might
happen. You get better jobs, more responsibilities.
You have less time to just hang out."

holds as much water as a stale Cioinmuiuon water. From

Some students would like to forget the religious regimen dic-
tated by well-meaning parents. To many of us, (kxI was some-
one who held up dinner and wasn't too keen on coveting.
But acc«)rding to (Cynthia Kisser, executive director of the
Cult Awareness Network (C\A.N'.), more college students are
turning to less-.structured or nondenominational religions. Kiss-
er reports an increasing number of complaints about Bible-
based groups preying on this resurgence of student interest in
spiritual issues.

Marks of
a Destruc-
tive Cult
• Thought reform — Mem-
bers are manipulated, coerced
or persuaded to act or think in
accordance with the cult.
• Charismatic leadership —
One person or a small group ot
individuals at the top makes all
of the decisions and filters
selective information to the
lower levels.
• Deception or hidden
agendas (often financial)
• Isolation of members —
Members often dissociate
themselves from family and
friends who are not involved in
ttie organization.
• Exploitation of members
— Members may be required to
give an excess amount of
money or energy to special
projects.
• Special or divine purpose
— The rights and indepen-
dence ot members are sec-
ondary to the goals of the
group.

Bill (iiccnc. diiciioi ol public relations at Ihe

'^ou do not |iiin. Il s a frcv-willed decision."
Will and The Way
Kamoiia .Mera/. a J I -vear-old Ari/ona State I',
senior, is a ■Killower ' ot The Way International.
According to .Vlera/. the \X'ay teaches followers
how to ask questions and find answers in The
VX'ord Kicxl's).
'Anyone who has been to a NX'ay (ellowship or
meeting can tell you that nothing strange giK-<. on,"
.Mera/ savs.
NX'itnessing. evangeli/ing, pioneering — whatev-
er the term — makes up part of the wc-eklv wiirk lor
lollowers. Mera/ asks new friends to come to at
least one fellowship service.
".\ lot ol friends I've brought to fellowship do
come back." Mera/ says. '"They don I necessarilv
have the same commitment I do. but thev see
that they've been blessed."
(liambalvo says that new members t\pKall\
desiite only a tc-w da>s a week to the gniup. but with
time, the commitment involves more (xriphcral amv
ities. such as picnics, date nights and Bible studies
(irane counters that people who fellowship with
I he Vt'ay work only three to tour
hours per week.
In addition to doing course
work for Ihe \Xav. attending fel-
lowship meetings and reading Ihe
VCord dailv. Mera/ supports her-
self and receives grades worthy of
grams and schrilarships.
Mera/ is considering dedicating
her life to ministry in The Wav
('orps, but her postgraduate plans
.ircn t set in stone.
I qually contused about post-
graduate life is 2,^year-old Jennifer
Steedly, a former jehosah's VXiiness
and recent V. of Oregon graduate.
Stcx-dly W.IS a ^X■itnes^ before she
started college. A.s a XX'itncvs, she was-
n t alkmi-d to d.iie. celi-l>rate binhdays or partici(ute in
sports ot extracurricular actlvitic^.
"I was socially atrophied." Steedly says. "At hrst
11 was easier basing people know I was a \Xitni-ss
because it excused my ignorance. Now only m»
close friends know."
During high schiHil, Steedly pioneered door to
door lor (>0 hours a month. .After graduating.
Sieediv pioneered '>(> hours a month and had a
pan lime job to pa\ for living expenses.

(ietting out can tse as difhculi 4> being in a cult,
bul many do eventually leave. Kxit cininseling is a
voluntary methiMl of iniersention. ^X'itb deprogram
ming. members are lorced to listen to a coiinsckir.
Sieedly was a NX'itness for a year before her
father, who w.is not a VXitness. got her exit counscT
ing. He became concerned when Sleediv decided
not lo attend college.
"doing to college was deepiv frowned upon,
she says. They felt the end of ihe world was near
and vour highest priority should be proselvti/ing."
At first, Steediv refused to speak with the exit
counselors. I ventiially. she watched a succession of
videos about mind control, cults and the WitncAses
and became convinced Steedly that she had been
deceneil by the leaders of the \X'itnesses.
Her laith in (iod was the only thing that kept
her sane after leaving the \X itnesses, Steedly says. By
leaving, she lost contact with all of her family and
friends still involved with the Witnesses.
"I've learned that there's a huge difference
between believing in (iod and being religious. "
Steedly says. "I don't consider myself a religious
[H-rson. bui I still believe in tiod."
IVstructive cults and myths go hand in hand,
.iccording to Kisser. One of the predominant myths
IS that people who get involved in these organiza-
tions are weak-minded or have some sort of psvcho-
logical pn)blem.
"VC'e (at C. A.N.I want to emphasize that every
one is a potential recruit." But/ adds. " Iherc are
plenty ol good people |in cults) — good people
taught up in a bad thing."

Cult classics every college
student should see
Here are some core ptcks — best viewei) at mNhitght. of course
T»i» RmrmllaM VIsiv (1974, Alan J Pakula) The scanest conspiracy
lilm ol all time puts JFK to shame Warren Beatty plays a reporter who gets caught
up in a wet) ol intrigue and murder while investigating the assassinations ol politi-
cal ligures So cynical and dark a version ol America that even the light at the end
ol ttie tunnel is dim
Sp4<fr Bmt»y (1964 Jack Hill) And you thought John Waters (Pink
flamingos) «*as wctrd. This tale ol a family ol inlued killers is the standard old dart(
house genre with hwists so kinky they put hard-core fetishists to shame. Classic
eiploitation lilmmaking
Hmm<i (1968, Bob Rafelsoni Starring the Monkees and written by Jack
Nicholson, this is Ihe only truly successful (although not financially) psychedelic
film It's an active deconstruclion of the pretab teenybopper rock stars, and it rev-
els in smashing icons — the group appears as dandruff in a hair commercial •! one
point — and hweaks the nose of rock movies in general. Even the musK It gmd.
A auckmt €jt Bloo<t (1959. Roger Cofman) Made in two days, M*
strange little horror story about a coffeehouse busboy with dreams of being a
sculptor proves that ultra-low-budget films can be not only well-made but also
more witty and subversive than shidio protects. Walter Paisley wants so badly to
impress the artists wfio hang around the cafe that he's willing to kin. . .
accidentally, at first.
Jo» Vmrmum t#i« Volcano (1990. John Patrick Shanley) With
Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan'' Yes. It's a criminally underrated allegory of the
movie business — with a bad ending tacked on by timid producers This one
combines the elements ot magical realism; Brechtian theater, pulp '30s serials
and cowboy songs. Some ol the best lunatic romantic dialogue ever lensed. The
story IS daffy, as are the characters. That's the best part Don't believe what
you've heard.
a Cnt» Wlng»€l Smrpant) (1982, Urry Cohen) A prehistoric god
in the form of a giant pterodactyl has built a nest in the Chrysler building' You real-
hl don't need lo know any more about it. except that it elevates the standards lor
characteriiation in B-grade horror hims with an impressive array of actors who are
raalhr allowed to act (Also see God Told Me To by Cohen )
Tit* Trial (1963, Orson Welles) The consummate Kafka nigmmare done
up )n datsicaMy expressionist detail by die greatest director of all ttme The spaces
squeeze Josef K. into odd comers, just like the plot does The real story lies in the
shadows, barely visible.
A M«w Loaf (1971, Elaine May) Starring Walter Mafthau, this long-tost
daili comedy is about class in America told through the eyes of star crossed lovers
One of them spends most ol the him hying lo kill the other in order to save the
family lotlune (in ttw vein of r/w HuUng OKst, which is also highly recommended).
••y Brmakfmmt With mtmmmlo (1983, Johnny Legend. Linda
Lautrec ) Starring Andy Kauhnan. this satire ol the pretentious My Dinner With
Andretakes place at a Sambo's restaurant in Los Angeles Two characters order
greasy food and chew the tat about their careers as entertainers and wrestlers. So
subtle it s almost not even there But it is The loke is on you Nothingness hasn't
been so absurd since Wailing tor Godot
Fortildtian Zon» (1980, Richard Eltman) Odd nightmare set in
what looks like a Betty Boop cartoon ot hell, all of which breaks loose Freaks
and perverts abound as Queen Doris and King Fausto battle for control ol the
forbidden zone, where Oingo Boingo make the music and everybody scores.
Consummate cult.
OK, we ran out of space. But here are some more cult movies you won't want to
miss: Little Slwp ot Horrors (original). The Slate of Ttiings. Invasion of Ilie Body
Snatctiers. Ttie Cars tliat Ate Paris, Children Shouldn I Play with Dead Things and
Mickey One (a Holy Grail of cult filmdom — starring Warren Beatty).

Arts receive grant money from lottery;
Megabucks is source for $14 A million
By Paul HayM
Collegian Sloff
Area organizations are the benefi-
ciaries of a large amount of
Massachusetts slate -appropriated
funding collected from a popular lot-
tery game.
The Massachusetts Cultural
Council (MCC) awarded over 50
Hampshire County arts and cultural
groups a combined $406,250.
This grant money came from the
$14.1 million raised by the
Megabucks lottery game earmarked
for the Cultural Council, This is a 19
percent increase from last year's
funding, according to Lisa Safier,
communications coordinator for the
MCC.
One of the recipients of this arts
funding was jazz in July, a program
coordinated by Mark Baszak, the
associate director for multicultural
programs at the University of
Massachusetts.
lazz in |uly is an intensive two
week priigram which allows students
to study with some master ja// musi-
cians. Baszak said.
He added that $4,000 awarded to
lazz in |uly will go towards providing
people with full and half scholarships
to attend the program.
"Grant money is
given out through a
competitive process, "
- Lisa Siificr
"Grant money is given out
through a competitive process,"
Safier said.
Groups which are vying for the
MCC money must fill out an applica
lion, and the applications are then
scrutinized by independent panels
consisting ol both the applicants'
peers and other "lay people," Safier
said.
According to the Northampton
Arts Council, the $25,520 which they
received is going to be used on two
particular projects.
One of the projcvts the money will
fund is "Four Sundays in February,"
an arts series which will take place at
the Academy of Music in
Northampton.
Grant funds are also to be used for
the constructit)n of a kiosk in the
center of Ntirihampion which will be
both a work of art and an informa-
tion center, including a schedule of
upcoming arts and cultural events in
Northampton.
Applications for the MCC grants
are judged by separate panels from
each of 1 5 disciplines, which are eli-
gible to receive grants, including
music and dance, Safier said.
The recommendations made by
these panels are submitted to the
agencies hoard, who make the final
decisions.
L/M police
investigate
reported
assault in
Southvuest
By Amy H, Parodysz
Collegian Staff
Wednesday night, the University
of Massachusetts Police Dept.

dent had been assaulted in

The student said she left her resi-
dence hall around 10:15 p.m. and

a male was following her. As she
proceeded down the stairwell near
the Dining Commons, she was
assaulted and thrown to the
ground.
The victim "indicated her
assailant used some type of edged
instrument during the assault. She
received minor lacerations and abra-
sions," according to the UMass
police log.
The police have a description of
the assailant, a white male. 510".
180 lbs., with "briiwn scruffy hair."

Judge orders probation for Williams;
former Minuteman not formally guilty
NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) — Mike Williams, who
was ejected last season from the Massachusetts haskclball
team, was ordered yesterday to serve a year of probation
and pay back stt)len money in a bad-check case.
Williams, who earlier called the case "a misunderstand-
ing." admitted in Northampton District Court that the
facts were sufficient to convict him.
Without a fonnal guilty finding, he was ordered to serve
the ^^robation and pay back money to settle charges of
theft and forgery.
Authorities had accused Williams and Andre Burks,
then a first-year guard on the team, of giving a $4,000
check to another University of Massachusetts student,
who deposited it and gave them that amount in cash.
But the student was later told thai the April check was
drawn on a closed account in a Virginia bank, according
to authorities. The hearing Thursday brought only the lat-
est trouble to Williams, a 22-year-old clutch-shooting
guard. He was suspended from the team in February.
Team officials never gave a reason publicly. But
Williams acknowledged that he stayed out late during a
road trip to Southwestern Louisiana and missed a team
breakfast four days later. Burks was suspended from the
team in March after he was charged with slapping a girl-
friend in a dormitory. Also without a guilty finding,
Burks was later ordered to serve probation and undergo
counseling to settle both the assault and bad-check cases.
He later withdrew from the University of Massachusetts
and enrolled al McNeese State in Lake Charles, La.
Burks' family home is about 200 miles away in Baton
Rouge.
In recent months. Williams has been living at his fami-
ly's home in Hartford. Conn., and trying to catch the eye
of NBA scouts. Even without Williams, Massachusetts
went on to finish the season in the Elite Eight of the
NCAA tournament.
UMass installs new sprinkler systems
By Amy H. Parodysz
Collegian Staff
While students look a summer vacation, the
Environmental Health and Safety Department (EH&S)
was busy installing a new computerized fire system in
Greenough and Lewis Residence Halls and a sprinkler
system in Cashin Residential Hall, beyond their "routine
preventative maintenance." __^_^___^__
"These systems provide stale of the
art protection for residents as well as
reducing the number of nuisance
alarms," according to David |.
Beaudin. ofEH&S.
The new computerized systems
constantly check the wiring and the
smoke detectors. For example, the
computer sends a message if the
detectors are too diity or the wiring
is broken, according to Beaudin. __^^^^___^
All post stations, where a person
could trigger fire alarms without intervention by the com-
puter, are wheel-chair accessible, as dictated by the
American Disabilities Act.
"This type of activity
places all residence hall
residents at risk, as well
as contributing to
increased costs for stu-
dents. "
Also, all strobe lights are set at a certain degree of
brightness and rate, for the visually impaired.
The continued reduction of false fire alarms is a chief
concern for the fire safety staff this fall. Beaudin said.
There were 20 false fire alarms last year, despite a 61
percent decrease, according to figures maintained by
EH&S.
"This type of activity places all residence hall residents
_^___^_^,^ at risk, as well as contributing to
increased costs for students," accord-
ing to a recent press release.
In addition to the new alarms in
Greenough and Lewis, Cashin Hall in
the Sylvan Residential Area had a
sprinkler system installed this sum-
mer. It is designed to detect a fire,
sound the alarm and extinguish the
fire before it gets out of control.
Besides monitoring these new sys-
terns, fire prevention staff from
EH&S. assisted by staff from Physical
Plant and Housing Services, spent the summer testing fire

Local police to receive equipment
By Amy H. Paradysz
Collegian Stoff
State grants totalling almost $8,000 will allow the
Northampton Police Department to buy a breathalyzer
unit and the Pelham Police Department to purchase a
Laser/Lidar unit which will enable police to clock
speeds more accurately.
Pelham's new Laser/Lidar unit, which is being
ordered, will be able to pinpoint the speed of an object
with only three to four feet of error at a distance of a
thousand feet, according to Chief ELd Fleury.
"On our small roads we have a lot of traffic that may
be close together." said Fleury. The Lidar unit allows
police "to make sure who you are clocking is who you
are getting."
The "target selective" Lidar unit is capable of clocking
a specific car at a quarter of a mile in six lanes of traffic,
according to Bclchertown Police Officer )elf Sendek.
It can also compute an object's sp>eed by measuring
how long it takes for it to get from one point to anoth-
er, which is useful when investigating accidents,
according to Fleury.
The two laser units currently being used in Pelham
are capable of clocking speeds while in a moving vehi-
cle, something the new Laser/Lidar will not be able to
do, according to Fleury. However, the speed of an
object not at a right angle to the current laser units is
recorded as lower than it actually is, due to the
Doppler effect. All three units will 1-e used, he added.
The Pelham Police Department received a $3,925
Governor's Highway Safety Bureau grant for the
l^ser/Lidar unit, which will cost about $4,000.
The Northampton Police Department will receive
$4,000 to buy a $6,050 breathalyzer unit to replace
the seven-year- old unit they are currently using.
"That was our most critical need," said
Northampton Police Chief Russell Sienkiewicz.
The grants are "federal funds distributed through
the E,\ecutive Office of Public Safety to improve or
maintain safety on the highways.' said State Senator
Stan Rosenberg (D-Amherst.).
"I congratulate the Northampton and Pelham Police
Departments on their successful proposals,"
Rosenberg said in a recent press release. "But the real
winners are the motorists in these towns who will be
driving on safer streets."
The Belchertown Police Department also received
$1000 from the Governor's Highway Safety Bureau,
which will be used to purchase mobile video equip-
ment, according to Officer Jeff Sendek.
The video equipment "can go wherever the officers
go," said Sendek.
• It can document accident scenes, domestic violence,
searches, and drivers operating under the influence of
alcohol.
Hispanics urge ousting of judge
By Mkhelle Miltolslodt
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Members of the Congressional
Hispanic Caucus are seeking the ouster of a Texas judge
who ordered a woman born and raised in Mexico to
speak English to her 5-yearold
daughter.
In a letter yesterday to the execu-
tive director of the Texas State
Commission on judicial Conduct, the
eleven lawmakers expressed "out
rage" over the Aug. 16 ruling of State
District judge Samuel Kiser, and
asked the panel to start removal pro-
ceedings.
"Denying a mother's right to speak
to her daughter in whatever language
she chooses raises serious constitu-
tional questions," they wrote. "... It
appears that he has allowed his per-
sonal prejudices to influence his judg-
ment."
"Labeling the Spanish
language as abuse is an
affront to Hispanic-
Americans and all who
value their cultural her-
itage. These statements
also mock the serious-
ness of child abuse. "
In ordering Marts Laureano to speak some English to
her daughter, Kiser said during the custody hearing:
"You're abusing that child and you're relegating her to the
position of a housemaid."
The lawmakers wrote: "Labeling the Spanish language
as abuse is an affront to Hispanic-Americans and all who
.^^_^_i,__^ value their cultural heritage. These
statements also mock the seriousness
of child abuse."
Laureano speaks English but said
she uses Spanish at home so her
daughter will become bilingual.
Kiser didn't immediately return a
telephone call to his office in
Amarillo, Texas. Nor did a commis-
sion spokesman.
The controversy comes amid
heightened interest by a growing
number of members of Congres.s and
Republican presidential candidates,
including Senate Majority Leader Bob
Dole, to designate English the
nation's official language.
Councils on Aging receive county funds
Dole supporter chastises nominee
Qay QOP congressman shocked by candidate's homophobia
By John King
Associated Press
By Paul Hayes
Collegion Staff
Thanks in part to a slate grant,
some Hampshire County organiza-
tions will soon be able to further help
those in need of their services.
The Councils on Aging are
town-based groups which were cre-
ated to help their communities' elder-
ly citizens. The only requirement for
someone to become eligible for coun-
cil services is that they must be 60 or
over.
These groups normally are allotted
money by the towns or cities in which
they are located, but this money is
often found to be inadequate for their
financial needs.
In response to this, the state
Executive Office of Elder Affairs has
given local Councils on Aging a com-
bined $45.} 10 in grants.
"(Senator Rosenberg] supports
funding for the Councils on Aging,"
said Tom .Mitchell, an aide to stale
Senator Stan Rosenberg
(D-Amherst), "He feels they do great
work lor those who contributed a
great deal to our community."
This money was allotted to each
town's Council through a system
which gave between two to three dol-
lars per resident over 60, said jane
Booth, the director of the Hadley
Council on Aging,
"We receive $1 10.000 from the
town of South Hadley. plus $48,000
for transportation, and $58,000 for
meals from the government." said
Marilyn Isher. director of the South
Hadley Council on Aging, "but out of
that $1 10.000. only $6,000 goes
towards expenses, the rest is for
staff."

the state will go towards a newsletter,
and shopping assistance for the
homebound, neither of which is futid-
ed by the town. Isher said.
She also said that a growing need
for transportation services will be ful-
filled by the grant money.
"They |the Councils] make sure to
help keep elders independent for as
long as possible." said Joanne
Borkowski, a planner for West Mass
Elder Care, a company which works
closely with the Councils. "They
make sure (the elderly] get all the ser-
vices they need."
Services the Councils offer the
elderly include transportation, deliv-
ered meals and meals at a nutrition
center, classes, as well as assistance
with benefits and housing problems.
"They're a very vital organization in
each community," said Borkowski.
"They do a very positive, effective job."
WASHINGTON — A gay
Republican congressman who has
endorsed Senate Majority Leader Bob
Dole for president chastised Dole on
Wednesday for returning a contribu-
tion from a gay GOP group.
"Are you rejecting the support of
anyone who happens to be gay?"
Wisconsin Rep. Steve Gunderson
said in a letter to Dole. "If this is so.
do you intend to now reject my sup-
port and request those on your staff
who happen to be gay to resign?"
Dole's campaign recently said ii
was returning a $1,000 contribution
from the Log Cabin Club, an organi-
zation of gay Republicans. Dole
spokesman Nelson Warfield said the
campaign would not keep the money
because Dole did not share the orga-
nization's views.
Log Cabin officials, however, pro-
duced a letter showing that the Dole
campaign had solicited the contribu-
tion, and said the campaign decided
to return it only after media inquiries.
Dole aides then said campaign
finance chairman |ohn Moran should
not have sent the letter.
Gunderson supported Dole's 1988
presidential campaign and was among
the eariiest members of Congress to
endorse Dole's 1996 effort.
Gunderson said he was at a recent
dinner when friends mentioned the
Log Cabin episode."! assumed my
friends had mistaken yours for the
campaigns of other decidedly bigoted
candidates. I was embarrassed to
learn I was wrong," he said.
Gunderson closed his letter by ask-
ing rx>le to "please assure me that my
support of your campaign has not
been misplaced, and that the recent
incident is not reflective of what a
Dole presidency would look like*
Warfield confirmed that Dole had
received the letter but said the cam-
paign had no immediate comment.
Gunderson said Dole's campaign
had misrepresented the Log Cabin
Club's agenda as somehow extreme,
and said it does not seek any special
privileges for homosexuals. He said
the group shares the core GOP prin-
ciples of balancing the budget and
returning power to stale and local
governments.
Gunderson noted that Dole offered
words of support when it was first
reported last year that the congress-
man is gay.

T/ie flaunting freaky world
Evan
Young
Some people are real freaks. The other day I saw
some guy walking down the street with a
slicked-up one k>ot high mohawk. a point) stud-
ded black leather jacket, black leather pants and boots,
and some other accessories — the typical chains and flam-
ing skulls and other things that people tend to wear with
tight shiny leather.
All of this attire would have been okas
except for one thing; the t-shirl thai
showed through his jacket said "stop viar
ing at me a*'face " Needless to sa>. I stared
at him until he was out of sight because I
wondered if he would really get pissed To tell the truth. I
wanted him to get pissed because if someone flaunts that
kind of style and has the gall to wear a shirt that calK any
one who looks at him an a**face. he deserves to be
annoyed b> the rest of the noniial world.
So now my question is this: lust exactly what is going
through these peoples' minds when they decide to look a
cenain way — specifically, what goes through the minds
of people who look like they are just trying to get atien
tion?
A few days ago I saw a girl walking down the >treet
with brown valour pants, ^onie kind of flowery tight
long-sleeve shirt, a nose-ear chain. Budds Holly glas.-^e»
and long fluorescent green hair What was p<.<ssc>sing her
to look like that'' It was obviousK non- functional attire,
because it must have been about two thousand degree^
that day Did she want people to stare at her and think
"some poor woman went thruugh hour^ ol painful labor
to give birth to that?'
As it seeing that wasn't enough freakishnes> fv>r one
day. I also saw some guy dre-sed like the long- lo^t mem-
ber of the village people walking down the --trei't with a
ferret in his hand I saw some other guv wearing a tut
off-at-the -sleeves brown flannel shirt with a real licence
plate strung to the back of it.
I also saw somei>ne who k<oked like thev got ki^i on the
way to a Robert Smith look alike contest Sometimes. I
just cant help but winder why'' Who are ihev irvtng to
impress'' They can sav that they are non-confomiists. but
that wouldn't be true Wherever you go around here, nn
matter what you look like, there are hundreds of other
people around who look just like vou do.
You can't just dye your hair red anyntore and "•tand out
in a crowd, but rather you have to pick out a particular
shade of red because there arc 20 other people in Central
with red hair You can't ju»i get a plain ol' nosering,
(because everyone has them now) you have to gel a
nose-chain that wraps around your armpit'- three time»
and doubles as a jock strap ju^t to be original.
Ni>w. I can't say that I have vkipped the-^e "non- con-
formist" stages. I had blue halt once. I had big ugK lamb-

Letters to the Editor
Voting is not
enough
To The Editor
Mami E Helfner's column. "One
Step Foward Equality." was especial-
ly delightful to read because of its
refreshing message: Some victories
are worth pursuing whatever the
odds and however long it takes.
However. I feel i must make a cor-
rection This year marks the 75th
anniversarv of the Susan B .Anthony
amendment to the Constitution
which ensures women's right to vote.
The Seneca Fall- Convention was
held 147 years ago and marks only
the beginning of what turned into a
72-year campaign to pass the 1 9th
amendment in 1 '^20.
It will no doubt surprise many to
learn that women who lived In
Amherst during the suffrage cam-
paign were very un-vmpathetic to
the idea of women voting. To their
credit, once the 19ih .Amendment
was adopted, so many women
turned up to register to vote that
after keeping the office open until
10 p.m.. the .Amherst Town Clerk
had to schedule a special Saturday
voter registration session to accom-
modate all the women who wanted
to register
People don't have to stand in line
to register to vote anymore. Thanks
to the Motor Voter bill, it's possible
to mail in voter registration forms or
sign up at the Department of Motor
Vehicles. scKial service agencies, high
schools and college campuses. It took
live years to convince Congress to
pass the Motor Voter bill, and it is
still under constant attack. This
should be of concern to college-age
voters since the remarkable increase
in registered voters in the past few
months is most significant in the col
lege -age population.
The Motor Voter bill and the suc-
cessful campaign to win its passage
were the work of women and men
who are following in the foot-tep- of
the suffragists through their member-
ship in the L\\\ Founded bv Carrie
Chapman Catt and other leader- of
the National American Woni.in-
Suffrage .Association in 1920. the
LW\ is marking it- 75th anniversarv
by celebrating it- nianv successful
campaign- and -oniinuing the fight
to save the Moti>r \oter bill.
Although the -uftrage movement
didn't tare well in Amherst initiallv.
we've made up lor it -ince bv orga-
nizing one of the laige-t local chap-
ters of the LW\ 111 the L S Several
decades ago when the first man
joined the LWA . he became a mem
ber of the local Amherst league
We've kept the name to honor the
72-year struggle of the -uffragisi-.
but our work is carried on by all
tho-e who recognize that "there Is
more work -till to be done."
Since 1992. the ,\mher-t League
has worked with LMa-- student
organizations to regi-ier more than
8.500 -tudent voters. Many, nianv
other students have told us thev reg-
istered to vote in their hometowns
betore thev came to college.
Between now and the presidential
election in 1996. there will be -everal
opportunities to vote in primaries
and other annual and special elec-
tions either here in -Xmherst or in

lever in a voting txKith isn't enough

Thi- past summer the world lost two great people
twti great people who each had their demon-
These demons proved to be the fatal flaw of these
men. I'm -ure you are familiar with the men I am referring
to — the great Mickey Mantle and the legendary |errv
Garcia.
Their demons, however, are in no way deserving of a
head swelling intro. Please now allow me to introduce

You know, end grudges, give out second chances...
but Whitmore didn't even give us a chance.
Due to a prettv big error, not 10. not 100. but
over 240 -tudents were left without housing for the
first week of the year.
W hat i- really sad i- that nobody seems even
remotely surprised that it happened.
The swing space/Campus Hotel solution might
work OK as a temporary solution. To keep this
from ever happening again, students should be
allowed to live with the housing service employees.
You can be sure after spending two weeks with
drunken students, that housing would never make
the s.ime mistakes again.

If you're Icwklng for an opfKjrtunity to waste your

Give it up already.
It's never going to get legalized.
Even if pot does get legalized, these pec>ple will
have long since died of lung cancer.
It's not like its that hard to toke up anyway.
There are far better things to protest if you really
have that much energy.

to cause that. hmmm... could it be the drugs? It's a possi
bility. don't you think?
How about Mickey's liver? It didn't stop only because it
didn't have a chance to. They sent in the pinch hitter, a
new liver, but he -truck out with three ducks on the pond
Regardles- of the marvelous things that these men did.
and ihe many successes that they had. they btith failed in
one big subject — life After ali. the whole secret to life is
not dying.
These men were heroes to the masses. People looked up
to them, emulated them and even imitated them. Look no
further than the enormous mass of Deadheads who fol
lowed lerry and the Dead everywhere, puffing away as
they drove down the pike. If they stepped on the brakes a
little they may actually be able to catch a glimpse of their
lives going past them,
I'm sure lerry didn't attain his level of popularitv
because he could roll up a big fat joint and smoke it
quicker than he rolled it. He garnered his fame from hi-
music. as Mickey did from hi- ability to hit a ball clear out
of sight, not by being able to drink a quarter keg dry in
one sitting.
Nonetheless, the two had these problems, these addic-
tions, which are generally frowned upon in this country
So why is it that we seem to overlook these problem-
when it comes to people of lofty stature? If it was just
some junkie off the street that died, no one would blink
an eye. They would say it served him right for using drug-
I wonder if there comes a point where the bad things .1
man has done will overshadow the good that he has done
I think there is. and it's very unfortunate. It sends a pooi
message along the wire telling people with fame, fortune
and power that they can really screw up. and we. the
ever forgivirig U.S. citizens, will still love them.
But if you're just some joe schmoe. our ever-forgiving
attitude does a Houdini and disappears. People don't want
to hear the sob story unless you're famous. It's about time
that we start calling things like we see them and stop in
ing to cover up all the bad things. We've got to stop
pulling the wool over our own eyes, acting like the bad
isn't really mixed in with all the gcxxl.
If we see Mick we have to say. "Mick you're an alco
hohc. and you need help." not "Mick vou 're a drunk, but
who cares as long as you keep hitting homers."
Mickey and lerry were role mtxlels. they put themselve-
m a position to influence a lot of people, and they let us
down. The old "do as I say. not as I do" theory does not
always work well.
Mickey and lerry were both very great men. as far as
their careers go. Their contributions to this world will
truly be missed, but their post game/concert activitie-
were not great, and will not be missed.
It is my belief that there is only one demon worse than
the one Mickey and lerry had. and that is the devil him
self, one can only hope that they haven't met him.

Album Review ~
Dambuilders latest album goes mainstream
ByMottAttdeMe
Collegian StafF
THEOAMBUUXRS
Ruby Red
EastWest Records
Working within the confines of the pop world
can often be quite similar to walking on thin ice.
When done with enough ingenuity and zest pop
music can be one of the most rewarding genres
around. But, too often, bands fall back on lazy
cliches and all too familiar melixlics (i.e. Gigolo
Aunts. Better Than Ezra) and eventually sink into
the icy depths of "one-hit-wonder" status.
Boston's Dambuilders have been trotting across
the surface of the pop world since day one. and
while they have yet to take the plunge, the ice is
definitely cracking beneath their feet. On last
year's major label debut, Encendor. the group
managed to squeek by with a collection of .songs
that were rooted in traditional pop/rock struc-
tures, but were saved due to the bands somewhat
punkish delivery and the unorthodox violin play-
ing of loan Wasser.
On Ruby Red. The Dambuilders still prove that
they can turn a catchy hook, but unfortunately fall
prey to the pitfalls that reared their ugly head on
the group's earlier releases. There are just too
many darn concessions to popular radio here —
enough to dilute the four or five really excellent
songs that the album boasts, turning the whole
affair into a rather dismal listening experience.
For example, after a false start with the opener
"Smooth Control" (the band was obviously looking
for a "rocker" to open with, but this song is jusi
plain silly) the group hits their stride with "Special
Ed" and the slightly melodramatic "Tc*cnage Loser
Anthem." But don't get your hopes too high
because aficr that Ruby Red is nothing more than a
series of peaks and valleys.
For every track such as "Velocidad" and
"Cosmonaut" (probably the two finest songs the
band has laid down on tape) there is an overabun-
dance of mediocre ballads that arc so sterile and
unthrcatcning one can almost invagine them being
played right between the latest hit by Hootie and
The Blowfish and some lames Taylor classic.
"Drive By Kiss" and "Bending Machine" (which
sounds eerily like a beefed- up version of Heart)
The Dambuilders (Eric Masunaga,
Ruby Red, is only mediocre.
C<X>arfSY MKMAit Miutll
Dav/e Derby, Kevin March, )oan Wasser) latest release,
almost make you feel cmttarrassed for the group,
and "Rocket 'To The Moon" gets an "A" for experi-
mentation but still can't help from falling on its
face.
Although it's hard not to be disappointed with
Ruby Red (the group had showed so much
promise) the album is not a total bust. Take the
handful of excellent songs and you have what
would be one of the year's finest FPs — in other
words, tape this one from a friend. C
German expressionists
reflect today's problems
By Tore MK Conndly
Collegion SloH
The Mead Art Museum at
Amherst College is currently
exhibiting a collection of
German prints dated in the lale
19th and early 20th centuries.
"Spiritual Treasures: Modern
German Prints" features 50
graphic works depicting the
movement from I9ih century
academic traditions through the
1920s and up until German's
modern life including Naziism in
the 1950s.
The exhibit focuses on works by
Max Klingcr, Lovis Corinth.
Kaihe Kollwitz. and the German
expressionists Max Beckmann.
Erich Meckel and Max Pechstien,
According to Mil Meredith, the
curatoi of European Art at the
Mead Art Museum, many of the
artists used "personal circum-
stances' and "intense personal
emotions" 10 influence their
work,
"In the works you see a lot of
personal expressionism and feel
ings. It's about personal expres-
sionism especially during the 20th
century with World War I There
is also a historical aspect in the
artist's perception of events."
Meredith said.
According to Meredith, many of
the artists were banned from
exhibiting their works and forced
to flee to the United States and
other parts of Europe. The exhibit
also has significance because of
interest in WWII and the
Holocaust.
Printmaking goes as far back in
German history as the 15th cen
lury, with the invention and
refinement ol the art by printmak
crs like Albrcchi Durer and Alois
Senefelder. the former for wood-
cuts and the latter for lithogra-
phy.
Modern day work by German
artists have emotion and imagina
tive properties that symbolize
their connection to early processes
with a modem touch.
World War II greatly influenced
Germany socially, economically
and politically, but also emotional-
ly and spiritually. The modern
works represent this turmoil and
rapid expansionism that followc'd
ihe war.
"Most of the exhibit focuses on
Kathe Kollwitz. She is one of the
more renowned artists and a large
part of the exhibit involves her
works." said Meredith,
Meredith said that modernism
in and of itself is a huge topic, but
the works arc based on subject
matter in everyday life and in con-
temporary issues. These observa-
tions are then expressed with
'personal vision" with a "inner
spiritual" outlook.
"Works are usually compelling
but formally simple with emo-
tion. Basically it's simple forms
with emotional works," Meredith
said.
She added that she believes
viewers will be able to relate to
the work because similar turmoils
that the artists experienced are
now present in today's world. She
urged people to visit the exhibit
because the actually viewing of
the work speaks for itself. The

Showgirls elicits mixed responses
Pawl Verhocven's latest causes uproar amongst communities
By John Horn
Associated Press
SANTA MONICA. Calif. — Two
big theater chains won't show it. a
few newspapers won't advertise it
and the Christian right won't like it.
Showgirls almost has it made.
The explicit account of Las Vegas
strippers is the first studio film since
19Ws Henry & June to carry the
adults-only NC-17 rating. With its
constant nudity, rough language,
soft-core sex and occasional violence.
Showgirls was assumed to be an
impossible sale too hot to handle.
The conventional wisdom held ihai
you couldn't find films like this at (he
local mall multiplex: 'Vou had to min-
gle with the raincoat crowd at the
Pussycat to sneak a peek. Yet three
weeks before the movie's Sepi 22
premiere. MGM has secured nearly
1.000 theaters nationwide for the
film's debut weekend, far more than
showed Henry <S lune. The studio
also has not struggled to purchase
Showgirh advertising, buying a fl(X)d
of national TV and print spots.
Starting Sept 1 1, video stores will
give away 250.000 promotional video
cassette of a Showgirls trailer to pro-
mole the movie's theatrical release.
The video is rated NC17 Showgirls
may be the biggest test yet for the
NC- 1 7 tabtHi. but the talx>o so far is
losing badly.
'"The whole myth that you couldn't
release an NC- 1 7 film widely was just
that — a myth." says Gerry Rich.
VIGM's executive vice president of
worldwide marketing
Less than three years ago. MGM
(under different management) can-
celed a planned NC-17 release of
Madonna's Body of Evidence. The
"^ludio said theater owners and news-
papers would shun the film unless it
came out with the less-restrictive R
rating.
The adult-oriented films Damage.
Nulurul Born Killers. Sliver and
Basic Instinct, among several others,
similarly were re-edited to avoid the
NCI7 mark often with sufficient
publicity to drum up prurient inter-
est for the truncated. R-rated ver-
sion.
MGM feels that Showgirls is the
perfect film to test the NC-17 rating,
and did not appeal or re-edit the film
when the Motion Picture .Association
of America gave Showgirls an NC- 1 7
rating in luly.
The MPAA created the rating,
which burs patrons under age 17. to
replace the X mark five years ago.
The new rating was intended to dis-
tinguish high-minded fare for mature
viewers from low-rent sex films, but
the rating was promptly appropriated
by the makers of the skin flicks
Blonde EmmaruielU' in )■[) and The
Secret Sex Lives of Romeo and Juliet.
Legitimate film companies often said
ihey would release a NC-17 film, but
always backed off at the last minute
and released the movies either unrat-
I'd or cut them for an R.
MGM didn't. Under the new lead-
ership of studio chairman Frank
Mancuso. director Paul Verhoeven
(Basic Instinct) asked for and
received permission to make an NC-
17 film. Knowing well before the $40
million film was finished thai it
would be given the adults-only mark.
MGM started wiK)ing theater owners
in February, showing them clips and.
more recently, the finished film and
advertising materials
MGM vaid this week it had locked
at least 700 and as many as 1 .000
theaters for the film's opening week-
end. "It's not like we're going to be
skipping any markets." says Larry
Gleason. MGM's president of world-
wide theatrical distribution "We'll be
in every market in .America."
The ad campaign is so broad.
MGM says, it could be for any main-
stream R-rated film Still, the mes
sage is that this movie is for adults
and adull> only: theater owners are
being told by MGM to check driver'^
licenses and make sure ushers are not
16
Two large theater chain*^ with
Southern hubs — Texas' Cinemark
chain and Georgia's Carmike circuit
— will not show the film, saying
company policy prohibits NC-17
releases. General Cinema vkill not run
Showgirls in some markets. Gleason
said.
"In the South, weJ^e.an awfully
lot of ^mall towns — we just feel it's
not in good taste to play this pic-
ture." said Tony Reed, the film vice
president for Carmike, the nation's
second-largest chain behind United
Artists with 2. 104 screens.
The Daily Oklahoman in
Oklahoma City and the Fort Worth
Star Telegram in Fort Worth, Texas,
have both declined to run Showgirls
advertisements. MGM says.
"It's reflective of our readers —
very conservative, very religious,"
says Phil Record, the ombudsman for
the 350.000 Sunday circulation
Texas paper. "We're in the Bible
Belt."
Theater owners running the film
are mixed about the commercial
prospects of Showgirls. Some say it
could be a mild success, but others
say the story about a talented dancer
trying to make it is weak, that the
acting by Elizabeth Berkley. Gina
Gershon and Kyle MacLachlan is
poor.
Some theater owners also say the
NCI7 mark — not the movie itself
— is the film's best marketing hook.
Indeed. MGM's pledge to pay for
additional theater entrance ticket
inspectors is more than vaguely remi-
niscent of I950's Hollywood show-
man William Castle, who would have
doctors in theaters showing his
cheesy horror films.
"I think the material is incredibly
provocative and energetic." Rich
says "li stands on its own. The rating
is making it topical, but people won't
just see a film because it's NC-17
rated."
The .American Family Association,
the Rev. Donald Wildmon's
Christian right organization, already
has criticized ABC and NBC for run-
ning ads ft)r Showgirls. The organiza-
tion, which has not been shown the
movie, calls it a "hard-core porn
movie" and probably will condemn
Showgirls again When the film
debuts on home video, it may not be
carried by Blockbuster, the nation's
largest video chain with nearly 4.000
outlets. Store policy forbids NC-17
titles
MGM already says its bold NC-17
gamble hu» paid off "Based on the
experience that we've had this time,
we would not hesitate using the NC
17 rating again in the right place."
Gleason ■•aid
If Showgirls actually connects at
the box office, expect other
Hollywood studios to jump on the
NC- 1 7 wagon, lust think — we might
not be too far from an adults-only
Pocahontas.

Blues man to take Horse stage
Luther "Guitar" Junior will grace the
Mkhoel Burke
Collegian Stoff
New Orleans is the home of jazz.
Nashville has its country, and
Chicago is the land of electric blues
(and the Smashing Pumpkins).
Before their deaths. Muddy Waters
and Magic Sam were Chicago's lop
blues artists, but now the torch has
been passed on lo Luther "Guitar
lunior" lohnson. who recaptures ihc
West Side Chicago blues sound like
no one else around.
lohnson first gained iniemaiional
attention during the I970's when he
spent almost the whole decade serv-
ing as guitarist and vocalist for the
legendary Muddy Waters' band.
Playing concert halls across the
world, lohnson had the opportunity
to jam with some of Rock n' Roll's
most famed artists, including The
Allman Brothers. Eric Clapton, and
even The Rolling Stones.
After gaining much experience
lohnson left the Muddy Waters' band
to become a solo artist. In 1984,
Johnson won a Grammy for his live
cover of "Walkin' The Dog." and the
next year saw the release of his first
domestically released album. With the
help of his touring band. The Magic
Rockers, ihe album gained much
praise and was even named one of the
best contemporary blues album at the
W C Handy Blues Awards.
Over the past ten years, (ohnson
has endlessly toured America, as well
as Europe. His live shows are notori-
ous for mixing Chicago blues with
some Rock n" Roll, R&B, country,
and soul. And Johnson's soulful
singing rivals his guitar playing as his
strongest asset.
Iron Horse's stage this coming weekend.
As a solo artist, lohnson has shared
the stage with musical legends Ray
Vaughan. Bonnie Raitl, and jerry
Garcia, and his guitar playing has
influenced guitarists across the globe.
One highlight of Johnson's musical
career was in 1 989 when he was cho-
sen to be a 'musical ambassador* for
the United Slates Arts America pro-
gram. Through this, he loured ten
nations in Central America and the
Caribbean.

Caroline (Salma Hayek) and the Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) team up together in this action/comedy film.
Desperado flies high on big screen
By Laura Stock
Collegian Staff
DESPEKADO
Direded by Robert Rodriguez
wHh Anhsnio Bonderas, Steve Buscemi
Desperado has the gunslinging
gangster style of a Tarantino flick, the
action stunts of a Stallone-
Schwarzeneggar thriller and about as
much seriousness as Who Framed
Roger Rahhit. but the tale of the
singing Mariachi who sets out to
avenge the death of his lose is unique-
ly the creation of Robert Riidriguez
Antonio Banderas ihiteryiew
With A Vampire) stars as the
Mariachi in Rodriguez's sequel to
his highly acclaimed,
made-on-a-shoest ring-budget
Spanish film. El Mariachi.
We learn from Steve Buscemi
{Reseriuir Do/fi) in hilarious bar
scene with Cheech Marin that this
guitar case-filled -with guns-toting
Mariachi is in town and on a ruthless
killing-spree, ItKiking for a notorious
drug lord named Bucho. Apparently.
Mariachi witnessed the murder of his
one true love, and will not cease the
bar room bloodshed until he gets
revenge.
While .Antonio's probing stare"- and
furrowed brow display how intensely
he played the role, his firearm acro-
batics and overly inflated macho atti-
tude make his character difficult to
take seriously Not to mention the
guns that magically fly out of his
sleeves and pockets at the exact
moment he dodges bullets and shoots
someone from behind his back,
between his legs, and around a cor-
ner.
We don't hate this hero because he
prays in confession for the trail of car-
nage left behind him. and. afier all.
the men he kills are all drug dealing
scumbags; however. Mariachi is so
traumatized by his love's death, his
emotion,s are only revealed through a
short series of flashbacks, and later,
through a steamy romance with a
bookstore owner named Carolina
(Salma Hayek).
Quentin Tarantino has a cameo as
a pick up guy who offers a lew witti-
cisms and reminds us that he should
stay behind the camera
Symbolism is ever present, albeit
not deeply meaningful, in this movie,
as the guitar serves as a facade for
everything Mariachi loves and hates.
He used to love to play music, but
can barely bring himself to play now.
His guitar hides an arsenal of
weapons big enough to defend a
country. Other guitars, which belong
to his enemies, serve as drug smug-
gling vehicles.
Enjoying, and more importantly,
believing Desperado is easy, just
abandon all rational thoughts before
you see it. B
About three years ago this past
Sunday, I rolled into the University
of Massachusetts on Route 91 with
my parents in tow. turned right
onto Route 9, drove over the bridge
and then... nothing. I sat in traffic
for about an hour.
When I finally got onto the
grounds of the
University the first
thing I saw were
the Southwest
Towers. A very
intimidating sight
for a 17-year-old
— young for his
class, short, quiet,
from an ultra-con-
servative 99.9 per-
cent white and
stagnant North
.Aitleboro. Massachusetts.
After checking in. getting my key
and moving all my stuff up to the
fourth floor of Lewis. 1 found that
the next thing 1 would have to do
was... wait in line at Whitless — er.
WTiitmore. and get my phone card
which for some reason wasn't sent
to me.
Setting the red tape aside, walk-
ing around campus the first few
days, going to the Campus Store,
the Textbook .Annex and the bar-
racks at the Worcester DC. (don't
let them pull that "Hillside Room"
junk). I was just simply flabbergast-
ed at the sheer number of people. 1
said to myself. "I'm never going to
see the same people every day.
Making close friends will be next to
impossible." The campus seemed
huge — an ugly mass of people
vrtth no names or identities, just a
bunch of blank looking faces.
With each passing year, however.
the campus began to creep in
towards me. I realized that I could
make it from Mahar to Dickinson
in less than 15 minutes, and the
faces in the D.C. started to look
more and more familiar. The
Southwest Towers looked far away,
but somehow, knowing that there
were people over
there made them
appear a tad bit
more welcoming.
I learned to love
the protests on the
Student Union
steps, as well as the
lines at Antonio's
on a Thursday
night, the cheap
movies ($3.50 vs.
$7.00 — no con-
test), the road trips that uncovered
places and views 1 didn't even
know existed until I started to
explore. I also learned that you
can't make friends with all the stu-
dents here, and that to let that
intimidate you is foolish.
So much in life is hectic that eat-
ing lunch with just a Collegian
became a welcome addition to my
day. Before. I knew it I could pick
out actual people / knew in the
Campus Center. And believe it or
not. 1 began to run into people 1
knew every time I left the dorm,
and it grew on me.
There is something about the
Pioneer Valley that draws people in
and then refuses to let them go. Is it
any wonder that so many students
end up hanging around after gradu-
ation? You could say it's the atmos-
phere, or the scenery, or even the
wide range of activities that go on
here But in all likelihood it has to
lie with the people. This area has
such a wide range of different peo-
ple, each with their own unique
perspective on life, that it is hard
not to feel like no matter what your
ideals, there is a group that will no
doubt welcome you with open
arms.
Those arms opened again about a
week ago as I rolled into UMass for
my last year. There was no hoopla,
no traffic. I came here via the
countless shortcuts and back roads
that I have learned over the years.
Not taking the main route to
UMass took some of the mystique
out of the entire ordeal and. in a
way, I don't feel like I was leaving
home anymore when 1 get here, but
that I'm getting home after a sum-
mer away.
My brother came with me on
the drive this year, the day before
he was due to move in to the
dorms with the rest of the fresh-
man. We stopped to get a drink on
the way. and somewhere on Route
9 in Belchertown he hurled his
plastic cup out the window of the
car into the woods. And much to
his. and my amazement, for that
matter. I proceeded to unleash a
verbal assault on him with the
intent of explaining to him that in
the Eastern part of the state that
may be a common practice, but
out here it's not something you
do.
He asked me why there was such
a difference, and even though I
could have spouted a bunch of the-
ories about nature and that out
here there is a lot more respect for
your surroundings, all I could seem
to muster up was, "Give it a year,
you'll understand."

Packwood resigns amidst numerous accusations
By Larry AAargosak
Associaled Press
WASHINGTON — More than 10.000 pages of newly
released documents in the Bob Packwood case rvveal a
senator worrying about running afoul of campaign
finance laws, contemplating dirty tricks against an oppo
nent and compulsively seeking sexual favors from subor-
diiutes and support staff.
Packwood's diaries do not acknowledge the incidents
of sexual misconduct cited by the Ethics Committee. As
Packwood himself said, he included "nothing about
being a rejected suitor — only my successful exploits."
One diary reference talks of "the 22 staff members Id
made love to and probably 75 others I've had passion-
ate relationships with... "
The diaries are part of documents released by the
committee in support of its recommendation that
Packwood be expelled The recommendation became
obsolete when Packwood announced his resignation
yesterday.
Packwood has denied some allegations of sexual mis-
conduct, admitted that others probably occurred and
contended he could not recall still others.
Some of the key examples of Packwood's behavior, as
reflected by the newly released documents:
• Sexual misbehavior. In a deposition, former
Packwood staffer Paige Wagers described an incident
when the senator called her to his office and suddenly
pinned her against the wall. She said he was "groping"
at her body, trying to fondle her breasts and pressed his
body against hers "so closely that I could not move."
Packwood kissed her.
"It seems like your whole life passes in front of your
eyes... It seemed like an eternity." she said.
Another example was Kerry Whitney, a part-time ele-
vator operator at the Capitol, from whoin Packwood
demanded a kiss nearly every time he was on the eleva-
tor alone with her. She let him come to her house when
he asked to. thinking she could get him to stop grabbing
her But he began kissing her and said he wanted to
make love to her. She pushc-d him away and declined
his invitations. He continued to kiss her in the elevator
until she was switched to an elevator he did not use.
• Campaign Finance. The report contained a passage
deleted from the diaries, in which Packwood indicated
that another senator — with Packwood's knowledge —
agreed to direct $100,000 from a GOP party commit-
tee "to be used to benefit Sen. Packwood's cam-
paign...* This entry raises questions about the possible
violation of campaign finance laws.* the committee
report said.
• Political intrigue. Packwood wrote in his diaries he
tried to use one of his staffers to feed misleading infor-
mation to her husband — a staffer for Democratic Rep.
Peter DeFazio of Oregon. DeFazio was considering run-
ning against Packwood. The senator wrote he wanted
his staffer to be "a mole and a spy into the DeFazio
organization..."
The documents also provide startling detail about
dealings between Packwood and five lobbyists and
political backers the Ethics Committee says he asked to
hire his former wife in order to cut his alimony pay-
ments.
At one point, Packwood wrute in his diary of a 1990
dinner conversation with Ronald Crawford, a major
fund-raiser for the senator, at which the lobbyist offered
to put up $7,500 a year to help support Packwood's
wife. Georgie, after their marriage broke up.
"If you're chairman of the Finance Committee. I can
probably double that." he quoted Crawford as saying.
Packwood. who at the time was a senior minority mem-
ber of the tax-writing panel, later told the Ethics
Committee the remark was meant as a joke.
Also mentioned in the documents:
• A staff assistant whom Packwood grabbed, pressed
close and kissed on the mouth during a chat in her
office pushed him away and said she was happily mar-
ried. She quit her job shortly after that because "it made
her uncomfortable" to be around him.
• Gail Byler. hostess at a Portland restaurant, was
getting a glass of water from a hallway off the closed
dining room when "all of a sudden, she felt a hand go
from her ankle, up the inside of her leg, to her crotch."
She turned quickly, •mw Packwood and told him to get
away from her. "Do you know who I am?* he denvand-
cd She said she knew and didn't care. He said Byler
had not heard the end of it. "I felt that he was threaten-
ing my job." she said.
• Former aide lulie Williamson said Packwood kissed
her then followed her into a back office and she warned
him never to do it again As she tried to kick hitn in the
shins, "he stood on my feet, grabbed my ponytail and
pulled my head back with it so that he could kiss me. At
the same lime his right hand... was trying to reach up
under my skirt to pull off my panty girdle.' she said.
"I ran into the front office and he stalked out past me.
stopped at the thrvshold to the hallway and said. If not
today, then someday." Several days later, as Williamson
sat at a bar between her husband and Packwood's wife,
Packwood whispered to her. "Don't tell your husband
and don't quit your job."
Active volcano doesn't phase tovun
California villagers live above potential natural disaster
By Stev* Gmtsingw
Auociotod Pms
MAMMOTH LAKES, Calif. -
The earth beneath this resort town
seems cursed.
The ground shakes, rises and spits
steam. It belches gases that kill trees.
It boils creeks.
That's because there is a volcano
below Mammoth Lakes. The U.S.
Geological Survey calls it among the
most likely in the lower 48 states to
erupt in coming decades, though no
eruption is imminent or even certain.
Most residents aren't worried.
"It's just too beautiful here to
worry about the volcano.* said
Danielle Lane. 23, who recently
moved to the resort town of 5,000.
"I'm not moving.* said Bradley
Foster. 33. a natural gas company
employee.
"This Sierra Nevada v\|la{^-sitf ft
the edge of what Is "cafttd tong
Valley. The valley is really a 9-mile-
wide, 1 9-milc-long collapsed volcanic
crater. Scientists call it a caldcra. the
Spanish word for caldron.
Long Valley. 250 miles north of Los
Angeles, is the most restless volcano
among more than a dozen in
Washington. Oregon and California,
said USGS volcano expert C. Dan
Miller. The last to erupt was Mount
St. Helens, near Vancouver, Wash., in
1980. That eruption killed 60 people.
Earth movement and other signs of
unrest around Mammoth Lakes arc
caused by molten rock that rumbles
around some four miles under-
ground, said David Hill, who moni-
tors Ixing Valley for the USGS.
Underground vents cause some
creeks to boil, spew steam and reck of
sulphur. Carbon dioxide seeping
through the ground has killed thou-
satvls of pine trees and forced closua'
of one campground to overnight
camping because of the high concen-
trations of the gas. About 7bO,000
years ago, the volcano blew mountains
of debris hallway across the continent
in one of the planet's most powerful
eruptions. It spewed 1 50 cubic miles
of material. tiOO limes more than the
cTuplion ot Mount St. Helens.
The Long Valley eruption formed a
spectacular resort site, ringed by
mountains resembling those 20 miles
west in Yosemite National Park.
Mammoth l.akes draws up to 30.000
tourists a day "The volcano is part of
the attraction.* said Alexandra
Campbell. 18. a recent visitor.
Cumnuinity leaders don't see the
vc!ttiinio'as*a''rtt1tlrmce to growth in
Mammoth l^kes. ^rhich started as a
mining camp in the mid-1800's. "It's
nut a requirement or a fcx'ling on our
part that it should affect land use
planning." Mammoth Lakes city
manager Glenn Thompson said.
City codes require strong build-
ings, but that's to handle the region's
heavy snowfall, not volcanic fallout,
Thompson said. Not everyone is
quite so nonchalant.
Amy Corsinito. 19, said her par-
ents like to visit but are hesitant
about buying a house. "You can't get
volcano insurance,* she said.
The movement of lava in two
underground chambers during the
past 1 5 years has raised the center of
Long Valley by more than two feet. It
also has caused tens of thousands of
minor earthquakes. In May 1980,
four earthquakes of about t> magni-
tude caused minor damage.
People here are gambling the earth
won't suddenly explode. E.xperts say
it's a good bet. Odds arv overwhelm-
ing that a major eruption would pro-
vide days or weeks of warning.
"Other places in California shake,
rattle and roll, or flood, or burn."
said longtime resident jack Clausen.
Discussing the strength of a n.'cenl
quake. Clausen said, "That's nothing.
I'll show you a 3.0 quake ' The
forestry worker kicked the bumper of
his truck. "Thai's a 3.0."
The volcano's restlessness caused
the USGS to issue a "notice of poten-
tial volcanic hazard" in 1982. The
warning, coupled with quakes, dam-
aged tourism and the real estate mar-
ket and angered local busmcss peo-
ple.
"We've never stepped back from
saying there have been eruptions in
the past and there will be again in the
future." Miller said But the USGS
dropped its official warning in 1984.
The rugged beauty of volcanos
throughout the West attracts people.
Towns sit near at least four vol-
canos.
Local government officials said
volcanic hazards are usually dis-
counted when policy boards consider
development. Many of the towns
were well established long before
serious consideration of the dangers,
officials said.
House votes to
build more B-2
By John Diomond
Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The House voted narrowly
Thursday to protect a Republican plan to build
more B-2 stealth bombers as it pushed through a
$244 billion defense appropriations bill.
Also included in the measure was an amendment
to ban abortions at military hospitals
Final passage of the defense bill came on a 294-
125 vole after a day of debate that ranged from
social policy in the military health care system to
investing billions in radar-evading warplanes. In a
213-210 vote, supporters of the B-2, the world's
most expensive warplanc blocked an effort to cut
$493 million for it from the defense appropriations
bill even though the Pentagon said it doesn't need
more of the radar-evading bombers.
The money would eriable the Air Force to begin
buying more B-2s tha • the 20 already in service or
on order Because the Senate defense appropriations
bill contains no money for more B 2s. the is(>uc will
have to be worked out in negotiations (or a final
version of the legislation.
Under the House bill, the Pentagon would get
$7.8 billion more for the fiscal year beginning Oct.
1 than President Clinton requested, and $2.5 billion
more than the government is spending on defense
this year.
The measure reflects the Republican view that the
administration has cut too deeply from national
defense at a lime when world instability appears to
be cm the rise.
"As the world's only superpower, it is vital that
America remains the world's finest fighting force,"
said Rep. Bill Young (R-Fla.) chairman of the
House Appropriations national security subcommit-
tee.
Candidates
spread message
over internet
By DonoGilvo
AsKxiotod Pms
WASHINGTON — Thanks to a booming new neigh-
borhood on the Internet, Americans can bypass bug-
infested campaign picnics or rhetoric-filled rallies and
dive into presidential politics from home.
Voters who want more than TV sound biles are taking
part in on-line chat sessions with the 1996 presidential
candidates. They're reading speeches delivered hundreds
of miles away and calling up campaign schedules to see
who's coming to town. Since 1992. the Internet has
moved beyond circles of computer-literati into the home
computers of millions of voters. The candidates' com-
puter siles seem to reflect their personalities.
Unassuming Sen. Dick Lugar, (R-Ind), asks visitors,
"Who is Dick Lugar?* while hard-driving Sen. Phil
Gramm (R-TexasI wants browsers to know they're part
of something bigger. Before signing off his site, a recent
visitor is informed she is *the 147,889th visitor to this
page*
In his *lssues* section, Pat Buchanan's views on bor
der politics spill forth in a lengthy iniroduciury essay:
"Illegal immigration must be halted and no illegal alien
given welfare. The presidency must become a bully pul-
pit for traditional values. Not gays in the military.*
Viewers can return to the campaigns' on line sites as
they are updated with daily quotes from political pundits,
augmented trip schedules and candidate responses to
incoming mail.
"You don't even have to wail for sound biles any-
more. You have Inlerbiles,* said Paul Unger, a specialist
in telecommunications and vice president of Chicago-
based AT Kearney Executive Search. Unger said the
Internet also may protect candidates from *foot in
moulh' disease. *You at least may avoid some of the
mistakes that are made in the heal of the moment.* he
said.
Let the browser beware, though. Mischievous Net users
already have launchc-d fake home pages that can put a can-
didate's foot securely in his moulh.
Experts estimate that one quarter of all US homes will
be on line in the next five years Already, tfiere are more
than 25 million Americans hooked up.
Most presidential hopefuls have set up their own 'home
pegc* — the first scrtx-n image viewed by a browser who
stops at their site. The candidates also arc holding on line
chat sessions and town hall meetings — the Inlomel's ver
sion of the telcxonference.
For candidates such as Rep. Robert Doman, (R-Calif.)
who haven't set up their own home page, hrowscr> can
check up on them through unofficial sites, such as the
GOP Presidential Candidates account launched by Project
Vote Smart, a non-profit service that compiles voting
records of politicians.
The political parties are making themselves known on
the internet as well.
Every Friday, for example, the Democratic National
Committee releases "The NewlGram* on line and on fa«t»
to give voters a DetiKxratic spin on the activnien of Hffvae
Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.).
Martha Baer, features editor for "Wired* magazine, said
the Internet allows voters to participate in campaigning
witliout leaving home or office.
"You're bringing individuals together to speak to one
another.* she said. *They may be from far ends of the
spectrum, but that's the wonder of the Net - it's one to
one.* Baer said. Part of the allure of the Net to politicians
is its price and reach. For about $20 a month, a candidate
can open artd maintain an account tfiat reaches mcreasing
numbers of readers. For a few thousand dollars more, can-
didates can spruce up their home pages with snazzy graph-
ic designs.
But there Is still a significant population — both statisti-
cally and strategically — that is not even grazed by the
computerized political handsluke.

Jewish school target of bombing
VILLEURBANE. France. (AP) — A tar bomb
exploded in from of a lewish school yesterday
and injured 14 people, but a faulty school bell
had kept the 700 children inside and none were
killed. The explosion in this Lyon suburb was the
sixth in a series of bombings or attempted bomb-
ings in France since late |uly and the first car
bomb in France since 1982.
Children screamed, parents wept and dense
black smoke swirled in front of the school. But
the three breathless words on everyone's lips
were ones of relief: "It's a miracle."
The bomb was timed to go off at the moment
the children leave school in the afternoon, but a
tardy bell delayed their exit by two minutes.
Police said this saved dozens of lives.
Interior Minister jean Louis Debre said the
bombing appeared to be linked to the other
recent attacks. Nuts, bolts and fragments of a gas
canister — the same components used to make
the recent bombs — were found at the scene of
yesterday's bombing, authorities said. Algerian
Muslim militants who have threatened France for
its support of the military-backed government in
its former colony are prime suspects in the
attacks, authorities say.
Police said they detained a man seen running
away with rwo others just before the attack. No
one immediately claimed responsibilit> for the
bombing in Villeurbane. about 270 miles south-
east of Paris.
Among the 14 injured were three adults and
three children who inhaled smoke Six people
were hospitalized, and three other children suf-
fered shock.
The 4:55 p.m. explosion destroyed the car. set
fire to another car parked nearby and Ignited a
blaze in an adjacent apartmeni. officials said.
"We can thank God that this attack did not
cause total carnage, because it happened at
exactly the moment school gets out," Lyon's
deputy head rabbi, Isaac Elhadad. <-aid at the
scene.
The blast came three days after a bomb was
found in Paris and defused. Three Inimbings in
Paris since |uly have left seven people dead and
more than 100 injured and have prompted heavy
security measures throughout the counii-y.
Police have mounted a nationwide effort to
tighten security and search for suspects since the
first bombing in a Paris subway train on luly 25.
which killed seven people and injured 84
After police boosted putrol^ iind Nearches and
covered up trash tans in subway stations, anoth-
er bomb exploded on a street near the .Arc de
Triomphe on Aug. 17. wounding 17 people,
including 1 1 tourists.
On Aug. 26, authorities found a Kmib planted
on a high-speed train track north of Lyon. The
bomb, which like the other two was made from a
gas canister filled with an explosive and bolts,
failed to detonate.
Lyon's head rabbi. Richard Wertenschlag. crit-
icized French authorities for not heeding his
request for greater protection in the period lead-
ing up to Rosh Hashana and Yoni Kippur.
France's Jewish community remains haunted
by the memories of terrorivt attacks on Jewish
targets in Paris in the 1980s. Shortly after the
explosion yesterday, the rector of the Paris
Mosque and head of France's Muslim communi-
ty. Dalil Boubakeur. sent a message of sympathy
to Wertenschlag. saying Muslims were "shattered
by the ignoble attack."
Prime Minister .Main luppe called an emer-
gency meeting of anii-lerrorist investigators and
other officials late last night. He said authorities
will step up monitoring "of establishments of any
nature open to the public."
luppe said the latest attack "can only reinforce
the government's determination to identify and
try those who resort to acts as unacceptable as
they are violent."
Paris police headquarters announced that
"maximum security measures" would be insti-
tuted by this morning at all schools in the capi-
tal
The police said cars would be banned from
parking in front of schixiK and barriers would be
erected. Security was alieadv lightened earlier
thi> week at schooN reopening after summer hol-
idays, mainly by forbidding enirv to parents and
other adults.
Iraq's antiquities up
for grabs as effects of
embargo continue
By Greg Myre
Associated Press
Babylon
stands silent
as tourists
stay away
fty Greg Myr«
Assoc loted Press
BABYLON, Iraq — From the pre-
cious shade of a date palm tree, tour
guide Abdul Hussein looked out on
the silent and deserted ruins of
Babylon and shook his head.
"There used to be thousands of
tourists from all over the world." said
Hussein, who declined to give his last
name
"Now no one comes." the 18-year
tour guide added
President Saddam Hussem spent
millions of dollars in the 1980s to
restore part of this biblical city to
its long lost glory. But United
Nations sanctions prevent foreign
tourists from visiting, and the
country's economic crisis makes it
a luxury that most Iraqis cannot
afford.
To Iraqis, the city represents
Mesopotamia's monumental past.
Saddam fancies himself a modem-
day Nebuchadnezzar, who ruled his
empire from Babylon from 604 to
562 B C
Hammurabi wrote the world's first
legal code here almost 4.000 years
ago. the city's Hanging Gardens
were one of the wonders of the
ancient world, and Alexander the
Great conquered it as he stormed
across Asia
Saddam's government largely
rebuilt a 600-room palace based on
Nebuchadnezzar's, but most work in
the dusty plains near the Euphrates
River stopped following the Gulf
War.
The only building going up at pre-
sent is a luxurious, modern palace
on Saddam Hill, an artificial mound
overlooking the ruins A guide from
the government's Information
Ministry warned Associated Press
journalists not to take pictures of
the palace, where bulldozers were
busy in temperatures that topped
100 degrees. The expensive new
palace is a sensitive subject at a time
when most Iraqis are struggling to
get by on incomes ravaged by infla-
tion.
The government is rushing to com-
plete the building before a cultural
festival being held Sept, 22-Oct. 6 in
Babylon, about an hour's drive south
of Baghdad.
The annual celebration features
dancing, singing and plays and is one
of the few events that can draw a
crowd through the arched Ishtar
gale, covered with paintings of myth-
ic animals.
"The Iraqi people are facing hard
times." said Hussein. "We hope the
tourists will come back soon."

Graves near Suez Canal shed
new clues on union of Egypt
By MoiHMia Bodawy
AsiocHitad Press
ISMAILIYA. Egypt — A 5.500
year-old cemetery on an arid patch
once watered by the Nile River is
giving up clues about the union of
Upper and Lower Egypt, the event
that ushered in the Pharaohs.
Archaeologists are uncovering
skeletons, shards of clav and
alabaster pottery and other arti-
facts at the 90-acre cemetery nearly
10 miles west of the Suez Canal
near the Sinai Peninsula, the his-
toric bridge from Africa to Asia.
"We don't know when Egyptian
culture began, and this is the key to
find out." said Fekri Hassan, an
archaeologist at University College
in London and head oE the
Egyptian-British group studying the
site.
So far. archaeologists have
uncovered 8 1 3 graves spread over
240 square yards and more are
sure to be excavated, making it one
of the largest prehistoric burial
grounds in Egypt
What is striking, they say, is that
some of the graves appear to date
to the reign of Narmer. He is con-
sidered the first ruler who united
the Nile Valley of Upper Egypt
with ihc icrtile delta ol Lower
F^gypt. regions which hud devel-
oped as separate kingdoms. The
prtvcess of unifying the north and
south is thought to have taken ten
luries. Much of it still concealed in
legends and half-truths from later
records.
"It is the beginning of the cul-
ture." s;iid \bdcl Hiilim
Nourcddin. the Eg),ilian antiqui-
ties chief, who believes the site may
become more important than the
Giza Pyramids.
Origins of Egyptian mvihology
might date to those times as well,
and some artifacts suggest the
beginning of social differentiation,
stale religitm and the uniformity in
religious beliefs that came to char-
acterize Pharaonic Egypt
In one of the biggest graves,
archaeologists found skeletons of a
bull, a cow and a child The cow's
skeleton is arranged so that it
appears to be suckling the child.
Some have suggested the configu
ration to be a precursor of the cult
of Halhor. an Egyptian goddess
often represented as a cow or cow-
headed woman.
Tlie placement of ihe skeletons
may also be one of the earliest indi-
cations of the belief in resurrection
and life after death, a powerful
doctrine diffused throughout
ancient Egypt.
In another grave, what was
believed to be a guvernmenl official
was buried with clay and alabaster
pots, one of them inscribed with the
name of King Naniicr dating to
>tXX) B C or eariier.
"This pi-rind is imporlani in
revealing ihe first steps in the lot ■
mation of the centralized state
which was the foundation of
ancient Egypt." Hass;m said in an
interview at the site 'rhis is an
important link between the prehis-
tory and the written history." just
yards away was a grave of copper
merchants, believed lo dale to
^500 B.C . suggesting vibrant trade
ties between Palestine, Egypt and
Mesop4>iainia across ihe Sinai
The ancient cemetery was found
by accident. In 1988. a construction
company wanted lo build a condt)-
miniuin on the site Some pits were
dug, and the graves were found.
In the past, archaeologists had
not bothered li> inspect the area
because it was once the site of a
branch of the Nile and it was
thought that water, sill and erosion
would have wiped out its antiqui-
ties.
B.AGHDAD. Iraq — When word
reached Baghdad that another
archaeological site was being looted,
the Antiquities Departiiicnl rushed
an armed team to hall the illegal dig
in the southern ciiy ot ,\maia.
It took a fierte gunbattle to drive
away dozens of nt>mads who had
gouged huge craters and carted off
hundreds of cuneiform tablets more
than 4.1)00 years old.
Muayad l')amerji. head of the gov-
ernment's Antiquities and Heritage
Department, lamented thai the
thieves probably damaged many
tablets b> hacking out holes with
shovels and other lools.
"These people were peasants who
had no idea what they were doing."
he said. 'They might as well have
been digging lor rocks."
Iraq's economic crisis has left the
Antiquities Department desperately
shi)rt of cash Thai has meant a near
shutdown of the museum sysii-ni and
the extensive archaeological work that
was being cairied out in ancient
Mesopotamia, the "cradle of civiliza-
tion." Iraq lists 4.000 pieces that weie
stolen fi\>m its museums In the after-
math ol the 1991 Gulf War. including
jt"welry, pottery, coins, cylinder seals
ami terra sotla figures The number of
items taken from archaeological sites
is probably in the thousands as well,
according to officials
Only one item has been recovered
- a cuneilonn tablet confiscated from
a London art dealer and relumed by
Bnlish authorities in 1992.
Damerji receives tegular iept>rts of
tiandestinc digs in a counirv that has
10.000 archaeological sites and only
a handful of poorly paid guards to
ptoiecl iheiti.
"Tlic hisioiy of lr;iq i- ilie hisioiy of
the aivieni workl." said Damerji. "And
this treasuiv is being badly damaged."
In southern Iraq, it is mostly peas-
ants who either stumble uptm sites or
are oflered money by foreign smug-
glers to dig up known sites. Damerji
said
In northenHraq. there are tales of
highly organized jjif;s by people with
huropean Icaturcs around the towns
of Irbil and Sulaimaniva. areas now
controlled by ethnic Kurds.
The relics are smuggled out to
loidan or Iran and eventually make
their way lo Europe, most often to
London, said Damerji. who has run
the Antiquities Department for 18
years.
Economic sanctions imposed by
the United Nations afier Iraq invaded
Kuwait "make it difficult lo buy our
daily bread, and this has c-ncouraged
people lo steal our national trea-
sures." Damerji said.
The illegal dig in Amara. which
took place in February, is one of the
few cases to end with authorities
retaining some of the treasures.
After the intruders were driven off.
officials counted 240 freshly dug
holes, some 1 2 feel deep and 1 5 feet
wide. Many tablets undoubtedly were
taken away, but authorities recovered
470 others — enough to fill one of
the larger rooms at the Iraq Museum
in Baghdad.
During a reporter's recent visit,
four women at the mu.seum were por-
ing over the dun-colored tablets,
some the size of a book, others as
small as the palm of the hand The
women painstakingly brushed away
dirt from the tiny, precise grooves
that were carved into the soft mud.
They then recorded the symbols by
hand on notebook paper.
These tablets are not riveting read-
ing. Recording agricultural produc-
tion figures, they are essentially a
4,000-year-old Farmer's Almanac.
Aside from occasional exhibits, the
museum has been closed to visitors
since the Gulf War Its magnificent
collection, with relics from the earli-
•■st human settlements more than
6.000 years ago. are locked away in
storerooms.
Before the war. at least a dozen
teams of Western archaeologists visit-
ed Iraq each year. That all stopped
due to the comprehensive embargo
placed on Iraq by the United Nations.
Damerji's budget has been wiped
out by runaway inflation. He had 75
vehicles to patrol archaeological sites
before the war. Today only six are in
service due to a lack of money and
spare parts, he said.
.American pressure has prevented
international contacts with Iraq by
such groups as the UN. Educational.
Scientific and Cultural Organization,
based in Paris, he said.
"Its UNESCO's job to send
inspectors and help us track down
these missing items. They have done
nothing." Damerji said.
But Iraq's own record in handling
cultural treasures has been badly tar-
nished in rectTit years.
After Iraq's 1990 invasion of
Kuwait. Iraqi officials went to
Kuwait's national museum and
packed up the spectacular Islamic art
collection, which was then sent lo
Baghdad.
Some priceless items, such as intri-
cately carved wooden dcwrs from a
1 0th century mosque, were too bulky
to be removed. So Iraqi soldiers
torched the entire museum shortly
before they were driven out of
Kuwait. The huge doors and several
other unique pieces were reduced to
ashes.

V-ball heads to California
By Steven Gront
Collegian Staff
Ihe Massachusetts volleyball
team is hoping to continue its
unbeaten streak as it begins play in
the Santa Barbara Tournament
today at 2 p.m.
The iA) Minutewomen will play
the University of Toledo first at 2
p.m.. followed by California Santa
Barbara, ranked No lb in the
nation, at 7 p.ni .
Massachusflis coach Bonnie
Kenny has intentionally strength-
ened her niin league schedule by
selling up inalchcs against strong
teams to ready her squad for a
tough Atlantic 10 lineup. UCSB.
along with Syracuse. Michigan.
Brown and UConn. are all
respectable opponents the
Minutewomen will face before
opening up its A- 10 season at St,
Bonaventure on Sept. 22.
"The level of competition we have
scheduled at our preseason tourna-
ments is high," said Kenny before
the start of the season "Hopefully,
they'll do a good job of preparing us
for the Atlantic 10 schedule."
On paper. UMass appears to be
a better team than the Toledo
Rockets (2-5). Thus far, the
Rockets have defeated Georgia St.
(5-1) and Evansville (3-0) while
losing to Indiana St. (3-1),
Tennessee-Martin (5-2) and
Michigan (5- 0). UMass, coming
off a strong campaign last year,
netted victories over Rider,
Lafayette and Hofstra at the
Hofstra/Spalding Invitational
Toumameni last weekend.
The Rockets, coached by Reed
Sunahara. are led by lean Ann
Harrison, who was named to the
All-Tournament team at the
Evansville Invitational.
Right now. UCSB i2 I), who
has three top 20 ranked teams in
its conference, the Big West, looks
like UMass' most difficull match of
the year. Its only loss has come lo
No 14 nationally ranked Arizona.
The Gauchos are led by seniors
Tammy Siiner. who had a career
record of lb digs against the
Wildcats, and Kim Keys, who has a
team high 49 kills and is averaging
a team high 4 9 kills a game.
This weekend's lournameni
should be a good test for the
Minutewomen and will give the
team an idea of where they stand,
and where they need to make
improvenienis.

UMass' gameplan hinges slightly
on the status of Karslen Bremke
Bremke is listed as "questionable"
due to a groin pull, and his status will
not be determined until game time.
Bremke played solidly against La
Salle and Virginia Tech, anchoring
the midfield corps and leading the
offense. When forced to play without
Bremke on Wednesday against Maine
though. Sieve lones chipped in an
evcelleni performance and Dave
Siljanovski picked up the scoring
slack, minimizing Bremke's loss The
depth will benefit UMass as the gru-
eling portion of its schedule com
mences.
"We certainly missed the way
I Bremke) pulls the whole midfield
uigeiher. but we were able to play
without him." Koch said "It was a
nice win to be able to {beat Maine]
without him in ihe midfield. Karsien
is definitely our best center midfield-
er, but Jones did a great job in his
absence "
"Karsien's our main target on the
field with freekicks and working the
ball out of the back," Siljanovski
said "Without him it put some
more pressure on jour forwards], li
mad ' me work up front a little
harder."
A talented crop c' Ireshmen have

extra playing lime Scott Regina.
lake Brodsky, and Brad Kurowski in
particular have been impressive in
the midlield. Paul C\>rcoran has

tributing 10 all facets of UMass'
game
"We've been able lo see some
Ireshmen play and we got some good
things out of that," Koch commented.
"As a coaching staff we mivk' know a
little more about the younger players
that we've never really seen play

As the Minutemen gear up to host

striker. "She reveives her balls well and gets them away
quickly."
GW has another stai in their goaltender. Danielle

"She plaNcd iniured in that jA 10 Chumpionshipj
game " Rudy i.i>iiiriiented on the Colonial neiniinder "In
the first 15 minutes of that game she had a couple of
one on one confrontations, got knocked lo the ground
and she ^lill stayed in there. She came in against us a little
banged up. but she hud a hell of a game that day."
Rudy Icels that both teams arc strong and that the game
will po>-c .IV ii measuring stick as to how talented each of
the teams are.
"This is a very complete team we are facing in George
Washington." Rudy said. "They return all their starting
midfield. as do we. which is a strength for both teams.
and they ha\c the counter-attacking ability with the lefty
Chemar Smith."
Rudy also explained that each team may have a weak-
ness in today's contest.
"We aren't exactly the fastest team." said Rudy. "Their
defense is very quick, it's going to be very hard to beat
them with speed becau.se they are so fast.
"The only question with them is: Do they have a
bench'.'" Rudy asks "We haven't really seen ttwt in the
scouting reports or in the game stats."

Now we're not saying anyone's lying, you understancj.
It's just The Princeton Review can't seem to figure out exactly what's true.
Their advertised average LSAT score improvement dropped from "10+ points"
in 1993 to 7.5 last year. Now an arbitration panel has ruled that their "study"
really only supported an average improvement of 6 9 points That same arbi-
tration panel ruled similarly for their MCAT, GRE and GMAT studies.
In fact, Princeton Review has been forced to abandon or lower every score
claim that has ever been legally challenged and resolved.

THE MASSACHUSETTS DAILY COLLEGIAN
UM to face Richmond in opener
By Andrew Bryc*
Collegian Staff
Massachusetts football coach Mike Hodges
said that Richmond has an excellent running
game — according to the statistics. Although he
doesn't know how the Minutemen's upcoming
opponent did it. Hodges does know by the statis-
tical wrap-up. that the Spiders did beat Virginia
Miliian 51-28 last weekend.
And that's all he can count on.
"Since we didn't play last weekend, we don't
have a film to exchange with them. So. we are
not allowed to see any film on Richmond."
Hodges said, noting that was a Yankee
Conference rule.
Film or no film, Richmond is in town for UMass"
home opener, with kickoff set for I p.m. tomorrow
afternoon at Warren McGuirk Alumni Stadium.
The Minutemen's preseason wa> filled with
questions as to who was going to be starting quar-
terback. A week back. Hodges and staff answered
the question with their choice in sophomore Vito
Campanile, who sat out last season with a torn
anterior cruciate ligament suffered in a preseason
scrimmage. Three-year starter Andrew McNeiliy
was relegated to a backup role.
"I feel comfortable that we've made the dcxi-
sion [to go with Vito|," Hodges said.
The entire backfield is intact from last season.
so there should not be too many drastic changes
in the Minutcman offense. Senior All-America
Rene Ingoglia, junior Frank Alessio and junior
Ron Bruckington form one of the most powerful
rushing attacks in the nation.
Ingoglia was recently chosen to participate in
the 50lh Hula Bowl Classic in Honolulu, Hawaii.
He was picked along with such running backs as
Auburn's Heisman Trophy candidate Stephen
Davis. Nebraska's Clinton Childs and Ohio
State's Eddie George.
As for Richmond, they are coming off the
25-point win over VMI. junior tailback Minoso
Rodgers made his first career start, rushing for
193 yards and three touchdowns on 34 carries.
horn
Reid
continued trom page 14
finishing sixth in total defense
(266.1 yards per game) and ninth in
scoring defense (14.7 points per
game). And his defense was the key
in the Aloha Bowl victory over
Kansas State on Christmas Day of
last year.
The Richmond job then opened
up. Head coaching job. The Spiders
went 5-8 when Reid was in Eagle
land. The job was his if he wanted
It. But why leave Boston College"?
"I knew what was down here..."
Reid began to say.
But that wasn't it.
"... and everybody said, 'you
can't win down here.' And to say
that you can't win something is an
indictment on a sport that I love,
whether it's right or not right,"
Reid said.
And so now. Reid is a instrumen-
tal pan of the construction plan in
Richmond. The football program
needs direction, one that leads to
success not only in the classroom
(Richmond is a school noted for its
academic excellence more than its
athletic accomplishments), but on
the fleld. as well.
"We're on a journey here." Reid
said. "It's the beginning of a
six-year journey when we have
goals. Our first goal is to have con-
ditioned athletes with a good atti-
tude. We haven't talked about win-
ning. There's 100 things that need
to be accomplished before we win."
While talking to Reid about his
rebuilding process at Richmond,
you can't help but ask him if he
wishes he was working under
UMass AD. Bob Marcum The
smoke being settled around UMass
football since 1992. the program
being refurbished and rejuvenated,
everything looking up since
Marcum arrived...
"No way. What I do feel good
about is the job [Marcum] has
done. I don't look at it that way. I
have a lot of pride in the UMass
program, regardless of what some
may say. I do appreciate him for
treating me with cordiality.
"Bob brings fans back, and
we're..." Reid pauses, realizing he
said 'we' when talking about
UMass. and then corrects himself.
'They're finally reaching their
potential."
There are those ties to UMass
again.
Football a 'passion' for Reid
You can hear it in his voice, you
can see it in his dedication to the
game of football and. most impor-
tantly, the kids themselves. Reid
has a deep down desire to aid the
development of the players on his
team.
"I have a passion for the game."
Reid said. "You'll go to the game,
and you'll see two teams competing
against each other. Yet football is
so much more than you see. you get
into the player's lives. It's the great-
est environment.
"Football is people getting to
know each other. You talk about
races — black and white... every-
body gets together, everybody helps
each other out, everybody gets a
role. It's everything about foot-
ball... not just what you'll see on
Saturday."
So. it's safe to say that football is
continued from page )4
I've ever had. It was sunny, the grass
was green and the organ was playing.
How beautiful. I even forgot about
the strike while I was sitting there
watching the Sox pound the Angels
8-1
But even though I love Fenway, I
agree that there should be a new ball-
park built. But don't tear Fenway
down. Keep it as a landmark. Do
something. It would be a shame to
see the park that played hosi to so
many great games, to so many great
players, reduced to nothing. It would
be disgraceful, just as tearing the
Boston Garden down will be.
Don't do it.
• I never thought I would say it,
but Michael Jordan is a greedy bas-
tard. The man makes around $4 mil-
lion just playing for the Chicago Bulls
and makes over $30 million in
endorsements. But he still has the
gall to say that he'll never be able to
make what he's worth. I'm sorry.
Michael, but do you really deserve to
make all that money when you're just
playing basketball? No. You're not
saving any lives. You're not making a
■ field hockey
difference in the world. You're just
playing basketball. I used to be your
biggest fan. I thought you were down
to earth. I thought you were unlike
everyone else in the sports world. But
you're just like everyone else.
Greedy.
• Watch out for the Red Sox in the
playoffs. Everyone is saying beware
oi the Seattle Manners and that the
Sox can't beat Cleveland. But I'd put
my money on them in both
match-ups. If the Sox" pitching holds
up then they have a great chance to
win the pennant. Their hitting is
there, but the pitching will lead them
to victory.
If the Wakefields, Clemens and
Hansons can continue to throw well.
Boston could be heading for a return
trip to the World Series. And. like
the commercial says. "Buckner will
be avenged... Buckner will be
avenged."
• A special thanks to Iranian |abim
Rabudabi for the flowers. I really
appreciated it.
Candice Flemming is a Collegian
Columnist.
The Minutemen backfield, including tailback Frank Alessio, hopes to
be running wild against Richmond tomorrow.
Reid's life. Right?
"Well, yeah, but you have to
remember what football means to
me, what it encompasses," Reid
said. "Yes. tootball's my life, but
it's not coming in. telling the team
to lift, getting them on the field,
yelling at them, and then leaving.
It's more of a developmental
thing, it's fun to watch them
develop."
At UMass. Reid saw teams
develop while being an assistant
coach for the likes of MacPherson
(1975-77). Pickett (1978-83) and
Robert Stull (1984-85). He did
the same while being in charge of
the Minutemen from 1986 to
1991. Reid got small doses at
Richmond and Boston College, and
now he's back at Richmond for
some more.
"Some guys come back to see
me," Reid says, "and say. 'I never
quite understood what you wanted
from us. but now I understand.'
That's better than any
$85.00O-$9O.0O0 salary."
Welcome back to Amherst. |im

know how good Deleware is. so I have
no idea how good Maryland is."
Sunday's game will be
Massachusetts' first ever against
American. The Eagles were one of
last season's biggest surprises finish-
ing with a record of 15-3. They
return nine starters from that squad.
American enters with a 1-0 record
as well and is also coming off of a
pounding. The Eagles offense explod-
ed for six goals over Drexel. Last
year's leading scorer Stacy Ann
Siu-Butt (35 goals 12 assists) picked
up where she left off with three goals
and one assist.
The two games will be the first of
many on turf for the Minutewomcn.
whose first two games have been on
the grass of Totman Field. UMass has
not been able to convert on any
penally corner chances so far this
season, but Donnelly thinks that the
level turf might be the answer to that
drought.
"I think the penalty comer is going
to be very good on turf." she said.
"We have an excellent battery. I think
its going to be a good penally cor-
ner."
Massachusetts will counter both
teams with a line-up that includes
three freshmen. Erica Johnston has
been solid so far at forward, while
both Kate Putnam and Katherine
McClellan have contributed at mid-
field.
Donnelly said that while she
expects them to make some mistakes,
she is confident in what they can add
to the team.
"We brought them in because we
believe in them. You have to put
them out there." Donnelly said. "You
know they're going to make mistakes,
but what they'll do for you is more
important than the mistakes.
"They have to go through it. At
some time they're going to have to
make mistakes in the game, and let
them go and be confident against the
Carolinas and Old Dominions."

Jim Reid returns to Massachusetts
fty Ar«dr«w Bryce
CoUegion Staff
Take a look around Amherst, and loiik for lini Reids
house of 25 years. He does not live there anymore. Check
out who is coaching the Massachusetts lootball team, and
Mike Hodges is entering his fourth season as head coach.
There is no Reid. a fixture in the system from N7 > I9*)2.
.And besides, why talk about Reid around here, a coach
who controversially lell the Minutenian pi>sl in 19»)2. and
has had three different coachmg jobs since then'
Well, today. |im Reid is back in town Not (o visit his
family, who resided in Amher^l for the three years after
he resigned, before moving down to \irginia early this
past summer. Reid i* now the head coach of the
University of Richmond football team, the Minuter.ien's
first opponent of the H'Jt season in tomorrow s game at
Warren McGuirk Stadium
Reid is back, and you can bel many of his old faithful
supporters will be in attendance. He will not be the talk
of town because he was just an .Amherst resident, nor
because he was jusi a former L'Mass coach. Tomorrow
afternoon will mark the first time Reid ha^ stepped on the
grass of McGuirk Stadium since November 2>. I*W1.
A time *o long ago in the lilc of lim Reid.
Promise thai couldn't be fuirilled
"I gotta' tell you. I regretted it the sivond I did it." Reid
said "I loved it there, my family loved it there. Heck. I
kept my family there fiir an additional three years. | still
have strong lies with UMass. there'^ no question."
Reid vet bally re-igned a^ head coach at LIMass on Ian.
25. N'»2. after learning the UHnball budget was being cut
by SlOO.lKH). and officially tendered his resignation on
Feb 15 The athletic department had decided scholar-
ships which Reid had previously promised incoming
recruits would not be hi'nored.
.As soon a- former LMass athletic director Frank
Mclnemey lold him the situation, which wa» less than
two weeks before the National Letter of Intent "-igning
deadline. Reid MikkI up. and -aid. "I quit " After 14 years
in the LMass ft>otball -ystem. Reid walked away from his
job.
Three weeks later, lim Reid was offered an assistant
coaching job at Richmond l.e-- than two week^ after
that. Reid accepted the job as Spider defensive coordina-
tor In a matter of a month. Reid's promising future at
UMass went south — to Richmond. Va.
The 1>J'J2 and 19*15 seasons saw Reid spearhead a
defense that many -ay wa- chiefiy responsible for the dra-
matic tumariiund in Richmond liK>lball. During the previ-
ous four season- — that i-. pre lim Reid — the Spiders
were 8-56 With him. Richmond went 7-» (after going
2-'i in H91> and 5*. Not a bad turnaround, and people
noticed.
Dan Henning did. too. He took over Tom Coughlin s
head coaching post at Bo-ton College and tabbed Reid as
his defensive ccKiidinuior. Two years started timullously
with the difficult resignation al a Division l-A.A Yankee
Conference school in UMass. and transformed into a
Division l-A Big East assistant coaching job.
"You talk about being blessed." Reid said.
The first way Reid mention- his Boston College job
during the l')94 season was the way anyone else would
have — he coached the same B C team who upset Notre
Dame.
"I sat in my office, and just iiKik it all in. I couldn't
believe I was there. It wa- a mazing. It was just the way it
happened..." Reid said.
The win over the Iri-h was big lime, but Reid trea.-ures
his time working under Henning ju-t as much.
"I put him right up there with Dick MacPher-on and
Bob Pickett as my main influence- in liK>tball " Reid said,
noting two former UMass coaches he worked under
"Dan., he always found time for his players. Some coach-
e- have a tough time remembering all of their names.
Everyday. I learned -omething profound from Henning —
treating a player, handling an ego. helping players vvith a
problem I mean, the guy ought to be a psychologist."
Reid marvels at Hennings talks on the eve of game
days.
"His Friday-night talks." Reid said, "would put anyone
to shame. They were not mandatory I'd listen to every
word, and I'd bring a (XMi and pad.
"You know who else was like that to me? Dick
MacPherson. ^ ou know who else'' Bob Pickett."
There are those ties to UMass.
Leave B.C. for Ruhmond?
Reid- B.C defen-e was among the best in the nation.

Ripken's feat
unbelievable;
Mr. Greedy
Amazing.
That just about says it all.
As I watched Cal Ripken make history by break-
ing Lou Gehrig's "unbreakable" record on
Wednesday night, I had chills throughout my body.
His feat is absolutely unreal, and should never be
broken ever again. With the way players are today,
sitting out a game because of an in-grown toenail,
Ripken's record should remain unbreakable. But
who knows? People said the same thing about
Gehrig's record, too.
The scene at
Camden Yards was
unbelievable. For 22
minutes and 15 sec-
onds the crowd gave
Ripken a standing
ovation as his team-
mates and others got
it all on video tape.
When he started to jog around the ballpark, shaking
as many fans' hands as he could, it reminded me of
Yaz in 1985 And the best part about watching it on
TV was that throughout the entire 22 minutes and
15 seconds, ESPN's Chris Berman didn't say a
word That made the scene even more special, even
more exciting.
In my opinion. Cal Ripken is one of. if not the.
classiest people in baseball To see him so over-
whelmed by the ovation he was getting atul to see
the tears in his eyes was just great. He is what base-
ball should be.
• Fenway Park is absolutely the best ballpark in
the Major Leagues.
Sure, Camden Yards and lacob's Field are nice,
but there is no place like Fenway. Which is why it
can never be destroyed. Yes, it is too small. Yes, the
seats are old and crummy. Yes, it should be in a
place with better parking But it is the best park to
sit dowrn and watch a game.
I had forgotten how incredible it was to watch a
game at Fenway (I hadn't been there in a couple of
years) until I had the pleasure to see the Red Sox
play the Califomia .Angels last Sunday I had seats
about four rows from left field. In all my time at
Fenway, I've never had seats on the left side of the
ballpark, but these had to be some of the best seats

UM to meet Terrapins

Massachusetts field hiK'key team is
hungry tor more, thi- time on the
road.
The Minutewomen head to
College Park. Md . for weekend
showdown- with Maryland today
and American University on
Sunday
UMass will be hoping for its first
win in three trie- again-t the
Terrapins, in their last meeting.
Maryland eliminated Massachu-etts
in the quarterfinal- of the 1995
NCAA tournament en route to the
National Champion-hip.
.Afier that National Title season.
Maryland was victimized by gradu-
ation and finished a mediocre
10 9-2, but Massachusetts head
couch Megan Donnelly expects
them to be solid.
"Maryland didn't have a good
year last year, but I think they're
going to be a very strong team,"
Donnelly said. "Its going to be a
game that could really affect the
seasons of the two teams."
Maryland enter- the game with a
1-0 record on the season, afier a
i 0 drubbing of Delaware Nadine
Bennett had three goal-, while
Sarah Rosenwinkel added two to
secure a shutout for goaltender
Alana Eliwall

victory isn't a ginid measuring stick
for her to use to judge Maryland.

And the rivalry continues...
In a rematch of the last two Atlantic 10 tournament
finals, the Massachusetts women's sutcer team faces off
against the Colonial Women of George Washington today
at 5 p m. at Richard F. Garber field.
■|"he two team- played twice la-t season and both games
were won by UMass. while each lime the margin was just
one goal. The regular season match at GW was a 1-0 win
and the A- 10 finals was a hard fought 2 -1 victory.
Even though Massachusetl- ha- triumphed the last
three limes the teams have met, Minutewomen coach |im
Rudy -till feels that btith teams represent the best of the
be-t in ihe.A 10.
"1 don't look at us as the A 10 powerhouse." Rudy
said "1 liKik at us two as the A 10 powerhouses. They
have been gelling better every year and from what 1 hear
from the scouting reports is that this year, they are com-
ing out better than ever."
La-t season GW had the pleasure of having the talent-
ed Chemar Smith. Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year, on
their side of the ball Smith led her team in goals and
points scored a- a lie-hman. ( 1 1 goals, three assists for
25 ptiints) and ha- been joined upfront by recruit lane

For the third time in this young season, the
Massachusetts men's soccer team (2-0-1) will oppose an
unfamiliar Atlantic 10 opponent, when the Fordham
Rams (2-0) come to Richard F. Garber Field for a 1 p.m.
tih.
The Minutemen rolled over La Salle (4-1) and tied
Virginia Tech (1-1) last weekend, and will look to notch
a hat trick wnth a victory on Saturday.
The Rams enter their conference opener on the heels
of single-goal home victories over Marist College and
Long Island University last weekend in the Bronx. The
Rams have not played since Sunday and will be well rest-
ed
Forwards Sal Leanti and Robert Zulclich, who com-
bined for three goals and two assists in the Ram's open-
ing games, spearhead Fordham's attack. UMass coach
Sam Koch expects the duo to be the focal point of the
Ram's strategy and a good test for his defense.
"[Fordham] should be well rested, well coached and
we expiect a good game," Koch said. "Closing down the
two front-runners will be the key to stopping their
offense. Tactically, they go to the two front-runners.
They'll attack out of the midfield but the two
front-runners are the ones who do most of the goal
scoring,"

-HON SMITH COtlK.I*N
Amy Ott and the rest of the Minutewomen field hockey have a tough weekend ahead of them facing
Maryland and American University.
Afier the Peter McNeely foolish-
ness, there is a fear throughout the
boxing industry, that Mike Tyson
might be loo guKl. If his fights con-
tinue to last such a short period of
lime, people might stop purchasing
the pay per -view.
In the interest of
protecting the integrity
of this >acred ^11erican
Institution, a lisi of
ptitential opponents for
Iron Mike, that you would still shell
out the $50 to see is circulating
through the innermost boxing circles.
Here is an exclii-i\c peek at this list:
Richard Simmons — lust picture
it... Blfcditi^ /() ihc Oldies. Ladies
and Gentleman the fight you've all
been waiting lor. Deal a Mccil pre-
sents the fight of the century: Iron
Mike Tyson versus the Flabbuster
Richard Simmons.
Despite the fact that this bout
would last less that a minute, admit
you would spend whatever they
asked to see the expression on
Simmons' annoying little face after
the fir-i punch.
lanet Reno — In the first fight in
over 40 years in Waco, Texas... Reno
is one lough woman. It's a wonder
she hasn't kicked the hillbilly around
Washington. Ill give 12 to I odds
that Reno will knock Tyson out in
two rounds.
Courtney Love She thought she
was aching during that annoying
"Doll Parts" song. She has no musi-
cal talent and she makes a lot of
money with that, so why not try it in
the ring.
The Nelson Twins — Better yet
the record executive that thought it
would be a good idea
to let these weenies
record another album.
Shaquille O'Neal -
He can't act. He can't
rap. He can't shoot
free throws. Maybe he can box. By
sheer size O'Neal would at least
stand a chance.
Bill Laimbeer — Rumor has it
johnny Most would rise from the
grave for a chance to call this fight.
Hugh Grant — A punch from
Tyson might be the only thing that
can kniKk some sense into this buf-
foon. Let's see. you're dating
Elizabeth Hurley and you pay Divine
Brown. I'll take "Morons that can't
act" for $1000 Alex. You can dub
this one "Four Punches and a
Funeral."
George Steinbrenner — Every TV
in the tri-state area would be tuned
to the fight.
Rush Limbaugh — Is Mike Tyson
a democrat? Everything Rush has
ever said about minorities would
come crashing down in a big hurry. If
you think Geraldo getting his nose
broken by a chair drew the ratings,
imagine Limbaugh getting his face
broken by Iron Mike.
Susan Smith — Unless she can
smuggle in a vehicle into the ring
she's in trouble. But at last a punish-
ment that fits the crime.
Nancy Kerrigan — "Ahh my face!
My face! Why me?!" she'd yell. Well
Nancy because of your bad attitude
and over-exposure, half the world
would spend big bucks to watch you
get your butt kicked.
Don King — This would at last
allow this irritating windbag to make
a real contribution to boxing. King's
only chance to win would be to talk
Tyson to death, but it probably won't
last long enough.
Barney — I love you. You love me.
<BOOM>, The chance to watch a
live pummeling of the purple
dinosaur might set new records for
pay-per-view receipts,
Michael lackson — There are
about 50 little boys whose parents
will take care of the entire promo-
tions. Beat Him. lust Beat him.
Shannon Faulkner — She has a lot
of free time now, with no school
work to worry about, judging from
the shape that she entered the Citadel
in, she could definitely be considered
a heavyweight. Sounds like a good
match, except she'd probably call off
the fight due to heat exhaustion after
the first week of training.
Andrew Bryce — The kid needs to
get slapped around a bit.

UM Police release
sketch of subject
The University of
Massachusetts Police

identi-kit sketch of the suspect
in Wednesday night's assault in
Southwest.
"The victim in this particular
incident did scream," said Phil

the campus police department. He
said police are hoping someone
heard or saw something.
A student was assaulted and
thrown to the ground Wednesday
night as she walked from her resi-
dence hall to Hampshire Dining
Hall Wednesday between 10:15
and 10:20. The incident happened
shortly after the victim realized
she was being following and pro-
ceeded down the stairwell near
the Dining Hall.
The assailant used some kind of
"edged instrument," and the vic-
tim received "minor lacerations
and abrasions," according to the
police log.
Public Safety asks that anyone
who recognizes an individual fit-
ting the idenli-kil sketch descrip-
tion to please call f^Jblic Safety or
the Community Disorders Unit
immediately.
The suspect is a white male,
5'10", 180 lbs, with "brown
scruffy hair," according to the
police report He was wearing a
navy blue shirt with a yellow
emblem on the chest and jeans or
jean shorts
All information provided to
assist police in this investigation
will be confidential.
— Amy H Paradys:
UMass police are currently searching for a suspect in an assault
that took place Wednesday evening in Southwest. The suspect is
described as a white male, 5' 10", 180 pounds, with scruffy brown
hair. Anyone who recognizes an individual fitting the identi-kit
sketch description should call Public Safety or the Community
Disorders Unit immediately.
ESL schools earn grant money
By Poul Hay*t
Collegian Staff
Two local language organizations,
the Center for New ,Americans (CNA)
and the International Language
Institute (ILI), will benefit from a $4
million increase in the Depanment of
Education's fiscal 1996 budget lor
adult basic education programs.
However, the Center for New
Americans was expecting another
$40,360 in grants which had been set
aside for them, according to Lynne
Weintraub, head of the CNA chapter
in Amherst
"The Department of Education
told us we got the $92,599 and that's
it." said Weintraub. "But we were
earmarked to get the other $40,560
as well."
Most of that $40,560 was to be
used to fund a collaboration with the
Hampshire Educational Collaborative
(HEC).
State Senator Stan Rosenberg
(D- Amherst) said he does not know
what had happened, but suggested the
money had possibly gone to the HEC.
No one from HEC was available
for comment
Aiding new Americans
The Center for New Americans, an
organization which offers English as
a Second Language (ESLi courses,
was given a grant of $92,399 by the
Department of Education.
The CNA is a newly formed orga-
nization with chapters at the lones
Library in Amherst, the Greenfield
Public Library in Greenfield, and the
Hampshire Heights Community
School in Northampton
Most of the money from this grant
will go towards materials and pro
viding students with assistance for
ESL courses, said Weintraub.
The CNA is also authorized to give
the Immigration and Naturalization
Services (INS) exam, the test immi-
grants take in order to become citi-
zens, according to Weintraub.
Before becoming the CNA, the
three chapters were independent ESL
courses, with the one in Amherst
teaching resettled Cambodians
amongst others, and the other two
chapters taught Tibetan immigrants
exclusively, Weintraub said.
In becoming the CN.A, the three
separate groups became eligible for
funding that >eparuiely they could

Military programs expanding at University
By Chris ConiMr
CoUagion Stoff
Despite cutbacks in the beginning of the decade,
the U.S. military is making a resurgence, including
programs on several Western Massachusetts col-
lege campuses.
Lt Greg Tolmoff, a 1995 University of
Massachusetts graduate who now serves as a public
relations officer for the UMass branch of the Air
Forve ROTC, said the orientation held this August
for prospective cadets at UMass was a great suc-
cess.
"IThe orientation] is designed to get new stu-
dents into ROTC, and to show them what to
expect from ROTC," he said.
Tolmoff, who started as a cadet in his first year
at the University and begins fighter pilot training in
March, said that two years after he began the pro-
gram it was in danger of closing. Since then, enroll-
ment has doubled, said Tolmoff.
One of the primary reasons for the rise in the
number of cadets is the greater availability of Air
Force ROTC scholarships at present. 'Tolmoff
said.
"We have more money than people |at UMass
ROTCI." he said.
For instance, he said there is a cadet at Amherst
College receiving a full scholarship to the institu-
tion, which at full tuition costs In excess of
$26,000.
In addition, that student is also pakl the requisite
$1 50 in monthly earnings for cadets.
"We figured out he's making about $150 an
hour." Tolmoff said
"(The orientation! is designed
to get new students into ROTC.
and to show them what to
expect from ROTC. "
- Lt. Greg Tolmoff
of the UMass branch of ROTC
ROTC at LMass
Thirty-five first-year students attended the
week-long orientation, which Tolmoff said was a
mixture of recreation and ROTC procedure.
"We just wanted them to see what the Air
Force has to offer," he said. "And also we wanted
to introduce them to campus life a little bit
early,"
Included in Ihe week were an introduction lo
"customs and courtesies." such as marching and
saluting, and athletic competitions.
Tolmtiff added that there was a healthy represen-
tation of women at the orientation - close to half
the participants.
"I have not seen any discrimination against
females," he said
Lt Colonel Glenn Stankiewicz, who runs the
UMass branch of the Air Force ROTC. concurred
with Tolmoff
"We me lo«iking for diverse views," he said
A way of life
As professor of (he Aerospace Sludiei
Department, where .Air Force ROTC operates,
Stankiewicz oversees the cadets and their progress
during the year while still teaching his "History of
Air Power" course.
"Any student can lake my class, not just cadets,"
he said "You don't have to be obligated to join the
military."
Enlisted since 1978, Stankiewicz said there is
still more to serving in the Air Force than just
financial gain — there is patriotism.
"You get the opportunity to serve your country
as a commissioned officer." he said. "And in doing
so you defend the American way of life."
Global leadership course offered
Intensive class vuill focus on personal qualities & relationships
By Jonathan Liberty
Collegian Correspondent
In an intensive new course, the nature of leadership is
examined by focusing on current concepts of leadership
on a global scale.
Offered by the School of Education's Social justice
Program, "Leadership in Changing Times." which was
taught for a brief time in the 1980s, has been revived by
instructors Dr. Margaret Arsenault. and Katja
Hahn-d'Errico, Coordinator of Student Bu.sinesses.
The leadership course was discontinued when the for-
mer director of student activities — now campus activities
— left the University.
The revised version is a three-credit course featuring
one weekly lecture, Tuesdays from 2:30 to 5 p.m. in Rm.
239 Chenoweth Laboratory.
Arsenault says that having one long lecture will allow
for more in depth discussion and learning.
Students who wish to register for this course must
either go to the Campus Activities office or contact one of
the instructors.
As the Seventh Annual Leadership Conference took
place in August, Arsenault and Hahn-d'Errico said they
realized the conference was too limited.
The small leadership workshops and the conference on
the whole did not allow fur the depth the instructors
desired. Thus, they reinvented Leadership in Changing
Times.
The instructors feel that the standards of leadership
within the US. must be explored and possibly changed.
By concentrating on the "inclusive global interconnect-
edness" of people, this course explores the relationship
between leaders and followers. The American hierarchal
pyramid will be questioned and compared to new con-
cepts of leadership such as shared leadership and the sci-
entific Chaos theory.
According to the instructors, when the class focuses
specifically on leaders, the whole person is examined. In the
past only business-like qualities were taken into account.
Hahn-d'Errico said that all leaders "must have connec-
tions between their heads and their hearis."
Arsenault agreed, saying that leadership must recognize
the whole person and their changes within the needs of
their organization.
"Leadership in Changing Times" will help develop a
leadership program which will combine academics with
experience Within the course, students will perform self-
assessment exercises and take part in several interactive
activities. Also, outside lecturers will contribute to the

Bookshop hosts New Age series Students organizing bulletin boards
Joseph R. Fountain
Collegian Correspondent
An Amherst bookstore is the stage
for a free lecture series on healing
which includes methods from medita-
tion to deep touch.
The "Free Friday Night Lecture"
series started one year ago and is the
creation of Jeremy Youst, owner of
Oasts, the shop where the lectures
are held. Most of the lectures are
given by Five College area residents.
Future lectures will include such
topics as "Self Healing and the
Human Energy Field," "Being in the
Workplace Without Selling Your
Soul" and "Healing Hands."
"We're letting people with special
skills come in and offer their services
teaching people," Youst said. "In the
past we've had lectures on reiki,
channeling and acupuncture. This
series also allows people to network
their skills to the community."
"In the past I've gone to lectures
on channeling and the druids," said
University of Massachusetts senior
Melissa Levangie. "This is a great
series and you can learn a lot about a
topic that would normally be really
hard to research in a regular library."
During the day, Oasis specializes in
new age concepts and ideas. Shelves
contain books on meditation, self help
guides and many other topics that fol-
low the theme of the lecture series.
"It's a bookstore that sells new age
religion and health," said Seth
Corbett of Northampton. "They have
stuff that enlightens your mind. I'd
definitely shop there again."
At the most recent lecture on Sept.
8. approximately fifteen people
attended an ancient ceremony for the
changing of the seasons.
Seated in a circle, each person
mentioned something they were glad
for and hoping for over the next year.
The ceremony was meant to remind
people of the days when all humans
were planters and harvesters.
Youst conducted the ceremony, a
departure from the outside lecturers
who usually speak at Oasis.
"This was something special," he
said.
Youst said that space in Oasis is
limited, making reservations some-
times necessary.

The bulletin boards in the Campus Center should
appear less cluttered this semester due to the efforts of a
student group.
At the close of last year, the Campus Center/Student
Union Committee approved a measure to reorganize the
boards to serve the free advertising needs of the student
body in a more accessible fashion.
Matthew Auger, a senior Early Childhood Education
major, is the chair of the committee and was integral in
the execution of the project.
"We're simply trying to put the right notices in the right
area." he said.
Previously, the messages on the board were randomly
placed and were not regularly changed even after events
had past.
Auger, who first got the idea to revamp the boards
from Craft Shop director Susan Bourque (who is currently
on maternity leave), said he sought to categorize the fly-
ers, as well us keeping them updated.
In addition, information and FYI boards have been
introduced which feature semester and bus schedules.
"Hopefully, we'll have sports schedules soon," Auger
said.
Other boards encompass a variety of topics from Five
College events to job opportunities, with many flyers
appearing in more than one section to enhance their visi-
bility.
""TTiey more than likely will overlap," Auger said. "We
deliberately made them overlap."
Although the new divisions are of>en for use for all stu-
dents, notices must be placed in the correct sections, and
there can be no more than five copies of one notice posted
or they will be removed. Auger said
To help students find the appropriate section or sec-

Prof, named as head
of women's studies
By Aimee Schwortz
Collegian Sla((
Ann Ferguson, a member of ihe
Philosophy Department, has
accepted a three year term as the
new director of the Women's
Studies Department.
Tm looking forward to doing
this job and to developing our
resources in a more full way,"
Ferguson said.
As the new director. Ferguson
plans to improve the newly opened
student lounge in Bartlett Hall.
Ferguson said the lounge is a place
for women's studies students to be
social and to network for political
issues, although it may be used as
an educational center since it has a
library and a place to watch videos.
'I want to strengthen the part of
the program that helps women find
their own voices." Ferguson said.
Some of Ferguson's other goals
are to reach out to more faculty, to
give out and receive information
about women's issues and to devel-
op a women's studies graduate
program.
Ferguson is known as an activist
for women's issues and has partici-
pated in the women's studies pro-
gram here at UMass since it began
in 1974.
"1 think I got [involved with
women's issues) originally because
of a sense of outrage against war
and racial inequality." Ferguson
said. "I got involved with women
because women's issues were being
ignored in those movements."
Ferguson stresses the impor-
tance of political activism in her
classes. Women's Studies "came
out of a commitment to challenge
sexism. It is a program that has it's
roots in political activism to Tight
social injustice." she said.
Community involvement has
been an important part of
Ferguson's life. She has been politi
cally active since the 1960s and
currently involved with Feminist
Aid to Central America, a group
that offers education and material
aid to Central American women,
and ARISE, a group that focuses
on welfare rights and the rights of
poor and minority women.
Gingrich urges Powell to stay with GOP
By Jim Abrams
AJuxiated Press
WASHINGTON — House Speaker Newt
Gingrich urged retired Gen. Colin Powell to give
up any idea of an independent candidacy, saying
Sunday that having a president outside the current
party system is "a joke" that could lead to disaster.
Gingrich, in an interview on NBC's 'Meet the
Press." also revealed some details of the GOP plan
to restore fiscal integrity to Medicare, including a
proposal to apply means-testing to couples earning
more than $125,000.
Powell, in his new autobiography, says he is
comfortable with neither party and that the time
may be ripe for the rise of a third party to represent
the political center in America. In the book, he
makes no commitment to lead such a party.
Gingrich (R-Ga.) siwngly urged him ugainst thai
course. "I think it's frankly in the long run a joke."
he said. "This country is a patiy countr>'. ... There is
no magic independence of people who arc just able
to stand up and magically panlucc a government."
An independent presidency would be "a disaster
for this country." he said.
If Powell, former chairman of the loinl Chiefs of
Staff, ran as a Republican, he would immediately
become the chief rival to GOP front-runner Son
Bob Dole. Gingrich said.
Gingrich, like Powell, says he will make no
announcement of his own presidential intentions
until the end of the year. He has staled that he
would take a pass if Powell were to run as a
Republican, but in any case is leaning against
entering the race. "But I think that there is frankly
just enough of a desire for somebody who is
aggressive and arliculaic and willing (o lay out
boldly where we need to go that I can't quite close
the door at this .stage." he said.
Gingrich said it's inevitable for there to be some
sniping among the declared GOP nominees, but it's
important they make sure their poliiicjl battles
don't disrupt the Republican agenda tm lax cuts,
and welfare and Medicare reform.
"If we allow ourselves to get pulled ajian in the
next 30 or -10 days, we're going to look like idiots
and frankly, we're not going to elcvt anybody ncM
year to the presidency and we might lose the House
and Senate." he said.
Gingrich said the Medicare reform package lo be
announced by House Republicans this week would
maintain the M.'i percent share seniors must m.>w
pay for Medicare Part B costs and impose a means
test for senior couples earning S 1 25.000 or more

WASHINGTON — Sen. Bob Packwood wrote
his own headline for the behind-the-scenes dealings
with lobbyists that helped lead to his downfall:
"Republican Fat Cat Buys off Senator with (ob to
Senator's Wife."
That diary entry, dated Dee. 10. 1990. is part of
a rare glimpse into the backroom connections
among money, politics and lobbyists that usually
are only whispered about on Capitol Hill, if they
are mentioned at all.
The Oregon Republican had not slept the night
before, worried that his divorce proceedings would
have to go to a public trial and the arrangements he
had made with lobbyists and political backers to
reduce his alimony payments would become
known, resulting in headlines like the one he
wrote.
The justice Department earlier this year declined
to prosecute Packwood for soliciting jobs for his
former wife from the lobbyists.
Yet the diaries provide unusual insights into how
lobbyists and business executives sometimes
exploit personal connections inside the Capitol to
benefit their own interests — and how they recip-
rocate to keep friendly politicians in power.
Excerpts were released last week by the Senate
Ethics Committee.
In one blunt entry. Packwood wrote that Ronald
Crawford, a lobbyist with the firm F/P Research
Associates, was helpful to him in raising money
from Washington political action committees
"because much of his income is dependent on his
relationship with me. He has got a vested interest
in my staying in office." In another. Packwood
recounted a 1990 dinner conversation with
Crawford in which the lobbyist offered to put up
$7,500 a year to help support Packwood's wife.
Georgie, after their marriage broke up.
"If you're chairman of the Finance Committee. I
can probably double thai." he quoted Crawford as
saying. Packwood. who at the time was a senior
minority member of ihc lax-writing panel, later
told the Ethics Committee the remark was meant
as a joke.
Packwood's entries underscore that access to the
powerful is the commodity that nets lobbyists their
six-figure salaries.
Once, he wrote, he let a group of officials from
the American Iron and 'J'' -^ Institute into his
office only because Crawford was their lobbyist.
Another time. Crawford came In Packwood's
office with a prospective client after explaining.
"People hear that you're lough lo gel to. and they
know I can get to you " PackwoiKf wrote that he
responded. "Well, that's a happy relationship lor
all of us.*
And on Sept. H. 19»9. Packwood recorded:
"Ron Crawford was in. He had a special problem
involving the transfer of partnership properties.
... what its tax consequences are. He said his
client was Shell Oil and this was very, very impor-
tant to him persc>nally. He said. 'I know hew
much you hale the oil companies ' I said. 'Ron. I
still hate the oil companies but I'll do you a
favor.'" Crawford, in a deposition before the
ethics panel, said he didn't offer Georgie
Packwood a job based on any request from the
senator, but said he had considered hiring her
part lime. He acknowledged that his contacts with
PackwovKl and his former aides were important to
his lobbying business.
'A lol of the former staffers are sprinkled
throughout the administration." he said. An annual
party lor Packwood as.sociales at his home "is |ust
an allempl lo enhance my own business opportuni
ties through those people, contacts, whatever they
might be." Crawford added.
Two of Packwooo s job solicitations for his (or
mer wife undep>cored the importance of personal
relationships forged when lobbyists begin their
careers as congressional aides.

Drought? What drought?
?
Suddenly, the fact that it hasn't rained in New
Fnglijnd pract'cally all summer long has become a
neu ^worthy issue. Because my family runs a veg-
etable farm, we ha\e been constantly and painfully aware
of the dryness My question, though, is why did it take
newscasters and the general public so long to realize a
problem which should have been noticed two months
ago''
The answer to that question lies in the nol-so-pretty
comer of human nature that is self-involvement Few peo-
ple in uur ^iKiety pay any attention to the events happen-
ing around them unless they are personally affected by
them
If the problem or issue exists outside the little bubble of
concerns which surrounds iheir families
and their property, then il is none of their
business, and they'd rather not think about
Nicole
Cournoyer
In the ca>e of this drought, mo>t people
didn't notice how urgent our need for ram
»a* until their lawns were no longer perfect and they
weren't allowed to water as much. Before this happened.
the\ con^ideted a --unny beach day the most important
thing in the world God forbid that their weekend vaca-
tion plan^ be di-rupted by a shower or two
Had the^e people dared to journey beyond their little
bubble^, they would have seen those of us whose liveli-
hi'od^ dep>end on getting some rain How many people, as
they hoped for another giKid tanning day, considered the
h^>nie~ that >.ould ha\e been lost due to brush fires or the
-leady kwering of the reservoir and groundwater levels?
Or the crops that wilted and shriveled and burned in the
scorching sun as fanners watched helplessly?
After two months without rain, we were still watching
the anchor people and weather people chat and joke on
the news about another "gorgeous weekend" on the way
— perfect for going to the Cape All we could do was
shake our heads, mumble "stupid people", watch the sky
and pray.
We were lucky. The farm did fairly well despite receiv-
ing only one inch of rain all summer. If that one inch
hadn't come just in time imid-luly). we would have lost
much more than we did.
What people need to realize is that we are all affected
by problems like this, no matter how indirectly. We need
water now for more than just rejuvenating this year's
growth (it's too late for that anyway — the
season's almost over) and dampening the
grass to reduce the risk of brush fires.
We need the rain to replenish our
groundwater and fill our reservoirs so we
don'i have a water shonage this winter.
Perhaps the only reason that i realized the seriousness
and far-reaching effects of this drought is because it is
part of my own bubble of concerns. There are so many
issues out there that I ignore and consider irrelevant to my
life but affect me nonetheless.
I know there are people out there who are concerned
about these issues and shake iheir heads at my ignorance
and wonder why I don't wake up. But everyone needs to
wake up and step outside themselves every once in a
while Concern means keeping your ears, eyes and heart
open.

Taking college for what it's worth
On Saturday afternoon I went
to my fir»i LMass football
game II wa- an experience.
.As senior (yahiv!). I want to e\pc-
nenct a- much as possible in the ten
~hi>n months I ha\e left I want to go
ii> a bavketball game (men's and
women'-), -ireak through Northeast,
"dye m> hair purple, and tailgate at
LMa-- lotxball games.
I went to the game with three
international students. We met up
with three other
-eniors who live on BT^^^^Ba
my floor who hap- HVMttlHk
pened to be tailgal- H^i^luSj
ing. I thought thai
five bucks to park
was a tad ridiculou". bui hey. the
alumni need to make money some-
how.
Now. imagine me. the person who
has a hard time telling the difference
between a -occer ball and a volley
ball, explaining my minuscule
amount of football knowledge. Of
course, the football learn losi dismal-
ly, 7-21. but the marching band was
pretty good.
Still, it was a very good game, with
great cheerleaders, over-priced food,
and of course, bad weather
The important thing was that I
went lo a football game at LMass —
something 1 had never done before.
With the little time thai I have left
this year. 1 want to accomphsh every-
thing I possibly can.
Suddenly, those nine little words
started to ring true. You know which
ones — the words you hear from
your parents on
move-in day. at convo-
cation, from your RA.
from your Biology 100
professor on the first
day of class — the
words you find yourself saying on the
first day of your senior year "These
are the best four years of your life."
In my case it was actually five and
a half, but the numbers aren't what
count. This is the time in our lives
when we can do anything we like.
We still believe we are invincible and
our bodies will never fail us. We can
drink on a Tuesday afternoon if we
like, and not have to worry about
being too hung over to go lo work
the next morning. We can dye our
hair three different colors or shave it
off completely and not worry about
losing our jobs.
We tan dis the chancellor, a profes-
sor, or an RA and not worry about
losing our job/position because of
something we said. We can get into a
compact car with seven other people
and drive twelve hours to spring
break. We can do all the wild and
crazy things that we couldn't do when
we lived at home with our parents
and we won't do after we graduate.
We have the opportunity to
explore all sorts of classes from
women's studies to Freud, from mar-
keting to sheet metal sculpture. This
is where we learn who we are and
how we learn to think. We become
whoever we want to be.
Coming to college is about more
than an education. It's about taking
risks and accepting the challenges
that life offers. Even if it's just going
to your first home football game.

misinterprets
To The Lditor:
I was amused lo read the article entitled, "Speaker
Target- Chancellor. Republican Parly at Conference."
{CDlU'gKin. Back lo School 1995 Edition, September 6th,)
The writer chose either to misinterprel Charles Merrill's
remarks or else totally misunderstood ihein. He quotes
Merrill a- follows: "When it comes to leadership do not
look k> Chancellor Scott as a role model. He is obsolete as
a Poli-h Cavalry men |sic| or a panda,.. .After all (he|

Orkney- which is ihe most importani piece of geography
in the world and he grew up in a couniry rotted by social-
i-ni
Merrill - remark- were in fact crafted to convey a subtle
message. He was pointing out that, sadly, il is becoming
Ic— likely for a child from a remote and humble home
(during my childhood my parents earned a maximum of
$500 per year) to attend some of the best institutions in
the United Kingdom (Edinburgh and Oxford), Only
because Scotland at that time was committed to a system
of public higher education for all who could benefit,
regardless of economic or social background, could a
child from an island of 4x2 miles, with a population of
100 people, have the chance for an education and a life
better than the daily struggle faced by my parents. Charles
Merrill was pointing out that the United Kingdom is now
dismantling the social system that made education a right
and not a privilege, and that we are in danger of doing the
same in this country. He was using irony to warn us that I
was obsolete, because those who come after me will not
have the same chance. He was not suggesting that this
obsolescence is a desirable state!
In these days of sound bites in the press. I suppose it is
inevitable that a metaphor will be lost even on those still
fortunate enough lo gain access to an excellent public
higher education at the University of Massachusetts.

It's the short male syndrome
Don't let those tacky license plates that proudly bear
the slogan "Short Is Beautiful" fool you — there is
absolutely nothing glamorous about being otk of
the world's vertically challenged.
Yes, I am a short male — a curse that has been
bestowed upon me for some unknown reason, and has
become my cross to bear for a lifetime. (No one in my
family is even close to short — something I did in a previ-
ous life?)
Before the word melodramatic can cross your lips, let
me give you an example of what I mean
Okay ladies, sit back and make yourselves
comfortable Close your eyes and envision
your perfect looking guy. Now I could be
wrong but chances are, a 5 foot 6 inch I 50
pound, rather diminutive looking sack of
skin and bones wasn't exactly the first
thing that popped into your mind — see
what I mean?
Being a short male can, and often is. a
very traumatizing thing It's not so bad
when you're younger, for some reason you
can sneak by as long as you project what I
like to call SMS (Short Man Syndrome)
This is where short males, who obviously feel some-
what inferior due to their height, try to compensate by
doing their damndest to prove just how manly they really
are. Often this is done by indulging themselves in such
macho cliches as hfting weights, driving really fast cars,
and tossing back ungodly amounts of beer.
But. alas, there comes a point in almost everyone's life
when they know that this charade just isn't going to cut
it anymore and a realization is made — you're short, and
you're not growing. From this point on the coping
begins.
I've watched myself go through this very cycle. Back in
my early high school days I constantly tried to prove that 1
could play basketball. Wearing Spud Webb's face like a
badge of courage, I would subject myself to getting my
butt whipped on the court by pituitary cases that treated
me as some sort of sorry joke.
Then one day I saw the light. After another routine ses-
sion of having the large orange ball shoved down my
throat a revelation came down from the heavens and
thankfully enlightened me — / sucked. And to make mat-
ters worse, not only would I never slam dunk, but I would
forever be hiding from the bully thai wanted to use me as
a human hackey sack.
1 also would constantly be carded at R-rated movies.
The Iront seat of my car would always have to pulled all
the way up. And I would never date a b-foot supermodel.
At first this hit me hard For an instant: the whole
world as I knew it was shattered — how
was I, as a man. going to fit into society?
How would I ever be treated with any
amount of respect? How would I reach the
high shelves when I lived on my own? I
raised my fist into the air and cursed the
very day I was brought into this cruel and
unforgiving world!
Well, I'm over all that now. I guess as
lime went on I became accustomed to'
being shorter than all my friends, and there
always seemed lo be some girl who was a
lot smaller than I was. Time marched on
and slowly but surely I came to accept my height. There
are many people in this world that are afflicted with
worse problems than my acute case of dinkiness.
But even though I've had this reconciliation with my
genes, there are times when 1 can't help but dream about
what it would like to be, gulp, tall It wouldn't be so bad
if we didn't live in a society that is rooted in physical
appearances.
1 mean, everywhere I turn I am assaulted with pictures,
movies and advertisements that contain buffed out dudes
succeeding in whatever it is that they're doing. It takes all
I've got not to develop an inferiority complex.
Let's face il — this world was not created for short
males (or left-handed people either, but that's an entirely
different story) and I'm sure that anyone who falls into
this category would greatly appreciate any positive com-
ments Maybe those dumb license plates aren't so bad
after all.
Mall Audette is a Collegian staff member
They always march to greatness
Tim
White
Sit as high up from the 50 yard
line as possible ,,, that's the
best place to hear them.
People pour out of the Warren G,
McGuirk Alumni Stadium every
Saturday at about the same time,
"Is the game over." says a passer-
by, "who won?"
"No, halftime just finished," replies
a patron.
For years, it's what people have
been coming to the football games to
see, the University of Massachusetts
Minuteman Marching Band. They
flood in to hear the best band they
have ever seen in their life — the
Minufemen could be down by 35 at
the half, and people
would still crowd
one-half of the stadi-
um to hear the roar
of the band.
But why here in
western Massachusetts? Why does
UMass have a Division lAA football
team with a Division I A band?
Most people attribute the "Power
and Class of New England" to its
Director, George N. Parks, who is
going into his 19th season at the
helm. But if you ask Parks, he would
probably throw the credit right back
to the band's approximately 300
members.
Another question comes up: why
are there so many members in the
first place?
It was the intensity and respect the
band gets at UMass that made senior
Becky Dimino join the group four
years ago.
"In high school, band was looked
dowm upon." says Dimino. who plays
trombone. "Then I saw the tapes
from here, and (the crowd) was going
crazy — everyone liked it so much."
According to Dimino. however, it
is not an easy activity to hold — the
work involved can sometimes be
overwhelming. The most work comes
one week before school starts: band
camp (affectionately coined Hell
Week by some members).
"My first impression was band
camp and it was a lot of work." says
first-year student lacey Ahnquist.
"6:50 a.m. practice, lunch, practice,
dinner, practice until about I 1
p.m."
But that didn't take much away
from the en.semble for Ahnquist. who
says she joined the band because the
University was so big, and the band
makes it seem smaller.
Another reason the
band could be so good
is its percussion sec-
tion.
"I'm glad I'm not in
the drumline," Ahnquist jokes. "1
don't think they ever slept,"
About ten minutes before halftime,
go around to the back of the stadium
and watch the drumline warm-up in
their half-<ircle. You might just get a
chance to see them all drop and give
50 push-ups for messing up,
"It's a self discipline thing." says
Priscilla Mario, a senior in the front
ensemble, a section of the drumline,
"If we do something wrong we could
be doing right, we do push-ups to
remind us,"
The drumline's main goal seems to
be perfection, something the mem-
bers credit to their instructor,
Thomas P, Hannum,
Open any number of several music
magazines and you might see
Hannum's face, holding a Zildjian
cymbal, or promoting a Pearl snare
drum. He is renowned as one of the
best marching percussion instructors
in the country.
"Intense," says junior quad player,
lared Smith, describing Hannum.
"You respect Hannum becau.se you
know who he is."
Still, the members of the line keep
coming back for more, pushing
ground and then getting right back
up to practice — sometimes until the
eariy hours of the morning.
"I don't know," Smith laughs
about why he comes back every year.
"I was convinced I didn't want to
come back ... but I enjoy playing on
this level."
By the way, band members only get
two credits for this.
It is not quite clear what makes the
ensemble as a whole so good — the
horns, the drumline or the color
guard (the people with the flags), or
why it's out here in western Mass ...
but it is.
It's something every UMass stu-
dent and faculty has to see, (It would
be a waste to think of band as the
same thing we all saw at high school
football games,)
At Saturday's game, it sprinkled on
and off, but never quite down poured
like it threatened to. Not through the
first part of the game, halftime, or
-second half.
Not even during the post game
show the band plays after every foot-
ball game — a much better version
of halftime.
It wasn't until the last note of the
traditional "My Way" was played,
and the drumline started their
cadence, did the skies open up. For
some reason it had held out. just long
enough,

Beatles third on best-paid list
Forbes announces annual list of entertainers & their salaries
fty Rachel Bock
AsKxioled Press
NEW YORK (AP) - The Beatles are back on top ,,,
almost. They haven't cut a new record in 25 years and
they lost band member |ohn Lennon to an assassin in
1980. but the band now ranks as the nation's No. 5 best-
paid entertainer.
Only director Steven Spielberg and talk-show host
Oprah Winfrey surpassed the Beatles in Forbes maga-
zine's ninth annual ranking, released Sunday.
Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, the
remaining Beatles, will make an estimated $1 30 million in
1994 and 1995. the magazine says in its Sept. 25 issue. A
worldwide television deal should bring them about $75
million this year on top of album sales.
It's the Beatles first time on Forbes magazine Top 40
highest-paid entertainers list, a survey that combines
entertainers' two-year estimated gross earnings to get a
more accurate assessment of overall income.
For the second consecutive year, Spielberg reigns as the
highest -paid entertainer.
The 47-year-old director, who still is raking in the
dough from his box office megabit "furassic Park," will
make an estimated $285 million in 1994-95.
But Spielberg's earnings may slow down a bit in the
upcoming years. He recently gave up a lucrative profit-

Local artist's work responds to tragedy
By Kathie Scrizzi Oriscoll
Astociolad Prat*
EASTHAM. Mass. — Artist
Joseph Blackburn's most cherished
paintings come straight from his
heart — the view of the Iwo |ima
flag-raising from his own memories
of being there; the guardian angel he
saw during battle, now given his
wife's face.
It was also an emotional response
that prompted his mosi recent oil. a
re-creation of the famous photograph
of a fire fighter cradling a baby
pulled from the day-care center
demolished by the bombing of the
federal building in Oklahoma City
last April.
"When I watched the news, this
picture kept popping up. When the
news was ending, they'd play very
sad music and this would keep pop-
ping up," he says. "Then I saw it on
the cover of a |news| magazine.
Finally. 1 said, 'I'd like to take a crack
al this.'"
Blackburn sent his painting this
summer lo Oklahoma City, where a
volunteer with the city's Memorial
Task Force gratefully accepted it.
According lo a spokesman, ihe paini
ing has been stored for possible
inclusion in a future memorial or a
museum plannc-d to be built near Ihc
site of the former federal building.
Blackburn, a retired commercial
artist, also does original work and
perhaps is best known on the Cape
for painting scenes of the fly traps
used by the local mosquito-control
prugrtm. Besides the fire fighter.
however, Blackburn also has done
reprviduclions of religious works and
magazine covers.
Two such paintings — "The Good
Shepherd' and one of lesus sur-
rounded by children — hang in the
United Methodist Church in
Easiham One reproduction of a
National Geographic cover photo-
graph of a Kurdish woman hangs in
the Kurdish library at the Brooklyn
Museum in New York Blackburn's
re-creation of another National
Geographic cover on American
Indians was sent to a New Mexico
group for possible inclusion in a
museum it is overseeing.

Scotland is the home of ihe
Loch Ness ^lon^ler and many of
the fines! pop bands of the last
decade. Bands like ihe Pastels, the
Shop Assistants and the \'asclines
gave hope to many music fans
who feared that pop music died
the day Brian Wilson left the
Beach Boys. Unlike all the metal
bands of the last decade, these
bands were not out to rock the
world with testosterone-filled
noise. A simple la-di-da melody
was all they needed to get their
fans dancing.
In I9<*5. Ihe Scottish scene is
not nearly as vibrant. The Shop
Assistants vanished into obscurity.
the Vaselines splintered into
Eugenius. and the Pastels are
searching to recapture their late
SOs .sound. The most recognizable
band from the land of scotch
whiskey is now Teenage Fanclub. a
band inlluenced more by Big Star
than their Scottish forefathers.
Like any race car driver.
Teenage Fanclub has experienced
some breathtaking highs and some
depressing lows In 1991 they
were at the top of their sport as
they released BanJuiigonesque.
hailed by many as the best album
of the year, even ahead of
Nirvana's \e\erminJ The fol-
lowup. entitled Thirteen, crashed
like a racecar hitting the boards.
But like any courageous driver the
band has returned.
Unfortunately the band's come-
back is not an overwhelming suc-
cess as Grand I'rix lacks all the
brilliance of RurtJuagoneique.
which was filled with classic songs
such as "Star Sign" and "What
You Do For Me." The album is
pleasant sounding, but it has as
much of a lasting effect as that lec-
ture you slept through. Though it
is unmcmorable. it is a vast
improvement over their last
album.
Surely it is difficult for a race car
driver to begin their career at the
top of the world, because there is
little rc>oni for improvement. The
same is true for bands like Teenage
Fanclub.
Burtduagoriesque will forever
be remembered as their moment
of brilliance, while Cirand Prix
will be looked at as their
half-hearted comeback. Rock his-
torians will look back on the
Scottish rock scene and see
Teenage Fanclub as a mere fool-
note to the mighty bands who
came before them. C

other photos have, and Blackburn fell compelled to cap-
ture and preserve that moment.
"I don't think this should be forgotten. I didn't want to
let this go slipping by and let the same thing happen."
Blackburn says. "This (photo) summed it all up."
While Blackburn was satisfied with how he captured
the lender look on the fire fighter's face and was able to
add his ovvti touches of smoke and an aura of disaster to
the background, it was painting the baby itself that he
found the most difficult task.
"When I was painting. I kept finding myself painting
the sky. the fire fighter, over here, over here and slaying
awav from the habv." he savs. "When I pot to her... "
Blackburn pauses, and swallows hard. "I just gut all
choked up." Blackburn believes, however, that he had
help.
"I honestly believe, with a lot of paintings I've done,
that the Lord was right there beside me. If you just says.
'Do this.' I don't think I could . . but this (paintingj just
went boonga. bi.>onga, boonga and I went right through it:
it took maybe a couple of weeks. Somebody wanted me to
doit."
Sol all of his work is so serious. Blackburn has done
hundreds of cartoons, portraits and set pieces for shows
that his daughter. Cynthia Robciiham. has worked on in
Cape community theaters.

Thompson discusses a career on the rise
By Bob Thomas
Associated Press
LOS .ANGELLS — Lea Thompson is on quite a roll,
evidenced by ihe debut of her promising sitcom and her
key pari in an intense dramatic television movie — all in
the course of four days.
On Thursday. Sept. 21. Thompson's NBC series
"Caroline in the City" is set to debut. On Sunday, she
stars in the movie "The Unspoken Truth."
"Caroline in the City" has been deemtxl a likely success,
partly because it's an amusing sitcom but mostly because
it has fallen heir to the dream slot in all of television —
sandwiched between the highly rated "Seinfeld" and
"E.R."
"The Unspoken Truth" presents a far different Lea
Thompson from the lighthearted Caroline. As is often
claimed, the "NBC Sunday Night at the Movies" feature is
"based on a true story."
Brianne Rourke (Thompson! lives with her daughter
and brutish husband Clay (lames Marshall), who is prone
to violent rages. After a dispute outside a roadhouse. Clay
shex)ts a man. then browbeats Brianne into confessing she
pulled the trigger.
Alter both are sent to prison, Brianne's sister (Patricia
Kalember of "Friends") urges her to tell the truth. As part
of her campaign, the sister reveals a surprising family
secret.
"I look pretty harrowing, don't I"!*" the 54-year-old
Thompson said with a laugh during a phone interview
from Minnesota, where her husband. Howard Deutch. is
directing "Grumpier Old Men" with lack Lemmon.
Waller Matthau and Ann-Margrct.
"When I read the script of "The Unspoken Truth," I
thought, "Wow. this looks really hard.' Whenever things
look really hard. I get excited about doing them." she
said.
"This character has very little self-esteem. She does
things that are really stupid, and it was a challenge to find
reasons that she did them oul of misguided loyally. It was
a challenge to find the dignity in this character and the
strength, even if it seemed that she was weak."
Thompson said her real-life counterpart suffered even
more outraged than are depicted in the movie. She con-
templated meeting the woman, but the director, Peter
Werner, dissuaded her.
"He said we should create someone new, without trying
to copy who the person was and how she looks," she said.
"Thai's the freedom you gel when people don't really
know the person. If you were playing someone like. say.
Lady Bird lohnson. and everyone knows who she is, then
you have to copy them exactly."
"Caroline in the City" is 'the other side of the coin."
Thompson said, showcasing the lighter touch movie-goer^
have seen in such films as "Some Kind of Wonderful."
"Dennis the Menace," "The Beverly Hillbillies" and the
"Back to the Future" trilogy.
The show casts Thompson as a successful cartoonist
whose personal life supplies material for her comic strip.
Her involvements include the head of a greeting card
company (Eric Lutes), the company's gofer (Andy Lauer)
and her new colorist (Malcolm Gets).
"I thought I'd hale it, but I actually love the idea of
doing a character week in, week oul," she said. 'I've had
wonderful opportunities to do different kinds of charac-
ters in my career. I thought doing the same character over
and over again would be boring. This project is far from
boring."
The series had its origins in a TV movie she did three
years ago with Farrah Fawcett called "The Substitute
Wife." It was her first network outing, and it attracted the
eye of NBC Entertainment President Warren Litllcfield.
He suggested scouting a series for her. After a year's
development, "Caroline in the City" was bom.
The show is played before a live audience and four
cameras, but Thompson is no stranger to performing
before real people.
In her hometown of Minneapolis, she started out as a
dancer, appearing in more than 45 ballets. She movcxl to
New York to do theater and continues appearing on the
stage when her film schedule — and the responsibility for
her two daughters, Madeline, 4 1/2, and Zocy. 8 months
— permits.
If the magic lime slot on Thursday works its wonders.
Thompson could be facing a lung run with "Caroline in
the City."

Women's XC opens with win
By Laigh ToHain
Collegian Staff
The names and faces have changed, but the end result
remained the same, as the Massachusetts women's cross
country team opened their 1995 campaign with yet anoth
er comfortable victory.
The Minutewomen traveled to Thetf'ord. Vt. on
Saturday where they took a five way meet, with 35
points, leaving New Hampshire (55l, Boston University
(72). Brown (74) and Maine (107) in their collective
wake.
Missing Atlantic 10 Runner of the Year Melissa
Langevin. sophomore Rebecca Donaghue stepped up and
led the charge for the Minutewomen.
Donaghue. a member of the 1994 All-Conference team,
finished in second place in 1916. trailing only Brown's
Kristin Williams who ran the very muddv 5 1 mile course
in 19 10.
Donaghue was second or third for the Minutewomen in
every race last year. She will have to continue her hard
women s soccer
running if Langevin is forced to redshirt due to her
injuries. Langevin's redshirt is expected by many.
Senior |en Waeger of Marlboro and sophomore Cristy
Murlin of Leicester, also picked up some slack with
impressive fourth and seventh place finishes. Waeger fin-
ished in 19:35. while Martin crossed the finish line in
19:56.2. just a fraction of a second behind UNH's Therese
Gesel.
Katie Creenia ran her first cross country race in nearly
a year for UMass afier redshirting last year with a knee
ailment, and finished solidly in ninth in 2006. Greenia
was consistently second to Langevin her freshman year
and will be looked upon to spur the team to several victo-
ries.
Kristin Donaldson rounded out the top five for the
Minutewomen placing thirteenth overall in 20:25.
The .Minutewomen will next race Saturday morning at
1 1 a.m. when they will face Connecticut and Maine in a
iri- meet in Orono. UMass expects UConn to pose a seri-
ous threat as the Huskies return from last year a strong
team.

"Obviously, we're not happy
with the way things went offensive-
ly." said UMass head coach Mike

do."
One flaw that stood out — the
Minuiemen could not punch it into
the end zone.
"We can sil there and point fin-
gers and blame someone else, but
we have no one else to blame but
ourselves." f-lodgcs said.
Eric Oke missed three field goals

account for was the one score.
Ouarterback Viti> Campanile
was harassed all afternoon by the
incoming Richmond defense, espe-
cially in the second half While the
offensive line was shaky.
Campanile himself had a rough
lime throwing the ball. On one
drive with 4:28 left in the game, on
the Minutemen's own 33 yard line.
Campanile threw an incomplete
pass to a wide-open Darryl

for the punt.
"jVitoj hasn't played in a fiKH-

Richmond Spiders upset UMass

By Mike Brown

The reaction going around Warren
McGuirk Alumni Stadium Saturday
after the University of Massachusetts
football team lost to Richmond was
the same as the reaction to the
weather.
The first half was
comfortable and
warm, with light

through the clouds. The second half
was Kiiny and mi>erable.
The Minutemen tO-1) directly
rcllccied the weather as they failed to
punch the ball into the end zone sev-

up 21 unanswered points and drop-

UMa— started with the ball in the
fourth quarter On second down with
the ball placed on the UMass 10-yard
line. Spider linebacker Shawn Barber
plowed through the Minutemen
defensive line and crushed UMass
quarterback Vito Campanile. It
forced a fumble, which Richmond's
Eric Goode picked up and carried
into the end zone for a touchdown.
After the turnover, the bottom fell
out of the Minutemen game plan.
With 10:47 to go in the game.
Richmond had pos-
-ession of the ball on
third down at the
Minutemen 45- yarii
line. Gabrels stepped
back, ran to the side and proceeded
to race down the sideline beating all
UMass defenders for the score.
With UMass down by a pair ol
touchdowns and 4:28 remaining in
the game, the Minutemen passing
game was called upon — nobody
answered Campanile threw three
-traight incoinpletions followed by a
punt
On the next Richmond series of
downs. UMass linebacker Mike
Dawson nailed Rodgers. forcing him
to cough up the ball. Minutemen cor-
nerback Breon Parker recovered the
fumble, but to no avail.
UMa-s threw on first down and
Campanile's pass was incomplete.
The next down. Campanile was hit
for a 2 3 -yard loss which resulted in a
fumble recovered by Richmond's
la-monn Coleman, hence the nail in
the coffin.
Despite the lost cause, UMass
started the game on fire. The
Minutemen defense contained
Richmond on the first drive of the
game and tiKik po— e--ion.

show they are capable.
"We obvitiusly have to store more

thought we would have the capability
of doing that. I still believe we have
the capability of doing that. But what
I believe doesn't really matter until
you do it on the football field on

Series split by
field hockey
After suffering its worst loss in
recent memory, a 4-0 loss at
Maryland, the Massachusetts field
hockey team rebounded with a
3-2 win over American
University, as UMass' record
remains even at 2-2 for the year.
The Terrapins completely over-
whelmed the
Minutewomen in
the Friday night
game. They took
over early on as
Lynsey McVicker
scored on a penalty corner just
3:36 into the game.
Nadine Bennett would add two
more goals in the first half, while
Sara Salam added one in the sec-
ond to complete the pounding.
The four goal deficit equals the
worst defeat ever by a
Massachusetts
squad. Old
Dominion beat
UMass by the
same 4-0 score on
Sept 29. 1990
The Massachusetts offense, that
has struggled so far this season,
could only muster one shut
against goalie Alna Eliwatt.

The Eagles opened up the scor-

Kyle Rothen-

afternoon while ho-ting Richmond in
its first game of the -eason
The first half saw ten pas-
attempts, a rarity in recent years. The
Minutemen were even pas-ing on
first down, which ha- been almost
unheard of a- of late They had three
different running backs coming out
of the backfield. which is not uncom-

them was not junior Ron

They had four guys catching pass-
es. There were new face-, as a Matt

Minuieman defense Heck. Rene
Ingoglia even pa-sed on one play.

what UMass was going to do.
However, as the anticipation height-

Looking at Rachel LeDuc. all
covered with mud and grass stains
after Friday's 10 win over George
Washington, one
would think ii was
a champion-hip
match.
In fact, the la-i

final match. which the
Minutewomen won, 2-1, in a
rain-soaked thriller.
But in reality. Friday's match
was only the second contest of the
year for the Minutewomen (third
for G). and
UMass. ranked
No. 8. came away
with the
hard-fought victo-
ry
LeDuc played a huge part in the
deciding factor with her aggressive

play, continually slide tackling all
over the field, and her fourth goal
of the season.
"It was perfect weather to slide
tackle. I mean it was drizzling, so
when you have the opportunity ...
I took it." LeDuc -aid.
"It was like a championship
match, but that's the wav with G."
Massachusetts coach lim Rudy
said. "This was a championship
level match in terms of commit
ment. running, speed and fighting
power. This is what you see at the
end of the year. It felt just like
last year jinj the A lOs."
LeDuc scored the game win-
ner early on in the second half,
off a ciirner kick at the 54:40
mark, junior lulie Magid served a
beautiful ball high in the air that
LeDuc jumped up for and head-
ed down into the net for the
score. With the goal. LeDuc now
has all four Minutewomen goals
this year, and lead- the team with
six points.
"It was a great corner and I
just put my head on it." LeDuc
said.
Normally on Minutewomen
corners. Magid will look for the
tail target of Rebecca Myers, as
will opposing defenders. So
when Magid lofted the ball, the
G defenders were covering
Myers, thus allowing LeDuc to
head it in.
After its goal. UMass let up a
little and G almost capitalized
getting off numerous -hols on
UM goalkeeper Danielle Dion.
On one play, senior defender
Nikki Ahrenholz stopped a
potential score when she broke
up a pass from Chemar Smith to
jane Anderson and then one
timed the ball to the midfield.
"Nikki is a much better player
than people give credit lor. And
I'll give all the credit and that
was another one of those limes.
That iplayl was an individual
instance where she changed, pos-
sibly, the game." Rudy said.

The defending .\tlantic 10 Champion UMass men's soc-
cer team is clearly the biggest name on Fordham's sched-
ule.
Saturday at Richard F Garber Field, the Rams. 6-10 in
1994. upset the Minutemen. 2 1. and sent shixk-waves
throughout the \ 10 in the process.
UMass (2-11) played a solid game, but
were unable to overtake the Rams (3-0)
who notched the game winner with just
5:59 to play in regulation.
Fordham played a physical game and were called for 19
fouls in the match, while the sensational play of goalkeep-
er lames Gianiliiietti helped lead Fordham to victory.
"Losing a game like this is not a good thing." UMass
coach Sam Koch said. "My reaction is not a very happy
one. We didn't do the things we needed to do. We did not
play smart. We're a much better team than what we
showed."
Things were not right from the opening whistle for
UMass as leading scorer Dave Siljanovski went down,
holding hi- lefi knee, just 29 seconds into the contest.
Fortunately for UMass. Siljanovski remained in the game.
UMas- had an excellent scoring opportunity in the
eleventh minute as a throw in by freshman Paul Corcoran
was headed by both Mike Butler and Colin Johnson, but
Fordham defender Des O'Sullivan was able to deflect the
ball out.
Otherwise, much of the opening half was played on the
UMass side of the field as Fordham was able to sustain
pressure and keep UMass defenders on their heels.
Fordham was led by ft)rwards Sal Leanti and Robert
Zuclich, whom had a goal and an assist apiece. The
remainder on the Ram side paled in comparison
taleni wise, and from the opening whistle Fordham"s
inlenlion lo gel (he ball to their skilled forwards via
though bulls was evident.
As the Minutemen broke into their standard short-pass-
ing offense, they bunched more than usual, drawing their
midfielders into the cluster. This lefi ofien expansive gaps
in the UMass dclense for the Rams to exploit with a
long ball targeted for either the speedy Leanti or Zuclich.
Fordham broke through for the match's first goal, at
the 28:41 mark. Zuclich fed a pass to a streaking Leanti
who nicked the ball up and over a sliding UMass goal-
keeper Flic Gruber and into the goal.
Alier a flainbuyant celebration by Leanti, UMass played
the final 16 minutes of the half with renewed vigor. Yet,
the Minutemen could not solve the riddle of Grandinetti
who made some incredible saves as the half wore dowm.
Grandinetti made a pair of fantastic saves on Steve
Kine- and Scott Regina off of a 35-yard freekick in the
31st minute and a spectacular stop of a freekick with just
1 5 seconds remaining in the half
UMass opened the second half with the same pressure,
and scored their lone goal on the afternoon just 4:35 into
the half. A Butler cornerkick deflected off of Siljanovski
Massachusetts 1
Fordham
and went right to Regina who put the ball between
Grandinetti's legs. The goal was the first of freshman
Regina's UMass career.
With the tie. UMass still continued its attack as the
Minutemen peppered Grandinetti with shots, including an
18-yard rocket off the foot of Siljanovski in the 60th
minute.
It appeared that ihings would take an upswing for the
Minutemen after a freekick in the match's
63rd minute. After sliding to make a save
on the kick. Grandinetti was clipped in
the head by Johnson as he tried to avoid
the Fordham keeper. Dazed. Grandinetti
had to be helped off the field and left the game, replaced
by Mike McSpedon.
McSpedon was shaky on his initial touch, as he wob-
bled over the endline, giving the Minutemen a cornerkick.
UMass was unable to consistently challenge McSpedon
though.
Gruber was sharp in the UMass net. making an
astounding 67th minute save, from seven yards out, to
maintain the tie.
Inside the final seven minutes, Fordham was able to
maintain some fierce offensive pressure due to some fouls
and miscommunication amongst the Minuteman defend-
ers.
Zuclich was able to break the tie. just inside the 86th
minute, as he collected a Leanti pass on the goalline and
was able to squeeze a shot between Gruber and the near
post, from two yards out, securing a Ram victory.

Bosnian peace
talks resume
with new hope
By Barry Schweide
AsKXioted Presi

Motion gives Abu-Jamal a second chance
By Haman Rozemberg
Collegian Skiff
PHILADELPfllA. PA — One wouW
think that once an individual is scn-
terKed to the death penalty, they might
as well be taken for dead already.
This can never be farther from Ihe
truth than in the case of Wesley Cook,
better known as Mumia Abu-|amal.
an African-American journalist and
writer from Philadelphia.
Abu-lamal has been silting on
death row since he was convicted for
the murder in the first degree of
police officer Daniel Faulkner in
Philadelphia on December 9, 1981,
but this long-awaiting period has
surely not been a quiet one.
It took all but one week for the initial
trial to end, and as early as July 2, 1982,
Abu-jamal's life had been put in the
hands of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, judge Albert Sabo
p>rvsid(xl over the case then, as he still
does today. Sabo is known nation-v^e
as one of the Itarshest judicial servers,
having sentenced to death 32 people to
the current moment — all but two have
been people of color.
Abu-lamal granted a new opportunity
Yesterday Abu-|amal had another
chance, 14 years later, to present his
case before judge Sabo and the pub-
lic, ludgc Sabo granted each learn a
total of two hours to present their
cases. The jury was composed of
eight white individuals and one
african-american person.
The defense opened up the session
with a lengthy yet detailed descrip-
tion of why Abu-lamal, "a person
with soulful humanity' and 'dedicat-
ed to social justice,' as defense attor-
ney Daniel Williams put it. had been
denied fair judicial treatment and was
in need of a complete new trial.
The defense spent a long lime
retracing the steps of the original trial
in the summer of 1982. The jury, it
was argued, had not been given a fair
and accurate characterization of
Abu-lamal. The then court-appoinicxl
defense lawyer had not been preparc-d
for the trial due primarily to lack of
funding and lack of time. In top of
this, the prosecutor. Mr. McGill, had
the "zeal to win and use his powers ...
to advocate the death of a fictional
being,' Williams contended.
The second main issue tackled by
the defense regarded the role of the
witnesses. Defense attorney Jonathan
Piper argued that one key witness.
officer Wakshul, was never allowed
to give testimony in the original trial.
Other important witnesses, such as
Mr. Chobcrt, a cab driver, or Cynthia
Hundreds of protesters, including some UMass students and residents, part
African-American journalist and political activist, win his freedom from cieath
White, a prostitute, were said to have
been harassed by the police and
coerced into testifying on behalf of
the pru«ecuiion — allc*gedly. Chobcrt,
White, along with Mark Scanlan and
others, had seen Abu-jamal shoot
officer Faulkner in the face and then
saw the former running away.
Additionally, defense lawyer
Williams said, Abu-jamal's 'confes-
sion' of the crime was a piece of
"false, perjurious, dubious, bogus evi-
dence* and that in fact it was a mere
fabrication of the prosecution.
Moreover, Williams added "every
case is a test of the integrity of the
criminal justice system,' and thus
judge Sabo was challengcxi to step up
to the occasion and demonstrate that
the system in fact still worked.
Defense lawyer Rachel Wolkenslein
slated that the court had not helped
the defense team at all since the begin-
ning of Ihe trial. By slating that many
pieces of evidence were fabricated,
misconstrued or even destroyed by the
prosecution. Wolkenslein argued that
in lop of everything the judge himself
had not been too helpful.
For example, in pursuing the issue
of racial discrimination and injustice
against Abu-jamal, a request for the
release of over blX) pages of docu-
mentation from the Federal Bureau
of Investigation (FBI) was denied.
Thus, Wolkestein concluded, "the
level of misconduct is so great that
Mr. jamal should be granted a new
irial.-
The fourth defense lawyer,
Leonard Weinglass, cited the impor-
tance of the issue of race and racism
in the priKess of Abu-jamal's trial.
'Blacks are three to four times more
likely to receive the death penalty in
Pennsylvania,' he said.
The prosecution's argument was
cut and dry and was restrained to a
process of addressing and discredit-
ing the defense's statement.
Prosecutor Burns said thai the pre-
vious presentation had been "very
creative" but far from the evidence
as presented in previous proceed-
ings.
All witnesses put into question by
the defense were presented as the sole
carriers of truth, and thus the only
ones who could dictate the outcome
of the trial: they had all, in some way
Icipated in a rally hekj in Philadelphia
row.
or another, coincided in that il was
the defendant who had pulled the
trigger, taking the life of officer
Faulkner.
Bums disagreed with Ihe defense
in regards to Abu- lamal's first
lawyer. Anthony jackiun. laying
that the latter was qualified and
prepared, but that the defendant
"was personally in control" of the
trial. Allegations of police coercion
were denied or downplayed, and fur

Pennsylvania Governor Thomas
Ridge had signed a warrant fur
Abu-jamal's execution on June Land
il was to be carried out last August
1 7. However, due to an unprccedeni
cd show of support, the stale faced
tremendous pressure at both the
national and international level lo
hall the execution. This was finally
granted on August 7.
The forms of pressure exerted.
in order to help Mumia Abu-|arndl, an
ranged from civilian marches, protests
and demonstrations in support of
Abu- jamal, to perNonal requests for a
stay of execution and even for a new
trial from organizations such as
Amnesty International, Human Rights
Watch, trade unions, and even at the
governmental level, as in the requests
of the Congressional Black Caucus or
of the European PaHiamcnI.
'It is clear that the ireaimeni of
evidence and the application of jus-
tice in this instance have been at
best arbitrary and capricious,'
wrote Chaka Faiiah on behalf of
the Congressional Black Caucus.
"Even if Mumia Abu lamal were
guilty, we would deserve to have
more solid assurance of that before
we put him to death. If he is inno-
cent, lo pul him to death on the
basis of the evidence at hand is to
make of us the very murderers
against whom we seek relief."
Fattah added.
Once yesterday's session was
over, defense Attorney Leonard
Weinglass spoke of the need for a
retrial and promised that "Mumia
will testify."
Budget cuts could endanger student financial aid
By Allison Connolly
Collegian SloK
President Clinton announced via satellite to college
campuses across the nation yesterday that the republican
Congress does not have to 'cut education to balance the
budget."
Clinton's address came in response to the budget reso-
lution being pushed by his Republican opponents in
Congress which would cut $10.4 billion dollars from the
student financial aid program over the next seven years.
Republicans have targeted funding for student financial
aid programs in order to reduce federal spending.
U.S. Rep. John W. Olver (D- First District) was present
for the speech and led a discussion on the cuts following
the broadcast. He described the cuts as a 'deliberate
effort to eliminate programs that were adopted under this
president for obvious reasons..."
Clinton acknowledged that the threatened cuts are per-
sonal and the veiled claim lor a balanced budget is too
thin.
"In my lifetime, education has never been a partisan
issue." Clinton said. "Do not be fooled by the smoke-
screen of a balanced budget."
Clinton's Direct Student lA>an Program saves students
time and money by getting the aid to the students faster
and more efficiently.
"The direct loan program gets rid of red tape, bypasses
banks and middlemen, sends the student loan directly lo
the school, where the student gels il in a hurry." Clinton

said.
T>ie counter-proposals lo Clinton's dia'ct loan program
being considered by the authorizing and appropriations
committees will affect students by eliminating the grace
period for all borrowers and eliminating Ihe in-school
interest exemption for graduate and professional students.
They also might increase the origination fee paid by bor-
rowers and cancel the interest rate cut on the student
loans scheduled to take effect in July 1998.
"The Budget Resolution that was adopted earlier this
year makes it a gcxxl deal harder for our students to get an
education." Olver said.
Clinton raised national consciousness while pointing his
finger at adversaries, using rhetoric to remind foes that
they are ruining the "American Dream" of an education.
"Will your country meet the challenges of the 21 si
Century, or will we cut off our nose lo spile our face, by
cutting off our educational aid at a lime when we need to
invest more in it." Clinton said.
To thunderous applause, the President sympathized
with students who, under the old program, spent valuable
lime processing their loans, something many UMass stu-
dents may ea.sily relate to.
"This year ... 1 1,000 students got direct college loans."
Clinton said, "and they didn't have to spend so many
hours filling out forms or standing and waiting in line at
the Bursars office."
Clinton pointed out that in 1980. there was a gap of
36% between those who had jobs with a college degree
and those with a high school diploma. Today, that gap has
increased lo 74%. Clinton believes that there is clearly a
need for economic assistance to those who wish lo pursue
a college degree, who will in turn keep the economy stable
and increase income.
According to The Alliance to Save Student Aid.
one-half of all full-time students in public colleges need
federal student aid. Therefore, cuts in student loans would
decrease enrollment. Clinton said that more people going
to college means "better jobs, higher income and a
stronger America."
"There should never be a disincentive lo slay in school."
Clinton said.
Among Clinton's programs that are in danger of being
cut is the national service organization. Americorps.
Olver described this particular cut as "crib death for
national service."

Black Student Union Vice President Kola Olosunde, a junior biology
major, stands in the BSU office in the Student Union.
By Chris Conner
Collegion Stotf
The Black Student Union is entering a
nc-w era during which they hope to gain
more campus nxognition. according to
incoming N'ia'-Preskinil Kola Okxiunde.
Olosunde. a junior biology major,
said that the driving force behind the
BSU crusade for this school year is
the reinvention of the orgaiiization.
One of the primary means by which
the BSU is trying to spark interest
Irom the campus community is their
push to recruit first -year students.
Olosunde said that he and BSU
President Daniel Lizarui. who is also a
junior, realized the need to ensure the
stability of their organization for the
years to come.
"We're making a big time freshman
outreach." Olosunde said. "The BSU
isn't getting any younger."
Public outreach
Another goal for the BSU is the era-
sure of their re'putation as a "surrepti-
tious secre'l society." Olosunde said.
An idea geared toward improving
community relations is a proposed
BSU-Black Mass Communications
Project basketball game that would pit
the two major African- American stu-
dent organizations against each other.
At the event. Olosunde said, pam-
phlets and other information would
be made available as part of the pub-
lic outrea'.'h plan.
"Through that sort of social cli-
mate, we could foster more of a social
climate in our respective organiza-
tions." he said.
Olosunde credited the "National
State ol the Race" Conference last
November in Maryland with inspiring

Coordinator hopes Speaker's Bureau connects with students
By Wendy Darling
Collegian Staff
Unlike most people coming to a
new job. lennifer Fasulo knows
what to expect from her new posi-
tion, in this case as coordinator of
the Gay. Lesbian. Bisexual
Speaker's Bureau at the University
of Massachusetts.
"I feci really happy and excited
about the position because I've
been on the Speaker's Bureau for
the last two years." says Fasulo.
who is working on a Bachelor's
Degree with Individual
Concentration in "Creativity in
Political Education."
The Cil.B Speaker's Bureau was
founded ten years ago to txlucatc the
local community about gay. lesbian
and bisexual people. Coordinated
through the Stonewall Center, the
Bure-au is made up of a group of vol-
unteers — Cil.B and heterosexual
allies - who travel around campus
and the local area sharing their indi-
vidual experiences.
In a typical Speaker's Bureau, a
panel of three or four Bureau mem-
bers appears before a group. Each

about his or her life as a gay man.

joined two years ago in order to share"
her experiences
as a lesbian.
Speaking in
front ol group of
strangers is not
something Fasulo
finds easy, but it
is an action with
great personal
significance

Reaching those
in need
According to
Fasulo, many col-
lege students
come to the
University either
knowing they are gay. lesbian or
bisexual or questioning their sexual
orientation. For these students, hear-
ing the words of a Bureau member
may provide valuable information,
role models, and connections to the
local GLB community.
Fasulo also considers the Bureau to
be a primary tool for reaching hetero-
sexual students who may never have
met gay. lesbian or bisexual people or
who have questions about Cil.B
issues. She sees the Bureau working
to "break down some of the distance
between straight and queer students
and answer questions."
"1 think that despite the fact that
we have the | lesbian Bisexual Gay
Alliance] and the Stonewall Center,
there's still a real issue of invisibili-
" According to lasulo,
many college students
come to the University
either knowing they
are gay. lesbian or
bisexual or questioning
their sexual orienta-
tion, h'or these stu-
dents, hearing the
words of a Bureau
member may provide
valuable information,
role models and con-
nections to the local
GI.R communitw "
ty for gay students." says Fasulo.
"There becomes this ghettoization
of GLB people because it's not safe
to be out in the general campus
scene.
Story-telling helps to stop this
ghettoization. Fasulo says, noting
that the Bureau is
"not preaching
about issues or
talking in abstract
terms." but rather
presenting
first-person
accounts of gay.
lesbian and bisex-
ual life.
After the per-
sonal stories
have come to a
close. the
Bureau switches
to a question
and answer ses-
sion. Members
answer these
questions based
on their personal
experience and
try to avoid
speaking on
behalf of the
entire gay, les-
bian, bisexual
community, says Fasulo.
Students or local community
members who would like to join
the Speaker's Bureau are encour-
aged to contact the UMass
Stonewall Center, formerly the
Program for Gay. Lesbian, Bisexual
Concerns.
After attending a three -hour train-
ing session, new members are expect-
ed to attend monthly meetings and
schedule their Bureau appearances in
advance. The next member training
session is September 19, from 7:50
to 9 p.m. at the Stonewall Center.
Classroom instructors, resident
assistants, or community group lead-
ers who would like to have the
Bureau come and visit arc also asked
to contact the Stonewall Center.

In its first meeting last week the
BSU discussed several conferences
and speakers that may be of interest
in the coming year.

Justice came too late
On Thursday. Sept. 7. the decJMon became final As
ihc Boiion Olotf vkorded ii on the from page of
ihcir Frida> edition, "in a Lh».iked and barely audi-
ble \oiLe. Oregon Senator Bob Packwood faced the reality
of hi« impending expuMon and told his colleagues on the
Senate floor yesierdas that he would leave office after
having >erved for 26 vear^."
In attempting to formulate an intelligent response to
thi> long overdue decision, all I can bring myself to say is:
It IS about lime.
The \eu York Times reported that
the committee of Kentuckv
Republican Senator McConnell had
been investigating the Packwuod case
tor 'i'i months
For almost three years'* How about
ihree years too many
To be accused of any form of scxu-
.il harassment and sexual misconduct
deserves immediate, serious attention
and investigation.
Although the Senate Ethics
Committee recognized that this case
deserved attention, the investigation
wa-' lost somewhere during this three year pcriua \^
Ua'>hington rcinforcc-d its stertxiivpe of being corrupt and
crooked. 17 women, maybe more, wondered if justice
would ever be served
The Boiion Herald printed part of the testimony of Julie
\Villiamson. a woman who at one time worked in
Packwood's Oregon office. It read: "Senator Packwotvd
wdught me and I was trving to get awav and to kick him in
the shins. He stood on mv feet, grabbed my ponytail and
pulled my head back so he could kiss me."
\K'hen he was first confronted with testimony such as
ihis. Packwood weakly attempted to save himself by
making such renurks as "these were merely stolen kiss-
es '
The last time I checked, a "stolen kiss" was an innocent
display of affection which both parties involved agreed
To he accused of any
form of sexual harass-
ment and sexual mis-
conduct deserx'es imme

upon. But, Williamson's testimony clearly displayed that
she definitely was not a willing panicipant in Packwood'^
idea of fun and harmless play.
Is this any way for a senator to behave?
Granted these excerpts from his diaries were the former
senator's private words about his actions, but these pri-
vate thoughts, were far from the way a senator, it seems,
should behave.
The Boston Herald also published an .August, 1990
diary entry of Packwcxxl's. This entry involved one of his
staff workers. Packwood wrote, "she
docs well, but is happily married, and
as I've often said, happy housewives
don't change the world."
So. if this 'happy housewife" had
been single, thus accepting
Packwood's advances, she would
have, as Packwood put it "changed
the world''"
I don't think so.
It is difficult for me to comprehend
that this case took approximately
three vcars to arrive at some kind of
concrete decision Nevertheless. I fell
relieved lo nave iinally discovered that a representative of
the Lniied States Senate, a representative of America, and
of other citizens, behaved in such an unprofessioival man-
ner.
It isn't so ironic after all that Senator Packwood. during
his 27-year career, represented everyihing .America swore
it would never tolerate.
The doctor in "Forrest Gump" said it best when he told
Forrest that his back was "as crooked as a Politician*
For anyone w ho hasn't seen the movie for some reason,
the main character's back was so crooked he needed leg
braces to straighten it.
All the leg braces in the world would probably still
never be able to straighten the crooked world of
Washington.

The fate of the

without a voice
on Beacon Hill.
Over the last
few months
supporters of
Senate
President
William Bulger have lobbied the
UMass Board of Trustees to appoint
him as Michael Hooker's permanent
successor. Whether or not they will
appoint him is unclear at this point,
but the fact that the possibility is
being seriously considered under-
scores an important point. Despite
the best efforts of the last few UMass
Presidents, the University still lacks
high profile status that other state
universities, such as Berkeley or the
University of Michigan, enjoy with
the citizens and elected leaders of
their respective states.
Though this is true for a number
of reasons, the University itself is
pariially to blame for this problem,
in the search for the last three
Presidents, the Board of Trustees has
not emphasized political experience
and temperament as criteria for
selecting finalists for the position.
Instead the debate has centered
around picking someone with
world-class academic credentials,
which ihey believe arc important if
UMass hopes to maintain its strong
academic reputation. As a result,
they have picked academics who
have made virtually no impact on the
state legislature. Which comes as no
surprise considering that few acade-
mics manage to acquire the skills and
temperament necessary to survive
the rigors of Massachusetts politics
during their tenure as faculty or
administrators.
On the surface, it would seem that
Michael Hooker had rewritten this
story. After all, the University
received substantial increases in
funding from the state legislature
during his brief stay. But scores of
students, parents, faculty and alumni
who have lobbied aggressively for
UMass in recent years know that, if
anvlhing, our new found support on
Beacon Hill has happened in spite of
Michael Hooker, not because of him.
During his tenure he has consistently
antagonized legislators, many of
whom view him as arrogant and con-
descending. His attitude and Ph.D. in
philosophy have earned him the nick-
name "Philosopher King."
UMass is now the second most
expensive public University in the
country, and inaccessible to many
of the poor, working and middle
class families it is supposed to
serve. If the Board of Trustees is
genuinely concerned with revers-
ing this trend, they should keep in
mind that Massachusetts is the
"Big Leagues" when it comes to
state politics. If "world class" aca-
demic credentials are their No. 1
criteria then the next President
will be doomed to fail. To succeed
he will have to be the academic
equivalent of Bo lackson. capable
of competing in two distinctly dif-
ferent professions simultaneously.
Regardless of whether Bill Bulger
applies for the position, the Board of
Trustees should forego the list of tra-
ditional candidates, the professional
academic/administrators who will
use the position as a stepping stone
to advance their own careers. Instead
they should find someone firmly
committed to the mission of public
higher education, who also has the
political skills to make UMass a
world-class University that is acces-
sible to every citizen of
Massachusetts.

dent at the University of

Opinion/Editorial
Still trying to quit
Andrew
Trodden
1 returned to school this semester with a rather lofty
goal in mind, and no I don't mean getting a 4.0.
While a 4 0 sure would be nice. I have decided to set
that dream aside and first conquer my nasty smoking
habit
I told myself all summer long that I was going to quit
before school staned. Well that didn't happen and now
I'm a little angry with myself. So the time has arrivt-d to
break through the cloud of smoke and drop this habit for
good.
Quitting smoking, for anyone who has never tried this
shoe on. is no tiptoe through the tulips. There's always
someone else around who smokes and all it takes is one
whiff of Philip Morris' finest and you'll be begging for a
drag, if not a whole cigarette.
Then there's no longer the after dinner
cigarette, it has gone the way of the
dinosaur. Now we have the after dinner
nic fit. Oh! What a joyous ride this is.
Throughout the duration of a nic fit I
personally become about as fidgety as a six-year old
doing a stunning rendition of the pee pee dance. The
only difference here lies with the fact Ihat the dryness
of my shorts does not depend on how good at fidgeting
i am.
I find that the best way to get through a nic fit is by uti-
lizing one of man's simple inventions, a nice juicy piece of
gum. I figure if I pop a piece of gum in my mouth and
chew it until it reaches the consistency of cardboard then
I've just knocked at least an hour or two off of quitting
time.
I don't consider this a full-proof plan though, consider-
ing I usually end up caving in and going on a scavenger
hunt with one goal in mind, to find, and thoroughly
smoke a cigarette.
When that cigarette is all you're going to have for at
least the next few hours you make sure there's not a speck
of tobacco left on the end of Ihat extinguished nub. If
there is any left, well then hell, go ahead and re-light thai
baby. Come on. let's be honest here, we all know in a late
night nic fit we've dug through an ashtray looking for that
butt that ten hours ago we put out with a quarter inch of
pure happiness left.
Disgusting'' Yes. verv' much so.
Let's quickly take a look at some of the drawbacks to
smoking. There's lung cancer, heart disease, high blood
pressure, yellow teeth and the hole burned in your wallet
from buying a pack a day. Then there's the carbon
monoxide which, if I'm not mistaken, is one of the ingre-
dients in automobile exhaust.
So there you have it. next time vou're in dire need of a
cigarette just wrap your lips around the tailpipe of a car
and take a few deep breaths, that ought to take the edge
off a little
Now since we've bolstered the case for ihe negatives it
seems only fair that we give the benefits a shot to have
their say. Let's see there's... hmm... well, does anybodv
else hear those crickets'*
There are no benefits, case closed.
Now i know all you Marlboro smokers will say you can
get free stuff from Marlboro miles. Well, I haven't seen a
lung transplant or chemotherapy anywhere on that list of
goodies yet, which probably just means that your free
stuff has a good chance of outlasting you.
I know. I know, "hello kettle, this is pot.
you're black." Yes, I too have driven the
numerous miles of Mariboro country, and
what did it get me? Well... it sure did gel
me a nice watch, and a fine leather wallet,
but that's beside the point.
What smoking got me was lungs full of smoke, yellow
teeth, hair and clothes that reek of smoke, and a bank
account that has gone south for the winter. However. I
am quite cenain what time it is. yippee.
A friend of mine once said, "kissing someone who
smokes is like licking an ashtray." Yowzal I never quite
looked at it that way before, but to be thought of as a
human ashtray sure does put it in a different perspective
The thought of actually pressing my tongue to an ashtray
and licking it is quite revolting, to say the least. I'm gel-
ling a case of the willies just thinking about that horrific
act. Here's to my friend for pointing out that simile and
making it that much easier for me to think of reasons wh>
I should quit, other than the numerous health benefits of
course.
Smoking is an addiction, there is no doubt about that
It is unfortunately a very unhealthy addiction. I feel thai I
do not get any major benefits out of smoking and there-
fore it is really time to stop completely.
I have been trying my hand at quitting for about a
week now, with the occasional nic fit cave in, of course. I
have certainly made great progress compared to the
smokefest I had this summer. I would be willing to wager
that I no longer am a human ashtray. Unfortunately,
thanks to my quitting method. I am now the human gum-
ball machine, and yes I do know where I can pui that
quarter.

Anonymous heroes
Mark
McGrath
I've always dreamed of being a
hero, the one who scoops up a
child from the street just in time
to avoid the speeding van. I've always
wished I could be present when a
skater falls through thin ice, so that I
might be the one who jumps in and
saves the day. I've
always wanted to be
the home run hitter,
answering the cheers
of thousands of ador-
ing fans. You know,
like Mickey Mantle.
Mickey Mantle was a hero to a
whole generation of baseball fans. He
had it all, power, speed and charis-
ma. He was greatness personified,
and it was only through his tragic
story that I became aware of another
type of hero.
When Mickey became ill this past
summer, it was revealed that only a
liver transplant would save his life.
He was in such p>oor shape that it
was no longer functional. Before
long, a suitable donor was found
and Mickey received a new liver
and a new life. We all know that his
new life wasn't a long one, but it
had a shot and had his cancer not
spread, he could still be with us
right now.
Somewhere in that story was hid-
den a hero, and he wasn't a baseball
player, or maybe he was. The thing
alx)ut this hero is that we don't know
anything about him, save for the fact
thai his liver kept our traditional hero
alive and that his heart, lungs, pan-
creas and kidneys are keeping others
alive all over the country. Often for-
gotten in stories like Ihis arc the real
heroes, the ones who make extra life
possible. They give of themselves, lit-
erally, so that others can live through
iheir death. They are heroes in the
true meaning of the word.
Last March in Arkansas, a
1 5-year-old boy named Christopher
Colin was hit by a car and died short-
ly afterwards. His organs, though, are
still functional and keeping six other
people alive. That alone would make
Christopher a hero, but
his contribution was
more than that. Doctors
liansplanlcd his cornea
into the eye of a woman
who had been blind for
1 3 years. That woman regained her
sight and was able to see her children
grown for the first time, all of them
except Christopher, who by his death
had given his mother the precious gift
of sight.
There are 20,0(X) patients in this
country who are waiting desperately
for organs. The demand is so high
when compared to supply that only a
small percentage get the transplants
they need.
People have reservations about
donating organs because on the out-
side there doesn't seem to be any
reward. Since the National
Transplantation Act was passed in
1984. all buying and selling of organs
is completely illegal. An organ dona-
tion must be just that, a donation.
Otherwise, I have reason to believe
we as students would be single-kid-
neyed, having sold our other to pay
for our education.
The kidney, which was the first
organ to be transplanted with much
success is the only organ which may
be given by a live donor. This is
possible because the body, equipped
with a pair, only needs one to sur-
vive. In most cases when a live
donor is used, the recipient is a fam-
ily member in need of a good
match. I'd truly admire a live donor
who'd give a kidney to a complete
stranger, but wouldn't recommend
doing that.
To be a donor you must be between
the ages of six months and 65 years.
You must have died at the hospital
and from a cause not directly related
to the organ in question. If, when you
die. you have a signed organ donor
card on your person, the doctor may
have organs removed immediately
upon pronunciation of death.
Otherwise, the doctors must obtain
f)ermission from your immediate fam-
ily, which lends to take some time,
precious in a situation where dying
organs are concerned. That's why it's
important for you to have an organ
donor card. Every year in this country
countless organs arc wasted because
doctors can't lake necessary steps
quickly. In Europe, there is a princi-
ple called presumed consent. Only in
cases where the deceased has proof
of disapproval must the family be
asked for permission. This tends to
give doctors more time and more
organs to work with.
In the past few years, transplanta-
tion has made great strides. Hearts,
livers and kidneys arc transplanted
with a success rate of about 85 per-
cent each. Even so. there is still a
great demand and donors will always
be heroes.
A whole generation of baseball
fans had a hero in Mickey Mantle. As
his story unfolded. I realized how
confused much of society, myself
included was in our notion of heroes.
Being a hea> isn't a matter of chance
or destiny. It's a matter of choice,
and as was proven to us by an anony-
mous donor, it doesn't take a lot to
be one.

Debut from Liquorice is sweet, Unrest relives greatest hits & latest from Qarhage stinks

Indie rock heaven on a little shiny disc! Featuring
members of Tsunami, Ida and His Name Is Alive,
Liquorice is a mere side-project tor its busy members.
But you would never know as this disc has some of the
most well crafted, intricate and beautiful pop songs of
the year.
Several years ago lenny
Toomey and Dan Littleton
recorded together off and on and
named the band Slack, probably
after their laid back attitude.
Since then Toomey has gone on
to fame with her bands Tsunami
and Grenadine, while Littleton
has been keeping busy with his
own band. Ida.
Last year they reunited to
record as Liquorice with the
assistance of "Trey Many of His
Name Is .Alive on drums. Their sound is less raw than
their days as Slack, but they make up for it with stunning-
ly beautiful melodies that are so rare these days.
At times the band crosses into the easy listening genre,
which is not surprising if you have heard Littleton's work
with Ida. "Breaking the Ice." the only song that Littleton
sings lead vocals, would sound perfect on any Adult
Alternative radio station.
Toomey sings lead vocals on all the other songs and
unlike in Tsunami we can actually hear her voice. The
highlight of the album is the band's cover of Franklin
Bruno's "Keeping the Weekend Free" which features an
amazing duel between Toomey and Littleton.
Unfortunately. Liquorice is only a one lime side project
but this album sheds new light on the talent of two of
indie rock's most gifted performers. Let's hope Toomey
and Littleton decide to record again soon. A- (Mike

Should be RIP. since this posthumous "greatest hits"
collection is more of nostalgic
look back at Unrest's talent for
writing minimalistic. yet catchy
pop songs than anything else.
Although a collection like this
seems more like a nod to
ex-Unrest guitarist/singer Mark
Robinson's ego (now the leader
of Air Miami), B.P M more
than does its job in securing the
band's place in the annals of pop
history.
Most of the songs here have
already appeared somewhere
along the line in Unrest's history, but collected here for
the first time (and many of the tracks have been remixed)
the songs shine even brighter than before.
Hits such as "Cath Carroll" and "Imperial" have been
remixed beyond recognition, while other tracks such as
"lune" and "So So Sick" appear in either normal or
acoustic form But the real treat here is the bouncy.
'bOs-ish nuggets "When It All Comes Down." Bavarian
Mods" and "New Limdon!" that are so joyously infectious
that you can't help but wish that Robin.son and Co. head-
ed further in this direction.
Whether the band is actually worthy of this greatest hits
treatment or not is still up in the air. but HPM. is still
probably the finest release that Unrest has put out — all
hits, no extraneous garbage. A- (Matt Audette)

New books out this fall include novels by best-selling
author Sue Grafton, folk-singer |udy Collins, a posthu-
mous work by Albert Camus and even a sequel to Forrest
Oump
Sue Grafton's latest . /. Is For Lawless, stars dettxtive
Kjnsey Milhotic. Kinsey begins what's supposed ta be an
easy week and then turns into a chilling adventure with
Km.sey trapped with an ex-con. a desperate pregnant
woman, a pistol-packing psychopath and a baseball bat
wielding octogenarian! As usual, Kinsey survives using
her wit. cunning and courage.
Grafton has authored 12 books in the Kinsey Milhone
series and has sold over 14.5 million books in the U.S.
alone. She plans on writing inore books in the series until
she reaches the letter 'Z' which, according to her publish-
er will lake until the year 201 5.
On lanuarv' 4. 19bO. Albert Camus, the great French
novelist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, was
killed in a tragic automobile accident. Discovered in the
wreckage at the lime was a handwritten manuscript ihat
Camus intended to turn into his own version of War And
Peace. Following Camus' death, his family withheld publi-
cation, fearing harsh criticism from Camus's enemies.
Thirty-four years later, ihe book was finally published in
France under the title. The First Man. to extraordinary
acclaim and the novel soki over 500,000 copies. The book
is now published in the U.S. by Camus' longtime publish-
er. Alfrc-d A. Knof, and in 27 other countries around the
world.
Booklist calls the publishing of The First Man. "A gen-
uine literary event, 'fhe distinctive rhythm of Camus' lan-
guage is here, as is his deep understanding of life. It pro-
vides a beautiful IcslamenI to the human capacity lo learn
and lo rejoice in life in spite of the circumstances of one's
birth."

Alpcrovitz. who spent five years investigating the incident.
President Harry S. Truman was fully aware that lapan was

Other information revealed in the book includes an
all-out effort by several top Navy officials (most probably
including .Secretary of the Navy lames V. Forrcstal) to end
the war without using the bomb. Also, the book demon-
strates in detail that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not
targeted because of their military or industrial important,
but rather to make a huge psychological impact by
destroying large number of civilians. Alperovilz puts holes
in the traditional story told over the last five decades thai

Cockamamie rejects any notion of sounding like
grunge, punk, pseudi>-"80s or any other new form of
catchy pop. Instead, this album pushes beyond all
those traps into a realm of new and undiscovered
boundaries.
Trynin has been around for a while, at 51 she Isn't
a rookie in the music world. But this is her debut
major label album, so like many debut solo albums.
It IS deep and vividly real. At times influences of joni
Mitchell can be heard, while at other titties an energy
and sweetness that rivals local rockers Letters to
Cleo.
Trynin's way looks for refreshment and liberation.
She adds a new slice to not only the alternative rock
scene, but to all the new intriguing female solo artists.
Sometimes there's nothing better than just sitting
down and listening to a sensitive and warm woman
belt her blues away. This album is filled with deep feel-
ings based on personal experience.
"Better than Nothing." was the widely successful
summer single that propelled Trynin into the main-
stream's attention. The song's simplicity is the arche-
type that Trynin uses to bring her rock to the fore-
front.
Distorted guitar chords puts the passion into the
fire. Slinging the songs through with hard-edged gui-
tar eftectively cross-cuts the pain and emotion felt
with every delicate verse. Pouring out of this cross .sec-
tion is a true spirited lively display of music. An
impressive release. B-f (RobStevenst

Words & Pictures Museum preserves
comic book art, fantasy illustrations
By S««n>a Gangatirkar
Collegian Staff
The Words & Pictures Museum of Fine Sequential Art
in Northampton is the only institution on the Fast Coast
dedicated solely to the preservation, interpretation and
presentation of contemporary comic book art and fantasy
illustration.
Located on 140 Main Street, the museum contains
every genre popular to sequential art from the 'TOs to the
present. Sequential art weaves words and pictures into a
unified story. A predecessor to movies and videos,
sequential art first appeared on the walls of caves and
medieval paintings, daily newspapers, comic books and
graphic novels. All artwork in the museum is original and
are on permanent loan Irom the over 7.U)0 piece -collec-
tion of Kevin Fastinan. co-creator ol the Teenage Mutant
\inja Turtles.
The museum's exterior is interesting in itself. Purvhased
in August ol I'M J. the facade now leatures ten windows
adorned by gargoyle like guardians and silhouetted images
of popular comic book characters. Perching atop the
building is an 8 foot gargoyle lyet to be named ), a sen
tinel of the building.
Inside, the highly popular walk through lime
entrance hall features two new additions: a Mayan hall-
way and the Binh of American Comics. A full capacity
elevator whisks visitors to a dillercnt world on each
level of the museum. The second lloor. themed as a
back alleyway and city facade is perfect for children to
create their own works of art or to enioy a book from
the library.
The top floor of the Museum displavs presentations
from the permanent collection which numbers over
10.000 pieces. The diversity ol the Mun-uni ciilleition can
best be seen on this floor Satirical underground comic
strips hang alongside works by the legendarv greats,
including Kirby and Sevcrin as well as conteinporarv
lavorites like Miller. Sienkiewic/ and Pratt This unique
collection ol art is displayed in a setting straight Irom the
age of innocence
Visiting the museum can be an interactive expcri
ence. Founded in 1 492 by Fastinan. visitors can
become comic KK)k artists themselves or sample the
latest comic books and graphic novels In a promotion
al brochure for the museum. F.astman says. "What the
comics medium has given me. through the success of
the Teenage Mutant Sin/a Turtles, is the opi^irtunily
to open the Words and Piciures Museum to help the
rest of the world understand and respett the art (orin I
have loved all my life."

New Wave star to sing jazz in NoHo
By Mike Burke
Collegian Staff
Fiitircn years ago LVkirah Harn, and her band Hlondic
were one of the most rK.)piilar "allernalive" bands ol the
day. With hits like "The Tide Is High" and "Heart of
Glass" Blondie were at the head of the new wave revolu-
tion.
Over the past year there has been a revival in new
wave and not surprisingly there has been a resurgc in
Blondie's popularity, lust this paM summer, Deborah
Harry released an album of new roM!l\c^ of previously
released songs
Tonight at the Iron Horse Musie Hall. Harry will shat«
the stage with the lazz Passengers, a band led by Roy
Nathanson and Curtis I'owlkcs. Fonned in iW7. the )azz
Passengers have risen from being an obscure ensemble
performing at the Knitting Factory in New York to being
an internationally known band.
Nineteen ninety-one saw the release of iheir best
received work was Deep In A Dream Of You. Nathanson
discussed the work saying. "It was a really satisfying pro-
duction. It was sort of the culmination of thai monologu-
ing-with-music thing we had been doing, and it really got
me thinking about incorporating more of this perfor-
mance stuff into the Passengers lsound|."
Tonight's performance should be filled with interest-
ing performances, mixing bits of theater with jazz
music.
Their most recent album la:: Passengers In Love fea-
tures an all star cast including guest vocalists such as
Freddy lohnston and leff Buckley. Last |une. the jazz
Passengers shared the stage with both Elvis Costello and
Deborah Harry. Although Costello won't be in attendance
tonight, the show should be an enjoyable mix between
Harry's new wave greatness and the jazz Passengers cut-
ting edge stage performance.
Deborah Harry and the la:: Passengers perform al the
Iron Horse Music Hall tonight for two shows al 7 and 10
p.m. Call the club at 584-06 10 for more details.

"CPW" looks at the Big Apple
By Frozier Moore
Asiocioted Prejs
NEW ^ORK — Behold "Central Park West." starring
Mariel Hemingway, which premiea's Wednesday on CBS.
Here, finally, is a television series that gets New York
right. Manhattanitcs, anyway.
After all. every -ingle one of us. as "CPW" demon-
strates, is gainlully employed in publishing, law or on
Wall Street. We are butf. beautiful and mostly under ^5.
We always, always wear black.
And when we're trying to seduce somebody else's mate,
we might be heard to purr. "God. I love this city! It makes
you feel anything can happen, anytime, anywhere ... with
anyone."
You bet your Zagat's Guide!
It's not a moitient loo s«.'on for viewers to know the truth
about New York City, which increasingly is the capital of
prime lime, lust a couple of yean. ago. 1 3 network dramas
and sitcoms were set here. This fall, no fewer than 1 ^ brand-
new Big Apple series join a dozen returnees including "Mad
About You." "Seinfeld." "Friends" and "NYPD Blue."
Of cour>e. most shows laying claim to New York roots
establish their New York-ness with an exterior shot of
some local building, only to retire to a Hollywood sound-
stage from where the rest of the show unfolds.
This season there are four welcome exceptions to this
masquerade. Shows filmed entirely in New York include
"law & Order." "New York Undercover" and. premiering
later this month, the Mary Tyler Moore newspaper drama
"New York News."
But most notable is 'Central Park West." airing at 9
p.m. EDT. Created by Darren Star, it should do for this
metropolis what his "Melrose Place" did for apartment liv-

Pigtail popstars are hack again
By Wayken Shaw
Collegion StaH
Sure to put a little sunshine on
the most stubborn fit of depres-
sion. Letters to Cleo bring their
brand of bubblegum pop to Pearl
Street in Northampton tomorrow
night.
While most are only familiar
with the Meln.)se Place soundtrack
as the band's claim to fame, letters
to Cleo have developed a fervid fol-
lowing in Boston lor some time
since their most recent incarnation
in 1^)90.
Started in 1988 under the
moniker Rebecca I ula. things
evolved when guitarist Greg
McKcnna asked his cousin Kay
Hanley to sing backup. As
Hanley's promise became evident,
she quickly took over as lead
vocalist. The band was subse-
quently rounded out with
Michael Eisetistein (guitar). Scott
Riebling (bass) and Stacy Jones
(drums).
Once their name was adopted
(from Hanley's childhood penpal)
the band has had a nosebleed rise
to popularity. First signed to
Boston-based CherryDisc Records,
the band released Aurora Gory
.Mice in '95. only to be re-issued by
Giant Records. It was the inclusion
of the song "Here and Now" on the
Melrose Place soundtrack though
that drove the band to national
attention.
Now with their sophomore
album. Wholesale Meats and Fish
just released. Letters to Cleo are
out to dispel any talk of being a
one-hit wonder. From the sound
of things, the band shouldn't
worry.
Letters to Cleo and Big Dish play
Pearl Street in Northampton

Designer documentary hardly fashionable
By Laura Stock
Coliegion Staff
UNZIPPED
Directed by Douglas Keeve
with Isooc Mizrahi, Linda Evongelista,
Naomi Campbell
Playing at Acodemy of Music
Eskimo-inspired faux fur and
supermodels galore traipse down the
runway in Douglas Keeve's
not-so-Ldndid documentary about
fashion mogul Isaac Mizrahi.
L'nzipped was supposed to be a
close look into the colorful life of one
of today's top lashion designers. In
actuality, this documentary was
about as vibrant as the black and
white film ii was recorded on.
The moNic chronicles the year-long
development and production of
Mizrahi's l'»45 line, beginning with
the designer trudging down a snowy
New York Citv alley, reading the hor-
rible a'views his I9')4 show had just
received. A depressing tone is set for
what is supp>oscd to be a 'hilarious*
movie.
Mizrahi's challenge is not unique.
He. like every other artist in the
business, is trying to bring an origi-
nal, critic- pleasing and stylish cre-
ation 10 the runway. The fashion
industry is ruthless, and the stress
upon Mizrahi to succeed is about
the only strong mes.sage portrayed in
this movie
Mizrahi could be the most exciting
man alive for all we know, but it is

up to director Keeve to show us by
carefully selecting what gets cut and
what gets printed out of the 565-
days worth of footage. That is the
essence of a documentary — putting
a cohesive story together out of raw
nothing.
Keeve utterly fails in putting
together a flowing plot. One
minute Mizrahi is discussing his
childhood with his mother, and the
next he is signing with Eartha Kin.
We hear incessant ranting about
inspirations for his designs, which
mainly take the form of old movies,
such as Sanook of the Sorih.
When Mizrahi himself tells stories
about how much he loves Mary
Tyler Moore or fur pants he ii
funny, but he talks at such a rapid
pace in his Stuart Smalley-csquc
voice it is hard to discern the
humor.
A sprinkling of famous, and beau-
tiful, faces keep things interesting,
but opinions of supermodels may
change after viewing them
L'nzipped. A strange sequence
where Keeve uses color with Kate
Moss in a purple sweater shows her
as extremely moody and mean.
Cindy Crawford frets over her
makeup and Naomi Campbell is
more worried about removing her
belly button-ring than the thou-
sands of dollars she makes per
show.
Linda Evangelista (and these
models are not acting) has a f>erson-
ality that would drive you out of the
theater if the movie didn't do it
already. She whines, she complains,
she wants special treatment. You
want to smack the ever transform-
ing-tresscd supermodel across her
million dollar face.
For a documentary about
Mizrahi. the man and the designer,
we learn nothing personal about
him. nor anything intrinsic to his
trade. L'nzipped is just a ranibling
story lull of useless details that, no
matter how you dress them up. are
not fashionable, funny or entertain-
ing. D

Let others tar New York as filthy
and sinister, as the city that never
sleeps — and looks it.
Darren Star's Manhattan has no
bad neighborhoods or random vio-
lence or homelessness. Rather, it's a
party where the revelers bring their
own; the sins they commit against
each other. No need to beware of
strangers. Here, the danger is betray-
al by your closest intimates. That,
and not looking fabulous.
Who couldn't love such a city, or
the man who served it up to viewers?
"I have a real passion for New
't'ork. and that's where this show
started from." says Star, whose name,
good looks and justunder-l he-wire
age of 54 could qualify him as one of
his own ca'alions.
"Up to now. TV' shows have looked
at New ^ork City through the lens of
crime and grit." he says, "not as the
most vibrant, archilcviurally beautiful
cil\ in the woHd. We wanted to cap-
ture some ol that beauty ... The chal-
lenge 1 set for myself was to do a show
that look place" — he pauses meaning-
fully — "in Nc-w York."
And after that. Darren? lust add

"I gotta say. I wish it was that simple."
Never accuse a Star-created scries

who is married to a cut-down-in-his-

Communique's bad-girl columnist

Stephanie.
That's just for starters.
Along the way. "CPW" docs

the town they help depict.

Honors) plays the mother who. for
some reason the film makes only
obscure references to. cannot have a
baby. She and her husband decide to
adopt a little girl so they can have a
family lo fill their dream house with.
This little girl, named |anie (the best
actress in the film), comes to them
with a world full of problems the
young parents are not equipped to
handle.
janie's parents, played by Darryl
Hannah and Keith Carradine. are of
the serial killer sort, resembling
Natural Born Killers' Mickey and
Mallory Knox, except not nearly as
frightening. Sure they burglarize then
photograph their murder victims, and
c.xfHJse their child to some horrible
stuff, but to a desensitized audience,
their crimes are not graphic enough
to be convincing — and neither is the
acting.
The notions are all disturbing, but
not frightening in the least. Director
Strick (Cape fear) really disap-
points as he softens the blows that
could have punched up this movie
enough to make audiences care, or
perhaps gel scared for this little girl.
F.very event is predictable, right
down to the all too convenient end-
ing.
The Tie thai Hinds is a boring
attempt at suspense, a weak try at
horror and a bland effort at learjerk-
ing. The murder, kidnapping and
child abuse have all been done
before, and it is safe to say you have
seen this movie before. D-

UM Students join in the cause of Abu-Jamal
By Heman Rozemberg
Collegian Staff
Student activism and involvement
in campus and oil- campus politics is
something that the University of
Massachusetts became well known
lor during the bOs and ^Os.
One such student advocacy group,
the Students for a Democratic
Society, e.xperienced a split and
branched off into several different
organizations. One of these was the
Progressive Student Network, which
in 1979 became known as ihc
Radical Student Union (RSU).
It was the Radical Student Union
that decided last Thursday evening,
during the weekly meeting, that the
group's support (or social justice had
to be taken off campus. The decision
was then made to send a delegation to
Philadelphia to participate in on-going
protests against the death sentence of
Black journalist, writer and political
activist Mumia Abu-|amal.
The attention that this case has
drawn to the struggle for social
equality and racial Iret-dom has com-
pelled the RSU to focus its current
efforts on helping Abu-lamal's cause,
said RSU member Kenneth Miller.
"Political power through unity."
said Miller, is what the RSU is seek
ing. and "the bigger we are, the more
I power) we are going to have." he
added.
The delegation consisted of Miller,
Lenchner. Gould. Cullen
Nawalkowsky (RSU member from
Hampshire College). Phil Copland
(RSU supporter) and leanine Maland
(Graduate Fmployee Organization
member and long-time Abu-|amal
supporler).
cuts
One of the reasons for this partici-
pation, according to Miller, is that
"Mumia's case has brought out many
important issues of the criminal jus-
tice system" that must be reconsid-
ered if this system contends to
remain fair and equal to all.
"All the oppressive factors are con-
nected." adds Nawalkowsky, saying
that "from the FBI, to city officials, to
the police, to the judicial system,
everything is indicted." Abu-lamal's
trial has, in this manner, opened up
the cover which has hitheno hidden
this interrelation of political corrup-
tion. Nawalkowsky indicates.
Currently with a membership of 34
jxvple. the RSU is run democratically
and does not have a hierarchy in its
leadership. Lenchner said. Miller adds
that the group is "always struggling
with the process of demcxracy bccau.se
our needs are always changing."
Some key paths that the organi-
zation takes in order to empower
students are: staging demonstra
tions. protests, rallies, etc.; spon-
sorship of alternative media
sources; coalition building with
other student groups.
Amy Gould, current RSU member,
said that she joinc-d the group because
she "wanted to be involved in non-
mainstream fwlitics." Indeed, she left
her position as Student Senator in the
Student Government Association in
order to join the RSU ranks, for the
latter task "requires a lot more organi-
zational skills land) teaches you how
to function as a group."
By participating in protesting
against this corruption in
Abu-lamal's case. Miller contends,
the RSU is confronting corruption in
all cases at the same time.
University policy bans
lit candles from dorms
By Jacob W. Michaels
Collegian Staff
[>Arww>N SMITH,<OtltCIAN
Leonard I. Weinglass, one of the defence attorneys for Mumia
Abu-jamal, talks at a press conference about the motion for retrial outside
Philadelphia's Criminal justice Center which opened for the first time yes-
terday
Although devised to help ensure
student safety, a revised
University policy could have some
students up in arms.
Lit candles and ineense are now
prohibited in the residence halls,
including for religious reasons.
Michael Gilbert, the acting
director of housing services, said
the changes were made to "deal
with some health and safely
issues, and to insure students'
properly is as safe as possible."
He added that therx: were three or
four serious fires in residence halls
last year due to unsupervised flames.
According to Barbara Pitoniak.
a spokesperson for the Univereiiy.
"• lot of research went into the
policy, including surveying other
schools. A number ol other insti-
tutions prohibit lit cai Jles.*
The policy beeome> controver-
sial because various groups,
including lews. Catholics and
Native Americans among others,
may want to use lit candles as part
of a religious or cultural ceremo-
ny.
"We do understand there are a
number of religious orders and
groups that observe different
practices with candles." said
Gilbert. "We knew some students
may see this as an abridgement of
their rights, but we sec safety as
primary."
Ciilbcrt added that the issue ol
prohibiting lit candles for religious
issues was discussed extensivclv
while determining the new ivstric
tions but that they decided they
should not be allowed.
He said three or four fires last
year were blamed on candles lit
for religious reasons. "We're often
told that." he continued.
"Whether it is true or not "
Francis Lavelle. the director of
the Newman Center, said he
agreed with the new policy.
'I think (lighting candlesj is
dangerous." he continued. "N'ears
ago. it was not unusual for
Catholic churches to have racks of
votive candles. It has all but disap
peared now, because insurance
companies that carry our liability
put their foot down . . in a dormi
lory you have lo be conscious and
sensitive lo the other people living
there and the danger jlil candles|
can cause."
Giltx-rt also added that Mousing
was very open to feedhwick on tfie
new policy. "The policy >.hanges
occurred late in Spring semester,
so I do expect students will want
to discuss these items with us "
He said students would gel a
chance to discuss the new policies
in front of the Residential
.Advisory Commitlivs that will be
fomied within several weeks
"We're open lo a lull and lair
discussion about it." (iilbert
added.

for being "Clinton's poster child" and unaccessible to students. He claimed
that he had never seen any advertisement to apply. However, information on
the program is available on campus.
Student Trustee to the Student Government Association Dan Rivera said
that the new system is excellent.
"The cynicism is unfortunate because the information is out there."
Rivera pointed out that Congress allocated more money to the Pentagon
than was requested and thought it unfair that they were now trying to cut
funding for education.
"We need reality checking for people voting for the cuts," Olvcr said.
Olver encouraged students across the country lo write to their congressmen.
""The votes need to be changed." Olver said. "Only constituents can drive
the wav thev vote."
continued from page I
"It's clear — very clear — what the Bosnian Serbs have to do lo turn this
process around and turn it towards jxrace." Bums said. "They have got to com-
ply with the very strongly felt desires of the international community that the
terrorism that they have infiicted upon Sarajevo stop."
The bombing followed a Serb a>cket attack on Sarajevo's main downtown
market. It aims at forcing the withdrawal ol Serb heavy weapons to at least 1 2
1/2 miles beyond the Bosnian capital while weakening Serb anti-aircraft and
other military capability.
The sustained NATO bombardment, however, has put pressure on Russian
President Boris Yeltsin from his pcilitical opponents. Parliament urged him
over the weekend to consider ending Russia's cooperation with NATO and lo
lift U.N. sanctions against Serbia unilaterally.

Asiociated Press
NEW YORK — What happens
after the result of the NBA players'
decertification vote is announced
could turn on who wins and by how
much.
Votes in the election to determine
whether the Player's Association will
be disbanded were to be counted
publicly bv National Labor Relations
Board officials this afternoon.
Both the union leadership and the
group backing decertification, led by
Michael lordan and Patrick Ewing.
were confident of victory.
The losers are likely to challenge
the election results, erecting legal
roadblocks that could delay the open-
ing of training camp to Oct. 6 and
drag on past Nov. 5. when the season
is scheduled to start.
In balloting on Aug. 50 and Sept.
7, players cast their votes in large
numbers, the heavy turnout believed
to benefit the union. A vote for
retaining the union also is considered
a vot, for a proposed labor agree-
ment, mc many players said they cast
reluctantly. If the union wins the
election, 2 1 of the league's 27 player
representatives must still formally
ratify the new deal Wednesday at a
tneeting in Chicago.
On Monday, Jeffrey Kessler. the
lawyer representing lordan, Ewing
and other players in the decertifica-
tion drive, sent a letter to union chief
Simon Gourdine. saying his group is
concerned Wednesday's meeting and
possible vote "will be another rush to
judgment that tries to avoid, instead
of respect, the wishes of a majority ol
players."
"This would break the promise the
union made ... that all players would
get a chance to vote on any proposed
deal," Kessler wrote.
Gourdine said the union's constitu-
tion provided for a ratification vote
only by the player reps.
"We do not consider this at all to
be a rush to judgment." he said. "The
proposed collective bargaining agree-
ment has been in the hands of the
players since shortly after Aug 8. We
think there has been ample opportu-
nity for all of the players to have full
and frank discussion of all of the
terms of the proposed agreement."
The margin of the victory could
well determine how the player reps
vole. In lune. they killed a proposed
agreement by tabling a vole.
However, union leaders have said
they expect the deal to be ratified this
titne. That would clear the way for
team owners to approve the agree-
ment at a scheduled Sept. 18 meeting
and lift the lockout begun |uly 1.
"Our expectation is if the union
has a clear victory in ihe voting next
week, we will ask the owners to rality
it and end the lockout," NBA deputy
commissioner Russ Granik said. "The
fact that challenges may be pending
is something we'll have to take a look
at."
After casting his vote last week,
lordan didn't seem inclined to contin-
ue his fight for dissolving the union if
the players vote against it.
'If (decertification) doesn't carry,
then the players have spoken their
minds, and that's all I ask," lordan
said. "If the majority of players
choose to accept this deal. I'm with
them. I'm with the majority — as
long as two years down the road they
can live with the repercussions of
what this deal is going to give them."
lordan and Fwing have been the
most vocal proponents of decertifica-
tion, arguing that players can get a
more favorable labor agreement by
dissolving the union and pursuing an
antitrust lawsuit against the league.
Despite Jordan's conciliatory
words, one agent says Kessler and
other agents are certain to dispute
the election results il decertification
fails. Keith Glass, who represents
I 5 current NBA players, resigned
last week Irom the agents' group
pushing for decertification, saying
he was fed up with the propaganda
coming from all three sides in the
dispute.
"I don't think the group I just
resigned from will go quietly into the
night." Gla.ss said. "They're going to
do anything they can to overturn the
vote."
If the union gels thrown out. it or
the NBA will probably challenge the

tigation. The NLRB is already prob-
ing the league's unfair labor prac-
tice complaint against the agents'
group.
Sacramento All-Star Mitch

the league used the threat of a long

Green Bay squeek by Chicago Bears
By Rick Gano
AsMxicitad Pms
In other games. Minnesota was at
Seattle (10:05 p.m. start), Chicago
was al California (10:05 p.m.) and
Atlanta and Colorado were lied at 4,
after 1 1 innings (as of press time).
CHICAGO — The Gn-en Bay Packers' first half was an
offensive masterpiece. Short passes, medium ones and a
99-yarder from Brett Favre to Robert Brooks that built
leads of 2 1-0 and 24 7
The stx-ond half, however, was a great escape.
The Chicago Bears, using a key interception and a
blocked punt, not only got back in the game — they
threatened to win it.
"Your heart is beating, you're worried, you're scared.
But, geez, we held on." Favre said afier the Packers sur-
vived for a 27-24 victory Monday night. "We did a lot of
things They came back strong. We knew that 21-0 was
not going to hold il."
Green Bay's defense came to the rescue. The Bears.
trailing 27-21. were at the 2-yard line and ready to take
the lead but were forced to kick a field goal. Then with
two minutes lefi. Reggie White forced a fumble by Bears
quarterback Enk Kramer and Wayne Simmons recovered
to save the victory.
"Il was very difficult and very rewarding at the same
time." said Packen coach Mike Holmga-n. "> have "never
seen so many bad things happen in such a short lime."
Green Bay. which won both games with the Bears last
season by a combined 75-9 score, appeared on the way to
another lopsided victory.
But a fourth-quarter intea'cption by Donnell Woolford.
who'd been burned on the 99-yarder. and a bliKked punt
by Anthony Marshall, giving the Bears the ball al the
2-yard line, put Chicago in position to win.
After the Packers twice stopped Rashaan Salaam from
the 2-yard line. Kramer lofted a pass in the comer to leff
Graham, who caught the ball out of bounds.
"It was a real intense moment." While said. "We knew
they would give Rashaan the ball and we made the plays
to stop them."
Kevin Butler's 20-yard field goal then made' it
27-24 with jusi more than nine minutes remain-
ing.
Favre was ready to put the game away. He hit Mark
Chmura for a 20-yarder and connectc-d on a 1 5-yarder to
Edgar Bennett Dorsey I.evens then carried 21 yards to
the Bears' 12. But Green Bay couldn't get in the end zone
and this time a lumblc-d snap on a field goal attempt gave
the Bears another chance.
But White sacked Kramer and forced a fumble and
Simmons recoverc-d at the Bears' 22 and the Packers ran
out the clock, sending Chicago ( II > to its eighth straight
Monday night loss — five al home.
"I wasn't worried that we didn'l gel any points." Favre
said. "We kept the ball for a while, got it out of our end.
and Reggie makes his play and we win."
The Bears got close in the second half when |im
Flanigan. a defensive tackle whose father played line-
backer for the Packers from 1967-70, caught a 2-yard
touchdown pass from Kramer in the closing seconds of
the third quarter to make il 2714.
Favre, who was intercenied three limes last wotk,
threw his llii of'lje nigW 'MxifWrtI sfefitihi-'il* froHPif
Brooks and returned 15 yards to the Packers 8-yard Uft:.
From there. Salaam rammi*d into the end zone to pull the
Bearsto 27-21 with 1 1:57 logo.
Green Bay .scored on its first two possessions behind
Favre's passing. Bennett's running and the play of Brooks
to lake a 1 4 0 lead.
On the third possession, just when il appeared Chicago
had the Packers pinned deep, they jolted the Bears with
the eighth 99-yard touchdown pass in NFL history and
first since last season when San Diego's Stan Humphries
conncx-ied with Tony Martin.
The play came with 10:08 remaining in the first half
and made it 21-0.

and intensity. He told us how he
loved those kids. He said how impor-
tant the win was for his players. He
commended his player's efforts, he
praised the opposition. He shared his
feelings.
"See you gotta' understand ... foot-
ball, to me, is more than what you
just saw on the field," Reid said in a
softer voice. "I know every one of
their classes, I know every one of
their mothers and fathers, their sis
ters and brothers. And they have a
problem, they come to me, and I
want that. We're reaching out. and
trying to make sure they reach their
potential socially, academically as
men. as well as football players.
"You set. when you lose, you hun. Not
because you put all thai time in. thai's
our job. but because you hurt for ihem.
When you win. you're pumped up. Noi
because ... ah |expletive|. they'll fire me
in two years, and everybody will forget
about me down there. But ... I'm happy
for them. 1 saw them fall down during
preseason, getting hurt, and I'm thinking,
"hey, I'm not so sure if this is working '
Sow a^k me. They'll be able to lake that
lesson for the rest of iheir lives.'
I approached him after the inter-
view, and introduced myself. He
grabbed my head with both of his
hands, and kissed me on the cheek,
saying that he loved guys who went
to UMass. I walked out of there, and
a writer for another newspaper said
with a laugh, "Not many people can
say they've been kissed by jim Reid."
But I wasn't surprised. I mean. I
didn't expect a kiss from the man.
But the passion he has for the kids he
coaches, for the game of football as
he knows it, is something that is not
exclusive to a mere sport or a partic-
ular person. And. despite meeting
him just once and talking to him only
twice, there was a lasting impression
made on me by one |im Reid.

continued from page 20
• Anyone who saw how horri-
bly LA third baseman Mike
Busch. a fomter replacement play-
er, has been treated by Brelt
Buller and the rest of the
Dodgers, had to be happy to see
that Busch has hit two homers in
his last two games. Sunday, his
pinch-hit dinger tied a game
against Pittsburgh.
You have to wonder how long a
club battling for a post- season
spot can continue to harass a play-
er who is contribut-
ing to their success.
• Speaking of the
Dodgers/Rockies,
how "bout the fact
that neither Kevin
Tapani or Bret
Saberhagcn has done
anything lo help their
new teams win.
• The Yankees
have already said
they will try to lower
payroll next year.
This almost dePmitely
means ditching ihc Chicken Man,
Wade Boggs and Tony Fernandez
in favor of youngsters Rum Davis
and Derek jcler.
However, if the Yankees say
goodbye to first baseman Don
Mallingly, it should be by
Mattingly's choice. Donny
Baseball is the last great Yankee,
and as much as New England
baseball fans may hate him. he has
personified class throughout his
career. For owner George
Sieinbrennar to simply drop the
Yankee captain would be a dis-
grace, ycl typical of him.
Tim Wakefield
• How bout the Mcts? After
ditching over price has-beens
Bobby Bonilla and Saberhagcn,
and going with a team of young-
sters, baseball at Shea is fun
again. With a future pitching stall
of Bill Pulsipher, lason
Isringhausen and highly touted
prospect Paul Wilson, the Mcts
will soon be the better New York
team.
• The Minnesota Twins contin-
ue lo be the worst team in either
league. Maybe if
Kirby Puckell can
play shortstop and
second base every
day. as well as third,
catcher, and pilch,
loo. ihey might stand
a chance next year.
• Wondering why
fans of the NFL'>
4')ers are starting lo
cheer even harder for
the San Francisco
Giants'.' If ihc
Giants, currently five
and-a-half back in the NL wild
card race, can make the playoffs,
Deion Sanders will have to post-
pone his Dallas Cowboy debut a
little longer.
• The Atlanta Braves continue
lo roll in the NL East, and whik-
Ohio fans talk about an
All-Buckeye State World Scries
between the Reds and Indians, an
All- Indian series of Cleveland and
Atlanta seems more likely. Boy.
would those nickname protesters
have a ball with that one.

touchdown. Davis was just as much ol a factor in that
game because when they threw away from Deion. they
threw at Davis, and he was more than competent.
Kree safety Merton Hanks intercepted three passes
total in the two games played against Dallas during the
year and was a starting selection to the Pro B4.)wl.
Strong safety Tim McDonald has scored two touch-
downs on interceptions so tar this season. Sanders had
three TD"s total last season.
San Krancisco CiM Carmen Pcilicy summed up his
team's feelings on the loss of Sanders. "May you succeed
personally and may your team fail."
• Maybe all yuu ntvd is a change in scenery? The team for-
merly ljK>wTi as the Los Anp.'k.> Rams has risen fami the ashes
from the hanks o< the Mississippi aixj is ott to a 2-0 start.
Now I realize as many as eight other teams could open
the season that way. but for a team that hadn't won back
to back games since early in the N*il season, it's a pretty
good start. It should continue one more week as >hev face
the expansion Caailinu Panthers Surulay befoa' they take

After the first two weeks ol the regular season, the

Their merchandise sales would go up as well because
the nation's largest media would have lo buy all new

It not a change in city names, how aKiul <i change in

"I think they know what they have to do in order to
keep the team up." Koch said "I think they have lo face
the responsibility ol why they didn't play well and make
sure thi"y have sorted that out be-fore they step on the
field tomorrow "
There is much to be e.xpecied from the entire
learn after the effort put forth in their last perfor-
mance, but Koch is more concerned about getting
his team back lo basics and covering the whole
field.
"1 am looking for a better overall team performance,

UM looks to rebound vs. Siena
By Justin C. Smith
CollegiQn Staff
Roilicncc is ollcn a characteristic of a champion.
It the Massachusetts men's scKcer team (2-1-1)
would like to repeat as Atlantic 10 champions, it
must display its resiliency today at 7 p.m. at Szot
Park in Chicopee against Siena, as they try and
r^.-hound from Saturday's disappointing 2-1 loss to
Ford ham.
On the schedule, the opponent for today's match
says Siena, but Minuteman coach Sam Koch seems
to feel that the real advisarv will actually be UMass
itself.
'We're not even worried about them. We are
worried abiiul how we have to play.'" Koch said.
"We are not playing well and we have to refocus on
how we play well. Siena is not even a concern."
The Minutcnien. who are accustomed to a short
passing game with quick touches, were unusually
bunched together and were unable to cash in when
their oppc>nunilics caine to them.
Koch ollea'd what he would try to do in practice
in an attempt to return to UMass' winning ways.
'\S e are going to go back to one and two touches.
lu-i dkung the extras, making sure we are in good
suppi>rting position and tnaking sure we are switch-
ing the lield." Koch explained. "We must make sure
we arc taking good shots and making good shot
sekvtions."
Shots were in abundance against Fordham. but
jroals were hard to come by. The Minutemen ran
into a hot goaltender as well as not being able to
vonseri on a couple of occasions, and must turn
those scoring oppc>rtuniiies into goals at a higher
rate.
"Our objective is to create as many good chances
as we can in a game. We didn't do that on Saturday.
We must verbally cvmmunicate a lot better then we
did .ind make sure peiiple stay within their roles."
The team was visibly deflated at the loss to
Fi>rdhani. and must find it within themselves to not
let a loss hke that happen again.
"I know they are not happy with themselves and
they shouldn't be. Thes know the job that ihcy
didn't do and I'm sure they'll be ready." Koch said.
"I wouldn't want to be Siena tomorrow."
.■\s demoralising as a loss to a team that won just
six games a year ago could be. KiK.h feels his squad
is awiirc enough to know what needs to be different

The men's soccer team looks to rebound from Saturday's loss to fordfiam today against Siena.
"Andrc-w, a |im Reid calkxl from
the University ol Rkhnxjnd. Call him
hack and lc4l his secretary to get him
out of a meeting," said a fellow
Colleffdii wriicT as I enteaxl the otlice.
Get him out of a meeting'.' Tell
his secre-
tary to
leave what-
ever he is
doing, and
get him to
talk to me, Andrew Bryce, measly
ol' college newspaper writer'.'
Never before, in my three-plus
years writing for the paper have I
ever been told by a coach to get
him out of a meeting.
Then again, I've rarely dealt
with a coach like |im Reid.
I didn't know much about Reid.
I knew the basics — he was a
coach of the Massachusetts foot-
ball team (or 19 years, the head
coach from 198b to 1991. He quit
the Minuteman coaching post
after learning that the scholar-
ships he had promised players had
been cut out of the budget.
I al.s<.) learned that excrybudy loved
him. simply bccau.sc of the fact that
evvrvtxxly llkixi to talk about him. Fri>ni
the woman who works in an office on
campus, lo fonncr students, to those in
the alhk-lic dcpanmeni. |im Reid canK-
up in conversation after kaming that he
and his Richmond Spiders were coming
lo town last Saturday.
I called him when I got a
chance, and got him right out of
that meeting he was in. Reid
answered the phone cheerfully,
and talked to me for a bit.
"Ask me anything. I'll give you
some snappy answers," Reid said.
And for the next 25 minutes.
lim Reid and I talked about his
past, his present and his future. I
didn't ask him questions, and try
to squeeze answers Irom him. He
didn't give generic answers just to
please a stinking media person.
I spoke with him. We had a talk. I
may as well have bc-en at a coffee
shop, talking to a friend I had known
for years. It wasn't a usual phone
intervit"w, where thea- can be a sctisc
of unca.siness. .Not with jim Rc-id.
If I could. I Would write out the
entire discussion we had. Because
when I got off the phone, the
other sportswriters in the office
saw mc. They saw the smile on my
face. They also heard me try to
explain how pleasing it was to talk
to a man like lim Reid.
He made me feel like I was
something special He didn't seem
to talk down tc> me. like other
coaches have done in the past. He
was sfx'aking as if he was actually
interested in what I was talking
ab>.)ut. I didn't feel I had any stu-
pid questions because it wasn't
possible. Not with |im Reid.
The phone conversation ended
when Reid wanted to meet me. He
told ine to come after his private
practice on Friday, or, if I could,
to meet him at the hotel the team
stayed at. The team was having
dinner, and he asked me if I want-
ed to meet him there.
I didn't go. but I did see him
after his team's 21-7 upset win
over UMass. He was pumping his
fist and jumping around. And as
the reporters faced him after the
game. |im Reid spoke He fought
the tears as he spuke about how

Water polo beats

V-ball gains respect at tourney

Collegian Staff

The Massachusetts water polo
loam extended its record to 6-1
this weekend at the Cambridge
Invitational. The Minutemen went
2-0. posting victories over
Richmond and lohn Hopkins in the
event which was co-hosted by
Harvard and M.I.T.
.After struggling against
Richmond in its first game of the
Invitational. Massachusetts was
able to come away with a lb- 1 4
win civer the Spiders. Luis l.imardo
led the way in scoring for the
Minutemen with six goals and tha-e
assists.
Led by six more goals from
l.imardo. the Minutemen were at
their best in their decisive 26-6
defeat of lohn Hopkins, which
pleased UMass coach Russ
Varworth.
"At the lohn Hopkins game, we
finally came out and played how we
are capable ol playing, and really
dominated the game." 'tarworth
said
Despite starting off the season
with a strong record. Yarworth
feels his team is still in the defining
process.
"We really haxen't clicked yet.
That is a little bit ol a function of
having a new group this year."
Yarworth said. "It is the first time
in a couple years that we had to
change our tactics and it's taking a
little while to gel it together."
Yarworth has startcxl a different
line-up every game in an attempt
to find an identity and a cohesive
combination.
According to l.imardo. one of
the major differences in this year's
team is their ability to score.
"I think we arc a better team
than last year. Last year, only two
or three people could score goals."
limardo said. "This year, there are
a lot of people who can score and
play both offense and defense."
With the loss of Javier Gonzalez,
the Minutemen are looking for a
spread-out offense, that will also
incorporate some talented fresh-
men.
In addition to leadership, senior
captain lohn Luviano has been an
offensive contributor with nine
goals and 1 1 assists. Freshman
Brian Stahl has stepped up for the
Minutemen along with Gabriel
Marrero. two top recruits who are
showing signs of promise.

The Massachusetts volleyball team
took their show on the road this week-
end competing in the Santa Barbara
Tournament in Santa Barbara. Calif.
They returned with mixed results
gc)ing I -'5 on the trip, but have iiKia-
experience to show for it.
In the first west coast match.
UMass coach Bonnie Kenny's squad
disposed of the University of Toledo
in three games 15-6, 17-5. and
15-10. The win improved UMass'
record to 4-0 while the Rockets fell
to 2-5. This was the squads only win.
as they returned to Amherst with a
1-5 record for the tournament. 4-5
on the season.
The second match saw UMass post
its first loss of the season, losing to No.
14 nationally ranked and host UCal
Santa Barbara, in four games 10-15.
15-11. 155 and 1 5-8. Rivera was on
fire with 27 kills, the second-highest
single match total in the four-year his-
tory of the UCSB tournament.
"We were in every game, never
really out of the match despite play-
ing in front of a tough home crowd."
Kenny said.
In the third match. the
Minutewomen fell to nationally
ranked Utah in three games 15-11.
15-b and 15 11. Rivera led UMass
with 15 kills while sophomore outside
hitter Lesley Nolan tallied a team-high
1 1 digs in addition to nine kills.
"We played very Hat, not prepared
lo play and totally unemoticmal,"
Kenny said.
In the final match of the tourna-
ment. UMass fell to San lose Slate in
a live-game battle with scores of
14-16. 17-15. 9-15. 15-5 and
15-17.
"On paper wv killed them. The
effort was there and the match could
have gone either way." Kenny .said.
Once again. Rivera led the squad
with 21 kills and 19 digs finishing the
tournament with 75 kills, the third
highest total in the UCSB
Toumament history, thus eaming her
a spot on the All-Tc>umament Team.
"When your playing in a tourna-
ment where people have never heard
of UMass. it's incredible that you can
get someone on an All-Tournament
team. I don'l think there's anybody
out there that wouldn't want her on
iheir team." Kenny said.
Sophomore middle blocker
Michelle Paciorek led UMass defen-
sively with a school record of 12
blocks for the match, and lied her
personal best of 1 2 kills.
"This is the first time Michelle
played against this type of high caliber
team. I think she has really turned a
comer faun last year and was a great
force at the net," Kenny said.

Dodgers, Rockies still battling for first
The baseball season is winding
down, and for the first time in base-
ball history, a majority of teams in
each league are still
thinking post-sea
son.
There arc only
about 20 games left,
and with the new-
wild card system in
place, most teams
still have a shot at a playoff berth.
The only legitimate battle for a
division crown still going on is in the
National league West, where neither
the Dodgers or Rockies can pull
away. The Angels post All -Star break
slide has made the AL West interest-
ing, hut the majority of baseball
excitement during the cool
September days will come from the
wild card races.
• In the American League, the
Yankees, whose hired gun David
Cone IS looking unbeatable, and
Seattle, wilh their powerful lineup,
stTin lo be the fronlrunners. Kansas
City and Texas, right at .5tX), are still
in it. hut diin't look to have enough.
• In the National League, the
favorite is the runner-up in the N'l,
West, with Houston and a healthy
|e(T Bagwell also in the hunt.
• Speaking of the wild card, I must
menlKin liow ridiculous it is that if
the Yankees make the post season.

they would play slumping California
in the first round. Division champion
Boston, on the other hand, would

and the best
record

base
ball.
ebaW
Excuse me, but
shouldn't there be a
reward for the team that
actually won the division,
not the other way
around?
• Despite the fact that
the Red Sox ran into a brick wall in
the Bronx last weekend, they arc still
right on track in the AL i;asi and will
be going to the playoffs for the first
time since 1 990.
The big debate seems lo be who
the Sox should start in the playoff s.
Manager Kevin Kennedy has said he
will go with a three man rotation, at
least in the first a)und.
I. Roger Clemens, back in the
form that made him a three-lime Cy
Young award winner, gets this vote
for Game One. Clemens, both physi-
cally and mentally, is the Sox' ace.
He has also been the only consistent
winner on the staff over the last
month.
Roger Clemens
2. lim Wakefield, whose knuckle
ball is probably the biggest reason
the Sox have run away with the divi-
sion, is unbeatable when he has con-
trol of his knuckler. If not. as we
have seen over his last few starts, he
gets rocked.
Wakefield can still be a
very positive contributor to
the staff, and. unless Ciame
Two is in the dead air of
the Kingdome. should get
the nod. However.
Kennedy has to learn not
to stick with him too long.
Boston's bullpen is deep,
especially if lefty starter
Rheal Cormier winds up
there for the playoffs, and should be
used before the Sox get in too much
of a hole.
3. Eric Hanson, thus far a
I 5-game winner, is next. The righly

Deion Sanders shows no loyalty
The ink is dry and now the saying, "Everything's big
in Texas" includes Deion Sanders' paycheck, not to
mention his ego.
Sanders' comment during press day before the Super
Bowl was "Deion Sanders is doing things this year thai
. he won't be doing next
Justin Smith
year. Deion is playing
for $1 million dollars
this year, and that can't
support my lifestyle,
and Deion's lifestyle is
noi going to change."
Now he has a five-year. $50 million dollar contract,
including a $1 5 million dollar signing bonus to support
his lifestyle.
Deion's prime job was lo neutralize either Alvin
Harper or Michael Irvin when the Niners met Dallas in
the Conlcrence Championship game. Now in the 'D' of
Big D. he will be one-on-one with the best receiver
ever to step on a NFL gridiron, lerry Rice.
Dallas owner lerry lones usually gets what he wants.
He said he would sign Sanders. He restructured his
team's piayroll around gelling him. Now he has him.
Anyone outside the city of Dallas hopefully now real-
izes that Deion is so full of himselL that you truly can't
aKil for him and America's team.
Loyally in modern sports today usually doesn't out-
weigh one's checkbook, but more than the money is
the fact that Deion can say he is the main reason for
each o( his team's successes. His ego could balU)on
even more by being able to boa.st he was guarding the
Golden dale when the Niners dethroned the Cowbovs
and when he went to Dallas, the Cowboys were able to
ride into the sunset once again.
Deion isn't above it.
lones and Sanders is a match made in Hades, as
Dallas should be headed to Sun Devil Stadium in
January. The only question surrounding Prime Time is
how long will he remain in the baseball city where he
abandoned his former football team'.'
On paper, they are the team with the most talent
and should be favoreil over San Francisco, and the rest
of the league, lo win their filth Lombardi Trophy. But
what will the ramifications be'.'
His break the bank salary will hurt in resigning other
members of this team, and could ultimalelv be the
demise of the Cowboys, just as the Herschel Walker
deal was the reason for the rejuvenation of Dallas.
Russell Maryland was "asked" lo restructure his deal
in order lo accommodate the addition of Sanders and
Maryland was not obliging. Don't expect to see
Maryland in Texas next season.
lerry Rice was not a happy man after his game
Sunday as everyone asked abi)ul the superstar who has
jumped ship. The mild-mannered superstar exploded
upon being asked what the loss of Deion does to his
team.
The outraged Rice pointed lo the rest of the sec-
ondary, saying ihey don't gel the credit they deserve.
He has a very good point.

Championship Game saw Fric Davis, not Sanders,

19-year-old to run
for Springfield mayor
By Robert Dunn
Collegion Staff
iNSMUM-COtlJClAN
Hey you...
|en Flaherty, a junior Spanish major, rpt ruits students to sign a petition for the State to stop financial aid cuts.
Hvery political campaign has its
dark horse candidate, but what
makes the one in the Springfield
mayor's race unusual is that she only
became eligible lo vole last year.
Nineteen-year-old Chelan Jenkins
has thrown her hat in the ring lo
become the next mayor of Springfield
in the hope to unseat current mayor.
Robert Markel.
Jenkins is a lifelong Springfield a-s
idem who attended Commerce High
School, but received her GED
through the Springfield Urban
League.
Kecause of her age. lenkins has
found herself the target of some
ageism during the campaign.
■"jPoliticiansj will say. She has no
political experience, or she's nine-
teen, she doesn't know how lo run a
campaign '.'she said.
She feels that her lack of formal
political experience is an advantage
rather than a hinderancc.
~l definitely think it's an advan-
tage." said lenkins. "One reason peo-
ple have voter apathy and don't vote
now is because of the current sys-
tem "
Political procedure
lenkins' first step on the road to
City Hall was to actually get onto the
ballot, a relatively simple process,
according to the Springfield Election
Commission.
All that is needed is lo fill out the
necessary nomination paperwork and
then o collect at least 51X) certified
signatures.
After Ihe signatures are collected
and certified by the election commis-
sion, the candidate is ufficially on the
ballot
Once on the ballot, the candidate
needs money lo run any serious cam-
paign, an area in which lenkins is
troubled.
lenkins said thai the money that
she has raised so far has t>een from
private donations, but that amount is
the least so far of the five candidates
running.
According lo the Massachusetts
Campaign and hinance Office, as of
August list lenkins' campaign has
raised only $1,397. while Mayor
Markel's rc-elccliun campaign has
raised $44,381
lenkins quickly dismissed any
notion thai her campaign is designed
to just draw publicity or spotlight a
particular issue.
"We fully intend to win," she said.
Inspired lo run
lenkins' main inspiration to run for
mayor came after the Ben Schoolfield
killing in Springfield.
"Rcnjamin's death was probably
my greatest inspiration lo run.*
lenkins said.
According to lenkins. Schoolfield
was shot by a Springfield police offi-

Women's shelter needs support
Volunteers needed to help continue its many vital services
By AintM Schwartz
Collegian Staff
Women's shelters across the country are a vital source
of survival for women who suffer from domestic violence,
but shelters rely heavily on volunteers for their survival.
The Womanshelter Companeras is no exception.
The staff of Womanshelter Companeras is looking for
voluniccrs.
"We provide a safe shelter for women who are fleeing
abusive situations." said fidie lennings-Wigfall. the volun-
teer coordinator for the shelter.
Volunteers and inlerns are needed to do many jobs.
Some of which include helping to organize special events,
researching new resources for ihe shelter and fundraising..
"In order to provide quality services lo the communities
that we serve, we nec-d volunteers. Volunteers make our
programs work and they also keep us connected with the
community. " lennings-Wigfall said.
Since the shelter's opening in 1980. the volunteer pro-
gram, the services provided by the staff and the shelter
have expanded. Originally, the volunteers and interns
answered the 24 hour emergency hotline, now they partic-
ipate in all the services offered. lennings-Wigfall said.
In addition to answering Ihe hotline, volunteers and
interns provide legal advocacy for women seeking restrain-
ing orders, advocate for women who need housing and
welfare, facilitate a weekly support group, help educate
teenagers in the Teen Dating Violence Awareness
Program, and participate in the Community Education
Program.
"Interns do more than volunteers." lennings-Wigfall
^ald. "They become unpaid staff people, do more of the
administrative work and work directly wilh the paid
staff-
Training for volunteers and interns begins September
22. "We have a very intense training program."
lennings-^Wigfall said. 'Ii begins Friday evening and ends
Sunday afternoon."
All volunteers and interns are educated about the roots
of battering and the myihs surrounding violence against
women. They are taught how to give clients and callers
the help and information they need. They also learn to
give emergency first aid.
Volunteers and interns who participate in the Teen
Dating Violence Awareness Program, the Community
[Education Program and the legal Emergency Assistance
Program receive further training.
lennings-Wigfall stressed the importance of having pos-
itive male role models. Male volunteers are welcome lo
help wilh the Teen Dating Violence Awareness Program,
the Community Education Program and wilh research
development. Men cannot participate in other volunteer
and intern opportunities, because women may not feel
comfortable dealing with a man while they are leaving an
abusive siiuaticm. she said.
Womanshelter Companeras has a confidential location.
Anyone interested in volunteering or interning can call
538- 97 1 7 and ask for the Volunteer Coordinator to set up
a meeting. Training sessions will take place in Holyoke.
"It is a very rewarding experience." lennings-Wigfall
said. "A woman is killed because of domestic violence
every 12 days in Massachusetts. When you are helping a
woman out at the shelter, you know you are saving a life.
Outdated computers cause trouble;
housing office addressing problem
By Chris Conner
Collegion Staff
Both ffuusing Services and the
Bursar's Office are still recovering
from last week's overspill of students
who had inadvertently been with-
drawn from housing.
According to Assistant Housing
Director Gerald Ouarles. 240 stu-
dents were displaced into either the
Campus Center Hotel, or dormitory
swing spaces or out-of-scrvice
rooms.
Paul Page, vice-chancellor for
Administration and Finance, attrib-
uted the error to the outdated com-
puter system currently being used by
the Bursar's and other connected
offices in the Whilmore
Administration Building.
The "batch" system, which can
take up to two days to process stu-
dent information, is also the primary
cause of the mishap from the per-
spective of University Controller and
IJireclor of Finance Michael
Sullivan.
"It's a 1970s system," he said.
"The system needs modernizing and
updating."
The old system
Sullivan said that after the simul-
taneous retirement of longtime bur-
sar Robert Mischol and assistant
bursar Kathcrine Fisk, there were
few left at the University, including
recently resigned Bursar Karen
Shelley who knew how to manipulate
the complex software as did the two
departing staff members.
"Bob (Mischol) retired. Bob had
grown up with the system," Sullivan
said. "And unfortunately, it was very
difficult for Karen jShelleyl"
Despite allegations that Shelley
had not deposited bill payments from
students on the Aug. 11 due date,
Sullivan said that the deposits were
not late.
"I Shelley I and I have
to sit down and look at
where she can he most
of use to me, " Sullivan
said of Shelley's new
position. . .
Shelley, who left her post on
August 31, has since taken on 'spe-
cial projects within the Financial
Services area," a press release said,
where she will work under Sullivan.
"jShcllcyl and I have to sit down
and look at where she can be most of
use to me," Sullivan said of Shelley's
new position, which he describes not
as a demotion, but as a 'lateral trans-
fer.'
According to Sullivan, Shelley,
who is un vacation through Monday,
neither handed in a letter of resigna-
tion, nor did she give a reason for
her desire to step down.
Shelley's former position is now
held by Assistant Bursar Gloria
Smigielski, who will act as Bursar
until the University hires a replace-
ment, a task that will hopefully be
completed by spiring, according lo the
press release.
To remedy the computer situation,
Sullivan suggested installing an
"on-line real-time" system in lieu of
the older one.
The system favored by Sullivan
would enable any data entered by
office employees lo be regislered
almost immediately, virtually ensur-
ing that student information would
be consistently updated.
Housing changes
Acting Housing Director Michael
Gilbert said his office is also looking
to bring in a new computer system,
and wilh it, a new outlook.
'I don't think we can over-rely on
other agencies to track our own
information," Gilbert said, referring
to the fact that the Bursar's office
computer is Ihe lead unit in the infor-
mation relay.
In the meanwhile, however,
Housing Services is must corKcmed
with the placement of the 240 stu-
dents, some of which have been
housed appropriately, and all of
whom should be accommodated rela-
tively soon. Gilbert said.
Gilbert said this year's total of 265
'no-show" students at the dormito-
ries should mean that several spaces
are available, and will be filled in the
next wtek.
News of Abu-Jamal is long-awaited
By Chris Conner
Collegion Staff
mi OIOOVANNI/COUICIAN
One ''mudslide" on the rocks, please
Construction workers on campus fielp fix pipes at UMass that need attention.
Following a major rally yesterday. Black students and
faculty at the University of Massachusetts reacted to the
possibility that an imprisoned Black journalist may receive
a retrial.
Controversy has been at Ihe center of the case of
Mumia Abu-lamal, the Philadelphia journalist who is
thought by many to have been wrongly accused of the
murder of police officer Daniel Faulkner on December 9,
1981.
Due lo his membership in the Black Panther Party in
the 1960s, and his outspoken writing, Abu-|amal is also
thought by many to have been framwl for the homicide,
which landed him on death row after an enigmatic trial.
Yesterday afternoon. Ihe defen.se for the convicted was
granted a motion for retrial.
Daniel Lizana. President of the Black Student Union,
first learned of the case as a high school student in
Springfield through a visitor to his school di.scussing the
strange circumstances, and has followed Abu-lamal's
plight since.
"It seems as though [the aulhoriticsj wanted lo show
him as an example,* Lizana said. 'That's why things look
so long to get rolling."
Lizana admitted he was surprised lo learn of yesterday's
events, but said he knew there would be some action
eventually.
"All the while, [the ca.sej was building momentum," he
said. 'That's religious support. Thai's commitment."
Afro-American Studies Professor Michael Thelwell said
that the case has even larger ramifications than just those
pertaining lo Abu-|amal.
"It's a victory for American justice.' he said. 'And for
the American judicial process which is faced with
well-deserved skepticism right now."
Lizana agreed wnth Thelwell, saying the alleged mistrial
which sent Abu-|amal to prison might become leas likely
in the future.
"When someone's on death row. that's usually pretty
much it." he said. "The precedent there was that
I Abu-lamal I was gone.'
However, the retrial is not even a certainty yet, and
even if the case is retried, Thelwell said that a few neces-
sary factors will have lo be in place for Abu-lamal lo have
a chance at freedom.
"We can't predict the outcome of the trial will be,* he
said. "But as long as the brother has due process, full and
adequate reoKscntalion, and is seen to receive a fair trial,
which was 9brly not the case the first lime, then it's a
clear victory for the justice of Ihc system.'

Dairy farm moving to Hadley
Change means better teachingf lower costs and travel time
Wednesday, September 13, 1995 / Page ^
By Allison Conndl/
Collegian Staff
The University of Massachusetts college of Food and
Natural Resources will close its dairy farm in South
Deerfield and move to the Hadley Farm, For students and
faculty, the move means lower costs and improved teach-
ing methods,
Roben Helgesen. Dean of the College, said in a recent
press release that the move is the most logical solution to bet-
ter mc-et the needs of students during a time of budget cuts,
"The move to Hadley Farm." Helgesen said, "will
improve our undergraduate leaching program and make
our livestock operation more cost efficient during a time
of limited resources,"
The University has operated the South Deerfield dairy
as a research and educational center since the mid-70's.
Helgesen attributes the need for a more efficient facil-
ity to the increased enrollment in the veterinary and ani-
mal science programs. The new facility will have
upgraded technology to aid in the teaching pnxess and
make access to the University livestock easier for stu-
dents.
The new facility will have the capacity to hold 30 milk-
ing cows, as well as the newest in milking and bam equip-
ment. There will also be a meeting room and intensive
care unit, along with a fann shop and space for feed and
equipment storage.
With the new facility, we are confident that we are
positioning ourselves very well to serve the future needs
of our students and the Massachusetts dairy industry,"
Helgesen said.
Animal science students at the University are pleased
with the move because it means a shorter commute and
better resources.
"If they're going to expand, we"ll have easier access and
it will be easier to teach. It's a good thing," junior animal
science major Matt Skowron said, "Hadley is much closer
and I'd rather spend more time in the classroom than on
the bus,"
Sophomore animal science major Veronica Waller
agreed with Skowron,
"It takes less time moving around and more time learn-
ing," Waller said,
Skowron and Waller both said that they were glad to
see that the animal science deparimeni was rtot forgotten
as the University expands,
"UMass started out as an agricultural school.* Skowron
said,
"I'm glad to see that animal science is not being lost,"
Waller said.
The new and improved dairy operation will save
$125,000 in costs and will operate within the bounds of
the budget, Helgesen said,
Helgesen expects the center to be in full service by the
start of the 199b-97 academic year.
Land in question as Bosnian settlement approaches
by Duson Stojanovk
Associated Press
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) - As
U.S, diplomats arrive to try to build
on last week's breakthrough accord
on ending the war in Bosnia, the war-
ring sides are staking out land they
want in a final settlement.
For the Muslim-led government,
that means snatching bits of Serb-
held land. For the Serb rebels, it
means defying NATO's airstrikes to
maintain their hold on Sarajevo,
The maneuvering threatens to turn
the glimmer of hope seen Friday in
Geneva - where the combatants
agreed on a general plan to partition
Bosnia - into yet another disappoint-
ment in the 3 1/2-year-old war,
NATO jets pounded Serb positions
again Tuesday, trying to force them
to remove heavy artillery from
around the Bosnian capital of
Sarajevo
Meanwhile, government forces are
also attacking They reported the cap-
ture Monday of land providing better
access to the northern city of Tuzia,
and an advance on Serb-held jajce in
central Bosnia, land they could
expect to have in any eventual peace
deal, A Western military source,
speaking Tuesday on condition of
anonymity, said the Bosnian army
and its Croat allies were on the offen-
sive on three fronts,
Serbs, equally aware of the impor-
tance of holding territory as they sit
down to strike a deal, refuse to with-
draw some 300 big guns from around
Sarajevo, even if it means absorbing
more punishment from NATO,
For them, having a piece of
Sarajevo when the war ends is a top
priority, and gun emplacements over
the city emphasize that point, A T\'
report from Serb-held Banja Luka on
Monday declartxl that the more land
Serbs can hold, the better the
chances they can keep more than the

Survey exposes Springfield health woes
By Anty H. Parcx^z
Collegian Sloff
Six students from the University
of Massachusetts School of Health
and five high school students from
Springfield interviewed 974 people
from the North End of the city over
the summer to obtain in-depth
health data on residents.
The study reveals that 22 percent
of the 279 households interviewed
were not able to get health care at
the time of need during the last
year. Of those bl homes. 61 per-
cent have pHjblic insurance. Still. 41
percent said cost was a factor, and
14 percent blame language difficul-
ties,
"Many of our findings are pre
ventable," said M. Idati Torres,
assistant professor of public health
and coordinator of the North End
Community Health Assessment
Project. She believes that commu-
nity support for health education
programs is needed in order tc)
make health prevention a priority
in Springfield.
For two months, UMass students
and Springfield youths worked in
teams to interview residents, which
was a way to encourage Hispanic
youth to consider health careers
and to provide them with related
skills, according to Torres. Two of
the Springfield students working
on the project are now students at
UMass.
Thirty-eight percent of individu-
als surveyed described their health
as fair, while 55 percent say they
have "poor health." Twenty-seven
percent said they were in "good
health."
"The percentage of residents
who described their health as fair
or poor is much, much higher than
the national average," said Torres.
The following are others of the
findings of the survey:
• For adults aged 19-54, after
back pain and other muscular or
skeletal conditions, the most com-
mon problems are- high blood pres-
sure and other cardiovascular con-
ditions, Nervios — a nervous con-
dition characterized by hysteria,
uncontrollable crying or
seizure-like symptoms — and other
mental health problems
• The most common pnjblems for
pre-school aiKl school- age children
(5-18 years), asthma and other res-
piratory problems, as well as illnevs
es relatcxl to car, no.se ai>d throat.
• Ten percent of all Springfield
hc>uscholds have no insurance.
Seventeen percent have private
insurance; 7 pereent have a combi-
nation of public and private insur-
ance: and bb percent have
Medicare or Medicaid. In the 90
percent of households that have
some sort of insurance, 18 percent
report that at least one family
member is not covered.
Those surveyed were asked
about a variety of subjects, includ-
ing how they obtain health care,
what they consider to be "the most
pressing community problems.' as
well as questions related to lan-
guage and culture.
The goal of the study was to
obtain information that will be
u.sed to plan future services offered
by community-based organiza-
tions, according to Torres.
"It is my hope that the University
will be supportive of this type of
project." said Torres
"It mtx'ts the needs of the facul-
ty and the students to obtain
opportunities for training and
research, and the needs of the com-
munity to have data available for
planning purposes and policy
development." "Torres said.

A University of Massachusetts professor recently
chaired a national committee on flood control measures in
California's American River Basin.
Rutherford \{. Plait, a professor of geography and plan
ning law. headed the Committee on Flood Control
Alternatives for the Water Science and Technology Board
of the National Rcseareh Council.
The committee is proposing alternatives to traditional
flood control measures like dams and levees because
urban developers cannot always re-ly on them. Piatt said
To minimalize losses, the committee reconmiends tak
ing great care in erecting buildings and prohibiting con
struction of homes in the fioodplains, he said,
"If the Mississippi River fiooding in 1995 has taught us
anything it's that we cannot depend on dams and levees to
protect urban development against the ravages of flood-
ing," Platt said, "We must deal with flood hazards by
other measures such as limiting development in fiood
plains or improving flood insurance.'
The committee, which has been meeting for the past
two years, evaluated a range of flood control measures
developed by the United Stales Army Corps of Engineers
for the American River Basin, The basin cncumfiasses the
slate capital of Sacramento,
"We've proposed building dams upstream, expanding
levees and floodwaming systems downstream and limiting
development in the fioodplains |a$ flood management
altemativesl." Platt said.
Since the Gold Rush days of the 1850's. Sacramento
has been battling to prottxt itself from flooding, even as it
has continued to expand within the fioodplain. Many of
the city's 1,4 million residents live behind levees along the
American River,
New flood control developments are being planned for
the Natomas Basin, a 55,tXX>-acre expanse ringed by lev
ecs across the river from downtown Sacramento, One
fiood control measure is using Auburn Dam as a "dry
dam," Platt said.
"This is controversial because it is damaging to canyons
and vegetation," he said. "I'd like to see most of the flood-
plains reservc-d for recreation and farming."
In luly. the committee submitted a report of its rec-
ommendations to the US, Army Corps of Engineers,
who will consider them in requesting funding from
Congress,
The report reviews Hood control planning measures in
the American Basin watershed and examines broader
issues of the nation's approach to flood risk management.
It also provides detailed comments on environmental
issues, risk methodology and flood risk management
behind levees.
The committc-e will also publish the report as a book by
the National Academy Press

Record companies are selling out
Yet another war is being waged b> the pulitical elite
against the mu<k induslr> Since the days of Ozzie
biling off bat's heads and Tipper leading crusades
against saianic me>sages on backward vinyl, certain seg-
ments of our society have persisted with their efforts to
silence what they consider recording jurists
Seems every few years or so a new branch of music is
specifically targeted. Whether it be hip hop or heavy
metal, the song remains the same The government
appoints special interest groups lo espouse the same, tired
arguments. The industry who once fostered and reaped
the financial benefits of their consumer-targeted trend
turn their backs on ii and create a
cheesier form of the music If Bon
lovd and Uhite Lion were bom from
heavy metal's ruots. what's to become
of hip hop — a \ anilla Ice explosion?
The approach of music company
execs and major recording labels in
the past has been to lose the bad rep-
utation with the government by
detaching themselves from the "evil"
form of music that once enjoyed
much commercial .success.
Right now the music industry,
specifically the biggest record compa-
ny in the world. Time Warner Co..
has sucked all the money out of hip
hop it possibly could have, but dropped it like <i bad hubii
when they felt the imminent threat of financial boycott in
the works.
It is no coincidence that in response to some extra
attention by government watchdogs, including presiden-
tial hopeful Bob Dole. Time Warner has decided to sell
off its shares in Interscope Records. Inierscope is a sub-
sidiary which almost exclusively handles hip hop artists.
This particular label has produced tremendous commer-
cial successes, including Dr. Drc and Snoop Doggy Dog.
The behavior of the music industry's leading corporate
power reminds me of the saying, "biting the hand that
feeds you." The industry seems to be readying itself to
exploit newer, improved groups, which fnghtens me most.

Policy keeps students locked in
While students live in
lounges and hotel rooms
because the University of
Massachusetts lacks rooms, the
administration continues an inap-
propriate policy which forces
sophomores to live on campus
against their will.
A few months ago I was a
2 1 -year-old sophomore, and lodav
I am a few months older but a
junior who has the opportunity to
live off campus Despite those long
three months. I am
not more mature.
Others juniors
say the same thing.
My house mate also
said he does not
think he is significantly more
mature today than he was a few
months ago.
The UnivePiity also forces fresh-
men to live on campus in their first
year, but I can understand the poli-
cy. As a first year student, the new-
comers to the University need time
to become accustomed lo their new
surroundings. Living on campus is
definitely the most appropriate
way.
However, after two semester? on
campus many students are well
Matthew
Wurtzel
acquainted with the University and
have had plenty of time to become
contributing members of the com-
munity.
During my freshman year I was
a disc jockey on WOCH cable
radio. When I was a sophomore. I
become a staff member at the
Collegian However, I probably
would have eventually joined the
Collegian staff whether I lived on
campus or not, because as a
loumalism major it seemed natur-
al.
I have also seen
Iriends progress in
similar manners and
become contributing
members in the com-
munity during their freshman year,
and become well established as
sophomores.
Another reason the University
forces sophomores to live on cam-
pus is social reasons. The
University believes students need
more time meeting people, and
the place to meet them is on cam-
pus.
However, the majority of my
friends remain to be the people I
met as a freshman. As a matter of
fact, three of my four house mates
were friends of mine since fresh-
man year.
Last year I desperately wanted
out of the dormitories because the
buildings were noisy, the people
inconsiderate, and the food was
terrible
When I tried to study in the
evenings, it was too noisy to pay
attention to my work. I was often
kept awake at early hours of the
morning when I had morning class-
es. The dormitory halls and bath-
rooms were always a mess.
However, as a sophomore I was
not able to move off campus.
The house I live in is quieter,
and if it is dirty it is our fault rather
then some stranger who may visit
the dormitories and not care.
Basically, if there are any problems,
we caused it rather then some
thoughtless outsider.
For some people another year in
the dormitories is appropriate, and
for others all their time at the
University may be best spent living
on campus. However, a broad and
general rule which limits freedoms
such as the one which is currently
in place, is wrong.

Letters to the Editor
RSO initiative misinterpreted
To the editor:
In Matt Vautour's piece "Notes from the campus center
basement," Collegian's Sept. 8 issue, he refuses to
acknowledge the importance of the UMass Cannabis
Reform Coalition's success in passing a student initiative
declaring all marijuana laws null and void on campus. As
the national news media realized in 1993. the fact that we
engaged countless numbers of Americans in spirited
debate about this often one-sided issue should alone suf-
fice to verify the effectiveness of our signature-obtaining
drive.
Unlike Mr. Vautour we do believe that cannabis will be
re-legalized, with the assistance of organizations such as
ours which actively disseminate information concerning
the unjust war on this most-valuable plant. As indicated
by numerous national polls, an overwhelming majority of
Americans already believe that sick citizens should be
allowed to use marijuana medicinally, and fanners should
be allowed to grow non-THC hemp for industrial purpos-
es. As our efforts at public education continue, we hope to
eliminate marijuana-related lung cancer comments such as
Vautour's. For anyone who has taken even a cursory look
at the medical literature available would sec that there is
no correlation between even heav^ marijuana usage and
increased cancer risk of any kind — unlike with tobacco.
As Mr. Vautour insinuates, marijuana can be easily pro-
cured in and around this campus — as well as in practical-
ly any country in the worid. What he fails to realize, how-
ever, is that millions of Americans should not have lo put
their lives at stake to be able to exercise what should be
their constitutionally-granted civil liberties: namely, the
right to use cannabis for medicinal, industrial, or recre-
ational uses.

THE MASSACHUSETTS DAILY COLLEGIAN
Wednesday, ,SeptcnitH.'r li, 1995 / I'age 5
For brief historical reference on the subject, let's look
back to another shaky period in music history. The earK
eighties spawned the long haired, loud, guitar screeching
antics of heavy metal groups. Characteristically, the
music industry exhausted it> supply of Motley Crue> and
Ozzy Osbournes. They seemed to be scared off by the
likes of the P.M.R.C, with the publicity this group gar-
nered Irom its loud spokesperson, now second lady.
Tipper Gore.
Heavy metal pretty much just fell off the map. A couple
of yean, later the long haired, spandex wearing men reap-
peared with much sappier lyrics and few social axes to
__^_____^^ grind This was a sad time for music,
a time when songs like "Cherry Pie."
and groups like Winger, reigned
supreme.
It history should refJeat itself in this
fashion it will gel ugly. Heavy metal
is all but extinct now. thanks to limit-
ed, if any. marketing targeted at this
listening audience. I don't think hip
hop will face the same demise, but
will take a beating if its own support
system continues to suppress the
music in the market. \'isions of heavy
marketing thrown the way of Markv
Mark and the Funky Bunch or
Gerrardo concern me
It Time Warner is rtot willing to go a couple of rounds
with political forces trying to squash one of its biggest
sellers, it's not likely anyone else will.
Realizing forces inside as well as outside the music
industry are to blame for the demise of "a favorite music"
should give consumers a wake up call. It should teach us
to not only "fight the power" of groups that try to censor
what we hear, but to distrust the music industry that tries
to sell us Gerrardo over Dr. Dre. or Bon lovi over Nine
Inch Nails. We are the ones who blow our money
on this crap, so think a bit more before you pick up that
copy of "Whitesnakc's Greatest hits" album at your local
music store.

Bombing in Bosnia is symbolic
Hussein
Ibish
Despite the obvious pleasure it
provides lo .Americans, the
current campaign of bombing
against Bosnian Serbs is a symbolic,
largely meaningless action in a war
that, at least for now, is basicallv over.
Still, a measure of satisfaction is
justifiable in Western hearts, since
the cherished goal of butchering
Yugoslavia into ethno-national states
is now complete.
During the late 1980s, as the Cold
War order in Europe was disintegrat-
ing, the United States and NATO
were finally able to exact a long await-
ed vengeance against Yugoslavia,
•gainst which there were three major
complaints.
It had been neutral
in the Cold War, and
Americans always
insisted that "if
you're not with us,
you're against us." It had joined the
Third World in charting an indepen-
dent path, working with states such
as India, Egypt, and Indonesia to
form the Non-.Aligtied Movement.
But perhaps the greatest sin of "the
former Yugoslavia" in Western eves,
was the multi-ethnic, multi-cultural
nature of the state. Under the wise
leadership of Marshal losip Broz
Tito, Yugoslavia had demonstrated
that a model of nationalism based on
socialist ideals and shared histories
could succeed in Europe. Clearly this
nationalism-beyond- ethnicity stood
as an affront to the fierce ethnic
nationalism of chauvinist societies
such as France, Britain, Germany and
the other Western European slates.
and a United States founded and run
on the principles of racial inequality
and ethnic cleansing.
The West determined to reshape
the Balkans in its own image, ensur-
ing a brutal war of partition featuring
ethnic cleansing to get the various
south-Slavic groups into ethnically
homogenous zones, resembling the
"racially pure" Western European
states or white American suburbs.
To that end. the West took every
opportunity to create and support
ethnic nationalist groups in
Jugoslavia, encourage separatism
and chauvinism at every stage, pro-
mote secession, and de-legitimize the
multi-ethnic Yugoslav identity that
so many cherished.
Germany, in particular, had a clear
interest in extending its influciice
southward into the Germanophile
states of Slovenia and Croatia, which
would essentially create
a cordon santlaire of
German influence across
the length of
Mitiel-europa. from
Hamburg to Dubrovnik
The rest of Europe and the United
States also agreed to the premature
and mischievous recognition of the
Slovene. Croat and Bosnian seces-
sions. The war of partition in
Yugoslavia was ensured by the pre-
dictable reluctance of any group to
endure minority status in the new
chauvinistic ethno-nationalist stales.
Five years and oceans of blood
later, the grisly task is complete. .At
ihe last burst of murderous ethnic
cleansing, this time of at least
300.000 Serbs in Krajina. Western
satisfaction was all the greater since
it was the first major offensive by the
new American proxy state: Croatia.
The original idea thai a
Muslim-dominated Bosnia could serve
as the main US proxy in the Balkans
was abandoned alter the extent of its
weakness became apparent. Instead.
Ihe Croat army has been rapidly built
into a major force, notwithstanding
the supposed arms embargo.
In fact, the Croat army is currently
"advised" by a group of 15 "retired"
senior U.S. military officers, includ
ing a general who is the former head
of the Defense Intelligence Agency
iD.I.A.i. They are nominal employtvs
of a defense "consulting" companv
based near Langley. Virginia, an
obvious C.I .A. front.
The current situation on the ground
is one w hich appears lo be acceptable
to most of the dominant forces in the
region. Only subordinate groups such
as the Krajina Serbs and the Bosnian
Muslims have completely lost out. The
Muslims, having suffered a grxat deal
at the hands of Serbs and Croats, have
been forced by the United States into
an uneasy subordinate relationship
with Croatia, which controls their
access to western aid and arms, as
well as their coastline. .
The dominant groups are, at least
temporarily.- satisfied. Only a small
set of unresolved issues such as
Eastern Slavonia and Vukovar, which
Croatia would like to regain, consti-
tute the lew immediate Hash points
to a broader war.
While unsatisfied ambitions and
partial solutions make for a clearly
unstable long term future, for now
the settlement of the conflict in
Bosnia seems lo be mostly a question
of formalizing the status-quo. This is
why the current bombs and
Tomahawk missiles are so irrelevant,
designed primarily to restore
ethno-nationalist pride in the
Western powers that have been
humiliated by the Bosnian Serbs.
The Yugoslav dream is dead,
replaced by the nightmare of ethnic
partition.
The war is over- the West has won.

It took me ten days to get up the guts to drive dowTi-
town Amherst afier the students came back last fall.
Our annual migration of mostly healthy young people
bearing mattresses balanced precariously atop
over-stulfed cars remains a spectacle to behold. .And il's
quite the contrast from the relative steady hum of summer
when so few pedestrians wander aimlessly across your
vehicle's path.
I drive a large fully handicapped-equipped van that
requires the equivalent of two parking spots to enable me
to park and get out safely. Another name for il is a "lift
van." In order to get out of the van. 1 exit the right side
door onto a platform lifi that extends four feet out the
right side. Once on the ground, I need another four feel lo
gel off the lift and turn my wheelchair.
Hence the need for two eight-foot parking
space side-by-side ... one for my van. and
one for me to get in and out of il. 1 know
all of us face a problem in general when it
comes to the issue of parking, but for those
of us who drive life-vans, it is particulariy challenging.
It is a journey with a prerequisite — the need lo plan
ahead. Is there a properly designated "double" lift van
spot, or just regular "single" handicapped parking spots?
Is parking difficult in general'.' If there are no HP spots,
vvill I find two eight fool spots together that I can park in
diagonally? Is the parking lot on level ground? (Are we
having fun yet?)
HP lifi spots are really easy to find at local supermar-
kets, much to Ihe understandable envy of others on a blis-
tering hot day. Logically, they are near Ihe entrances,
well-marked with diagonal lines in the zone that the lifi
lowers into, and have signs with the wheelchair logo visi-
ble at five feet. But these spots aren't as easy to find else-
where.
So, back to my story of daring to drive into Amherst
with my lifi van last fall. What happened? 1 headed for
one of my previously reliable five HP parking spots
behind CVS. No such luck. My jaw literally dropped when
I saw that every single space was occupied by cars with no
HP placards or plates. I couldn't not be angry.
Legally and practically speaking, that HP stands for
handicapped parking, which is supposed lo ensure the
bearer of a placard or plate will travel th'e shortest dis-
tance from their vehicle lo wherever they are going.
Personally and emotionally speaking, if you park there,
even if it's "just this once." I can't. Think of it. I pull up to
CV S expecting to maybe find another vehicle with a plac-
ard or plate, but instead I find five illegally parked cars?
Contrary to what some may think, people with disabili-
ties do have lives. To go through the above and end up
with an able-bodied person parked in a HP spot is infuri-
ating. I think I can safely speak for all HP
placard/plate-carriers when 1 say that we run Ihe gamul
of responses. What can happen, vou wonder"* Well this
time I carefully parked behind three of ihe five cars ille-
gally parked behind CVS. (1 thought of going in lo do my
errand, leaving a note on my van that read. "I'll only be a
minute." I have the required chuizpa, but I'm not stupid.)
I stayed in the van and gave each of the drivers an "aware-
ness course" when they returned, whether they liked it or
not. Ah. the desire for justice prevails.
Another satisfying and informative yet
unsympathetic response is to slap on one
of the yellow stickers that can only
removed with a razor. Some messages arc
innocent enough, yet difficult to remove.
Une sa\ .. This space is reserved for people with HP plac-
ards and asses. Which one are you'.'" Kind of makes one
think afier scratching three of them off at once. That hap-
pened to some sorry sucker who parked his classy painted
racing car diagonally across a 16' spot meant for a lifi
van.
FTfectivT now. anyone can call the p^)lice since ihey arc
authorized to ticket and low whether ihe ear in violation
IS on private or public property. And the minimum fine
has been raised lo $100,
One lasl thing. Special plates or placards for individuals
with di.sabilitics require appropriate documentation of eli-
gibility. The award determination is based on medical jus-
tification ol one having a sufficient disability, and tempo-
rary ones can be obtained at the local town hall. Getting a
permanent placard or plate requires documentation of
your pc-rmanent disability from a dwlor plus paying a fee
to the Registo ol Motor Vehicles in Boston. So. anyone
ntvds h ' '" '""'' '" "" '"' "P"' P''"b'''''y- genuinely
I told all this so you could understand Ihe law and why
we have it. If you don'l have an HP placard or plate, il
means you don I need it. Count your blessing and pay
attention, for d you have an HP placard or plate, il means
you need It. They don'i give them away lightly. Please
respect this, and don'l lake our parking spaces lightly.

Hatfield to play the Valley
Only Everything gives ex-Blake Baby singer reason to tour
By Tara MK Connelly
Collagion StoH
Come to Pearl Street this Thursday night and let the
sugary sweet tunes of luliana Hatfield lull you into a
sense of pure pop consciousness.
Touring in support of her third album Only
Everything, the Mammoth Record artist went into the
studio solo and produced what she feels is her best
album yet. In an recent press release, Hatfield
describes that this record as utter perfection.
"This record felt like a gift," Hatfield said
"Everything fell into place. It seemed like the record
was just handed to me as a payoff for all the creative
frustration I've had. After eight years of wailing, it
finally happened. Here, this is what you wanted to
achieve. Oh. finally."
The former lead singer of the Blake Babies broke
away from the popular trio in 1993 where she created
"Become What You Are" with her group The luliana
Hatfield Three. The most popular track off the album
was "My Sister." Hatfield hit it big again with "Spin
The Bottle" off the Kealiiy Hites soundtrack.
Hatfield adds new emotion and depth to her latest
and it shows in the lyrics and change in guitar play-
ing,
"I realize now I'm the master of my guitar." Hatfield
said, "I have lo make it work for me. That's the atti
tude. There's no reason for me to be afraid of my gui
tar, because it wants to be told what to do. That's what
it's there for."
Hatfield also made her acting debut when guest star-
ring as an angel in an episode of the now cancelled
"My-So-Called Life." She also contributed a song lo
the "My-So-Called- I ife" sound track. Ironically
enough, Claire Danes starred as an angel in the Soul
Asylum video for "lust Like Anyone."
Hatfield wrote, recorded and played on her latest
album and believes that it 'just felt like the right thing
to do."

Hiking mountain;
challenging oneself
Tara MK
Connelly
NORTH CONWAY. NH —
By 5 a.m.. il was lighi
enough lo make out the
faint glow of the rocks that sur
rounded me. Silence was broken
only by the melodic crashing of a
nearby and unseen cascade creal
ed by ihe last remnants of melting
snow and ice that clung to the
ravine walls.
I was almost at the top of
Tuckernian's Ravine — almost,
but not quite. The vast sidc^ of
the surrounding
landmass loomed
before and behind.
Always up. but
never over.
We had started
to climb Ntt Washington at I a.m.
Aided b> three flashlights and a
prayer for good weather, we
began to ascend the peak in a
balmy 70 degree heat. It was now
bO and a cool wind had started to
blow. For every 1,000 ft. wed
pass, five degrees were dropped.
By the time we would reach the
summit it would barely clear 50.
One mile up. our merry trio
consisting of ;ny sister, best friend
Sean and myself, collapsed on a
"bridge" (as if a few boards and
some cement constituted such a
structure.) This was Scan's brain-
child, he was the experienced
hiker. We cursed him repeatedly
(my sister sent him to hell quite a
few times) as we stumbled over
unseen rocks trying to keep up
with his 6-fool plus frame.
Now the two of us guzzled large
quantities of Gatorade and scarfed
down dried lumps of granola we
had pilfered from a far off
Christy's. Mmm. nutrients! Later
they'd feel like lead weights, our
stomachs heaving in protest as we
scrambled across the uneven ter-
rain. Below us the rush of water
filled in the void that the darkness
provided.
We had turned off our flash-
lights to conserve the batteries
during these "breaks." periodically
checking the sky for impending
clouds that could spell
h-y-p-o-i-h-t-r-m-i-a. It didn't
matter, we were so sweaty, dirty
and generally willed that death
seemed welcoming. You ever
notice how pain is exaggerated
into gigantic proportions when the
bcidy is fatigued'.' Always up and
never over.
The night was clear and still.
Wc had paused after passing the
emergency shelter because we
thought we had seen light> follow-
ing us. Rangers warning of a
storm'.' Fellow nut cases — ah hik-
ers like us'.' Over active imagina-
tion'.'
The faint traces of the Milky
Way could be seen
hovering among
the dense canopy of
stars — millions of
miles away, but yet
bright enough to
touch. The ground had gotten
rocky, sleeper, "more challeng-
ing." Oaths were exchanged,
groans pierced the rapidly cooling
air and muscles protested under
multiple layers of clothing that
had earlier been shed like a sec-
ond skin.
"Why are we here?" "Who's
idea was this anyway'.'" and my
personal favorite. "lust let me die."
If the darkest hour is before
dawn then we were soon sitting
right in the middle of it. The
ravine had created a bowl type
effect lined with boulders and
jagged cliffs that ended sharply at
the lop with a horizon full of
shimmering stars. If Hayden
Planetarium in Boston looked half
ihis beautiful no one would want
lo leave. Looking below, we could
make out the shadowed tree line
dotted with moss, rocks and the
slowly melting snow.
Massive cairns marked the way
out of the ravine. The sky line was
blushing — darkness lifted, signs
were heard. The vast wasteland of
rocks spotted with immature
shrubs and trees stretched before
us. taunting us. guiding us. egging
us on an upward. We were racing
against time — against light for
the coveted glimpse of the sun ris-
ing from the >ummil b.OOO ft.
above sea level.
At the summit a ranger ambled
over to where we sal sprawling
and told us we "-hould have taken

-^ ALBUM REVIEW --
Mega Teenbeat box set features label artists
EggSf Unrestf Tuscadero singles complied together for fans on Wakefield collection
By Mike Burke
Collegian StaH
VARIOUS AKTISTS
Wakefield The Teenbeat Story
Teenbeat Records
I'en veurs ago. Mark Robinson
relcused a compilation cassette on
his own label entitled Teenbeat. He
made 20 copies and sold them lo his
friends at Wakefield High School
and now the cassette is a collector's
item valued at over $100! Why'.'
Since 1485, Teenbeat Records has
been one of the most consistent and
dependable labels in the indepen-
dent music world, releasing over
150 records. Wakefield: The
Teenbeat Story is a four CD box set
offering a comprehensive look at the
past and present of Robinson's
label.
Disc One. entitled A Teenbeat
Sampler, contains 17 songs by almost
all the current bands on the label.
Last year this CD was released as a
precursor to the box set, so many
Teenbeat fans may already own a
copy. Not surprisingly. Versus is the
standout band on this disc. Their
song. "Know Nothing" continues
their long streak of never releasing a
mediocre song. Other highlights
include new tracks by Air Miami and
Tuscadero.
Ilai Communist Tart! is the title of
the scvond disc in the box set and it is
being co-released in lapan by the
label 100 Guitar Mania. Il serves as
an introduction lo Teenbeat for the
lapancse audience. Almost all of
these songs are appearing on CD for
the first time after appearing on
7-inch singles. Air Miami's killer
track "Airplane Rider" is sure to grab
everyone attention, as will Barbara
Manning's song "I Love You 1.000
Ways." Also note worthy are tracks
by Grenadine. Cath Carrolll and
Eggs. .
The next two discs are the most
essential as ihey contain loads of
scmgs thm have been out of print for
years. Disc three opens with
arguably, the two best Teenbeat
bands. Versus and Unrest. Versus
opens it up with their rocking tunc
"Big Head On", then Unrest keeps
the energy flowing with the catchy
"So Sick." Among the old rarities
included are tracks by Mark E.
Superstar and Scaley Andrew.
The final disc February 2ird. I9S5
is entitled after Teenbeat 's birthday
on which Robinson released his first
cassette. Two tracks from that tape
appear here by Thirsty Boys and
jungle George & The Plague. While
not the best material on the disc, it
is nice lo hear what the original
Teenbeat sound was. Unrest con-
tributes three songs here including
"Capczio Bowler" a forgotten clas-
sic. Bratmobile covers Blur's
"There's No Other Way" while
Clarence performs two great .songs.
Most of these songs have never been
readily available and would be near
impossible to find, also very expen-
sive.
Perhaps the biggest drawback to
this compilation is its rarity. Only
600 box sets were pressed so they are
hard to come by. but are worth seek-
ing out. You will never have a chance
to hear many of these songs again.
Plus the CDs come in an interesting
cardboard box and are individually
numbered. The linear notes to the
CDs are written by Mark Robinson.
Bridget Cross, and Phil Krauth. all
ex-members of Unrest and essential
members of the Teenbeat family.
.And finally a booklet listing a com-
plete Teenbeat discography is includ-
ed.
As with most box sets. Wakefield:
The Teenbeat Story is filled with both
great songs and some ones that
should have been forgotten. But il is a
worthy dcvumeni of the great success
that Teenbeat has had. With current
bands like Versus, Tuscadero. Eggs.
Blast Off Country Style. Air Miami
and Grenadine. Teenbeat is still one
of the best independent labels
around. (A-)

Betty Crocker to change old image
By Suzanne Ziegler
Aisocialed Preis
GOLDEN VALLE^. Minn -^
Betty Crocker, the white breadand-
mayonnaise symbol of middle
America, is getting j nmlii ethnic
makeover.
General Mills Inc. ••un.i Monday ii
will select photos of 75 women — to
celebrate Betty Crocker's TSih birth-
day - and digitally "niorph" them into
a new Betty.
Chances are. she won't be the fair
skinned, blue-eyed homemaker
whose image has appeari-d on and oil
over the years on ciKiklKKiks. cake
and brownie mixes and Hamburger
Helper.
"I guess they want to put some fire
under her tail." said Lehman
Brothers analyst Caroline Levy. I
think it's a great idea lo revitalize ihe
brand.'
The new face, to be unveiled in
February, will be the eighth Beity
Crocker since the fictional character
was crcati-d in 1421.
Small changes were made over the
y«airs - she smiles in the l'*S5 pt.)rtrait
and wears a pearl choker in "bS but
she always remains prim and proper.
The latest incarnation, in 1986,
wears a red business suit and bow
tie.
University of Minnesota marketing
professor Akshay Rao said the idea
rellects the increasing percentage of
mirKirities in the nation.
"The lace ol the nation is going to
be very different than it was 20 years
ago," he said. If they can identify
with the person on the brand better
because it looks like them, this is a
wise thing to do."
Quaker Oats Co. has given peri-
i>dic makeovers to Aunt lemima.
who has slimmed down and become
more sophisticated-looking over the
years.
General Mills is asking Betty
wannabes to send in their photos
along with an essay on how they
emKxly the company ideal of family
and .'ommunity spirit, creativity and
interest in cooking. Winners will be
chosen on the basis of the best
essays.
What if an aspiring Betty happens
to have a nose ring, cheek tattoo or
lime green mohawk?
"I have no idea what the judges
will do, but I don't think there will
be a significant number of fringe win-
ners that will affect Betty looking
mainstream," General Mills
spokesman Barry Wegener said.
And what about a male version of
Betty? Such applications will be
read, but "we are looking for
women," project manager Cindy
Gueltler said.
Toni Green, director of marketing
for the Minneapolis Institute of Arts,
wasn't all that impressed with the
campaign.
"If I am going to buy cake mix. it
doesn't matter if she is white." said
Green, who is black. "I think some-
times they overthink these things,
and I think there are more pressing
issues in the world than trying to
get a more politically correct
woman."
In the cake mix aisle at a grocery
store in Minneapolis, loan Mensinger
said she never gave a second thought
to the packaging.
"I only care if it's a good cake
mix," Mensinger said. "Part of me
thinks it's silly. The other says they
don't have a choice. You offend
somcvne no matter wtial you do."

Boston Red Sox continue slide,
fall to the Baltimore Orioles 6-5
By David Ginsburg
Associated Press
BAl.TIMORF. (AP) The
lk>>lon Red Sox hit three homers,
then ended up losing their lilth
straight giinie on a single that bare-
ly made it out of the infield.
The Orioles overeanie two home
runs b\ Mo \'aughn and another by
Mike Greenwell and extended
Boston's season-high losing streak
with a b-S victory Tuesday night.
With two outs in the Baltimore
seventh. Ilaaild Baines hit a pinch-
hit double off loseph Hudson (0-
I ). Mark Smith then blo».)pcd a sin-
gle lo center, scoring Baines with
the go-ahead run.
One day earlier, the Red Sox hit
four homers in a 10-7 loss to
Baltimore.
"It seems like they've been scor-
ing all their runs on homers, but
we're coming up with the clutch
hits," Smith said. "It's nice that we
could keep up with them without
hitting homers."
Hudson, who took his first loss
in the majors, said. "It was a good
pilch - the ball just didn't go my
way. Sometimes a guy's got a little
moa' luck on his side, and thai was
the case with him tonight."
The bottom two batters in the
Baltimore lineup inilicled the most
damage. No. t< hitter Smith had
two RBIs. including the lie-break-
ing single in the seventh, and Bret
Barberie aKo drove in two runs
with a sacrifice fly and a bases-
loaded walk.
"That's the frustrating part,'
Boston manager Kevin Kennedy
said. "They hit some balls inside
the line, they've hii some balls that
have fallen. ... That's the mystery
of baseball."
Vaughn has four multi-homer
games this season and nine in his
career. He has four in three games
and 37 for the season. Greenwell
nil his 1 3lh homer to tie the game
in the seventh, but the lead didn't
last long.
"We've been down five straight
games and coming back but we've
got to put a /cro up there when we
score." Kennixly said.
Mike Hartley (10) got the last
out in the seventh, and lesse
Orosco got the final four outs for
his second save.
The loss reduced Boston's lead
over the New York Yankees lo 10
1/2 games in the Al l-!ast.

NBA settlement imminent
By Ronald Blum
Associated Press
NEW YORK - Labor peace
appeared likely in the NBA after
players rejected by a nearly 2-iol
margin the elTori lo oliminaie their
union.
"I would hope ihc player reps
look at thai and ratify the agree-
ment." union head Simon
Gourdine said alter the wtes were
counted Tuesday at the National
Labcir Relations Board
Player represcntaii\ .
meet in Chicago on Wednesday
and vote on a six-year collectixe
bargaining agreement. NBA com-
missioner David Stern predicted
owners will approve the coniraci
by next Monday at the latest and
lift the lockout iniptised juK 1. If
the deal is approved, training
camps would open a> scheduled on
Oct. b and the sea-^on woiild Ktin
on time on Nov, 5. Since the i
y>ui. teams were barred Iroiii nepo
liaiing player cc^niracis. Among the
421 eligible voters. 22ti voted lo
keep the union and 1 54 voted to
decertilv. The pro-union forces.
whieh were supported by Stem and
got t'i percent of the ballots, said
the vote was ianiunK>uni to a refer-
endum on the labor agreement.
"I don't think there is a signifi-
.ant group c>ut there any more that
IS againsi ihis deal," Stern said.
Daniel Silverman, the NLRB"s
New York regional director, said
the resuhs will not be official until
Sept. N. The losing side may file
objections to the way the vote was
conducted. The Nl RH would then
lake four to six weeks to detemiine
whether the objections are valid
"Of course, I'm disappointed by
the vote," said leflrey Kessler, the
lawyer lor players seeking to decer-
tify the union, "i still believe this is
.1 terrible vote for the players and
V will regret it for a long lime."
kessler's group, which includes
Michael lordan and Patrick Lwing,
will decide this week whether lo
challenge the election. The over-
whelming vote may cause the
group to give up the tight, which
began lune 21
".-\ lot of the players got intinii
dated by the threat of the t>wners
that the season was gc>ing to end,"
Kessler said. "The strategy the
NBA carricxl out was elleclive."
Stern denied the NB,\ had
coerced players to support the
union. "This is a perfeclly legal
lockout," he said. "We did nothing
ihal is wrong."
The divsidenis think players
could get a belter deal by dissolv-
ing the union and fighling the NBA
in court The group filed an
aniiirusl suil in Minneaptilis on
lune 28, but appellate courts have
ruled players can't proceed with
antitrust cases if thev are union
ized.
Phillips kicked off Nebraska football
By Dave Zelio
A socioied Press
LINCOLN, Neb. -■ After his
sopnomore season, Nebraska running
back Lawrence Phillips wa* asked
what il would lake to gel hif

"Il would have lo be a situation
where I can't walk," he answered
"Or a situation where I might die "
Neiiher was the ca.se with the stun-

Phillips. 20, was charged with

NtcFweii. a 20 year-old sophomore

he certainly did inflict scmie damage
lo the young ladv." Osborne said.
"She was dragged down some stairs
and there were some in)uries "
Although Osfvome may vet change
his mind and reinstate Phillips on the
team, the coach clearly is unhappy
wilh ihe I back after two previous
brushes with the law in Lincoln
The assaull allegation was a dis
lurbing reminder ol Phillips' past
problems with controlling his temper;
There were fislfighls al a California
gaiup home where he lived lor pan
of his high schivl career. His fresh
man debut at Nebraska was delayed
by a one-game suspension lor fight
ing with a leammale.
Still, longtime friends were
shiKked at news of the arrc-st "He's a
very gentle person, very soil spuken
and low-key," said liarbara Thomas,
who runs the Tina Mac Ciroup Home
in West Covina, Calif., where Phillips
lived be-lore coming lo Nebraska "I
wonder wfial happened."
Iriends said Phillips may have Kvn
under too much pressure because of
highly publicized run ins with peilice
and an NCAA investigalion.
"He's in a differeni setting back
there." Ms. Thomas said "He hasn't
been exposed ic) what he's seeing
right now. He comes back home and
he's comfortable You have lo know
how to fit in sometimes. I didni

Pittsburgh defense is under attack
By Alan Robinson
Asiociatod Press
PITTSBliRC.H (AP) Cireg Lloyd
said il lirsl very loudly and very
emphalically - and coach Bill
Cowher agrees: Nobody, not even
NH officials, will disrupt the way
Ihe Pittsburgh Sleelers play defense.
Adjust lo the NLL's newly
sirenglhened rules to proleel the
quarterback'.' Mavbc- Bul alter the
blitzing, attacking style thai gol the
Sli-elers lo the AFC lille game last
season?
"No, no, IK), no - we overcome il,"
Cowher said Tuesday, displaying the
same emotional passion he normally
rc"servi"s lor the sidelines "II we get
a penally, they gel a llrst down ami
we jusi line up and iry lo slop ihem
ihrtx' more ikiwns Bul we will NOT
cfiangelhe way we play football "
The Sleelers cannot worry that
olficials, subconsciously or nol,
might be overly protective Momlay
of Dolphins star Han Marino,
according lo I loyd.
The intriguing matchup of the
AlC's best oflensi- (Miami) against
its besi delense (Pillsburgh) is
already being promoted as a possi
ble preview of the AFC champi-
onship game.
"Dan Marino''" Cowher said, his
eyes widening and brightening at
the very mention ol the name. "I
don'l think sii. I think the olficials
are loo prvilessional for thai."
Regardless, the Sleelers clearly
have found il difficult lo lone down
their aggressiveness lo fit the
expanded rules designed to proleel
quarterbacks
Ticxl lor the Nl I lead in penalties
( mi wilh the lions and |eis. the
Sleelers rlrcw eight delensive penal
lies in Ihe second half Sunday in
Houston One was a roughing the
|iasser call on Lloyd, wIhj was fined
$I2,UUU lor a presc-asim hit on Ihe
Packers' Brett Favre The line and
pi.-nally hardly seem lo have siiflcti
Lloyd's allack lirsl style, just as
Cowher hope they wouldn't.
"I will Iry to knock (Marinol into
next week." Lloyd said "If the olfi-
cials warn to call a penalty, so be it
Are we going lo go after Marino''
What do you think'' We are nol
going to play passive defense.
"(The league! shows all ihosc
supi-r hils of guys gelling knocked
around and knoekeil out of bounds
and hil and spinning in the air
They show that lo ihe fans fx-fore
the game As soon as we do that,
ihey throw a flag Thai's very hypo
critical Until ihey get their act
together, they can't say anything to
me nothing they say lo nie or any
line ihey levy on me."

UM men's soccer gets back on track, dumps Siena
By Leigh Torbin
Collegian Staff
Massachusens
Siena
CHICOPKF. — Alter a stunning up^ct k)>s at the hands
of f ordham last Saturday, the Uni\crsil> ol Massachusetts
men's soccer team had to regain the lonii thai won it last
season's Atlantic 10 Conference championship.
Despite missing Karsten Bremke for the third consecu-
tive game and with Dave Siljanovski suf-
fering from injuries, the Minutemen
(■J-I-l' regained their usual form last
night, beating Siena 5-1 before 274 at
Szot Park in Chicopee.
Scott Rcgina. Krad Miller and Brad Kurowski tallied
for UMass as the Minutemen handed Siena its second
loss.
"After Saturday's game we netxied a W and even more
importantly we needed tu play well." L'.Mass coach Sam
Koch said. 'The first half we played very well, but we
have to kcvp on improving. In the second half ai times we
didn't play well and we can't expect to be real successful.
This was a positive move in the right direction but we've
still got a ways to go."
The Saints controlled play early on. A talented crop of
speedy Siena forwards utilized some great individual
moves to create some quality scoring opportunities.
Siena would register the match's first tally at the 9:3b
mark, as David Clock fired a shot past LMass goalkeeper
trie Cruber and into the top right comer.
l-'or the next eighty-plus minutes the Minutemen con-
trolled the play. L'Mass was more open in its one-touch
passing than they were against Fordham and on a few
occasions Mike Butler was able to use the open space to
create oflen>ive opportunities.
Siljanovski. the .A-lO's Player of the Week, sufferetl a
contusion just above his right knee in practice on Monday
and did not enter the game until the 2Uth minute
Siljanovski still played his usual fiery game and wa-tc-d no
lime in adding to his team scoring lead.
After helping, along with Colin lohnson. set up an
cxcctleni scoring chance for Paul Corcoran. Siljanovski
assisted on L'Mass' first goal of the evening at the
26:4b
Siljanovski sent a pass to lohnson at the 18. lohnson
was stopped with his back to the goal by a Siena defender
after receiving the ball but sent a pass to the outside to a
charging Rcgina who beat Siena goalkeeper Brian
Monranari low for the second goal of his freshman cam-
paign.
lust four minutes later. Regina would have his bid
for a second goal thwarted when a powerful shot
dedecied ofl the far post after beating a sliding
Monranari.
Maintaining the pressua*. the Minutemen posted their
second goal of the match just under seven minutes from
the half. Defender Bennie Sheally. standing ten yards
inside the midficid stripe on the far side of the field,
launched a precise pass to Miller, who was
at the corner of the penalty area on the
near side of the field.
Sheally's mind boggling sixty yard pass
landed right at Miller's feet. The
Longnieadow native rilled a shot past Monranari for the
third goal of his career, made extra- special by it coming
belore a home-town crowd.
"It felt great to get a goal tonight." Miller said. "I've
been working on playing hard defense first but try to
come through on offense. Shealy gave ine a great ball
trom the outside and everything worked out well. It wa^
great having the youngsters here screaming."
Miller was not alone in feeling that playing at Szot
Park, thirty minutes south of Amherst, benefited the
Minutemen.
"I think I playing in Chicopee j is exactly what we need
ed." Koch said. "We needed to get away from campus u
be more locused. I think that certainly helped us. and this
is a great place to play too."
UMass survived a scare in the 54th minute after a Siena
Ircvkick. Glock snuck behind the Minuteman defensive
wall, fifteen yards from the goal, and took a gentile pass
Irimi Tom Sewell. catching most of the UMass defense by
surprise. IX'fender loe |acobsc)n made a spectacular play
as he broke free from the wall to block, and clear Clock's
shot.
Siljanovski recorded his second assist, in the 73rd
minute, as he sent a freekick from the side of the penally
area to the head ol Kurowski for his first career goal.
"There are a lot of people that can score." Koch com
menied. "Siljanovski is doing an excellent job for us. but
there are other people who can put the ball in the back ol
net. It's great to see it happen."
L'Mass' defense held Siena for the final sixteen minute^
as the few shots Siena could muster were mostly off tar
get. Gruber was able to turn away the Saints' sole serious
scoring bid with a spectacular save on a Sewell header
two and a half minutes from full time.
The Minuiemen will face a powerful Xavier squad
Friday evening in Cincinnati.
Women's tennis opens on road
CIHIRIlSVMKXAKHAtlONS
Sophomore Noelle Orsini and the rest of the UMass womens' tennis squad, takes aim at Hartford today in their
opening inatch of the Fall season.
By Jay Warner
Collegian Correspondent
With only one week to prepare for
Wednesday's opening match with
Hartford. Massachusetts women's
tennis coach |udy Dixon is hesitant to
give an outlook on the season just
yet
Coming off a 7-5 campaign in
1994, Dixon tell that the main con-
cern for this year's team was to
improve their doubles play. After los-
ing four matches by one single point,
due mainly to the lack of strength in
doubles. Dixon sought to recruit
players who were gootl athletes with
doubles iibility.
What she found was Marie
Christine Caron and lackic
Bruunstein. both acquired primarily
for their --iicccss as doubles players.
"Most high school players do not
enter college with much knowledge
of doubles and a lot of limes these
double niaiches are the ones that
determine the outcome." Dixon
said.
She feels that Caron and
Braunslcin. also the No. 5 singles
player, will give UMass the strength
it needs in doubles play.
LiesI Sitton returns in her senior
year as the No. I singles player, as
well as a member of the No. I dou-
bles pair. Dixon feels that Sitton. a
co-captain, is "the finest women's
tennis player UMass has ever had".
Sophomore Noelle Orsini returns
as the No. 2 singles player, hoping to
improve on last season, in which
Dixon felt maturity and experience
were her difficulties, lunior Liz
"Most high school
players do not enter
college with much
knowledge of doubles
and a lot of times these
double matches are the
ones that determine the
outcome. "
- judy Dixon
women's tennis coach
Durant returns as a eo-caplain and
No. 3 singles player, with winning
New Fnglands iis her long term goal.
Durant will also team up with Caron
to form the teams No. 2 doubles
team.
Reluming sophomore Caroline
Steele is the No. 4 singles player,
who Dixon feels added intensity and
consistency during the off-season in
the backcourt are aspects of her
game that need improvement. More
important than her singles status is
her contribution as the No. I doubles
pairing with Sitton. whom Dixon
feels fomis "one of the finest doubles
team in New England."
Rounding out their lineup is Jackie
Braunslcin. as a No. 5 singles player
and No. 2 doubles team alongside
Orsini. and Lana Corodelskaya as
the No. b singles player.
This year's schedule starts out with
a number of matches in September
that are against very competitive
teams, but against which UMass is
capable of winning.
From October on. they face diffi-
cult squads which either make or
break their season, with New
Fnglands just around the corner.
With five of Ihe eight members of
last year's team being freshman,
Dixon felt that inexperience played
a major role in several matches. She
hopes that with the five returning
sophomores as well as the leader-
ship of Sitton and Durant, they will
be able to pull out Ihe close match-
es that slipped out of reach last sea-
son.
The team has set a goal of 1 5 wins
and Dixon knows the talent is there.
The question is whether it can
improve its doubles game and display
Ihe experience that it takes to pull
out close ones.
The UMass mens' soccer team ran over Siena College 3-2 last night at Szot Park in Chicopee.

The wild-card face off: play or fold
■ Extra playoff rounds ■ New system cools off
add more excitemem the fans' pennant fever
A BRIAN
ijk PERILLO
ON THE
Wild Card
Debate
Mike %
BROWN y
Enter the age of expansion.
The Major League baseball season, the pennant
race, the divisional championships, and the battle to
win the World series, is the chronological order which
baseball fans follow each season, in anticipation for
the winner of the Fall Classic.
Last season, the strike J
hit the world of baseball
mania and left a piece of
myself and many others
missing. I watched
Monday night football,
disappointed in Major
League Baseball, wishing
the two minute warning
was the bottom of ihe
ninth.
Baseball returned this
year and I was back on the
bandwagon faster than a
Roger Clemens fastball. I
read about and watched the
dramatic decrease in ball-
park attendance, and the
lack of fan support for
America's national pastime. I
could not believe the grudge
perennial baseball fanatics were holding against ihe
players.
Personally. I think the grudge held against the play-
ers was an excuse because their favorite or home team
couldn't beat the Bad News Bears. For example, take a
city with a team like the Minnesota Twins or the
Toronto Blue lays. Each of those cities were fortunate
enough to be blessed with a World Series Champion in
the '90s. The fact that they slink sends fans looking for
excuses. I don't want to hear it.
In 1993 expansion hit the bigs and in 1994. the
American and National Leagues played some musical
chairs. The Florida Marlins and the Colorado Rockies
entered the Nation^il League, forcing a realignment of
the divisions. Fach League added a Central Division,
and according to geographic location, teams shifted to
the division best suited for travelling.
Now we have leagues with three divisional winners.
So how do you organize the playoffs? Fasy. add a
wild-card team in each league to make it even. Thai is
the best idea lor the following reasons:
• With expansion. MLB had to add a third division
to each league. In order to retain and create new excit-
ing divisional rivalries, a five team division is more
interesting than a seven team division. Adding that
wild-card team makes it an even four teams per
league, in Ihe playoffs.
•How can you have a League Championship series
with three teams'.' It is not right to give the leam with
the best record a bye. Divisions are better than others
from year to year, so the record may not be an accu-
rate assessment of the team's talent.
•Another possibility might be to take the two best
records of the three divisional winners. What a drag
that would be. For instance, the California Angels have
a five game lead in the AL West, however the
Cleveland Indians (Central winners), and lioston Red
Sox (likely East winners), both have belter records.
If you are an Angels fan, would it be fair to say, "I'm
an Angels fan. and they won the AL West pennant, but
that doesn't mean squat because they do not have a
shot at the World Scries"'? I would be peeved.
• Baseball is a game of streaks and players arc
changing teams like Deion Sanders changes sports
teams. Some teams start off very slow, but after a few
key acquisitions and the development of players, a
team rises as a power to be reckoned with.
Turn to BROWN, page 9
Ahhh...the good old days.
Major League Baseball still had a commissioner.
Wade Boggs was still cheered in New England and
teams still had to win something lo gel to ihe post sea-
son.
Vcs. before the "Age of the Wild card" came
t upon us. it actually required a record
over .500 to get to the playoffs.
Now, before I gel carried away with
this thing, let me just say that I am not
bashing the new wild card system
because I am not one of those "baseball
purists." I have no problem seeing veter-
ans like Eddie Murray or Chili Davis gel
a few years worth of hacks in as a desig-
nated hitter. I also happen to be one of
the only people that thinks the expansion
Tampa Bay Devil Rays have a preiiy
catchy nickname.
No, I am not a purist. But I am against
the wild card. Why'.' Simply because the
system makes no sense, whatsoever.
Let me start by throwing out a few facts.
First. Major League Baseball plays a 162
game season. Ib2 games' That amount is
twice hockev or basketball, and len limes the
NFL!
Over that many games, two things happen.
, The best leam in each division emerges as a regular
season champion. There is no arguing the fact that in
162 games, the deepest, most talented ballclubs wind
up at the lop.
The teams with a few good players, or a couple
decent pitchers, may win some games, but will not last
over an entire season.
Why, then, give these average teams a shot lo win it
all'.' Babe Ruth would be turning over in his grave.
Brownie might say that the better teams should then
prove it in the playoffs, but in baseball, more than
every other sport, any team can beat any other team on
a given day. Even the best clubs lose fifty games a year.
This is fine, and it is part of the mystique of the
game when an underdog team can knock off a power-
house. Don't forget, until this year, all teams involved
in the playoffs were already champions, and had
proven themselves over a full season.
However, it is absolutely ridiculous that a team like
Kansas City, trailing the Cleveland Indians by 25 and a
half games could match up with the Tribe for the right
to go lo the World Series.
Let's see, didn't the Indians already prove they were
just a little better than the Royals this year? Yet here
they are one or two bad games away from being elimi-
nated by a club they finished over two dozen games
ahead of? Ridiculous!
Under this system, any team with a couple of good
pitchers and a decent lineup could go all the way. For
example, let's talk about the New York Yankees. The
Bronx Bombers have two All-Star pitchers in David
Cone and lack McDowell, but after that their pitching
staff looks like the personification of mediocrity.
However, in a first round series, the Yanks could
start either Cone or McDowell in four of the five
games. With a pitching staff like that. Ihe pinsiripers
suddenly go from an inconsistent farce, lo a post sea-
son force.
Now, let's say the Yankees do win this new thing
called the wild card. By some higher-up's stroke of
brilliance, the Yanks would play California, while the
F.asi champion Red Sox match up against Cleveland.
What a reward for winning the division! The Sox
face the best team in baseball, while the second place
club from their own division draws a faltering Angels
squad.

US Embassy bombed in Moscow
By Serge Shargorodsky
Associated Press
MOSCOW — A masked attacker Tired a rocket-
propelled gienade that pierced the thick brick wall
ol the U.S. Embassy and exploded in an empty
office Wednesday. No one was injured in the dar-
ing mid-afternoon attack that came at a lime of ris-
ing ami- American >entimcnt.
rhiere was no claim of responsibility and officials
said there wa> no clear link le growing Russian
criticism of N.ATO airstrikes on Bosnian Serbs.
Russian and US spokesmen insisted the attack
was an isolated incident.
"It's the act of a lone maniac. " said a senior
Russian security official at the scene, speaking on
condiiiim of anonymity. The grenade was fired at
4:25 p.m. from the opposite side of the busy
C<arden Ring road, crossing 12 lanes of rush-hour
traffic, it punched through the facade of the nius-
tard-and-while IO->-iory building on the sixth flcKir.
sending thick >.nu>ke swirling The blast broke two
windows and gouged out bnck and plaster, leaving
a hole and scorching the wall.
There were no reports of arrests, but the Interfax
news agency quoted security officials as saying they
had a composite sketch of the attacker, a tall,
young man in jeans.
Embassy spokesman Richard floagland called
the attack "an isolated act" and said it "will have
no impact on the Russian-.American relations."
In Washington, the Stale Department said
President Clinton was briefed on the attack, which
came just a day alter the Kremlin accused NATO
of genocide against the Bosnian Serbs. Russia's his-
toric allies.
It also came on the eve of a visit to Moscow by
Deputy Secretary Strobe Talbott. charged with try
ing to heal the widening rift betwcxm Washington
and Moscow.
Hoagland said the grenade exploded inside a
large phoUKopying machine, which absorbed most
of the shock. The small room was empty at the
lime, he said.
"There were no warning calls." Hoagland said.
"As of now. no one has claimed responsibility."
A spent grenade launcher, a black ski mask and
a glove were found across the ring road. Hoagland
said. Police said the launcher was lying inside an
archway leading to a tree-covered courtyard that
may have been the escape route. Some Russian
media reports said the attacker escaped in a wail-
ing car.
Glass, shrapnel and what liKiked like the rocket-
propelled grenade's tail lilterc-d the pavement out-
side the embassy.
"Most likely it was an anti-lank grenade." said
Moscow Civil Defense commander Col. Ivan
Chigogidze.
In Washington. State Department spokesman
Nicholas Burns said someone was using the copy
machine five minutes before the explosion.
""They could have btvn killc-d." he said.
Interior Ministry commandos, police and
embassy guards cordoned off the area The
embassy's Marine guards, armed with automatic
rifles and machine guns. sIckkI guard. Bomb-sniff-
ing police dogs were also on the scene
.All but essential personnel were evacuated, but
ihe modern annex behind ihe embassy's main

Termites torment Hatch, force bar to close
The Hatch is undergoing renovations following a termite infestation.
By Chris Conner
Collegian Staff
Early in .August, while moving the
portable stage thai usually rests at the
back of the Hatch, u University of
Massachusetts employee's fool
plunged through the wooden floor-
boards ol the eatery.
.Aftei investigation from the
University Physical Plant,
Environmental Health and Safety,
and ;in exterminator, the source of
the problem was found - termites.
.As a result, the portion of the
Hatch infested with the insects,
which had collected in the
out of-service bowling alley lanes
under the boards, has been closed off
by a temporary wall since the .August
discovery.
The bowling alley had been closed
for the past 25 years, and was
responsible for the elevaticm in the
back of the Hatch.
Roberta Potter, the Director of
Campus Center Food Services, said
that because only the Hatch Bar area
was constructed from wckkI. the rest
of the eating establishment was left
unscathed.
"The good news is that the damage
is just limited lo that pan of the
Hatch." Potter said.
Hatch Bar closed
Yet. the damage was extensive
enough to require the gutting of the
entire back, including the Hatch Bar
and seating space, neither of which
Potter said should greatly impact
upon the University community.
"The only real decrease in sales
will be from the Hatch Bar." she said.
"But the bar was one of our
least -used spaces certainly."
Potter described the bar as having
a "devoted and loyal following."
albeit u small one.
Student employees have received
mixed responses regarding the
absence of the Hatch Bar.
"I haven't gotten a lot of com-
ments." said Student Supervisor Eric
Douglas, ii senior Anthropology
major. "I haven't got u lot of negative
response."
lift CHCIOVANNI/CCXlfCIAN
Other students have been curious
as to why the bar has disappeared.
"They come over and ask where
the Hatch Bar is." said senior psy-
chology major Li/ Richmond, who
works at ii register. "I just send them
up lo the Top of the Campus (TOO
and tell them it's a belter view any
way "
Potter, kk). said she hopes students
will use the TOC bar as a substitute
this year, but also indicated the situa-
tion was not dire lo business,
"If we had to pick one space to
lose for a while, that would be the
space," Potter said "Not lo say I'm
glad it's gone."

Amherst addresses
free speech rights at
heated town meeting
By PoulHoyas
Collegian Staff
First Amendment issues, com-
mittee appointments, schixjl fund-
ing and town financial resources
were among the many duties
which the Town of Amherst
Select Board tackled during their
meeting this past Monday from b
to ^ p.m.
Frecdoni of speech
There have long been banners
seen in the center of Amherst, the
current banner reading "Trash
Into Treasure," advertising a fur-
niture sale.
Lately, however, the banners
have become a source of increas-
ing controversy, and it may sixin
come down to a hearing as to
whether or not the banners will
continue to fly overhead in
Amhcrsi Center.
According to a luwn law. these
banners are not allowed lo con-
tain commercial, political or reli-
gious statements, or statements of
position on any issue.
Any of these types of messages
can easily be used if they are
turned into an announcement for
an event, said Hill Boss, one of the
five members of the Amherst
select board
Amongst the banners arousing
the greatest public outcry was the
one which announced the New
Testament Church's "|esus is
Risen" mass. Boss said
"I think it's a healthy example
of free speech." said lack Gravell.
a pastor from the Amherst area
New Testament Church.
Boss, who received numerous
phone calls from lewish con-
siiiuenis. stresses that he has noi
taken a position against the ban-
ner.
"Ii was simply an effort on my
pari to see if there was a consen-
sus in town to change the poli-
cies." Boss said. "I would like lo
see the select board develop a
position through the community."
A motion to bring the issue to a
public issue was rejected.
"Some people find the banners
confusing because they altribule
them lo the town." said Carolyn
Holstein. a select board member.
Tony Curt, a resident of the
Amherst area, said he appreciates
the steps the board is taking, but
he also said that he doesn't like
the idea of banning the banner.
There used lo be a "Secret
Santa" on the UMass campus, but
a lot of kids complained that it
was too much a symbol of
Christianity and it was eliminated.
Curt said. He added thai a similar
fate befell the Christmas tree at
the lones Library when someone
complained.
"Amherst, with UMass. should
not be an antiseptic town." Curl
said. "I've seen a lot of banners
that got my skin going, but it
would be a lot worse if they
weren't there to do that."
Other banners which have
received complaints have been
those sponsored by both the
Pro-Life and Pro-Choice move-
ments. Boss said.
"Don't banners reflect and ani
mate the thought of the communi-
ty?" said Mary McDonald, a
Northampton pro-life advocate.
"This is the kind of 'duller' that
keeps us free."
She added she believes people
don't suffer from editorials, and
described life without the banner
as being "so dull, and so oppres-
sive."
"She's rather articulate, bul she
didn't gel it." Boss said "No one
on the select board was attempt-
ing to censor pro life messages "
The issue over the banners was
not resolved, no further action
was announced
Financial Problems
The Town ol Amherst Regional
School is just one of many finan-
cial burdens which the Town of
Amherst must deal with in the
years to come.
Other projects which must be
accounted for include the con-
struction of a new town hall and.
further down the line, a new ele-
mentary school.
To help meet with the costs of
these projects, a revised version of
the len percent financial plan was
presented lo the Select Board im
Monday.
"It's an excellent plan." Boss
said "It will in fact plan for the
future, instead of just for today
like we usually do."
The basic idea of the plan is to
lake ten percmt of the towns bud
get, which would have been used
anyway, and place it in a reserve
fund which will provide the city
with financial security in the years
to come.
"If the town didn't use this
money, other groups would press
for it and it would be hard lo say
no," Boss said.
The proposed plan will force
the city to forego growth, but will
maintain the most pressing needs,
said Bryan C. Harvey, the
Chairman of the Select Board
The plan was passed by a unan-
imous vole.
Another financial problem
which indirectly faces Amherst is
the lack of funding for the
Amherst regional school
"Under the new state educa-
tional reformat, the minimum
amount each town has to come up
in order lo reach the stale require-
ment has been redefined." Boss
said.
Shutesbury is among the towns
which sends students to the
schiKil. and under the redefinition
the town is required to pay an
extra $73,000 along with the
money it had already allocated to
the school. Boss said
He added that Shutesbury must
now pass a new budget lo come
up with the money that the stale is
requiring them to pay
Due lo fhe fact that the town
has only a population of around
2.00U. this additional payment
could have a tremendous impact
on that towns taxpayers
No action was taken on this
issue, although funds from the len
percent plan could possibly go
towards these financial areas as
well

Repairs needed at New Africa House
By Chris Conner
Collegian Staff
A single fan. eight inches in diameter, serves as the
ventilation for a New Africa House room 1 2 by 14 feet
in area in which the ceiling is coaled with soot from
congested air.
Despite repeated requests for repairs to his work-
shop, most imporliintly the fan. Professor Dorrance
Hill said he has not been obliged by the University of
Massachusetts administration.
Last February. Hill said he was promised University
officials that he would receive ii icplaccnient for the
badly ciiling fan. which Hill said begins lo squeak and
become overworked minutes into its use
Hill has iilready had lo cancel one of his two welding
sections because of the ventilation difficulties, which
he said to his knowledge does not pose a serious threat
to the health of students.
"I have one section of welding now." he said. "And
because of the vent, every now and then, we slop class
to let the air out."
A new fun design which Hill said he gladly accepted
was offered lo him shortly alter the administrative visit
last semester, during which Chancellor David K. Scott.
his fellow administrators and Environmental Health
and Safety representatives surveyed the entire building.
That design was described by Hill as having
"robot -like arms" which ran from a larger external fan
to the two work stations inside the workshop.
According to Hill, the long awaited equipment was
supposed lo be installed over the course of the sum
mer. but never was.

Holocaust survivors seeking restitution
By Poul Ames
Associated Press
BRUSSELS. Belgium - The
United States, appealing for quick
action to help the few remaining
Holocaust survivors, joined lewish
groups Wednesday in appealing to
Eastern European nations to return
properly seized during Nazi occupa-
li(m.
"One of the first priorities is to see
that income can be given lo these
survivors so they can live their
remaining lives in some degree of
grace, without poverty." said U.S.
envoy Stuart Eizenstal.
He spoke at a meeting organized
by the World lewish Restitution
Organization.
Hungary and Rumania have
signed agreements that should open
the way lo a return of lewish proper-
ly, said Eizenstal. U.S. ambassador
to the European Union (EU). He
said the United Slates is trying to
convince other governments to fol-
low suit.
Since the collapse of the Soviet
Bloc, lewish groups have been lobby-
ing to recover properly and buildings
such as synagogues, schools and hos-
pitals confiscated by the Nazis and
later taken over by Communist
regimes.
They also want millions of dollars
placed in Swiss bank accounts by
jews killed in the Nazi genocide, and
money stolen by the Nazis and placed
in secret Swiss accounts.
Edgar Bronfman, president of the
World lewish Congress, was sched-
uled lo fly to Switzerland on
Thursday for talks with government
and banking officials
He said Tuesday's announcement
that the Swiss Bankers Association
will instigate new measures to search
for missing lens of millions of dollars
in its members' vaults was a "good
first step "
The efforts to secure a return of
the property have received firm back-
ing from the United States.
lewish leaders want lo see similar
support from the l5nation EU which
has considerable leverage with cen-
tral European nations, many of which
seek EU membership by the end of
the decade.

REAP offers service
far substance abusers
By David LaFontana
Collegian CorresporxJent
Many students treat drinking as
if they are going to class, and as a
result soon find themselves drink-
ing toti much.
For students who feel they need
help, the University offers The
Residential Education Alcohol
Program (REAP), located on the
fifth floor of lohn Quincy Adams
Residence Hall.
The program is designed to
educate and counsel students
about drug and alcohol abuse, and
also provides information con-
cerning sexually-iransmiiied dis-
eases.
For students living in the
dorms, REAP tries to give a stem
helping hand as a penalty for
being caught with alcohol. If a
Residential Assistant (RA) catches
a student drinking, that individual
may have to pay $50 and spend
nine hours meeting with counsel-
lors.
The Program's director, Sandra
Whitcomb, said she is eager to
show there is much more offered
by REAP.
"Our goal is to help the stu-
dents, not punish them," she said.
The program works to help the
students realize that college drink-
ing can lead to serious health risks
later in life.
"It is true that binge drinking is
common for college students,"
Whitcomb said. "In this environ-
ment, it seems like everybody is
drinking a lot, and many outgrow
Whitcomb defined "binge"
drinking as consuming more than
five drinks at one time.
"What many students believe is
that, after working ail week,
drinking heavily only on the week-
ends is setting a precedent for
yourself." she said. "By doing this,
students are teaching themselves
learned patterns of relaxation."
The student who can drink all
weekend and still work during the
week may find trouble later in life,
according to Whitcomb.
"In the minds of these students,
there is no reason to change their
habits." she said. "They have no
problem functioning, but the alco-
hol will catch up to them."
Whitcomb said she believes the
best way to deal with the students
is not to preach to them. She said
she wants it made clear that the
program works best when the stu-
dents' individual problems are
addressed.
If a student requires further
counselling, the program can
assist in finding further assistance.
Whitcomb said REAP is not
only concerned with keeping stu-
dents healthy, but also with keep-
ing the student in school.
According to the National
Clearinghouse for Alcohol and
Drug information (NCADI), the
heaviest drinkers obtain the low-
est grades, and as many as one
third of students reported miss-
ing classes and/or performing
poorly on tests due to alcohol
and drugs.

Spud virus baclc after 150 years
Eastern America being attacked by new strain of fungus
By ANiton G>imolly
Collegian SlaH
The fungus that killed the Irish potato and imc million
Irish people more than 150 years ago is bdck with a
vengeance. However, this time ii is attacking potato crops
on this side of the Atlantic.
Potatoes were the prime food source for Irish peasants
in the 1800's and responsible for the population increase
from 4.5 million in 18(X) when it was introduced to 8 mil-
lion by 1845. The peasants were eating eight to 14 pounds
a day up until the famine, according to Gail Schumann,
Professor of Plant Pathology and Northern president of
the American Phytopathological Society.
The fungus is important to study for two reasons, said
Schumann. Besides being news again, it is historical as
well as scientiflc.
"It's an interesting story because it has a social aspect
as well as a historical one." Schumann said.
She acknowledged the potato was vital for the Irish
people's existence in 1845 and the English were in a posi-
tion to help but didn't.
"Potatoes are a really important food supply."
Schumann said. "A single potato has a whole day's worth
of Vitamin C. There was always food during the lainine
but it became political."
Schumann explained that food was still being exported
out of Ireland to pay the English landlords while the
famine was killing the Irish people. The fungus had dam
aged the potatoes but the grain crops were Icli untouched
and still flourished.

continued from poge t
what they could do and by when." he said. "Is that
so hard for a University of this size'.'"
At this point. Hill said he has bc*come inurvd to
the reluctance of the University to aid his cause, an
example being the water-weakened floorb\.>ards
beside a drain which he said never worked, and fa--
quently overflows.
However, Hill said the drain is the least of his
worries.
"It's the ventilation that bothers me," he said "I
don't care about the rest of the stuff."
Hill said some of his students are a'ady to come
to his defense, even offering to "picket or do what-
ever they have to do."
Yet. Hill said his patience has worn thinner each
time his requests go ignored.
"|Thc repairs) are something before I go," he
said. "How many more years can I get out of leach
ing-'"
The Irish people depended on the potatoes while they
sold the grain to their English landlords. Therefore when
the blight struck, they were forced to starve in order to
pay back their indifferent rulers This further divided the
Knglish from the Irish, and contributes to the struggle that
persists today.
Schumann also pointed out that this was the first lime
the disease was proven to be a fungus. 15 years before
Pasteur's germ theory.
Contrary to popular belief, the original famine was not
causc-d by a drought. The disease festered in very wet and
rainy conditions, traditionally Irish weather.
Consequently, Irish scientists were unaware that the
cause of the crop failure was due to a fungus Originally,
they believed that the rotting of the plants caused the dis
ease. We now know that the rotting was caused by the
fungus itself.
The Irish farmers were left helpless as ihey watched
their potato plants rot and blamed themselves for the pun-
ishment obviously sent from God.
The Irish are currently experiencing an unusually dry
period, with no rainfall for the last few months. The origi
nal famine of 1845 began as a dry season as well, and was
followed by rainy weather and cool temperatures, provid-
itig incubating conditions for the thriving disease.
The fungus that is ravaging crops today is a new strain
ol the one that destroyed the Irish crops in 1845. called
Phylophthora infcstans. or 'plant destroyer."
"The Irish potato fungus originated in South America,
in the Andes," Schumann said. "The new strain is Irom
Mexico, land) it's much worse."
America has not been spared. The parts of the country
now being attacked by the new strain aa- New York and
Pennsylvania, according to Schumann.
"People Itherej have experienced ItX) percent Iwses."
Schumann said. "Here, we had a drought in August so we
didn't have to worry ... people ought to think about
where their food comes from."
Schumann said China is currently the largest potato
producer in the world. She worries that if the polato
crops continue to die, imports will become expensive and
poor people will suffer the most.
"As a world we must learn to diversify our crops."
Schumann said. "This is something scientists have been
saying for years, but the message doesn't seem to be get-
ting through."

Young
his semester ! finish the last of
my General Education
requirements. I figured I'd
take an easy class, and since it had to
have a behavioral science designa-
tion. I chose Political Science 101.
Sounds unstimulating enough, right?
How much thinking would I really be
doing surrounded by at least a hun-
dred freshman who have little to no
idea what college classes are like, let
alone appreciate the slim workload of
an intro class?
But. alas. I was
fooled. I went to the
class on Monday,
and 1 actually ended
up using my brain. I
tripped upon an idea that I thought I
would never hear in a classroom.
-All men are not created equal.
When I heard the teacher say that.
I was amazed. It seems like some-
thing I had been taught to believe all
my life had been turned upside down.
But It made sense — of course all
men are not created equal. If we
were, we would all be clones of one
another I would lcx>k. artd think, and
act just like every other student on
campus. Ever>one has their differ-
ences. I'm taller than some, shorter
than others. I'm smaner than some,
dumber than others.
So. we are not really equal, but
lefferson didn't mean for us to take it
in such a literal sense In fact he even
goes on to say what he probably real-
ly means is that all humans have cer-
tain rights to certain things (life, lib-
erty and the pursuit of happiness, for
example), and are all equal in that
sense.
So. all men really aren't created
equal, but all men are equal accord-
ing to the basic rights we all have.
Now. I could go off on a long and
nasty diatribe about how lefferson
owned slaves and didn't really follow
his own writings in practice, and
about how the only people who were
really equal back then were while
males in the middle and upper class-
es, and about how women had no
power at all. and were only good
wives to the men. But I
won't, because we've ali
heard it before and no
matter how much bitch-
ing we do about the past
evils of the white man it
won't change history. Su I'll just skip
over all of that
■^'ou see. because of Political
Science 101. I have started thinking
in new directions. If all men aren't
really equal, then all men shouldn't
be allowed those wonderful self- evi-
dent rights that lefferson preached.
In other words, if I'm better than
you. I should have more rights, thus,
more perks than you. Examples:
Anyone with an I.Q. less than 100
should pay more to see movies than
anyone with an I.Q of more than
100. We should all carry around spe-
cial I.Q. cards, just so the people at
the ticket window would know how
much to charge. This doesn't not
only apply to movies, but everything
else that people fwy for.
Good basketball players should be
allowed to play basketball at any time
during the day. and if crappy basket-
ball players are on the court, ihey
should immediately stop and spec-
tale.
Good students should pay nothing
for books. The higher your GP.A. the
less you pay for textbooks If you get
a 4.0. your books are free. Goc)d stu-
dents should also get into any class
they want. Particularly bad students
should be sent into the army and
then overseas to fight our wars.
Good drivers should be given nice
cars and be allowed to drive any-
where, on or off any road. Bad dri-
vers should not be given cars at all.
but they should get old crappv tricv-
cles.
Ugly guys would not be allowed to
have good-looking girlfriends, and
vice versa. Nor would dorky guys be
allowed to have cool girlfriends. In
fact, only guys just like me and my
friends would be allowed to have
girlfriends at all.
Finally, at age 17. everyone should
be given a drunk test. We should all
have to drink a six pack on our 1 7th
birthdays, and whoever acts like a
drunken tool should never be
allowed to touch alcohol again. We
should give these tools all of the mar-
ijuana to smoke, and make them
smoke every day until their brains
turn black. They should also have to
listen to Phish all day.
Not everyone has been created
equal. We all have our gifts of intelli-
gence, physique and other things that
set us apart. Since we are all differ-
ent, different rights and allowances
should be proWded for us by the gov-
ernment. All men are equal, but some
are more equal than others.

Learning the qualities of being a leader
Lisa Chiu
Five days Five days filled with events, instruction
and lifelong lessons. The annual Student
Leadership Conference, this year being number
seven, proved to be so much more than what the pro-
gram booklet described it to be Its primary goal was
"to provide |the student leader] with the opportunities
to get to know each other." and to get "a better idea of
how the University functions and thus facilitating an
easier f>aih through the maze.' ^^^^_^^_^_^
OK. I'll admit it. I was among
the 118 illustrious student leaders
that attended this twisted event
exactly one week before the rest of
the School got here. What did we
do'' Well, students from various
Registered Student Organizations
iRSQi and .Agencies signed on to
learn from workshops about nifty
little things like facilitating meet-
ings, time management, signature
responsibility, etc.
But there was definitely more than just workshops
going on. We got to hear from $5 million man himself.
Coach Cal. as he spoke on leadership Hey. he even
gave us all free T- shirts. If you happen to see anyone
around campus with a big letter Y on the front of their
shins. Slop and shake their hand, they just might be
your student leader.
We got to go to Riverside Park, we partied every
night, we learned how to meringue, and for some, to
do tequila shots. In fact, the week was almost like a
summer camp, how people met each other In true
summer camp fashion, we ended this junket with a
great big semi-formal bash. The men and women
looked gorgeous, the food, which Campus Center
catering did. as well as all the meals that week, was
delicious. The event was rightfully called. "The Big
Dinner."
In the eyes of most everyone in attendance, it was
great. Those five days became an excellent example of
the power of psychology. Students were given a great
big mental promotion. They may have been ordinary
coeds before the event, but they left as "Student
Leaders." Superheros beware.
Dan Rivera's speech at "The Big Dinner" began with
a list of historical student-led movements such as the
Civil Rights Movement, Kent State. The Student
Nonviolent Ccwrdinating Council. Tiannamen Square
and many more. He said the students involved in these
movements were our peers. Wait a second, our peers?
In one minute. 118 UMass students from RSO's and
Agencies became syTionymous with movements from
which people sacrificed everything for what they
believed in. movements from which people were will-
ing to and did risk their lives for. Movements which
they believed in so much, that they died for them.
Here we wen:, made to believe that we were a part
of similar movements Rivera's speech ended with the
same listing of movements, this time intermingled with
names of various students present at the dinner. His
final words were, "know thai you are in great compa-
ny."
So by learning about signature responsibility, and by
going to Riverside park, we managed to be company to
Thty may have been ordi-
nary coeds before the e\'cnt.
but they left as 'Student
Leaders. ' Superheros
beware.
As if we have done anything remotely comparable to
what those great leaders in history have done.
We. a fraction of the student population at UMass
were a pan of an event that taught us how to become
young bureaucrats. .At "The Big Dinner." students were
put together at tables with administrators, faculty and
staff The crowd before dinner consisted of young stu-
dents who dropped names, exchanged telephone num-
^^^___^_^^ bers and discussed various issues
of campus politics — everyone was
working the room. If fact it was
almost as if the dinner was the
debut, the coming-out ball, to
intrcKJuce the campus higher-ups
to us young debutantes. At dinner
we showed them just how much
we learned in those five days to
become exactly like them.
The Student Leadership
Conference taught us how to play
the game, granted that's one way to get what you want,
but we weren't even given a choice. We may have
learned how to plan events and schedule buildings but
we also learned the fine an of compromise, other^vise
knowTi as selling out. We learned how to do and oper-
ate exactly as our University dyyes and operates, with
the same insider-wins, outsider- looses mentality. We
learned how to pull the right strings to get what we
wanted, and most importantly we learned how to iso-
late ourselves from the people we were trying to repre-
sent, if even for a little while. I'll tell you that there
were times, like Riverside Park for example, that I
didn't even think about what organization I belonged
to and represented.
Throughout the conference I was bombarded with
sayings like. "Come on. you're a student leader, you
can do it!" There was constant reinforcement of this
attitude. Everywhere we went we were reminded of
how much of a Student Leader we were.
I don't know exactly were the money came from to
fund this event, but you can bet that in the end 17.(X)0
undergraduates paid for a five-day. money -no-object,
extravaganza for 1 18 individuals, er. I mean Student
Leaders.
Somewhere along the way we forgot the qualities we
believed made us student leaders were present in
everyone else in the University and in the world. There
are students that would never have attended such a
conference because they can't afford the time or the
money to get involved. Success in graduating and dili-
gence in .Academics are what makes them leaders.
There are individuals that would never be called stu-
dents, let alone leaders. They arc the young men and
women that can't and probably never can afford to
even attend our University, but each day they are con-
tributing to their families and to their communities.
Somewhere along the way. we forgot that real power
comes not from who you know, but from knowing
what it is you're fighting for. If we can't be real and
candid when we are l*) years old and in college, when
the hell are we going to be? We have our whole lives
to sell out to bureaucracy, why now. when what we
have to say is so genuine? Why now. when we're hon-
est?

Opinion/Editorial
Taking a stand on domestic violence
It had all the makings of an all tcw familiar story The
star athlete abuses his wife or girlfriend, spends a few
days on the news arid then resumes his playing career
while the domestic violence is shoved under the rug
Nebraska running back Lawrence
Phillips appeared to have it all. He was the
top returning player on the defending
National Champion Comhuskers and was
treated like a vinual god on campus. His
path to the Heisman and eventually the
NFL appeared to be pretty clear ones. He
must have believed there was nothing in
the way of him getting what he wanted.
So early Sunday morning, less than 24
hours after the No. 2 nationally-ranked
Cornhuskers. led by Phillips' four touch-
downs, drubbed Michigan State, the star
runner was arrested for a assaulting a woman
Under the all-encompassing phrase "assault." while
Phillips' crime seems bad. it dc^sn't give the true depic-
tion of w hat he did.
According to police. Phillips climbed into the house
through a third-Hoor window, grabbed his ex-giHfriend
and dragged her down a fiight of stairs, before on-lookers
finally restrained him.
While the scene is an ugly one. it sadly no longer fright-
ens us.
Phillips probably assumed that he. like so many others,
would be let off. because "Hey. he's Lawrence Phillips."
Not this time. Finally someone took a stand.
Nebraska coach Tom Osboume pulled the ultimate in
rarities in college sports. He put doing the right thing
ahead of doing the winning thing.
"We have told all our players that abusive behavior
such as this will not be tolerated." Osboume caid in a
press conference.
Osboume's step is a ground-breaking one.
George Washington University decided Richie Parker's
basketball abilities outweighed the fact that he was a con-
victed rapist. The Colonials continued to recruit Parker
until pressure from alumni and faculty finally caused them
to back off.
Closer to home, guard-strapped |ohn Calipari encour-
aged Andrc Burks to return to UMass despite
his domestic violence arrest.
Tom Osboume bucked a trend. Now if only
the rest of the NCAA, and the pro leagues as
well, would follow suit.
Women-beaters are a worse scar on spons
than drug abusers could ever be. Drug-addic-
tion is a disease and the abuser is the only vic-
tim.
In domestic violence cases, these men who
routinely spar off against 300-pound behe-
moths are taking out their anger on women.
The time is now for the NCAA and the four
■•,j;cr professional sports leagues to adopt severe sweep-
ing penalties to deter their athletes from even considering
domestic abuse.
The first time a player is convicted of domestic violence
should merit a one-year suspension. For the professional
athlete, that would be a year without pay, and for the col-
legiate athlete, a loss of a scholarship.
If that doesn't deter them, a second offense would
result in banishment. While that may sound severe, it is
justifiable when you consider the severity of the pain and
fear their victims have endured. The threat of having
their athletic careers taken away from them woulH be
frightening enough to scare a lot of potential bat'erers
off.
This would be a tough pill to swallow for any of the
leagues if it means losing their star players, but being a
great athlete pales by comparison in importance to just
being a good person.
While Osboume may not hold a trophy high this sea-
son, he will be able to hold his head high. He did the right
thing.

Losing the right to destiny
Patrick
Belizaire
We all lose. We lose games.
we lose money and. of
course, loved ones.
Growing up black you learn to lose,
you learn to lose friends, especially.
Every particular time and space
freezes forever, at the point in which
you hear the news of a friend's death
or even someone you knew.
The time I walked
into the convenience
store freezes in my
mind, and the time I
was sitting in front
of the community
gym, and most recently and so many
times before, in the black barber's
chair.
The black barber's chair is the
\pu- York Times of the black com-
munity and the Larry King of local
news: it brings laughter, gossip,
debates, anger, pwin. despair and too
often tears — tears that could not
come easy when the words so care-
lessly spilled out of the barber's
mouth. "Yeahl he was killed this
morning at 4:00 am."
That day I paid no mind because
those words often reverberated in
this vicinity, then I heard "yeah, he
was sure to go pro, and was about to
go back to Cleveland State." At that
moment, my heart sank, like one who
is in a roller coaster and the ascen-
sion to the very top has arrived, and
boom you drop, your heart in your
throat, and you just hope for the
best.
I opened my mouth and it came
out. "who got killed at 4:00 a.m. this
morning?"
"lamal lackson. Killed 4:00 a.m.
this morning." The barber said the
words with pity, yet with inevitabili-
ty, as well. I got a sick feeling in my
stomach, and all that could come out
of my mouth was. "oh man. that's Pd
up." And it was.
I could not think of anything else
except for the feeling of being cheat-
ed that was so apparent in all of me.
Like someone who had been Icxyking
forward to a trip and left early to
catch the only bus to get there, and
just as they arrived the bus had
pulled off and they missed the whole
trip. There is no other alternative but
to go home.
My trip was to see
someone I knew, some-
one I had watched and
that I had talked to. go
on to make it to the top
— ultimately playing in the NBA.
lamal was shooting straight for the
top. sure to be drafted to the NBA.
but he had his life snuffed right from
him. Someone cheated him out of
his dream, cheated his mother and
father out of their dream, as well as
the rest of his friends and family.
"Every man gotta right to decide
his own destiny and in this judgement
there is no partiality." The words of
Bob Marley came to me as I thought
about the theft of a life and lamal's
destiny, I thought about it, "could I
kill someone if I was mad enough''" I
would like to say no. but then again I
have been mad enough to kill.
I pondered once again. No. I could
not. because I always step back and
re -evaluate the situation.
That is the difference between
those who are sane and insane, those
who respect life and those who don't.
I know that I am not the latter of
either.
I watched the news and I saw the
brother who turned himself in. He
made a statement that disgusted me.
"I loved lamal. loo." I cannot under-
stand his audacity in saying this. I
wanted to ask him how he could say
that when he look the one thing that
no one. not even his mother who
gave it to him. can lake — his life. He
went and decided his destiny, I was
angry, and hated him.
As I cooled down and thought
about the young man's predicament.
I realized that not just one life has
been lost, but rather two lives. One is
gone from this life, but the other is
gone from this society, into a world
ol limbo and insanity. For every
brother that loses his mortality to
another, the other looses his sanity to
the while system of destruction.
I do not know when this is all
going to slop — this madness that is
eating our souls and imprisoning our
sanity. I do not know if it will ever
slop. But what I do know is I am for-
luiuile I am fortunate to be alive,
lorlunale lo be on the path that I
chose, anil lorlunale to be the deci-
sion nuikcr of my own destinv.

^^the fine arts center celebrates 20 years of art,
theater, concerts, baUet and sheer entertainment"
Taking a look at the upcoming season's events
By Seemo Gangotirfcar
Collegian StoH
The Fine Arts Center celebrates its 20th season
this year with many new and exciting events.
Promotional items <uch as special logos, note
cards, mugs, t shirts and new artwork prints high-
light the celebration.
In a statement relating to the anniversary, FAC
director Dr. Fred Tillis says, "For me, it is a time
for refiection and review of the philosophy, pur-
pose and meaning of the arts in the lives of all the
people who are served or touched in some way by
the many activities of the Fine Arts Center."
According to Shawn Farley, director of market-
ing, the FAC will present "a new vision and it'll be
interesting." The FAC coordinates events at the
Hampden Gallery, Bowker Auditorium, University
Gallery as well as the theaters and recital halls
within the FAC itself.
Major facilities include the Concert Hall, the
Rand and Curtain Theaters. Bezanson Recital Hall,
the University Art Gallery as well as classrooms,
practice rooms and Faculty office.
Upcoming events
The Broadway musical. Crazy For You. will be
one of the first events featured at the Concert Hall
this season. The tribute to Gershwin's mucic has
won several Tony awards and will definitely be a
treat.
Among the events coming to the FAC will be
Chesapeake, a band that has created its own style
called newgrass, a combination of country, folk
and bluegrass. The band "represents u new depar-
ture" from the usual classical style artists usually
presented by the Center according to Farley, She
said emerging artists such as Christian McBride,
Alison Brown and Nicholas Paylon would be fea
lured this year.
Another event that will prove to be exciting iv
the upcoming Guitar .Summit, showcasing come nl
the gicalecl talents on guitar. I'he coinbinalion ol
jazz, classical, folk blues and rixk styles should be
interesting.
More on the jazzy side, Cassandra Wilson. whi>
will perform at Bowker Auditorium in Nnvenibii

Interview with center's programming director
By Laura Stock
Collegian Stoff
Another addition has been made to the Fine Arts
Center amidst all of the special events occurring as
part of its 20th Anniversary Celebration — this one
taking the form of a new programming director.
loyce Smar arrived in Amherst three weeks ago.
with'her husband and 1 1-year old daughter, to assume
the position as the new Fine Arts Centers program-
ming director. The position was formerly held by Steve
Scott Martin, who has recently accepted a position
with an arts organization in North Carolina.
Smar comes to UMass from the Toledo Museum of
Art in Ohio, where she administered the museums
performing arts programs. She also has experience in
the creation and management of a computerized ticket
ing network in Toledo, which served the arts and
entertainment community.
"I was with my former employer for 27 years, and
felt it was time for a change around the same time that
the position at UMass opened, " vSmar says of the career
move. "I had been quite familiar with Central and
Western Massachusetts, and enjoy the atmosphere of
UMass. It is a much more casual but very stimulating
and challenging environment."
Smar also felt, after researching the history of the
position at the FAC, that it would be a good environ-
ment for her family as well as her work, and has
worked out quite nicely for them.
Applying her family's philosophy of striving to
"improve, succeed and enjoy " to her work, she hopes
to maintain, if not enhance, the high quality of perfor-
mances that have taken place at the FAC.
Smar's approach lo taking the new position involves
getting to know people in the community, researching
the past and finding ways lo improve the future.
"I guess I see it as more of a constant evolution of
what will happen in the future There have been some
very wonderful past events in programming and atten-
dance, and there have been others that could use some
improvement."
"We are always finding ways to meet the challenges
of audiences, artists, art forms and the community, so
pushing all of that forward is what I want to do." Smar
said.
There are a number of special events planned for the
20th anniversary, but Smar is most excited about the
new low student admission price of $5.
"I think for a $5 ticket, one can experiment, as a stu-
dent, with events that you don't know if you would
like or not," Smar said.
.Smar and the other FAC direclorc hope that by low-
ering the admission price, students will be willing to go
to events that are not necessarily part of their back-
ground.
The reduction in ticket cost was not the result of any
outside funding. In fact, it is a risk on the part of the
FAC.

A half century late, the story of
Tuskegee's 'Kedlail Angels" —
known lor the red stripe painted on
their aircraft tails — is finally being
told in the mainstream, through the
Miami museum exhibit and a recent
HBO movie.
It's a story that should have been
written in all elementary school his-
tory books, but wasn't Hv war's
end. '♦bb black men had gone
through flight training at a dust)
airstrip in rural Tuskegee. Ala . and
completed 1.578 escort missions
over Italy. Oermany and .North
Africa. They lost 62 men in combat,

Sweet surprises from Sugar
Sugar^s newest release collects rarities plus a lot more
By AAik* Burice
Collegian Staff
SUGAR
Besides
Rykodisc
Bob Mould and his friends in Sugar sure have a lot
of tricks up their well-worn sleeves. Since forming the
band in 1992, Mould and company have released two
full lengths, one full EP and numerous CD singles.
Besides is his newest release and it compiles many
songs that were previously available only on the CD
singles. Boring, huh?
Yeah maybe, but there is more, lots more. The first
pressing of the CD came with a bonus live disc of a full
Sugar show recorded in Mould's hometown of
Minneapolis last year. It is packed with over 75
utes of guitar orgies and bubblegum pop melodies.
Among the standout tracks are "Changes." "If 1 Can't
Change Your Mind" and "Helpless." Sugar is an excel-
lent live band and this disc shows them at their peak.
In the studio Mould just can't capture the energy he
puts out night after night when he is on the road.
Although it may lack the awesomeness of their live
show, the regular released CD Besides gives a pleasant
listen but lots of the stuff has been around for a while
and many Sugar fans will already know it. The opening
track "Needle Hits E" is one of Mould's lost classics and
it may be the best pop sung the band has done to date.
One nice feature of the CD is it features four songs
written by bassist David Barbe who is always the for-
gotten member of the band, lust take a listen to
"Where the Diamonds Are Halos" and you will hear
Barbe's gift of simple but catchy sungwriting.
As if releasing a bonus live CD was not enough, the
band managed to include a hidden video! That's
COUtTIST HWO DISC
Sugar Besides
right, a hidden video, lust put the Besides CD in a
CD-rom and you will be able to watch the video for
"Gee Angel* on your personal computer. Pretty amaz-
ing, huh?
Amazing describes Mould best as he really is a musi-
cal and creative genius. Ever since his days with
Huskcr Du. Mould has been reshaping the sound of
the rock world. Musically. Besides covers no new
ground for the band but it outshines all those spoiled
pseudo punk band who owe a large portion of their
major label contract to Mr. Mould. A-

launched in 1941 to irain more
pilots to combat advancing German
troops. Eleanor Roosevelt, the
NAACP and newspaper editors also
had mounted a campaign to admit
blacks into what was — and ''ill i.s
— considered an elite sector of the
armed forces.
"The establishment called it the
Tuskegee Experiment," recalled I.eo
Gray, 71 of Miami, a Tuskege: p:lot
who donated photographs and some
|:«rsonal artifacts ic the exhibit. "We
call it the Tuskegee experience."
Camilleri. 79, and Eldridge
Williams. 78, a retired Air Force lieu-
tenant colonel who trained at
Tuskegee, recently visited the Weeks
museum, walking among the case>'
containing oil goggles, gloves, model
airplanes and postcards.
Camillcr noticed a picture of him-
self and some of his students, stand-
ing on the Tuskegee airsirip in front
of a P-51 He recalled the day he
learned he had bcx'n assigned to teach
at a nearby airfield that later became
the Tuskegee school.
"It was the 1959 World's Fair, in
New York," he said. "I was working
for a private Hight school. Hying pas-
sengers for $5 to see the exhibit.
"An inspector recommended me to
Tuskegee. Next thing I knew. I had a
train ticket to Tuskegee. Ala. in the
mail. I'd never been out of Brooklyn.
My mother, she said. "What's a
Tuskegee''' I said. I don't know, but
we'll find out.'"
Eldridg: Williams, who went to
Tuskegee in 1942, recalled an inci-
dent similar to one cited in the
HBO special "The Tuskegee
Airmen," in which military police
removed liim from the train he was
riding allegedly for drunk and disor-
derly conduct.
"I don't even drink,* Williams
said as the memories of segregation
in rural Alabama came back to him
amid all the Tuskegee relics. He said
he had refused to show his orders to
a private who was rude to him. The
reprimand is still in his file.

Chill Peppers' red hot funk is hack
By Woyken Shaw
Collagian Staff
THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS
One Hot Minute
Warner Bros. Records
Trials and tribulations have always plagued the Red
Hot Chili Peppers, perhaps none as long and tedk>us as
the last three years. While it took a mere year to regroup
after the tramatic death of original guitarist Hillel Slovak,
the departure of John Frusciante (the guitar behind the
band's finest hour. Mother's Milk and
BloodSugarSexMagik) in 1992 was a harder void to fill.
When ex-lane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro was
announced as the latest addition to the Chili Pepper fold
in '93. things slowly evolved, musically, while hype of this
union quickly made its way throughout the music world.
With the Chili Peppers already at megastar level and
lane's Addiction's ascension to legendary status in the
four years sirKe their demise, the ensuing album from this
supergroup of sorts was highly-anticipated for some time.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity of delays, from
the band's identity crisis to Anthony Kiedis' bout with
writer's bkxk. One Hot Minute is available to the public.
lane's meets the Chili Peppers isn't exactly accurate but
comes real close on many an occasion. Navarro's amor-
phous, prog-rock playing has definitely found its presence
into the Peppers' highly-energized funk delivery and actu-
ally bears a striking resemblance to Uplift Mofo Party
Plan, the most metal of Chili Pepper albums.
Much like lane's Addiction's more ambitious pieces
("Three Days," "Then She Did"), "Deep Kick" and "One
Big Mob* display such progressive pretensions in its
multi- sectional structures, from chunks of skewed funk
to dreamy soundscapes to ugly metallic grooves. This,
fused with Kiedis' white boy rapping, has created, not so
much one, but several new sounds into the Pejjpcrs' pas-
tiche.
More along the lines of traditional Chili Peppers is
couariST wMNM turn
One Hot Minute
"Awoplane." an ode to the magic of music, that offers up
a good summation uf the band's I 3 year existence ("I like
pleasure spiked with pain. Music is my aeroplane"). With
Rea's slap-happy bass intact and Navarro sticking to the
funk, it's very much reminiscent of the Chili Peppers of
old
Other highlights include "My Friends." a Tom Petty-ish
ballad likely to do what 'Under the Bridge" did for
BloodSugarSexMagik . and "Transcending." a song rich in
colors and emotions to give an apt tribute to the late River
Phoenix.
One Hot Minute has a few quirks ("Warped") but
nonetheless offers up a fresh look at the ongc>ing saga of
the Red Hut Chill Peppers A-

Harriet showcase at Bay State
Indie rock show on Saturday with Tully Craft , Tizzy & More
B/ Mike Burke
Collegian Staff
While Letters to Cleo and the Mighty Mighty BosMones
shamefully steal all the music press in Boston, a little
record label named after a child's book, is releasing some
ol the most interesting pop records around. Run by a
Harvard professor. Harriet Records has consistently put
out slab alter slab of delicious seven inch vinyl for over
live years. This Saturday night at the Bay Stale, there will
be a Harriet showcase featuring two of the labels bcsx
bands. Tully Craft and \'ehicle Flips.
With ihe unfortunate breakup of the Seattle band
Crayon, two members formed Tully Craft . While Crayon
mixed punk rock noise with pure pop melodies. Tully
Craft concentrates on the softer side of things. Their song
on a recent Harriet compilation. "Pop Songs "lour .New
Boyfriends Too Stupid To Know About" may be the fun-
niest and catchiest song of the year. Also impressive is
iheir debut smgle on Harriet featuring the song "True
Blue' which owes credit to the Material Girl herself.
E,\pcct great things from Vehicle Flips as well. Hailing
Irom Pittsburgh this band lacks the energy of Tully Craft
but makes up for it with well crafted songs. Also this
band features ex-members of Wimp Factor 14. a band
that was confused with Guns N Ruses. Expect to hear lots
of songs from their upcoming debut full length on
Harriet.
The local scene will be represented by Northampton
heroes Tizzy. Ever since their superb single on Chunk ear-
lier this year, the band has been gaining the recognition
they so rightfully deserve. With an upcoming single on
Pop Narcotic due out any day now. the band should be
catapulted into the national spotlight as one of the area's
brighiesi stars. As a live band they rival anyone, except
the Boredoms, for exertion of energy. It is not uncommon
to see the bassist. |oel, jumping around in the crowd,
while playing a guitar >ulo.
And llnally Skylab will open up. Featuring Pat Maley,
the famed owner of Yo-Yo studios in Olympia. the band
is on lour for the fir^t time.
With this stellar lineup, the Bay State should be packed
with pop fans from all over. Both Tully Craft and Tizzy
are two of the most exciting young bands around and it
should be exciting to see them together in concert. This
Harriet Records show will hopefully give this amazing
label some more attention.
Tully Craft. Vehicle Flips. Ti::y. and Skylab play the
Bay Stale in Sonhampton Saturday night Call the club
for more details.
Tizzy will take the stage at the Bay State this Saturday as part of the Harriet Records showcase.

Directed />y Bceban Kidron
with Patrick Swayze. lohn Leguizamo. Wesley Snipes
Waying a/ Mountain Farms Four
What could be funnier than seeing three of today's most
masculine, lesiosterone-driven men in film today don
dresses, wigs and dance all over the screen to disco
music? Well, a lot of things are funnier than To Wong
Foo. Thanks For Everything, lulie \eumar.
Patrick Swayze as Vida Boheme and Wesley Snipes as
Noxeema Jackson are both crowned Queen in a tie at a
New York City drag contest and win airline tickets to
Holly-wood. California. About to embark on their dream
to work in Tinseltown, the two encounter a crying drag
"princess," Chi Chi Rodriguez (|ohn Leguizamo) who is
confused about what to do with her life. Being the altruis-
tic drag queen she is, Vida offers Chi Chi the opportunity
to come along on their journey and also to educate her so
she can become, after only four steps, a full-fledged drag
queen.
Inspired by an autographed picture of lulie Newmar.
Vida decides the three will drive across country to spread
Newmar's "message." So they hop in a Cadillac and com-
mence a road trip bound to be filled with uproarious
adventures, right? Wrong.
The handsome trio of women toss the map out of the
window, have car trouble and never make il past the dusty
hick town of Snydersville, where the conservative, albeit
problem-filled setting resembles that of a twisted Norman
Rockwell ptainting.
Vida. Noxeema and Chi Chi bring.a pulse back into the
lifeless community. With a splash of color and some
styling tips, they revitalize pallid complexions and hum-

drum social lives. Vida serves as a role model to a tnju-
bled housewife, Noxeema encourages a mute elderly
woman to speak and Chi Chi finds herself a boyfriend.
All of these miraculous acts are just dandy, but how can
we be expected to believe them if our frustration coniinues
to mount because nobody in the bucolic little town seems
to realize that broad-shouldered beauties are really men.
Snipes and Leguizamo are believable as women, but
Swayze utilizes the grace and rhythm he learned in Dirtv
Dancing to play one of his most convincing roles ever
Each have their own occasions to be funny, but the jokes
are delivered slowly and sparsely, so that as the tempo
slows audience interest reduces. Poor direction also fac-
tors in. as it appears Kidron raced through production,
leaving minor errors in scenes that make a difference.
As far as comparisons to the "otfier drag queen movie."
Priscilla Queen of the Desert, the two can only be relalc-d
on the drag queen plot alone. Priscilla dealt more with
emotional problems that the drag queens went through,
while Wong Foo de-emphasizes the social acceptance
aspect and relies more on poking fun at situations where
men are in dresses.
A good concept and an exquisite performance by a
beautiful Patrick Swayze cannot save this flick from just
dragging on. C (L.S.)
THE PROPHESY
Directed by Gregory Wider
with Christopher Walken. Elias Koteas. Eric Stoltz
Playing at Mountain Farms Four
Unlike most bad movies. The Prophesy doesn't appear
to have been ruined by anything. 1 don't feel any desire to
pontificate on how the corrupt Hollywood system
destroyed a potentially good movie. My finger will not
point accu.satorially at a particular actor or scrcx'nwriter
responsible for ruining a noble effort. The Prophesy lacks
anything resembling a fatal flaw — it is all bad. with no
way it could have been improved.
The Prophesy tells the story of Tom (Elias Koteas t - a
typically disheveled police investigator that, forluitouslv.
happens to be an ex-priest. His police work is
business-as- usual, until he is visited by Simon (Fric
Stoltz). who turns out to be a guardian angel dressed in a
sporlsjacket. Simon informs Tom that he is in grave dan
ger. then gracefully leaps out of a window, leaving behind
a mysterious-looking book.
Tom calls upon his clerical training (no pun intended)
and discovers that he is in possession of a previously
undiscovered final chapter of the Hook of Revelations.
This final chapter tells the tale of a war among the angels
in heaven.
Meanwhile. Simon intercepts a malevolent angel
attcmpling to reclaim the book and throws him in to the
path of an oncoming car. The police are conceivably pu/
zled by the oozing black mess left behind by the dead
angel, and (not surprisingly) tall upon Ihe only member of
the police force qualified to investigate incidents involving
dead angels.
While Tom investigates in New York, the setting shifts to
a schoolhouse in a run-down Arizona mining town. A 12
yearold student named Mary runs away frotn her oblivious
teacher (Virginia Madsen) and meets up with Simon. Then
in one of the most unintentk^nally scary scenes of recent
memory. Simon gives Mary a full-on-the mouth kiss and
runs oil. That evening. Mary falls ill.
Sound convoluted enough? Hold on to your rosaries,
filmgocrs — it gets worse; soon alter, another snappily-
dresscd angel appears m Arizona. This angel is played by
Christopher Walken, an actor who appears to have set his
sights upon Dennis Hopper's status as A-lisi bogeyman.
Decorated effeminately in cheap facecake and eyeshadow,
Walkens angel looks ridiculously like a David Lynch
interpretation of lonathan Pryce's pimp in Miss Saigon.
Walken's angel hums down Simon, and introduces him-
self as Gabriel. Gabriel offers Simon an opportunity to
join "the dark side." and bums Simon to a crisp when his
offer is rejected.
In Ihe Prophesy. God. Satan, angels, cops, zombies and
Native American spirits are all treated with varying
degrees of ineptitude The Prophesy showed me the won
ders of the universe and made it appear boring.
The events in The Prophey; lacked any type of logical
consistency or congruence All a film has K> do is to some-
how create a plausible explanation for the events. Usual
that means resorting to lots of pseudo-technical mumbo
jumbo and commanding good performances from the
actors (sec any Spielberg movie to sec this done masterful

Those responsible for The Prophesy apF>arenlly consider
themselves above such explanations, bixause none were
given. The performers appear acutely aware they are in a
stinker, and look as bored as the audience. Even the spc

Last Saturday about 25 students

dents got to meet the rock stars,
and some of the luckier ones were
clued into the existence of an
upcoming full-dress rehearsal by
Trent Rcznor himself.
The band rented the Mullins
Center to perfect iheir stage show
for their upcoming tour. They are
opening for rock god David Bowie
throughout the tour, beginning
tonight at the Meadows Music
Theatre in Hartford. Apparently,
David Bowie is a big fan of Trent
Reznor and invited him to tour.
Needless to say, Reznor accepted
and thus the birth of 'The Outside
Tour 1995."
While a large percmtage of cam-
fws was at the home opener for the
UMass football team, a handful of
students were waiting in the drizzle
with hopes of getting into the
Mullins Center. Around I p.m.,
sounds of amplified instruments
being tested were barely audible in
the back parking lot behind the
center. Security's denials to our
access requests were bringing down
our morale. We began asking for
help frvm bus drivers, Mullins jani-
tors, stray dogs and any other
Mullins people who would listen.
Around an hour later, a large
tour bus pulled up: it was the
entire Nine Inch Nails band, in ihc
flesh. After our pleas to Ihe hand
members were acknowledged but
deflected away, finally Trent
Reznor himself was asked. He
immediately uttered the magic
words. "Uh yeah. sure, okay." The
manager of the band came over
and told us it would be a long
wait, but he assured us that we
would gel inside.
The celebration began immedi-
ately. High fives and cries of "Oh
my god!" went on for what
seemed like an eternity. We wail-
ed till 5 p.m. before Ihe manager
came back to bring us inside. The
Mullins Center was empty except
for the stage, staff and chairs
placed in Ihe middle of the floor
for us. We were told that Nine
Inch Nails and David Bowie were
going to play their sets exactly the
way they will be in concert, com-
plete with light effects, full vol-
ume and a lot of heart.
Trent Reznor gave us a short
greeting on stage, turned his back
on us. and seconds later Nine Inch
Nails was rocking the house much
harder than on Iheir recordings.
The band's energy level seemed to
match ihai of an arena with
lO.tKK) screaming fans, except it
felt like we were home, in an over-
sized living room.

them to return for this year's festivi-
ties.
The energetic Lark Quartet, an
all-woman ensemble, will help cele-
brate with two new pieces. One piece
entitled "A Spiritual Fantasy" was
written by Tillis. while another piece
composed by Bulgarian Penka
Kouneva was specially commissioned
by the FAC for the 20th anniversary.
Local favorite Munimenschanz will
be back with a
new program in
the spring. The
group relies sole-
ly upon mime
and masks to
create fantastic
and humorous
skits.
The New WORLD Theater
The New WORLD Theater will
also feature several premieres,
including some in the Latino Theater
Project, sponsored by a Readers'
Digest Lila Wallace grant. This year,
the Project intends to create stronger
relationships with the community,
explore ways the New WORLD
Theater can increase Latino Theater
activity and share with the artistic
community the ideas and methods of
professional Latino Theaters.
Other multi-cultural events
include, "The Festival of Lights," a
presentation which will be put on
jointly with the Asian Music and
Dance department. The festival will
be followed by a dance party, featur-
ing funky Indian music as well as a
play entitled "Bones And Ash: A
Cilda Story" that will feature the
Urban Bush Women cast .
Also, mixing cast and west, Saeko
Ichinohe and Company will be at
Bowker Auditorium in November.
The unique dance company blends
the traditions and artistry of Japanese
culture with American contemporary
dance. Farley said having Saeko
Ichinohe will be a unique experience
as 'we have not had a Japanese dance
before."
Another exciting event will be the
Parade of Dynasties, coming in
March to the Concert Hall. The story
will combine the history and specta-
cle of the Chinese culture.
"The arts uniquely and naturally
cross and interweave boundaries of
race, ethnicity
and gender in the
celebration of
creativity and
spirituality,
reflecting the
ideal and unity of
one human
race," Tillis said.
The FAC will
also sfwnsor a Community Day to
thank the region and the University
of Massachusetts for their support.
The day will feature tours of the FAC
and a performance of a play called
Sumher 14 by Access Theater from
Montreal. The play will document the
experiences of people who meet on a
bus.
The University Gallery has also
re-opened. Currently, an exhibit on
animation is being displayed.
According to Farley, objects either
move on their own or with interac-
tion. Also, "a really cool' interactive
virtual reality exhibit will arrive in
February.
Student Discount
Farley stressed that tickets for Five
College students are now only $5.
"We are already seeing an impact
at the box office." she said "Students
can now see four or five shows in the
money that it used to cost for just
one. "This is a major advantage — for
the price of a movie, students can
now see a live performance."
Not only is the FAC gearing up for
a new season, it's also sporting a new
look: the fatniliar green upholstery is
gone, replaced with red and purple.
The renovations on the exterior of
the building are nearly complete,
though Farley mentioned they hoped
to put in an atrium over the walkway
in order to preserve the floor tiles
better.
"We're really excited. We're look-
ing forward to a new vision," said
Farley.
In coming years, the FAC hopes to
work more with the community and
with the University in academic pro-
gramming and bringing artists into
the community and broadening the
scope of the center. In the past, the
FAC has sponsored the highly suc-
cessful interdisciplinary and effective
course. The Lively Arts. The course
fulfills a general education require-
ment and exposes students to theater,
music and visual arts. The students
are able to attend performances and
workshops featuring major interna-
tional as well as national star>.
The FAC is planning on collaborat-
ing with the Asian Music and Dance
department and introduce new pro-
gramming under Ranjanaa Devi, the
current director of the Asian Music
and Dance department.
Dr. Tillis also mentioned that he
would like to develop a volunteer
corps, composed of a diverse group
of people, both from the University
as well as the surrounding communi-
ty. He stresses the "arts can establish
a unique relationship" with the sur
rounding community. He notes that
there is a "pallern" to the shows
brought to the FAC and over four
vears. students will be acquainted
with arts from around the world,
leading to "interesting exposure."
Farley promised that this year at
the Fine Arts Center will be a 'full
season and there is somelhin^- tur
even one."

'It's a gamble, frankly." Smar said. "It will provide
us with a reduction in income from the student tickets
that are sold, however we are hopeful that more stu-
dents will choose to attend."
Feedback regarding the new student ticket prices has
been positive, according to Smar. "There stx'ms to be a
real high on the $5 ticket."
Smar was present for the cake-cutting ceremony at
the first FAC production — Steve Love and The New
York Roller Express. This fun-filled day was run not
only to entertain and kick off the fall season, but to
thank the community for its support.
Another program, which will take place this April, is
being run with the community in mind. "The Magical
Mystery Tour." a day filled with tours and activities for
students and families, is designed to thank the commu-
nity for the last 20 years of continued support.
'We appreciate the support of the community and
hope ii will continue." Smar stales.
Smar is also looking forward to attending live per-
formances in Bowker auditorium.
"Once I get into the concert hall in Bowker dunng a
live peri^ormance. 1 can observe the audience and its
reaction to the pcriormance. 1 can start to form my
own opinions about what works and what doesn't
work, which helps me make plans for the future."
Smar said.
In two words, Smar is "very excited" about the
upcoming season, and about being at UMass. She said
she hopes to work closely with both performers and
students and the community as a whole.
'I'm very pleased to be here, and I'd like to work
ven' hard to bring the best quality performances and
art to campus for the students to be able to enjoy. I
intend to work very closely with their interests in
mind." Smar said.
lust as Smar is excited about the upcoming season,
the campus is thrilled to welcome her to UMass.

ing spasm of several plots per
episode, few of which spill over into
subsequent weeks. The fix is smart,
quick and self-contained.
To keep truant viewers abreast of
plot developments. Bochco will have
a bO-second review at the beginning
of each episode, as well as a clever
rip-jff of Court TV' — here known
as 'Law TV" — in which fictitious
reporters covering the trial will recap
key plot points
The good news is. the addition of
'Murder One" will likely make
Thursdays at 10 p.m. the most cere-
bral hour in television, putting two
shows in mortal combat for viewers
with demographics that make adver-
tisers salivate, the kind of viewers
Bochco himself says he would love to
have.
"I think a lot of people who'd tove to
see this show, were it anywhere else,
will miss it." he said. "So from that
point of view, you know, I'm not crazy
about the time slot. But someone's got
to be there. I'm a team player."
He is already priming "Murder
One" cohorts for a strong break in
the Tuesday night slot, followed by a
struggle when the show moves to
Thursdays.
'For three weeks, we're going to
feel like we're a success." he said.
"And I'm trying to warn everybody to
not be disappointed when we move
to Thursdav night and get our asses
kicked."
Bochco is banking on the sophisti-
cation of an audience primed by
months of real-life 0.|. Simpson
courtroom drama to keep up with
dialogue that ou. smarts his previous
legal series — also a veteran of
Thursdays at 10 p.m. — "LA. Law."
In fact, it was "L.A. Law" and its
limitations that gave Bochco the idea
for "Murder One" in the first place.
"I started lobbying around the sec-
ond year, maybe the third year of
L.A. Law' to do a storyline that
would run all year long, a trial that
would run all year long," Bochco
said. The idea got only a lukewarm
response, which Bochco attributes to
the danger of fragmenting a storyline
araid a large ensemble cast.

Supermarket doses video stores;
BayBavAi to offer in-store branches
By Matthew Wurtzel
Collegian Staff
Slop and Shop has traded the con-
venience of a video store for that of a
bank.
Stop and Shop will be closing all
video departments in stores across
the state from Springfield to
Framingham.
Yesterday was the last day cus-
tomers could rent videos at the
Hadlt7 store. The movies and video
games will be sold until Sept. 23.
"It wasn't that we didn't get the
business." said lason Pierreponi. a
Slop and Shop video clerk. 'BayBank
made an offer Slop and Shop
couldn't refuse."
A lot of customers were disap-
pointed when the store made the
closing announcement last week, said
Pierreponi. a two year veteran in the
video department. "~-
Pierrcpont said he did not under-
stand why the video store should be
closed for a bank since there are
Automatic Teller Machines at every
register.
The prices of the videos range
from just under $5 to about $20.
Pierreponi said the videos are selling
fast at these prices.
"This affiliation extends
BayBank's growing variety of bank-
ing alternatives by providing cus-
tomers the convenience of one-^top
shopping in prime locations." said
William M. Crozier jr.. president
and chTef executive officer of
BayBank. Inc.
The bank will be opening 40
branches across the state in most
Stop and Shops, said Diane Greer, a
BayBank spokesperson.
The Hadley branch will open in
November, and have three tellers,
said Pierreponi.
The branch will have hours which
Greer describes as extremely conve-
nient. The branch will be open in the
early evening. It will also be open
seven days a week, including Sunday
afternoons.
Greer said BayBank can hold
such hours because it is not gov-
erned by state laws, but rather fed-
eral laws.
She said the branch will be full ser-
vice, including loan applications and
new account ser\ices.
The existing Fleet ATM in the
Hadley store will be replaced with a
BayBank machine, said Greer.
In November when the store
opens. BayBank will hold a
ribbon-cutting ceremony, she said.
The clerks in the video department
will probably be transferred to other
deparlmcnis in the store because
their union protects them, said
Pierreponi.
Packwood*s diaries could lead
to congressional investigation
By Scott Sonner
Asjocioted Press
WASHINGTON — The justice
Depanment should investigate the
campaign finance practices men-
tioned in Bob Packwood's diaries
to determine whether any laws
were broken, a public interest
group said Wednesday.
The practices "may constitute
knowing and willful violations of
the federal campaign laws."
Common Cause President Ann
McBride wrote in a letter to
Attorney General lanet Reno.
The diaries indicate Packwood.
(R-Ore.). and Sen. Phil Gramm.
(R-Texasl. discusscxl in 1*^2 send-
ing $100,000 in contributions from
the National Republican Senatorial
Committee, which Gramm then
chaired, to the Oregon Republican
Party, she said.
The contributions "were appar-
ently intended to benefit Senator
Packwoiid's re-election campaign.*
which would have violated a feder-
al prohibition on the so-called "soft
money" being spent to directly l)en-
efit federal campaigns, she said.
The justice IX-partmeni will con-
sider the request but it probably
will be weeks before its criminal
division prepares a response, a
department spokesman said
Wednesday evening.
Packwood announccxi last week
he would resign his seat effective
Oct I alter a Senate ethics investi-
gation that found he was guilty of
sexual misconduct, soliciting job
olfers from lobbyists for his ex- wife
and obstructing an investigation by
altering his diaries.
Gramm has denied any wrong-
doing.
"Nothing wrong was done," the
Republican presidential hopeful
told reporters last week "What
Senator Packwood is doing in his
diaries I don't know."
Gramm's press secretary. Larry
Neal. said Wednesday night the
request from Common Cause was
no surprise.
"I'm sure that Common Cause, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Democratic Party, would like the
Clinton administration to launch
an investigation." Neal said. "It
smells so much of politics that even
the Clinton administration won't
dare touch that '
Packwood had no immediate com-
ment, an aide said in Portliiiid. Oa".
Transit bus catches fire
NOR'niAMPTON — A Hampshire Transit bus
caught fire yesterday on its way to Northampton.
The bus was filled with passengers and travelling
to Northampton at approximately 5:45 p.m. on
Tuesday when it filled with smoke.
The driver pulled over and pa.ssengers were evac-
uated.
The fire and smoke were attributed to an air-con-
ditioning belt which caught fire, Hampshire Tran&it
spokesperson Barry Jones said.
There were no injuries to passengers and there
was no permanent damage to the bus, Jones said. A
second bus was sent to pick up displaced passengers
within 10 minutes.

Central & western Bosnia invaded, civilians flee
By Maud S. B«elman
AsKxialed Press
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Government sol-
diers and their Croat allies were rapidly advancing on
Serb-held towns in central and western Bosnia on
Wednesday, sending thousands of Serb civilians fleeing.
The Serbs were offering little resistance and appeared
to be pulling back, indicating they were reconciled to los-
ing less imponani terrilory. They were likely to lose the
land anyway in a possible peace scltlcmenl.
NATO also kept up its pressure on Bosnian Serbs,
launching airstrikes on Serb-held territory around
Sarajevo.
In Washington. Defense Secretary William Perry said
he found no evidence ol any civilian casualties in more
than 100 NATO bombings since Aug. JO. The Russian
government has accused NATO of killing Serb civilians,
including children.
The advance by Croat and Muslim-led government
troops came as U.S. envoy Richard Holbrooke began a
new round of shuttle diplomacy to settle on a plan to
divide Bosnia's territory.
Holbrooke was likely to tackle the difficult issue in
meetings with Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, who
has negotiating power for the Bosnian Serbs. LI S negolia
tors were carrying large maps as they entered the talks in
Belgrade, the Serbian capital.
Last Friday, all three sides in the Bosnian conflict
agreed on a plan under which I he Serbs, who now hold
about two-thirds of Bosnia, would have to give up large
pieces of it. They would end up with 44 percent, leaving
the rest for a Croal-Muslim federation.
U.N. and Bosnian officials reported early Wednesday
that the town of Donji Vakuf. aboi:t S5 ihiIcn north
west of Sarajevo, was falling to governnicni .jnd Croat
forces.
Government forces for months have been Irving to push
north and west toward IXjn|i Vakuf. Now. apparently,
they have their eyes on a bigger prize, juice. I i miles fur
ihcr to the north.
Croat forces were pressing east toward jajce. ^nd the
capture of Donji Vakuf woukl set up a pincers iiKivenicnl
on jajce. The Croatian news agency MINA tcporud
Wednesday night that fajcc had been captured ThtTe was
no confirmation.
In addition to its strategic and economy iinp<.'riancr.
jajce is significant psychologically. Its capture would put
the allied forces in position to harass the Bosnian Serb

According to Potter, increased
seating in the Bluewall Center and
"more attractive" and additional seat-
ing in the Coffee Shop should be
ample compensation.
Also, Poller said that in the begin-
ning of the school year, a greater
number of students try to eat lunch
at "precisely twelve noon," which she
likened to the initially dense road
traffic of off-campus students arriv
ing on campus at the s^me time eartv
in the semester.
However, she coniinued. when
those students reali/e that they will
encounter the congestion, they plan
around eating at peak houiA.

"The handicapped portion has
come to incorporate addicts iiiul alco

there, but I've heard Northampton

outside."
Pawley, a lesidenl of public hous

"1 think it's important lo have a
person from public housing on ihe

Logan. Chairperson of the Housing
Authority, on why she voted lor

perspective to ihc board that we
might nol have."
Boss agreed with this ideology, anil
said someone thinking ihal ihey can

student government.
"It would be an example of mater

For pan of the set David Bowie
and his wife, supermodel Inian,
came and sat about 20 feet behind
us. causing several n.-ar-hearl
attacks. Nine Inch Nails rocked
non-stop for over an hour before
they were joined on stage by David
Bowie and his band. The combina
tion of Bowie's hypnotic voice.
Reznor's howls and screams. Nine
Inch Nails' frantic rhythms and
sounds, and the "BOs new wave
style displayed by Bowie';- band
was incredible. They wjrked
together perfectly, with seemingly
contrasting styles blending togeth-
er like a symphony of beautiful
noise.
When Trent Reznor's band
finally left the stage. David Bowie
and his musicians covered a few-
Nine Inch Nails songs, with Trent
Reznor helping out on keyboard,
saxophone and any other instru-
ments he could get his hands on.
When Trent left. David Bowie
played about an hour and a half of
almost entirely new material.
Classic Bowie hits that we've all
grown to know and love were not
performed. Ihe only well-known
^•ong that Bowie sang was an
mcrediblc version of "The Man
Who Sold the World", a song
known more from Nirvana's
"Unplugged" release than by
Bowie's original recording.
When David Bowie finally fin-
i^hed his majestic set. we gave the
best standing ovation we could
muster up. He then hopped off of
the stage, walked over to us. greet-
ed us and asked our opinion of the
show. I was the first to respond.
and delivered the articulate
response of "Uh. oh god. uh.
WOW!" Others thanked him for
the incredible show, but lacked the
mastery of the English language I
had just displayed. How does one
respond to that line of question-
ing'.'
When Btwic finished greeting
us. Trent Reznor gave us a shy.
heartfelt greeting and goodbye.
After handshakes and hundreds of.
"You guvs were incredible, man."
we left
We spent the rest of the evening
basically freaking out. celebrating.
and trying to come back to the real
world. Not your average Saturday.
Needless to say. the Nine Inch
Nails — David Bowie Tour is not
to be missed - cscn if you do

contmued from poge 16
Campanile struck seven different pass receptors, compil
ing a career-high 10 completions for the game, and 1 10
yards passing on the day.
"We mixed a lot of guys in the game. There were quite u
few different receivers and quite a few different backs."
Campanile said. "They can all play and the coaches have
confidence in all of them — so do I, I throw them the ball.
I know they can catch, and 1 know what they can do after
they catch the ball."
Unfortunately for Campanile, the second half against
Richmond did not fare as well as the first half. In fact, it
was the opposite. The quarterback's offense was unable to
produce any points in the third or fourth quarters, due
largely to the mental mistakes they made. The Minutemen
fumbled. mi.ssed field goals, and Campanile did not com-
plete his passes. The quarterback completed only three of
1 4 scvond half passes.
"I think the mistakes 1 made were critical. I
under-threw one ball, that was big. I think we could have
had a touchdown," Campanile said. "I don't think I made
that many mistakes, but the mistakes 1 made were huge,
including that fumble at midfield."
On paper, there were many bright spots for Campanile
and his offense. At half-time of the Richmond game, it
looked as if the Minutemen could run away with it.
With his coaching staff. Campanile has reviewed the
Richmond game tapes this week, understanding the mis-
takes he made. He realizes he must take the positives
which occurred and continue to build on them. The
UMass offense looks to iron out the wrinkles in prepara-
tion for Saturday's match-up with Holy Cross.
"The mistakes I made were big. so as a whole, it was a
poor game for me. If you put up seven points, the quarter-
back didn't have a great game, no matter what he did."
Campanile said. "I know we have to improve I know I
have to improve and I know what needs to be improved
on. I'm not panicked, but yet I'm not happy about what
went on as far as my performance."
Losing to Richmond in the season opener was no
doubt, a disappointment. The Minutemen were picked to
roll all over the Spiders last Saturday. UMass takes this
minor set-back as a learning experience, and shoots for
improvement in the necessary areas.
"I think we need to motivate ourselves more, because
you spend the whole camp talking about Richmond, and
(hen you go out there and (play poorlyj." Campanile said.
"You really got to rebound. There is so much adversity to
overcome right now We were not supposetl to lose that
game. It is hard to accept."
Campanile and the Minutemen look to rebound
Saturday at Warren McGuirk Alumni Stadium, when they
lace in-state rival Holy Cross. Kick-off is I p.m.

UMass, Campanile look to rebound vs. Holy Cross
By Mike Brown
Cdlegion SloH
DArMON SMITH ' COtLK.iAN
The Minuternen, after dropping their season opener against Richmond, are preparing for Saturday's game
against Holy Cross at Warren C. McCuIrk Alumni Stadium.
rir^i iind 10 inside the opposing 20-yard line.
Sophomore quarterback Vito Campanile lakes ihe snap
and — then what?
A touchdown is what the Massachusetts football team
desires in this situation. Last week, the Minuternen failed
to lake advantage ol several opportunities to put points on
the board, inside the Richmond 20. This week. Campanile
and UMass look to rebound from a disappointing 21-7
loss, and minimize mental mistakes when they face local
rival Holv Cross.
"I don't think we took advantage of our c>pportunities. I
think wc had the game." Campanile said. "We had it right
there lor the taking, and we didn't take it. We as an
olfense. kept wailing and waiting — lor what? I don't
know."
The game against Richmond marked the first time since
19*)'5 that Campanile had seen game action. He sat out
last season with a lorn anterior cruciate ligament The for-
mer knee injury did not bother Campanile at all. and was
not a factor in the result of his perfonnance.
"|The kneej felt really good. It didn't bother me at all to
be honest; It was tired the next day. a little sore."
Campanile said. "Nothing out of the ordinary. A couple of
shells will do ihal to anybody."
Campanile's performance on the field revealed the knee
is capable ol handling game situations. Missing a whole
season, however, tends to make athletes rusty upon return
to the field. Campanile wasted no time getting reacquaint-
ed with the gridiron, as he delivered a seven-yard com-
plete pass on his first play back.
"I was adjusted right alter Ihe first play. I was ready to go.
I was so pumped." Campanile said. "I felt goixl. It didn't fcx-l
like a year ofl at all to me. I wasn't thinking of that.'
In the first half against Richmond. Campanile looked
impressive. He completed seven of 10 passes for a total of
6*J yards. He also displayed an ability to connect with a
wide array of receivers, in order to get the job done.

Water polo swims over Richmond, Blue Jays
Rebecca Myers
By T«ri Kitin
Collegion SioW
The Massachusetts water polo
team extended its rcxord to b-1 this
weekend at the Cambridge
Invitational The Minuternen went
2-0. posting victories over Richmond
and lohn Hiipkins in the event which
was co-hosted bv Harvard and
MIT
After struggling against Richmond
in its first game of the Invitational.
Massachusetts was able to come
away with a I b-1 4 win over the
Spiders. Luis l.imardo led the way in
scoring lor the Minuternen with six
gc>als and three assists.
Led by six more goals from
Limardo. the Minuternen were at
their best in their decisive 26-6
defeat of |ohn Hopkins, which
pleasc-d UMass coach Russ Yarworth.
"At the lohn Hopkins game, we
finally came out and played how we
are capable of playing, and really
dominated the game." Yarworth said.
Despite starting off the season
with a strong record. Yarworth feels
his team is still in the defining
priKCss.
"We really haven't clicked yet.
That is a little bit of a function of
having a new group this year."
Yarworth said. "It is the first time in
a couple years that we had to change
our tactics and it's taking a little
while to get it together."
Yarworth has started a different
line-up every game in an attempt to
find an identity and a cohesive com-
bination.
According to Limardo. one of the
major differences in this year's team
is their ability to score.
"I think we are a better team than
last year. Last year, only two or three
people could scc>re goals," Limardo
said. "This year, there are a lot of
people who can score and play both
offense and defense."
With the loss of lavier Gonzale?.
the Minutemen are looking for a
spread-out offense, that will also
incorporate some talented freshmen.
In addition to leadership, senior
captain lohn Luviano has been an
offensive contributor with nine goals
and 1 1 assists Freshman Brian Stahl
has stepped up for the Minuternen
along with Gabriel Marrero. two top
recruits who are showing signs of
promise.
• • •
Pool Notes: UMass opened their
I'J'Jt campaign with four games
Sept. 2 and i at the Labor Day
Invitational tournament held at
Annapolis. MD. The Minutemen
went 5- I in their season opener,
with wins over Hucknell. George
Washington and Richmond. Its only
loss was to arch rival Navy, who
defeated UMass 9-7.
"Losing 9-7 to Navy the first
weekend of the season was not that
disappointing, because the transition
during the first couple games is diffi-
cult." Yarworth said.
Stahl had an impressive debut,
leading the Minutemen in scoring
with 1 1 goals and six assists.
Senior Alex Mujica has carried the
brunt of the load in net for
Massachusetts with I I quarters
played and has a team low b.55
goals per game, lunior Paul Lngin
has also been busy in goal, playing
7 5 quarters, while allowing an aver-
age of only eight GPG. lunior |eff
Lee and freshman Dane Teruya have
also seen time at the goaltcnder posi-
tion.

of the season.
Rebecca Myers
out for 2-3 weeks
By Justin C. Smith
Colleglon Staff
The truly great teams can overcome Injuries in
order to win games. This is a test the Massachusetts
women's soccer team hopes it can pass in the
upcoming weeks as it will have to deal with the k>s$
of All-America candidate Rebecca Myers.
Myers, who is the field general at center midfield.
will be lost for at least the next 2-3 wcx'ks with a
torn hamstring.
"V\c are a changed team now without Rebecca
Myers," said Massachusetts coach |im Rudy.
The injury has been lingering since the preseason
as she was not 100 percent heading into the regular
season .
She played the first 60 minutes against St.
Konaventure and 80 against GW last Friday, but
will be unable to go this weekend when the
Minutewomen head to Williamsburg Va. to face
William & Marv and Gcx)rge Mason.
One ol the biggest concerns is within the team
itselL As long as they play the team game they arc
capable of. they will be in each game they play with-
out their standout midfielder.
"We know we will play a good team game and
that wc will fight for each other." Rudy said of his
squad's heart. "That's the thing we do best. How far
that can lake us remains to be seen."
lunior Amy Powell, a usual starter on the left
flank, will assume Myers" position in her absence.
"We will shift around lo compensate for her loss.
We have done it at the ends of both games against
St. Bonnies and against GW." Rudy said. "Amy
Powell, a left, will be at the midfield. We are not
unfamiliar with it. It is something that we have dune
before."
UMass does not do u tremendous amount of
switching of players, so they can keep the units'
cohesiveness throughout the game.
"Our strength is that when we gel playcxi in. the
players understand each other, because wc don't
substitute a lot," Rudy said. "When you make a lot
of substitutions, you don't get in the flow of the
game."
The stretch of games played without Myers is a
true character test for this team and the confidence
in other players to step up in her absence could be
an asset from this experience.
"How we react remains to be seen." Rudy said.

llNCOLls. Neb. — Two players face assault charges,
another is accused of attempted murder. University offi-
cials are putting the spin on Nebraska's image. The gover-
nor offers a psychological analysis, saying the players are
having trouble "dealing with anger."
And, oh yes, Arizona Stale is in town Saturday for the
No. 2 Comhuskers' home opener.
It has not been an easy week for the defending national
champions, suddenly entangled by a web of legal prob-
lems.
"We've been portrayed as a Miami." coach Tom
Osborne said, referring to a schcx)l under NCAA investi-
gation following reports of a financial aid scandal, drug-
testing violations and a pay-for-play scheme "Maybe we
are. 1 don't know. I don't see it as quite that bad. I think
we have a pretty gcxxl character level."
Star running back Lawrence Phillips and backup
Damon Benning were arrested over the weekend for
allegedly assaulting their ex-girlfriends. Phillips is off the
team for now.
Phillips has pleaded innocent to misdemeanor charges
of assault, trespassing and destruction of properly follow-
ing a conlronlalion al the apartment of transfer quarter-
back Scoll Frost. No charges have been filed against
Benning. who has maintained he acted in selldelense and
is expected to play.
On Wednesday, backup receiver Riley Washington was
in court lo plead innocent lo allempled murder. He faces
an October trial. A weary Osborne admits he is distracted
by the off field problems. He said he expects several inci-
dents each year simply because of the number ( 1 50-160)
of young people on the team. He said it was up to others
to decide is his program was "out of control." Local
authorities say they haven't noticed any trends of violence
among Husker athletes.
"I know from lime lo lime we are involved in incidents
involving Ihe players." Lincoln police chief Tom Casady
said. "But I don't know if that is out of proportion to any
other group of students, or similar populations of anyone
else."
Lancaster County attorney Gary Lacey said he did not
see a trend,
"We have football players and others who get in trou
ble." he said. 'Fvery once in a while we have a lew more."
Nebraska football has dominated radio call-in shows
and front pages since Phillips' arrest Sunday. F.ven Gov.
Ben Nelson weighed in Wednesday.
"We're seeing a microcosm of young people who arc
having trouble dealing with anger and dispute resolution."
said the governor, a Nebraska alumnus and big football
fan. "Wc see how difficult the problem is for one football
team ... there's no way that one coach, seven coaches or
100 coaches could do it all themselves."
Athletic director Bill Byrne, who said Tuesday his pro-
gram was not at all like Miami's, said Nebraska has been a
national leader in providing counseling and other pro-
grams available to athletes.
"We just need to make sure we're doing all that we can
for our athletes . . . maybe we need to do more," he said.

Harbaugh might not start
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - |im Harbaugh. the highest-
rated quarterback in Ihe NFL. may not even start this
week lor Ihe Indianapolis Colts.
Craig Frickson. who started the first two games.
Harbaugh and coach Ted Marchibroda know who will
start at Buffalo, but weren't telling after Wednesday's
practice. The quarterbacks shared practice time with the
first unit.
"We'll make the formal announcement as far as the
starling quarterback is concerned right at game time."
Marchibroda said. "We're going to give our guys pretty
much equal work this week in practice."
Marchibroda thought keeping his decision quiet might
affect Bulfalo's preparations. However, Bills coach Marv
Levy said in a teleconference Wednesday that his team
would prepare for the Colls without thinking about the
Colls' decision.
"The only quarterbacks I prepare for differently are
lohn Flway. Steve Young, and Randall Cunningham, guys
who are great scramblers," Levy said.
Harbaugh has come off the bench two straight weeks to
lake over for a struggling Erickson, prixlucing dramatic
touchdown drives that sent both games into overtime late
in the fourth quarter.

Five-college students, supporters mourn ''death"
By Allison Connolly
Collegion Staff
OAYMNDN SMlTH.COillCIAN
"Hey, hey, what do you soy? Fund our contracts right
away!"
Faculty members protest outside Herter Hall over the state of their contract negotiations.
Librarians, professors protest contracts' standstill
In response lo the proposc-d finan-
cial aid cuts led by the republican
congress, students from the five-col-
lege area marched on Amherst
Common yesterday in protest.
Dressed completely in black, the
hundred or so supporters wanted
Congress lo be "held accountable"
for their measures.
The rally was held in ccmjunciion
with similar ones on campuses acro.ss
the nation. The Amherst rally began
with a funeral procession.
Amid tombstones marked.
"Financial Aid. Died Sept 20. 1 9*15,"
"Education's" colfin was paraded
along the parameters of the comiiKin
Obituaries were read tor the slain
Education, killed in an "attack per-
petuated by the United States
Government,"
Booths distributing inlormation on
the bills being considered in Congress
were set up along the edges of the
common. Petitions against the cuts
were also circulated for students to
sign.
Vivian l.u. a junior at Ml. Holyoke
College, was working one of the
booths which oflered the names,
addresses and phone numbers ol the
senators that students may contact in
order to tell thcni to vole against the
financial aid cuts.
"I hope a lot of people will tell
their representatives to support finan-
cial aid because a lot of students ncx'd
il." l.u said.
Lrica Sapp. a student organizer
and member of the board of directors
ol United States Student Association
(USSA). said that the objcvtive of the
rally is to inlorm students of what
Congress is threatening to do to their
educations
"We hope that the senators will real
i/e that students an.- derinitely opposed
to what they're veiling on next week,
aixl that ihi-y will vole it down." Sapp
said. "II not. Clinton will vcio ii "
Vanessa lohnson. a Hampshire
College student and another organiz
er ol ihe eseni. was impressed with
the turnout and with the success of a
rally lomied in such a short time.
"I am commitlc"d to equal access to
education." she said "Pulling it
together in four days proves that stu
dents are committed lo this. It hits
home for them "
Students attending the rally were
happy to sec that action was being
taken against a program directly
alkx'ting them
"I don't consider myself a politically
active person," fn-shman Mt Holyoke
student Holly Dintzner said. "The col
Ic-ges in this area are excellent. It's sad
that the government doesn't want to
put attention on the future of their
country, which is education "
Cincinnati. Ohio native Kate
Kiefer. also a freshman al Mt.
Holyoke. depends on her Imancial aid
package lo attend school in
Massachusetts
"I couldn't afford school without the
financial aid that I'm getting." Kiefer
said "That's why I'm here, sptvifically
to find out what's happening."
Fellow classmate lohanna Stacy
was skeptical about the govcmmcni's
intentions.
"I think it's crazy that they're
putting so much money in defense
and cutting education." Stacy said.
"They're thinking short term goals
rather than long tenn The idea of the
United States is lo invest in the peo-
pie"
Massachusetts politicians pushing
lor the students' cause and against Ihe
cuts were also represented at the
rally US Rep. lohn Olver (I>-First
District) sent staff members lo listen
to the students' arguments Olver vis-
ited UMass last Monday to discuss the
status ol education cuts in the Houiie.
Sen. Fdward Kennedy. iD Mass.)
could no", attend the rally, but wrote
a speech that was read by a
Hanipshia- College student.
"Sen. Kennedy is definitely very
supportive of our cxlucation and will
do all he can to see it's a priority in
the budget." lohnson said. "He's
always been supportive of c-ducation*
Sarita Gupta, another organizer
and speaker, preyed on ihe voting
conscience ol her audience
She also pointed out that the gov-
ernment spends only 2"v ol their
budget on education, and less than
■ "v on linancial aid.
"In the fnidgel pie. wc aren't even
a sliver." Ciupta said.
"By the end of this rally, you will
be empowered." lohnson said. "And
we will move on and forward as a
student movement."

Nearly 100 faculty members and
librarians raged in protest outside of
Herter Hall yesterday at 5:50 p.m..
the starting lime ol the first Faculty
Senate meeting of the year.
Demonstrators waved picket signs
which bore such slogans as. "Hixiker
is gone. Scott next." "Hey Scoltie.
can you spare a dime'.'" and "Scoll
free! The way lo be."
As the protest continued the facul-
ty members chanted. "Hey! Hey!
What do ya say. fund our contract
right away!"
The group was protesting the stag-
nant slate of their contract negolia
lions.
"Wc are protesting the shabby,
shameful way in which {the
Chancellor and the Trusteesj and
Governor's office treats I he
University faculty." history professor
Robert F. lones said.
Contract bargaining has been in
progress for two years. The Faculty
Senate/Board of Trustees and the
Massachusetts S^-iety of Prolcssur:.,
(MSP) had reached an agreement in
which the professors would receive a
1 5 percent pay raise over three years.
The contract was ratified l>y the
union in .August of 1944. It was final-
ized by the signatures of the
President and the Trustees in
September IW4, The Weld Celluci
Administration rejected the pa) pack-
age in lanuary 1945.
For the past 1 5 months the MSP has
said il fcx'ls that thea- has bcxm insulTl-
cient action by Chancellor David K.
Scott and Ihe Board of Trustees in
order to negotiate the contract.
MSP President Leo Richards slated
that the faculty/librarians are enragcxi
t)ecause they are tired of waiting lor
their negotiations lo be finalized.
"Il is demoralizing to work so hard
and rcveive no rewards." mechanical
engineering Professor Ian Grosse said.
Another protestor said that profes-
sors of equal qualifications al the
University of Connecticut are making
about $10,000 more than University
of MasiMichuscits professors.
Several students scx-med awestruck
by the enthusiasm of the protestors,
and scime offered support by cheering
the professors on.
Sophomore Suzanne Elliot said that
she believes it is awful to sex: that pro-
fc*ssors arc treated so t)adly at a time
when education is so important.
The protest soon moved inside
Herter Hall. The MSP members
marched into Herter 227 where the
512lh meeting of the Faculty Senate
was taking place. As the meeting
started, the protestors continued
their chanting.
IX-spite Ihe distraction, the meet-
ing went along as scheduled. The
Faculty .Senate adhered to their agen-
da and the contract negotiations were
not mentioned.
About one hour into the meeting
many of the protesters left. As the
faculty/libranans exiled the meeting
they said they were disheartened and

AZT may not be best way to combat HIV
By Paul Recer
Aisociated Press
WASHINGTON ~ The use of AZT as the nrst-
line treatment for HIV infection may be re evaluat-
ed as the result of a study that shows patients
reduce risk of death from AIDS by up lo 50 per-
cent by using other drugs, researchers say.
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious
Diseases announced Thursday that a drug called
ddl reduced the rate o( death by 50 percent among
HIV patients when compared with the use of AZT
alone over 147 weeks.
The conclusion came from a study of 2.500 HIV
patients who were without symptoms of AIDS and
were al an intermediate stage of the disease. The
patients were divided into groups and given differ-
ent combinations of the drugs. Researchers then
compared the effects.
Dr. Scott Hammer of Harvard Medical School
and New England Deaconess Hospital said that ddl
alone, or combinations of ddl and AZT, or of a
combination of AZT and another drug. ddC. were
superior in all measures to AZT alone.
By using drugs other than AZT alone, he said,
"we have shown that we can prolong survival."
AZT. manufactured by Glaxo Wellcome Co.,
was the first antiviral approved for treatment of
HIV and continues to the be the recommended first
treatment for the killer virus.
The other two drugs, ddl and ddC, were devel-
oped alter AZT and are now in wide use, but they
have generally been considered a second line of
defense, used after the failure of AZT. Hammer
said that may change.
"Based on this single study, it is likely that AZT
will be reconsidered" as the first-line therapy, said
Hammer. Bristol-Myers Squibb Inc. makes ddl and
Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. makes ddC. These com-
panies and Glaxo-Wellcome donated the drugs
used in the study.
A survival advantage over AZT for ddl or a
combinations of drugs was shown in an arm of
the study Ihal involved 1.400 patients who had
HIV, but were without symptoms, and who had
previously taken AZT. These patients, called the
experienced group because of their AZT history,
had CD4 T cell counts of 200 to 500 per cubic
millimeter. CD4 cells are the primary target of
HIV
Hammer said patients in this group taking ddl
alone experienced a death rate of 5 percent over
147 weeks. Patients taking AZT alone had a death
rate of 10 percent. Those taking ddC and AZT had
a death rate of 9 percent, while the rate was b per
cent for those taking a combination of ddl and
AZT.
For patients who have never taken AZT.
Hammer said, there was a trend both in survival
and in slowing disease progression that favored
ddl, a combination of ddl and AZT, or a combina
tion of ddC and AZT when compared to the use of
AZT alone.
Conclusions about relative effects of the drugs
were based on clinical findings such as the drop in
CD4 cell counts or the development of AIDS-relat-
ed diseases. In those cases, also, said Hammer, a
combination of drugs or ddl alone showed a statis-
tical advantage over AZT alone.
Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National
Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said
Ihe study shows for the first time that antiviral
treatment "can reduce the risk of death in asympto-
matic people with intermediate-stage HIV disease.
The study was supported by the NIAID. The
complete findings are to be reported at the
Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents
and Chemotherapy meeting in San Francisco next
week.
Patients in the study were enrolled at 52 loca-
tions.

the Senate floor to praise Frist and
inform others of the emergency action.
"He really knew what he was doing
and took complete charge." said
Chafee. "And this gentleman, who
was out — his heart truly had
stopped to the best of their knowl-
edge — revived because Dr. Frist
responded so quickly."
Rescue workers who serve the
Capitol scxjn appeared and tcxjk the
man lo the hospital, said Chafee.

cardiac care unit of George
Washington University Hospital later

Defense grant given to UMass
Students visit hazardous waste sites through new program
By Anty M. Scott
Collegian Staff
Thanks to a federal grant, a
University of Massachusetts organiza
tion offered a course this summer thai
gave field experience in hazardous
waste engineering to 10 undergradu
ates from six colleges nationwide.
The U.S. Department of Defense
granted UMass-Amherst the $1.5 mil
lion grant which resulted in the birth
of the Environmental Technology
Program Consortium (ETPC) — a
group of 1 1 pmblic, private and acade-
mic organizations from several states
promoting environmental studies in
the Fall of 1994. UMass was one of 1 6
universities nationwide to receive an
environmental grant from the U.S.
Department of Defense.
ETPC. which works out of tfie civil
and environmental engineering
department on campus, sponsored
the 10-week summer course which
trained the 10 students, three of
whom were from UMass. to study
environmental clean-up sites.
"I think it went pretty well." said
Beth Barrett, associate director of
ETPC. "(The students] were actually
able to get some hands-on experi-
ence."
During the summer, the 10 stu-
dents learned how to take samples
from contaminated sites, analyze
them in a laboratory and write sum-
mary reports on what the tests
showed. Barrett said.
Each student visited one or more of
three contamination sites in
Massachusetts: Route 25 in PI>Tnouth.
where the Massachusetts Highway
Department has treated the road with
calcium magnesium acetate instead of
road salt as a de- icing agent, because
road salt would damage a local cran-
berry bog: an unnamed highway site,
where gasoline arul diesel fuels have
leaked into the soil and ground water
from underground storage tanks at a
gas station, and might eventually
reach a reservoir: and a historic gas
station at now-closed Fort Devens in
Ayer. where a tank of waste lubricat-
ing oil has tainted the sandy soil and
might affect future activities at the
site, which was bought by civilian
developers.
Of the three sites, only the
Plymouth site is not classified as a
hazardous waste site. Students who
worked on hazardous waste sites took
a mandatory 40 hours of training on
how to protect themselves on these
sites.
Five UMass engineering professors
and several graduate students served
as teachers and mentors to the 10
undergraduates. Dr. David W.
Ostendorf. associate professor of civil
and environmental engineering,
supervised the class_ activities.
According to Ostendorf. who said his
department got heavily involved with
contamination field studies in 1988,
the cla»s_ research revealed nothing
alarming — bacteria are breaking the
contaminants down naturally.
"The program is a training pro-
gram, so basically we wanted to take
things that we pretty much knew
already and teach the technology to
the trainees." Ostendorf said. "We've
been there before; We've sampled
before. Our task is to go around and
document that |a natural cleanup
process) is in fact happening and the
rate at which it's happening."
Bacteria in the tainted soil and
ground water eat hydrocarbons in the
presence of oxygen and convert them
to carbon dioxide and water vapor,
rendering the contaminants harmless,
he explained.
The to undergraduate students
involved, who attended two-year
schools as well as four-year schools,
had diverse backgrounds spanning
from civil engineering to electrical
engineering to computer science. In
addition to the three UMass students,
two were from Springfield Technical
Community College, two from
Morgan State University in Maryland,
and one apiece from Case Western
Reserve University in Ohio. Holyoke
Community College and Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute in New York.
Travis Mitchell, who received his
bachelors degree in civil engineering
last spring, was one of the three
UMass undergraduates in the sum-
mer course. This year. Mitchell will
begin working toward a masters in
environmental geotechnology at
UMass.
"(Students in the summer class)
each had taken different courses and
are at all different levels of education.
We learned from each other,"
Mitchell said.
Mitchell worked on both of the
highway sites this summer.
According to him. the undergradu-
ates visited the sites while ground
samples were taken with a drill rig (a
large machine which is owned by a
sub-contractor), took the samples
back to the lab to be analyzed, and
determined the rate at which bacteria
are processing the contaminants. The
Massachusetts Highway Department
uses the reports written by the stu-
dents to determine if the contami-
nants are breaking down at a satisfac-
tory rate.
Shawn Kelley. who is also pursuing
a masters in environmental geotech-
nology at UMass. served as a mentor
for the undergraduates this summer.
"It being the first year of the pro-
gram, there_s definitely room for
improvement." he said. 'Overall. I
think the program was a success.'
The grant was designed to divert
U.S. Defense revenue to
post-Cold- War concerns such as envi-
ronmental protection, said Barrett.
Besides striving to train students
between 16- and 25-years-old in
environmental engineering, she said,
ETPC also offers scholarships and
retraining for engineers who lost their
jobs because of federal defense cut
backs.
Three of the 10 undergraduates
who took the course in the summer
have continued their environmental
studies this fall, Barrett said, includ-
ing one UMass student.
"Hazardous waste engineering, and
environmental protection in general,
are definitely emerging fields, and the
long-term prospects for jobs look
very good." Barrett said.

Dorchester man convicted in murder
By h4ancy Rabinowitz
Associated Press
BOSTON — A man accused of killing a Boston
police detective was convicted Thursday following his
third trial.
lurors deliberated for about five hours before return-
ing a guilty verdict against Sean Ellis, 20. Ellis was
convicted on first-degree murder. armL>d robbery and
firearms charges in connection with the killing of
Detective |ohn |. Mulligan.
Ellis was sentenced to life in prison without parole
by Suffolk Superior Court |udge lames D. McDuniel.
Suffolk County District Attorney Ralph C. Martin's
strong emotions were evident following the guilty ver-
dict.
"You try so hard on behalf of the families. Over the
course of two years, you develop an empathy for what
the families gc< through." Martin said.
"It tests your resolve, it tests your faith, it tests your
strength and endurance. While people are looking to
the other side of the post for what's wrong with the
court system I think we have something to be proud of
today." Martin said.
Norman Zalkind. Ellis' attorney, expressed dismay
OUT the verdict and said an appeal is planned.
"Wc were unhappily surpnsed. We thought ihis ■aj.
a good jury but obviously they were good lor the ptusc
cution.* Zalkind said.
"They put in less evidence this time, so mavbe some
of their evidence was tainted."
None of Ellis' relatives were in the courtiuurn fur lii.
verdict, although Zalkind said they were on h.i
throughout the trial.
"They have other children They were very sup|x^
ive of him." 2^lkind said.
Mulligan's brother expressed relief that the !uii>;
ordeal seems to be over.
"We're pleased obviously with the outcome. Thi-
an example of why my brother believed in the system
— it works for everyone. My brother would be proud
of what was done on his behalf.' Richard Mulligan >aiil
Mulligan was working a paid detail outside a
Roslindale drug store in the early morning hours v\
Sept. 26. m^'i. when he was shot five times in the Ui •
with a small-caliber handgun.
"I had a promise on the morning my brother \v
murdered there would be justice lor lohn." MuIIh:jii
said. "This is a nice present for lohn. He would be ii
in a week or so."

Nazi wins war of supremacy
Peter
Orvetti
Want to make a quick $3.1 million? Become a
Nazi and throw your wife and kid in front of a
federal agent '<> gun.
The Senate is investigating an incident that occurred at
Ruby Ridge. Idaho in August 1992. After repealed
run-ins with white separatist Randolph Weaver, federal
marshals surrounded his secluded cabin. Weaver had
stockpiled weapons, some of them illegal: he had also
sold guns illegally. Hiding from the authorities. Weaver
and his family had not left the cabin in 18 months; the
government was then determined to forcibly arrest the
felon.
On Aug 21. 1992. Weaver's dog startled the agents
and a sh<x>tout erupted. Samuel Weaver. 14. was killed,
as was Deputy Marshal William Degan.
The FBI joined the crisis; its bumbling
entry led to the accidental shooting of Vicki
Weaver. Randy's wife, who was also a
white separatist.
The feds screwed up big. There's no
question about that Three people who did not cominll
crimes — Sammy and Vicki Weaver and Bill Dcgan
died; Randy Weaver himself served just four months in
prison. But the Senate 'gnores a larger issue.
The Senate's sideshow is being run by Sen. Arlen
Specter (R-Penn.i. who is best known for creating the
"magic bullet" theory of the |FK assassination arul for his
harsh and outright untrue attacks on Professor Anita Hill
in 1991 Specter is going for the incompetence three-peat
with Rub\ Ridge. The Senator is such a renowned states-
man that his presidential campaign is scoring a whopping
three percent in the polls; Specter figures that a bit of
anti-government grandstanding, live on CNN and
C-SPAN. couldn't hun.
Ruby Ridge can't hurt Specter, but it might hurt the
rest of us. What does it say about Americans that so
many i>f us have rallied around this issue'.' F.ducalion
funds are being slashed, welfare and affirmative action
are being reworked, but what are angry citizens fighting
for? The defense of a Nazi who made his money breaking
the law.
The irony of Ruby Ridge is that Weaver is pan of a
movement that is preparing to fight a racially divided
civil war. That's what all those guns are for. But when
.someone on his side of the battlefield gets hit, does he
shoot back? Do his comrades take Boise? No. Weaver
sues for redress from a government he doesn't even rec-
ognize.
Weaver's ilk would see the majority of the population
of the world either subjugated or slaughtered, as a matter
ol policy. Separatists have killed many people, sometimes
beating victims to death. But. Randy Weaver would say.
Vicki and Samuel were different! They were white!
The Weavers did not just want to "separate" them-
selves from other races or from the government. They
were pan of the white supremacy movement. They had
lies to the .Aryan Nations. And. during the siege at Ruby
Ridge, a band of skinheads, armed with illegal weapons,
marched toward the cabin to follow
Weaver in declaring the stan of the race
war. (The federal agents held them back.)
Weaver is entitled to his views, as are
ihe skinheads and all the rest; the
Constitution guarantees that. Weaver did
brcdk ihc law by stockpiling arms. Still, what happened in
Ruby Ridge in Aug. 1992 was unnecessary and wrong,
dnd iiicrils an open and honest exploration. The most
incensing pan of the Weaver case is his award of $3.1
million in damages from the government.
Weaver had intended to sue for $200 million; lawyers
say he would have won it. Still, even $3.1 million is dis-
turbing. The full tax load of over a thousand people is
going right into Weaver's pocket.
Weaver had the luxury of being able to sue because his
family was assaulted by the government. But can Bill
Degan's family sue? Can the widow of a street cop sue
the street thug who put a hole through his head? How
about the parents of an eight-year-old killed in a
drive-by shooting? Or the mother of a Serb soldier killed
by NATO? No. of course not. When you're in a fight, and
bullets are fired, liability stops. None of these people can
sue for redress. If anything, maybe Ruby Ridge will show
us that we need to keep tighter controls on our weapon-
'y
Until then, you can sleep well at night, knowing that
your tax dollars are at work, making a Nazi richer than
you'll ever be.

THE MASSACHUSETTS DAILY COLLEGIAN
Frances president causes outcry
By framing himself as the
new Charles dc Gaulle,
newly- elected French
President Jacques Chirac has per-
haps shed some light on his own
indomitable persistence in conduct-
ing nuclear tests in the South
Pacific. Although debate flared
immediately following the decision
in June, last week's detonation —
the first of a possible eight — has
prompted an enormous interna-
tional outcry.
De Gaulle, head of the French
resistance during World War II
and later president of France, has
recently been portrayed as a dicta-
torial leader who attempted to
consolidate the presi-
dential power to the
point of d monarchy.
By flying in the face
of peaceful conven-
tion, Chirac has
demonstrated his
willingness to lead
the country in aggres-
sive policy similar to
thai of de Gaulle. His
actions bear precious
little resemblance to
France's more recent
role in ihe international communi-
ty as a stable, conservative super-
power.
President Chirac, in conducting
these nuclear tests, may well have
initially sought to resurrect his
country's ailing reputation by creat-
ing a diplomatic stir. If so, he dras-
tically underestimated the interna-
tional public's response. Whether a
military necessity or not, recent
non-proliferation treaties indicate
a trend toward the reduction of
nuclear weapons with an eye
toward extinction, while France's
testing is contrarily indicative of
escalation. By proclaiming his
country's status as a superpower
through these tests. Chirac has
simultaneously declared his lack of
faith in those treaties.
Quite frankly, these tests are a
sham. They serve, at best, as a
political tool to remind the world
of France's virility (and thai it is
flagrantly manipulative of small
Pacific Island economic dependen-
cies). In light of his country's stag-
nant economy and rising unem-
ployment. Chirac has resorted to
transparent political schemes to
both boost his country's interna-
tional reputation and silence criti-
cism at home.
But what about French
Polynesia in all of this? Whose
islands are going to be •ontami-
nated for Chirac's political
schemes? I think the general rule
ought to be: anything you
wouldn't do in your own yard,
don't do in someone else's.
Sounds reasonable anyway.
Possibly the only
reason the French
public has been so
complacent in protest-
ing the tests is the
state of emergency
ihey are under. Under
constant threat of ter-
rorist bombings, secu-
rity throughout the
country has been
tightened and public
concern is distracted.
Nevertheless, the
French, increasingly conscious of
environmental issues in recent
years, have been noticeably quiet
relative to the vehement condem-
nations from around the world,
especially in Tahiti. (However, if
France sends over many more riot
police to enforce the "majority"
opinion that the tests are a dandy
idea, we certainly won't be seeing
loo many more anicles un Tahitian
protests in the New York Times.)
In the presidential race leading
up to Chirac's election, ihe French
public resoundingly indicated they
wanted a drastic change and. boy.
have they gollen it.
For an example of the diplomatic
absurdity which has arisen in the
past week, it would seem appropri-
ate to look at the closest and most
historically concerned country:
japan. What has shocked me most
in recent days has been Chirac's
intentional cstrangemeni of lapan
through several malicious com-
ments. But considering lapan is
perceived by most Europeans to be
the most dangerous economic
adversary, along with the United
States, perhaps I needn't be too
surprised.
Considering the first lest was
conducted only one month after
the 50ih Anniversary of the bomb-
ings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
one would think that some under-
standing on Chirac's pan would be
in order. Last Friday, though, a
Japanese cabinet minister was pub-
licly criticized for attending a
protest in French Polynesia. (The
mayor of Hiroshima spoke out as
well, calling the testing, "a betrayal
of mankind") Chirac backed up
the criticism, made by one of his
foreign ministers, by saying he had
no intention of visiting lapan any
time soon; sounds punitive to me.
Although lapan was the enemy in
the past, that does not necessitate
continued mistreatment now that
they arc allies.
Although France needs to
reverse its downward spiral in the
world economy, I suspect it would
be easier to achieve that goal by
motivating their economy inter-
nally. Threats such as this, stink
of protectionism and other mani-
festations of paranoia. This was
not what the French public asked
for when they sought "drastic"
action — not even remotely,
lingoist doctrine is incredibly
shortsighted, as France will soon
find out if Chirac insists upon
such a course.
With the potential for seven
more tests, each about three weeks
apart according to the scientists in
charge. President Chirac can
expect a long, drawn-out fight on
this issue. Furthermore, if the
threat of terrorism within France
should ever subside, Chirac will
have to cope with an ever- increas-
ing amount of resistance from his
own people as well as from
abroad.

The price of environmental quality
Erin
Barnes
The human and natural envi-
ronments are mutually associ-
ated in thai each needs the
other for survival.
Often times, this relationship
results in human comforts secured
at the expense of the community
and its surroundings. The practice
of use and abuse may continue to
the point where we will be responsi-
ble for our own sustainability with-
out the assistance of Mother Eanh,
upon which we have historically
relied. This ecological paradigm,
though mutually associated,
includes unfortunate trade-offs
between environmental quality and
human benefits or
comforts, such as
employment, private
property rights and
the economy.
A recent article
appeared in the Christian Science
Monitor which illustrates the diffi-
cult questions underlying the protec-
tion of the environment and a com-
munity's financial well-being. One
would think the goals of a healthy
environment and a sustainable econ-
omy could go hand in hand. when,
often times, the two objectives could
not be more divisive.
The article discussed how the
indigenous people of Ecuador have
waged an international legal battle
against a prominent U.S. oil compa-
ny. The $1.5 billion class-action law-
suit pending against Texaco was filed
on behalf of the 50,000 Indians and
colonists of the Amazon rain forest
who claim the company acted with
"callous disrespect for the health,
well-being and safety of the plain-
tiffs."
In addition, the lawsuit states
that "large-scale disposal of inade-
quately treated hazardous wastes
and the destruction of tropical rain
forest habitats caused harm to
indigenous peoples and to their
propeny." The San Francisco-based
Rain Forest Action Network main-
tains that Texaco has spilled some
17 million gallons of crude oil into
the Oriente, or Eastern Ecuadoran
environment.
Maria Aguinda, a plaintiff in the
suit, says water contaminated by
nearby oil wells has caused her to
have stomach and skin disorders, as
well as losing scores of the family's
livestock. Aguinda and others, who
cannot even speak their nation's
native language, are tww relying on a
court thousands of
miles away to ensure
them a better way of
life.
Given the devastating
health problems experi-
enced by the indigenous people, a
better way of life through public poli-
cy or c(MlirdeciA>n-making should
not be far. Ho\jftTT. a trade-off
exists, giving rise to an important
economic perspective that cannot be
overiooked, even by those who filed
the lawsuit. Oil is Ecuador's
lifeblood, a $1 billion-a- year indus-
try that represents 50 percent of the
nation's expon earnings and 62 per-
cent of its fiscal budget. Economists
say oil is the nation's best chance of
paying off a $12.6 billion foreign
debt.
In the meantime, as lawyers for
both sides argue in the courtroom.
Maria Aguinda remains hopeful,
envisioning a settlement with a sim-
ple outcome such as clean water for
she and her family to consume.
Unfortunately, the battle between
environmental quality and economist
interest is not merely international in
scope, as similar trade-offs occur
much closer to home I spent m\
summer working with the Regional
Office of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency assisting a com
munity in Rhode Island in protecting
their ground water and drinking
water resources from contamination,
including that from local heating oil
distributors.
I was al lorded the opportunity to
learn first-hand how community piT-
ceives environmental interests and
more importantly, the community's
willingness to pay for such protec-
tion. Though our goals emphasized
education over enforcement, it was
difficult to escape the regulatory
shadow under which government
inevitably finds itself.
Most business and industries
inherently fear regulalinn, kval gov-
ernment activities, or local interest
committees and organizations. Even
though it is important to involve
businesses in both non -regulatory
and regulatory related activitit.-s as it
fosters necxJed dialogue on issues and
concerns, and demonstrates an inter-
est In their role in the community,
convincing businesses of their role is
a challenge. espc-ciall> when money is
involved.
These trade-offs will not disap-
pear as long as we pit economic and
environmental interests against one
another. Sadly, this issue is further
aggravated by the fact it is difficult
to place a price on environmental
quality such as clean air and clean
water.
In Ecuador and closer lo home, we

Letters to the Editor
Facts incorrect in
book review
To the Editor:
Hussein Ibish's insulting attack
— in the guise of a book review
— on Professor Michael Klare of
Hampshire College, and on the
Five College Peace and World
Security Studies Program he
directs, in the Sept. 6 Collegian
was full of distortions. Its publi-
cation was an embarrassment —
less to Klare than to Ibish and
the Collegian.
Ibish implies the program is a
stooge for the Pentagon and its mili-
taristic policies. For example, he
writes that "Klare (and presumably
PAWSS too] never challenges the
basic assumptions underlying
American imperialism."
In actual fact, the PAWSS Program
since its inception in the eaHy "SOs
has nearly always been critical of U.S.
arms policies, and it has frequently
sponsored critical presentations or
symposia on U.S. foreign policy. I
suggest the Collegian check Ibish's
facts before accepting any further
contributions from him.

Students need to
speak out
To the Editor:
I am writing in response to
Matthew Wunzel's editorial in the
Sept. 1 3th issue, titled "Policy keeps
students locked in." In his article, he
expressed a desire to change the
University policy requiring under-
graduates to live on campus for their
first two years as UMass. I would like
to address our ability to change
University policies.
According to the Wellman
Document of the Board of Trustees,
the Student Government Association
Senate is empowered to make formal
recommendations to the University
administration to change UMass poli-
cies.
The Wellman process works as fol-
lows. First, you need to get a motion
passed in the Senate (and accordingly
become an Act) to make such a
change in University policy. Second,
the Speaker of the Senate submits the
Act of the Senate to the Chancellor
for consideration. If the Chancellor
approves the change, the motion is
sent to the University President for
approval. If approved, it is sent on to
the Board of Trustees, who have the
final say on all University policies. If
no action is laken by the Chancellor
or University President within 70
days of receipt, the Act is automati-
cally forwarded to the Board of
Trustees for consideration. In other
words, the student voice cannot be
ignored.
This past year was the first time
thai this Wellman process was in
place for students to take advantage
ol. but due to the high turnover of
Senators last year, it was not utilised
often enough.
So I say lo Matthew Wurtzel. or to
any student who is interested in
changing University policies, to
please contact the SGA. the
Senator(s) that represent you or
become a Senator yourself.
Nomination sheets are available in
424 Student Union and need to Ix- in
by next Monday at 5 p.m.. with the
elections being held next
Wednesday.
The student voice is only as strong
as the collcclive power of students
who choose to express and act upon
their opinions. I hop lo hear from
other concerned students like
Matthew Wurtzel during the course
of this year, to make this University a
better place for us all.

Iron Horse to host folk
legend Richie Havens
By Mike Burke
Collegian Staff
As an alumnus of several of the
big festivals of the I9t>0's. includ-
ing Woodstock. Monterey and the
Isle of Wright. Richie Havens has
seen his share of fame and atten-
tion.
He is one of the most signifi-
cant of the "protest" artists alive
today. In the 'bOs he was stx-n at
the forefront of the anti-war cam-
paign as his song "Freedom"
became synonymous with the
peace movement.
Havens' show at Woodstock
remains one of the most well
known performances in the rock
'n' roll era. Opening up the mas-
sive three day (estival. he held the
crowd in awe for almost three
hours. The Wooiistock documen-
tary shows just a brief portion of
his most celebrated set.
Over 25 years later Havens is
still an artist to be reckoned with.
Although now out of the public
eye. he has continued his career as
a successful folk singer. This
Sunday he will perform solo at the
Iron Horse in Northampton.
His most recent album, entitled
Cuts To The Chase, continues
Havens' success as a folk singer
with a message, as he performs his
own material as well as songs by
Bob Dylan and Sting.
When discussing the album title.
Havens said. 'Cuts To The Chase
means that there's something very
up-front, direct, and universal
about each of these songs."
Rtchie Havens performs two
shows at the Iron Norse Music
Hall in Northampton at 7:U0 and
10:00 p.m. on Sunday night.
Tickets are SI7 50 advance and
are available at the Northampton
Box Office

IfTTEK TO aiO
Pearl Street
September 1 3, 1 995
The status of pop has been fairly
consistent throughout the years.
Whether tretKls came and went with-
in a blink of an eye or stayed and
made lasting imprtrssions. a gixxl pop
song was a good pop song. The same
pertains today as Boston's own
Letters to Cleo proved Wednesday
night at Pearl Street.
Playing in support of their latest
record. Wholesale Meats and Fish
(Giant). Letters to Cleo. though look-
ing somewhat road weary, turned in a
strong and down lo earth perfor-
mance that supplied much more ener-
gy than any of their recorded works.
Vocalist Kay Hanley seemed to be
the focal point of the band. With an
air of nonchalance and schoolgirl
innocence. Hanley took charge from
the get-go. going through rockers like
"Demon Rock." "Awake" and "Fast
Way" to beautiful ballads
("Laudanum"). Her vocals were noth-
ing short of stunning, giving a crystal
clear representation of her capabilities.
Her bandmates fared just as well
offering a tight set in which sonic
passages never lost any sense of
melody. Stacy |oncs' powerful drum-
ming was the main source of energy
while Michael Fisenstein's rock gui-
tar mannerisms gave even more rea
son to pogo around.
Things didn't get fully rolling until
the second half, .started by a rousing
rendition of "Here and Now." the
band's bre-akthrough single from the
hit Fox TV series "Melrose Place "
Creating a bond of familiarity with
the audience, the band went on to
finish the majority of Wholesale
Meats and feature some tracks from
their excellent debut. Aurora Gory
Alice.
Letters to Cleo returned to Pearl Street this Wednesday night
. K*r|'.t .K«nt (A\S
"Pizza Cutter" and "Little Rosa"
yielded strong receptions in all its
pop sweetness while "I Sec." the song
many consider the band's first real
breakthrough, was an added treat to
die-hard fans.
It was quite obvious that the
majority of the crowd were there on
the basis nf "IKrc .iiul \ii\v " hut
Letters to Cleo's delivery of bciunc

to gel feet tapping and the good times

White returns to SF with Pats
By Hov/ord Ulmon

.-iK.4'l-2e.
11 halliinie is 20 minutes long,
tlu; coaches usually spend five to
eight minutes talking about what
we have lo do and then the rest
tellinjj us how to execute it." White
said.
"They didn't come to us till it was
almost time to go out (for the sec-
ond half). 1 guess they were just
really confused about what (the
4*}ers| were doing-
White plays the 49ers again
Sunday, this time as the starting
nose tackle for the New England
Patriots. He was a backup last sea-
son, playing in 1 1 regular-season
games but not in the Super Bowl.
The 49ers are off to a 2-0 start,
while the Patriots have struggled
offensively in splitting their two
games.
Yet While thinks the Patriots
have a chance even though they'll
be on the road against Steve Young.
lerry Rice and a strong defense that
already has scored on two intercep-
tions.
"They're not unbeatable." White
said. "You can put North Carolina
A&T vs. Florida State and North
Carolina A&T (his alma mater)
might win. You never know."
White, who has accomplished far
less than his namesake with the
Green Bay Packers, was signc-d as a
free agent as the Patriots tried to beef
up their average-sized defensive line.
The team lists him at 3 1 5 pounds,
although he was considerably larger
when he joined his new team.
"This guy's a man. This guy is
somebody that's going to have to be
reckoned with." Patriots coach Bill
Paaells said. "He's got good a.hletic
ability. He's in pretty good condition
now. That's what kept him from
being a good player in the past, his
physical stamina and endurance and
his weight problem. Those things
are not factors at this moment."
While won the nose tackle job in
training camp, replacing Tim Goad
who is starting for Cleveland after
the Patriots decided they wanted a
bigger player at that position.
White played well in the opening
17-14 win over the Browns but
struggled in the first half last
Sunday as Miami built a 17-3 lead
in its 20-5 victory. He fell he
improved in the second half. But
now he has to face the 49ers.

n opens in earnest on
.■ .i^ they will run against
■ her tearn^ at Boston, Mass.
Boston College. Brown. Delaware,
lona. Maine. Michigan. New
Hampshire and Northeastern will all
run Saturday.
It seems the strength of competi-
tion can only help ihe Minutemen's
cause in terms of reaching their goal:
Atlantic 10 Champions.
"If we come out of the weekend
beating halt of the teams we compete
against, I have lo be pleased consid-
ering how we are starting the sea-
son." he said.
Starting the season with solid lead-
ers will not be one of the teams prob
lems. juniors .Matt BchI and Mike
Macieko have been working very
hard over the summer and are in
excellent shape.
The question remains as to who
will be the three, four and five run-
ners for the team.
"There are a couple kids who
appear right now to be the ones who
will be backing Behl and Macieko
up." O'Brien said "Mark Buffone.
Timniy Boulard. Ryan Carrara and
Pal Murphy could all contribute. John
Way is also somwne I would put in
that category."
"I lell that with everyone reluming
from last year's squad we would be in
a lot better shape, but injuries have
hurl that." O'Brien said. "I wish I
could be more enthusiastic then I am
right now."
It does not appear that there will
be immediate help coming from any
newcomers to the squad as the fresh-
men who have joined the team will
lake some lime lo develop into colle-
giate runners.
"It's very different running in col-
lege than it is in high school."
O'Brien said. "When they ran in high
school it was only a three wild race,
now the distance is doubling on
them."
The Massachusetts women's cross
country team will iry to extend its
unbeaten streak to five this weekend
when they travel to Orono. Maine to
face off against Maine and
Connecticut.
The Minuiewomen opened up their
season last weekend with victories
over Brown. New Hampshire and
Maine, lo put their record at 3-0.
The Minuiewomen will rely heavily
on senior |en Waeger, juniors Kristen
Donaldson and Katie Greenia. and
sophomore Christy Martin. They are
four of the 1 5 returning runners.
UMass coach lulie LaFreniere has
been very pleased with the way her
team has been running, and one of
the major reasons for that is the dedi-
cation of her runners in the off- sea
son.
Sophomore Rebecca Donaghue is
one of the runners who has shown
major signs of improvement.
"Rebecca is in amazing shape."
LaFreniere said. "She is very compet-
itive and focused. She did what she
was supposed to all summer."
LaFreniere hoped that her team
would not take it easy this summer,
and they did not lei her down. It
seems her biggest success story has
been Donaghue.
"Rebecca is here because she
works very hard. She's tough as nails.
She should be up at the front (of the
pack). It would surprise me if she
wasn't. As for this weekend's meet
against Maine and UConn. Maine
should not be a problem. We beat
them easily [last weekend]."
LaFreniere is worried most about
UConn, as Maine has only one strong
runner.
"What will determine a win against
UConn is the three, four, and five
runners on both teams. If [we] can
run in a tight pack. |we) can win."
Another runner who LaFreniere
feels could be an asset lo ihe team, is
Danielle Wood, who is consistent.
The Minuiewomen have had their
share of bad news injury-wise.
Sometimes hard work can lead to
injuries, which is true for freshman
Suzy Hiischerich. who was running
well, but now has tonsillitis.
Melissa Langevin. last year's top
runner, will redshirt this year due to
injury. Although her absence will be
felt, the learn has taken a head-on
approach to the season. Many of the
other runners will be looking to step
up and fill the gap left by Langevin.
Runners like Martin, Greenia, and
Donaldson who thus far have clearly
not relied on others to bring home
the win.
LaFreniere has much confidence in
her runners from both ihe physical
and mental aspects.

The Minutewomen travel to Willianisburj:. \a. where
they will take on the 17ih ranked William .)t Mary

opponents.
"This week is a litmus test lor us," UMass coach lim

Rudy said. ".A test to see how we stack up with some of
the belter teams in the country that are out of region."
The first opponent will be the toughest for the
Minutewomen as they will play William & Mary, previ-
ously 5th ranked in the country.
"W&M is a very goini side in terms of their squad,"
Rudy said of the Tribe. "On paper, their squad looks very
good but they haven't quite gotten results. "They have been
quite disappointing."
After unexpected results in the past week against Texas
A&M and Southern Methodist University, a loss and a tie.
UMass isn't quite sure what lo expect from this talented
team.
"I expect that they are jusl going to play iheir hearts
out." Rudy said. "They have not played a typical W&M
style, which is typically a very pretty style of play. They
usually play a controlled game, a lot of wing play down
the flanks, they have a big kid up front in Natalie Ncaton.

their leading goal scorer with seven.
On Sunday, the opposition will be in the form of the
George Mason Patriots.
"George Mason is a very good side." Rudy commented
on their second opponent jf the weekend. "They are
loaded with talent."
That talent includes I isa Fchea up front, who in her
last game tallied five limes in her team's 14-0 victory over
Fast Carolina.
When asked afx)ut the strength of schc-dule this week-
end and throughout the year. Rudy said it was geared to
make them better later in the year.
"The point is to build and build over the course of the

week to prepare for a tough .\-\0 team like GW. then

"All this is preparjlion lor the A- 10 Championships

The injury lo Myers is compounded by the continuing

No. 15 Massachusetts will tangle
with the best there is in collegiate
field hockey this weekend when they
lake on No. 1 North Carolina
(Sunday) and No. 5 Old Dominion
( Friday >.
Massachusetts coach Megan
Donnelly said that because of the
high rankings of their opponents,
that the Minutewomen have nothing
to lose.
Although the Minutewomen enter
both games as heavy underdog.^, they
hope to repeal last year's upset spe-
cials.
North Carolina knows all too well
at>out those upsets, and alter being
knocked from No. I perch by the
Minutewomen a year ago. the Tar
Heels will have revenge on their
minds and won't take Massachusetts
lightly.
Donnelly said that the rivalry that
exists between UMass and UNC is a
friendly one.
"They like us. They just can't stand
that we beat them." Donnelly said.
"The kids all truly like each other.
They hang out together during the
off-season. It's a different kind of
rivalry because you don't want lo
lose to your best friends. It's made
the games excellent."
UNC has earned the lop spot this
season, as its four wins have come
against solid opponents. After pound-
ing then No. 10 Penn State b-0 in
their opener the Tar Heels ha\c
steamrolled over William & Mary
(5-1 ). Iowa (4-5) and Temple (4-0).
What may be most frightening
about North Carolina is that the
backlx^nc of the squad is made up of
freshmen and sophomores, leading
scorers Kate Barber (7 goals) and
Abbi Keller are only sophomores, as
is goalie lana W'ithrow.

UMass field hockey is hoping they can upset two of the all-time l)est$ in
one week like they did last year.
that North Carolina plays Old
Dominion on Saturday in a match
that the Minutewomen will be able to
observe. It the game is a grueling one
for UNC. UMass will have the advan-
tage ot being well-rested.
Old Dominion has been a long
lime nemesis for Masvachusetis. The
team, whose 1495 media guide's
cover reads "|u\t do it better." has

collegiate field hockey. The
Monarchs lead the all-time series
with lIMass 1 5-5. but the
Minutcwiimen captured the 1145
contest I -Oat home.
"Old Dominion is just excellent
year after year. They lost a ton jlrom
last year's team) and they're still
excellent." PKinnelly said. "It's almost
not fair."
Also in the almost unfair category
is goaltender Kim Decker The for-
mer US National Team MenifxT has
set a standard of excellence in the
Minutemen to face inter-state rival Holy Cross
Monarch net lor several years and is
living up to it again this year.
Like UNC. Old Dominion also
pounded Penn Slate 7-0 in its season
opener, but fell to No. ,? lames
Madison 1-0 and then rebounded to

The Minutewomen have had a

Ohio roadtrip marks first
as Soccer faces new rivals
By Leigh Torbin
Collegion Staff
lor ihe first lime this season the University of
Massachusetts men's soccer team will take to the road,
as they travel to Ohio to face new additions to the
Atlantic 10. Xavicr and Dayton, this weekend.
The Minutemen (5-1-1, 1-1 I A- 10) opened their
season with lour matches at Richard L. Garber Field,
and an oft campus home match.
This will be the first meeting ever between UMass
and both of this weekend's foes.
Twice already ihis season UMass has faced unfa-
miliar opponents and has not fared well, lying
Virginia Tech and losing to fordham. f-ollowing those
results. UMass can ill-afford a loss on this pivotal
conference trip.
Whether or .lol UMass will have A- 10 Rookie of
the Year Karsten Bremke is still a matter of concern.
Hremke has been sidelined for the past three games
with a groin pull. In his absence, the Minutemen
have played well, but not up to their full capabili-
ties.
Dave Siljanovski's status is also of some concern,
with a sore right knee. Siljanovski did not start on
Tuesday and only played about sixty minutes against
Siena.
Siljanovski is the team's leading scorer wiih tour
goals and five assists. Named the A-10"s Player of the
Week, he has tallied at least one point in each UMass
game thus far, picking up much of the scoring slack
while Bremke has been sidelined.
Tonight at 6 p.m. marks Xavicr's (1-5) inaugural
A- 10 match, after opening with four non-conference
opptincnts.
The Musketeers are making an event out of the occa-
sion as both the athletic depariment and Student
Activities Council are co-sponsoring a pregame tail-
gate party.
Senior Maurice Schilten has done much of
Xavier's scoring, leading the team with three goals
and seven points. The Musketeers are coming off of
their best season ever, posting a 12-8 record in
1944.
Daylon (5-2) is Sunday's opponent and will make
their A- 10 <lebut against the Minutemen as well.
Dayton is 5-1 at home thus far this season.
Freshman Kane Teeter has come off the bench to
score a pair of goals tying him with sophomore Drew
Kratcik for the team lead. Senior |oe Lehnuinn has
been solid in net posting a 0.S8 goals against average
and a pair of shutouts.
dated other teams. Now. wc are jusi playing the games,
win or lose."
Yarworth would also like lo see belter shooting and
shut selection from his team this weekend. On the season.
UMass has attempted 147 shots on goal, while only mak-
ing «7 goals, for a percentage of .452. Thai number is
down from last year's .516.
Senior Alex Mujica, who missed last weekend's games
due lo a pulled groin, expects to he back in goal for the
Minutemen.
UMass will also compete against the host of the tourna
mem, the US Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point,
NY., and lona
The team's goal once again will be to defend its crown
as EWPA champions
"Last year wc went 4-0 in round robin play. 5 0 at
F.aslerns. and 5-0 at the championships." Yarworth said
"That's hard to match but we're planning on it."
lAinutewomen
host invitational
By Steven Gront
Collegion Staff
After attending tournaments hosted by Hofstra
Liniversity and the liniversity of Califcirnia at Santa
Barbara, the University c>f Massachusetts volleyball
team will be taking part in one last preparatory
Invitational before their Atlantic 10 schedule
fvgins. its own.
The UMass Invitational begins todav at Curry
Hicks Cage, with the Minulewnmen (4-5) set lo
face Michigan (tonight at 7 p.m.). Brown and
Syracuse (tomorrow at noon and 5 p.m.), the three
other tcdiiis in the loumument.
UMass coach Bonnie Kenny no doubt would like
a better lournamcnl record than the one it earned
last week in Santa Barbara, where it defeated
Toledo, but lell to nationally ranked UCSB. nation-
ally ranked Utah, and San lose State.
"I think we're working hard." said Kenny "We're
working on the things we need to be working on.
But more time needs to be- spent working with our
younger players. Right now they require a lot of
individual attention. But overall the ef'lorl and inten-
sity is there."
Michigan (5-5) comes to town after playing some
lough teams as well, including the powerhouse
UCL.A Bruins, whom Michigan managed lo win a
game from. The Wolverines definitely have the
capabilily to give the Minulewomen a run for their
money. And because Michigan is the first team
UMass will play Ihis weekend. Kenny has primarily
focused on them this passed week.
"They have some gocul outside hitlers, and they
really serve the ball well," Kenny said. "To be suc-
cessful we're going to have to serve aggressively and
play great backcourt defense. Because it's the
defense that's going to score us our points.
"As far as Brown and Syracuse are concerned,
we'll be able lo watch ihcm play each other before
we face them ourselves, si.i that should give us a
good idea of what lo exiK-cl from them."
UMass' junior outside hitter Gi/a Rivera, sopho-
more middle blocker Michelle Paciorck and sopho-

Firm fires lawyer after suing Boston Latin
BOSTON (AP) - Partners at the
law firm Lane Altman & Owens
denied reports on Sunday that they
fired the Boston lawyer who is suing
the city over racial quotas at Boston
Latin School.
Michael McLaughlin said he had
been requested lo leave the firm,
where he has been an associate since
1992. because he refused a Request to
drop his challenge against the schcKil
department. But the firm said in a
written statement that McLaughlin
chose to leave after he refused to
comply with the partners' request
that he withdraw as lawyer — not
plaintiff — in the case.
"We did request that he replace
himself with more experienced and
objective counsel because he is not
experienced in such litigation and
because the suit involved his own
daughter." according to the state-
ment, which was releasc-d Sunday.
The partners also said
McLaughlin violated a firm policy by
not notifying them in advance of fil-
ing the suit.
McLaughlin was unavailable to
comment on Sunday. But on Friday
he read from a statement which he
said the firm's partners had drawn up
for him.
"I publicly announce that I am
leaving the fimi and that my depar-
ture results from the unwillingness of
the firm to have me affiliated with
representing my daughter in this
action." McLaughlin said.
The partners did not address com
ments on the issue made earlier by
[Xmald Bloch. a partner at the law
firm. The Hoslun Olohe had quoted
Bloch as saying that a fellow partner,
civil rights activist Henry F. Owens
Mi. had objected to the case.
McLaughlin fikxl the suit Aug. 1 1
on behalf of his 1 2-ycar-old daughter
Julia, saying she would have been
admitted to the prestigious school if
not for quotas that set aside J5 per-
cent of places for black and Hispanic
students.
McLaughlin said his daughter's
score on the entrance exam was the
same as or higher than 149 students
who were admitied. including lU^
blacks and Hispanics.
Bloch said Owens fell it would he
unethical for him to take civil rights
casc*s while Mcl-aughlin was pursuing
the Boston l.alin suit. Owens is a for
mer president of the Boston branch
of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People and
has been involved in several major
civil rights cases. He could not be
reachc*d for comment.

Vietnamese Americans diverse after 20 yrs
Professor talks on refugees, boat people, valedictorians, Bom to Kill & Buddhists
By Lisa Chiu
Collegian Staff
This year will mark the 20th anniversary of the
largest migration of Vietnamese citizens lo the
United Stales.
Last Thursday. Hien Due Do. a professor at San
lose State University, lectured at Amherst College
on "Refugees. Boat People. Valedictorians, Bom to
Kill, and Buddhist Monks: Understanding
Vietnamese in the United States."
Do spoke on the complexity and diversity of
Vietnamese Americans. These high school valedic-
torians are Ihe product of the earliest migration of
Vietnamese Americans; they had the opportunity to
immigrate to the United States much earlier than
most .
There are the Buddhist monks from San lose, a
group of women who, in order to raise money to
build a temple, collected aluminum cans for
redemption. When word got out of iheir unusual
fundraising methods, groups began to send dona-
lions for the temple, which when finally erected,
provided language classes and served as a commu-
nity center, according to Do.
Do's lecture dealt mainly with refugees and fxiat
ptx)ple, Vietnamese Americans that migrated to the
Unitc-d States between 1975-1978.
He spoke afx)ut the two types of refugees: 'antic-
ipatory refugees, those that anticipated and
planned to move out of Vietnam, and the acute
refugees, those who didn't anticipate coming to the
Unitc-d States and had to leave everything behind."
Do explained how most of the Vietnamese in the
United States are the "acute" refugees.
The first wave of refugees came fieforc the fall of
South Vietnam: these were the well informed. They
came from the big cities of Saigon, full of western
influence — the ones whom the U.S. arranged to
leave Vietnam, according to Do. Many of these
refugees either worked for the U.S. government or
for American corporations in Vietnam. This group
succeeded and survived in the United States.
The second wave, the fxiat pc-ople. comprised the
largest amount of refugees. Icfi following the defeat
of South Vietnam. On this date. 80,000
Vietnamese citizens travelcxi cither to ihe American
emfwssy or on makeshift boats, attempting to leave
their country. According to Do. these are the indi-
viduals and families that must people didn't think
would leave Vietnam.
"They were the rural, less educated Vietnamese
citizens, more likely to not succeed in the U.S.."
Do said. There were no arrangements by the
United States to help these refugees exit Vietnam.
They had poor navigational skills, and 50 percent
of them never made it to shore.
Tfiosc who did make it lo tfie United States were
faced with the "government dispersal policy." Do
said The U.S. government had many different
methods of resettlement, but the primary one was
Sponsorship. Volunteer agencies sponsored indi
vidual families to live with them, causing thou-
sands of Vietnamese to scatter throughout the
United States.
This was followed by a number of secondary
migrations. "The 1990 census showed that 73 per-
cent of all Vietnamese were concentrated in only
seven slates," Do said.
The last group of Vietnamese refugees Do dis-
cussed are the "Bom to Kill," a Vietnamese gang
based in California (alongside many other gang
groups, such as Asian Boyz or East Side
Troublemakers).
Do explained that these gangs provide a sense of
security that young Vietnamese Americans find nei-
ther at home or at school. Do attributed this lack of
security lo the fact that they are too "Americanized"
for their traditional parents, yet foreign to their
peers and teachers at school. For many of these
young Vietnamese Americans, verbal and physical
harassment in the schools is a daily occurrence.
"Gangs provide a way to protect themselves and
offer support." Do said.
The discus-
sion, entitled
"Bosnia and the
World: How to
Stop the
Killing," includ-
ed Frances _^_^^^^^__
Crowe of
American Friends Service
Committee, (jlenn Ruga of
Friends of Bosnia and Michael
Klarc of Hampshire College and
PAWSS.
All tha'c speakers voiced their
dissatislaciion with the current
political and diplomatic situation
in Bosnia.
"There is no military solution lo
this war." said Crowe, reacting to
increasc"d military involvement by
the UN Rapid Reaction Force and
NATO in recent weeks. "The solu-
tion will be political... the warring
parlies and Western diplomats
must look for common ground '
A military victory by either fac-
tion, in 4he end, would only cause
more human suffering, said
Crowe. "We must stop looking at
war in terms of victory and
defeat."
Crowe, whose organization
sends volunteers to Bosnia as con-
Hict resolution activists, advocates
a three step peace plan. First,
sanctuary must be provided to all
civilians who seek shelter from ihe
war Second, soldiers on all sides
must be encouraged to lay down
iheir amis. Finally, said Crowe, a
unbiased, "solid, multinational
force" must f)e sent to the region
lo replace the highly criticized UN
Protection Force.
Ruga was skeptical of Crowe's
seemingly passive approach,
favoring a more unyielding policy
towards the Bosnian-Serbs.
"The concept of 'a Greater
Serbia' is no different from the
Third Reich," Ruga said. In light
of such a comparison, allied
resolve, which demanded uncon-
ditional surrender from Nazi
Cicrmany in 1945, must be as
strong towards the Sertw in 1995.
"There is no mili-
tary solution to this
war "
- Frances Crowe
according to Ruga.
A dramatic parallel Ix'iween the
two regimes, said Ruga, was evi-
denced in the recent Serb occupa-
tion of Srebrenica, in which an
estimated (j.OOO Muslim men.
women and children were slaugh-
tered execuiion-style and buried
in mass graves. "We arc talking
about a carefully planned mas
sacre." Ruga said.
Ruga expressed frustration over
^^^^^__ the West's
inability to use
its power and
influence as a
force for peace
in the region,
saying the West
"completely
bungled any
opportunity to stop the conflict."
If air power was used thrcx' years
ago at ihe onset of the fighting, as
It is being used presently by
NATO, the conflict would have
never perpetuated itself this long.
"We must destroy their
weapons and arrest their leaders.*
said Ruga, who opposes the
U.S. 'backed peace plan which
allots 49 perceni of Bosnian terri-
tory lo Ihe Bosnian Serbs and 51
percent to the Muslim-dominated
government.
Klare. ihe third speaker, who
supports increased military
involvement in Bosnia, said the
intemational community has fven
unsuccessful in fostering a peace
agreement because 'wc lack a
clear analysis" of the situation.
"The purpose of the aggressor is
lo infiict pain and punisliinent on
a whole group." he said, who. in
this case, meant the Muslims.
The re -emergence of hale poli-
tics, evidenced in Russia and the
United States, is the "most worri-
some phenomenons in the post
Cold- War era," said Klare "For the
.sake of our freedom," he added, the
West must prevent the Serbs and
others from advancing this idcxik>gy
through the force of arms.
"Economic file in Serbia must
come to a stand still," Klare said.
Furthermore, the United States
should commit ground troops to
the region, as the current military
policy which limits U.S. forces to
air strikes is taking "the easy way
out" of a conflict which needs sac-
rifice and commitment to resolve.
"Politicians of hale do not listen
to the politics of peace," said
Klarc, thus, leaving the West with
few alternatives b-.-sides bolstered
military involvement.
Chancellor speaks on pay negotiations
By Robert Dunn
Collegion Sloff
Activism in front of the library
OATMION IMITH/COIIECIAN
Michael Woroniecki, in the background, and his family preached to students on Friday afternoon in front
of the W.E.B. Du Bois Library. Woroniecki was met with friction and jeering from the crowd of students.
Angry protesters and an outline of Chancellor David
Scott's goals for the University of Massachu.setts through
the next century highlighted the faculty Senate meeting
last Thursday.
The protest was organized by the Massachusetts Society
of Professors (MSP), and consisted of faculty members
and librarians upset over the perceived lack of action in
delivering their negotiated contract.
More than 30 protesters stood at the back of Herter
227, some carrying hand-painted signs criticizing the
University's handling of negotiations thus far.
Signs carried slogans such as, "Coach Cal. can you
spare a dime?", and "3 years and no raises? Get serious."
Leo Richards, president of the MSP. addressed the sen-
ate meeting with what he called good news and bad news.
The good news, according to Richards, was that $37
million has been set aside for collective bargaining raises.
The bad news, he said, was that "the trustees haven't real-
ly been bargaining in good faith."
He went on to cite an August 30th meeting between
faculty and the board of trustees at which Chairman of
the Board of Trustees. Dan Taylor, failed to show, and a
September 7th meeting which Richards called "a disas-
ter,"
Richards called the protest the "first step" in drawing
attention to the faculty's plight, and said he hopes that
future demonstrations will have more impact.
At the meeting. Chancellor Scott made references to a
report released in VM. Neus and World Report in which
UMass finds itself in the second of four tiers of colleges
and universities across the country.
The poll based its standings on areas such as SAT
scores of incoming freshmen, retention rale, graduation
percentage, and alumni giving rate.
Other universities in the second tier include Boston
University, the University of Connecticut and Worcester
Polytechnic Institute.
Scott handed out his own grade for Ihe university on an
overhead display which read. "A is for Amherst."
He then went on to display university trends since 1982
in such areas as operating budget, SAT scores of incoming
freshmen and research grant funds.
Scott showed how those trends rose during the early
1980s, fell from 1988-1994, and are now in an upward
swing.
Scott hopes that those areas will continue to improve
throughout the next century, with more and continued
support from the state administration.
"J weep for what wc might be if we had half a chance."
he said.
The Chancellor was quick to give credit away for the
improvements that the University has made, calling them
the 'results of the achievements of this campus t>efore I
came."
Early in the meeting, time was spent covering various
issues facing the campus, including building repairs, plans
for construction on campus and a short address from the
Graduate Student Senate President. Shan Manikkalingam.
Manikkalingam criticized the faculty senate for not
involving the GSS in any recent changes in administrative
changes or the formulation of what he referred lo as 'top-
down plans".
A progress report of sorts was made on the a-pairs to
the Fine Arts Center. Although crews have finished ihcir
work on the building, the senate says that it is still "not
satisfied" with the job and that Ihe building still leaks.
The senate says that it is 'vigorously pursuing' the state
to provide a solution to complete the project.
lohn Braccy, the secretary of the faculty Senate,
received a round of applause from the audience when he
suggested the planning and construction of new class-
rooms on campus.
"With all the planning going on. what seems to have
been lost is the idea of a classroom building. Every plan
we have is about wonderful buildings, but how atx)Ut a
building that we can walk into and teach students in?"
Bracey asked.

Performance used to empower
Northampton Celebration ofWomen^s Voices raises money
By Maureen Rozanski
Collegian Staff
Last Thursday evening the First Churches in
Northampton hosted an event that was aimed at com-
municating and empowering the public through
acoustic music, poetrv'. and performance an.
The event, titled "A Celebration of Women's Voices-
was an example of the true meaning of the word bene-
fit. The equipment used by the performers was donated
by local organizations and the perionners volunieert'd
their talents.
Pruducer Robert Fisher introduced the performers by
playing instruments and singing songs. He later said.
"Music is sweet life."
.\ performance by lanet Aalfs. from the Valley
\Somen's Martial .Arts, combined poetry and martial art
movements. She spoke of a language of love that "is
spoken through communication, and is a collective
process of finding and using our voices."
Other performances included acoustic music by Amy
Fairchild. Linee Perroncel and the group Krislen and
Sandi. Susan Stinson recited poetry.
Robert Fisher's Productions & Promotions, a compa-
ny that was originated and funded by the Department
of Mental Retardation, spon.sored the event. Fisher's
production was first attempt made by the department
to support the talents and goals of its patients.
Aimee Mitchell, coordinator of Pioneer
Developmental Services for the Department of Mental
Retardation, helped Fisher's elfort to make the pro-
duction. Mitchell said. "This is a radically, innovative,
and different kind of event."
It gave the Department of Mental Retardation the
opportunity to support Fisher's dream of producing his
own prixluction. and to donate all proceeds from the
show to two local women's organisations in
Northampton. Necessities/ Nccesidadcs and the Ware
V^'omen and Family Resource Center received the dona-
tions raised during the event.
Roz Cuomo, funds manager for Necessities/
Necesidades said. "We received a phone call inviting us
to come. We thought, this is great."
The two organi/jitions will use the donations to buy
books for their resource centers, to .%end women to con-
ferences, and to intprove their shelters.
The New England Learning Center for Women in
Transition (NELCVVITi. Lesbian Education and
Volunteers for Health (l.EAHt and the Breast Health
Project were invited to the show.

only replied by stating. "Bargaining continues.*
The MSP refuses to give up they said. They will continue to urge Scott to make the contract his first priori-
ty. The protest was only the first in a series of demonstrations which will take place over the next two months.
The Collegian regrets the error.

Serbs get extra
72 hours before
Li.N. deadline
By Maud S. Beelman
Associated Press
is.-\R.A|E\ O. Bo>niaHcrzcgovina
— \\ L'stcm ollkials said vcstfrdas the
Bo-nian Serbs were pulling their big
guns away from Sarajevo, and ga\e
the rebels another 72houi reprieve
from the threat of devastating air
attacks.
At the same time, the Serbs v^ere
trving to fight off an advance b\ gov-
ernment troops in western Bosnia.
Thousands of refugees fleeing the
fighting choked the roads leading to
the Serb stronghold ot Banja Luka.
International mediators were Irving
to incorp».>rate the shifting bailie lines
into their plans. The\ said ihe govern-
ment's advance on Banja Luka could
draw Serbia, the major pv.>wer in the
region, into the fighting.
"The next tew days and hours may
determine the fate of the war." said
U.S. envoy Richard Holbrooke.
In a statement issued in Zagreb.
Croatia, the UN. and N.ATO com-
manders said they had postponed a
deadline of 10 p.m. (4 p.m. EDT)
Sunday because the Serbs wen: show-
ing "initial compliance" with demands
to pull artillery and other heavy
weapons back at least 12 1/2 miles
from Sarajevo.
"Therefore, we agreed that the sus
pension of the airsirikes be extended
fur an additional 72 hours." said a
statement by NATO commander
Adm l.eighion Smith and U.N. com-
mander It. Gen. Bernard Janvier of
France.
The new deadline expires at 10 p.m.
(4 p.m. EDTl on Wednesday. "It is
our common judgment that the
BoNnian Serbs have shown a substan-
tial start towards withdrawing their
heavy weapons beyond the limits ol
the exclusion zone." said the state-
ment.
It didn't say how many weapons the
Serbs withdrew by Sunday night, but
Bosnian government radio put the fig
ure at about 150. The Serbs were
thought to have had about 'SOO heavy
weapons in place At midnight
Saturday, the Serbs had removed 71.
according to the United Nations.
"The additional 72 hours will per-
mit the Bosnian Serbs to complelelv
relocate their heavy weapons beyond
the limits of the Sarajevo TEZ (total
exclusion zone I." the statement said
Smith and lanvier notcxl that the Serbs
had allowed the Sarajevo airport to
resume operations and that roads into
the city had reopened for use l)y the
United Nations and aid agencies.
They indicated one of their next
steps would be to bring together Serb
and Bosnian government commanders
to discuss a cease-fire around
Sarajevo.
The NATO and UN commanders
warned that if the Serbs didn't keep
their promise, or attacked within the
zone around Sarajevo, airstrikes
would resume.
The commander of Serb troops
around Sarajevo. Gen. Dragomir
Milosevic, said that by 6:30 p.m.
(I2;30 p.m. EDTi. half of the
weapons had been removed, and the
rest would be pulled out by
Wednesday night.
In Western Bosnia. Serb forces that
once seemed invincible melted away
before an offensive by troops of the
Muslim-led government.
Bosnian Prime Minister Maris
Silajdzic wouldn't say how far govern-
ment forces might go. But he said he
believed that for the fir.t lime in the 5
1/2-year-old war. they were in control
of the situation.

organized by Bosnian Serb officials.
saw about 60 pieces of heavy weapon-
ry near the edge of the 12 1/2-mile
zone, heading away from Sarajevo.
OIT releases software for Web access
By Jacob W. Michaels
Collegian Staff
Cici vour mouse, turn on your com-
puter, and fasten your seat bells. The
University of Massachusetts is about
to take the next step onto the infor-
mdiion superhighway.
For most American universities.
and most of the world, getting on
Ihe World Wide Web (WWW)
means the chance to see amazing
graphics and pictures and using the
mouse to get around to find any-
thing that may strike your fancy.
(See related story.)
However, up until now, most
LMdss students can only see the
WWW in a text-only format. Today
the University's Office of Inlonnaiion
Technology (OITi is unveiling their
new UM.Access software which will
allow students to get full V\eb capa-
bilities, including graphics and
click-and-point capability.
"It is something we've wanted to
do for a long time." said Chuck
Lyman, the associate director of OIT
"We've been working on it since the
beginning ol .Mav."
Ben DeLong. a sophomore com-
puter science major at UMass. said.
"It's about time. I am extremely...
impressed and happy at the amazing
effort OIT put into this. . They've
done a phenomenal job getting this
together.
"The Web is just starting to
ixconie very well known I think it's
been underrated up to this point."
said IVl ong, who has worked with a
nmiiber of groups on campus to help
set up W eb pages. "I think the Web is
important because it is a way ol
putting inforntatiun in one place
where people can find it all of the
lime."
The new programs will also help
students who may want to build
their own pages on the Web.
because they will now be able to see
the graphics W hile C^IT is willing to
help students set up pages, they do
not have a scanner for sludenls to
use to upload pictures onto their
pages, I yman said.
New software
Students will K able to pick up the
new soltware in the OIT offices in
Ledeile low rise starting today. The
new program is free, with the S20
account fee.
Alter students install the
UM.Access software onto their com-
puters ihev are instructed to down-
load Netscape which allows them to
view the Web's graphics, and use
their mouse.
.Another feature of the new soft-
ware is it will run faster than the
Procomm and Microphone programs
most students currently use The new
soltware runs at H.2lH.> baud, which
is double the speed of the curicni
programs.
I vman cautioned that it may not
seem anv faster, however, since the
complex graphics i^n the WWW l.'ke
a long time to be displayed
He explained that students will not
need to gel new Terminal Adapter
Units in order to run the faster soil
ware, since they were niLtdilied over
the summer to be able to function al
the higher speed. Olf-^campus stu
dents will still be able to use their
nuKlenis as well
Beta Test
The new software is technically
being beta tested through the fall
semester, I yman said
"It's pretty damn near a complete
product." he said "We are looking
for problems. Were exf)ecting prob
Icms... but not because ol the soli
ware "
He added that there was a 10^ per
son "SWAT team" which would be
giving a very high priority to prob
lems with the new technology.
Lyman also said he expects the
office to be swamped over the next
two weeks, so some students may
want to wait to pick up the software,
and avoid the long lines.
In other words, you need to get
through the traffic tjetore you get to
the on-ramp to the information
superhighway.
World Wide Web offers a variety of information
By Matthew Wurtze<
Collegion SiaH
If you were ever interested in find-
ing out w hen a movie is playing al the
local theater, but could not keep up
with the recording on ihe voice mail,
mavbe sou should check the World
W ide Web.
AT&T is not bringing vou the ser-
vice, but small local companies are.
Examples like the one above are
available today on the Web.
The Web is a place very similar to
its older cousin, ihe Internet, where
people can acquire information or
just have a good time.
There are numerous sites students
can log into at no cost Whether stu-
dents have interests in music, money,
or movies — it is out there.
F.ntertainment news and info
abound on the Web including local
entertainment news.
A local site of interest may be The
Virtual Valley WWW Page al
hltp://www. virtual- valley. com. The
Virtual Valley is operated by a
University of Massachusetts sopho-
more. Benjamin DeLong
The Virtual Valley provides stu
dents with information about the
movies playing at the Hampshire Six
Movie Theaters, concerts coming to
the area, and even shopping. The
Virtual \ alley also hopes to connect
students with lc>cal leaders
Another entertainment orientated
page is operated by W.AAK. a Boston
based radio station. It has the play
list, background on disc jc>ckeys. and
concert inlomiation. The W AAH Web
address is http://ww-w.WAAI com.
Students interested in comics
might want to check out the Uncanny
\-Page at http://www. students.
uiuc.edu/-m- blase/x-page html.
Lor the sports-minded there is the
LSPN page, which is chock lull of the
latest sports infurtnalion The address
is al http://espnet.sponszone.com.
Students who are interested in
their money may went to cheek out
BayBank's new page at
http://www.hay bank com.
The i^yBank page provides stu-
dents wiih an interactive adventure in
banking. The page has a graphic lay-
out like a dormitory room, and click-
ing on certain items in the room will
reveal dillerent types of info, from
how to manage a check book to
Massachu.setts entenainmeni news.
In additic>n to the various commer
eial pages, there is practically an infi-
nite number of independent pages
Some people who have found nothing
of interest themselves have started
their own f>agcs.

Dickinson Hospital in Northampton, where he
was pronounced dead on arrival. The UMass
and state police are still investigating Jack's
death, although no foul play is suspected at this
time.
We ore all shocked and grieved by Jack's
death. We hove been working hard this morn-
ing to morsholl our resources so we can help
Jack's family, friends, teachers and other stu-
dents.
We have many campus resources to assist
you in dealing with Jack's death. These include
the staff in trie residence halls, the Dean of

any of these services.
I feel a deep sense of loss at Jack's death as
many of you will.

The fine line of free speech
1 recently read the Massachuielis Supreme court ruled
for the I'irM time that the Constitution does not extend
free speech to people who threaten their spouses.
The ruling came from a case in which a woman
obtained a restraining order against her husband and felt
it would not be enough. Alter getting the order, the hus
band came along and verbally harassed and threatened the
woman.
The husband's defense team claimed he was entitled to
make thai threat under the guise that it is "free speech."
The court ruled against him. saying the threat was the
legal equivalent of the crime of assault or abuse. The
judge in the case ruled "...Clearly, the First .■Xmendnieni
docs not protect conduct iliat threatens another." accord-
ing lo an article in the Boston Globe.
Alter reading the story I fell pushed and
pulled by the many issues that were arising.
I am a women's studies major, and also a
firm believer in freedom of speech.
The right to free speech is one of the
greatest freedoms we have in this country. Unlike others
in the world, people in the U.S. can announce anything
they like without the threat of prosecution .And here, in
the U.S.. that even extends to hate speech. As much as I
despise the Klan and Neo-Nazis. I will always defend
their right to say what they want.
Mind you. this thought isn't original Voltaire was the
first one to lay it on the line about free speech. He said. "I
di.sapprove of what you say. but I will defend to the death
your right to say it."
I also believe victims have the right to be protected
from their abusers. No one should have to live in fear
because someone is trying to hurt them Women have the
right lo expect the court system and society will protect
them from their potentially violent ex-husbands
Obviously those ideas clash The fine line between the
freedom ot speixh and the freedom to live without fear is

Trapped in a world unGratefully Dead
X erry's dead.
I ^'es. it has been over a month now since
I Grateful Dead froniman lerry Garcia passed away.
and believe it or not. the world has kept on turning.
For awhile it was looking pretty ugly. On the day the
news quickly spread throughout the worid that Garcia
had died in a drug rehabilitation center, society was
beginning to seem like a grim place. I remember seeing
tons of disillusioned, scruffy kids, decktxi out in their
tie-dyed uniforms, aimlessly meandering the streets
with vacant looks in their eyes that could only have
said one thing:
"li/ii/i the am I going to do now?'
I scolled. "Get a life." I mumbled under my breath. I
mean, how could this rag-tag band of old-timers who
had been kicking around since the age of the dinosaurs
mean so much lo so many people'.' Were kid's lives so
completely empty and so desperate for something to
cling lo that they would nightly subject themselves to
20-minuie versions of "Fire On The Mountain"'.'
I dismissed this national youth mourning as noihing
more than a phase which would pass as soon as the
kids realized they could just start following Phish.
Blues Traveler or any other of those
equally underwhelming hippie acts.
But then a strange thing happened.
Belore poor lerry 's body could be rested
into the ground, a bizarre phenomenon
began lo occur Everybody (and I mean
c\ er\hod\\\ was coming out and
expressing their sorrow and telling their
war stories about how much Garcia and
The Dead meant lo them.
Righi-wing politicians were coming
out of the rock n" roll closet and admit-
ting they were secretly Dead lovers (but
I bet ihey still didn't inhale), while mag-
azines such as Entertainment Weekly and Rolling
Stones were devoting entire issues lo the late musician.
Kven my dad (a three- piece suit banker-type) was
bummed out over the death of Garcia.
W hat ihe hell was going on'.'
Was I the only human being on earth who did not
see what the big deal was'.' Was I the only one who had
once got to see the legendary band and nearly fell
asleep watching a then obese Garcia stand like a statue
and noodle around on his guitar for four hours?
Obviously so. Sure, it's a sad day when anyone as tal-
ented as Garcia is lost, but come on. weren't we all
gelling a bit carried away here'.'
All ol ii sudden I was a refugee in a world of
CJratefully Dead people. My friends looked at me as if I
were the living and breathing human incarnation of
Satan when I expressed my feelings about both Garcia
and The Dead. Their cold glances just about shouted
the word "blasphemer," and soon I was slowly but
surely beginning to feel as though I was the biggest,
most ignorant, jerk in the whole world.
Then, just as I was about to admit that I must be
abnormal. I realized what was really going on here. I
found myself talking to people, both kids as well as
adults, who acted all distraught about the loss of
Garcia, but in actuality knew absolutely nothing about
the iTian or his music. Yes. the world was crawling
with people who bore those silly Grateful Dead teddy
bears on their shirts and on their cars like member-
ship cards but wouldn't know the Dead from Culture
Club.
"t/i. / like that song about driving a train on
voiuine.' was what I heard day in and day out. Then
an explanation suddenly occurred to me. Somewhere
between the band's incarnation in the 'bOs and the pre-
sent. Garcia and The Grateful Dead had somehow
miraculously morphed from an influential rock band
into a multi-media corporation. Don't believe me'.*
Pick up the latest issue of Entertainment
Weekly and towards the back you'll find
a page advertisement that allows you to
buy all sorts of Garcia merchandise —
including the lerry Garcia neck-tie!
Ol course when any "rock star" dies
their image is most likely going to be
exploited for profit (some of those Kurt
Cobain shirts, like the one with his
death certificate on it. make me sick),
but the lerry Garcia neck-tie'.' Does any-
body else in the world see the absurdity
of this?
All of a sudden 1 don't feel so bad. At
least I'm being honest — I don't know, or care to
know, much about Garcia and his former band, and
I'm not going to fake it because our consumer-based
culture says it is the cool thing to do. It's an insult lo
both your ability lo choose what you like and dislike,
as well as to the people who truly loved and admired
what Garcia did in his lifetime.
Bui still, everyday I see more bodies clad in Grateful
Dead paraphernalia. I can't help but think how many
of these people are really fans of Ihe band's creativity
or how many of them just gave in lo all Ihe media and
commercial hype. I guess, if the business men have
their way. we will all eventually be one of lerry 's kids
— whether we like it or not.

easily crossed and re -crossed. Neo-Nazis can tell me that
all lews should die. and that is protected as free speech. A
lomier partner could tell me he halc>d me and wanted to
kill me and that could not be protected as free speech.
How do we make the line a little more visible and harder
to cross'.'
On an intellectual level. I believe in Voltaire's ideas.
But as a woman who has suffered at the hands of an
abuser. I firmly believe in the right to be protected.
Only victims can know the fear of not knowing who or
whai lies around the next comer. I can't expect the courts
or the abusers to know how that feels, but I can ask them
lo understand and empathize what it feels like.
Ol course, you can play the devil's advocate and say
that if you deny the hate speech, you start
to deny other forms of speech.
Pornography also falls under the same cat-
egory.
So what is the solution? Perhaps we
need to come to the understanding that
Ireedom of speech is not really free, it does carry a price.
Unpopular beliefs and ideas are always subject to ridicule.
Galileo was punished for proclaiming the world was
round and the Earth circled the sun. John Scopes was the
subject ol a national trial for teaching Darwin's thtvries
as correct and crealionism as wrong.
Unpopular ideas are the basis for change in society,
but can we support those ideas when they put others at
risk''
I don't think so. America has ideals for freedom of
speech, for equality, for justice. But America is hardly
ideal, tqualily. justice, free speech and other things arc
only ideals in this country — not a-alily. Reality is that
husbands K-at. and sometimes kill, their wives. Reality is
that women are fighting lo be able to live their lives with
out fear.

greater than turnouts for meetings
later on.
Last Tuesday's Info-Social was no
exception, with nearly 50 UMass stu-
dents cramming into a room high in
the Campus Center. A dozen people
had to sit in the mid-
dle of the room,
(chairs ran out
quickly) and those
who arrived later
ended up squashed
together near the
door.
Once the meeting
came to order the
audience was atten-
tive, listening to the
official speakers talk
about volunteer opportunities,
upcoming events, and group plans
for the future. They laughed at the
facilitator's jokes, nodded their heads
in agrc-emcnt. and spoke up now and
then asking questions.
What wasn't apparent until the
end of the meeting, however, was the
real agenda of the LBGA. The one
item that keeps people showing up
for meetings again and again. Want
to know what that agenda is?
Connecting people.
People who hadn't seen each other
all summer were exchanging greet-
ings and hugging. The noise level
went through the roof, and laughter
rang out into the hallway. People had
conncvted.
As individuals and as a group, gay.
lesbian and bisexual people are
among the most socially isolated
minorities, and it is for this reason
that organizations like the LRGA
keep running.
While there is something to be said
for "gaydar" (a kind of sixth sense
that allows some GLB people to
know who their friends are) and for
being "out." to a large extent. GLB
people are often left at
the mercy of situations
such as LBGA meetings
to find their fellows.
Societal homophobia
leaves them with little
choice.
While a black student
can usually pick out
other blacks by sight, a
lesbian student will find
her job considerably
more complicated. The
world is a dangerous place for les-
bians to live, and it's not often that a
woman comes along wearing a big
button that says "I'm a lesbian."
But there are a number of other
ways for a lesbian to find other les-
bians. Visiting clubs and bars on
"giris night out." Signing up for class-
es in GLB studies or even women's
studies. Going to GLB lectures, con-
certs and workshops. Checking out
people on the street. Keeping her
cars up and listening.
All this in mind, it is stilt quite a
feat to find someone. And even when
they do. their search methods are far
from foolproof.
What is she looking for anyway?
An admission? A certain hairstyle''
Some kind ol psychic message'
Ultimately, the end of a successful
search coines only when one lesbian
looks at another lesbian or a bisexual
woman and ^ays. "This is what I am '
There can be a lot of guessing in
between, but this is what it conicv
down to.
As it turns out. on this campus the
rough translation of "This is what I
am" is attendance at Ihe weekK
LBGA Info- Social. Even when yuu
account lor heterosexual allies, a
room of 50 men and women expeti-
ing to talk about GLB issues c-quaK a
room full of what many GLB pi-opic
would call "family."
Some people might ask why all
these people showed up. Others
would ask why the lesbian siudeni
was so obsessive about finding some
one to talk with and be with. Snll
others would want to know why ans
of ihese people would want to gel
together at all — besides the "obvi-
ous" reason of arranging sex and
plotting to corrupt society.
Based on the facts, however, mo-i
people came lo talk, meet people,
exchange stories and share with each
other an element of themselves lhc\
often find they must hide from the
world.
They came lo find a place where
they could be their whole selves with
out worrying about bad things that
might happc-n to them.
They came to the meeting because
this is who ihey are, and this is who
they want to remain.

Up and down the dial Alternative
Radio is a phrase which fills the
minds of radio exec's with warm
thoughts of dollar signs, and fills our
ears with a mediocre lot of rehashed
melodies and half-assed attempts at
breaking new musical ground.
This title, however, is a misnomer
as you would be hard pressed to find
an alternative to Alternative Radio
anywhere in the country. The perpe-
trators of this homogenizing of
American radio are. of course. Ihe
radio stations. Across the country
there are a litany of stations who
have changed their ba)adcast stripes.
Paul A. Sarkis
as it were, and are lining up to switch
their programming to the new. hip.
sounds of American Pop Culture.
In Boston, for example. WBCN
wants to be VVFNX. WFNX is sud-
denly top 40. and WAAF, having dis-
pelled its glam-rock crown of the
_^_^^___^,^ '80s is suddenly
the home of
"New Music."
The difference
between these
stations? It is
minimal to say
I he least.
WFNX has
remained basi-
cally the same
while the music
it has been play-
ing since its
inception has
burst into popu-
larity like so
much fresh
rainwater satu-
rating the
steamy pave-
ment on a fur-
nace-blasted
summer day.
I draw this
analogy for a
reason. Like the
rainwater, this
new music was
,.,., refreshing and
(tilterent in Ms initial insurgence after
Ihe deluge over the dry monotony of
'«0s radio began. However, the result
was the same. Today's radio, like the
runofi from a roadway after a late
summer thunderstorm, is tasteless
bland and an increasing nuisance as
It meanders its way in one singular
direction into the gutter.
The current programming has its
roots in the music hwm of the early
and REM have become the staples of
this meager crop of music, and these
bands may he found on one of these
stations at any given lime. In order to
fill the void left between the lew
quality tracks available, the stations
that aa- caught up in this M'A— esque
hoopla take much less appealing
music, wrap it in an Alternative rib
bon. and jam it down our throats in
an endless barrage of monotony
which leaves us dazed.
After listening to the radio for any
amount of time, which I am usually
forced to do at work and so forth, my
mind becomes so fixated on the two
or three songs of the day that I can
not prevent the corny riffs or inane
lyrics from repeating in my head,
much as they do on my radio diul
The programming on these stations
overlaps to such an extent that it is
extremely difficult to find anything;
new these days.
Our radio stations are locked in an
interweaving myriad of recent hits
and upcoming pop idols. The well
has run so dry that a band such iis
Silverchair has been catapulted inli>
popularity based almost solely on the
fact they were billed as having a simi-
lar sound to Pearl lam.
The list goes on. but the quality
consistently plummets. I'm sick of
Green Day. I hope the Gin Blossoms
will in the current drought, and
would like to see Tripping Daisy
break their necks upon landing
When bands such as Sponge, (whose
lead man has fake heroin addict track
lines tracing his arms) and solo acts
like Alanis Morrisel begin lo over-
shadow premium artists like Bob
Mould and Matthew Sweet, then we
have already reached a musical
trough which again needs to be
uprooted, perhaps with more pro-
gressive consequences.
Until then. I'll continue lo find it
more and more difficult lo extract the
same passion out of bands like Live
and Alice in Chains when they are
served up as appetizer, main course,
and dessert by the proprietors of the
"Music Revolution."

Disco divas dance at Bluewall
Authentic *70s garb, funky grooves set mood for evening
By Laura Slock
Collegion Staff
DISCO:
BOOGIl DOWN AU NIGHT LONG
Blu«wall
Seplwnb«f 14, 1995
The mirrored ball shone upon a
crowd of disco lovers who had
come out of the closet, dusting off
their mothball- scented bcllbot-
toms and unabashedly shaking
their booty to the Bee Gees at the
Bluewall on Thursday night.
DIs Billy Arnold and Robert
Dwelley provided the "TOs grooves
at the admission-free disco
"Boogie Down All Night Long"
dance. Seventies costumes were
encouraged, and the garb ranged
from leisure suits to sequined mini
dresses, accesorized by love beads,
medallions and mood rings.
The music set the mood,
though. Tunes from Btondie.
Gloria Gaynor and Kool and the
Gang kept everybody groovin' and
singing at the top of their lungs.
The general consensus among
the disco fans was that the night
was "groovin."
'I love disco. Its great to dance
to. and everybody looks great
tonight." said student and dancer
Tom Myer.
Student Gary Raymond's opin-
ion of the evening was: "Fierce
divas, very disco-ish, having loads
of fun with the boys and girls."
The buzz that circulated around
the dance floor was due to the
perfomiance by a Madonna imper-
sonator. Chris Savunsko. dressed
in a blonde wig. black leather
bustier, knee high boots, fishnet
stockings and sequined shorts, did
a very authentic and electrifying
rendition of the disco version of
Madonna's "Fever."
"My act is an attempt at retro
Madonna. I'm pleasantly surprised
and glad to be seen in front of
such a great audience." Savansko
said.
The night was summed up t>est
by student Karen Dahlslrom. who
.said. "Tonight was excellent, we
need more of it."
The dance was one of the first
events of the year-long 25th
Anniversary of the Campus Center
celebration.

Pearl Street
September 1 4, 1 995
Last Thursday night Pearl Street
fans got to check out luliana
Hatfield, who is considered by some
to t>e the pioneer of the new surge of
female stars from Boston. Playing
songs from all of her solo albums.
Hatfield brought along the often
overblown image of the cver-so-hip.
female alternative singer as she put
her self on display in front of a
packed crowd.
The best aspects of the night were
fuliana's great attitude and pleasant
vibes. The set started off loud and
hard as luliana and her four member
backing band performed a bunch of
rough-edged, hard-driven, guitar-
slinging songs. Since she had dyed,
bleach blonde hair similar to the
color and length of Kurt Cobain's. a
presence reminiscent of the late
superstar could be felt. Many times
throughout the night, luliana hid
behind her hair and her bangs, using
her concealment as a weapon to
unload her material.
The most interesting point of the
night occurred near the beginning of
the set. Hatfield was rocking along
and hypnotizing the crowd, when all
of sudden she blurted out. "I don't
have a good voice, my voice sucks."
taking everyone by surprise, includ-
ing her most devoted fans. Maybe
one would expect this from a friend
or even a t>eginning singer, but not
from the respected Hatfield.
Alter her brief outburst. Hatfield
continued singing. The unexpected
statement actually freed her voice
from any worries of living up to her
near Ic-gendary reputation. She sim-
ply utilized her Berklee-trained
voice as would an ace guitarist with
his instrument — taking it to
extremes and not holding anything
back.
Pearl Street always has a tough
crowd to please, and often the
crowd will stand with their arms
crossed waiting for a performer lo
musically take them away. With the
help of her band. Hatfield gave just
that — an entrancing show that
engulfed the crowd with emotions of
vengeance and mysticism.

Dear Yoo
GeHen
After putting out three indepen-
dent records on various labels,
lawbreaker from San Francisco has
released its major latwl debut. Dear
You, on which the trio takes their
emotional punk sound lo new lev-
els.
The six-year-old band, which has
been wrongly associated with the
California punk scene of Green Day
and Offspring, is lead by singer, gui-
tarist and songwriter Blake
Shwartzenbach who sings with a
slight English accent while painting
dark lyrical pictures that can't get
more sincere.
Opening the altnjm is "Save Your
Generation" — somewhat of a
wake-up call anthem which closes
with the message. "Simple rule -
every day be sure to wake." Other
songs such as "Fireman." "Accident
Prone." and "Million" deal with the
usual lawbreaker themes of love-
gone-bad and depression.
By far. the most pop -oriented song
is "let Black ' With its powerful bal-
lad feel, it could be the only flaw in
the record if one exists at all Most
unique is the last song titled simply.
"Unlisted Track" — an acoustic nutn-
ber which offers a break from the
noise that brings the album full cir-
cle.
Dear You is much more mature
than their previous efforts, due to
this albums' slicker production.
Although, at times, it seems to be
heavily influenced by Nirvana. Dear
You has a sound that is all
lawbreaker. A-

Tennis loses season opener
volleyball
IHEMASSACHUSEnS DAILY COLLEGIAN
Monday, September 18, 1995 / Page 7
By Jameson Heos
Collegian Correspondent
The Massachusetts men's tennis
team dropped their season opener on
Friday 5-2 against Boston
University, but are hoping to use this
loss as a building block for a good
vear.
UMass coach ludy Dixon said. "I
felt that we played really well. I don't
feel demoralized because I feel like
they came out of this ready to go."
One bright spot was the play of
freshman Todd Cheaney and Ryan
Ginley at No. 3 doubles. After veter-
ans Justin Lynn and Alex Aller lost
8-4 at No. I doubles, and Ankur
Bayshu and Gregor Rummel lost 8-5
at No. 2 doubles. Ginley and
Cheaney jump started the
Minutemen with an impressive 8-b
victory. Despite losing the overall
doubles point, momentum was on
the side of L'Mass. Allen rebounded
from his loss in doubles to cruise
6-2. 6-2 over Greg Toon at No. 4
singles followed by Bayshu's victory
over Jonah Fox 6-3. 6-2 at No. 3
singles.
Suddenly disaster struck. Senior
co-captain Darren Tau fell that he
was not mentally ready to play and
Dixon was forced to insert Eric
Peters at No. 6 singles. Peters, who
had K'en away from tennis all sum-
mer in SvHJth America, was physically
outmatched by Pete Schastny 6-0.
6-0 A perfect day eluded Cheaney at
No. 3 singles as he fell 6-3. 6-4 to
Ben Stumer.
"We lost No. 5 and that was a
match. I think given raw talent, that
we could have won. But 1 am dealing
with a freshman who just played his
first match, so he'll learn from that
and it won't happen again." Dixon
Tfie men's tennis team split two
matcfies over the weekend t)eating
Wesleyan but falling to Boston
University.
.said
The weight of the match then fell
on the shoulders of senior co-captain
Lynn and Rummel. At No. 1 singles,
Lynn lost 7-6. 6-2 to Anthony
fianigs while Rummel battled to
three sets but came up short 7-5,
3-6.6-1.
"I knew that No. 1 and No. 2 sin-
gles were going to be very tough
because they are always tough for us
to win." Dixon said. "The way UMass
tennis is normally played is that we
are very deep so that we really try to
go after the doubles f>oint. but the
match wasn't over until the last game
was decided."
UMass continued their season on
Saturday with a 6-1 victory at
Wesleyan to leave them with a 1-1
record for the year. Lynn paced the
Minutemen with a 6-4. 6-2 victory
at No. 1 singles followed by
Rummel's 6-2. 6-1 win at No. 2 sin-
gles. Bayshu and Aller remained
undefeated with straight set victories
and also combined at No. 2 doubles
to win 8-7 (7-3). Lynn and Rummel
lost 8-3 at No. 1 doubles, but
Cheaney and Ginley came through
again to take the doubles point by
the score ol 8-2.
Cheaney earned his first singles
victory 7-5. 6-0 while Darren Tau
relurntxl to action but fell 6-1 . 6-3.
With their first win under their
belt the Minutemen open up their
Atlantic- 10 schedule today against
Rhode Island at 2:30 p.m.
Minutewomen tie with Connecticut
The Massachusetts women's cross country team
improved their record to 5-0-1 this weekend at a tri-meet
in Orono. Maine. Taking five of the top ten places, the
Minutewomen overpowered Maine 31-70. and tied
Connecticut at 3 1 .
The UMass team was led by personal record setting per
fomiances from their top four finishers. Rebecca Donaghue
took third with 17:5*^. shaving over 25 seconds off her pre-
vious mark, while len Waeger took fifth place in 18:05. also
a personal best Christy Martin took 1:40 off her previous
personal mark, taking sixth in 18:22. and Kristin
Donaldson set a personal record 18:38, placing eighth.
Katie Greenia rounded out the Minutewomcn's top five
finishers with a ninth place time of 18:43.
At the Boston College Invitational, the UMass men's
cross country team > season opened with a nine-team
meeting, featuring national powerhouses Michigan.
Brown. lona. Delaware. Northeastern, New Hampshire.
Maine. UMass and host BC. UMass took fifth place at the
meet, while Michigan won the Invitational with the top
score of 36 points.
The Minutemen placed five runners in the top 30, lead-
ing them to a score of 105 points. Matt Behl was the first
Minuieman harrier acmss the line, finishing eleventh with
a lime of 24:44. Mike Macieko turned in a 24:55. taking
thirteenth place overall Ethan Nadeau crossed the line
23rd. clocking a 25:14. and Tim Bollard placed 28th in
25:28. Mark Bulfone wrapped up the UMass top five,
placing 30th in 25:31.

continued from page 10
The Minutewomen came to the
Cage Saturday morning more
focused than the night before ready
to earn its first home win. UMass
shut down the Bears winning in
three straight games 15-11. 15-10,
and 15-9 without Rivera who sat out
with a sore shoulder. Game one
opened slowly as UMass came from
behind to tie it up at seven then
pushed it through to win.
Sophomore Michelle Paciorek
stepped it up for the Minutewomen
posting five kills on seven swings
with no errors in game one, earning
her a spot on the All- Tournament
Team, along with Rivera.
"We don't use Michelle as much as
we should. She should have had as
many swings as Nash. It's just awk
ward having a lefty in the middle.
That's definitely something we have
to work on." Kenny said.
UMass won the second and third
games handily, as the Bears didn't
put up much of a fight. Sophomore
Lesley Nolan led the Minutewomen
offensively with 17 kills while Nash
posted a team-high with five blocks
and freshman middle blocker Leslie
Hartlen earned eight digs.
"1 think we realized that when
we're ahead we can't quit like we did
[Friday]. jSaturdayj I think we
played all the way through." Nolan
said.
Kenny was picasc-d with the num
ber of players that got to step on the
court against Brown. "A lot of people
got playing time. It was the first time
[freshman setter] Katie Pearce set for
us. She got her hands on the ball and
controlled our play well." Kenny said.
UMass 3, Syracuse 0
The Minutewomen saved the most
exciting game for last as they look
Syracuse 15-9, 15-6 and 17-15
AJfier sailing through games one and
two. it was clear in game three that
the Orangewomen were not ready to
go home.
As Syracuse led 14-10 at game
point, UMass clawed its way back to
win. Led by Rivera, who rested her
shoulder and came back to lead the
team with 21 kills and four aces.
Kenny's squad came through when it
counted. Nolan posted 14 kills and
1 2 digs while Nash recorded I 3 kills

The senior co-captain played with a
hamslring injury, and almost didn'l
suit up for Saturday's game.
With a 22-0 UMass lead at the
half, it was do or die for Holy Cross.
On the kickolf to start ihe third
quarter. Laluan Coney fumbled the
ball on the Crusader lb-yard line,
which was forced by lustin Reimcr
and recovered by Khari Samuel.
Three plays later, the Minutemen
were in the endzonc. and the second
half scoring display began.
"If there was a point in the game,
it was tumbling the kickoff lo slart
the second halt." V'aas said.
"Our special teams playc-d great,
we got the ball in gocxj situations,
and we scored this wivk. and that's
what we didn't do last week. And
we put together good drives, also."
Ingoglia said.
Seven different UMass players
scored on the day. The defense had
five sacks, two by V'emard Fcnnell.
There were thrje interceptions.
There were four fumble recoveries.
The Minutemen did a little bit of
ihis. a lilllc bil of ihat. It resulted in
a whole lot of points.
"This week in practice was really
difficult for coaches and for play-
ers." Hodges said. "We talked about
everything. We spent so much time
talking that by the end of the week,
the kids said, 'hey, let's stop talking
about il and do it.'

scored their first career touchdowns.
Jordan carried the pigskin 1 5 limes gaining 92 yards,
including a touchdown. Pizano had only three
attempts, but look advantage of his opportunilies end-
ing with 21 yards. Pizano was excited to gel his firsi
score, and is confident with his role as a rising back.
"This is one of the best days of my life." Pizano said.
"Il definitely was a real confidence builder, but I'm just
out there doing my job."
Hodges showed great confidence in his young backs,
taking pressure off his featurvi back. Ingoglia has
dealt with a nagging hamslring inj>ir\ and was pleased
that the younger backs were able lo step in and get the
job done.
Inserting Jordan and Pizano into the game gave them
the opportunity to succeed, which ihey visibly did. It
also allowed Hodges lo pat himself on the back for the
recruiting job he has done.
"Those kids we recruited that we redshirted last year
are legitimate backs." Hodges said. "I think Ihey
showed that last weekend and again today. Those kids
can both play.*
"We have two young kids, two redshirl freshman.
They really stepped ii up. They are UMass' future."
Ingoglia said. "They will help us tremendsiusly this
year."
As far as Ingoglia's hamslring is concerned, the sta-
tus is day to day The hamstring knotted up on Ingoglia
on Friday, and he was worried about not being able lo
play.
"1 still don't believe I'm running ihe way 1 should be
running. 1 gol lo gel back lo my old lorm and really
slart pounding in there." Ingoglia said "I ihink wiih
each week, personally. I'm gelling bellci. I'm trying lo
get into a flow, gel into a rhylhm."
Despile ix>t being lUU perceiil. Ingoglia slill tallied
over 100 yards and drove home two touchdowns The
senior captain was ihrilled with the way ihe scoring
was spread out.
"We had six people score on offense We used four
different backs thai scored Thai's awesome." Ingoglia
said. "I've played here lour years and nothing like that
has ever happened "
All of this deplh al running back occurred without
junior running back Ron Hrockington. who is nursing a
sore hip and is expected back next week. Hrockington
transferre'd lo UMass from Syracuse, and is expcxted
10 join Ingoglia arxl Alessio. lo give ihe Minuiemen ihe
one ol' the best backfields m ihe Yankee Conference.
The running hack ihcnie is turning into ihe more, ihe
merrier. When Hrockington returns. Hodges will have
six running backs to choose from. Ingoglia will likely
rtxeive the largest chunk of the duly, bul knowing ihe
Minuiemen have a solid ollense is most imporlanl
"We have lo build off this and have momenlum I
think we have a great oflensc. lK)ih passing and run

Hawless,' Donnelly said.
Despite her injury Walker made 1 5 saves in the coniesi,
while the UNC defense didn'l even allow Massachu.setts to
gel one shot .
It took the Tar Heels 12:45 lo score, bul once they gol
going iheir offense poured il on, as Kate Barber and loy
Driscoll each had two goals for ihe viclors. Donnelly
poinled lo Walker's limited mobility as an imporlanl fac-
tor.
"It had a huge effect. She would have made some of the
saves if she had been healthy." said Donnelly, who praised
Walker's eftorts. "She was really courageous out there.
Her leammaies owe her big. If il wasn't for her, it could've
been a lot worse."
With the exception of penally corners, ihe
Minutewomen and Monarchs played evenly, bul Old
Dominion's two penally corner strikes proved to be the
difference on Friday aflemcxjn.
The game remained scoreless through most of the first
half until Danielle Chellew converted on a penalty conwr
lo give ODU a 1-0 lead with less than 10 minutes bcl'urc
inlermission.
The second half was much like the first. Neither learn
could connecl on a scoring opportunity early on, and
Massachusetts battled to try to knot ihc score at one. and
forec overtime.
Chellew finishixl off Massachusetts with b:?? remain-
ing, making good once again on a penally comer to seal
the victory.
"Il was a pretty even game." Donnelly said.
Massachusells will gel anolher crack al ihe ODU in less
than two weeks when the two teams square off Ocl. 1 al
UConn.
"Hopefully. Siacy will be healihy atKl it will be a better
showing of the two learns." Donnelly said

will rebound.
"We're very strong and very proud." she said "I'm con-

some things and gain some confidence."

It looked like a baseball pitch-

Minutevuomen lose
to Tribe, beat Patriots
By Candice Flemming
Collegian Stott
In the last three meetings between
No. b Massachusetts and No. 17
William & Mary women's soccer
teams, the Minutewomen defense was
able to shut down the Tribe's out-
standing forward Natalie Neaton.
Hut not this time.
Neaton finally figurc-d
out the UMass defense
and broke free for two
goals to lead No. 1 7
W&M past UMass
2- 1 , Saturday in W illiamsburg, Va.
The Minutewomen did rebound on
Sunday though against a tough
George Mason squad on the strength
of Rachel LeDuc's fifth goal of the
season, beating the Patriots 1-0.
Against the Tribe. UMass held a
1 5-10 shot advantage and a 5-2 cor-
ner kick advantage, but could only
muster the one score.
W&M jumped out
to a 1-0 lead at the
20: 1 5 mark when
Neaton nailed a shot
into the far upper comer off an assist
by Susie Meizger.
UMass got its only goal when
junior midfielder lulie Magid scored
from 10 yards out at ihe 47:15 mark
to make ii a 1-1 game. LeDuc assist-
ed on the score.
Rudy said the goal was one of the
best ever in UMass history, resulting
from a five-pass combination. It
started when Amanda Thompson
passed the ball lo Nikki Ahrcnholz.
who in turn passed it to Sandy
Shimogaki. who beat a defender
one-on-onc and then knocked the
ball towards the goal. I cDuc
first-timed it lo Magid, who one-
timed it for the score.
"That was an incredible goal,"
Massachusetts coach |im Rudy said.
Neaton headed in the game-winner
at 58:25 on an asvisi by Anne Cook.
UMass keeper Danielle Dion had
four saves while her counterpart
Karen Wake notched seven.

"Neaton had one great goal and
one sort of lucky goal." Rudy said. 'It
was a disappointing loss, but these
things happen."
Against George Mason, in a game
that started in the rain, the
Minutewomen dominated. UMass got
off 20 shots while the Patriots could
only counter with eight.
The only score of
the game came in the
72nd minute, when
LeDuc headed in a
Magid assist. With

tinues to lead the team with five
goals and 1 1 total points.
In Rebecca Myers" absence. Magid
and Amy Powell did an outstanding
job controlling the niidfield. "lulie
(Magidl and Amy dominated the cen-
ter of the field." Rudy said.
Rudy was also pleased with the
play of his defenders. "The back four
played very well, very
secure. Erin Lynch
was very good defen-
sively, ol course."
Dion made six
saves in the victory while George
Mason keeper )amic Pagliarulo made
12. "She (Pagliarulol had great
range." Rudy said.
The Minutewomen. now 5-1 on
the season, return to action on
Friday. Sept. 22 when they host
Texas A&M at 2 p. in. in the UMass
Classic. Wright Slate and New
Hampshire will plav at 4 p.m.
'VVe learned a lot about who we
are |this weekend!." Rudy said. "We
can play with good teams. We did
some things very well this weekend.
I But I wc have lo work on things."
Injury report: Myers traveled with
the team but did not play due lo her
hamstring injury. She is expected to
be out for another two weeks.
Sophomore F-^rica Iverson was taken
out of the game with 15 minutes to
go because of a strained knee. Her
status is unknown. Lynch hurt her
ankle against George Mason but
remained in the game.

of victory, it was the largest since
1*165. when UMass demolished
Rhode Island. 57-0.
Discussion after last week's
Richmond game focused around the
Minutemen's failure to take advan-
tage of opportunities.
This week was a bit
different. Holy Cross
managed to turn the
ball over seven times,
and UMass capitalized by scoring on
five of them.
"The Minutemen did the things
ihcy had to do. I don'l think they had
a turnover. Every time the ball hit the
ground, it bounced up into their
hands. Every lime we put it on the
ground, we lost it. You can't turn the
ball cner | seven) times lo my daugh-
ters and their friends and expect to
win." Vaas said.
"Obviously, everyone knew what
the problem was last week, so we had
everybody's attention." Hodges said.
"When we got the ball in the situa
lions today, there was a little extra
determination to gel it done. That's
what we talked about all the time
When the opportunity arises, get it
done. And that's what we did."
The Minutemen rushing attack did
its thing, gaining 458 yards on the
ground. They went with Rene
Ingoglia. and he gained 108 yards
They gave it lo Frank Alessio. and he
sped for a career-high 1 55 yards on
12 carries, including a 84-yard
touchdown run. Redshirl freshman
Mall lordan was called upon, and he
delivered in the form of ')2 yards on
1 5 carries and his first career touch-
down.
Another redshirl freshman, jim
Pizzano. got into the act as well, and
reached the endzone on a 14-yard
run in the second quarter. Backup
quarterback Anthony Calterton even
gained 50 yards on keepers. The
Minutemen ran roughshod over the
Crusader defense for the entia- game,
and it didn't seem lo mailer who it

Field Hockey loses
twice over weekend
By Matt Voutour
Collegian Staff
With revenge on its mind, the
Nonh Carolina field hockey team
made Massachusetts pay for last
year's upset, as the Tar Heels
pounded UMass 5-0 yesterday.
The loss capped off a rough week-
end for the Minutewomen. who
also lost 2- 0 to Old Dominion
and incurred a key injury to goal-
tender Stacy Walker.
Going into the weekend,
Massachusetts coach Megan
Donnelly felt that it would be a
can't-lose weekend, because
nobody expected her No. 15
squad to knock off either No. 1
North Carolina or No. 5 Old
Dominion. What Donnelly didn't
count on was an injury to Walker.
Walker suffered a sprained
medial collateral ligament in prac-
tice on Thursday, but was able lo
play in both games, a fact that
l>.)nnelly considers unbelievable.
"It was a small miracle that she
played at all." Dcinnelly said. "The
fact that she was making saves
was unbelievable."
The Minutewomen found out
what five teams before ihem
already knew - the Tar Heels are
good. Their performance seems to
show that there is some consider-
able distance between No. I and
the rest of the pack.
Prior to the game against
UMass, ihc Tar Heels drubbed
No. 5 Old Dominion 5-0 as well,
as they conlinuc lo bulldoze over
a difficult schedule.

UMass sweeps Ohio
downs Xavier, Dayton
By Leigh Torbin
Collegian Staff
A road trip to Ohio proved to be
just the remedy that Ihc
Massachusetts men's soccer team
needed as it took a pair of Atlantic
10 matches.
Friday night, UMas,s (5-1-1, 5 1-1
in A- 10) utilized a pair of Dave
Siljanovski goals to lop Xavier 5-2 in
overtime in Cincinnati. The
Musketeers fell lo 1-4, (0-1 A- 10)
on Ihe season.
Yesterday afternoon, it would be
Hrad Miller and Scott Regina who
would tally for the Minutemen as
they rolled to a 2-0 victory over
Dayton (5-5,0-1).
The Minutemen faced Xavier on
Friday in the first ever meeting
between the two schools, and after a
scoreless 41 minutes. UMass wel-
comed Xavier to the A- 10 with a
pair of tallies.
Colin lohnson took a feed from
defender Bcnnie Sheally and scored
for UMass at the 41:15 mark.
Siljanovski scored unassisted just 29
seconds later, and UMass was rolling.
Xavier's Vladimir Ciric would not
let the Musketeers go down easily in
their conference debut, as he scored a
pair of second half goals at 49:29 and
75:59.
In overtime. Siljanovski scored his
second of the night at the 96: 10 mark
lo secure victory for the Minutemen.
Senior goalkeeper Eric Gruber
made nine saves to boost UMass.
Yesterday, the Minutemen traveled
lo Dayton for a date with the Flyers.
This was also the first meeting
between the two schools, the fourth
lime UMass has faced a fresh opf)o-
nenl thus far this season.
The Minutemen wasted no time in
gelling a leg up on Dayton, on a slick
field, in an Ohio rainstorm.

Volleyball places second at Invitational
By Chris Stamen
Collegian Staff
This weekend, the Massachusetts
women's volleyball team opened its
season in the Curry Hicks Cage as
hosts of the two-day UMass
Invitational. This year, the excep-
tional field of teams consisted of
Brown University, Syracuse
University, and the University of
Michigan.
The tourney ended in a three-way
lie as UMass, Syracuse, and Michigan
all posted 2-1 records, thus the win-
ning team had lo be decided by num-
ber of games won. When the last ball
bounced off the floor, it was
Michigan (8-5) that reigned
supreine, followed by the
Minutewomen (6-5) in second and
Syracuse (6-5) in third, while Brown
struggled (0-5).
Michigan 5, UMass 0
UMass opened Ihc tournament
Friday night as they went up against
Michigan and lost three straight
games 15-12, 15- 10 and 17-15. In
game one. the Wolverines, led by
Tournament MVP Kristen
Ruschiensky. opened with character-
istically lough defense thai shut the
Minutewomen down. Senior middle
blocker Rachel Sky was a force at
the net for UMass. but coach Bonnie
Kenny's squad couldn't pull
through.
Game two began as the women in
blue served up five unanswered
points. UMass came from behind to
lie it up at seven, but again couldn't
put Michigan away.
"We can side out. but we don't put
the ball away off the dig. Michigan
dug the ball in transition and then
killed it." Kenny said.
Game three of the match saw
UMass open with four unanswered
points served up by junior outside
hitter Dionne Nash, but again the
Minutewomen had problems cracking
the Wolverine defense.
"We know that we could do bet
ter. The team that played ( Friday!
wasn't UMass. The level of intensity
was really low. We were definitelv
not the team that played in ihc
UCSB lournamenl last weekend."
said C;iza Rivera, junior outside hit-
ler.
Despite opening with a loss, the
crowd in the cage was rocking, espe
cially in the heart wrenching 17-15

Trial a(d(dresses aspects of women's rights
Northampton woman challenging law; hopes to gain the right to breastfeed in public
By Aimee Schwortx
Collegian Staff
A Northampton woman is sched-
uled to speak with Senator Stan
Rosenberg this Friday about pro-
tecting a woman's right to breast-
feed her child in public or in pri-
vate.
Connie Forcier was repeatedly
asked by a courthouse guard to leave
a Northampton courtroom in early
August because she was breastfeed-
ing her infant while waiting for a
friend.
Forcier said she was given the
argument that adults were not
allowed to eat or drink in the court-
rcxjm and children should not either,
Forcier refused to leave, saying.
"■Vou can't compare infants lo
adults:"
"I'm trying lo get the law changed
lo protect women's rights. It is legal
for women to breastfeed, but there is
nothing protecting women '.s rights, A
woman can be aries
exposure while brea-
for breastfeeding
itself." Forcier
said,
Tom Mitchell,
an aid of
Rosenberg's, said
the senator "has
been taking this
issue very serious-
ly" and that "he is
anxious to hear
what (Forcier's)
specific concerns
arc,"
Society's view
of breastfeeding is
at the heart of the
debate. said
Forcier, "People
look at it sexually
rather than a way
lo nurture and a
way to, feed my baby
It shouldn't even b
led for indecent
tfeeding, but not
Forcier said she
chose breastfeeding
instead of formula for
her children because
it is healthier
"Breastfeeding
reduces ihe chance of
juvenile diabetes,
allergies, childhood
cancers and it reduces
the chance of cancer
for the mother, "
I think it's silly,
e an issue. It's
what God intended," she said.
The following states have recent-
___^_^____ ly passed legisla-
tion protecting
nursing mothers
from an arrest for
indecent expo-
sure: Florida.
Iowa. Michigan,
New York. North
Carolina, Virginia,
Illinois, Texas.
Nevada and Utah,
The decision is
pending in
Arizona. New
jersey and Ohio,
After speaking to
Senator
Rosenberg on
Friday. F^orcier
said she hopes
Massachusetts
will be put on this
list.
Forcier said she chose breastfeed-
ing instead of formula for her chil-
dren because it is healthier,
"Breastfeeding reduces the chance of
juvenile diabetes, allergies, child-
hood cancers and it reduces the
chance of cancer for the mother."
she said,
Forcier has received a lot of sup-
port from women's organizations
and other nursing mothers, "The rea-
son I'm so adamant about this is
because I'm an experienced nur.ser.
Someone could have stopped nursing
over this, I don't want to see that
happen Breastfeeding is too benefi-
cial for both the mother and the
infant,"
Forcier is trying to get on a TV
show to spread public awareness
about the benefits and naturalness of
breastfeeding
Forcier has never had a problem
breastfeeding in public before. She
said she has breastfed both her chil
dren everywhere, whenever her chil
dren were hungry.

Tree inventory set to take place
UM department to help pinpoint hazardous trees in Springfield
By Amy H. Parodysz
Collegian Staff
The Department of Forestry and
Wildlife Management is coordinating
a tree inventory project in Springfield
and Agawam — two cities among the
first in the country lo use community
volunteers in the development of a
computerized inventory of their
urban forests.
The survey will help city planners
to pinpoint hazardous trees, as well
as the best spots to plant new trees.
"The tree^ in the city are a critical
component, and if the people can
benefit from that the whole quality of
life increases," said David Bloniarz.
project coordinator and Springfield
resident.
Trees 'cleanse the air. cool the
cities during the summer and add
oxygen lo the air." said Bloniarz.
They also "add monetary values to
residential and communiiy places"
and add aesthetic beauty, he said.
The resident volunteers "are peo-
ple who have the most to gain or lose
by the quality of the trees in their city
because they are the people who live
in those neighborhoods." said
Bloniarz.
Volunteers will collect such infor-
mation as size, species and condition
of the trees, and that data will be
incorporated into a computerized
Geographic Information System
(CIS). Bloniarz says the trees will be
part of a CIS map. which will include
sewer and gas lines, pavement, side-
walks, and other physical aspects of a
municipality.
About 30 residents from each com-
munity are needed to complete the
survey, which will be conducted Oct.
7 and 8 in Springfield and Oct. 14 in
Agawam. Training for the session
will take place in a joint session on
Sept 26.
Volunteers make the project pos.si-
ble because they complete work that
would be impossible to fund due lo
budget restraints, according lo
Bloniarz. Their work will result in
2.500 hours of labor, which trans-
lates into more than $25,000 worth
of service.
The McKnight and South End
neighborhoods of Springfield, which
are among the oldest parts of the
city, will be studied in an extension
of last year's survey of
Metro-Center. There are an estimat-
ed 4,000 trees in the neighborhoods
being studied.
Last fall, 57 volunteers stud-
ied 1,100 on trees on 20 miles
of roadway in Metro-Center.
"The people who volunteered
have a strong appreciation for the
environment and a sense of civic
pride," said City Forester Edward
Casey.
Springfield is ideal for the survey.
according to Bloniarz. "It has a rich
diversity of people from different cul-
turally, social, economic and educa-
tional backgrounds." and "a rich tra-
dition of urban forestry." said
Bloniarz.
After the initial Springfield study,
the Town of Agawam contacted the
University.
In Agawam, there is an estimated
2,200 trees along the 26 miles of
roadway. However, only 1 5 miles of
high-traffic roadway will be sur-
veyed, according to Deborah
Dachos, the director of planning and
community development in
Agawam.
The Massachusetts Urban
Forestry Management Project, a
subdivision of the Department of
Forestry and Wildlife
Management, has received a fed-
eral grant from the U.S. Forestry
Service for the past three years.
They are working in cooperation
with the USDA Forest Service
and the Massachusetts
Department of Environmental
Management.
The first year. Brookline was sur-
veyed and 100 residents volunteered.
"We hope to do the whole City |of
Springfield) if more of that funding is
available," said Casey.
UMass students interested in this
project may call David Bloniarz at
545-5208.
Rabbis forbid use of 'purity computer'
By Associated Press
JERUSALEM — Technological progress is not always
welcome: Ultra-Orthodox rabbis have forbidden followers
from using a "purity computer' to determine when they
may have sex.
The increasingly popular, hand-held device helps reli-
gious couples navigate a restriction in Jewish law against
sex starting 12 hours before menstruation to seven days
after it ends. Many couples have in the past turned to
sages for help with the calculation.
With the computer, women need only enter information
about their menstrual cycle. The device — actually a cal-
culator programmed exclusively for this purpose — then
details when sex is permissible.
Several rabbis last week banned the use of the
devices, Arieh Wcxier, rabbinical court secretary in the
predominantly religious town of Bnei Brak, said
Monday.
Rabbi Yosef Halevi Eliashiv, an authority on Jewish
law, warned in a letter to the religious daily Yated
Neeman that the "purity computer" might spark a techno-
logical incursion into other areas where rabbis traditional-
ly held sway.
"Everyone must go to the home of his rabbi, put his
question and abide by the answer." wrote Eliashiv.
In another letter published by the paper. Rabbi Eliezer
Yehuda Waldenberg warned the manufacturers "lest they
dare to tread on holy ground (and) turn computers into
authorities on [ewish law."
Sales information on the purity computers' was not
available.
About a tenth of Israel's 4.5 million lews are ullra-
Orihodox.

I sit here numb with sorrow ds I rellecl upon and
mourn the tragic death of a fellow University of
Massachusetts student I cannot e\en begin to imagine
what must of went through this young man's mind as he
contemplated whate\er se\ere emotional agony that uiti
mately lead to the painful decision that pitted him against
the essence of c>ur existence; the powerful confrontation
between the sometimes harsh reality of life and the uncer-
tainty of death.
Although I ne\er personally knew this brother. I feel as
though somehow my absence in his time of sorrow could
have been, by fate, avoided. As a student body and as a
sciciety we are all a bit weakened by the loss of an individ-
ual who sadly chose not to contribute his piece to this
ciiniplicaied and often difficult puzzle that
we call life. I am dc-eply afflicted by a ques-
tion for which I now realize there is ne\er a
deflnite answer — why?
In fact, a small syiTiboi of this sorrow
and ambivalence is finding its way down
my cheek as I struggle to write these words. My interc-st in
the answer to this question brought me to the librarv
where I began to research the topics of depression and
suicide There I uncovered a great deal of infontiation that
may be of value to others such as myself interested in pre-
venting the reoccurrence of such a tragedy
Major depression occurs in 10 percent to 20 percent of
the worlds population in the course of a lifetime The
term depression is often modified by words that implv
either some specific factor or some chemical mechanism
as the cause of the slate. Thus, in psychological tentis,
depressions have been considered as the reactions to some
loss of. or separation from, a valued person c>r object.
Depression is defined by a standard set of symptoms
described in the American Psychiatric Association's
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
They are: 1 . Poor appetite and significant weight loss, or
increased appetite and significant weight gain. 2.
Insomnia or increased sleep 5. .Agitation, or retardation
ol movement or thought. 4. Loss of interest or pleasure in
usual activities or decrease in sexual drive. 5. Fatigue and
loss of energy, b Feelings of worlhlessness. self reproach
or excessive inappropriate guilt 7 Diminished ability to
concentrate, or indecisiveness. J<. Recurrent thoughts c>f
death or suicide or suicide attempts.
Research indicate* that certain welf-defined methixls of
psychotherapy can help in the treatment of some cases of
depression, but no evidence exists that traditional insight-
oriented psychoanalytic therapy is effective in serious
cases such as those accompanied by suicidal thoughts or
attempts.
I feel strongly that suicide is the triumph of ambivalence
over the struggle for survival. The essence of this contradic-
tion lav primarily in the inability to comprehend the tragic
repercussion of fatality, or the infinite indication of the
defeated state of death which is far from triumphant lor
anyone forced to contend with the death of a lovc-d one
Many romanticists view suicide as a poetic challenge to
mortality in which the will to carry on is sacrificed for the
mystical unknown realization of death. Diaries and other
evidence about the thinking ot people committing suicide
reveal they commonly consider their death as a passing on
to another world or going to God. or simply escaping this
world.
Researchers have found that suicide notes almost
always read as if their authors believe they will still be
able to witness what happens to them after they are dead.
This suggest that these individuals do not think of them
selves as dying when they commit suicide — merely that
they will be living in a different way or in some other
world. While there is a great deal of speculation about
death, one thing that remains certain is when you die.
your existence in this world as the entity that ttie world
has come to know and love is gone forever, and the only
remnants left behind are memories, mere
images of a departed soul.
Why didn't I notice there was something
wrong'.' Could I have said or done some-
thing'' If only I had taken the time to talk
with him or listen to her. These and other
questions slowly and painfully eat away at the conscience of
the friends and loved ones of individuals who take their ou-n
lives. Researchers have advanced a number of thitiries in the
effort to explain the causc-s of suicide Psychological theories
stress personality and cognitive factors. Sociological theories
stress social and cultural factors.
One of the major psychological theories of suicide is the
personality theory, which attempts to explain suicide on
the basis ol differences between the suicidal perscin and
non- suicidal people Sociological theories of suicide usu-
ally emphasize the importance of either the serial struc-
ture or the situations individuals face.
Whatever traumatizes an individual to the point that he
or she envisicms no solution other than death, pales in
comparison to the pain individuals close to that loved one
will have to carry with them for a lifetime.
If you. or scimeone you know, display the above indica-
tions of depression, or is contemplating sukide. please
seek help. Consider the pain and emotional anguish that
your death will have on those around you. The University
Mental Health Services offers professional assistance 24
hours a day, seven days a week.
In addition, concerned students. I, Dan Lizana and Sid
Ferreira of the CEEBMS staff have organized an infomia
lion session which will take place of Sept. 26 in the New
Africa House Library for individuals seeking more infor
mution on the symptoms of depression. A health care pro-
fessional will be on hand to answer questions and give
insight on methods for students and staff to recognize and
seek assistance for those in need of professional help.
Inmiediately following the informational session, we
intend to hold a candle light vigil walking in silence from
the New Africa House to Southwest, where we will com-
mence the evening in prayer.
Life is precious and no matter how difficult things may
sc-em, there are people out there who really care and are
willing to help you get through difficult times.

1 don't think I noticed jack at first When you're
starting to leach another semester's karate gym
class your mind is unanimously focused on vour
own energy and movement, and you are trying to
match verbal description to enhance what your stu-
dents are seeing. From the moment you break out of
the initial class meditation you're sweating. 'Sour
karate form and integritv have to be the pinnacle of
what you can offer, even if they aren't asking you for it
to be that way. \o\jt students become a moving blur as
you scan from one to the next.
Some looked at me lethargically in those first minutes,
barely moving their bcxiies to the cadence of this outra
geous, white clad physical education instructor. Some
watched me with disbelief or apprehen-
sion, lohn, my friend and co- instructor,
would also draw the same looks as he
would return my bark like shout (kiai as
it is appropriately called) from his posi
tion in the back of Boyden 237. |uan, our
Teaching Assistant, would hold the cenier.
It's an unusual experience that is not for everybody,
but there are always those who can connect with it.
These are people who find in themselves a well, never
before tapped into. This source boils over when met
with such an art which combines on your-feet medita-
tion and physical training whose demands on one's
coordination make even agile jocks look like fools,
jack Toney made that connection as much as anyone I
have ever known. He was a well built, gocxi looking guy
with dark, curled hair and dark, smooth complexion. His
brightly colored, green eyes stood out. He was a fonner
track team hummer thrower who first turned my head
when I realized he was sweating far more than 1 was. His
face was entrenched in concentration. He stuck low in
the training stances. I never had to tell him anything
twice. He was always in attendance, and always in ardor.
He quickly learned of the NECKC Shotokan club
and just as quickly became its most attended member.
We didn't have much to offer him, just a stone stair-
well in the back of Totman.
But I would find him there sure enough at times, alone
in that dreary place spurring himself to move in the way
that we were teaching him. But we could never teach
him to have a spirit like he did. He projectc-d good energy
that was never underlaid with any dark motive. This
good energy ol his always was on full power. .Always.
You may think I just say this because I happen to
know him, and 1 want to score self-righteous points by
gracing these PC pages with my two cents. No way.
lack Tones was lor real,
\ou could feel it just by being within feet of him.
That "divine spark" once talked about
by a man named Colonel Chamberlain.
That inescapable ingredient that makes
Us human. To be without it is just to be
a person lost in the wilderness of apathy
and plainness
It was this drive to live that brought my soon to be
gym class teaching assistant to a mountain where he
fell. No doubt he was scaling the steepest slope he
could find when he incurred his leg injury which cost
him his karate. That was a little over a year ago. I was
just glaji that I had ever known him at ail.
I ivmember the limes in spaning when I struck him near
full force, and afier the sudden exhale his fiist reaction
would be to laugh. But then he would grit his jiiw, ivgalher
himself, and fire away at me. I couldn't help but smile and
laugh also, and I'm not really supposcxl to do that.
But a drive to live and disregard for heights also
brought jack to his window that rainy, Sunday morning.
Clinging to the sides of it, he probably reached out to feel
the rain on his hand or face just like any of us who take
the time to appreciate these timeless things. But humans
are not timeless I grieve this fact, and I grieve his death.

Possibilities of a new candidate
Mark
McGrath
His father came to America
trom lamaica on a banana
boat in 1*120. He grew up in
Harlem and the South Bronx. He
graduated as a geology major from
the City College of New York and
went on to serve his
country in Vietnam.
Eventually he
climbed through the
ranks to become
Chairman of the loint
Chiefs ot Staff. He is retired general
Colin Powell, and he just may be the
next president of the United Stales.
Although he has never stated he is
going to be a presidential candidate,
the American public and mc-dia have
thrust the idea upon him. He is a
prominent figure, even though he
retired fami public life two veai> ago.
Everyone seems to support Colin
Powell. In an age when politicians are
no longer attractive to the public, a
man who is not and never has bivn a
politician sc-ems to be rising to the top.
One of the things that is so attrac-
tive about Powell is he is everything
that makes America great. He is the
Amencan Dream personified.
Around the turn of the century,
millions of immigrants took a long
and terrible journey to a country
that was foreign to them. They left
their homes, families, everything
they had in their old countries in
order to start again, to begin a new
life in the land where dreams could
come true. These immigrants were
the people who built America.
Colin Powell's parents were
Jamaican immigrants They came to
America with the same goals,
endured the same hardships and
lived difficult lives Powell grew up
in some of the worst parts ot New
York City, but he endured, and in
fact, prospered Hj
took his opportunity
and made something
great of it.
Along the way.
Powell has had to over-
come many challenges, and at times
he has tailed He began his college
education as an engineering major
After deciding engineering wasn't his
thing, he moved on to the pursuit of
Geology He never became a
world famous geologist, so he took
that education with him when he
went into the armed forces. There, he
found his niche.
He realized his path to glory
wasn't through .Academia. it was
through Vietnam From there he
climbed the chain o( military com-
mand all the way to his l^si position,
the Chaimian of the loint Chiefs of
Stafl, one of the most powerful posi-
tions in the country.
The tact that he is part of a minori-
ty has never deterred him. Growing
up in the melting poi, he never had
to see blatant racism until he went to
Georgia for basic training in m58
Once there, he experienced segrega
tion firsthand. In his book he writes,
"If I was going lo be confined to one
end of the playing field, then I was
going to be a star on that side of the
field. I was not going to let myself
become emotionally crippled because
I could not play on the whole field "
He has become a star, and then
some.
One of the more surprising
aspects of his popularity as a yet to
be declared candidate is the faa
that he has done so without the
backing of a political party. In fad.
he has expressed disappointmcni
with both parties. He believes ihc
time may be coming for a third
party which could represent the
"sensible center of the American
political spectrum,"
If nothing else. Powell knows
how to please the American people
His platform is nebulous at best
but more will be revealed as ho
makes a high-profile book tour this
month.
Who knows? The United States
may not be ready for another exc
utive military man. The time mav
not yet have come for a minorilv
president But the idea of Colin
Pov*ell in office is very interesting
at least.
In his lifetime Colin Powell has
lived America. At present, as
Americans search for direction, he
could be the one to lead us into the
21st century. We already know
he's a strong leader and a great
man, and he would make a fantas
tic candidate, but whether or noi
he'll make a great president is
something we're just going to have
to find out.

Down with the textbook empire
Returning to school each semester almost brings
tears to my eyes and its not because I'm so glad to
be back here at UMass. The tears ate simply due
to the realization that I will spend more money in the first
two weeks than I will throughout the _^_^______
rest of the semester.
I know what you are thinking.
what method of enjoyment could
possibly send my financial situation
into such a harrowing tailspin.
Unlortunalely I don't receive even
the teeny weeniesi bit of enjoyment
out of parting with this rather large
sum of cash. Maybe it wc>uld be a lot
easier to accept this loss if the money
wasn't going lo the Textbook Annex.
The Annex has such a hold on
our schools little textbook world,
they can basically name their price.
Despite the revollingly high prices
these books cost, we as students
will pay for them because we need
them. It's either pay for it at the
Annex or go on a statewide book
hunt and pay for it in gas money.
Allow me to give you a little evi-
dence against the high and mighty
Annex prices, A friend of nrine
recently, shall we say. beat the sys-
tem. He checked a price on a book in
the Annex and upon discovering that
the book would set him back 45 big ones, he switched to
plan B.
This fellow worked in a book sfore during the sum-
mer so he called up the store and ordered this book.
The fun part of this is it only cost him 14 bucks,
granted this was with his employee discount. But let's
be reasonable here, even with a 50"o discount the
original price would siill only be $2«. Bui I highly
doubt he had that high of a discount, which means
the book was even cheaper. Regardless, we are still
talking about some serious price markups on the part
of the Annex.
As if we don't pay enough money for tuition here al
UMass, the school feels they need to squeeze us for eveiv-
thing we've got. 1 1 think the school would just rather we
spent our money on them instead of on beer and ciga-
rettes.)
The Annex will continue to name their prices at will
until people will no longer pay for them, or lake their
business elsewhere — as is the case of the many proles
sors who have the books for their class come from ihe
book stores in town. Not that those stores are any cheap-
er, but at least it takes some business away from the
Annex, which might in the long run force them to lower

some of their prices. Well, maybe not. but it's at least
Worth the shot.
Until prices go down we all will continue to pay
the .XniKx lor iheir seemingly endless wealth of avail
able knowledge, that's in paper
form of course. We will pav li'f
these books with hopes that we il
get a nice chunk of change for
them at the end of the semester
Sure thing, the check's in the mail
Thinking of the good ol' textbook
buyback usually arouses me to
indulge in a hearty guffaw. But upi'"
further reflection my laughter dissi
pates into the horrific realization ol
what the buyback really is — text
book extortion. After spending 300
greeners on books one might envision
a healthy payback. Then they may .is
well envision themselves headinj:
towards the light, because a big pav
back ain't gonna happen lack.
The Annex knows at the end ol
the semester we're all in such dire
need for cash that we lake an\
amount we can get our hands on. II
we actually have some money when
we hear that petulant offer of theirs,
we'll laugh in there rosy faces. But
il we're broke ... gimmee that
money.
I d ically like lo know how the annex decides just exacl-
l.v how much they'll give you for a used book. The condi
tion ol the book certainly holds no weight and they barelv
evenlcKikat it.
I could buy a book, never even crack the bindin;;
lelurn il at the end of the semester receiving a lot le-
than I paid lor it, and get about the .same as the guv
Whose book has pages missing, a torn binding and
tiighlighting all over it, even if the highlighting was
done with a black marker. Not to mention that these
two books will both be on the shelf the next semeslei
with a 75 percent markup of what Ihey bought iheni
back for.
Does the Textbook Annex really need to make ilii^
much money at the expense of the students? The Annex
v^ould make plenty of money without having to sell at
extremely high prices and buyback at extremely low
prices.
We are all being financially raped by the Textbook
Annex, and to continue the metaphor, we're not reporting
". Ihe Annex system needs to be changed or else we will
continue to pay even higher prices and receive even lower
returns.

Morphine's soothing sounds return
Sandman & company bring two string bass and sax to Noho
By AAike MocLean
Collegian Staff
The walls at Pearl Street will be
shaking with the sound of many a
great bass groove this Wednesday
night as the Boston trio Morphine
takes the stage for a night of infec-
tious music.
Heralded as one of the more orig-
inal bands to come out of the
Boston scene in quite some time.
Morphine has. from the very start,
been a band with its own identity
(rather than just a band featuring
former Treat Her Right members).
This identity has been forged, main-
ly in part to the band's unusual
instrumentalion.
Featuring Mark Sandman on
two-string slide bass and vocals.
Billy Conway on drums and Dana
Colley on saxophone, the trio first
began to attract the bulk of its fol
lowing after the release of their sec
ond album. Cure For Pain. The
album's dark overtones, combined
with a mixture of effects on both
Ihc bass and saxophone made five
of the songs on the album a perfect
fit for the soundtrack to the
art-house flick Spanking The
Monkey.
The band's latest album. Yes. fea
tures more unrelenting grooves,
catchy sax hooks and the quirky
singing/spoken word lyrical works of
Sandman that made Cure For fain an
alternative smash.
But the real magic of this band is
in its live show, which are known
throughout the country for being
notoriously crowd-pleasing which
they have proved in performances
in all over the country and in
Europe.
Morphine will play Pearl Street
Mghtcluh in Northampton on
Wednesday night ot 7 p m. Tickets

Sculptor creates from drawing
By Michelle Lugo
Collegion Staff
A "Do not Disturb" sign should be placed at the
entrance of the special exhibitions gallery at the
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. "The exhi-
bition "Portrait of a Turkish Man" recreates the solemn
and solitary mind-set of an artist at work.
In "Portrait of a Turkish Man" Spanish artist juan
Muhoz crafted his own version of a delicate and color-
ful miniature called "Portrait of a Turkish Scribe or
Artist" by Gentile Bellini, which is part of the perma-
nent collection al the museum. Mufioz's installation
shows a polychromed bronze statute of a boy sitting
down, immersed in his work. The white enclosed
room lacks windows or any type of decoration, with
the exception of dark, oilstick drawings of human
mouths.
The original Bellini drawing is a very delicate por-
trait of a Turkish man dressed in elaborate and
embroidered attire, drawing on a blank tablet.
Bellini's version incorporates western techniques
such as shadowing, dimensions and human propor-
tion, together with Byzantine features, such as deco-
ration.
What was he drawing in that blank tablet?
According to the exhibition guide, the miniature
attracted the attention of ihe internationally renown
sculpture last spring during his stay as an artist-in-res-
ident For Munoz, it raised questions on the "ideas of
inner focus, concentration and gaze, which equally
describe the subject of the painting, the state of mind
of an artist, and the changing and historical relation-
ship of the viewer lo the work of art." according to the
exhibition guide.
The second theme that stands out and influenced
Munoz's work is the feeling of being an "outsider."
according to the exhibition guide. He is a contempo-
rary artist forcLxl to deal with strangers and feelings of
foreignncss while displaying his artistry all over the
world, similar to Bellini's experiences working abroad
500 years ago
Gentile Bellini, an Italian artist of the 15th century
from \'enice. was famous for his family affiliations,
particularly his brother Giovanni Bellini, reputed to be

My name is Frederick Bloom. I graduated from
the University of Massachusetts in 1971 and the
New England College of Optometry in 1975. I
am very proud of the high quality of eye care
delivered to more than 80,000 individuals over
that last 20 years.
1 have been on the teaching faculty of the New
England College of Optometry and recently co-
authored an article with Dr. Abel, a UHS physi-
cian, that was published in a national optome-
try journal. In addition, I am credentialed in
diagnostic ocular pharmaceuticals by the massa-
chusetts Board of Optometry.
Eye care services include:
• Complete optometry examinations
• Reduced rates on spectacle frames and
lenses from local participating opticians
• Emergency eye care
• Comprehensive contact lens service
Our staff takes great pride in being about to fit
many people who have had difficulty in the
past wearing contact lenses.
Patient feedback of those who have used the
UHS Eye Care Program over the years has been
consistently excellent.

Innocence Mission poised for big time
By Mike Burke
Collegion Staff
How musi it feel to be labeled a hoi new band alter
being around lor 12 years? Well you eould ask the
Innocence Mission when they play the Iron Horse tonight
in support ol their sophomore release on A&M. entitled
Glow.
Largely due to the success of their single. "Bright As
Yellow." the Innocence Mission can now be heard on
alternative radio stations across the country along side ol
\'erruca Salt and Green Day.
Glow is probably the band's finest moment and bassist
Mike Bilts attributes it to the fact that. "We spend a lot of
lime together outside of practice and recording. Our
friendship is a big part of our music."
The band indeed must be friends because for the past
12 years the band has been playing in the depths of obscu-
rity. Before Glow, they released two albums on A&M. The
Iniioience Mission and Lmhrellu. Both of which received
critical praise but barely made a dent in record sales.
The band is led by Karen Peris who writes all of the
songs and sings lead voc?ls. She sights musical geniuses ol
John Lennon. Paul Simon and REM. as big influences as
well as the lesser known Red House Painters.
They have certainly put in their time as a band and it
looks as if the future will be bright. Tonight's show at the
Iron Horse should prove to be a delightful show with one
of the hottest not so new bands around.
The huuHcme Mission plus a speiiul guesi are appear-
ing at the Iron Horse tonight for a 10 p.m. show. Tickets
are $b and are available at the door.

September 1 7, 1 995
The Massachusetts Wind
Orchestra musicians gathered in the
John M. Greene Hall at Smith
College on Sunday. September 17.
Under the baton of its founder,
Malcom W . Rowell. jr.. the orchestra
played a varied selection of pieces
from composers including
Hindeman. Wilson, Sullivan, Downs
and Fillmore.
A 55-member volunteer ensemble,
the Massachusetts Wind Orchestra
premiered in the fall of 1992. The
members consist of public and pri-
vate school music educators as well
as private music teachers, freelance
musicians and over 30 University of
Md'>sachusetts Department of Music
graduates.
The program opened with
Marche Hongroise and ended with
three contrasting marches,
enabling the audience to gain a
sense of the different character of
the respective pieces. Overall, the
performances were even and
engaging and the musicians were
commended by a well-deserved
standing ovation.

one of the most famous Venetian painters of that
century, and his brother-in- law Andrea
Mantegna.
Perhaps other members of his family reached
higher status as painters, but Gentile Bellini's por-
traits won him great recognition and a post in the
official delegation to serve as a painter for Sultan
Mehmet II in Constantinople. The drawing of the
Turkish man was composed by Bellini during his
two year stay there.
If for Muhoz the Turkish man was drawing
mouths, then what were they saying? The artist
suggest through the museum's publication that
not only the context of Bellini's drawing inspired
him. but also the location of the miniature in the
Early Italian Room of the museum. Inside the
room works by other masters as Fra Angelico
and Piero della Francesca. hand-crafted tiles and
a monuinental fireplace surround the miniature
drawing. However, the view from the
second-story window of the Muddy River (part
of the swampy Marshlands of the Fenway, one of
the public parks that encircles Boston),
enhanced Muiioz's perception of the Bellini
miniature
The miniature is one the smallest works inside
the Early Italian Room but it breaks through the
harmonious protected walls of the Isabella Stewart
Gardner Museum to become influenced by the
voices of the river. The exhibition guide book
explains. "What danger lies just outside the win-
dows of the Gardner Museum? Muhoz suggests
that a disembodied voice speaks from the river,
rousing fears anu feelings of guilt and complicity
... but here too. it is frustrated, and no exchange
occurs.
The only dialogue that does take place happens
in the gap between the artist's creation and the
mind of thf spectator, leaving an atmosphere
physically charged like electrical synapses, emo-
tionally charged like childhood associations and
historically charged like the discipline of art mak-
ing."

One other potential answer appears to be first round draft
choice McLaren. At only I8-years -old. the 6-foot-4-inch
rookie has already impressed the Bruin brass.
"Kyle McLaren has had a super camp for us. He's done
everything that's been asked of him. " Kasper said. "He's
showing u lot of poise and confidence for a voung guy. I'm
encouraged by it."
Sinden agreed with his new coach.
"He's a pretty solid defensemen. He's only 18-years-okl
and we must always remember that." he said. "He's a strong
kid. He looks to me as if he's going to be a heckuvu player."
In goal Kasper will look to Blaine l.acher as his No. I
nelniinder. with Scott Bailey and Rob Tallas hoping to
challenge Craig Billington for back-up duty.
Sinden expects another good year from Lacher.
"He had a terrific year |last sea.soni as a first -vcar play-
er. He's gut to play at least as well this year." Sitiden said.
"From what I've seen so far. he's a little lighter. He's
quick He played very well so far. I don't see any reason
that he won't improve."
The combination of a revamped offense, new uniforms
and a new building, has brought new excitement to fans
of the organization,
"I think there a rise in excitement." Sinden said. "With
the EleetCenter and a couple of players we've acquired
that are new to the team, are well known around her. We
had two first round draft choices. All of those contribute
to it."
Is it exciting for Sinden?
"Darn right it is." he says with a big grin "It never
changes for me."

New additions make Bruins optimistic
By Matt Vaulour
Collegian S*aH
GiHng iniu ihc 1995-96 season, the
Bi>>i(.>n Bniins arc kxjking towaixl more
oftenso in hope> of making a run at
their first Stanle> Cup in o\er 20 years.
It Hrida> night > Black and White
intra>quad scrimmage at the William
D. Muilins Center was any indica-
tion, the Bruins ha\e found thai
offense. The two squads combined
for \'i goals (eight for the Black, five
for the White) in the contest.
.After a disappointing finish last
sea-on in which the Bruins were
eliminated by New lersey in the first
round of the playoffs, the B's made
wholesale off-season changes. Gone
was head coach Brian Sutter, who
was replaced by former Boston center
Steve Ka^per. The new coach was
immediately given offensive resources
that hi^ predecessor had lacked.
The Bruins look advantage of the
COM cutting fire sale in Pittsburgh,
dealing young forward* Bryan
Smolinski and Glen Murray to the
Pens in exchange for Kevin Stevens,
who Boston has long coveted, and
Shawn McEachem. The Bruins picked
up a pair of talented free agents as
well in Icx; Mullen and TtKld Elik.
The newcomers wasted no lime in
getting involved in the Black and White
game. McEachem scored the White
squad's second goal on a line with Cam
Neely and Dave Reid. who was filling
in for the injured .Adam Gates.
According to Kasper. the all star
center's progress is right on schedule
"Adam is progressing perfectly. "
said the first-year cv)ach. "He had
surgery on his finger. It was recom
mended by our medical staff that he
stay out of contact for the first week
or two of training camp. I don't see
any pressing urge to change that."
it is unusual at this time of year to
be talking about the Bruins and not
wondering how healthy Neely is. but
the early reports on the star power
forward are good ones.
"Cam is skating as well in this camp
as he has in five or six years," said
Bruins President and General Manager
Harry Sinden. "He kwks very good."
Neely is expected to rejoin Gates as
one of the league's lop duos. Factor in
Ray Bourque, Stevens and Al lafrate
(if he's ever healthy) or Don Sweeney,
and the Bruins could have one of the
league's elite power play units.
Elik and Stevens, who were play-
ing together on the Black squad's
first line, played like they had been
linemales for years. The two. along
with linemate Sandy Moger. com-
bined lor three second period goals,
including a highlight film
spin -around tally by Stevens to put
the Black squad comfortably ahead
"I think this was Kevin's best outing
of the camp so far." Kasper said. "He
seemed to fit well with Elik and Moger
Tliey seemed to play well together as a
tno. I'm encouraged by that."
The abundance of forward talent
has Kasper excited about the possible
ci'mbinations.
"Right now we have some depth."
Kasper said. "I plan on spreading
[the offensel around."
Despite the new players. Kasper is
stressing that the team has to play
differently if it is going to be more
successful this year.
"Personnel wise there is a lot of
changes, but this team has to play dif-
ferently than they have in the past. " he
said, "in the playoffs. New lersey initi
ated everything and we sort of trii-d to
react to it. We have to become a team
that doesn't sit back and wail to see
what's going to happen.
"We have to dictate how the games
going to be played. With those addi-
tions, we have a good chance ot
doing that."
One of the factors that allowed
New lersey to dictate the play was its
size superiority. In addition lo the
scoring potential, the off season
acquisitions could make the Bruins
big and bad again.
Stevens boasts a 6-foot-5-inch
217 pound frame, while Elik stands
in a 6- foot 2 inches at almost 200
pounds as well. First round draft
choice Kyle McLaren (b fcK)t 4. 210
pounds) can throw ihe weight around
with the best ol em
Stevens, a veteran of two Stanley
Cup Championship teams in
Pittsburgh, likes what he sees so far
from his new teammates.
"It's nice to be here Im excited,
but we'll wait to see what happens."
said Stevens, who is optimistic about
the team's potential. "Its a good
team We have a good nucleus of
players and I think we can work
toward something good."
While the offense appears to be
rolling along smoothly, there have
been some questions on defense.
Kasper has pledged to limit
Bourque's minutes as the Bruin cap-
tain continues to age. Don Sweeney
is coming off of his best season as a
pro. but with Al lafrate still sidelined
for a unknown time increment, the
Bruins will look lo some of their
younger blue liners to step forward.
Ion Rohloff and |ohn Gruden. who
both showed signs of promise a year
ago. and veteran Alexei Kasatonov
will be expected to step up.

Bruins find
forward talent
in abundance
By Justin C. Smith
Collegian Staff
It's a dilemma that any coach
would love to have facing him
entering a season: having too
many talented forwards in
training camp.
The 1995 Stanley Cup play
offs proved that the Bruins
needed help at the forward
position. The top checking line
of the New lersey Devils
focused on Cam Neely and
Adam Gates, while taking their
chances with a suspect second
line.
The Devils held the Bruins to
five goals in five games and
Boston was eliminated from the
playoffs early.
Questions were raised as to
who could pc)ssibly fill the role
on the second line and take the
heat off of Neely. Gates and
whomever the left wing of the
day happened to be.
But this year, things could be
very different.
President and General
Manager Harry Sinden went
out and acquired proven scor-
ing talent. Not only has the new
blood revived the team, but it
has made the reHiming players
realize if they don't show some-
thing during the preseason,
they will not be wearing Black
and Gold in Gctober.
The level of intensity in
pre-season workouts and exhi-
bitions has been extremely
high, as well are the expecta-
tions for the season ahead.
What does this mean lo play-
ers from last year's team?
"I think they got the message
here." Sinden said. "This is a
tough team to make."
New coach Steve Kasper has
a very difficult job in trying to
mesh the newcomers to the
learn and decide who should
stay on the club.

Men's water polo earns eighth win
By Teri Kl«in
Collegian Staff
The Massachusetts men's water polo team locked up its
eighth victory of the season this weekend al the Eastern
Water Polo Association League Tourney held in Kings
Point. NY. The Minutemen extended their record to 8 I
defeating all three of its opponents in decisive wins.
First up lor UMass was a difficult Queens College
squad.
A familiar problem arose in the first minutes of the
game when the team came out and quickly fell behind.
Massachusetts coach Russ Yarworth felt that once again
the team's low intensity level was the reason the team got
off lo a sUiw start.
"We siill came out and played without the intensity that
we needed to have in order to win the game." Yarworth
said.
With the score 5-2. Yarworth readjusted the defense.
switching from a zone to a press, which enabled his team to
shut dowTi Queens' premier sharp shooter. Pedro IX-lima
"Our press really seemed to take Queens out of their
game plan and they couldn't adjust for the rest of the
game." ^'arworth said.
The Minutemen went on to outscore its opponents
14-5 en route to a 16 8 victory, allowing only one goal
from Queens in the final two quarters.
The fact that the team overcame an early deficit
impressed senior co captain lohn Luviano. "A gixid thing
aKiut this win was thai we didn't fold being down 5 2 We
came back and stepped up our level of play. This was the
first time that we played with that kind of aggressiveness."
Back in goal once again was Alex Mujica. who had a
strong performance against Queens with seven saves.
Gabriel Marrero and luan Carlos Limardo played excel-
lent defense while Luis Limardo led the way for UMass in
scoring with six goals. Luviano had a solid game picking
up two goals and two assists.
One player in particular who had a key role in UMass'
win was junior Ron Gonen. Gonen. who had missed last
season because of injury, had an impressive outing scoring
five goals and playing a more physical, aggressive game
than in past matches.
The final two games of the tournament proved to be no
problem for UMass. The Minutemen wasted no time
pulling ahead of both their opponents early on before
defeating the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy 25-12 and
lona 26-10.
These two games against lesser opponents allowed
Yarworth lo insert players who had not seen much playing
time this season.
■^arworth was pleased with the performance of his
freshmen and B team players, saying he saw a bright spot
in the team's future. Freshmen Scott Stevens. Geoff Gear
and Carlos Mendez exploded for a combined total of 21
goals. Freshman Dane Temya and junior Paul Engin al.so
saw considerable time in goal.

ninth place in 18:43.
LaFreniere noted that fifth-year

turned in a good race as UMass' sixth
finisher, placing 15th overall. "It was
a very, very good meet for us."
LaFreniere said. "I knew Connecticut
would show up with a strong team
and I was extremely pleased with our
showing against them. This really
gives me an optimistic uuikiok for
the rest of the season.
"I told my mnners that they could
really pull this off if they stayed
together and ran as a pack, lis really
exciting when you tell them they can
do something, and they go out and
do it. It's wonderful. My girls ran
with a lot of heart this weekend. It
would have been a long ride home if
we didn't run well. I'm extremely
pleased and proud."
The Minutewomen will try to
extend their unbeaten streak next

home meet of the season, when they
take on Boston University. Vemiont

its season off to a solid start this Saturday at the
Boston College Invitational.

place, placing just behind Brown and host Boston
College. Michigan took first with 36 points and lona
second with 42, "That was approximately how I
thought we would finish." UMass coach Ken
O'Brien said, "Michigan and lona are strong every
year. Both Brown and BC have already run meets
this year, so they were a little more prepared in
terms of racing readiness,"
UMass' day was highlighted by strong perfor-
mances by a number of runners. "The Minuiemen's
lop finisher was junior Matt Behl, who ran a 24:49,
a personal record. Behl placed 11th overall. Mike
Macieko also eclipsed a previous best, turning in a
time of 24:55. taking 1 3th place.
"Mall ran really well. That was a good time for
that course. Mike had a good race loo. and I'm
happy with how the two of them ran." O'Brien said.
Senior Ethan Nadcau ran a 25:14. finishing 23rd.
and Tim Bollard took 28lh place. On pace at 25:31 .

Student parents upset with aid
By Amy H. Paradysz
Collegian Staff
Batya Weinbaum. a graduate stu-
dent and teaching assistant in the
English Department, had her day care
subsidy from the state of Vermont
cancelled two semesters in a row. On
Sept. 6, she received a notice that
read, "Graduate school is nui an
acceptable training service need."
In the I9b0s and '70s student
activists across the nation pushed for
child care benefits, and received
them, according to Cecilia Rio, child
care coordinator for the Graduate
Student Employee (GEO) organiza-
tion. At first, only two- year associ-
ate's degree candidate's were eligible,
but eventually state welfare was
available to students undergraduate
degrees.
However, graduate students have
never received.these benefits because
their education is considered to be
"professional development," Rio said
"What we're seeing now (if Weld's
proposal is passed] is a retraction of
welfare benefits being extended to
undergraduate students, locking
them in. at best, to an associate's
degree," she said.
Rio, a single parent graduate stu-
dent, called Gov William Weld's
proposal to limit the amount of wel-
fare to two years "a way of shutting
doors, especially to single parents."
University Day Care
The University of Massachusetts
has a day care program with 78 slots.
These positions are rationed —
one-third for undergraduates,
one-third for graduates, and
one-third for faculty and staff.
The two facilities, the Grass Roots
Day School and the New World Day
School, offer day care for children
aged 2- years and nine-months to
five years.
There is a two-year waiting list for
these slots, according to Rio. There
was a list for all three groups, and
that the wait to enroll younger chil-
dren is longer, said Marianne
McKim. budget and personnel man-
ager for Child Care Services.
"I've never been able to get in."
Weinbaum said.
McKim said the fees range from
$106-$ 1 60 a week, depending on the
age of the child, family size and
income.
According to calculations by the
GEO office, the minimum cost for a
toddler for one school year is $7,200.
In addition, the family plan at
University Health Services is $2,358
for two semesters, according to
Health Services. For graduate stu-
dent resident assistants and TAs.
the cost is $208.20. Still, the aver
age yearly stipend for graduate stu-
dent employees for one year is
$8,200 — $1,000 more than child
care costs alone, according to the
GEO office.

SGA to hold elections today for area governments
By Allison Connolly
Collegian Staff
The Student Government Asssociation of the
University of Massachusetts will again be in ses-
sion, marking the start of its year with elections
being held across campus tomorrow.
However this year, the senate has redistricted the
elections and eliminated the "unequal distribution
of senate seats" of last year. Dan Castellano, stu-
dent speaker of the SGA. said.
"The student judiciary came down with a ruling
last semester that said that the implementation of
the fall elections were unconstitutional because
not every student had an equal voice and vote."
Castellano said. "Essentially that meant dispropor-
tionate representation across campus."
Last year, for example, there was one senator for
each house in the Greek Area, representing 50 resi-
dents. In Sylvan there was also one senator for
each dorm, but there were 375 residents to be rep-
resented.
Therefore, there was a definite need to redistrict,
according to Castellano. The senate responded by
creating "at large seats" for individual living areas,
eliminating the senator-per- house rule.
Now, there will be one senator for every 250 stu-
dents. In Southwest, there will be two senators elect-
ed from the high- ri.se dorms which house 500 stu-
dents. Dorms housing less than 250 students, such as
Emerson in Southwest, will be put into the at -large
pool and senators will be elected accordingly.
"This ensures that every student gets an equal
voice in vote." Castellano said. "You won't find the
same disparity as last year."
However, in the Spring elections for area govern-
ment only seven candidates out of 28 positions
were on the ballot, and those seven were all
write-ins.
"They were legitimate write-ins. but they were
winning with only two votes." Castellano said. "If
the elections were by the books, they would be in
charge of a $20,000 budget."
The elections failed last spring because of the
lack of participation in the process.
"The area government that was elected in the
spring was never ratified by the senate." Castellano
said. "A lot of procedures were not followed. We
decided to run the elections again {today] in an
effort to strengthen area government."
These new election; will also provide candidates
with an opportunity to meet with their con-
stituents. "The constitution mandates that prospec-
tive candidates collect 100 signatures. This
requires office seekers to go out into their commu-
nity and find out what the specific needs of the
students are.
"From the perspective of the SGA, the area gov-
ernment officers are the closest connection we have
to the students living in those areas," Castellano
said.
He forecasts that the fall elections will repre-
sent the students more fairly, thus improving rela-
tions between the students and the administra-
tion.
"We've gotten a much better respon.se. which is
what we wanted." Castellano said. "We're striving
to get more students involved in the student
process. The wider we can extend the branches of
the SGA. the stronger the student voice will
become on campus and the better we can represent
the students."
Ceremony recalls
El Grito de Lares
By Michelle Lugo
Collegian Staff
Young activists and Puerto
Rican student leaders joined with
local community figures yesterday
to remember the one and only day
in the history of the island when it
was an independent and sovereign
nation, free from Spanish domin-
ior. and American rule.
"El Grito de L,ares" exploded on
September 23. 1868. when a
group of revolutionaries occupied
the sleeping town of l^res in the
center of Puerto Rico. The rebels
seized the town hall and estab-
lished a provisional government
including president and supporting
cabinet.
By the next day Spanish forces
regathered and killed or itKarcer-
aied the revolutionaries, but the
battle for independence had only
just begun "El Grito de Lares"
left a lasting imprint on the move-
ment for independence and many
Puerto Ricans still celebrate the
date
More than a century later,
speaker Gumersindo Gomez
declared Sept. 19 "El Griio de
UMass." Gomez was invited to
participate by ihe organizers of
Boricuas Unidos the Puerto Rican
student association on campus
Gomez, a public figure among the
Puerto Rican community in
Springfield, borrowed the philo-
sophical underpinnings of the
upsurge and applied them to the
current situation of Puerto Ricans
at UMass.
"What is a Puerto Rican?"
Gomez said. "Let's start thinking
about who we are. We are here to
educate others that we are people,
we are proud, we have the same
ambitions, and we are going
places despite what they say."
Gomez, who served 20 years in
the U.S. armed forces and fought
in Vietnam, said he understands
what it means to fight for ones
beliefs
Gomez said Puerto Ricans have
been U.S. citizens si.ice 1917
because the United Slates needed
more soldiers to fight in the world
wars. Puerto Ricans have been
fighting American wars ever since,
yet a small percentage of
Americans in this country know
that Puerto Ricans are citizens In
Gomez's words to a mostly Puerto
Rican public in front of the
Student Union steps, "we have
paid our dues "
Other speakers, such as gradu-
ate student Rob Venator said the
"El Grito." or r/ic scream in
English, "was a movement claim-
ing a heritage and an identity free
from interference. To allow us to
make decisiims as adults not as
children To participate as ctfuals
in the world "
Graduate student Luis
Carasquillo Correa said. "It is
important that UMass in some
way emphasize the education of
Puerto Ricans. and Dominicans,
especially because they make
such a great majority This event
puts an emphasis on race rela-
tions nut only between Blacks
and Whites but with Hispanics
too.'

CRC organizes for 'Cannabis Awareness' week
By Bryan Schwartzman
Collegian Correspondent
Despite their controversial cause, the Cannabis
Reform Coalition has been one of the most visible
RSO's in the opening weeks of the semester.
The organization began handing out flyers and solic-
iting new members as early as Convocation, and mem-
bers have spent the last few weeks at a table in front of
the Student Union Munchie Store and Campus Center
Concourse.
The organization claims to have solicited I 50 new
members and expects to surpass 1000 this year. They
have already held their first open house and showed
their first informational movie in their newly relocated
office in the Student Union.
Currently, the CRC is preparing for the upcoming
Cannabis Awareness week. On September 18 the
CRC will be having their first general meeting, fea-
turing lawyer and NORML (National Organization
for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) representative
Dick Evans as a gpest speaker. Tuesday night there
will be another open in the CRC office. On
Thursday the 21st the organization will be promot-
ing the movie "SEX, Drugs, and Democracy" which
will be shown in the Northampton Academy of
Music.
On Friday, in conjunction with Earthfoods, the CRC
will be presenting Hemp Food Day. Some of the dishes
served include hemp seed pasta salad, hemp seed melt
into combread. and hemparella.

Springfield voters oust Robert Markel
SPRINGFIELD. Mass (AP) Springfield's Mayor
Robert Markel became a lame duck after Tuesday's pri-
mary vote. That leaves leaving City Council President
Michael Albano and former Mayor Charles Ryan run-
ning against each other in November, in a race that
could parallel a referendum on tasirio gambling in the
city. In unofficial results Tuesday night, Ryan received
7,930 votes, or 37 percent; Albano received 6,764
votes, or 32 percent; and Markel placed third with
4,160 votes, or 19 percent. Voter turnout was about 33
percent.
Frederic Hurst received 1 ,740 votes, or 8 percent, and
Chelan lenkins came last with 694 votes, or 5 percent.
Mayoral preliminary elections also were held in Beverly,
Everett, Lynn and Salem, while Boston, Chicopee,
Northampton and several other cities held city council
preliminaries.
The West Roxbury state representative's seat also was
being decided Tuesday night, after Democratic incumbent
Vincent
Mannering's decision to step dovkTi two months ago.
Markel. a 51 -year-old political science professor, was
elected without opposition two years ago But in the pre-
liminary election his opponents capitalized on several
summer stumbles. Including a move to shut all of the
city's branch libraries. The mayor backed ofi of the shut-
down proposal within five days following a barrage of
public criticism.
Ryan. 68, who last served as mayor from 1962 to 1967.
said he decided to run to push his economic development
platform as an alternative lo casino gambling He spear-
headed an anti-gambling group that narrowly defealc*d a
non-binding referendum last November for a casino in the
city.

Page, who was one of Toney's

more community within the
African-American community.
"This is not about coming together
and calling it a community, but creat-
ing a community." Page said. "We
created more of a sense of a commu-
nity."
Gerald Fonvillc, residence director
in Prince/Crampton cluster, com-
mented on the discussion which Page
initiated. "She said that while she
was a professor on this campus, she
was speaking not as an official of the
University, but as a black woman on
this campus. She put in words, what
a lot of people were feeling as a
member of the African- American
community after the loss of two men
from our community in the past six
months."
The group of students than walked
with candles to the front of |QA
where they held a candle light vigil.
.As the group walked from New
Africa House to Southwest, more stu-
dents and members of the community
joined them, so that approximately
200 students arrived at the doors of
IQA.
Taft Bailey, an organizer of the
event along with Ferrcira and Lizana.
organized the event in response to.
and as a means of coming together
around Toney's death.
"People, in general, come together
at a time of crisis — that's nature's
way of telling us." Bailey said.
'Ii was very powerful, and very
emotional. We wanted to evoke a
spirit to take care of each otiier and
be supportive of each other. Gerald
[Fonvillc) kept repeating something
over and over again, 'I am my broth-
er's keeper.' There's a lot of responsi-
bility there.' Bailey continued.
While no University or police
statement has been issued around the
death of Toney, several speakers
implied that the death was a suicide.
"Of course the University can't
issue a statement yet, everything
points towards suicide," Bailey said.
"No one wanted to speculate, but
that was the theme. ..but still, it
doesn't matter, there's still a loss in
the community."

Given the recent budget cuts from state
university education, what do you think
of John Caliparis new contract?
"Because Two Is Better Than One"
"I'm a little disappointed that peo-
ple who further our education like
f)rofessor$ don't even get half what
[Calipari] does. However, he has
done a lot for our school with his
donations."

"My feeling is that UMass to do
some serious prioritizing as to
where they spend their money. I
think athletics are an important
part of our campus and support
people who wouldn't have the eco-
rwmic capability to go to college,
but UMass needs more academic
furxling."

"SirKe Coach Cal is bringing in a
lot of money to use towards other
sports on campus it doesn't really
affect our tuition. It doesn't bother
me at all. This campus should be
thanking Coach Cal for bringing
prestige and mor>ey instead of con-
demning him."

Day Care are full-lime, and dur-
ing traditional work week hours.

Weinbaum, who would prefer a
more fleiiible. part-time child care
schedule, said. "You end up buy-
ing time that you don't need or
you can"t afford." Wcinbaum"s
solution is to hire a babysitter for
her two-and-a-half-year-old
daughter. Ola.
However, there have been times
when she was forced to bring Ola
to class.
"I had to sit on the floor in the
hallway to nurse my child." said
Weinbaum, who describes the
University as "inaccessible" to
children and student parents. A
few times she has left Ola in the
car while she ran to get a book
from the W.E.B. Dubois Library,
because, said Weinbaum. "There
arc no handicapped parking places
for people with children."
"I think the major problem is

port fcy the University for students
with families." Rio said, "especial-
ly families ur»der different circum-
stances, such as single parent fam-
ilies, low income families and
international student families."
Balancing work, studies & children
Duiing the summer. Weinbaum
was informed that one of her
classes was being changed from
the afternoon to the morning.
Since she had to arrange child
care for this semester by May,
Weinburg had to use a credit card
to make up the $400 difference in
child care costs.
"One of the highest groups in
poverty are young single mothers
and their children." Rio said. "If
some of these changes go through,
they're going to be locked out of
this opportunity |for an educa-
tion!."
The current state subsidies are
only available to welfare recipi-
ents. Most students who work lose
their welfare and their subsidies,
according to Weinbaum, "They
can't work, so they have to stay on
welfare," she said.
When day care facilities have to
take subsidies that are for an
amount less than their normal fee,
they take a pay cut, said
Weinbaum.
After more than five years of
balancing her lime between her
son Malcolm and grad school. Rio
is finding that public kindergarten
.dpcsn'i improve her child care sit-
uation much. There are early
release days e»ery Wednesday in
Amherst, in addition to February
and April vacations and other hol-
idays.
"There's this idea that once
your kid is in kindergarten, all
your problems are over." she said.
Weinbaum, in an attempt to
'discontinue this needless inflic-
tion of pain and suffering," is orga-
nizing a Family Court starting this
Friday at 10 a.m. across from the
Mini- Store in the Student Union.

foods served "contained no psychoac-
tive ingredients" and that they are
"devoid of any THC products."
The finale of Cannabis Awareness
Week arrives on Saturday, when the
CRC will be sending three busloads
of students to the Boston Marijuana
legislation rally NeaHy 1200 people
are expected to attend the
social/political event.
The CRC vrill soon be becoming a
chapter of NORML. said CRC vice
president Brian lulin, who has been a
member since the organizations
inception in the fall of 1991. lulin
described NORML as "committed
individuals who want to see the job
done."
In exchange for access to the
national organizations resources and
recognition, the CRC will donate all
pronts from one of the year's events
to NORML.
On Oct. II the UMass Board of
Trustees will vole on whether to put
a positive check donation on the
semester tuition bill which individu-
als can check off if they wish to
donate $3 to the CRC. As is the
case with MASSPIRG, a negative
"check" must be indicated if the
individual does nut want lo make a
donation.
Two years ago students voted for a
referendum for having the check-off
option on the bill. The upcoming
vote has given the CRC their fare
share of media attention in the past
week.
julin said that the vole "should be
a clear cut issue" and that "the pub-
licity should be focused on the larger
issue."
Lanzerotia said the CRC will take
action against the Hoard of trustees
should ihey block the request.
"If (the Board) attempts lo circum-
vent the will of the students,* he said.
"We are prepared for eminent legal
action *
With the added money that the
donation option could bring, the
CRC plans to create an impartial
drug education program for stu-
dents.
"Students have little access to
health effects based on medical litera-
ture," he said. "We want folks to
know what they're dealing with*
However, as has been in the past,
the CRC has been met with opposi-
tion from some other RSOs.
lamie Resnick, former vice presi-
dent of the Young Republicans Club
and current president of Hillel House
said he was upsei ihat the CRC
passed out literature to freshman at
Convocation.
"Marijuana is illegal, period.* he
said. "They should study it more
instead of trying to legalize an
unhealthy behavior*
He also said he was "sick of the
positive and negative check off fees,*
and that RSOs shoukl raise their own
funds.

Walking down the ignorance aisle
In an age when the word safe
should be s\'non>Tnous with the
word sex, particularly in our age
group, why is il still embarrassing for
the buyer as well as ihe seller lo pur-
chase condoms?
I work in a loc^l drugstore so I see
the same nervous smiles daily. Guy
walks in. searches every aisle in the
store for al least fifteen minutes
before he plops down some after-
shave, gum. Mountain Dew and. oh
yeah, some Trojans. Girl scurries by
me. returns lo the counter with some
lipstick, gum. Cosmopolitan and a
variety pack of rubbers. I look past
both of them to the candy rack across
the way. take their money and won-
der, "should I say have a good night
or will I sound like too much of a
pimp?'
This should all be second nature to
me now. I've sold more
"Astro-glide." and "Magnums" than I
dare recall. I still throw them in the
bag instantly though as if to reassure
the customer I have no idea what
they've purchased. This apparently is
the cross you have to bear for being
responsible enough to protect your-
self.
I remember when my high school
made the news for being bold enough
to suggest dispensing condoms at the
school nurse's office. The community
was in constant debate over whether
or not kids really do have sex —
seemingly unaware of the growing
teenage pregnancy rates.
The most compelling speeches,
though, came from students. They
voiced their horror stories of walking
into 7-11 on a Friday night for a
Slurpee and some safe sex. only to be
This should all be sec-
ond nature to me now,
I've sold more
"Astro-glide. " and
"Magnums " than I
dare recall. I still throw
them in the bag instant-
ly though as if to reas-
sure the customer I
have no idea what
they've purchased.
Tara Ruelle
glared at by the guy behind the
counter eating a com dog. Only the
brave and tough-skinned practiced
safe sex at that point. We were all for
dispensing condoms at school; as
some saw it. no more useless, expen-
sive purchases for one $5 item.
This makes complete sense to me
now when I see people in their 20's
spend an hour in my store just to
avoid a line and make a break for it
with their rubbers. This also rings
true when I feel myself blush as a
16-year-old comes in to ask, "Where
are your prophylactics ma'am?' I
don't want to feel like someone's
sixth grade teacher when someone
puts birth control on the counter in
front of me.
There should be a way for con-
doms to become a lot nwre accessible
as well as acceptable to the public at
large. I don't think passing them out
at Ihe Spring concert does the job.
You see more fountain-tipped
baboons that day than you can shake
a Slick at.
If dispensing condoms at school
isn't the absolute answer to the prob-
lem it might be a small remedy to the
dilemma. If someone like a school
figure were to admit that it's okay to
have sexuality, but to be sexually
responsible, it might ease the minds
of the hormone-driven masses. I cer-
tainly don't think this would be effec-
tive without any education, but il
would be a lot more effective than
seeing the "joy of Life" two years in a
row in health class.
It might also prepare us all for that
adult walk down the birth control
aisle at our local drugstores. It beats
the hell out of a line at a health clinic
for an HIV test.

Living in a diverse society
Writer's \ote- The following eolumrt was' pte-
viously trrittett fiv the dntrsity ntwiletter of
tIGSA Cotporalion duhrig my inlerrisMp
for CICSA this past summer The column
uai written for the education of corporate America
addressed through the experiences of a college student.
It has heen slightly modified.
When I was interviewing for my summer internship
at CIGNA. I remember my reaction when Wayne King,
of Human Resources, mentioned a diversity newsletter
the division published. .4 newsletter on diversity?. I
thought. Why would a corporation care so much
about diversity that it would pub- ^^_^^_^^^^
lish a newsletter about it? But as I ^^"^^~^'^"~
got to think about this question
some more. I understood the pur-
pose.
W'hen you think of the word
diversity, what quickly comes to
mind? Race, culture, gender, age
and sexual orientation are some
examples. But there's more; much
more. Going into college I quickly
learned that diversity is more than
what we can see with our eyes. It
includes the way each individual
thinks.
Wc all come from different
life-shaping experiences and thus
we all have our own unique opin-
ions and beliefs. Some of us are
vegetarians and some of us love
steak and eggs in the morning.
Some of us enjoy hunting while
some of us wouldn't even kill a fly.
Some of us are mathematicians
and some of us are poets. Some of us are single and
some of us are married. Of those that are married,
some have children and some do not. And of those that
have children, some adopt and some do not.
When I was younger, my parents told me to look
down while they scolded me. but in contrast, my
friend's mother would say. "Look at me when I talk to
you I" whenever she would scold my friend.
The list of our diverse society is dynamic and multi-
plying. It was not the same as it was 20 years ago, and
it will not be the same 20 years in the future, just think
back to twenty years ago, nobody had a personal com-
puter or a \'CR. and people could smoke a cigarette
anv-where. There were also less women in the work-
force. The times change fast.
That is why it is important for corporations to
address such a topic. Companies have diverse work-
forces and they also service an array of different cus-
tomers. But business doesn't stop there. Business is
now demanding global interaction. It is now integral to
When you think of the
word diversity what
quickly comes to mind?
Race, culture, gender,
age and sexual orienta-
tion are some exam-
ples. But there's more;
much more. Going into

learned that diversity is

see with our eyes.

do business internationally in order la nay competi-
rfve. *
In less than ten years it will be maodatory If we are
not aware of our own country's diverse society, how
are we going to be aware of Asia's? If we can not
respect the diversity of our own society, how can we
respect Europe's? Or Africa's? Or South America's?
Anyone can tell you a successful relationship, not just a
business relationship, includes respect on both sides.
But let's get back to basics. Probably the first
thought that comes to mind, and one of the most heat-
ed issues of diversity, is ethnicity. Our society is a melt-
__^_^.^.^_ ing pot and it's growing rapidly.
The walls that separate different
races can no longer hold up. We
all have to work and communicate
with people of different racial
backgrounds. There are more
minorities in colleges as well as the
workforce.
When addressing the issue of
race and language, I like to think
of two scenarios First I ask
myself, if I was blind, would I
judge people on the tone of their
voice since I can not see the lone
of their skin?
Second. I like to think of a little
slory I once heard. A professor
and his student were walking
around the city. Two foreign
women walk by them speaking a
different language. The student
says to the professor, "I don't
understand why they're speaking
Chinese and not English. After all,
they're in America." The professor chuckles and smiles
to his student and replies, "Yes, they're in America and
they're speaking a language that is foreign to you. They
were speaking Japanese not Chinese. And they proba-
bly know English too. How many languages do you
know?"
Diversity covers many avenues of differences. As
individuals, we are all different from each other. But
we all have one thing in common, and that one thing
encompasses many other characteristics that we all
share. We are all human beings. We have personal feel-
ings, talents and shortcomings.
Through education and communication tools such as
newsletters and company training programs, we can be
comfortable addressing such a theme because of the
exposure. Only our fears are holding us back.
Differences do not make a person wrong or right, it
makes a person an individual. That is what makes you
diverse too.

Wouldrit 'you like to he a pepper too
Ineed to tell you about The Pepper. But first. I want
you to realize that the story you are about to read is
entirely the truth. I am not exaggerating, and I am not
insane.
Okay, here it is. The story of The Pepper:
No one really knows who picked The Pepper on my
family's vegetable farm in Paxton, Ma., but that hardly
seems important now. The important thing is that it was
picked, and because it was solid red, it was not packed
with all of the other peppers into ^^^__^^_^^
crates for the wholesaler. It was put
aside to be sold in our store.
I can say without boasting that I
discovered The Pepper because it was
I who happened to be filling the red
pepper display when I spotted it ... or
it spotted me.
Two eyes, a nose, a smile.
I couldn't believe what I was see-
ing. The more I looked, the more real-
istic the face in this pepper became.
The big, goofy nose and the endearing
grin were so perfect. It was beautiful
and hilarious at the same time. It was
abcottttol^ unbehevable.
. Of course. I don't expect you to
understand, unless you've seen The
Pepper, how fascinated I was by it. It
made me smile just to look at it. In
fact, it made everyone smile. And so
this pepper with the face in it. The Pepper, was put on
display.
"The reactions from the customers were wonderful:
"Is that really a pepper?"
"That's the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life."
"Did you carve that or something?"
'It's the closest thing to a human face that's possible in
a pepper."
"That's incredible!"
A few days passed and we decided that The Pepper was
too incredible to keep to ourselves. We needed to spread
the news of this magic pepper that made children laugh
and adults stare in awe. Following the suggestion of sever-
al customers, my mother called the Worcester daily news-
paper and told them about an interesting pepper that they
may, if they had time, want to photograph.
In Ihe meantime, my sister and I look pictures of it with
the idea we would blow one up into a poster with s cap-
lion like, "Have a nice day" or "Thank you for shopping
here," and hang it in the store.
I also took The Pepper (wrapped carefully in paper
towels of course) to a friend's house so she could see the
vegetable that I hadn't been able lo slop thinking or lalk-
We live in a fascinat-
ing place, but half the

pictures and I was beginning to believe this had lo be the
most photographed pepper in the world.
Little did I know The Pepper's fame was only in its
infancy.
The next day. The Pepper and my mom made the front
page of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette, and my par-
ents were interviewed by telephone on two radio stations
— one from Worcester (WXLO) and one from Seattle.
^^_^^_^__ Wa. (I'm not kidding.)
People began to come to the finn
asking. "Where's the pepper?" and
we'd point to our little miracle silting
on his own little box under ihe sign
my sister made — "The Pepper."
Two days later, it made The New
York Times.
The Pepper (and my mom) were
famous. We got reports from New
Hampshire and Indiana that the pic-
ture had appeared in papers there.

ing if she could get her picture taken

Too many people knew about him now. He'd begun to
lose his magic.
The Pepper guy just wasn't doing it for me anymore.
But then I looked at him again closely — not as a face,
not as a "he," not as TTie Pepper, but as a pepper — and I
was fascinated all anew.
How could I have begun to take this beautiful creation
for granted? There are so many things that we take for
granted. TTie complexity and beauty of our universe, from
the stars to the peppers, is astounding. We live in a fasci-
nating place, but half Ihe time we just don't realize it
because we've taken it all for granted. Sometimes we need
something like a perfect face in a pepper to make us stop
and take notice.
The Pepper is beginning to soften and wrinkle.
Although we've refrigerated it every night, il has been
picked now for almost 5 weeks. Its lime is drawing near
Everyone says we should find a way to preserve it, but I
don't know. Some of the most enjoyable things in life art
temporary.
The trick is to keep finding more to enjoy.

A warning to some , a reminder to others
T~» ditor's note: The author's name has been withheld
ri for safety reasons.
•*— ' This is a column to all the women who did not
see the Collegian on Sept. 1 1. There was a composite
sketch of a man who attacked a woman in Southwest at
10:15 p.m. the previous Wednesday, infiicting minor lac-
erations and abrasions on the victim.
The article reported that the victim
"in this particular incident did
scream." This implies that there have
been other incidents which were not
reported to the public. I have since
been wondering about how many
other attacks on women we do not
hear about.
Although I have been aware of the
precautions to take to ensure my ov^m
safety, there have been times when I
have let my guard down, so to speak.
Coming from a city, I found the
atmosphere here to be relatively safe.
I did not think twice about walking
around campus at night. — ^.^— _^_
It is because I loo have felt a false sense of security
being in a college town that I feel an even greater need to
inform women about the attack in Southwest.
It infuriated me the story ran for only one day. A major-
ity of the people I talked to had not heard of the story or
had seen the picture. Perhaps it is because the University
of Massachusetts does not want to scare women, or
maybe the story is more common than we would like to
believe.
In the Sept. 18, issue of the Collegian, there was the
story of a tragic death in Southwest. In this case there was
a letter sent to everyone living on campus notifying them
Every woman on cam
pus should have
received a letter notify-
ing them of the story
and reminding them
this campus is not in
some protective bubble
away from the prob-
lems of the real world.
of the incident. Professors were even mentioning it in
classes. I am not trying to make light of this young man's
death, but I feel the campus should have responded just
as strongly to the attack of this young woman.
Every woman on campus should have received a letter
notifying them of the story and reminding them this cam
>^.^__^__^ pus is not in some protective bubble
away from the problems of the real
world. When comparing the two inci-
dents it does not make any sense to
emphasize the death of a young man
who was only a threat to himself over
a person who is a danger to all
women.
I do not understand why the sketch
of this man's face is not plastered all
over campus. This situation will soon
be rectified with the help of other
concerned women. I felt compelled to
write this before I had to read of
another attack of violence against
__^ women.
I do not wish to portray this man as
the only perpetrator of violence in this community. I hope
his actions will serve as a catalyst to some women to take
precautionary measures such as not walking around cam-
pus at night, especially alone, and to utilize the Escort ser-
vice, as inconvenient as it may be.
The fact that an escort service is in place should tell
women that there is known danger on this campus. As for
the women who are already aware of the potential acts of
violence, keep your guard up at all times and encourage
other women to do the same. The University has failed its
female population by not encouraging all women to do the
same.

The chameleon children
Social interaction creates a new level of commu-
nication, noting that society is a cauldron of
cultures. The difficulty of adjusting to differ-
ences can initiate repulsion, yet curiosity of our
senses can beckon attraction. 'There are individuals
in society that have enriched their forces of attrac-
tion due to their constant engagement with differ-
ent cultures. They are known as chameleon chil-
dren
The term chameleon children fol-
lows the distinct habitual patterns of
the lizard creature — the
chameleon. Its ability to change
color in various environments defi-
nitely makes it a fascinating creature. The
chameleon travels throughout earth's landscape
absorbing experiences that no other creature can
imagine, for the chameleon can disappear into the
physical patchwork without revealing its identity.
Likewise, chameleon children have experienced
this similar journey. The purpose of this journey
serves as beneficial to society's debacles which
include relations with foreign and less kiKiwn cul-
tures, and the lack of ambassadors to account for
the overly abundant popular movements of the
20th century.
Chameleon children mold into an adaptive role
at birth. In a majority if not in all of the cases.
these are children growing in a country not their
own and being educated in an intematioival circle
comprising of different cultures.
As they mature, they learn to adapt to others of
different cultures and use the knowledge they have
learned to apply it in a constructive manner This
knowledge will always be used to share experience
with others, but the range for the expression of
these experiences differs Some may express their
knowledge in writing, some in art, or some other
form. Regardless, they attempt to show other peo-
ple the many lifestyles chosen by different people
all over the world.
There are individuals who might be considered
chameleon children but do not fall into the proper
characteristics, because it is quite difficult to estab-
lish criteria that determine who fails or docs nut
fall under this unique category.
There are three general characteristics of
chameleon children. First, they are raised in a
country apart from their land of birth. In this
sense, they are third-culture children, which is just
one more way of identifying tttem. Also, they may
be bom in a country that is not favorable to their
ethnic origins.
Second, they learn three basic cultures: one
being from the country of their ethnic origin,
another being from the country they reside, and the
last being the international culture. International
culture means an environment
where children like their own under-
stand one another better, like an
international school that amalga-
mates ideas from different cultures
to educate children with a global
perspective.
An international school considers the differences
among chameleon children and tries to solve the
problem of identification in a world of confusion
and diversity. The setting of an iniematioital school
creates an atmosphere that unites differences.
Instructors are well aware that whatever they teach
their students must be done in order to respect the
cultures of each and every one of them.
Third, is having exposure to many cultures It is
common to find chameleon children wanting to
meet others different from themselves because they
want to be as international as they possibly can.
Eventually, they hope not to be a citizen of one
country but rather of nuiny countries — that is. hop-
ing to be a citizen of the world.
If the second characteristic were removed, il
would make it easier to identify more and more
people as chameleon children The second charac-
teristic mentions a third culture being an amalga-
mated international culture This international cul-
ture may be learned through travel, yet it is only an
attempt that holds more fortification than instruc-
tion.
Respect is the key to educate these chameleon
children and social interaction is the tool that
screws the nuts and bolts of their understandiitg. It
is not enough for them just to know about the liv-
ing patterns of their colleagues, they also have to
experience these situations.
How do chameleon children experience this
interaction? Simple. They make friends from differ-
ent parts of the world, and learn more about each
other — and about themselves — this way Because
they start learning and absorbing these differences
at a young age. they are more susceptible to adap-
latioits and more sensitive to others' ways.
At a young age. ideas learned become inborn.
The sense of differences in cultures become so
innate that chameleon children fed isolated when
they are not around people who are culturally dif-
ferent from them. The attachment gets stronger as
these children grow older. They may later discover
the meaning of racism, but soon understand that it
is relative to the childhood experiences that one
has gone through, and that mutual respect provide*
a shield against it.
Chameleon children possess an obvious talent in
communication skiUs. since in most cases, they
teitd to be multi-lingual They also have excellent
pubhc relations skills, as they have encountered
many different cultural situations from chiklhood.
When they mature, they become frequently
requested speakers everywhere aiMJ the worid tiaes
and considers them a natural resource
Although chameleon chikiren are the admiration
of most individuals, they are rtot fully understood.
Due to their exposure, they feel attached to many
things which in turn leave them struggling to find a
definite self-identity. Because they adapt, they are
like clones that absorb everything, often leaving
out their own independent identities.
I am one of these chameleon children. Bom in
Burma and raised in the Philippines. I know a lot
about myself and others from having experienced
many diflferent cultures. I grew up in what I regard
as the sanctum to my education, an international
school. The life I live is a blessed one
Yet I wonder who I really am and what I siaitd
for. I have seen so much of the world that I want to
live in every part of it I mention this because my
life has been dyrtamic: this causes me sometimes to
feel lost I can not settle anywhere because I am
constantly unsatisfied with what I have and I want
to amass more krK>wlcdge. In a sense, i am home-
less. I belotig nowhere but everywhere, and I claim
myself as a ever changing creature with rni pemta-
neni path In life. I continue to cross paths. I am
and always a chameleon child.

From death row, Mumia Abu-Jamal: a jaundiced "Eye on America**
Mumia
Abu-Jamol
The urbane Dan Rather, sitting
as the sole anchor of the
evening's newscast, premised
the segment coming up as one which
''■would dej|l with a cast 6f a criminal
'•*who profiled from his crime.* a
theme seconded by correspondent
Anthony Mason, and the subjects of
the segment.
Viewers were left
with the unmistakable
opinion that the man
depicted in the seg-
ment, was getting
"rich" off the killing of a cop in
Philadelphia ..
Nothing could be further from the
truth.
That edition of "Eye on America"
is Exhibit A of "How to produce a
bia.sed. prejudicial and non-objective
report." It was an attack on a book; a
book that deals with many things,
but not the crime for which the
writer has convicted — a fact obvi-
ous to anyone who can. and does,
read.
It is undisputed that the writer was
convicted of a crime, and yes. the
book — Live From Death Row —
does deal with crime — but it deals
with the crimes committed by this
system, this government, members of
the Philadelphia Police, and the
Pennsylvania Department of
Corrections — crimes that no court
has condemned! It illustrates that
some crimes are punished, and others
are not. That is the real reason why
^k'sySltm, land its' merfia ihiJuth
pieces (themselves huge multination-
al corporations) are attacking this
book.
Isn't it ironic that
the very entity that
claims its lifeblood. is
the First Amendment
to the Constitution,
attacks someone for
daring to practice the identical
claimed constitutional guarantee?
What is more important, however,
is the case that wasn't mentioned in
that segment that claimed to deal
with "those who profited form
crime." and why.
Who recognizes the name "Stacey
Koon"?
If you say. "one of the cops who
almost beat Rodney King to death,"
you would be half-right. He is also
the author of the book. Presumed
Guilty: The Tragedy of the Rodney
King Affair (Regnery Gateway.
199)). Mr. Koon is also a beneficiary
of the Koon Defense Fund which has
collected, as of 4-5 months ago. an
estimated $4.6 million dollars — mil-
lion!
In his letter soliciting funds for
the support of his legal efforts
on appeal, and his wife and
five kids, the call for
financial support is
under the title: Sgt

bound. 6-loot-4-inch, 240 pounder,
had attacked LAPD police officers
before the famous video tape was
made."
"At one point," Koon odds. King
"exhibited superhuman strength*
When is a criminal not a criminal?
When they are cops convicted of
crimes? How many of the cops across
the country contributed to this con-
victed crimitial?
You would probably not learn
this from "Eye on." for this was
not. apparently, "news.* In truth,
it isn't news when white cops beat,
kill, or torture black men. women
and children: that is the status
quo.
At the night before the event at the
law enforcement memorial in
Washington. DC. over 100 cops
(mostly from the New York City
Police Dept.) wrought havoc upon
the Washington Regency Hotel, by
acting like a squadron of drunken
louts — they ran through the hotel
buck naked, sexually harassed inno-
cent women who lodged therein, they
sprayed fire extinguishers into the air
conditioning system, and beat on
doors, shouting "Open upt Federal
Police!"
What constitutes crimes for aver-
age people, becomes 'boys getting a
little steam off."
Who profits from crime?
Don't the cops?
Doesn't the media?
Mumia Abu-famal is a Black
journalist who has been sitting on
death row since 1981. after being
convicted for the first-degree mur-
der of Daniel Faulkner, a
Philadelphia police officer. Certain
evidence shows that Abu-famal may
have been framed up. and that his
past affiliation with the Black
Panther Party was unfairly used lo
portray him as a cop killtr.
Currently, he is under a stay of exe-
cution and appealing for a new trial
at the federal level.
A question of cultural geography
Student trustee struggles to success
Daniel Rivera relates stories of personal & communal triumphs
By Michael Elliott
Collegian Staff
Midway through the spring semester of 1994,
Daniel Rivera was elected to the University of
Massachusetts Board of Trustees to represent the
students of the Amherst campus. lust four years
earlier, this accomplishment would have hardly
seemed possible.
A native of Lawrence. Rivera grew up in public
housing within one of the city's predominately
Latino neighborhoods.
"When I got out of high school, I was a little
unsure about college." Rivera said. Seeking a viable
alternative, he enlisted in the army and was
promptly shipped off to Germany as part of the 5rd
Armored Division.
Serving as a military police officer. Rivera spent
a year and a half in Europe until 1991. when he
was sent to the Persian Gulf as part of Operation
Desert Shield.
"It was a horrible experience." said Rivera, who
was assigned the duty of policing the streets of
Kuwait City at war's end. "That was really the
toughest thing we did."
Upon his return home. Rivera became involved
with the Lawrence Community Partnership and
worked on voter registration campaigns as well as
violence and substance abuse prevention pro-
grams.
"We also got into the politics of the communi-
ty," said Rivera, who along with some of his
like-minded associates, formed the Latino Policy
Institute. "We were a real po.sitive group," he said,
brought together to analyze the political issues
which affect a city where people of color are in the
majority.
Rivera's work with the Institute enhanced his
interest in activist issues, prompting him to apply
and receive an internship in )une of 1995 with the
Lawrence Community Redevelopment Department
(LCRD). a subsidiary of the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development.
"I didn't have the technical skills, but I acquired
those as I went on," Rivera said, whose two prima-
ry concerns involved investment patterns of local
banks as well as the city-backed building demoli-
tion campaign.
This was of great concern to Rivera, as most of
the buildings designated for demolition were locat-
ed in low- income. Latino areas. Many of the struc-
tures, he pointed out, were suitable for those in
need of low-cost housing. However, the mayor
and other city officials ignored Rivera's protests,
which eventually came back to haunt him as he
was quietly demoted to "dencal work status," at
the LCRD
"1 became a political casualty," he said.
With few options left in Lawrence. Rivera opted
this time in favor of college and enrolled in the
University of Massachusetts in the fall of 1993 as a
political science major.
Early on he became involved with Casa
Dominicana, a UMass student group which seeks
to "raise consciousness about issues" which con-
cern Latino students with descendence from the
Dominican Republic, Rivera said.
Rivera's involvement with Casa Dominicana
brought him into contact with students throughout
the school who shared his passions and ideals.
Such suppon eventually took its toll: in Ihe spring
of 1994, Rivera was asked by current SGA
President Christine Lopes and Nelson Acosta,
Director of the Office of ALANA Affairs, to run
for Student Trustee.
After a two-month campaign, Rivera assumed
the position of trustee at a lime when it is enjoying
a expanded influence on campus — largely due to
Al Lizana. the trustee for the previous two years,
who worked hard to increase the power and impor-
tance of the office.
"We've learned the game." Rivera said, citing
many recent student fought victories at the stale
level, such as the freezing of fee increases for the
academic year 1994-95. and a reduced fee iiKrease
this year.
"I have made my voice more important. If (the
Board] sees you working with the same issues they
are struggling with, they'll have more interest in
(student) issues." Rivera said.
Having firmly established a reliable and
hard-working reputation, fellow trustees now
count on Rivera for his valuable, first-hand insight
about UMass.
His work however, is far from easy. Recent
appointments by Governor William Weld to the
Board have overly politicized UMass and put a
strangle hold on the efforts of those such as Rivera,
who are striving to make needed improvements to
the system.
While only a junior. Rivera will graduate this
year. What's the rush? Curiously enough, he wants
to get back to the place which drove him lo UMass
initially.
"I went home last summer and realized why I
came here," Rivera said.
With a community in need of leadership, Rivera
knows that the struggles he has faced at UMass as
a Latino will continue after graduation: this in turn
he concluded "will make my struggle at home easi-
The other day I was talking to a
Bohemian poet, one of those
who sits at your local bar and
has a lyrical answer to every question
that you could conceive under the
influence of some spirits, and he
asked me "are you Pijerto Rican?" I
said "yes," and then he asked me so
what are you doing living out there in
"el extranjero?" I replied, 'Well, I
am a student, and I can'l make a
decent living In the island." He then
told me 'You soM out! You need to
be here working fur the island's
progress!' *You are no longer Puerto
Rican!"
All I could think of was "what
difference does il make whether I
am physically living in the island or
not?" What does the geography of
my temporary home mean? And
what is its relation-
ship to who I am? My
identity?" Clearly,
and by definition, the
law treats Puerto
Rico as a territory of
the United States, neither making
the island a state of the union, nor
making it an independent country.
This means that by juridical defini-
tion we are 'gringos. " we are citi-
zens of the United States, and
members of the Anglo-American
nation.
Granted our membership is a
condition of our historical experi-
ences, as well as that of those who
have also been placed at the mar-
gins of the Anglo-American nation,
but we are still U.S. citizens in dif-
ference to citizens of any Latin
American nation, such as Mexico or
Chile. But what about my culture?
How can I measure my identity?
How can I physically define my cul-
ture? Where do I draw the lines or
borders of who I am and/or who I
Fl
Pirato
am itot?
Culture transcends these imag-
ined physical spaces. I say imag-
ined because the map is simply a
graphical representation of our
island In a piece of paper or how-
ever one may want to mentally pic-
ture it. I mean, If I travel, I carry
my identity wherever I go, to wher-
ever I visit.
My culture is not something that
I can put in my back pocket and
wear it as a t-shirt whenever I want
to. It is not something I constructed
as I traveled or grew up. As a ntat-
ter of fact, I did not choose to be
bom in this culture, or that place.
To be sure, I did not choose to be
bom into a family, or a home with
a particular notion of the world.
Yet I embrace these values, and I
like that food, I enjoy
that music, and I
laugh at those jokes.
I am who I am
because of many
accidents. many
interpretations, many experiencei
clashing and coming together.
Within this context, I want to pro-
pose that a definition, or rather a
territorialization. of the idea of cul-
ture should rely on reference
points, on guiding lights in a sea of
confusion.
Culture Is something that flows
beyond the physical borders of a
nation, a state, an island. Culture is
something that is always changing
and transforming, always in flux.
Culture respects no boundaries, no
locations, no physical spaces, no
time-freezing definitions. Perhaps the
best way of articulating this is by
relying on a traditional Zen saying:
"Culture just is!"
El Piraia is a UMass graduate stu-
dent.

Leon Redbone will play the Iron Horie this Thursday night bringing his special mix of wacky guitar playing.
Redbone to hit Pioneer Valley
By Mike Burke
Collegian Staff
The 1990s arc shaping up as a
decade obsessed with technology
from compact disc players to digitally
recorded music. So much so that
bands often forget that it is the music
that counts. Leon Redbone is a
throv.back to those good ole days
before CDs. laserdiscs and \CRs.
Redbone is a performer known to
sing old Confederate songs from the
ltl70s such as "Polly Wolly Doodle"
which, for sure, sounds nothing like
the Nirvana song of a similar title
Redlx>ne is a performer and throw-
back balladeer. who will be bringing
his show to the intimate setting of the
Iron Horse Music Hall tomorrow
night. His voice has been described
as sounding like, "an alligator from
New Orleans," and comparisons to
Tom Waits are numerous. His voice
has been used in several well known
television commercials including one
for Budweiser singing. "This Bud's
For You."
On his last album, Whinling In the
Wind. Redbone collaborated with
stars such as Ringo Starr. Merle
Haggard, and Roger McCuinn to
produce an album mixing old time
hits with artists more in tune to
today's music world. It is a wonder-
ful combination.
Thanks to lohnny Carson. Leon
Redbone has become a near house-
hold name even for the musically illit-
erate. Carson rtamc-d Redbone as one
of his favorite performers on "The
Tonight Show."
Since his first album in 1975.
Redbone has been continuing to
entertain audiences performing the
hits we were loo young lo know
about.
It has been slated. "Leon
Redbone's music is .America's music
— the best of where America came
from and the place where American
roots and imaginations still dwell.*
Tomorrow night's show at the Iron

Directed by km SoMey
wirfi Johnny Lee Miller, Angelina Jolie, Fisher Stevens
Dade (lohnny Lee Miller) is crouched over a laptop
computer, his fingers dancing frenetically over the
keys, oblivious to the techno music thumping in the
background. Unknown to him. Kate (Angelina jolie)
slinks up behind him and whispers 'I hope you don't
screw like you type.'
If you pine for those heady
days in the 80's when the silver
screen was overflowing with
horny computer geeks, then
Hackers is the movie for you. It's
a movie completely preoccupied
with sex. probably more so than
any recent movie although the
upcoming Showgirls might
change that. Hackers never miss-
es an opportunity to slide in a
quick double entendre or to
squeeze a gratuitous wet T-shirt
onscreen.
The difference, however,
between Hackers and Weird
Science is that in the 90s, com-
puter geeks are cool. The explo-
sion of home computing, rave cul-
ture, the Internet and digital
effects technology have made
being a computer geek awfully
trendy. Now, instead of horny
underdogs with acne, computer
geeks sport a new image: homy
with bleached hair.
The Hackers squad includes: Dade (a.k.a. Crash
Override), a homogeneous looking kid with blue eyes,
bleached hair and an affinity for vests; Cereal Killer, a
neo-hippy designated for comic relief and profound
comments like: "Whoa — you're like the king of the

who does little besides providing a laugh-track and
getting slapped by his mom.
Kale (a.k.a. Acid Bum) plays the dual role of the
"feminist "/love interest. The primary manifestations
of her "feminist" streak (presumably introduced as
compensation for Hackers juvenile locker-room
mindset) are writing male bashing manifestos on the
blackboard ("the reason men have bigger brains than
dogs is so that they don't hump women's legs at par-
ties') and constantly questioning Dade's manhood
('That computer's too fast, you're not man enough
for it"). Of course she "does it" with Dade at the end.
but not without first having fantasies of him in a
dress.
The villain in Hackers is Plague
(Fisher Stevens), a slick, black
suited, skateboarding, computer
security expert. His scheme is to
steal $20 million from his compa-
ny by planting a virus and blaming
it all on those pesky hackers. Of
course, the hackers accidentally
stumble on Plague's plan, and try
to foil it with their amazing com-
puting prowess.

ple. Hackers is culturally oul of

It may be hard to make 'hacking'
look exciting, but resorting to
glitzy graphics doesn't help this
movie much.
Hackers isn't very exciting
because there is absolutely nothing in the movie lo care
about. The characters are unreal and the 'hacking'

New talk show hosts hit television
By Scott Williams
AsioCiOted Press
NEW ^ORK — Among the producers of this fall's
bumper crop of syndicated talk shows, two stand outs,
Dick Clark and Brando Tartikoff. arc regarded as two of
the sawiest guys in television.
"Tempesit," with 22-ycar old ex-Cosby kid Tempestt
Bledsoe, is Clark's production. "Mark Walberg" is
Tartikoffs.
They face a crowded field - newcomers Danny
Bonaducc, late of "The Partridge Familv"; Gabriellc
Carieris, late of "90210"; Carnie Wilson, late of the
singing group Wilson Phillips; George Hamilton and
Alana Slewan. late of connubial bliss
Not to mention veterans like Oprah, Sally, Rikki, lenny.
Rolanda. Geraldo. Monlcl and Phil.
"There is a lot of clutter." acknowledged Tartikoff. the
former NBC Entertainment president, "but I'll say oul of
the other side of my mouth that there were a lot of talk
shows when Rikki Lake came on. when lenny |ones came
on and when Monlel Williams."
"There's nothing new. They're all spun from some-
thing," said Clark, a 26-year-old disk jockey when
"American Bandstand' called in 1956. 'It starts with the
show, or the talent."
Both producers, interviewed separately, agreed that the
relationship the viewers form with the show's on-air per-
sonality is all-Important.
"This isn't an acting job.' Clark said. "People fronting
something, they're there standing virtually naked in front
of the audience in terms of what they are. You either like
'em or you don't like 'em. Arxl if you don't, you go down
in flames.

IN VIVO/NATURE STUDIES
Uniyenity Go/lery
Sept. 9 - Oct. 20
The University Gallery is currently showing two sep-
arate exhibitions. The first, titled "In Vivo" features
sculptural works by Rebecca Horn. |on Kessler,
Dennis Oppenheim and Alan Rath. Each work in this
exhibit is ingeniously animated through electrical
and/or mechanical means.
Some of the works exhibited include "Super Wallflower"
by Alan Rath, which consists of an arrangement of pulsating
and unexpectedly silent speakers "Fool Box." also by Rath.
fcalure^ an exposed cathode ray lube displaying a mouth
and tongue. "Blue Tattoo" by Dennis Oppenheim uses a live
video camera to project a blue heart onto a hanging screen.
"Bush Wings" by Rebecca Horn is a pair of wings ntade
from paint brushes which flap gracefully when activated by
sound.
In addition to the cleverness and fascination of the
individual sculptures, there is an interesting effect cre-
ated by the assemblage of all these works together in
one room. For example, Dennis Oppenheim's
"Attempt to Raise Hell." sounds a large bell at random
intervals. The noise in turn causes "Brush Wings' to
begin its (stationary) flight.
The exhibit is supplemented by a video tape presen-
tation of the film Der Laufder Dinge (The Way Things
Go). 1986-87, by Peter Fischli and David Weiss. This
fascinating and fun film shows a chain reaction of
bags, balloons, buckets, tires, fireworks, flames, chemi-
cal reactions and foam which lasts an astonishing 30
minutes.
"In Vivo" is a fun, technological exhibit which
should not be missed.
The second exhibit, titled "Nature Studies I," is the
first of a two-part series presenting painting and pho-
tography in the landscape genre. The current exhibit
features paintings by David Bierk. Michael De )ong.
Catherine Murphy, loan Nelson, Alexis Rochman. Rich
Shaefer and Brenda Zlamany.
Although presented under a common theme, the
works in this exhibit are dramatically diverse. From
the peaceful duskiness of Bierk's "A Eulogy to Earth'
series to the colorful fantasy of Rockman's underwa-
ter scenes, from the simple familiarity of Murphy's
streets, to the vivid detail and scientific feel of
Zlamany's animal studies, "Nature Studies I' dis-
plays the power, diversity and simple harmony of
nature.
The University Gallery « op*fi Tue- Fri. U am -
4:10 pm.. Sat. 2 00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. Closed Mon. "In
Vivo" and Nature Studies I will be on exhibit from
through October 20 Nature Studies II opens

UM Students show summer art work
Herter Qallery showcases exchange students pieces, worlcs
By Wiebke Schweer
Collegian Correspondent
'fllANCE '95'
Herler Gallery
Sept. 18 -Sept. 28
"I learned more about art history in
these six weeks in France than in four
years at school. It was great." said
lacelyn Faces, a University of
Massachusetts student, at the opening
of the new exhibition "France '95' in
Herter Gallery this past Monday.
Faces is one of 40 students who
presented the results of their work
within the University of
Massachusetts art summer program
at the Chateau de la Neopallia near
Cannes. The group was directed by
Professor Frank Ozerka and Susan
lahoda. professor of photography.
The UMass students lived, worked
and studied under the instructions of
Francine Ozereko. Gallery Director
Carol Struve. Stephen NiccoUs and
Robert Blake, in the old castle locat-
ed right on the coast of the
■ talk shows
Mediterranean.
The days started with a critic meet-
ing, where works and ideas where dis-
cussed, followed by independent stud-
ies. The art majors experimented with
paintings, drawings. J-D and 2-D
Design, sculptures and photography.
"Everybody worked for his own
level," said participant Susanne
Rodilosso.
Creative work filled the days but
there was also plenty of time to travel
and have fun. Students discovered
France by several trips all over the
south of France. The students were
given the opportunity to visit and
experience Avignon, the Matisse and
Chagall Museums in Nice and the
Picasso Museum in Antibes.
"At the beginning I painted what 1
saw," Rodilosso said, "but after visit-
ing the museums about Matisse and
Picasso, their style began to influence
my work."
The influence of the French envi-
ronment, the people, the architecture
as well as the works of famous artists
can be seen in all the works at the
exhibition.
Black and white photos of French
villages and people are shown next to
scenery from Provence and abstract
colorful paintings. Many handmade
books show photos of the castle and
the places the students travelled to.
Others give away some little secrets
like diaries or show private drawings.
Several videos made from and of the
young artists can be seen in the sec-
ond showroom.
At the opening. Struve explained
the meaning of some puppets, hang-
ing in the middle of the room.
"We all had to make a puppet of
one of the participants and play the-
ater with them on one of the last
evenings." she said.
The results of these exciting days
can be visited till September 28

insight, her thoughts, and whatever else comes along with
the package."
Walberg — not singer Marky Mark Wahlberg. but a J2-
year-old father of two who has been a member of the
singing group Young Americans, an ESPN host and a
warmup comedian — provides an appealing male focus,
Tartikoff said.
"Television has a lot of surrogate relationships."
Tartikoff said. "When they see Mark Walberg. they see the
guy next door .. and ask. "Why can't 1 have a guy like
that?' A shoulder to cry on. somebody to talk to. some-
body who's genuinely fun.
"He emotes on camera. He comes through that tube. He
has what I used to call 'the airport factor.' If you ran into
this guy in an airport and you'd seen him on TV. you'd go
up to him and say hi."
With the talent in place. Clark said, the producer has to
ask: "OK, then what segment of the market are we
assigned to? How do we harness this thing? And can we
do it with a reasonable amount of taste and still get an
audience?"
That task hasn't changed: the audience has. A decade
ago. the typical daytime viewer was an older woman with
deeply ingrained viewing habits. Tartikoff said. In the last
five years, she has grown much younger.
"There's a new generation locking into place." he said.
"The loyahy that the viewers have in daytime television is
less to the program and more to the content of the pro-
gram on a particular day."
The success of the younger-oriented "Rikki Lake" show
wasn't lost on talk show producers. "If you come out
with a different attitude, a different style of show and
sensibility ... you can just come in and suck ail the
younger viewership out of the older programs." TartikofI
said.
"It's really been the younger shows that have been the
growth properties, and all of the older programs for sever-
al years, have been showing the erosions." Tartikoff said.
In such a crowded field, there will be casualties. Clark
said.
"We all have pretty good distribution, with pretty big
companies and promotion behind us. I'm sure everybody
has a capable staff." Clark said.
"You don't want to root for anybody's lack of success.
but somebody will drop by the wayside and that'll make
life easier." he said.

moe will hit the Valley tonight with Chin Ho! an improv band with Phish like qualities.
moe & Ho! to take the Iron Horse
By Milce Burlce
Collcgion Staff
Remember hack a lew years ago
when the majority of people on this
campus still !>pelled Phish with an P?
Back then those lovable hippies
from Vermont could still be seen
in the comfort of your local water-
ing hall, jamming for hours on end
while you and your pals were sip-
ping some brew. Oh you weren't
there? Too bad. But now you can
be.
Wednesday night. The Iron
Horse will showcase two upcom-
ing bands who appear to be head-
ed for crunchy heaven.
Like so many of their neo-hip-
pics counterparts both moe and
Chin Ho'., mix jazz. rock. funk,
country and lots more to process a
sound that is often compared to
Frank Zappa and Phish.
Forever on tour, the Buffalo hand
has gained a loyal following over the
past three years. The Village Voice
even dubbed moe. 'among the best
of the third-generation stoner jam
bands." Their self released tapes,
only available at shows, have sold
very well and they have charted on
radio stations all over the country.
Amazing considering lack of sup-
port ftum any label.
Appearing along side moe will
be Chin Ho! a band in the same
shoes of Phish circa 1991. Hailing
from Burlington, they just released
their third full length on their own
label. Monastery Records. The
hype around them has been enor-
mous. One paper went as far to
ask. -Will Phishtory repeat itself?"
See for yourself.
moe and Chin Ho! will be
appearing at the Iron Horse Music
Hall tonight. The show starts at
8:}0 p.m and tickets are 56 avail-
able at the door or at the

in Thome's Market. 150 Main

'Law & Order' has staying power
Benjamin Bratt joins all star cast; show wasn*t expected to last
By FrazMf Moora
Auocioisd PrMS
NEW YORK — NBC has taken to hyping "Law &.
Order" as "the second-longest-running drama series on
network television." No one mentions it would have to
stay on the schedule through 2001 to match "Murder. She
Wroic's' tenure right now.
Still, this splendid cops-and-lawyers drama has earned
its share of bragging rights as it starts its sixth season
Wednesday at 10 p.m. EDT. And not just for hanging on,
or even for finessing its once-marginal ratings into a solid
viewership. What really sets "Law & Order" apart, after
five years and counting, is its brand of consistent excel-
lence.
Granted, consistency may seem an odd word to apply to
"Law & Order," at least from the standpoint of its revolv-
ing-door ensemble. Every spring since "Law & Order's"
First has marked the departure of at least one cast mem-
ber. Then each fall ushers in new blood.
This season, Benjamin Bratt bows as Detective
Reynaldo 'Rey* Curtis. He replaces Christopher Noth,
who. as Detective Mike Logan, had been the last of the
show's five charter members.

turnover? Doubtful. But "Law & Order" is all the more
remarkable in that, through all the comings and goings, it
has remained true to its original vision. Sample the
repeats aired at 1 1 p.m. EDT weeknights on cable's A&E
channel and you see: 'Law & Order," while evolving, is
rock solid.
Now welcome Bratt. JI. who starred on the series
"Nasty Boys" and in the mini-series "Texas" and appeared
in the Films "Clear and Present Danger" and "IX-molition
Man."
The character he brings with him, Rey Curtis, is •
young academy-trained detective whose conservative
views clash with his more freewheeling and streetwise
elder. Detective Lennie Briscoe, played by lerry Orbach.
Thus does life imitate art: Bratt steps in as new partner
for Orbach, whose first three years on the series were
spent side-by-tide with Noth. But while Lennie and Rey
will butt heads.
"lerry couldn't have been more gracious in bringing me
into the fold," Bsn said. "He made me feel completely
comfortable."
Not that Brait's initiation was completely stress-free.
"The very First scene we shot, I was visibly shaky." he
admits. "But when it was over. I bounded back to the
trailer, thinking. "Wow, I'm really doing this!' Everything
was Fine after that."
Bratt has stolen a moment to talk during a break from
filming on a Chelsea side street.
Adhering to the show's durable structure, this scene,
with a shoulder-mounted camera tracking Hriscoe and
Curtis as they step across a loading dock and into an
ofFice to ask a few questions, is part of the murder investi-
gation. As usual, it is under the supervision of l,t. Anita
Van Buren (played by S. Epatha Merkerson. beginning her
third season).
During the episode's second phase, the focus will shift
to the criminal courts as Assistant District Attorneys lack
McCoy (Sam Waierston. second season) and Claire
Kincaid dill hfennessy. third season) build their case with
the wjIm:, wiy input of their boss. District A'tumev Adam
^ 6|iiff i^lvpttlill. wha^ltKsi tke '"K» iti «sgod week).
Orbach. who jn his long career has starred on
Broadway, in films such as Dirty Dancing and Postcards
from the Edge and on TV's "The Law and Harry McGraw."
says he signed on for "Law & Order" hoping it would last
at least one more year. That was November 1992.
Now the man who became Chris Noih's third partner
carries on in the absence of Noth, in effect an aging Baby
Boomer who was traded in for Bratt, a Generation X-er.
Orbach says Noth is still a friend, but concedes that
"toward the end, both Briscoe and l^an were seeming a
little world-weary. With this (Briscoc-Curtis) generation
gap. it's a whole new deal."
But will 'Law & Order* fans stand for yet another
change?
"1 know Chris Noth was well-loved by audiences and
the show worked quite well with him," says Bratt. "But if
viewers give this new cast member a chance, as tht7 have

MBA seminar targets minorities
Free course will help graduate students with job placement
By Michelle Lugo
Gtllegion Staff
The Graduate Management Admissions Council
(GMAC) announced a free educational seminar for minor-
ity college and graduate students pursuing careers in
Business Administration. "Destination MBA" is geared to
African- American. Latino, and Native American MBA
prospects although the seminar is open to interested indi-
viduals.
The annual event which travels throughout 10 major
cities across the US. vwll arrive in Boston Sept. 50, from 9
a.m. to 12 p.m. According to the press release, the semi-
nar will take place at the Marriot Hotel Copley Place. No
advanced registration is required.
Destination MBA takes off with two panels. The Hrsi
will focus on the preparation for graduate school. The sec-
ond will offer information on career opportunities. There
will be presentations on how to tackle the General
Management Admissions Test (GM.AT).
The three hour event also in-ludes a question and
answer session where a panel of students and graduates
share their personal and work experiences. Financial aid
officers will be on hand to give advice on the entry
requirements and to answer questions relating the finance
of an MB.A education, in addition to business school
admission and placement representatives.
"Minority groups are underrepresenled in the profes-
sion of business administration. Multiculturalism, new
technologies, and globalization are transforming
American workplaces. A graduate degree in management
can give minorities access to the careers that are leading
this transformation,* said William lames. National
Director of the program.
Destination MBA began in 1986 as a recruitment
effort for minorities created by GMAC, the National
Black MBA Association. The National Society of
Hispanic MBAs was founded in 1988 and has since
joined the two organizations. They all sponsor this
non-profit seminar.
Destination MBA is in its lOth consecutive year, llw
first event this year was held in Atlanta. Georgia. There
are 12 events in total.
GMAC includes 115 business schools across the US
with international affiliations, such as universities in
London and Paris. They also sponsor the National Black
MBA Conference.
In an interview James said, "Come find out how you
can join the dynamic profession of management at a time
when the opportunities for African-American, Latino and
Native American managers have never been more promis-
ing."

Andy Pettitte won his fifth straight
start and the wild-card hopeful

of juan Guzman's wildness to beat
the Toronto Blue jays 5-3 Tuesday
night.
An announced crowd of only
15.772 saw the Yankees, despite
getting just three singles, keep the
pressure on Seattle. The Mariners

off spot.

Yale up next for field hockey
By Man Vautour
Collogian Stoff
The Massachusetts field hockey
(2-4) team vnll try to turn its sea-
son around this afternoon when it
takes on Yale in New Haven,
Conn, at 3:30 p.m.
The Eli's enter the game at a
deceiving 4-0. While they are
undefeated, the Yale win column
(Ursinus, Lehigh. Fairfield.
LaSalle) does not read like a who's
who of collegiate field hockey pow-
ers.
While Massachusetts is hoping
to use today's game as starting
blocks for the rest of its season.
Yale is hoping to use the game in
hopes of gaining resf>ect.
Because of the ineptitude of
Yale's schedule. Massachusetts
coach Megan Donnelly doesn't
know much about the Elis. but at
this stage of the season, she con-
'ends that the opponent is not
important, as she is more con-
cerned with the early season play
of her own leam.
"I don't know much about Yale.
I don't care who we play right
now,' she said. "We just need to
play a strong game, where 1 1 play-
ers fulfill their roles for 70 min-
utes."
The Elis are led by Lindsay
Hobbs, who has six goals and one
assist in the first four games,
including three game winners,
despite starting only two games.
Lesley Frieder has been a stalwart
in net giving up only two goals on

Senior Andrea Cabral and the UMass field hockey team travel down Route 91
today to take on the Elis of Yale.
the season.
Her counterpart for
Massachusetts. Stacy Walker, is
still suffering from her sprained
medial collateral ligament and
didn't practice yesterday. Walker is
expected to play, but Donnelly said
that she will be cautious with her.
"We can't take any chances with
her. We need her. "There are a lot
of games still to go." Donnelly said.
"She seems better. She's in a brace.
We'll just have to see how it goes
tomorrow."
As far as the rest of the lineup
goes. Donnelly is not pleased.
"I'm frustrated because we are
good. We need to wake up. We are
a good team. There is no reason for
us to feel otherwise,' Donnelly
said. "We need to show it For
what ever reason, we are
not executing in games,
the way we execute in
practice. I'm frustrated
because we could be
winning these games.
"We're playing tenta-
tively and there is no
reason to."
Despite the fact that
the Minutewomen start-
ed a young line-up.
Donnelly refuse to let
their age be a factor.
"We're young in age,
not in experience,"
Donnelly said. "That's
iK)t an excuse.'
What Donnelly does
point to is thai only cer-
tain players on her squad
are actually fulfilling
their roles.
"We're not communi-
cating well. We're not
moving well. We're not
anticipating well,' she
said. "We're just having
break downs. We're hav-
ing lapses. There are
about five players who
are fulfilling everyone of
their roles.'
In hopes of sparking
the squad, Donnelly will
shuffle the lineup but
would only comment
briefly.
'We are probably
going to change some
things," said Donnelly,
who has set goals for
tomorrow's game. "What
I want them to do is
have each individual
concentrate on their job
for 70 minutes, and have
each individual play uott^
some fire and deiermina-j
lion. If that happens, it!
will take care of itself.*

By Joy Womer
Collegian Correspondent

Vermont and Rhode Island over the

team continued its roll with an 8-1
victory over Hartford.
With the 3-0 start to the young
season, Minutewomen coach |udy
Dixon has nothing but positive
remarks about her squad.
"I am optimistic about our chances
this fall," Dixon said. "But the heart
of the season is yet to come."
The Minutewomen continued their
domination in both singles and dou-
bles, lead by the racquet of freshman
lackie Braunstein. In her second
straight match, Braunstein did not
lose a game at No. 4 singles 6-0. 6-0.
The victim this time being Hartford's
Julie Merill.
On top of her singles victory,
Braunstein, along with Noelle
Orsini, easily took care of Merill
and Missy Tuter in No. 3 doubles

"1 have gotten from lackie and
Marie-Christine (Caron) exactly what
I wanted. They have really picked up
our doubles game," Dixon said.
Caron teamed with Liz Durant to
take care of the No. 2 doubles match,
8-0. Durant was also victorious in
her No. 3 singles match, stumbling
slightly in the second set. before
rebounding to take the match. 6-4.
4-6.6-0.
Senior captain Liesel Sitton coniin
ued to provide lAdership as she won
at No. 1 singles, 6-2. 6-2 over Sarah
Diers. Sitton and Caroline Steele
combined at No. 1 doubles to defeat
UH's duo of Diers and |cn Benet.
8-3. Steele look the No. 5 singles in
convincing fashion, knocking off
Kolins 6-2. 6-2.
Lana Gordetskaya concluded the
singles matches with a dominant win
over Tuter in the No. 6 slot. 6-2.
6-0. (jordelskaya. along with Sitton.
Steele, Braunstein have yet to lose a
set in each of their first three matches
of the year.
The Minutewomen go on the road
today to visit Holy Cross, who Dixon
feels is a strong Division I squad.
With a tougher schedule ahead, the
women's tennis team feels that its
record speaks volumes about their
capabilities.

• last sea.son there were new rules
instituted to make NFl. games more
exciting, such as moving kickoffs
back to the 30 yard line and speeding
the game up.
It seems things have gotten more
exciting even more this season with
more of a parity around the league.
The best example of that is the
amount of overtime games this sea-
son. Already this season there have
been seven games that have gone to a
fifth quarter.
There would have been an eighth

This year their defense is tops in

UMass, UConn set to battle in Mullins
By Chris Sioimn
Collegian Staff
( fXlBTtSV kUDlA MlATiON^
Sophomore Lesley Nolan and her teammaies will hold the inaugural vol-
levhdll match In the Mullins Center tonight at 7 p.m. against UConn.
Tanighi the Connecticut's Huskies
volleyball team travels to Amherst for
their William D. Mullins Center
debut again.si Massachusetts.
At 7 p. in. the UMass women's vol-
leyball team squares off against its
lucal rival, the Lady Huskies in the
Reebok/UMass-UConn Challenge,
the first ever volleyball match to be
held in the Mullins Center since the
facility opened in February 1993.
This is an opportunity for the
University to prepare for the upcom-
ing NCAA Div I Women's Volleyball
Finals.
Coming off a strong second place
showing in the UMass Invitational
last weekend, coach Bonnie Kenny's
squad hopes to send the Huskies
back to Storrs with their tails
between their legs.
After losing to the University of
Michigan, the Minutewomen (6-4)
blanked Brown in three games. The
most exciting match of the tourna-
ment came when, after beating
Syracuse 15-9 and 15-6 in the first
two games. UMass found themselves
down 14-IU. What followed was an
out and out offensive battle led by
junior outside hitter Giza Rivera,
who led the team to a 17-15 win
in the third set.
This victory marked the 50th win
for Kenny in her third season at the
helm for the Minutewomen. With a
50-26 overall record (.658). it took
her a mere 76 matches to reach the
50 win mark, the fastest volleyball
coach to do so in schtx)l history. The
only other head coach to reach the 50
win plateau for UMass was Elaine
Sortino. who took 87 matches to earn
the distinction.
The Lady Huskies (5-5) are com-
ing off a strong showing in a tourna-
ment last weekend in College
Station. PA hosted by Penn State
University. After beating St.
Bonaventure 3-0 and Lehigh 3-1.
UConn fell three sets to none to the
host Nitanny Lions.
"They're coming off a couple good
wins and we're coming off that big
win against Syracuse last weekend.
There's definitely going to be a lot of
offensive control and tough defense.
Basically, they play a lot like us,"
Kenny said.
Kenny feels that the similarities in
playing style promise to make the
match a crowd pleaser. However, the
Minutewomen have a few things that
must be accomplished to ensure a
strong win.
"We have to dig the ball in tran-

sition and then kill the ball on the
counter attack. That is the biggest
thing for us tomorrow." Kenny
said.
In addition, UMass is faced with
two key injuries that throw a wrench
into their usual game plan. Rivera
and senior middle blocker Rachel
Sky and are both hampered with
injuries. Sky. a major force at the
net. is a major link in the squad's
defense.
Rivera, who will most likely sit
out of today's game with an injured
ankle, has been a team leader this
season. Last season's leader in kills.
Rivera was named to the all- tour-
nament teams of the
Hofstra/Spalding Invitational, the
UC Santa Barbara Classic and last
weekends Reebok/UMass
Invitational.
In last week's play. Rivera aver-
aged 6.29 kills per game with a .405
hitting percentage with a whopping
23 kills against Michigan and 21 kills
against Syracuse. The standout junior
leads the UMass squad with 152 kills.
an average of 4.9 kills per game and a
.314 hitting percentage.
"Everybody needs to step it up a
notch with Rachel Sky and Giza
Rivera injured." Kenny said. "Giza is
a very potent part of our offense, but
you can't ask just one person to fill
her place."
UMass will look to some of the
underclass players to help step it up
and win the match. Luckily for
Kenny, she has a handful of women
to look to.
Sophomore Michelle Paciorek has
been another force on the floor for
UMass
"Michelle is very capable of being
a force at the net. she just needs to
be a little more consistent." Kenny
said.
The middle blocker from
Sunderland was also named to the
Reebok/UMass Invitational
All-Tournament Team. Paciorek
totaled 15 kills for a .306 hitting
percentage, as well as six blocks for
the tournament In addition, she set

Sophomore outside hitter Lesley
Nolan has proved to be a strong
offensive asset for the
Minutewomen throughout the sea-
son so far.
"Lesley Nolan definitely has the
capability to be an impact player,"
Kenny said. "With Giza out, (he's
really going to have to put the ball
away.
"Since this is a 'dry run' for the

UMass swept a weekend tour of Ohio this past
weekend, taking Atlantic 10 Conference matches
at Xavier (3-2 in OT) and Dayton (2-0). The suc-
cessful irip came on the heels of a 3-1 thumping
of Siena last Tuesday night at Szot Park in
Chicopee
Sieflur play from a variety of unlikely sources has
fueled the Minutemcn during their recent run.

■ .iction today as they take on New Hampshire.
season. That stat becomes even more impressive
when you consider that Miller, a Longmeadow
native, had scored just two goals in his UMass
career prior to this year.
Scott Regina was rewarded for his goals against
Siena and Xavier by being named the A-lO's
Rookie of the Week. The freshman from
Bethlehem. Pa. now has three tallies, while playing
in five games this season.
Freshman Paul Corcoran has also made an
impact on the young season, starting all seven
games thus far. Corcoran has proven to be a versa-
tile player on both ends of the field. When deep in
the opposing end of the field. Corcoran's strong
throw-ins have proven to be valuable offensive
weapons.
Brad Kurowski, Marc Saad, fake Brudsky and
lonathan Hanna have all made considerable contri-
butions to the UMass side in their freshman sea-
-sons as well.
Senior goalkeeper Eric Gruber has clearly made
the most of his first season starting in goal for the
Minutemen. Gruber's shutc-jl of Dayton lowered
his goals against average to 1.06. He has stopped
50 of 38 shots en route to posting a 5-1-1 record
this year.
Dave Siljanovski has also had a fine season for
himself thus far. His team-leading six goals, six
assists and 18 points place him 13th, fourth, and
fourth in the nation respectively. With Karsten
Bremke out of the lineup for all but two games,
someone has had to pick up the scoring slack and
Siljanovski has done just that.
He has tallied a pair of game-winning goals this
season, including one in overtime against Xavier.
As a junior. Siljanovski is currently tied for sixth
place on the all-time UMass assist list and should
soon move into the top 10 for goals and points.
The Wildcats enter today's match after defeat-
ing Buffalo 4-0 and losing to Loyola 2-0 this
past weekend. Freshman midfielder Mike Keevan
leads UNH in scoring with four goals and two
assists, while playing in only four of the team's
six games.
Natick native Steve Baccari has posted modest
numbers in the Wildcat net this season. Baccari has
posted a 1 .87 goals- against-average and one
shutout, while playing all but 10 minutes this sea-
son.
A victory today would help the team as they gear
up for the Boston University Terriers, whom the
Minutemen will host on Saturday at Richard F.
Garber Field. BU finished 1994 at 19-0 and ranked
No. 1 in the nation, but was upset by Brown in the
second round of the NCAA's.
The Terriers are ranked second in New
England and are 2- 2-1, the sole losses coming
against Brown and defending national champion
Indiana.
When looking around the NFL,
surprises are found everywhere
Who would of thunk it?
You did not have to be Dionne
Warwick to predict that the Dallas
Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers and
Miami Dolphins would all be 3-0.
but the odds on the other two
teams with unblemished records
would have been extremely long.
Who would have thought the
Kansas City Chiefs with |oe
Montana retiring, an aging run-
ning back in
Marcus Allen
and a suspect
defense would
be perfect to this
point? They do
have some talent
and with the
exception of the
Raiders have played fairly weak
teams.
The biggest surprise in the
league so far is the St. Louis
Rams. This is a team last year that
only won four games and lost its
best receiver to free agency.
They have relocated, and hired a
new head coach. Also they dumped
young but unproductive quarter-
back Tommy Maddox from his
starting job and finally released him
and handed the spot to joumeyman
Chris Miller. Running back lerome
Bettis has come out with a
vengeance trying to up his value, as
he will be a free agent after the sea-
son, while a relative unknown
receiver in Issac Bruce has emerged
as a big time play maker.
They have also played two qual-
ity opponents. New Orleans is
always competitive and nearly
knocked off San Francisco in
week one, so they are no cream
puff. The Rams opened the season
in Title Town, where they handed
the Packers their cheesehats.
In the unpleasant surprise
department, bordering on depress-
ing, would be the Arizona
Cardinals, Detroit Lions and New
England Patriots.
Buddy Ball was supposed to
soar this year with his tailor- made
defense and a revitalized offense,
but neither have been prevalent.
Dave Kreig was even pulled
against the Eagles for Mike Buck
and the defense is 27th in the
league in terms of points scored.
Injuries have hindered Eric Swann
and his defensive mates but still
can play much better.
They were burned in week one
by gutty Gus Ferrotte and in week
two by Eagles
backup Rodney
Peete. The
Cards' would be
winless save for
the fact that...
The Lions are
floundering
under Wayne
Pontes at the helm. A year doesn't
go by without the press calling for
his head on a post, but every year
he returns. His problem is that he
depends on Barry Sanders too
much. It is time for a real quarter-
back to throw to Herman Moore,
and some defensive help for Chris
Spielman.
I realize the Patriots have been
opposed by three of the top five
teams in the league, but its how
they have fared in those games
that is disappointing.
On the one hand you have a
defense. There were many question
marks after losing Todd Collins
and Tim Goad while drafting three
secondary players. But every game
has seen the defense hold them in
the game to the fourth quarter,
including keeping the reigning
world champions scoreless until
the last possession of the first half.
The hard work put in on that
side of the ball gives $42 million
phenom Drew Bledsoe the chance
to lead them to victory. He did so
against the Browns in the season
opener, but since that winning
drive, the Pats have six points.
They are tied for last in points
scored with the New York Giants.

UMass professor helps
U.N. evaluate Iraq
By MoNtww Pollinger
Collegian Correspondent
Observations by a University of
Masvachusetts professDr on dismal
health conditions in Iraq may lead lo
renewed speculatitm on the efficiency
of United Nations sanctions in attain
\nf their intended goals in Iraq
Professor Peler Pellell. head of the
Department of Nutrition, recently
returned from leading a five week
United Nations mission to Iraq tu
assess the country's crop availability
and nutritional status.
Pellett. who last visited Iraq in
November of IWi. described condi
tions as having gone from bad lo
worse. The infant mortality rale in
Iraq has more than doubled since
l»WO
"We're seeing really severe malnu-
trition in the hospitals." he said. "50
kids per IIXK) live births are dying as
a direct result of sanctions " Pellell
went on to compare the nulrilional
status of Iraq to that of countries in
"sub Saharan Africa."
With the prices of many foods,
such as rice, inflated to approximate-
ly 5.000 limes what ihey were in
I 'WO. a ration issued by the govern-
ment to each ciii/en is what has pre-
vented famine The ration, which
consists only of flour, rice, sugar, lea
and oil was reduced in recent
months.
"At first (the ration) was about
ISOO calories." Pellell said. "Then in
November '44 it was reduced lo
about 1 100 calories."
Problems Beyond Food
•\> .1 result ol U.N sanctions on
Iraq, "the oil has stopped flowing."
Pellett said
"That means any foreign exchange
has slopped coming in." he added
Problems caused by m-vcic irilla
lion in Iraq are compounded by the
country's inabjliiy lo import other
goods banned under the U.N sanc-
tions.
According to Pellett. many chemi
cal fertilizers and spare parts, banned
for their potential uses in biological
and other weapons, are needed for
agricultural purposes
"I Iraq I tries lo grow more fiH>d.
but it can't get irrigation pump spare
parts." he said "You can't spray your
crops because you need permission lo
have aircraft for spraying."
According lo Pellell, cases of
typhoid fever, cholera and infivlious
hepatitis have also increased as a
result of 'fliwling pools of sewage in
the streets because of ihe lack of
spare parts for pumping equipment."
In comparison with his lust trip to
Iraq. Pellell was struck by how wide-
spread the suffering was,

Sophomore Alan Steward places his vote with SGA member Dan Larson yesterday at Worcester Dining Commmons.
By Chris Conner
Collegian Staff
Starting at II a.m. yesterday. University of
Massachusetts Student Government Association
officials sat at the polls to receive votes for their
soon-to-be newly elected political peers.
According to those SGA officials, the electoral
races this year have been particularly competitive,
as many dormitories have more than two House
Council or Senate prospects running for these
respective positions.
SGA president Christine Lopes said the new-
found interest in campus politics might be attrib-
uted to a few different factors.
"I think there are a lot of younger students inter-
ested in changing things on campus." she said
"There are more freshmen and sophomores trying
to get involved."
Last month's Student Leadership Conference,
which featured a good amount of SGA involve-
ment, may have also been a drawing point for can-
didates. Lopes said.
"I think people saw SGA in a different light after
the conference." she said.
Representing the campus
Although L<.>pes said there was a rise in the num-
ber of students who wished to be involved in
University politics, there are also several students
who remain relatively uninformed of the ongoings
of the SGA
"I've always thought SGA elections were under-
publicized." senior history major Peter Nersisian
said. "Kxcept for the candidates who plaster stuff
everywhere, ^'ou never gel a sense of who you're
voting for."
Nersisian said he had taken upon himself to
attend some SGA meetings during his time at the
University and offered a critique of the experience.
"I think SGA needs to get involved more directly
with the student body," he said "It seemed like it
was run by certain people's agendas. They need to
more broadly represent students."
In accordance with student demands, many of
those running for senatorial positions have slated
in their platforms that student awareness is a prior-
ity for the upcoming year.
Ashavan Doyon. who serves as the Pi)litical
Chair of Ihe Lesbian. Gav and Bisexual Alliance
(LBGA). and aspires to become the new Northeast
Area -at-large senator, said one of his primary
goals is to make the SGA somewhat less of an enig-
ma lo the campus community.

dents.
"We're a non-political branch of the gov-
ernment that has a judicial responsibility,'
Lang said, "If the senate were to enact a
by-law that was viewed to be possibly uncon-
stitutional, someone could challenge it and we
would decide if it was constitutional or not,'

University offers course
on mental retardation
By Dorcie Dwtnigon
Coljagion CorretpondanI
Representatives from UMass and
the stales Department of Mental
Retardation (DMR) sealed an agree-
ment marking a new partnership
between the two on Tuesday at
University of Massachusetts President
Sherry H Penney 's office m Boston,
Immediate effects of the agreement
are already being seen in the UMass
Department of Psychology, This fall.
Michael Kendrick. assistant DMR
commissioner, is teaching an under
graduate course called "Current
Issues in Mental Retardation,"
The course focuses on the history
of treatment and misirealmenl of
mentally disabled childR'n and adults
in our society and integrating their
present experiences within family,
work and school
Guest speakers covering human
and civil rights topics are also part of
the curriculum, reflecting Kendrick's
hopes of incorporating practical
involvement as well as research.
According to Kendrick. although
the course is limited in Psychology
majors this semester there is talk of
offering it in the spring to a broader
range of people.
I'ollowing the example si-i by simi-
lar programs implemented on Ihe
Boston. Worcester and Lowell cam
puses, the Amherst program has the
potential to expand in many direc
lions
Melinda Novak, chair of Ihe psy-
chology department, greeted the part-
nership as "a wonderful oppMrlunily
for the Univeisiiy and DMR to trade
expertise " She said she predicts many
more courses for both undorgraduiile'
and graduates taught bv ihe DMR

Collegian Stoff
Sidney Simon, professor emeritus
of education al the University of
Massachusetts, and his son. lohn. a
UMass graduate, appeared on The
Donahue Show on Sept. 15 to talk
about father-son relationships.
The Simons, both professional
counselors, were invited because ihey
conduct workshops around the coun-
try and in Canada. Mexico and
Europe, teaching about the
father -son relationship.
On Donahue, the Simons talked
about the "unasked questions that
fathers and sons have." questions
pertaining to feelings. Sidney Simon's
examples included, "what did you
feel when you learned you had a son.
when your father died, when you lost
your job."
"Until ihey ask these questions."
said Sidney Simon, "they never know
each other."
An internationally known scholar
in the field of psychological educa-
tion. Sidney Simon taught al UMass
for 20 years, specializing in "values
clarification, which helps people find
out what they really... want." he
said.

to he macho, their need to cover up
their feelings, their inability lo
express their feelings." he said.
Sidney Simon is the author of twelve
books, including "Helping Your Child
Find Values to Live By." "Getting
Unstuck" and "Negative Criticism."
"I think negative criticism is the
most destructive thing that happens
between fathers and sons." Simon
said. "Self- esteem is so lied to
believing you are a good person."
Simon's latest bcwk. "Forgiveness:
How to Make Peace With Your Past
and Gel On With Your Life." was
CO- authored wHth his wife. Suzanne

"A lot of students don't know who we are." said Doyon,
a sophomore Soviet/East European Studies major. "It
doesn't do loo much good to elect someone if don't know
who they are or how to get in touch with them."
Student concerns
To pique interest, the SGA has made it a point to try to
expand their goals for the year, according to Lopes.
Among the topics cited by Lopes as being utmost in
importance were the revamping of Food Services and the
creation of a Course and Teacher Evaluation (CATE)
booklet that would aid students in their class selection.
Voters also had certain specific expectations for the
association for the 1995-96 period at UMass. some of
those jibing with the SGA plans.
"(Evaluation) forms need to be revised because half the
time they don't apply," said sophomor* sociology major
Kristy Manin. "And Food Services always needs improve-
ment.'
Yet. some students tried to remain realistic about the
ambitions of the new SGA.
"They can only do so much." said first-year political sci-
ence student Eric Vroom.

■ Judiciary
conttrKjed from pxige I
The judiciary may discern the constitutionality of
any act by any agent of the SGA. by any agency
directly associated with the SGA or by any candi-
date for SGA office.
The constitution further states that the judiciary
branch has jurisdiction over "any controversy aris-
ing under the SGA Constitution, the By-laws of the
SGA or any act of the SGA."
Lang stresses the point that the constitution pro-
vides that any person, not limited to students, may
request a hearing by filing a petition for a ruling
directly with the judiciary.
"We're here for not just SGA. but for all students
who have concerns in that arena." Lang said.
"At»ybody can file a petition or hearing. RSO's or
area governments... they don't have to be members
of the SGA to file complaints."
Lang's office also offers files of past judiciary rul-
ings for any students interested in reviewing them.
"The main point that I want to make is that this is
open to students who deal with student organiza-
tions, whether it be RSOs. governments or house
councils, senators," Lang said. "If they're unsure
whether (their complaint] falls under our jurisdic-
tion, come and ask. We're accessible."
Lang wants to put the word out about the judicia-
ry services.
"This isn't just for the benefit of the SGA to keep
it running, it's for the benefit of all students." said
Lang. "We're a branch of the government, but
nobody knows about it."

School board tays yes to homo-
phobia
In a 5-2 decision Aug. 14. the
Merrimack N.H. school board
voted to "ban teachers and coun-
selors from presenting homosexu-
ality in a positive light." The new
rule will effectively prohibit the
discussion or distribution of any-
thing — movies, books, pamphlets
— that deals with homosexuality
in anything other than a negative
manner.
Counselors dealing with gay.
lesbian and bisexual students,
even those contemplating suicide,
will not be allowed to present
homosexuality as a viable option
or refer students to agencies
where they may seek help.
According to the Cay and
Lesbian Alliance Against
Defamation, rulings like the one
in Merrimack are becoming
increasingly common. As more
and more scholars unearth evi-
dence that homosexuality is no
worse than heterosexuality. "the
intellectual grounds for demoniz-
ing queers is eroding." so homo-
phobic school board members are
turning lo censorship.
No kissing in Hollywood
Even in today's Hollywood,
some actors still have a problem
playing gay roles, particularly ones
that involve on- screen kissing
That's what Paul Rudnick found
out when he worked on the film
adaptation of his hit play Jeffrey, a
comedy about a gay man who's so
afraid of AIDS he gives up sex.
"Actors prefer to play noble gay
victims, i.e. men who battle dis-
ease and prejudice, but don't
kiss." Rudnick wrote in a recent
article for Parade. "If there's a
same-sex on- screen kiss... |it|
should resemble a neurotic vam-
Dire's first self-loathing chomp."
Having written a screenplay
where same-sex kisses are "fre-
quent, deep-throated and often
public and sunlit." Rudnick found
himself running into agent after
agent claiming that his script
"didn't speak to their clients."
Rudnick considers this hesi-
1 . J be somewhat of a loss.
"Movie actors are the planet's
sex education instructors. They
show us how to do it right... a
kiss is just a kiss, but a movie kiss
can be a banner."
Mickey Mouse meets RuPaul?
When people talk about the
Disney Corporation's buyout of
the ABC network, they joke about
Mickey Mouse taking over as
news anchor, but there may be an
even more interesting possibility
in the works: RuPaul in control
with his/her own talk show.
According to Variety, the show
would be produced by Buena
Vista Television, an arm of the
gigantic Disney octopus. The love-
ly drag queen, known for his
singing ("Supermodel") as much
as his style, may end up on the air-
waves in a time slot just after
"Nightline."
Buena Vista declined to com-
ment on the report. k
By ihe numbers:
• In a study of
practioner-patieni relationships
published in Image journal of
Nursing and Scholarship. 77 per-
cent of lesbians rixounied nega-
tive experiences with their health
care providers. Many lesbians and
bisexual women report that doc-
tors, especially gynecologists, are
not sensitive to their sexual orien-
tation.
• Lesbians are three times more
likely to develop breast cancer
than their heterosexual counter-
parts. This increased risk may
come in part because lesbians are
less likely to have children and/or
breastfeed.
• According to The Sew llite
Report. 87 percent of women say
their deepest emotional relation-
ship is with a woman friend.
• An analysis of U.S. Census
figures shows that, in 1491. a
mere six percent of U.S. house-
holds fit the stereotype of
employed father, stay-at-home
mother. aiKl 2.5 children.

Quebec desires
freedom from
Canadian life
By David Crory
Associated Preu
TORONTO — After Quebec's pre-
mier argued that only independence
can save it from Canada's "ruinous
impasse," the French-speaking
province's lawmakers voted
Wednesday to hold a referendum
Oct. 50 on breaking away.
"The Canadian impasse hits
Quebeckers' dignity and their wal-
let." Premier (acques Parizeau. leader
of the separatist Parti Quebecois,
said in Quebec City.
The leader of Quebec's anti-sepa-
ratist forces. Daniel lohnson of the
Liberal Party, pleaded for caution,
warning that independence could
devastate Quebec economically.
A "Yes" vote "will be irreversible,
its consequences — economically and
socially — would be irreparable."
lohnson said after 55 hours of debate
on the referendum. "It is founded on
an illusion, on an unworkable part-
nership."
The Liberal Party has put
Parizeau's government on the defen-
sive this week with accusations that it
is hiding studies that don't support
arguments in favor of independence.
CRC meeting focusses on liberty
Quest speaker expresses discontent with war on drugs
By Phil Milson
Collegion Correspondent
The Cannabis Reform Coalition (CRC) addressed a
crowd of approximately 75 people ai the Campus
Center Auditorium on Tuesday night.
CRC Vice President Brian lulin opened by asking the
on- lookers where they would like
lo be 10 years from now and
whether or iwt they woukl be active
in the Tight to legalize marijuana.
Fear was. in his estimation, the
prime obstacle to overcome in
gaining active membership and
preserving the fighting spirit of
today's activists.
"People are afraid to become
active because of what a prospec-
tive employer, professor, or (teach-
ing assistant] might think." lulin
said.
He acknowledged un numerous
(Kcasions that the movement to
reform marijuana laws goes heavily against the beliefs
of the mainstream of society.
Nevertheless, lulin stated his belief that if enough
CRC members t>ecame active, even on a minimal basis.
"Pot would be defacto legalized in this area within
one and a half years." he said.
Guest speaker Dick Evans, board member of The
National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana
"The war is not about
drug abuse. . . it s about
control over your body,
job, property and
mind. . . our inalienable
rights of liberty and the
pursuit of happiness are
under savage assault. "
Laws (NORML). took the podium next.
He began his speech by a-miniscing about his experi-
ences here at UMass in the early 1970's. He cited the
greatest difference between then and now as the
degree of activism present on campus.
Evans focused most heavily on citizens' rights and
how police officers have violated them. He blamed
America's excessive prison over-
crowding on the government's
misguided pursuit of law enforce-
ment.
"The drug war is being paid for
out of the pockets of its victims."
Evans said.
In addition, he compared pre-
sent day drug-free contract claus-
es on job applications to contracts
assuring non- membership to the
communist party during
McCanhyism.
After a candid segment on
"hemp," Evans explained his posi-
tion n-garding drug abuse and why
he believed ft to be a manufactured term.
"The war is not about drug abuse," he said. "It's
about control over your body, job, property and
mind... our inalienable rights of liberty and the pursuit
of happiness arc under savage assault*
Evans then concluded his speech to the crowd com-
prised mostly of CRC members.
"The future of freedom is truly at stake," he said.
Iraq
course
continued trom page I
from the poor." he said. "You've got
a whole section — 70 percent — of
the population that is on the edge of
being destitute."
The remaining 50 percent of the
population — a combination of small
farmers, smugglers and the ruling
military-elite — remains relatively
unaffected by the sanctions, accord-
ing to Pellett.
Recent accounts by Saddam
Hussein's brothers-in-law. who
defected to Jordan last month, sug-
gest that his family and supporters
have in fact profited off of the busi-
ness and smuggling opportunities cre-
ated by the sanctions.
Security Council at Odds
The United States, widely regarded
as the leading sponsor of sanctions
on Iraq, has increasingly come under
pressure from other Security Council
members lo relax or even lifi sanc-
tions. Russia and France have both
argued that Iraq has neariy fulfilled
all of the lenns laid down when sanc-
tions were imposed five years ago.
However, the terms of the sanc-
tions have been subject to debate.
Iraq argues that by having withdrawn
from anA having recognized Kuwait,
and by having allowed its capability
for weapons of mass destruction to
be inspected and dismantled, it has
met all the terms stipulated in the
original U.N. resolution.
The United States has since added
both ihe downfall of Saddam's
regime and guarantees as to Iraq's
future intentions regarding weapons
programs to the list of prerequisites
for lifting sanctions.
"The basic goal of the sanctions is
lo prevent Iraq from being able to be
as big a threat to its neighbors as it
was in 1990," said M.|. Peterson.
Associate Professor of Political
SciciKC at the University. "If the Iraqi
government gets a hold of {financial
res«.)urces| they will do a variety of
things: they will rebuild their mili-
tary... they will continue their
attempts to go nuclear. . and they will
rebuild iheir capacity lo he a major
nuisance to everyone in the region."
In terms of removing Saddaan from
po\wer. Petict sees liitle prospect for
the sanctions achieving this end.
"The U.S. and ever\body expected
them to collapse in a year or so. but
they're very organized people, the
Iraqis; and they're just going lo stand
up as long as they can. They lot)k at
the U.S. as a bully." he said.
Although President Clinton
exprc.ised his wish lo "depersonalize"
the U.S. /-Iraq conflict soon after tak
ing office, he has shown little inclina-
tion towards easing the terms which
seem increasingly unlikely to be met
as long as Saddam is still in power.
Iraq has systematically rejected
three U.N. resolutions which would
provide for the limited sale of oil in
order lo buy food and other humani-
tarian goods, claiming that the
increase in U.N supervision iKces.sary
lo carry out the resolutions would be
an intringemeni on Iraqi sovereignty.
Faced with relinquishing power
and making reparations lo Kuwait.
Saddam is given little incentive to
uimply with current U.S. demands.
Al the aame time, with Iraqi natioiul
ism on the rise, he has little incentive
to stop mislKalinf his own people.
Instead, the regime seems content
to wait for fissures in the Security
Council's resolve to expand and lead
to a complete lift on sanctions.
Both Professors Pellett and
Peterson agree on one point — as
king as Iraq is kept bankrupt, it can-
not be a threat to the region, but
rather al the expense of killing its
people.
"The sanctions are a blunt
weapon." Peterson said. "You're try
ing to influence the government, but
its the population at large that feels
the effects."
Peterson was skeptical, however,
as to an effective alternative.
"Their is no way to neatly separate
the people and ihe government (from
the effects of general sanctions].' he
said.
Pellett hopes that a possible inter-
vention by the Food and Agiicultural
Organization will help alleviate the
population's burden.
"You've got an absolutely mad sit-
uation," he said. "A U.N. created cri-
sis which the U.N. is trying to allevi-
atc-
contlnued from page 1
"This course is just the first step.
We'd like to eventually hold on-<am-
pus forums and conferences." said
Gerald Ryan. Director of
Communications at DMR.
Kendrick acknowledges the small
beginning of the partnership, but is
optimistic, noting its conceivably
great future. "Depending on the slant
one takes on the issues of mental
retardation, classes could easily open
up in areas like education, public
health, political science, sociology
and even pre-med."
Why is there a need to expand the
courses of study at UMass to include
mental retardation?
"From whatever field you're com-
ing from," said Ryan, 'psychology,
education and others, you're bound
to be confronted by mental retarda-
tion issues."
The main dilemma, according to
Ryan, stems from the fact that there
are no specific scholastic concentra-
tions on mental retardation.
Frequently, there are only a few class-
es to be found within a large psychol-
ogy department.
Presently, the only pre-requisites
to work with mentally disabled peo-
ple are a high school diploma, and in
some cases, completion of a
three-week training program.
Ryan said he hopes that the DMR's
involvement with the University
"could maybe lead to a two-year col-
lege degree or some type of as.sociate's
program... at the very least to have
students not be fed with stereotypes or
be limited to book learning (about
mentally disabled people]".
Also, by improving the accessibili-
ty of disability education and by mak-
ing courses more relevant to current
issues. Kendrick said he hopes stu-
dents "will be interested in the things
that we're interested in — maybe
they'll be encouraged to take part in
the work-force that is up-to-date on
the issues we have lo deal with here
in Massachusetts."
UMass alumni account for many of
the current leaders in the field of men-
tal retardation, including deputy DMR
commissioner Gerald Morrissey.
DMR commissioner Philip Campbell
and DMR regional director of western
Massachusetts Steven Bradley.
"The more society interacts with
developmental disabilities, the more
everyone will be able to understand
and help the people with these dis-
abilities." said Ryan.

taxes
Imagine if the state could not only tax Harvard, but the
various other private universities and colleges through out
the CoHimotMrealth Tliink of all the money sitting in the
treasuries of Amherst College. Brandeis University,
. Boston University. Tufts University —
the list could easily go on.
If the state were able to realize
such a dream, there would be more
then enough money to cover most of
the budget of the whole education
system from kindergarten through
graduate school.
The state could be justified in an
attempt to tax the well- endowed col
leges. The sheer fact that universities
can take part in for profit ventures
with companies is enough justifica-
tion. An excellent example is Boston
University's ownership of WABU-TV.
Boston's channel 68 which, at one
point, was NBC's secondary affiliate.
The advantage of taxing private
universities is they cannot move their
operations to another state or abroad
like a company. The costs of attempt-
ing a move for most of the universi-
ties would probably cost more than
years of taxes. Besides very few col-
leges ever move.
The state could leave the less
wealthy schools alone such as
Hampshire College which lacks an
excessively large endowment. The
state would also be unable to tax the
Catholic schools and the other reli-
gious institutions of higher learning
because they would remain protected
as non-profit, as most religious insti-
tutions are.
The belief that private institutions
of higher learning are non-profit are
old and archaic, so is the thought that they can not be
taxed. It is lime for change, so the poor and middle class
can receive the same education as the rich.

Learning romance from trash
I am not a romantic person. In fact. I think romance,
although a nice concept, isn't very realistic or
long- lasting and is Heeling at best and lepid at most.
To me. a romantic gesture is something that should be-
looked upon v»rith suspicion and doubt I was once given a
bouquet of fiowers a scant 24 hours afier meeting a man
and the first thought that pt)pped into mv head was. "Why
me?" and "What does he want?"
And it isn't because I had some god-awful break-up or
got my heart trounced upon afitT a lengthy tryst Maybe it
has a lot to do with my confidence level or self-esteem or
overly cynical and sarcastic nature, but I don't think so
because I have a confession to make: I adore romance
novels.
Yeah, romance novels, the kind with the cheesy, glossy
cover with some titan-haired vixen — bosom heaving,
dress artistically-torn, clutching a muscular
hero (usually Fabio) with rippling biceps
and that dashing "you call this a hurricane"
look as he manfully grasps a mast while a
storm rages on in the background.
It all began in the sixth grade when mv
then-best friend Alicia stole a copy of her ,^4om's btest
lohanna Lindsey novel Thinking we were doing some
thing elicit and "wrong" (I was raised an Irish Catholic),
we gleefully read via flashlight the whole novel giggling,
whispering and generally wondering what ihe phrase
"world turned crimson and gold as she thrashed in ecsta
sy" meant.
Needless to say I was hiK>ked and sin.n I had accumu
lated quite a few novels of my own hidden beneath my
mattress. Soon the collection moved to my shelf behind
the ludy Blume btwks and finally to the front — an act of
vengeance by my brother.
So. what could I possibly get out of them? And why did
I keep reading them'' To be honest, it was like a drug and
a means of escape from my boring life.
Oh. I didn't pretend to be the heroine. I didn't sympa-
thize or relate to her. In fact. I scoffed, moaned and berat
ed her for every stupid girlish act of weakness and rescue

attempt she inevitably needed.
But I also became selective and jaded Id only read
about women who made men chase them, who could
shoot a gun. wield a sword or ride a horse.
I became drawn to the heroine who could play cards,
raid ships and basically give as good as she gut
Unbeknownst to ine I found il interesting that these
women of pv)wer and strength could be both hard and
commanding but still retain some sort of femininity.
I can see all the feminists warming up there typewriter
to slam me, but afier a while I wondered what was so
wrong with a woman needing a man'.' What was so wrong
with wanting to be held and being appreciated because
you WkA giKid. In what way did that make a woman less
of a wiHuan?
And yes. I even learm-d from these "stupid little bits ol
trash." For a while. I was drawn to I7ih
century historical romances and suddenlv
realized while sitting in European History
thai I already knew about the feudal sys
tem. arranged marriages and the Knglish
court because of that "trash." I would
know stupid little facts, like how a hunt is organized and
vvhai a bailiwick was. all thanks to Amanda Quick, lulie
GarwiKxl and ludith MacNaughl.
No. I wasn't one of lhi>se women who wished to meet
the dark handsome stranger or the brooding earl or the
reluctant bachelor. I know the difference between realilv
and (antasv In fact, I think I have a better grasp in what
the ideal guy is and what the ideal guy is not.
I even learned to tolerate romance. I realized it was a
necessary part of life, of courting, of love. And maybe I'll
never teel comfortable with it or use il in any shape wav
or form but I'm aware of it and maybe deep down inside
I secretly long for it. .Maybe.
Oh. and the guy with the flowers? It turns out he
thought I was the most interesting and practical person
he d ever met and wondered if I would like to have dinner
later that week... wow, isn't that romantic.

Tuesday was my 22nd birth

old. I knew I was starting to
get old when I was in my
Astronomy 100 class. There are
about 100 students and they're all
first-years. A friend of mine is also
in the class. I got their early and
mentioned to her. "these kids com-
ing in are so young. These
first-years are all baby-faced and
look like my brother — wait a
minute, my brother is a first-year
this semester." What a realization.

Questioning freedom in America
American freedom is a fallacy II is a lack Kerouac
dream and Fasy Rider nightmare. Individual liberty
has been thwarted by a conservative web. the pow-
ers that be have spun around jaded,
confused Americans. ^^^^^—^^^
Society seems to be in a constant
stale of flux between decadence and
conservatism. The ■60s brought rev-
olution, leaving the hangover of the
■70s. The conservative '80s left us in
our strange post-modem hangover.
Decadence brought down Rome and
conservatism brought down the
communist countries, so it is up to
the individual to keep our leaders
from pulling us too far in either
direction.
Today we seem to be moving in a
conservative, or more precisely,
restrictive direction. America is no
longer the wild land of freedom it was
100 years ago. Today our pi>liticians
devise ways to expunge our personal
liberties, like moving toward the
criminalization of tobacco, rather than deal with inipor
tant issues like health care and the national debt. They'd
rather stick their heads in the sand and blindly point fin-
gers, then stand up and take on the problems threatening
our future.
Personally. I'm tired of having my personal liberty's
infringed upon. In the past two years I have been arrested
twice over ridiculous things: once, here on campus, for
possession of alcohol (a case of beer!), and recently in
New York City's Washington Square Park for smoking a
joint. Actually it was a roach when ihey cuffed me and

Shaking hands with the unemployed
I love to masturbate. I first learned
to "stroke my monkey" in the
sixth grade. Ever since then. I
have been in my glory.
Unfortunately, many of you have
already judged me for something that
is so natural, quite rewarding and
something you probably have all
done.
Masturbation is a gift and we
should all lake advantage of it.
I remember in high school, all
my friends would blush at the
slightest comment dealing with
masturbation. Probably many of
them were embarrassed to admit
that they enjoy the act of sex.
Especially with all those confusing
questions that evolve around sexu-
ality.
In today's society, masturbation
has become stigmatized and
thought as a bad intention. The for-
mer Surgeon General, ioycelin
Elders, was fired because she pro-
moted safe ways of masturbation.
She was probably doing our society
a favor by teaching us about
human sexuality.
In a world of teenage pregnancy.
AIDS, sexually- transmitted dis-
ease, we need to protect ourselves.
Abstinence is full-proof, but mas-
turbation with yourself is safe and
in my opinion, better. Ioycelin was
the only one who had the "balls" to
admit that most men and women
start masturbating and exploring

their bodies at a young age.
Masturbation doesn't necessari-
ly mean orgasm. I learned that in
my peer health class. Elders
understood what it is to be
human, that we have needs and
sexual drives.
Did we forget that we are
humans, we arc animals and we
like sexual pleasure? Furthermore,
when I was an adolescent. I fell so
guilty every lime I ran into the
bathroom, locked the door and
leaned over the toilet to ejaculate
(since then I've learned better ways
to masturbate.)
However, I shouldn't feel guilty.
Instead, I should feel good about
myself and realize that I'm com-
fortable with my own body. Then
in the future, if I decide to become
Intimate with another persc)n. I
will know my own bcxiy and what
will work. And hopefully
vise-versa.

younger. I feared that my palms
would grow thick, black hair on
them from the result of masturba-
tion. I have realized now after
thousands of times of "jerking off
this was a false rumor and I am
freed of humiliation.
My intention is not lo promote
masturbation, that is your choice. My
message is that if you are doing it...
keep plugging away. If your not. your

Mark's death just doesn't feel real, though.
The last time I saw him war. al the Campus

holding a picture of the Cystine Chapel, with
Adam's finger reaching for Ckxl's. As I bought il, he
said, "I'll see you."
I keep annembering the way he held Martin's new
bom child, his thin fingers wrapped around the baby's
head and his eyes open wide with awe and fear.
"Wow." he said. "Am I doing this right?"
"When I saw him lying there on the deathbed. I
thought it was OK. because he would rise again in

He was a tall, dignified-looking man. but he

Martin confessed, "the rest of my life, I'll never be

And he wouldn't have been too busy.

The 90's feminist;
a new definition
Bra burning feminists in the "60s, reproductive free-
dom fighters in the 70s, supermoms in the '80s,
what is the all encompassing word that society has
chosen for feminists in the '*H)>.'
I'here isn't one. Ttxlay a feminist can be anybody walk-
ing down the street You can't tell by liKiking al soniooiie
what his or her personal views are Oh. don't worry, the
stereotypical feminist still exists, but the definition, if not
the perception, ol a feminist has changed.
In previous years, feminists were viewed as loud,
adamant, man haling, political whiners who wanted lo
achieve female superiority, not equality with men.
This perception of feminists evolved from the fact
that people began lo express their anger about how
women have been treated in the past People's anger and
their desire to change the
way women were treated in
society was not understiHid
and therefore feminists
were given a negative
stereotype.
Since the l'J60s. the Feminist Movement has gone
through many changes Before the I'JWs, feminists had
one goal, to gain the nghls that men had This translated
into doing everything possible to get w\imen into the
workforce, not as an exception, but as a rule
Rebecca Walker spoke about the mw s Third Wave of
Feminism here at UMass last semester. As I sat in the
audience listening to her speak. I felt surprised because
the views she expressed in her speech resembled the views
I hold as a young feminist tciday
Women in the '40s can be whatever ihey want II a
woman chooses lo marry, have many children and not gel
a job outside the home, she should not be criticized as
being a trader to the Feminist Movement.
For me. feminism is about standing up for the things
you believe in. It is all about choice and being able to go
as far as you want to go on the path you choose.
The Feminist Movement has broken down some of the
barriers that have kept women from choosing their own
path
In the 1800. and early IWOs women were discouraged
from pursuing a higher education Before l*J20. women
were not allowed lo vole. It was almost unheard of to have
a woman in a supervisory position before mso. In all of
these examples, women were not given a choice. They
were told by society what lo do
The Feminist Movc-ment of the '"lOs has grown and has
more than one goal Because women are a heterogeiHiHis
group, the movement has to have enough rcxim in it to
accept and further everyone's personal beliel ol what a
woman can become Not every woman wants the same
thing in life
Any person can be a feminist You don't have lo be
involved in every political issue involving women lo call
yourself a feminist. Stand up for what you believe in;
destroy the obstacles that stand in your or anyone elsc-'s
way that you believe are wrong and you can call yourself a
feminist.

Letters to the Editor
Abolishing
affinnative action
To the Editor:
David K Chan's editorial in the
Back to School issue is indeed a con-
vincing attack on the many disadvan-
tages of affirmative action, but I
write this rebuttal mainly on his sure-
ness that affirmative action can and
should be revised.
Mr. Chan ctmcludes his essay by
saying that "quality programs...
should be made available and accessi-
ble to disadvantaged children of all
backgrounds," yet stales that ability,
not race or gender, should be the
deciding factor in getting hired by
top employers and being admitted
into prestigious colleges.
The United States cannot have
affirmative action and believe that all
needy people will be treated equally
regardless of color; they would be
destroying the purpose.
I think many would agree that the
intent of affirmative action is to make
up for past discrimination. However,
the part I despise the most about
affinnative action is the punishment
that is included which not only hurls
the descendants of such facilitators of
atrocities, which are predominantly
while, but also closes the door on
people of backgrounds who are
under the stereotype of over-
achievement, such as Asians.
Mr Chan neglects lo discuss how
such injustice will still exist under
some "mended" form of preferences.
It is my conclusion that affirmative
action must he abolished. If Congress
can eliminate all the bureaucracy
involved with extending and running
affirmative action offices, then we
Americans are better apt lo prepare
disadvantaged persons "of all back-
grounds" for better quality education
via block grants lo Ihe stale legisla-
tures that facilitate our schools.

American beliefs, but in this country
it's supposed to he OK to be believe
what you want to The Federal
Government that's supposed to pro-
tect our right to freedom shot down a
child and a mother with a baby in her
arms for no good reason. Your use of
the words "accidental shot)ting" show
me how tainted you arc in this issue.
Randy Weaver's gun arsenal didn't
amount to squat compared with what
most drug dealers on city streets walk
around with daily Why must the
media always attack any gun owner
as a crazed. Nazi type person?
The unfortunate truth is that the
paranoid ranting of the liberal media
have the heads of the FBI and ATF
so trigger-happy that they're up to
using a small size military force to
capture one family out in the Idaho
wixxis.
Put any red blooded American
against a hostile group threatening
iheir family and I bet they would
fight with any means available to
them.
As a Federal taxpayer. I think we
do owe Mr. Weaver some kind of set-
tlement. Would your wife and child
be worth only a measly $3 1 million?
Not mine. Peter! As a matter of fact,
as a lax payer, I'd rather see my tax
dollar go to Mr. Weaver than lo some
ami -gun. ami freedom loving
one-sided individual such as yourself

To change America
To The Editor:
I slept out in the cold last night, do
you know why? Because you voted
for either Clinton or Bush in Ihe last
election. Both the Democratic and
Republican parties have become the
parties of the rich minority.
When the U.S. voters wake up and
start selecting their own candidates
for president, senator and congress-
man instead of voting for the rich
man's selections, we will begin to
solve this country's problems
We've been playing according to a
set of econtmiic rules bought by
means of bribery. This is why the gap
between the rich and poor keeps
widening. And conditions keep wors-
ening
How did a minority of less than 1
pervent lake over our government?
They did il by dividing us up into
working, unemployed, white, col
ored. new immigrant, old immigrant,
pro life, prit choice, liberals, conser
valives. moderates, jailed non-jailed,
male, female, etc.
The common people of this coun
try have never stood together foi
their own gcKxl
lay Gould, whom Cornelius
Vanderbill called "the smartest man
on Wall St.," said he could pay h^ill
the working-people to lock up iheii
hate.
What did we have lo gain by decid
ing to lake majority control of this
government: full employment, an c-nd
lo homelessness, an end lo crime
wave, control of the economy, an end
Ui inflation, depression and reces-
sions, an end lo U.S. terrorism in
Central America and other areas, an .
end to torture, beatings and rape in
U.S. prisons, an end to domination
by a few rich families, a government
that has quality of life as its moving
force — not make money and power,
and freedom.
The Unites Stales lags far behind
the European countries in social ben
efils such as health insurance because
we are not unified by nationality as
ihey are
We need lo see each other as one
people who are only hurling each
other by our bickering
We need to gel rid of the bribed
politicians, bribed news media and
bribed schools
We need lo form a group in each
state and nominate and elect out own
candidates for president, senator and
congressman for 1496
I'he United Slates will then be. for
the first time, a Iree country, and we
will be resptinsible citizens

\'ou know, the worst joke I ever heard was one
my friend David told me over the summer after
lerry Garcia died. It went something like this: Hey
did you hear Ben He lerry came out with a new ice
cream flavor'.' It's called Berry lerry.
Sick'.' Yes But appropriate considering the
time. However, the real ice cream flavor named
after the deceased musician is Cherry Garcia and
some even go as far as to call it ambrosia. Big
sweet bing cherries mixed in with large luscious
chunks of solid dark chocolate and swirled
throughout a creamy, slightly cherry flavored ice
cream — pure heaven.
Maybe it's an acquired taste but uncc you start
there's no going back. Try it and sec just how good
Cherry Garcia can be.

VVhen you say the word "government" many
things come to mind, a few adjectives that sound
appropriate are "inefficient" and "gridlock."
However, it wasn't always that way and there may
be a way to levin the issue.
The hows and whys of the problem are examined
in this brilliant book that examines how interest
gruups have created Washington's terrible gridlock
and inefficiency.

Spike Lee back to form with new film Clockers
Director's latest release puts him hack in touch with what he does best: making ttwvies
By Michael Pessah
Coltegion Staff
CLOCKERS
Directed by Spike Lee
with Harvey Keitel, John Turlurro, Delroy Lindo
A body lies face up in the parking lot of Ahabs. a
restaurant on the outskirts of Brooklyn's Gawanis housing
pr(.>jects. The camera examines it in clinical detail: the pal-
lid skin, the milky eyes, the bullet lodgc-d uncannily in the
victims jaw. The only things in Spike Lee's Cloikers more
jaded than the camera (masterfully worked by Malik
Sayeed) are the people that it claims to speak for.
The body is examined by the local detectives, led by Lt.
Rocco (Harvey Keitel) Detectives on the scene appear to
be unmoved by the brutality of the crime. They seem to go
out of their way to prove to each other how unaffected
they are. After all. no cop is going to be perturbed by "just
another dead 'yo".
Spike Lee has finally reached his potential as a film-
maker with Clockers. Perhaps it is because Lee feels less
threatened by the Hollywood establishment (after six high
profile studio films), or it could be because his efforts are
more (iK'used (since Clockers is based upon a best-selling
novel). Regardless of cause. Spike Lee has finally grown
up
Spike Lee began his studio filmmaking career with
1988 sophomoric farce School l)u:e. Though flawed,
ik-hool Daze exhibited Lee's trademark camerawork and
wittiness.
I ee tollowcd Schm>l Duze up with the ground breaking
Do the Kijiht Thing, which was an amazingly brave para-
ble ol racism and loyally, it was as if Lee wanted to exam-
ine neighborhood dynamics without extraneous variables
o( drugs and crime. The Bed-Stuy neighborhood in Do
the Right Thing was intentionally unrealistic, even car-
ii.ionish (as was his arty. NYU. -influenced direction).
The re-' ■' t -.-'v work ^untinued tti emphasize his tal-
ent as a satirist and social anthropologist and deempha-
sized any inclination toward cinema verile. His Molcolm
.V disregarded historical fastidiousness in exchange for
Sparticus-\ike proportions.
With Clockers, Lee has managed to pull off a remark-
able feai: he was able to take his talent at creating moral-
istic mosaics and synthesize it with a shocking new ability
as a street documentarian.
The Brooklyn neighborhood (a location shift from the
New iersey setting of the novel) looked so realistic, that it
could be seen on the New York local news. The dialogue,
make-up and costumes were all dramatically lifelike (if a
bit dated). The screenplay was so authentic, that some
audiences will have trouble following it.
Not that Clockers has an identity crisis. It is without
question a Spike Lee 'joint.' It has a richness of character,
and a sense of playiul riskiaking that are instantly recog-
nizable as Lee's fingerprint.
The story revolves around the aforementioned body. It
apparently is the corpse of a small time drug dealer thai
was stealing from Rodney (Delroy Lindo. in the perfor
mance of the year) the local kingpin. The cops instantly
suspect Rodney's crony. Strike (Mekhi Phifer). Strike
appears to be the obvious suspect — he has a long crimi-
nal rtx-ord. bad street reputation and gangsta attitude.
Before the police can arrest Strike, his brother Victor
(Isaiah Washington) walks into the station and confesses
to the crime. Victor claims to have made the killing in self
defense, but his story in unsubstantiated. Additionally, the
detectives cannot find anyone in the neighborhood thai
won't swear that Victor is anything but a saint. One of hi>
former coworkers said. "Victor always put please and
thank you in a sentence. He either said Please, no ihunk
you. Or no thank you. please "
Is Victor lying to protect his bivther? If so. will Strike
come foi^vard'.' Will the law ever catch up wth Rodney'.'
These are some of ihe issues Cloikers deals with.
In an interview with Roger Eberi. Spike Lee once
lamented the absence of games on inner ciiy streets.
Hopscotch. Stickball. lacks. "These are games any city kid
learns. . . Now some kids don't even know how lu ndc a
bike... All they know is Nintendo and Sega."
Lee crafts his concern into a powerful subplot concern-
ing a young boy (Pec Wee Love) who spends all of his
time playing violent video games, and imitating Strike
Strike is Haltered by the boys attention and does little ^^)
discourage il. By the middle of ClcKkers every member of
the audience was hoping that the boy wouldn't be another
street casualty.
In the background of all the action in Clockers. Lee
paints a backdrop of an area in decline. This is the first
movie to truly bring to life the drudgery of the ghciio.
Lee's Brooklyn isn't the gun-toting zoo of Neu- lack Cii\,
but is instead a depressed and boring world where the
brave can hang out on benches and the cautious can
watch T.V. It is Ihe type of place where it becomes a
major event when a police officer decides to actually
investigate a crime.
As ClcKkers progresses, Lee's style grows more impa-s-
sionistic. By using animation, slow motion and sura-alism.
he begins to bring the audience into the characters subjec-
tivity. By the end of Cloikers the theater is immersed in the
ghetto, living as seen through the lens of a fever dream.
The shocker is throughout all the experimentation. Lee
never lets the movie lose its foothold in bclievabilitv This
is one of the few films to depict violence without glonfy
ing it. Realizing Francios Truffaut's lesson about the liiil,
lating effects of reenading violence. Lee rarely ever actu-
ally shows anyone gelling shot. Instead he concentrates on
the sad and grisly aftermath. Quite a sobering reminder of
the horror of violence in a world where Quentin
Tarantino is conditioning everyone to laugh at brutality.
Clockers isn't without flaws. The background music i>
too loud and the plot is hard to follow. With those minor
complaints aside. Clockers is a triumph. To borruv* a
ostentatious but telling phrase from Francis Ford
Coppola. "Clockers isn't a movie about the ghetto, it is
the ghetto." A
Japanese artist explores culture, history
By Seemo Gangatiriar
Collegian Staff
The AuguMa Savage Gallery celebrates its 25lh anniver-
sary with the opening of an exhibit by acclaimed
Japanese-America anist Tomie .Arai. The exhibit, which
opened yesterday Sept. 20. will run until Oct. 18.
According to Terry lenoure. curator of the Gallery.
Aral's artwork, described as "lextural." retlecls the "chal-
lenge, stress and joys" of being a lapanese- America
woman.
Arai works with paper in creative ways. Her pages of
living history help establish a personal sense of place and
continuity. The images Arai creates reflect Asian America
concerns, memories and experiences that intersect with
other culture-i Some of the materials Arai uses include
hand- colored photographs, wocxi. bamboo, silk-screened
paper and "found" objects.
lenoure mentioned she visited another exhibition of
Aral's a year ago and was "very improsed by her work
and so I invited her here to exhibit her ar^at the Galleiy."
In a statement. Arai said. "... I continue to be defined
by the immigrant experience and remain, like many
other Asian Americans, forever foreign, uprooted and
marginal. My work approaches this experience, and
issues of cultural identity for the perspective of an Asian
woman."
lenoure is hoping that many people will visit the exhibit
and mentioned she would like for "people to be more
aware of the diversity and richness of programming" the
Augusta Savage Gallery offers. Other events coming up
this season include performances by Native Americans, a
poetry reading/saxophone concert and a North Indian
dance performance.
The .Augusta Havage Gallery is located in the Sew
Africa House in the Central Residential .Area. The Tomie
Arai exhibit is free and open to the general public. For
more information, please call 545-5/77.

Air Miami flying high with Me, Me, Me
AIRMAMI
Me, Me, Me
4AD/Teenbeat Records
Mark Robinson is a hard guy to
put a finger on. lust when his former
band. Unrest, was beginning lo final
ly make a splash in the big time, after
years of laboring in obscurity.
Robinson dissolved the group. Next.
he announces that he will be fomiing
a new band. Air Miami, that will also
contain Unrest bassist Bridgeiie
Cross.
Now, the group has
released their debut, and
guess what? It does
really sound much dif
ferent than his for-
mer group, except
this time around all
the bugs that kept
Unrest from living
up lo its full poten-
tial seemed to ha
been worked out.
Gone are the silly experiments ih.H
Robinson seemed so fond of on
releases like Imperial and Perfect
Teeth., and ihey are replaced with a
somewhat dreamy pop sensibility that
lends itself well to various pop genres
that Air Miami explores. Me. Me. Me
finds Robinson and Cross playing the
role of pilot and co-pilot with a mis-
sion to fly straight through the last
25 years of pop music.
Take-off begi|is with the slash and
burn punk of "I Hate Milk." and
soars into Ihe disco-new wave of
"World Cup Fever." Sound forced?
Amazingly enough, this genre- hop-
ping holds together both belicvably
and coherenilv — a icstament to
Robinson and Cross' simplistic but
growing songwriting ability.
The album reaches its highest alti-
tude in the middle with the hushed
love-pop of "Secret Angel" and the
My Bloody Valentine-esque "Dolphin
Expressway." with the highlight here
being Robinson and Cross' beautiful-
ly interwoven vocals and the airy and
uplifting guitars thai surround them.
Of course, by the lime Me. Me. Me
comes down for a landing it is very
possible that all the sticky, sweet pop
turbulence may leave you
feeling a bit queasy, but
there is no doubt you'll
be glad you flew Air
Miami. B-f (Matt

Remember those mix
tapes that your music-obsessed
friend would make for you? In a little
over an hour you could learn about
20 bands that you suddenly adored
but previously didn't even know
existed. It is very uncommon for a
compilation ever lo achieve the great-
ness of a well- made mix tape, but
Red Hot & Bothered does just that.
For indie rock geeks, this compilation
is a god send, all new songs by many
of your favorite bands. For those illit-
erate music fans who consider a band
obscure if they open up at the
Mullins Center, this album is the per-
fect introduction to the world of
indie rock.

from Dayton. OH opens up the
album with their track "Sensational
Gravity Boy." Featuring both of the
Deal sisters from the Breeders and
most of Guided By Voices, the band
is almost the indie version of
Travelling Wilbury's, but much bet-
ter.
More surprises include a track by
the Cradle Robbers, which features
Lois Maffeo and Rebecca from the
Spinanes. arguably two of the finest
female songwriters from the
Northwest. Stephin Mcrritt of the
Magnetic Fields and the bihs appears
in yet another carnation. Future Bible
Heroes, who contribute the song.
"Hopeless." Not a surprising song
title considering Merritt's often
gloomy outlook on life.
Hardly gloomy or downbeat is
"Small Trail" by British pop stars
Heavenly who are sure lo brighten up
your day. While perhaps America's
most underrated band. Built to Spill,
collaborate with the obscure band
Caustic Resin on an amazing track.
"Still Flat." it offers just a bit of the
band's brilliant songwriting
Other bands includoJ on the com-
pilation are Noise Addict. Liquorice.
Folk Implosion. Grifters, and East
River Pipe.
Like the perfect mix tape, this
compilation offers up no poor selec-
tions, and this is as rare as a good
song by Sponge. Whether this serves
as an Introduction to the indie rock
world or as a supplement lo your
already extensive colltxiion of 7" sin-
gles and flexi discs. Red Hoi and
Bothered is an essential compilation
And next time you make a mix tape
for that special someone, don't be
surprised if you keep reaching for
this CD for songs. It is that gi.K)d. A-

SHANE MACGOWAN
The Snake
Zn Records
Shane MacGowan has for man\
years walkcxJ a very fine musical line,
trying to unite traditional Irish music
with rock n'roll. While fronting his
former band. The Pogues,
MacGowan was able to merge the
angst and attitude of rc>ck music with
the lyrical strength and melody of tra-
ditional Irish music. His new solo
album is no exception.
The Snake contains adaptations of
traditional folk played with fiddle,
penny whistle and banjo to full till
rock songs with blazing guitars. All
songs however are sung with
MacGowan trade mark voice, which
in recent years has matured from a
gravelly brc)gue lo a rocky bark.
Though the album is ver> reminis-
cent of The Pogues, il seems much
more mature. MacGowan pens many
tunes ab<.>ul regret and loss, one of
these is the standout. "The Song
With No Name " He loses the
acoustic instruments on "Victoria"
arul sings aK.<ul his love for Victoria
herself amongst a borage of electric
guitar.
The real high point of Ihe album is
MacGowan's duet with famed Irish
star Sinead O'Connor on the song.
"Haunted." Her beautiful, almost
siren-like voice paired with his bark
sounds like rubbing silk against sand-
paper but the combination is truly a
musical treat.
Lois (R) appears on the new Red Hot ♦ Bothered compilation.

Review ~
Trax On
con^nued from page 9
The first CD opens with an elec-
tric, vibrant version of "Bouncing
Around the Room." which will make
you do just what the song implies.
The song just exudes the happiness
the band is known for. Following this
is a jazzy version of "Stash." which
shows the band's musical grea(ness.
Listen to the subtle piano playing, the
rhythmic drumming, and the domi-
nating guitar. The only downside to
"Stash" is by the end of the tune, the
band loses their togetherness that
they displayed earlier.
The other disc begins with the live
audience chanting. "U'ilson" which
not surprisingly ends up being the
first song. Building off the crowd's
energy, the band slides into an awe-
some level of enthusiasm that is
rarely heard these days. Unlike many
Phish songs. "Wilson" has a distinct
rock 'n' roll feel to it. featuring heavy
guitars and thunderous drums that
are not usually associated with the
band.
The band's tightness is seen best
on "Simple." a dancy harmonic
piece featuring classic Phish \ocaK
But it is the intricate musitiil
arrangement that makes this track a
standout.
Phish is known for its live shous
and often they can't recapture ihcir
energy and creativity in the studiu
Another essential part of a Phish cun
ceri is the overly enthusiastic crowds
who make this album even more spe-
cial. If you can't wait for ihur
upcoming shows at the Mullin>
Center then take a listen to this B

Cod Street Wine rocked Pearl Street Tuesday night.

God Street Wine plays Noho
By Bryan Schwartzman
Collegion Correspondent
COD STKEET WTNC
Pearl Street
Sept 19, 1995
•' lorming in 1»J«7 God
Street Wine has become a band
with deep grassroots and an obses-
sion tor touring. On Tuesday the
group brought their jams to Pearl
Street in front of their dedicated
followers, who call themselves
"winos."
The band is best known for their
improvisational extcndc-d jams akin
to those of Phish and Blues
Traveller. They used the jam ses-
sions not repetiiiously. but to touch
on a large portion of the existing
musical spectrum spreading from
rock to funk to reggae to blues.
What separates God Street Wine
from similar hands is their incredi-
ble liming that runs like clockwork
and their precise execution.
Along with their abundance of
talent, the band brought plenty of
energy electrifying the Pearl Street
audience. Throughout the show the
entire crowd could be seen danc-
ing, bouncing, jumping, trying to
conncvt with the music in an indi-
vidual way.
One of the bands most effective
tools was their ability to contrast
vocal harmony with extended
insirumentals. One of the high-
lights of the show was when key-
boardist. Ion Bevo. treated the
audience to a keykxird solo with
strong classical overtones.
As usual, with experimental
improvised music, the songs that
move the crowd seem too brief
while the mediocre tunes drag on
loo long. Missed the show'' Don't
worry because God Street Wine
will commemorate their sixth
anniversary of full-time louring on
Dec. 1 3 with a reium dale to Pearl
Street.
The Conneticut-based band
Sunflower opened the show.
Although relati\elv an unknown
act, the band was able to warm the
crowd with their upbeat and easy
going playing style. The band con-
sisted of six musicians, including
two acoustic guitarists and a K)ngo
drummer. Like God Street Wine.
Sunflower's style crossed over
many genres ranging from funk,
r&b. to country. Although the band
had the disersily of the headliners.
they lacked God Street Wine's
technical prowess and group cohe-
sion.

J. Mascis returns home again
Dinosaur Jr frontman brings solo acoustic shmv to Iron Horse
By Woyken Show
Collegian Staff
|. Mascis has dcfiniidy not lost a sense of his roots In
ihe past year and a half, the Dinosaur |r. mastermind and
■Amherst native has been popping up around town to
seemingly give a little back to the place of his youth.
Mascis returns to a local stage once more with a solo
appearance at the Iron Horse Music Hall in Northampton
tomorrow night.
Mascis has come a long way since his band's self-titled
debut. Dinosaur (Homesteadl. in 1985. After a succes-
sion of albums on SST and the addition of "Ir." to their
name (lo avoid confusion with an obscure S.F. band, the
Dinosaurs). Dinosaur jr. jumped to the ranks of the
majors (Sire/Reprise) and popularized country -oriented
tuzz rock. The rest is alternative rock history.
Yet now with the band's last record. Wiihoui a Sound,
over a year old. Mascis scvms to be basking in the admira-
tion of his hometown. His solo shows are generally
acoustic but fans shouldn't worry as to whether a
sonic-less retrospective of Dino jr. will match up.
Without the fuzz and undecipherable moans the show
should be refreshing as one can fully sense Mascis' song-
wriling ability.
And while last February's appearance at Amherst
College brought such surprises as a set from Dino bassist
Mike lohnson and Ciobblehoof guitarist Kurt Fedora, one
can only wonder what Mascis will bring forth tomorrow
night.

'Rap Diary' explores music industry
I hope the majority of you hip-hop heads have
heard Re^kwons album featuring Chostface killa (no
one ilia). If not you need too. Riza produced the
album, like you didn't know. So the beats are tight,
rhymes are right. You couldn't ask for more, or could
you?
If your the kind of person that
asks for more, there is more.
Method Man, Nas. Riza and Giza
(the Genius) are representing on
this album. Method Man "comes
off in two songs, showing the
world of hip-hop that he has rwt
fallen off yet.
Nas — one of hip-hop's top lyri-
cal geniuses — literally rips the album with one verse.
Riza. sounds like he got hit with the holy ghost of rap.
Similar to a speeded up jeru and Kahamadia style
(originally Big Daddy Kane style). Riza still rips the
scene. ("Am I sweating Riza? I think .so). Last but nec-
essary, the Genius, the foundation of the Wu-Tang
Clan, adds an accentual ingredient to the album — a
spice you've tastc-d before but you
just don't know the name.
This album contains some of
raps top criminologists/lyrists. The
collection of flavors ends up
sounding very good. Don't play it
to much or you might start walk-
ing around campus thinking that
your the ##$, when your not.
Kidding.
Stay safe, y'all. til next week. Peace BccfStew

Remembering life in Tanzania
By Bryan Schwartzmon
Collegian Staff
Tomorrow and Saturday at 8 p.m. in Bowker
Auditorium, the New WORLD Theater presents Shcela
Langeberg's play Maija Of Chaggaland.
Langeberg is the writer and stars as her mother, who is
from the village of Chaggaland in Tanzania
"I had always wanted to write a story about someone
whose life would represent every human being regardless
of color, nationality or gender. I wanted to write a true
story and I couldn't find any belter example than Maija —
my momma," said Langeberg.
She is the play's sole performer and explores African
culture and the life of her mother through expressions of
dance, song, and story telling Through the course of the
play. Langeberg portrays her mother, grandmother, and
grandfather. Maija of Chaggaland is a story of a woman
bom into poverty who overcomes great adversity and cir-
cumstance to become one of wealth, lovt-d and respected
by her community. The story spans events from a terrible
forced circumcision to first love, as well as children and
latter enterprise and success.
Sheela Langcberge was bom in Kilimanjaro and was
educated in Tanzania. She has appeared in several films in
Scandinavia and Tanzania. Her most recent movie appear-
ance was in the Australian movie 'EbhiiiJe ' In 1<W2. she
worked with the Patch Theater Centre and, a year later,
appeared in "The Childhood Hear' with the Visaistalisix
Theater Company.
Director loanna lackermis was excited lo have the
opportunity to bring to life Langeberg's text to life. "I was
delighted when Sheela Langeberge first approached me to
direct Maija of Chaggaland.'
lackermis style emphasizes body language and move-
ment as an integral part of theater.

Fugazi to blow away Pearl Street
By Jason Flax
Collegion Corespondent
Coming to Pearl Street in
Northampton tomorrow is
Washington D.C.'s hardcore legends
Fugazi. After doing several New
England shows last spring with
Unwound, Fugazi are back in the
area in support of their latest album
entitled Ked Medicine.
Fugazi, known for their intense
live shows, feature Brendan Canty,
loe Lally, Un Mackaye and Guy
Picciolto. Mackaye. who led the infa-
mous Minor Threat in the early '80s.
shares his role as guitarist and singer
with Guy Picciolto. While Mackaye
sticks to a more aggressive style of
singing. Picciolto has a softer vocal
approach, giving Fugazi their own
unique blend of guitar-driven hard-
core.
On their latest release Red
Medicine, Fugazi took a more diverse
approach, playing a wide range of
styles that, at moments, geared
towards the experimental. Although
not ihc band's best effort, the album
is extremely strong and consistent.
Ever since his days in Minor
Threat, Mackaye has been the icon of
the American underground punk
scene. His status is still intact more
than fifteen years after appearing on
the D.C. scene. Fugazi's Repealer
album remains one of the most
important punk albums of the
decade, as it reinvented hard core lor
the 1990s,
Besides their intense music, Fugazi
are known for iheir DIY ethics. They
purposely play only all ages shows
and keep the price at $5. Mackaye
runs Dischord Records, which releas-
es all of the band's recordings as well
as other releases by Slant 6 and
Lungfish.
As far as live shows go, Fugazi
have been known to mix up tficre
material so the old fans won't be dis-
appointed. So. if your a long time fan
or just curious afx)ut the buzz, Fugazi
won't be a disappointment for you
this Friday.
fugazi plays Pearl Street this Friday
at 7 p.m. with an unannounced guest.

Simpsons
continued from poge 6
chance to try and figure out who
probably did it and possibilities were
endless. This special showed over
twenty possible suspects. I never
ihuughi thai one man could ever
have thai many enemies, except I
guess if you are a man Mice
Monlgomerv Bums. But. of course,
this special gave the viewers no clue
as 10 who actually did the deed.
The key suspec s that were appar-
ent to most of the viewers were
Homer. Bart and Smithers. Homer's
motive was that Burns could never
remember his name, and Burns had
ruined Ban's school and fired
Smithers.
But. what every television expert
knows is when the show points out a
character as a key suspect, you know
that they didn't do it. The suspects
the wrilcrs of the show point out are
always way to«.> obvious, so all c*f the
viewers know ii has be someone else.
This is exactly what happened as
Chief Wiggum tried to round up the
evidence.
A gun was found in the Simpson's
car after Marge had buried it in the
backyard, and it had Homer's finger-
prints all over it. along with a piece
of hair that was full of Simpson's
DNA. Doesn't this piece of evidence
sound just a little bit loo much like a
familiar case that we all are getting
sick of in Los Angeles. To think that
the similarities are merely coinciden-
tal is completely preposterous.
The Simpson's arc main suspects.
DNA matching the suspects, and
their fingerprints all over the
weapon. Okay, so in the actual
Simpson case there is no weapon.
Yet. in my opinion. I think the pro-
ducers of this show are trying to tell
the viewing audience what they think
the actual verdict will be in the Los
Angeles double-murder case.
If il was found that Homer
Simpson was innocent even though
all of this evidence had actually been
stacked up against him. maybe the
producers think this will be the same
outcome in O.l.'s case. The other key
suspect. Smithcr's had been in a
drunken stupor and couldn't remem-
ber anything about that night.
As the episode inched towards ii
conclusion, it was revealed the least
likely suspect had actually done it.
The culprit was young, pacifier-suck-
ing. Maggie Simpson.
That conclusion totally disappoint-
ed me. The way the producers of
"The Simpsons" had built up this
murder mystery storyline. I had
thought the mystery would continue
throughout the season and not just
be wrapped up in one episode. I
thought it would at least last a few
episodes, in order to continue to
build up the anticipation. But. to
reveal everything in the very first
episode, which was such a letdown,
and the story as to wfiat really hap-
pened that night was even worse.
Montgomery Bums was just walk-
ing around town when he came aking
Maggie Simpson sitting in the car
alone. Who really believes that Marge
would ever leave tier baby alone in the
car at night with the windows down?
As Maggie joyfully sucks on her
green lollipop. Burns tells her he
wants it and proceeds to take it away
from her. They struggle, his gun
come flying out of the holster under
his jacket, it lands in Maggie's hands
and goes off.
That had to be the most ridiculous
conclusion to a murder mystery that I
have ever seen. They could have at
least written something like Principal
Skinner or Miss Crabappic did it to
save their elementary school, but
instead a little baby pulled the trig-
ger
There was actually only one thing
that was revealed during the conclu-
sion of the "Who Shot Mr. Burns"
that I really thought was brilliant.
When Bums was shot, he collapsed
onto the Simpson sundial which had
markings of N. S. E. and W on it.
When Bums collapsed his arms were
pointing at the S and the W. And if
you were really paying attention, you
could figure out that if you turned
the "W" upside down. Burns had
spelled out the initials of his attacker,
"M.S." for Maggie Simpson. I
thought that was such a creative way
for the writers to point out the killer,
that the stupidity of having Maggie
Simpson as the attacker almost disap-
peared from my mind. But. I still feel
I hey could have done a lot belter
with this cliffhanger.
Of course. I know that it is a car-
toon and that is purely there for my
entertainment pleasure and not to be
analyzed, but I can't help myself.
This episode couldn't have been any-
more ridiculous.

Broadway hit to entertain at FAC
Smash hit Crazy For You at UMass this Friday night
By Seema Gangatirlcar
Collegian Staff
Those ready to kick up their feet
and enjoy a brand-new old-fash-
ioned musical will flip over Crazy
For You, a Tony Award winning
musical-comedy coming to the
Fine Arts Center for a one night
only performance on Sept. 22 at 8
p.m. The show, featuring songs by
George Gershwin, is on a glittering
new bus-and-truck tour and will
play over 100 cities in J5 weeks in
the United States and Canada.
The musical features the classic
boy-meets-girl story, a hilarious
combination of fast-breaking plot
twists aiKJ mistaken identities. But
most importantly, love triumphs in
the end. The plot focuses on
Bobby, a New Yock playboy who is
sent by his mother to foreclose on a
theater in Deadixxk, Nev. When he
gets there, he falls in love with
Polly, the only girl in a tough min-
ing town of 157 men.
A tap-dancing extravaganza, the
show is credited with bringing back
to Broadway the old-fashioned
show-biz razzlc-dazzie in the tra-
dition of legendary impresarios as
Flo Ziegfield and Billy Rose.
Crazy For You was brought to
life by entrepreneur Roger
Horchow, whose childhood dream
was to stage a musical based on
Gershwin's music. Teaming up
with his Broadway producing col-
league. Elizabeth Williams (into
The Woods. The Secret Garden)
and Ludwig, Horchiow was able to
make his dream come true.
Crazy For You has thrilled
Broadway with its combination of
classic Gershwin songs, ecstatic
choreography and dazzling sets and
costumes. The show includes 16
Cershwrin works from many of his
shows and a sparkling new book by
the author Ken Ludwig (Lend Me
A Tenor).
Songs include "Embraceable
You," "I Got Rhythm" and "But
Not For Me" from Gershwin's
1950 hit Cir,' Crazy. Other songs
that will be heard in the perfor-
mance are "You Can't Take That
Away From Me.' "Things Are
Looking Up* and "Someone to
Watch Over Me.* An added treat
will be the inclusion of four addi-
tional Gershwin songs which were
only recently rediscovered in a the-
atrical warehouse.
Crazy For You has won rave
reviews across the country. Edith
Oliver of The New Yorker says, "It
is heaven on earth. A joy to hear
and to behold. Everything an
American musical comedy should
be.* Kevin Kelly of the Boston
Globe echoed the sentiment with
'Crazy For You just couldn't be
any better.'
In addition to the Tony Awards,
Crazy For You has received Outer
Critics Circle Awards for best
musical, best choreography, best
orchestrations, best costumes and
best design, along with Laurence
Olivier Awards for best musical
and best choreography.
So slip on your dancing shoes
and take a look at an American
musical-comedy at its finest.
Tickets are J35. $27 and $18
with $5 for Five-College students.

Voodoo examined in TV series
By Kira L BiWck
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Forget Hollywood depictions of
glassy-eyed zombies and perverse, frenzied rituals.
Voodoo is a religion — and to its adherents, a source of
healing and a conduit to the supernatural.
The reality of voodoo is among the subjects tackled by
"Divine Magic: The World of the Supernatural," a series
airing on the Discovery Channel. The first episodes air at
10 p.m. Eastern next Monday through Thursday; the final
shows will be broadcast Oct. 25-25.
Wednesday's show. "The Power of Voodoo* — narrat-
ed by actor Stephen Rea of "The Crying Game" — traces
the roots of a religion that was bom in Africa 400 years
ago and brought to the Caribbean, particulariy Haiti, dur-
ing the slave trade. Aixi il explains some of its central
beliefs.
Philadelphian Anna Branche. a 64-year-old voodoo
priestess, or "boa mambo," was trained in Haiti and
Benin. West Africa. She traveled to the birthplace of
voodoo to. as she says, "rediscover what the word
voodoo" means." The show offers portions of her initia-
tion ceremony.
She said voodoo practiced in Africa differs from that
practiced in Haiti.
"In Benin, the voodoo religion is absolutely pure, as
was passed down from generation to generation — as the
ancestors practiced it. The slaves that went into Haiti.
Brazil, and other countries had to disguise it,* Branche
said in an interview at her home.
"So their slave masters would hear the drums beating
and the chants going and they would hear about lesus
Christ and about almighty God and St. Michael and St.
Peter and all of those things."
However, behind that was the original African gods and
deities. She describes voodoo as "shamanistic*
"It's shamanistic because its goal is to heal. It's shaman-
istic because it's a root, earth-based religion. It's shaman-
istic because it's very simple. It's not organized insomuch
that curriculum has to be followed." Branche said.
Honoring one's ancestors and the spirits of the natural
world is the focal point of voodoo. Branche noted.
"Their belief is that the ancestors never leave and the
ancestors must always be satisfied and pleased," she said.
"If your crops are bad or you are infertile or you cannot
get a husband, then the ancestors are not pleased.
"Therefore, we must do something to honor the atKes-
tors, and we must have an attitude of sacredness and
divineness when we do it," she said. "Therefore, here
comes the ritual, the ceremony."
In a ceremony, the ultimate goal is to become possessed
by a spirit. Chanting, drums and dancing all induce pos-
session. Branche says she was possessed nearly 50 years
ago on a visit to Haiti. She and some friends were watch-
ing a voodoo ceremony when it happeiKxi.
"Of course me. I'm getting bored because I can't under-
stand the language. I don't know what's going on. and
nobody's explaining." she said. "The next thing I knew. I
was out in the middle of it.
"The next thing I remember is they had me in the car. I
knew something had happened. I've seen it happen to oth-
ers — it happens all the time. I wasn't the same after
that."
Voodoo. Branche says, is unjustly maligned.
'There is no other religion that has been bastardized,
prostituted, ridiculed, and put in such a bad light by peo-
ple who knew nothing about it," she said.
"All that negative (stuff about) voodoo curses and
voodoo dolls and zombies and all of that — that just isn't
real."
Voodoo does have two sides, just like white and black
magic. One is rada, which Branche calls "the gentle and
loving and healing side" of the religion. The other is petro.

It's hearing the call of the local
vendors as you pass through the
dubious looking mid-way wonder-
ing if the zipper and tilt-a-whirl are
worth the $2 and possibly your life.
It's staring at the sky as you whirl
around, hoping your stomach
doesn't heave or the safety bar
loosen, while below you, people of
all shapes, sizes, nationalities and
musical tastes come together to
have some good clean fun
What's so big about the
BigE?
And what can be cleaner and
more fun than the Big E? It has
such a rustic quality and at the
same time a touch of modernity.
Agriculture is just as much a pro
fession as law or medicine. There
is a certain amount of satisfaction
in knowing you grew something as
big as a 450 lb pumpkin from a
seed as big as your fingemail.
Some of the highlights of this
year's fair include the I- SNET
infoway, a "fun and informative
way to introduce and educate visi
tors in the latest in computers and
communications technology." The
"l-way" is filled with over 60 such
exhibits that will wisk you away to
a time not so far away.
Still need some persuasion?
Then how about the allure of the
circus? Sponsored by Coca-Cola
the Big E Circus under the Big E
Top (naturally) is a long time Big
E tradition with performers and
acts handpicked from top notch
shows around the worid. Free to
the public the show revolves
around the European style "main
ring" format.
From your seat you can witness
the flying trapeze, the Marinoffs of
Romania's gravity-defying aerial
act, elephants, horses, dogs,
Caesar (one of the world's greatest
and hop>efully un-annoying mime)
along with a plethora of clowns.
This year, the circus is housed
under a brand new tent and has
expanded seating and theater-style
lighting.
For the young'uns and those
young at heart there is nothing
quite like a Farm-a-rama What
the hell is that? Good question, it's
like a petting zoo with an edge.
How much of an edge? Well, you
can see baby chicks hatching, lla-
mas (did you know that in South
America they are used just like a
mule or donkey and can, on occa-
sion, be eaten?), giant pumpkins,
rare animal breeds, giant
Clydesdales and award winning
4-H and FFA creations.
New this year will be Farm
Follies, an animated show about
foods (no. this is not a joke) and
where they come from. Especially
good for those who can't remem-
ber the four food groups, but know
all the lyrics to "American Pie.'
Once the quality of a man or
woman was known by the way
they sat on a horse. The way they

counitiioim^i
sat as they galloped hither and
nither bespoke the person's class,
education and all-around snobbi-
ness. But that has all changed and
now sitting on a horse isn't half as
spectacular as riding, galloping
and generally wowing onlookers.
Hence. The Big E Wild West Show
which features trick riding and
other strange and unusual acts
performed while on horseback
(mind out of the gutter, please).
Still not convinced?
One of the highlights of the fair
is the Avenue of States where six
buildings modeled after the original
State Houses are lined up and filled
with the state's finest fcxxts, prod
ucts. crafts and vacation tnforma-
tkxi.
People literally cram into these
puppies for things like homemade
ice cream (Vt), Dels Lemonade
(R.l). baked stuffed clams (Maine)
and freshly picked apples (Mass.).
Last year there was a tank full of
tobacco spit and you could "bid"
" on how much spit was in the tank
(it may seem easy, but it wasn't).
There were also numerous animat-
ed displays and food, food, food!
Be prepared to shell out the bucks,
especially at the Massachusetts
house where a lottery distribution
tent is set up beckoning you to buy
scratch tickets and try your hand
at being a millkxiaire.
Of course there are the odd and
unusual activities that make you
wofvder who has so much damn time
on their hands. Case in point: the
Spam Recipe Contest (great if you're
stuck in a fall out shelter). Joie
Citwood's Thrill Show. McDonald's
Land Stage and 'the half man, half
(oh pick any exotic animal that
humans could never mate with)" tent
— a.k.a the freak sfK>w.
So to sum il all up in a
not-so-tidy way, there is a lot to
see, even for the most jaded and
eclectic of tastes. Maybe you don't
go to see the horses and the jams
and the jellies. Maybe you don't

The Hosion Globe published an
article this month in Working
Mother magazine which listed 100
companies best suited for working
mothers.
When compiling their list.
Working Mother examined pay

and the range and extent of fami-

employees.
ludsen Culbreth. the

said the goal in creating this roster
oi the best companies was to call

Miss America: Swimsuits Remain
Miss Oklahoma. Shawniel
Smith, was crowned Miss America
on Sept. lb. which was also her
24th birthday.
Smith was not the only one who
received attention as the swimsuit
issue took center stage. Viewers
voted overwhelmingly to retain the
swimsuit competition, in keeping
with 75 years of pageant history.
Some called the segment sexist
and irrelevant, trying to have it
eliminated.
Miss America said her victory
would mean much to Oklahomans

bombing of the Federal Building
in Oklahoma City.
Woman With Cancer Risks Life
To Give Birth
Valhalla. N.Y.. Sept 18 — New
mother. Aracely Saldana, 23.
risked her life to give birth after
doctors urged her to terminate her
pregnancy.
Following a routine blood test.
Saldana became diagnosed with
leukemia, which, said her doctors,
would almost certainly lead to the
mother's death if she did not ter-
minate her pregnancy.
Despite the doctor's wishes.
Saklana igiMred them all and gave
birth on Sept. 8. to Bianca Maria
Ramos, a healthy 6 pounds 13
ounce daughter at the Westchester
County Medical Center.
Saldana's survival is still, how-
ever, uncertain. In the u|)coming
weeks. Ms. Saldana will receive
chemotherapy and bone marrow
transplant treatments to Tight the
leukemia.
However, doctors said Saldana
still has a lot of problems to over-
come, but there is a good chance
she will ultimately have a happy
ending.
"I couldn't stop thinking about
the baby, no matter what people
told me," said Ms. Saldana in yes-

Red Sox clinch AL East
Thursday, September 21, 1995 / Page 15
By Howard Ulman
Asiocioted Press
BOSTON - Mo Vaughn stood on
second, pumping his fist toward lose
Canseco, who had just delivered the
decisive run — and the AL East title
— with a broken-bat single, not a
trademark homer.
Canseco did what the Red Sox
hoped he would do when they traded
with Texas for him in the off-season.
His seventh-inning hit Wednesday
night gave Boston a J-2 v^n over the
Milwaukee Brewers and its first divi-
sion championship since 1990.
•That's why we got him," Vaughn
said. "He set out to do a job and he
did it. and that's why we are right
here."
The usually serious Vaughn smiled
in the champagne-soaked clubhouse
after he and several teammates had
taken celebratory rides on horses of
mounted policemen who rode onto
the field after the victory.
Canseco, obtained in a trade with
Texas in the off-season, has been a
key to Boston's season, hitting .306
with 24 homers and 77 RBIs. includ-
ing two RBIs Wednesday. Since the
All-Star break, he is hitting .327 with
19 homers and 56 RBIs.
"I really didn't ihink about it."
Canseco said of filling the hero's role
the Red Sox hoped he would fill. "I
just thought about getting that base
hit, putting us ahead."
And he didn't mind that he did it
with a single through the infield
instead of a homer far over the left-
field wall.
"I would have rather had the single
than hit a line drive to the shortstop,"
he said. "That ball was surgically
placed."
After that, Boston held Milwaukee
hitless as Rick Aguilera picked up his
3 1 St save.
The Red Sox have held first place
by themselves since May I 3 and built
a season-high 16-game lead Aug. 28.
But they've had trouble locking up
the division. They went 3-7 on a
recent road trip to New York,
Baltimore and Cleveland as their
magic number remained at two.
It stayed there when the Red Sox
lost and the second-place Yankees
won Monday. Boston won 5-3
Tuesday to clinch a tie for the divi-
sion title, but 50 minutes later New
York finished a 5-5 win over
Toronto, giving Boston a chance to
clinch with a victory Wednesday.
"This is the way it's supposed to
be, in front of our fans at home."
Boston manager Kevin Kennedy said.
"We've gotten past the biggest hur-
dle, getting into the playoffs."
Kennedy also took a ride on a
horse as fans stayed long after the
game to cheer the Red Sox.
In New York, where the Yankees
beat Toronto 2- 1 . New York manager
Buck Showalter said. "When
[ESPN's] SportsCenter goes to their
celebration tonight, my channel will
be turned."
The Red Sox will play the AL wild-
card team unless it's the Yankees. In
that case, they wouU play Cleveland.
"If Boston and Cleveland meet and
they play their best baseball, it could
be a great series." Milwaukee's |ohn
laha said.
"They earned it. I just wish it
hadn't come against us,' Milwaukee
manager Phil Gamer said. "Canseco
|Mt the ball in play when he had to.
That's what makes him the player he
is.'
Canseco trotted down the first-
base line with his bat handle in his
hand as the hard grounder rolled into
left field, scoring Luis Alicea.
Rhcal Cormier (7-5) pitched two
perfect innings in relief of Erik
Hanson, who worked five hitless
innings but left the game after the
sixth in which he was hit on the right
leg-
Dwayne Hosey, claimed off
waivers from Kansas City on Aug.
51, had a major role in the victory.
He led off the first inning with a dou-
ble and fifth with a single and scored
both times. After Alicea started the
seventh with a single, Hosey sacri-
ficed him to second. )ohn Valentin
then flied out and Vaughn was
walked intentionally by Ron
Rightnowar. Canseco followed with
his decisive hit.
After Hosey's double, he took
third when a pickoff attempt by
Scott Karl (5-6) sailed into center
field. Hosey scored on Valentin's
groundout. Hosey started the fifth
with a single, stole second, went to
third on Vaughn's single and scored
when Canseco grounded into a force

• Cal Ripken is a hero — no ques-
tion about it. But does he need a
rest? The week Ripken broke Lou
Gehrig's "unbreakable" record, he
was hitting in the high .500's Since
the legend broke the mark, he is hit
ting a dismal .075. going 3-for-4l at
the plate. All of the Ripken hype has
sileiKed a bit since the historical day
at Camden Yards, and the Orioles
have dropped out of the wild-card

ken, and in this day and age. it will
never be broken again If the Birds
were in the race for post-season. I
would say rest up Ripken for a few
days and have him come in strong for
the post-season.
• I have a personal theory about
why Red Sox pitcher Erik Hanson
does not throw his curve ball
Hanson hurt his elbow earlier this
season, keeping his curveball out of
his repertoire. Throwing fasibulls and
sliders docs not affect his elbow, so
while he is throwing his other pitch-
es, the elbow can still heal
Conclusion: Hanson's curveball will
be back for his first start in post sea-
son play.

Men s tennis looks to finish Fairfield
THE MASSACHUSETTS DAILY COLLEGIAN
By Jameson Heos
Collegian Correspondent
Afler lasl year's match ended preniaiurely due to rain,
the Massachusetts men's tennis team feels it has some
unfinished business left in today's match against Fairfield
University at 3 p.m. at Upper Boyden Courts.
With the score tied 3-5 heading into the doubles
matches, clouds rolled in and ended the day's games. The
match was never rescheduled, so Massachusetts coach
ludy Dixon is looking forward to this afternoon.
"We want to finish it this year for sure. We have to go
afler the doubles point because they are pretty strong at
(No. I and No. 2\. So we have to play UMass tennis by
winning the doubles and going after No. 3. No. 4, No. 5
and No. 6." Dixon said. "We have to gel the grunters to
win."
The Minutemen are coming off an impressive 6- 1 victo-
ry at Rhode Island this past Monday, where they
improved their record to 2-1. UMass assistant coach
Doug Knuth felt the team played strong, but there are
areas where they have to improve.
"They didn't come out with as much energy as I would
have liked. They still came out with a |good| win. but they
could have come out a little bit stronger." he said.
Senior co-captain Darren Tau came away with his first
win of the year and Knuth said. "It was a good match for
him because (the opponent) he played was really talented.
It was a close match where he had to grind it out to the
end."
Freshman Todd Cheaney and junior transfer Ryan
Ginley have continued to impress as they improved their
doubles record to 3-0 along with sophomore Alex AUer at
No. 4 singles.
"It is unusual that I would have a freshman starling
right away, but he worked his way onto the lineup,"
Dixon .said. "We are putting out the best team we have
and I will go with that."
Senior co-captain lustin Lynn and transfer Gregor
Rutnmel have turned it around after losing their season
op)cner to Boston University, (knh have came back with
consecutive straight set victories and are looking to con-
tinue their streak today. Ankur Bayshu had his perfect
record blemished as he tell at No. 3 singles to drop to
"No one played bad. but we came out a little bit flat.
We came off a real strong win on Saturday (against
Wesleyan] with a lot of intensity. Then we came into
Monday's match with a little bit lower intensity in the
same type o( match. On Saturday, they came out and beat
the other team, but Monday, they didn't come out as
motivated." Di.xon said.

Women s tennis remains unbeaten;
match with HC puts record at 4-0
By Jay Warner
Coliegion Correspondent
Despite the fact that the Massachusetts women's
tennis team was playing it's fourth match in five days.
the Minutewomen cruised to an easy 9-0 defeat of
Holy Cross.
The Minutewomen extended their undefeated streak
to an early and impressive record of 4-0. Although the
team is young in age. their maturity and ability to han-
dle the competition has resulted in a successful start to
the 1995 season.
Co-captain Liesl Sitton once again lead the way.
winning the No. I singles with relative ease. 6-2, b-1.
Sitton teamed with Caroline Sitx'le in the No. 1 dou-
bles match, defeating the Cru.sadcrs combination of
Stephanie Raymond and Courtnt7 Gelinas. 8-3. Prior
to her doubles victory. Steele won No. 5 singles with-
out a blemish, b-0. 6-0.
Freshman lackie Braunstein moved to the No. 2 sin-
gles slot, and continued to display her young talent,
dominating Holy Cross' Gelinas, 6- 1 , 6- 1 . Braunstein
teamed with Lana Gorodetskaya in the No. 3 doubles
match, completing the entire sweep with a convincing
8-1 win. The combination of co-caplain Liz Durant
and freshman Marie-Christine Caron was the third
doubles team at the No. 2 spot, beating their competi-
tion. 8-2.
"We've come out of the first third of the season in
wonderful shape." UMass coach |udy Dixon said. "I
think the good news is that our doubles is very strong."
Caron. who has handled the pressure of Division I
athletics well in her first season, was victorious in her
No. 6 singles match, 6-2, 6-1. Durant, whose co-cap-
tain status has put her under the spotlight in terms of
the younger players looking up to her, started her No.
5 singles match in strong fashion before finishing the
match in two sets, 6-0, 6-3. Gorodetskaya rounded
out the singles card, winning the No. 4 spot, 6-2. 6-4.
The team gets a well-deserved rest until it travels lo
Rhode Island to play top rival. Providence College.
P.C. defeated the Minutewomen in the regular season
last year by a single point, as well as winning the New
England Championship.
Men's soccer falls to UNH
The Massachusetts men's soccer
team had its winning streak stopped
at three games as they were defeated
by the New Hampshire Wildcats,
4-2. yesterday in Durham. N.H.
Steve lones got the Minutemen on
the scoreboard at 9:05 in the first
half with his first goal of the season.
He scored on a scramble in front of
the net following a header by Brad
Miller off a Lee Marlow comer kick.
New Hampshire then went on to
score four unanswered goals, includ-
ing a hai trick by Mike Keevan.
Bennie Sheally hit the scoring column
for the first time this season also, as
he got an unassisted goal at 8 1 ; 1 5 in
the second half to finish off the scor-
ing for UMass.
The Wildcats ouishoi the
Minutemen 18-12. Steve Baccari had
eight saves in goal for New
Hampshire while Eric Gruber had
five stops for the Minutemen.
UMass now falls to 3-2-1 on the
year, and remains at 3-1- I in
Atlantic 10 Conference games. New
Hampshire improves its record lo
4-2-1.
Up until yesterday's game, the
Minutemen had held opponents to no
more than two goals a game. The 18
shots New Hampshire taken on goal
was also the most an opponent fired
against UMass this season. The
Minutemen have scoa*d a total of 20
goals this season and have given up 1 2
to the competition. They have also out-
shot opponents 1 1 5-96 on the year.
The Minutemen will return to
action this Saturday in what will be
one of. if not the. most important
games of the season, as they will host
the Boston University Terriers at
Richard F. Garber Field at I p.m.

final game, when UConn stepped it up a notch in
crunchtime and eventually prevailed. 1 5-9.
"I just thought we never should have been in the posi-
tion we were in.' Kenny said. "We need to be much more
competitive from beginning to end. And we have the per-
sonnel to do it, we just have to get everybody on the same
page. We've been used to it being easier (in previous
years)."
If nothing else, the match was a good preparation for
when the Mullins Center hosts the NCAA Championships
in December. And Crandall thought that UMass' team will
actually benefit from their defeat.
"I think UMass realized in this match that, they can play
effectively without Giza," she said. "They r«ally matured
tonight."
Minulewomcn notes: Former UMass field hockey coach
and current USA Olympic field hockey coach, Pam Hixon,
was in attendance last night, as was UMass football coach
Mike Hodges... Nash on playing in the Mullins Center and
all of the fans: "It was exciting. I wish we could play here
more often"... Nolan on the same: "Practicing in here this
week kind of got us used to it. But it was fun. Hopefully,
we'll be able to play here in the future."

Kordell Stewart to the draft was

found a gem at OB to replace Stewart
in the form of junior Koy Oetmer.
Ty's younger brother has thrown for
948 yards and eight TDs in the Buffs

offense has performed well for
Neuheisel. the defense may be the

Texas is led by running-backs Priest

Southern Cal at Arizona
Sporii IlluunileJ picked USC to
win it all and the Trojans have lived
up 10 the hype so far. Wide receiver
Kcyshawn lohnson has been on fire
in his first two games. He has hauled
in lb passes at an average of nearly
19 yards per catch, including 176
yards last Saturday. Coach John
Robinson's defense returns a solid
nucleus from last year.
For Arizona, a lack of offense will
doom the Wildcats all season. The
loss of 1.000 yard rusher Onliwaun
Carter leaves a major gap at running
back, and senior QB Dan White sim-
ply does not have the weapons
around him to put points on the
board consistently. This year's ver-
sion on the "Desert Swarm" defense
is led by Lombardi Trophy finalist
Tcdy Bruschi. The Wildcats' can't
hang with USC offensively, that will
be the difference. The Trojans lake

Rachel LeDuc has been an offensive sUr for the Minutewomen in her senior season, leading the team with
1 1 points and five goals.

career and has been dubbed a "big
game scorer" by Rudy. That title
began when she scored the lone goal
in a 1-0 win in a NCAA regional
toumamenl game against UConn.
"In a sense the name is true,
because early I would come in dur-
ing the second half and I would get
goals off the bench." LeDuc said. "I
like scoring the game winners, but I
alsu like setting them up."
So far this season she has
matched her total goal output of
1994. Last season was an off year
but not because of lack of effort.
"She didn't work any less hard
last year." Rudy said of LeDuc play
in 1994. "She spent part of last year
playing with a bad ankle'
"Her goal scoring has brought
relief. Someone was needed to step
up and she has been there to do it."
Rudy said of her production this
year. "She's been opportunistic,
she's pounced on balls, and she's
gotten on things all over the field."
LeDuc- said she knew if she con-
tinued to work hard, things would
work out in the end.
"Lasl year was a slump year for
nie," she said. "I have been working
really hard in the Spring and
Summer to get myself ready and I
feel I was in good shape last year
but this year I ftvl really good."
iieing a senior captain. LeDuc is
someone who is looked to as a
leader on this squad. It is a role she
accepts gladly but knows her team-
mates are capable of being leaders
as well.
'Kvcryunc on this team has quali-
ties of a leader." LeDuc said. "Some
of us have the title of captain, but
we are all caplilln.^ m soiin. wjy."
Losses during the off-vcii>.on of
goal scorers from last year, Melissa
Mitchell and Nicole Roberts, left an
opening for her al the striker posi-
tion to contribute greatly in the goal
scoring colunm.
"Now that she is the big cheese
upfront, there are opportunities that
weren't there k-lore. because she's
up there and active." Rudy said.
"She does more and she's all over
the lield. She's been in the right
place to get the goals, but we aic
not a one person show It's just
worked out thai way to this point.
She is a senior It's her lasl year and
she is not letting anything gel in her
way.
"Knowing Nicole wasn't going to
be up Uip to be the key scorer I
knew I was gomg to have to lake on
some resptinsibijiiies." LeDuc said.
"I feel like I have more room up
there now lo work with Now its my
turn and I think I like thai "
Pulling the ball m the net is not
the only way she is leailing by evam-
ple. Her cominiimeni to do whatev-
er it lakes is a added benefit on the
field, which her coach hopes will
make a lasting impression on some
o( his young and up-and-coming
players.
"She sets a standard ttwt I would
like the freshmen and ihc young
Iront -runners to watch her more
closely." Rudy said. "I think if
they're smart and watch what she
does and hiiw much she docs it.
they'll learn something.
"I ven if she can't gel lo the hall
she will siill jump or slide to impede
the vision or play of the defender.
That could lorce Ihe oppi>sition lo
make a turimver and gel the Ijall
back for the team that way. Fven
when Rachel was a younger player,
her style and commitment Irom
when she came on as a sub rubbetl

This past weekend, as the
Minutewomen preparc-d to play the
second game iif a tournament.
LeDuc and her fellow captain Nikki
Ahrenhol/ saw that the team wasn't

"Before the game, the altitude the

Rachel pulled the team together on

first season, and caughl the eye of
many enthusiasts when they upset
rival Rhode Island in the Atlantic 10
Toumamenl It was a helluva year for
a team that 1 2 months before had no
players and no coach.
"I tell ihem they are the pioneers
of UMass volleyball." Kenny said.
"Kvcry lime they look back they
should reflect on what this program
means. It's an honor."
The Minutewomen continucxJ that
rise in their second H"ason. adding 10
wins to their previous season's mark
to finish the campaign at 27-8. Their
success earned ihem an invitation lo
the National Invilalional Volleyball
Champiunship iNIVC).
"We were ecstatic to get to the
NIVC in only our second year."
Kenny said. "They got to see good
learns. It's unrealistic lo think we're a
linal four team and we're not a top
20 team. Bui we're not far away from
that if we can gel a couple more good
recruiting classes and people stay
tocused."
The success has paid some serious
dividends in lerms of recruiting.
'It has brought immediate
respect," Kenny said. "Our inlcresi
this year has been tremendous from
good players."
To put the program's rise in some
sort ol perspective, volleyball was
reinstated the same year that ice
hockey was revived, and just one year
alter the return ol women's laeivsse.
Uul while joe Mallen and Francesca
McClellan's squads have gone
through the natural growing pains of
a young program. Kenny's crew has
skyrocketed toward national respect.
as the tradition buikJs.
"What would I like the tradition to
be?" Kenny asks herself almost
rhetorically.
"Winning." she said. "Celling bel-
ter every year. We're not practicing
to finish second. The first two years
have taught us how to win."
Kenny is quick lo acknowledge the
success came quicker than she antici
patcxl. but she believes that the next
step will be even more difficult.
"I think we're ahead of schedule."
Kenny said. "But now it's lime for us
to take the next step. When you're
tryiag to get up the iadder and into
the national picture, it's a different
game."
So yesterday volleyball took anoth-
er step. The third-year program faced
off against rival Connecticut in a
building that is the crown jewel of
the University, the William D.
Mullins Center, taking its place
alongside men's and women's basket-
ball, and ice hockey.
"1 think it's neat." Kenny said. "I
think it's a beautiful arena to playin
It makes it a little more of an event. I
think it's nice to be able lo go to the
main arena on campus and be able to
have a big match."
In three years most programs
would be happy just lo have arrived.
Al Massachusetts, a third-year pro-
gram is well on its way lo becoming
an institution.

UM loses match to UConn in Mullins
By Steven Grant
Collegian Staff
It was to be the first ever volleyball
nidtch in the William D. Mullins
Center. Giza Rivera (ankle) and
Rachel Sky (knee) would not be play-
ing due to injuries, and it was to be
the last match (or Massachusetts to
prepare for its Atlantic- 10 schedule
tomorrow.
So with all the commotion sur-
rounding last night's volleyball match
between the Minuiewomen and the
Connecticut Lad> Huskies, many
could have easily forgot the fact that
there was a match to be played.
The two teams involved in the
Reebok/UMass-UConn Challenge
certainly did not fall into that catego-
ry. Before a crowd of 831. UConn
won the match, defeating UMass 3-2.
(15-12. 15-8. 12-15. 14-16. 9-15).
The Huskies and Minutewomen put
on a show which actually equalled, if
not surpassed, all the pre-match
hype.
Down rwo games to none. UMass
rallied after the intermission to take
the next two nail-biters, only to come
up short in the final game. Coming
out of the break, the change in the
Minutewomen 's play was significant
and necessary. UMass coach Bonnie
Kenny claimed it was not due to any
pep talk, though.
"I didn't have to say much," Kenny
said afterward in the post-game press
conference. "They had to make up
their minds and play like they wanted
to play in this place."
"In the first two games. I didn't
think UMass thought they could
win." UConn coach Ellen Crandall
said. "We capitalized on their emo-
tions. In that third game, we showed
them that they could win. and from
then on it was a dogfight."
Lesley Nolan played outstanding
for the Minutewomen. The sopho-
more tallied a match-high 25 kills to
go along with a team-high of 2 1 digs.
Nolan was clearly a force from begin-
ning to end.
"I thought [Lesley! did an excellent
job carrying the team." Kenny said.
"It's unfortunate we haven't had
Rivera. Nolan and (Dionne) Nash all
playing like Nolan did tonight."
"I was thinking |the game) was
going to be tough." Nolan said. "I
knew I'd have to step up my passing
and hitting."
Also playing well for UMass were
Nash (16 kills. 13 digs). Leslie
Hartlen (nine kills. It digs) and
Susan Maga (10 kills. 10 digs).
Game four proved to be the most
exciting. UMass (6-5) remained close
the entire game, before evening the
match at 12-12 after trailing. 12-9.
From here. UConn (6-5) countered
to make it 14-12. and were one kill
away from taking the match. But
fueled by the serving of Maga and the
deadly arm of Nolan. UMass stormed
right back with four unanswered
points to force a fifth game.
When the match started, the
Minutewomen didn't seem to be on
the same page. Unaggressiveness.
poor blocking and occasional sloppy
play led to the 15-12 game one loss.
Nolan, however, was the exception,
as she tallied six kills in the opener.
Husky |en Halusek also made her
presence felt early by registering five
kills. Halusek would go on to finish
the match with 24 kills and 1 3 digs.
The second game was never really
close, with UConn coming out on
top. 15-8. Kenny's timeout with the
score 8-2 didn't have any effect, as
the Lady Huskies immediately ran
the score up to 14-3. Hartlen and
Nash both made some great kills to
boost the team's score up to eight,
but it was too little, too late. UConn
was playing excellent volleyball and
capitalized on UMass' mistakes.
Simply put. they were often able to
put the ball where the Minutewomen
were not.
Game three was a turning point in
the match, as UMass came out
aggressively, much to UConn's sur-
prise. The Lady Huskies seemed to
have been thrown a curve, combined
with the fact that they. were a team
up 2-0.
But it wasn't exactly a breeze for
UMass. The game looked over at
14-5 in favor of UMass, and the
Minutewomen. down two games,
may have decided to play it a bit con
servative. Soon it was 14-8. and
Kenny called a timeout — another
unsuccessful one — because after a
UConn ace made it 14-11. Kenny
had to call time again. The Lady
Huskies mustered one last point
before finally succumbing. 15-12.
Neither team could really pull
away until about halfway through the

Before Massachusetts volleyball coach Bonnie
Kenny walked into her first practice in the inaugur-
al/rctum 1993 season, she was scared.
The thought kept going through
her mind. "What if there aren't
enough players to field a team?"
While the walk-on tryouts were
not overwhelming. Kenny's worst
fear was not realized. Eighteen play-
ers tried out that first practice, and eight eventually
made the roster.
"That was the scary part. We kept everyone that
could serve the ball over the net overhand." said
Matt
Vautour
Kenny, who examined what it takes to build a new
program. "You need patience, support of the
administration, personnel..."
So the first step of the retum was
in place. Even though a team was in
place, there were still questions.
How good could a team of a cou-
ple recruits, a transfer and a bunch
of walk-ons really be?
Not too bad. as it turned out
The early going was better than expected. The
team moved into the cozy confines of Curry Hicks
Cage, where it began to draw a minor following
The Minutewomen dropped their first two matches
on the roiid. but rallied to win five in a row. With
the men's basketball team migrating to the Mullins

people to our Il)alche^ once." Kenny said. "I don't

Offensive fireworks
causing big debate
Welcome to the wild world of college football,
where offense fireworks were the calling card last
week. No. 1 Florida State and No. 2 Nebraska each
posted 77 points No. 3 Texas A&M rolled for 52.
No. 4 Florida lit a capable Tennessee team for 62.
and Penn State scored 66 points against the lowly
Temple Owls
The blowouts
witnessed last
week have inten-
sified the debate
around the
country concern-
ing teams run-
ning up the
score. There has been a lot of complaining the top
teams are running up the score in an attempt to
impress the pollsters and improve poll position.
What can one expect? The current polling system
has such a direct impact on the Bowl Alliance and
the National Championship
Coaches are being forced into blowing teams out
to impress pollsters and gel that shot at the
ever-elusive National Championship. The simple
fact is these early season blowouts have been a part
of collegiate football for years, and will continue to
be until a playoff system is developed and adopted
for Division 1-A. End of discussion.
Despite last week's laughers, there were some
quality games played. None better than the
LSU- Auburn game. Hals off to the LSU Tigers. The
Tigers lost a tough ball game to Auburn last year.
30 2b. a game in which quarterback lamie Howard
threw six interceptions and blew the game for his
learn. Redemption was sweet for Howard last
Saturday as he and his team downed Terry
Bowden's club. 12-6. Auburn only mustered 274
total yards of offense and two field goals. LSU
jumps into the AP Top 25 Poll at No. 18.
Not much has changed in this week's AP Poll.
Florida St. holds the top spot again this week.
Nebraska. Texas A&M. Florida and Southern Cal
round out the Top 5.
This week's schedule looks to provide some inter-
esting matchups, here's a look.

Tulsii last week. McKlroy is averaging 322 yards in
total offense in the Aggies' first two games. Senior

Mack verbally commits
By Molt Vautour
Collegian Staff
With the guard core looking thin
for the 1995-96 season, the
Massachusetts men's basketball team
has already made an addition fur the
1996-97 campaign.
The Minutemen have received a
verbal commitment from Monte
Mack, a 6-foot-2-inch guard. Mack
led South Boston High with 23.2
points. 8.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists
en route to spearheading his team to
the City Championship and the
Division 1 State Championship.
Mack has not taken his SATs yet
and will take them for the first time
in October.
The news of his announcement was
timely, as Mack turned 18 yesterday.
• • •
Massachusetts coach John Calipari
is reportedly also chasing one of the
top junior college players in the
nation. Ruben Patterson, a
6-foot-8-inch small forward, is a
Cleveland native, but is currently
playing at Independence junior
College in Independence. Kan. He
reportedly became interested in com-
ing to UMass after being coached by
Calipari at this summer's Olympic
Festival.
Rich Allen, the co-owner and edi-
tor of Reidel's Roundball Review,
described Patterson as a complete
player who can rebound and run the
floor, as well as shcxrt three pointers.
Patterson has reportedly also made a
campus visit already.
The buzz during last season was
that UMass was in the running for
talented then-juniors Tim Thomas
and Shaheen Holloway. The New
lersey duo had ^expressed interest in
going to the same school and are still
considering that option. UMass
remains in the hunt for their services.
but Thomas (North Carolina) and
Holloway (Syracuse. California) are
also exploring separate options us
well...

Field hockey loses third straight
By Matt Vautour
Collegian Staff
Hard times continued for the Massachusetts field hockey
team as the Minutewomen dropped their third straight
game yesterday, this time to Yale 1-0 at New Haven. Conn.
Coming off two straight losses against No. 1 North
Carolina and then No. 3 Old Dominion, the
Minutewomen were hoping to get back in the win column
against unranked Yale.
The loss drops Massachusetts to 2-5 on the year.
Offensive trouble has been prevalent for the
Minutewomen and yesterday was no exception, as UMass
was shutout for the fifth time this season.
Betsy Hagmer scored the only goal of the game at 1 5:06
of the first half, as she beat Stacy Walker.
Despite wearing a knee brace. Walker was able to make
1 1 saves in the game. Walker has been playing with limit-
ed mobility since injuring her leg prior to last Saturday's
2-0 loss to Old Dominion.
Yale goalkeeper Leslie Frieder made seven saves en
route to her third shutout of the season. Yale held an
1 1-5 advantage in penalty comers, as well.
"Yale was up for this game." said Massachusetts coach
Megan Donnelly. "They played out of their minds. They
ran us all over the field."
While frustrated. Donnelly isn't counting her squad
out.
"This is UMass field hockey and we will be back."
Donnelly said.
The Minutewomen retum to action Saturday when they
take on rival Temple at 1 p.m. al Totman Field. The game
will hold extra bitterness for Massachusetts us the
Minutewomen's loss to Temple in the Atlantic 10 Finals
last year started a chain reaction that eventually left
Massachusetts snubbed from the NCAA tournament.
Hard work pays off for LeDuc
By Justin C. Smitft
Collegian Staff
It was a cold, damp Friday
evening. Richard F. Garber Field was
a slick patch of grass that made play-
ing soccer a little more treacherous
than usual. It wasn't the best of con-
ditions for the fans but it was Rachel
LeDuc type weather.
Many players may have not been as
up for a game in such dreary condi-
tions, but not LeDuc. She didn't shy
away from one ball all game long,
including the one she knocked in the
George Washington net for the win-
ning score.
When she left the field for her
team meeting and to talk to
reporters, she was covered with grass
stains and mud. She truly left herself
on the field just as she was taking the
field home with her.
Her true grit and determination is
noticed by her coach |im Rudy.
"Rachel LeDuc epitomizes UMass
women's soccer." Rudy said, "which
is blue collar, hard working style. She
plays so hard and is all out for so
long and is such a hard worker. She
doesn't take it easy. She doesn't take
it slow. It's just all out for her."
That particular game was the first
really tough game against a rival and
meant a lot to win for her. She would
do anything and everything it look to
get the "W."
"I wanted to play defense and pro-
tect the lead." LeDuc said. "Because
we were up a goal and we needed to
protect the lead."
"Definitely, I plav an aggressive
style. I am not a pretty, skillful
finesse player. That is what 1 am best
at. an aggressive type of game." she
said.
LeDuc has five of UMass' six goals
this season, three of them game win-
ners. She has eight total for her

to one in post-season. Seeing the Sox clinch the
American League Kasi is the next best thing. That is
if they won, or the New Ytirk Yankees lost.
• lohn Valentin is a solid shortstop who does not
get the recognition he deserves. Valentin has 25
homeruns this season, and is the only Red Sox play-
er to score 100 runs in one season, in the 1990s. Mo
Vaughn is paid to put up the numbers he has. but
the real MVP of the Sox this season is Valentin. It
angers me when 1 hear fans sav he will be traded
because 1994 first-round draft pick Nomar
Garciaparra is ready for the bigs. Has Valentin not
already established himself as the Red Sox shortstop
of the future? It would be in General Manager Dan
Duquette's best interest to package Garciaparra
with another prospect and get u starter to bolster
next year's pitching staff.
• "Three words: New lersey Yankees.
• Los Angeles Dodger catcher Mike Piazza was
beuned by a pitch Tuesday night and was diagnosed
with a contusion of the hand. If Piazza, who has 30
homeruns and is batting close to .360. goes down, it
is safe to say the Dodgers go down as well. Pitcher
Hideo Nomo will not know what to do without his
battery male. A team cannot lose their most feared
hitter and expect to win ball games.
• A Dodger exit means the Colorado Rockies
clinch for post season. Speaking of the Rockies.
Andres Galarraga went deep for the 30lh time this
season. Tliat makes four Rockies with 30 or more

Sherry H. Penney, the interinn Univefjity of Massachusetts president, addresses the Faculty Senate in Herter Hall
yesterday afternoon.
Numerous faculty protestors,
chanting and carrying hand- made
picket signs, again gathered outside
Herter Hall yesterday afternoon
before the Faculty Senate meeting.
The difference this time, however,
was the presence of interim president
Sherry H. Penney, who was sched
uled to address the Senate.
Lining the back and side walls of
the auditorium, the protesting faculty
held their signs in clear view.
"First rate faculty, third rate pay?
Co figure?." "We deserve leadership
now." "Raises (equal) Respect" and
"Hey. Hey. what d'ya say - fund our
contract right away* were some of
the slogans written on the signs.
Despite being faced with this
opposition. Penney opened the ses-
sion with congratulatory remarks on
some of the recent achievements at
the University of Massachusetts.
She went on to discus.s the impor

Navratilova, Pallone to speak at Mullins
By Wendy Darting
Collegian Staff
Tennis great Martina Navratilova and former
professional baseball umpire Dave Pallone are
scheduled to speak at the University of
Mas.sachusetts Oct. 1 1.
Navratilova and Pallone will appear at the
William D. Mullins Center for what the
Chancellor's Office terms a "candid dialogue."
Modeled on an event last year that featured
Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wicsel and poet
Maya Angelou. "Fair Play* is designed to high-
light issues of gender and sexual orientation in
sports.
The speakers will be introduced by Patricia
Griffin, a UMass associate professor of education
who has written and conducted workshops on
homophobia in sports.
Having also done work with programs for gays
and lesbians in public school, Griffin was drawn
into the project when she found out that
Navratilova was interested in speaking to local high
school students.
According to Griffin, "(Navratilova and Pallone]
have some unique experiences, since there are so
few gays and lesbians in athletics who are out."
Griffin added that the discussion will probably
be "not just about sports, but some of the implica-
tions outside of sports," including social justice in
the world at large.
Navratilova •» player and activHt
Navratilova. whose 161 career singles titles out-
number those of any male or female tennis player,
has been increasingly visible in the battle for gay.
lesbian and bisexual rights.
In 1993 she addressed a crowd of thousands at
the March on Washington, held to support GLB
rights and to pressure the Clinton administration to
end the ban on gays in the military.
In a 1994 interview with the GLB magazine Out.
Navratilova called the March experience the "best
three days of my life." She also told Out that prior
to speaking at the March, "I had really felt alienat-
ed from the United Stales of Ronald Reagan and
George Bush. The gay movement made me feel like
I do belong."
Navratilova first began to be more open about
her lesbianism in the early 1990s, while she was
still an active player in professional tennis. She
retired in 1994, when she was ranked at No. 4.
Pallone, who served 10 years as a major league
baseball umpire, is the author of a recent book titled
Behind the Mask: My Double Life in Baseball
Pallone was forced to resign from his position as
a National League umpire after it became known
that he is gay.
Neither Navratilova nor Pallone have ever partic-
ipated in an event with a format as open as that of
"Fair Play," said Griffin, and UMass may be the
only place they ever do so.
However, noted Griffin, both are scheduled to
appear on the television show Ltirry ^'i>ig U\e the
nighl before, whcTC they are expectc-d lu give a pre-
view of their discussion.
Oucsiions encouraged
According lo Derick Chceseboro-Weaver. a
member of the coordinating committee for the
event, "Fair Play* will be informal and even inter-
active, allowing Navratilova and Pallone to speak
their minds and answer questions.
People who would like to pose questions lo the
speakers arc invited to drop by the Mullins
Center Box Office or the Chancellor's Office in
the Whitmorc Administration Building.
Questions handed in by Oct 6 will be examined
by a committee from the Chancellor's Office and
passed on to Navratilova and Pallone during a
question and answer session moderated by Griffin.
Scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. on Oct. 1 1, "Fair
Play" coincides with National Coming Out Day, a
nationwide celebration in which gays, lesbians and
bisexuals demonstrate pride at being able to be
honest about their sexual orientation.
Tickets have been available since Sept. 1 1. Student
tickets are $5. and non-student tickets ivst $10 or
$20. depending on which seition the seals are in.

Mayer says more Israeli multinationalism needed
By Laura Schmidt
Collegion Staff
The possibility of multinationalism
in Israel was discussed at the first lec-
ture of the Mt. Hulyoke College
1995-96 colloquium series Tuesday
night.
Keynote speaker Tamar Mayer,
received her Ph.D. from the
University of Wisconsin, Madison
and is currently collecting research
from Middlebury College.
Mayer, a former lieutenant in the
Israeli army, focused on why
"national security" can no longer be
used to justify the disenfranchisc-
meni of Israeli Arabs and Jewish
women.
"The nation state of Israel has been
shaped by an obsession with national
security. National security has
rewarded almost exclusively those
who participated in the country's
security mission, namely Israeli lews
and more specifically Israeli Jewish
men, said Mayer.
lewish women are drafted only to
the demographic war of mother-
hood. They arc encouraged to have
children. It is their job," said
Mayer.
She also explained that the military
is so connected to life in Israel that
whatever is learned in the army is
carried through to civil society,
including domestic violence.
'Men yield very little when
attempting to settle disputes, so they
defend themselves through the only
way they know how, through vio-
lence,' said Mayer.
Arabs also Discriminated Against
Israeli women are not the only per-
sons who are discriminated against in
Israel in Mayer's view.
The Israeli Arabs, who according
to Mayer, have equally been discrimi-
nated against as they have been
denied an entry into politics, thus
denying them industrial jobs.
'There are specific political and
economic measures that have basi-
cally limited the access of Israeli
Palestinians to process safe building
of infrastructure. Because of this,
there is little development in Arab
villages, especially when compared
to Jewish towns in Israel," said
Mayer.
'It is all tied into the army. The
Israeli Arabs are denied access to the
military, thus denying them further
access to positions of jobs or power,"
said Mayer.
She continued to explain that this
denial of jobs leads to problems with
the infrastructure of Israel, such as
essential, everyday necessities as run-
ning water and food.
Solutions For Israel
Mayer said she believes Israel
should engage in serious discussions
of its political future, before a politi-
cal and social breakthrough or revo-
lutionary war mobilizes.
She said the state also needs to
invest in infrastructure, such as
building and improving the Israeli
Arab villages.
"There now arc intentional poli-
cies which have helped the develop-
ment of lewish communities while
allowing the development of the
Arab communities to lag behind.
This needs to be re-examined." said
Mayer.
"I hope It will not be a war which
infiucnccs a change, but a peaceful
movement." said Mayer.
Seminar enables people to learn about charity gift giving
By Manfredi Giammanco
Collegion Correspondent
NORTHAMPTON — A seminar on charitable
gift planning was held Wednesday at Cooley
Dickinson Hospital for representatives of
non-profit organizations and the public at large.
Entitled 'Reaching Your Family and Personal
Goiris Through Charitable Gift Planning." the semi-
nar was held "to educate the community and insti-
tutions, and to help people do what they want with
Imoneyj" said the organizer. Allen Davis.
Davis, the director of development at the hospi-
tal, added that Cooley Dickinson receives and relies
on both yearly contributions and wills.
"We're also interested in promoting this in other
organizations," he said. "Because people who make
these contributions often want to make contribu-
tions to other charities."
Gerald Gabriel, a speaker at the seminar who
works for Charitable Support Services in Hadley,
said there were two main ideas inspiring the seminar.
"One is that major donors usually donate to
more than one organization," he said. "It seems
worthwhile to spread this around, to make it a
community effort. And then, gift planning is an
idea whose lime has to come."
Planned giving is a way of encouraging people to
commit some kind of capital to a charity in return
for economic benefits. Benefits include, depending
on the plan chosen, immediate tax breaks for the
contributors, and a way to avoid inheritance taxes.
Currently, the lax rale on inheritances over $3
million dollars is 55 percent, making planned giv-
ing a good choice for wealthy citizens who wrish to
give money to a charity.
The seminar was held by Frank Logan, a former
director of the planned giving program at
Darimoulh College.
During his 20 years at Dartmouth, $200 million
was raised in planned gifts, making it one of the
most successful programs in the nation. Now
retired from college life. Logan travels around the
country giving seminars.
"Mostly these seminars arc held to advise people
on these opportunities." he said. "Five to ten years
ago people were unaware of gift planning*
Robert Grose, in attendance on behalf of the
Amherst Historical Society, said he fell it was a
valuable experience.

arc not taught to us. and we need to pick it up some-
where.* he said. 'We need professional help for our
lectures and programs. We need to find the funds."

"I can't discuss the details of that,
but we're hopeful for a resolution."
Penney said when asked about the
faculty contract. "We are back at the
table and the Trustees and I are hope-
ful that we will get the supplemental
budget so you can get the long -await
cd pay raises."
"I know you haven't had that pay
raise in two years atKl we've spent a
lot of 'ime working on that." Penney
said.
Protesting faculty were dissatis-
fied with her response and voiced
their concerns about the issue.
Individual faculty members argued
iheir points, which al times attacked
Penney.
One protestor said that unless
Penney fired herself, "she would not
have gone far enough."
Deborah Carlin. an associate pro-
fessor in the English department,
referred to the faculty as "demoral-
ized, enraged and frustrated."
"The one thing you can give us
that we need more than anything else
is leadership." John Nelson, a profes-
sor in the English dcparlnient. said
to Penney. "We ask of you leader-

Father battles DSS
for children s custody
By Amy H. Poradysz
ColUgion Staff
NORTHAMPTON - Gary
Moise, a foster parent for 1 5 years
and adoptive parent of four, stood
in from of the Department of
Social Services (DSS) yesterday
morning holding a sign that read,
"DSS discriminates against
fathers."
Two years ago, Moise and his
ex-wife. Annclle, filed for a
divorce. Today, Gary Moise is
granted 1 5-and-a-half hours of
visitation rights per week with his
foster sons Christopher and
Edward, aged 14 and 18.
"... I believe that jAnnctiej suc-
cessfully coaxed DSS employees
lames Plante and Katherine
Wakely into revoking my foster
parent status for Christopher and
Eddie..." wrote Gary Moise in a
letter about his hearing.
Although both Moiscs know
many DSS employees from their
years foster parenting together,
Gary says thai Annette and
Wakely, Christopher and
Edward's supervising social work-
er, were close personal friends.
However, it v/as Plante, the family
resource supervi.sor who made ihe
ultimate decision about the par-
enting rights.
Annclle Moise refused lo com-
ment.
Paula Tucker, the area director
of Ihe Greenfield- Northampton
office of the State Department of
Social Services, said that there is
an impoundment order on this
case that makes it impossible for
DSS lo comment on the decision.
Tucker said that parental rights
are delermincd "in the best interest
of the children... based on as.sess-
mcnls of parents and children."
According lo Gary Moise's
lawyer, Attorney Marilyn Schmidt.
"DSS regulations don't encompass
the children having any input."
In regards to the parenting
schedule. Schmidt said. "I would
hope that in making decisions on
a day-to-day basis, that DSS
would consult older, more mature
children."
"Kids need fathers, not visitors"
Annette Moise accused her hus-
band of "emotional abuse" and
thus was able to get a vacate order
to remove him from their marital
home, according lo Gary Moise.
When asked why Annellc
would make such an accusation,
Moise explained thai during the
last ten years of their marriage the
Moises never kissed, although
they did have sexual relations.
ludge Mary Lyons in Greenfield
approved the vacate order.
in the beginning, Gary Moise
was granted the 15-and-a- half
hours of visitation rights with the
boys. Then, he was given split cus-
tody for a brief period of lime,
until notified he was back on the
original visitation schedule
"This is a very unnatural situa-
tion to place children and parents
in,' said Moisc, who has a "Kids
need fathers, not visitors" bumper
sticker on his briefcase.
The boys' older sister, Mary
Hardsley, 21, was adopted by the
Moises. "They went out of their
way to lake my brothers into the
home so I could be with them,"
she said.
At the lime, Christopher was
removed from another foster
home. Edward came from an
orphanage.
"Every situation is different,"
said Bardsley. "In this situation,
the boys have made it clear to
DSS that they want the same
schedule as the other children still
living at home. TTiey feel left out*
'Every major problem we have
in our society with children has to
do with the break up of the fami-
ly,* said David Fillion, a demon
strator from Concerned Fathers of
Massachusetts. "I'm not saying
mothers arc bad. I'm saying chil-
dren need two parents."
One of the two foster sons has
fetal alcohol syndrome and alien
lion deficit disorder. The other
was arrested for being "abusive
around the house," according to
Gary Moise.
""Thc^ can say one home is bet-
ter than two homes, but one home
means one parent." he said.
"Courts automatically assume
the mother is the custodial par-
ent," said Fillion.
The family unit
According to a letter Moise
wrote to DSS. "Mr. Plante did not
make 'every reasonable effort lo
encourage and assist families lu
use available resources lu maintain
the family unit intact,'* Moise was
quoting from DSS's statement of
philosophy and principles.
According to Schmidt, Gary
Moise's lawyer. "The litigation
involves how they handled Ihc
case two years ago, whether it was
consistent with |DSSj policies or
not consistent with policies.'
Yesterday, the Moise's adopted
daughter, stood with a few other
demonstrators, including Maryann
Woodbury, Moise's live-in girl-
friend, who has known the family
for two-and-a- half years.
'Gary is pretty open about
doing this," she said. 'He has
nothing to hide.*
Bardsley moved out after her
eighteenth birthday, but lives near
both adoptive parents.
In a letter dated Nov, 15. 199 J,
she wrote, 'Please don't deny my
brothers the same thing I experi-
enced."

"Demographic changes and dras-
tic increases in tuition and fees had
a real impact on enrollments at
UMass campuses," the report stat-
ed. "With increased state support
and a stabilized tuition and fee pic-
ture, enrollments have begun to
recover."
Other statistics include compar-
isons of UMass to other colleges
and universities in the state. The
report indicated 'UMass is the
leader in baccalaureate education
of Massachusetts residents" and "is
one of the state's major suppliers
of doctorally trained individuals.'
"In (fiscal year| 1993. UMass
ranked third in total research and
development expenditures for sci-
ence and engineering in
Massachusetts and within the top
100 universities nationally." the
report stated.
In addition to this, Penney also
commented on several other key
points throughout her speech,
including financial aid issues.
She referred to the financial aid
issue as a "disaster for our stu-
dents" and made reference to the
financial aid conference scheduled
for Friday. Penney said on her
agenda is to meet and talk with
approximately 200 students in
regards to the issue.
"As a former Chancellor, do you
realize that I've had to work with
four different presidents in seven
years?" Penney asked in conclu-
sion. "And adjust to each one of
them and figure out what they were
going to do this week or next
week? So. I'm particulaHy sensitive
to the role that the president's
office wants to play with the cam-
puses. Our job ought to be to facili-
tate things that work well among
the campuses."
Canada smokes ad restrictions
Supreme Court stikes doum law about tobacco advertising
By Dovid Crory
AsxKialed Press
TORONTO — In a stunning victory for tobacco com-
panies, the Supreme Court struck down the law at the
heart of Canada's anti-smoking movement, ruling
Thursday that a ban on tobacco advertising violated free
expression.
In a 5-4 ruling, the high court said the sweeping
Tobacco Products Control Act of 1988. which banned
almost all advertising of tobacco products, was unconsti-
tutional.
Limited restrictions on tobacco ads are permissible, but
a comprehensive ban improperly prohibits a manufacturer
from communicating with customers about a legal prod-
uct, the majority opinion said.
Although elated by the decision, tobacco industry offi-
cials decided on a measured response. They said they
would voluntarily continue to honor the ban pending con-
sultations with the government on which restrictions to
maintain and which to lift.
"The one thing I know for certain: there will be adver
tising of some kind, by tobacco companies aimed at their
customers — people who have already decided to smoke."
said Robert Parker, a spokesman for the Canadian
Tobacco Manufacturers Council.
Canada's health minister. Diane Marleau. said the
government needed time to study the ruling before mak-
ing a detailed response, but made clear that tobacco
companies still faced pressure "40.000 people a year die
as a direct result of smoking." she said. "We're going to
continue to fight this... that what health ministers are
for."
Canada's smoking industry agre-ed to withdraw tobacco
ads from radio and television in the 1970s, but challenged
the 1988 ban that also barred print and billboard ads.
Two major companies. RJR-Macdonald and Imperial
Tobacco, have been fighting since 1988 to overturn the
law. They won a favorable Ouebec Superior Court rul-
ing in 1991, then turned to the Supreme Court of
Canada when a Quebec appeals court overturned the
decision.
Anti-smoking activists were aghast at the death of a law
viewed as a model for other nations and spoke bitterly ot
the tobacco companies' pugnacity.
"They are unmatched in terms of their resources and
lack of ethics, in terms of any sense of responsibility for
the hideous numbers of deaths they cause every day."
said Dr. Andrew Pipe of Physicians for a Smoke Free
Canada.
Some anil-smoking activists said they would lobby the
federal government to declare tobacco a dangerous sub
stance.
"Can we as a society go back to atime of tobacco bill
boards around the schools?" asked David Sweanor. a
lawyer for the Non-Smoker's Rights Association. "Why
are we treating this product so differently than any other
hazardous product, any other drug?"
The court ruling said the government could no longer
require manufacturers to print unattributed health warn
ings on cigarette packs. Parker, of the tobacco council,
said the industry and the government would discuss the
wording of new warnings.
"The right we've been fighting for is not the right to
advertise with no restrictions whatever," Parker said. "It's
the right to communicate with our customers."
According to government statistics, about 30 pcreent of
Canadians over 15 smoke. Parker said this rate has
remained stable over the past 10 years despite new restric-
tions on smoking.

High speeds may soon be legal
By Carolyn Tttompson
Ajiocioted Press
BOSTON — It appears
Massachusetts drivers, never ones to
pay much attention lu traffic ruiek
anyway, will soon have license to
drive 65 mph legally on many of the
stale's roadways. Gov. William K.
Weld said Thursday.
A day after the U.S. House of
Representatives joined the Senate iti
voting to let slates end the '>'> mph
limit. Weld said he saw no reason not
to ease limits in Massachusetts.
"If the roads can lake it and it's
not a safety factor, then I say why
not?" Weld said.
The Republican said there have
been no problems since the
Legislature raised the speed limit on
rural portions of the Massachusetts
''irnpike three years ago, and that
Western Massachusetts residents
have been "wildly cnlhusiasiic" about
the change.
The 55 mph limit was enacted by
Congress in 1974 as an energy saving
measure. A 65 mph maximum is
allowed on rural interstates.
A state police study released in
lune found that, since the speed limit
was raised on the Turnpike from the
New York border to Weslfield and
from Ludlow to Auburn at Lxil 10.
the number of personal injury acci-
dents has risen slightly, while fatali-
ties have stayed about the same.
There were three fatal accidents in
those areas during 1991. the year
before the speed limit was raised. In
1992. the first year of the change,
there were four. In both 1995 and
1994. there were two fatals. accord-
ing to the report. There has been an
average of 9i personal injury acci-
dents per year since 1992. There
were 8b in 1991 . the study found.
Kevin |. Sullivan, deputy commis-
sioner of the Massachusetts Highway
Department, said the additional road-
ways to be convened were chosen
because they were designed for

speeds of 65 and higher artd because
most people already drive faster than
55 on them anyway.
The Highway Department has been
testing speeds with radar throughout
the year, he said, and has found that
85 pcaeni of drivers travel in the 65
mph range.
He predicted the 15 percent who
drive faster will be more easily spot-
"ted by police officers enforcing the
new limit. While opponents of higher
speed limits cite safety concerns,
Sullivan said getting drivers to travel
at more uniform speeds would
decrease accidents.
"If there is a K) mileper-hour dif-
ferential — if somebody is driving 45
on the same road someone is driving
75 — there is 10 times more chance
of an accident." he said.
Hut Inta Hall, a founder of the
Massachusetts Brain Injury
Association, disagreed.
"You cannot react quickly enough.
You cannot avoid things. There's so
many safety issues involved in speed-
ing." she said.
"Is this the way we're going to con-
trol health care costs'.' "To lei every-
one crash at high speeds so they can-
not survive and require long-term
care?" she said.

including parts of 1-84. 1-95, 1-95. I-

Weld and Sullivan said the new lim-
its would lake effect as soon as the

that includes the speed limit provi-

Department holds b^day party
By Constance Kowtna
Colleglon Cofejpondent
Last Wednesday, the Women Studies Department held
a "Welcome Back" Reception for students and faculty in
their new student lounge in Bartlelt 208A from 5:50 to 5
p.m. The reception celebrated the department's 21 years
of existence at UMass.
"This lounge is a wonderful idea," said Ann Ferguson,
the new director of women studies. "Students will be able
to make better connections among themselves. It's impor-
tant for the students to have a common place, because
students have different focuses and connect to different
departments."
At the infoimal reception people mingled while they
enjoyed the food and drinks provided. The gathering indi-
cated that a warm sense of community has already begun
to form as the faculty and students conversed amongst
themselves.
During the reception. Ferguson arrived with a birthday
cake and everyone participated in singing "Happy
Birthday* to the Women Studies Department. Former
Director. Lee Edwards, who is now Dean of Humanities
and Fine Arts, had the honor of blowing out the candles.
Special attention was given to new faculty members
Alex Deschamps and Rence Heberle, who were welcomed
to the department.
"Working with this department is very exciting." said
Heberle. "I think that it will be an exciting year where we
can consolidate curricular changes and change in terms of
the community in the department.
The main goals are to help majors and minors to get to
know each other and to have faculty have more contact
with students."
Students within the department have been expressing
the need for a lounge for many years. The Women's
Studies Department Secretary. Linda Hillenbrand,
worked diligently to rearrange the faculty offices so that
the department would have the needed space. Student
volunteers Carta l^uranzano and Nicole Larace agreed to
organize and staff the lounge.
The lounge will be an area where students can have
study groupis and talk about current issues. The lounge
has a variety of research books, and a computer with a
printer. A television. VCR and sofa are all due to arrive
shortly.
Holiday conflicts can plague students
By Jacob W. Michaels
Collegian Staff
Michele Issokson is planning on
skipping her first "fairly significant"
quiz of the semester and she's not
happy about it.
She will not be attending her
Introduction to Biology class at Smith
College because Monday is Rosh
Hashana, the Jewish New Year. She
will be attending religious services
while the rest of her classmates take
the quiz.
Acn>ss the country, many lewish stu-
dents have the same problem. They
must make the choice of missing class-
es to celebrate the holklay or skipping
the holidays so they don't fall behind
While state laws require universi-
ties to provide make-up work and
exams for students who miss classes
due to religious purposes, this
doesn't satisfy all students.
Issokson. who goes to school at
Smith, said it was frustrating that she
will miss the exam because. "I have
to make it up on my own lime which
shouldn't have to happen, and
because there's a review right before
the quiz and I'll have to miss it."
According to her professor. Dr.
Richard Briggs. the quiz was sched-
uled on Rosh Hashana because he
misread the calendar when he was
assembling the syllabus and thought
the holiday started on Monday night,
not Sunday night.
Issokson was also worried that the
make-up exam might be harder than
the original, however Briggs said he
would give students the exact same
test when they do the make-up.
Even so. Issokson said she didn't
even think about going lo classes and
skipping religious services because
"that's what lews do on the High
Holidays. That's where I belong."
She said she felt guilty when she
chose to go to classes, instead of ser-
vices, last year.
"I didn't go because I thought I'd
miss loo much in class and be
behind." she explained.
Larry Goldbaum, the coordinator
for lewish Affairs, said he didn't yet
know of any lewish students at ihe
University of Massachusetts having
problems due lo classes on Rosh
Hashana.
"I haven't spoken to anybody who
has fuid problems." he said. "I know
from past years thai students have
had problems... If there are prob-
lems. |students| can go to depart-
ment heads or the ombudsman's
office.
There will he sex-eral religious ser-
vicea held for Koih Hashana.
Chabad House will he holding ser-
vices on Sunday ai 7 p m.. Monday
at 10 am and 7 p m., and Tuesday
al 10 am. Hillel House will have ser-
vices in the Student Union Ballroom
at 7 p.m. on Sunday. 10 am and 7

Tuesday. Call either Hillel or Chabad

Student debts may overwhelm
due to increasing college costs
By Sally Sireff BwzbM
AsKxtotod Pr«»5
WASHINGTON — More American students and their
parents arc taking on debt — and more of it — to pay for
college, a study said Thursday.
Borrowing for college has jumped 50 percent since
.1992. from $16 billion to an estimated S24 billion in
1995. according to The F.ducation Resources Institute, a
Boston-based non-profit group that provides information
about college aid.
The growing loan volume, if it continues, could hurl
not only students and their families but the economy as a
whole by limiting their buying and saving power, the
study said.
"We're trying lo build awareness among consumers and
in Congress that this could be a problem." said Ted
Freeman, the institute's president.
In part. Ihe increase results from good news -— more
people are going to college, including increasing numbers
of minority students. But college costs also have grown,
while federal grants have remained mostly static.
In addition, changes in federal laws two years ago
allowed students lo borrow more, and made more stu-
dents and parents eligible to borrow under the federal
guaranteedloan program.
College debt still accounts for a small fraction of all
debt Americans take on. and thus not necessarily a cause
for concern, some economists say.
"For a lot of people, it's the only thing to do, so they do
it." said David Wyss, chief financial economist for market
analysts DRI/McGraw Hill of Lexington, Mass. "What's
the alternative? If you don't go to college, you're stuck in
today's world."
Bui Freeman cautioned that students may lake on too
much debt because of inexperience, leading lo defaults.
Surveys by the American Council on luJucation indicate
some students don't understand their loan commitments,
said ACF spokesman Dave Merkowitz.
"Some didn't realize they would have to pay the loans
, hack." Merkowitz said "And even tfiose who did under-
stand fell they had no choice but to lake a calculated
risk."
Chad Griffin, 22, a junior at Georgetown University, is
among students taking such a calculated risk The
Arkadelphia. Ark., student doesn't qualify for basic grants
from the government. His schoolteacher mother and high
school principal stepfather have ihrcc children in college,
and a fourth soon to enroll. Griffin already has $52,UOU in
loans — mostly government-guaranteed — and expects
more his senior year. He also works.
After college, he's confident he will find a job and repay
the loans. "But it still frightens me. seeing the numbers on
those promissory notes." he said.
Parents surveyed in the TtRI report said they, loo,
worry about debt but regard college as essential. As a
budget priority, they rank it equal lo buying a house.
Wyss said Ihe survey indicates parents should continue
lo pressure colleges lo keep down costs.
TF.RI. which conducted the study with the Washington
based Institute for Higher Fxlucalion Policy, recommends
Congress provide more grants lo students.
But Republicans say big increases are unlikely. This
week, they are considering making federal loans more
expensive for students as a way lo help balance the bud-
get.

The rally no longer rallies
There were two types of people who gathered on
the Ainherst Common on Sept. 14 to protest
planned cuts in federal education assistance. The
first group went to the rally, became invigorated, and
went home to write their representatives, call their sena-
tors, then plan the next phase of their
movement. And then there was the
other 90 percent of the crowd.
Those folks went home, ordered a
pizza, watched "Friends" and
"Seinfeld" and went to sleep. They
were convinced that by putting on a
black turtleneck and milling around
in front of the Lord |eff Inn for half
an hour, they'd actually accomplished
something.
i have become rather cynical about
such protests during my tenure in the
Happy Valley. Last spring. I
addressed a rally protesting certain
points of the Republican Contract
With America. When I pointed out
that less than a quarter of eligible vot-
ers had voted in 1994, everyone
cheered. When I said that the left
could win if we all got off our
ivory-tower laurels, they cheered still
more.
But I knew many of those cheering
loudest had not voted. They did not
vote, and they would not vote in the
future. They'd yell about Newt, but
not actually do the one thing that
could remove him from power.
It is chic today to say voting
"doesn't make a difference." I'm no
expert on history, but I do know that in just about every
election in this country's history, the winner has taken
power. "But they're all the same." the hip and jaded say. If
that were the case, there would be no Contract, no finan-
cial aid cuts, and nothing to protest. Newt Ginimch and
Barney Frank are the same? lesse Jackson and Phil
Gramm the same?
I remember seeing an elderly South African woman on
the news a few years back. She walked for three days to
vote for the first time. Being illiterate, she couldn't mark
her ballot herself: she had to whisper "Mandela" to a
polling official. Think of her the next time you say voting
doesn't matter.
The simple fact is, there are three real ways to effect
change in America: through voting, through the courts
and through violence. And unless you crave the pariah
status of Ihe Unabomber and Tim McVeigh, you're better
off with the first two.
Trendy, lackluster
demonstrations in left-
ist bastions like
Amherst allow Newt
and his clan to ignore
protest. The govern-
ment realizes we are all
so busy planning rallies
and casting acerbic
comments that we will
nex'er truly demon-
strate. If you are in
Amherst wearing black,
you are not on the
phone with
Washington.

stituting for the movement. During the civil rights move-
ment, blacks showed unified strength: they voted en
masse, and spoke with one voice. Anti-Vietnam protesters
used their numbers to disrupt the process of governance.
Women's suffragists forcetj power to listen, and. once

women's issues a top concern.
Today, rallies are hip, fun shows
with music and angry polemics. There
were folks shouting in Amherst last
Thursday who were shouting about
the Contract all last spring, and
shouting about Mumia Abu-|amal all
summer. Since the rally no longer ral-
lies — it doesn't bring forces lo the
cause — and since today the
half-hour of assembly is the entire
expression of the movement, govern-
ment can ignore it.
So even if it doesn't accomplish
anything, you might be thinking, is it
still harmless? Unfortunately, no.
Trendy, lackluster demonstrations
in leftist bastions like Amherst allow
Newt and his clan to ignore protest.
The government realizes we arc all so
busy planning rallies and casting acer-
bic comments that we will never truly
demonstrate. If you are in Amherst
wearing black, you are not on the
phone with Washington.
The people who protest too much
arc on the defensive. The Mercedes
Left, spoiled kids with fancy cars and
brand- new Marxist politics, are
secretly afraid someone will notice
they don't really live their beliefs. (Consider a leading
Valley AIDS activist who smokes Marlboros. a leading
contributor lo lesse Helms.) And so they shout and wave
banners, trying to block out their nagging consciences.
Those who do truly change things, who are (Hving time
to the Survival Center or Grove Street Inn. assisting at
Necessitics/Necesidades, or tutoring in Holyoke. don't
have to shout their views. They already know that they are
doing their part.
There is nothing wrong with a rally, but it is not the pri
mary component of a movement. Change comes through
individual action in one's own community, coupled with
protest, discussion — and voting. Some of the Amherst
demohstrators know this. 11117 "lerit considerable respect
for their efforts. But what about the others? Are they reg-
istered to vote? Did they vote? If not. what right do they
have to complain about who gets elected'' And, will they
vote next time?

Leaving my home in Kuwait
Yousef
Tuqan
It was just another August
morning. It was summer-time
in the rich Emirate of Kuwait,
and I was lazily welcoming the
morning in the comfortable con-
fines of my bed.
Suddenly. I heard an unexpect-
ed thumping down the hallway:
the tel'tale sound of my brother
hurrying towards my room. "Wake
up." he exclaimed, panting and
out of breath. "We're going to
London!"
Optimistically
sensing that my
plans for a sum-
mer trip had final-
ly materialized. I
leaped from bed
and bounded down the stairs to
my living room. However, my
wave of optimism subsided when
I was confronted with the sight of
my father, nervously leaning
towards the radio. Tuned to the
BBC news station, the reporter
blared. "Kuwait has been invaded
by an Iraqi force of 100,000 men.
The emirate is under siege." This
may sound like a movie scene, but
it wasn't. This was real, and was
the beginning of the most terrify-
ing ordeal I have ever lived
through.
In the early hours of Aug. 2.
1990. my life in Kuwait would
end. I was a 14-year-old boy who
had practically grown up in
Kuwait. My parents, both
Palestinian refugees, had consid-
ered Kuwait their home for 40
years. I had planned to continue
my education in Kuwait and to
possibly pursue a career there
upon graduation. Sadly, those
dreams and aspirations were ended
on that fateful morning when I had
to turn my back on the last 10
years of my life and being a new
one.
We spent the next three weeks
in relative peace. We had heavily
stocked our house with food and
liquids, and our house was big
enough to accommodate the two
families living there for the next
two months. Being young. I was
sheltered from my parents' wor-
ries, including the fact my sister
and I, being British citizens, were
ptotential hostages. In addition. I
had lots of people to keep me com-
pany.
After being evacuated from their
beach-side house, my best friend's
family came to live with us. Having
another family in the house was
very comforting. Not only were we
safer in larger numbers, but their
enthusiasm brought a feeling of
hope to our house that was badly
needed in the week preceding their
arrival.
To get through the
monotony of being
prisoners in our own
home, we set up
activities like happy
hour, movie night
and garden volleyball. Even though
we all knew that death could come
through a window at any time, we
pulled through, using our recre-
ational events as a way to keep us
sane and together.
We were monitoring the news
carefully and news of friends safe-
ly reaching neighboring Saudi
Arabia and its neighbor lordan
was coming back 10 us. Wc had
on'ginally considered leaving, but
fell the risk was great. As
Jordanian passport holders, we
were unable to enter Saudi Arabia
without visas. The other route, lo
lordan. required driving through
800 miles of Iraqi desert that was
laden with mines and tanks. The
best thing to do. we then believed,
was to slay home and hope for a
peaceful end to the invasion. The
events on the morning of Aug. 20
showed us that it was wise to
leave.
The house of our neighbor, a
Kuwaiti, was looted by Iraqi sol-
diers searching for booty (cars,
electronics and gold) and Kuwaiti
hostages. When our neighbor
wasn't found, they came lo our
house. My mother had just woken
up at that time, and she answered
the door.
After answering a barrage of
questions, the interrogation turned
to the absence of our neighbor,
who was vacationing in the U.S.
My mother then convinced them he
was gone, and they demanded she
hand over the keys to his cars, with
which my mother had been entrust-
ed.
After her staunch refusal, the
commander of the group drew his
pistol, put it to my mother's head
and screamed, "give me the keys
or I'll kill you." At that moment,
my father came to the door, hav-
ing been woken by the noi.se. "Ah.
you must be Tuqan Tuqan." pro-
claimed the soldier. "You worked
for IBM. yes? You own two
Saabs, you have three children
and you like classical music."
After running through his report
on my father, he again shouted to
my mother, "now give me the
keys!"
In the panic, my mother slapped
the gun from the soldier and
screamed, "how dare you. I'm as
old as your mother!" Unshaken by
the incident, the soldier again
raised his pistol, this time at our
maid's head. In fear for the young
Sri Lankan girl's life, my mother
fetched the keys and tossed them to
the soldier.
After that harrowing incident,
wc were woken and informed of
the events that had passed. My
father said it was no longer safe
there, and if they knew his name,
they would realize his two children
were British.
Being slapped with the reality of
having lo leave our home, we went
to our respective rooms to collect
what little we could for the drive.
Out of fear for being mistaken as
Americans or British nationals, wc
were unable to bring along anything
that pointed to our Western-style
upbringing. We took few clothes,
and even less personal items.
The feeling of helplessness that
accompanied my apprehension for
the near future have never been
rivaled. That day, I felt my life
had ended. My best friend's fami-
ly left to stay with other friends.
My room, my friends and my life
in Kuwait were soon to be
reduced to a memory. With an
emotional good-bye. we wished
our maid of 1 1 years and our
house goodbye: a goodbye that
will last forever.

Taking it off to pay the bills
Strip bars exist. Whether you think they arc horrible,
demeaning places, women and men are dancing
around either with g-slrings or topless in order to
make a living. And many college students are taking these
jobs in order 10 help pay their tuition bills.
Several months ago. I was a.ssigned lo write an article
for a magazine about "sexy" jobs col-
lege students have. My main focus
was on stripping and escort services.
When I was finished. I was very sur-
prised about ihc amount of students,
both male and female, that turned to
these occupations (if that's what you
call them) to make a lot of money,
and earn it quickly.
Whether stripping is a moralistic
job or not. people do it. Obviously
there are many different a'asons why.
but for the most c>an. to earn a living
It is sad there are people who are put
in a situation where they have to
work at a strip joint in order to make
money. (Blaming the government
could be one scapegoat, which is an
entirely different argument itself.) But
there are people who strip on their
gwn volition.
Strippers earn a lot of money, and
none of this money goes to taxes. For
Ihe magazine article. I interviewed Heidi iVIatlson who
wrote a book called Ivy League Siripfwr. It is a biographi-
cal account about being a stripper, and how she paid her
way through Brown University with the money she
earned. Unfortunately. Heidi's financial aid was iakcn
away from her and she needed a high paying job to slay in
school.
Before I interviewed the strippers, and sometimes still
now, I feel, as a female. I should look down on stripping.
Yet after taking to Heidi, and 20 other strippers. I can't
help but look at stripping as... a real job. I also can't help
but feel — jealous.
lealous because I work many moa- hours than they do
and gel paid a lot less, and jealous I don't have the self
confidence to get on that bar and dance my boody off.
Like Heidi distinctively pointed out. which I agree with
100 percent, a person needs lo be completely psychologi-
cally stable with him or herself in order to be a stripper.
Before I wrote this
article, and sometimes
still now. I feel as a
female I should look
down on stripping. Yet
after taking to Heidi,
and 20 other strippers,
can 7 help but look at
stripping as. . . a real
job. I also can V help
but feel — jealous.

People should not think they can hide their problems by
being a dillerent person on stage. Stripping should be an
additional role, not a new role in a person's life.
When I interviewed Heidi, we met at the Rolanda show
in New York City where she was appearing as a guest siar
on the show, which was about strippers. "The panel had a
group of women who stripped for «
living, along with someone in their
life who disapproved of their "job."
After the yelling and audience
interruptions that most talk shows
have, all of the women ended their
argument with the same point —
they were making over $100,000 1
year, tax free, and doing something
they enjoyed, so they should be left
alone.
Stripping is such a tricky contro-
versial subject, but one to think
about in a different wav )h.-n most
of us do. Society automatically
assumes that all strippers are
women with family problems, or
women who ran away from home,
or women who are psychologically
disabled.
One woman on the Rolanda show
admitted she was an abused child,
but thai was her past and she was
line now. Another woman said she was happily married
with two children. There are so many different scenarios
in people's lives, and stripping plays a different part in
each of them That is why I find it so hard to look down
upon and condemn strip bars.
Heidi said she was lucky because the first bar she
walked into looking for a job turned out to be a "clean"
place. Unfortunately, it was her financial struggles that
made her even think about working there, but she kept
the job after her bills were paid. In one year she eamwl
over $100,000. I remember her saying. "Why not? $500
in one night?"
Maybe stripping should be looked at differently. Of
course some places are extremely dirty, but there are
places where stripping is a show. Women are prancing
and dancing about, completely segregated from the men
in the audience, and getting paid big bucks for it.

The ballad of the Sox fan from Jersey
Matt Vbutour
Justin Smith
Leigh Torbin
He couldn't wipe that damn
smile off of his face.
"I'm just so happy to be
here." he said.
• • •
Brian grew up in the swamps of
New lersey. right in the heart of
Yankee country.
"I really should be a Yankee fan."
he said kind of relieved.
That would-be
Yankee fan. however,
by some absolute
freak of nature lives
and dies with the
Boston Red Sox.
Liking the Red Sox
can be quite a curse
in the Garden State.
He suffered through
losing seasons and
chants of 1918, while his friends
talked trash about the Yanks.
He had support however. Like his
father before him. Bnan's father Rico
was as die-hard a Sox fan as they
come. From the time when Brian was
very young, he and Rico would sit
out on Ihe porch straining lo hear the
staiicy station in distant Hartford,
transmitting the sounds of Ken
Coleman and |oe Castiglione broad-
casting Boston's Olde Towne Team.
The two would even risk their lives
for their team on occasion, venturing
into the unholy land of the Bronx in
hopes of seeing Boston defeat the
hated Yankees.
As Brian got older his passion for
the team flourished. In fact, when it
came lime for him to select a college.
Brian looked into the University of
Massachusetts for one reason. He
would be closer to Boston and his
beloved Red Sox. He longed to be a
part of the almost pathetic culture
defined by the agony that comes with
rooting for New England's team year
after year.
So Brian headed north in hopes of
being there the year they finally
broke the dreaded curse.
Rewards had been very limited for
Brian during his first three years in
Amherst. The team that "he had
uprooted himself for had been a
major disappointment, finishing well
out of playoff contention. In fact the
baseball strike was
almost a blessing in dis-
guise because it put a
merciful end to the hor-
rendous 1994 cam-
paign.
Brian put all that
hchind him this year,
though. The
"Cinderella" season
was redemption for
three years of misery, and Brian was
in Fenway Park Wednesday nieht
when the Red Sox clinched their first
Inp to posl-scason since 1 990
• • •
"I'm just .so happy to be here." he
said.
After the Red Sox failed 10 clinch
the berth the previous two nights
hands. He deeded to bring his devo-
■on to Fenway in hopes of being
there for the celebration
Sitting in traffic on the
Massachusells Turnpike, Brian's eyes
widened when the Boston skyline
appeared over the hill.
HiH^n'^'^'u'*"'"'-'"'' «""''• ^'^t that
aidn I laze Brian.
■I doni care about the seals." he
said I m in Fenway Park the night
they re going to clinch " ^
Brian cherished every moment
the stellar pitching performance of
Ertk Hanson. lose Canseco may have
gotten the.media attention for his
game winning single in the bottom
of the seventh, but don't let anyone
tell you otherwise. It was the
Brian-initiated rally caps in Section
42 of the right field bleachers that
made Canseco's pennant-clinching
hit possible.
When Rick Aguilera struck out
Dave Nilsson to give the Sox the vic-
tory, nobody celebrated harder. Brian
hugged and high-fived his friends,
the 75-year-old woman in front of
him, the three six-year-olds behind
him. and for that matter anyone else
who happened to be within arm's
reach.
Tears welled in his eyes as the
scoreboard showed a highlight film
of the season. He smiled contentedly
when Red Sox legend |ohnny Pesky
mounted a police horse for a victory
lap. while the players paraded
around the field in ecstatic celebra-
tion.
His friend commented. "You're
like a kid at Christmas."
"Christmas?" Brian responded.
"This is better than Christmas."
When they finally left Fenway
Park. Brian fulfilled a sacred duty
and called Rico at the first
pay-phone he could find.
Ii was too soon lo leave however,
so Brian wandered back to the park,
and joined with scores of Sox fans in
an impromptu rendition of Take Me
Out to the Ballgame as they waited to
cheer the players as they left the
park.
As Brian and his friends turned to
leave, he paused.
"Let's stop and just savor this for a
moment."
At that moment, the New lersey
native was tntly home.

Looking at Valley's music scene
By Mike BuHce
Collegian Staff
Looking to hear some live music? Well the Valley is
just hopping this weekend with several worthwhile events
that will grab your musical ear.
Although announced just a few days ago, DC. legends
Fugazi sold out Peari Street in near record time. Not sur-
prising since they are consider«i one of the premier live
bands of the day and tickets only cost $5.
Boston's favorite noisy pop band Swiriict will be per-
forming at Alley Oops, a bowling alley in Northampton
while |. Ma$cif will perfonn a solo acoustic show at the
Iron Horse.
Saturday's main highlight is a ska show at Pearl Street
featuring Mcphiskapheles and Spring Heeled lack — so get
your dancing shoes on.
Sunday night may not be considered a weekend night
by everyone, but the shows will surely be hot. Locals,
soon to be legends. The Scud Mountain Boys will sit
around and play at the Iron Horse while across town at
the Northampton Brewery New Radiant Storm King and
Humbert will be appearing at a free show.
Do you want to see a free show right here on campus?
If so log-on to the internet right now. University
Productions and Concerts is working with Ticketmaster
and Capitol Records on their national "back to school"
promotion. If our school submits the most entries to the
Ticketmaster Web Site then we when a free show by one
of the of the following Capitol bands: Boncpony,
Everclear or Spearhead.
Interested? Then visit the sight at: hltp://www. ticket-
master. com/spot I . You can win prizes too! The first
20.000 entries will win a free compilation CD and one
lucky student will win a trip 10 a major city to see a major
band. If you have any questions call UPC.
September is shaping up 10 be the month of the seven
inch single for local bands. First the Scud Mountain Boys
release their two song single on Sub Pop. And now in the
next few weeks we can expect singles by the Miichells.
Knuckle Sandwich, and Tizzy.
Thursday night will mark the Mitchells record release
party at the Fire & Water in Northampton. Playing along
side the Mitchells will be Tizzy and Encyck>pcdia Brown
(featuring ex-members of Sourpuss). Knuckle
Sandwhich will be holding their record release show at
Pearl Street in the near future with the Mitchells opening
up.
Mark Oct. 12 on your calendar. Green Day will be
releasing the follow-up to their overwhelmingly successful
major label debut Dookie. Produced by Rob Cavallo, the
album was recorded in secrecy in the band's home state of
California. Expect a fall tour to follow.
Amherst College is bringing more top class talent to this
lovely town. Last year Pavcmenl. Sonic Youth. Natalie
Merchant. Bob Dylan, and Dinosaur |r all played down
the road from us. We can only hope that this year will be
so prosperous in talent but it is definite that Yo La Tengo
will play on Nov. 1 5.
Hailing from New York they might be the most crimi-
nally overlooked band anywhere. For almost ten years the
band has taken their Sonic Youth influciKes to new levels
but almost no one has listened. As a live band ihey are
sporadic, but on a good night they arc one of a handful of
bands who can completely move their audience.
Two days later the legendary progressive rock band.
King Crimson will be playing at the Paramount Theatre
in Springfield. Original members Adrian Bclcw,
Robert Fripp and Bill Bruford will be performing
together for the first lime in 20 years! Tickets are
already on sale.
Perhaps the most anticipated indie rock record of the
fall is Here's Where the Strings Come In by Chapel Hill's
Superchunk. Although every major label drools at the
thought of singing their four piece, the band has avoided
the temptation, allowing their own label. Mergey. to
release the album which is in stores now Last week the
band performed in Boston along side Morphine, ShMMcr
To Think. Mike Watl. and Fuzzy as part of a college
block party sponsored by WFNX.
l>Aovie makers move to Eastern Europe
By John Flom
AssociotBd Press
LOS ANGELES - The logic is
simple. The story originally set in
Chicago is filmed in Moscow. The
movie about Argentina is shot in
Budapest. And the generic American
horror thriller is made in Romania.
In the wake of political upheaval in
Eastern Europe and the former
Soviet Union, a growing number of
U.S. filmmakers are invading former
Warsaw Pact countries, attracted by
fresh vistas and low overhead.
Many of the roving productions are
low-budget outfits, but a few — such
as Madonna's Evita filming in
Hungary — are multimillion-dollar
blockbusters.
"I think Eastern Europe is a very
viable alternative," says Buzz
Feitshans. president of production at
Cinergi. the makers of the Peron fam-
ily musical Evita. Budapest's exteri-
ors will double for Argentina's.
Feitshans says, so the company won't
have to build many expensive sets.
Some of the overseas facilities —
not to mention the moviemaking
hardware — are far below Western
standards, and most crews import
cameras, lights and sound equip-
ment. But what Eastern Europe lacks
in modernity, it more than makes up
for in cheap, ample labor and unique
locales.
Some U.S. movie producers have
been forced to bribe otherwise balky
bureaucrats, yet such complications
can pale in comparison to the has-
sles of filming in major American
cities.
"The work ethic is real good and
there are absolutely fabulous loca-
tions." says Charles Band. His Full
Moon Entertainment built a
Bucharest studio three years ago to
chum out 30 of Full Moon's modest-
ly budgeted direct-to video horror
movies (including Subspecies.
Trancers, Dragon World).
"We're in the volume business, and
you get a lot more value for the dol-
lar." Band says.
One of the best current examples
of "Hollywood East" is Ihe new
thriller Mute Witness, about an
American movie crew member who
stumbles upon a snuff film ring.
This independently produced
movie's story once unfolded in
Chicago. Russia proved to be a much
more affordable setting, so writer-
In the wake of politi-
cal upheaval in Eastern

ing number of U.S.
fdmmakers are invad-

Madonna 's Evita film-
ing in Hungary — are
multimillion-dollar
blockbusters.
director Anthony Waller overhauled
his script, adding a new iwi.st about
Ihe KGB and making Russia's rickety
political infrastructure part of the
drama.
"We could shoot in Russia at a
fraction of the cost we could have in
the West." Waller says. "In fact, the
movie would have been unfilmable
if we had remained in the West."
Much of the movie was shot in the
dilapidated government-run Mosfilm
studios, antj that structure's seedi-
ness amplified the snuff film story-
line.
Filming in and around Moscow
was not a complete breeze, though.
More than 90 crates of production
equipment legally shipped from
Munich to Moscow was not released
from customs until Waller slipped
officials $5,000 cash and several bot-
tles of vodka.
"It's a free-for-all. take-advantage-
when-you-can atmosphere." Waller
says.
Leading Russian actor Oleg
jankowskij realized on the eve of
filming his English wasn't good
enough, and many of his lines had to
be dubbed. Another Russian actor.
Waller says, had such a drug problem
he could barely stand for his scenes.
And then there was the first day of
filming — Oct. 4, 199J.
"I woke up to the sounds of explo-
sions and machine-gun fire," says
Waller. The movie's start coincided
with the October Revolution, the
storming of the Russian parliament
building. With only minor delays,
however, production stayed on
track.
Waller's film crew included just
five Americans, a few Germans and
more than 100 Russians (accompa-
nied by four interpreters).
Waller also scored the film in
Moscow, using a 64-piece orchestra.
The bang-for-your-buck magnet also
attracted B-movie legend Roger
Corman. Corman's company filmed
two movies for cable's Showtime —
llellfire and Bram Stoker's Burial of
the Rats — in Moscow. In classic
Corman style, it was movie sets that
brought him to Russia.
In the 1960s, Corman cannibalized
used sets from The Sound of Music
and The Sand Pebbles for his low-
budget St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
So when Mosfilm President Vladimir
Dostal recently told Corman that
Mosfilm was building a French
provincial city and chateau for a his-
torical drama. Corman took the

Cyndi Lauper is no comeback
By David Bouder
Associatvd Prejj
ALBANY, N.Y. - Don't talk
to Cyndi Lauper about come-
backs.
The word has hung over her.
almost like a taunt, ever since she
experienced unimaginable success
1 1 years ago with her first album
and the signature song Oirls fust
Want to Have Fun.
Some will try to apply that label
to Twelve Deadly Cyns .And
Then Some, a CD that collects the
itcun-haired singer's greatest hits,
a few new songs and some tunes
Lauper considers unjustly
ignored.
"It's silly,' she said. "I haven't
gone anywhere. To have every sin-
gle one of your records called a
comeback record is kind of
funny."
Overseas, where the disc was
released last year, it clearly can be
called a successful comeback. It
has sold more than 2 million
copies.
But this native New Yorker still
hasn't cracked the indifference
that those in her own country
have displayed throughout the
1990s.
The disc peaked at No. 81 on
Billboard's chart and has sunk
siiKe its luly release.
A full decade of never climbing
lo the same heights as that first
album has given Lauper a different
definition of success.
"You can be safe and be very
successful, but there is nothing cre-
atively stimulating there for me."
she said. "In my heart, that's where
the music is. Thai's how I live and
that's how I breathe. When I sing
and when I write and when I make
music together with people who
are kinda-d .souls, then it's a great
experience."
She's found that she can only
be responsible for making that
music, not for how people
respond to it.
Put another way, Lauper said she
would sport a Brooks Bros, suit if
she wanted lo be a whiz at the
business aspect of music, instead of
the thrift store castoffs she has
molded into a "look."
"The importance is not a pat on
the back or a slap on the side of the
head," she said. "In this field, once
you understand the nature of the
beast, it's not about how many
rewards you get. it's about the
work, and how the work makes
you feel."
And. lately, that work has made
her feel pretty good. Her 1993
album. Hat Full of Stars, received
positive reviews and was the pro-
ject l.auper always wanted to do —
even though It was ignored to the
point that many people who saw
her perform didn't realize il was
out.
She held off releasing her great-
est hits until she could put a few
songs from Hal Full of Stars on il.
and would have liked to include
more.
The new recordings on Twelve
Deadly Cyns include a cover of
the Gene Pilney song. "I'm Gonna
Be Strong." which Lauper had
been performing since her days as
the lead singer of Blue Angel, the
New York City-area bar band in
which she was discovered. It's
among her strongest vocal perfor-
mances.
"Girls just Want lo Have Fun"
also was recast as a reggae-fla-
vored song that borrows the
melody of Redbonc's "Come and
Get Your Love." She also includes
the original version of the hit on
the CD
The song has experienced a
revival of sorts in the gay commu-
nity, which often has been on the
tip of mu.sical Ircrtds.
Tossing glitter as she rode a
float, Lauper was a grand marshal
of this summer's gay pride parade
in New York City. Last year, she
sang at the closing ceremonies of
the Gay Games.
"I felt like this is a song that
meant a lot to a lot of people,' she
said. "It's a very liberating song
and it's also about a celebration of
who you are. And I think that that
is important."
Lauper. 42, was married almost
four years ago to actor David
Thornton, in a Manhattan ceremo-
ny in which Little Richard led
them in reciting their vows. They
divide Iheir time between an
apartment in Manhattan and a
home an hour away in Stamford.
Conn.
An acting career that began
with the movie "Vibes" has con-
tinued lo parallel I^uper's musi-
cal one. She just received her sec-
ond Emmy nomination for her
recurring role as a relative lo
actor Paul Reiser in "Mad About
You."
"They're quite talented." she
said. "It's really something the way
you fall into it. After awhile, I real-
ly did ihink that I was related lo
Paul through marriage and then
divorce — that I was his cousin
somehow."
But she still considers music
her top priority and is looking fur-
ward to some more live perfor-
mances.

Film features the Grateful Dead
By John Rogers
Aisocioted Press
LOS ANGELES — jerry Garcia was fond of saying
that the last great adventure a young person might have in
these waning days of the American century was to follow
the Grateful Dead around.
You can't run away and join the circus anymore, Garcia
would say. ar.d it"s gotten loo hard to ride the rails. But if
you still want to be lack Kerouac in "On the Road" or
Woody Guthrie in "Bound for Glor>," you can get in an
old car or bus that you bought for a song and follow the
Grateful Dead down the road.
It's that spirit of innocence and romance that director
Andrew Behar tries, but only occasionally succeeds, in
capturing in his documentary "Tic-Died: Rock 'N' Roll's
Most Dcadlcated Fans."
To be sure, the moments of failure aren't all Bchar's
fault. He must be feeling particularly star-crossed to
have released a documentary on people whose major
mission in life is to follow around a band that -— as of
Carcia's death last month — may never take to the road
again.
Rut that's what he's done, and to do it without going
back and addressing what Garcia's loss means to the
faithful that followed him from Oregon to Vermont when
Behar's cameras were rolling last year is to present a film
that is incomplete.
Early on. several people are asked what draws them to
a Grateful Dead concert, a question that even the late
mvihologist loseph Campbell sought to answer.
"It's a beautiful, peaceful religion." says Cassie of
England, a response not all that far off from
Campbell's.
Others fall back on that pat answer Deadheads give the
straight world: "I come for the music." Many name their
favorite songs.
So what do we not ever hear at any point throughout
the film'.' A Grateful Dead song.
The soundtrack is filled with original music created by
the Deadheads themselves, which lo be lair is often inter-
esting and never really that bad.
But if understanding the Dead's fans is based, at least
in part, on understanding the free-form, ever-changing
music the group created, then something is missing here.
In that respect, the Grateful Dead Movie, made by the
band itself in the mid-1970s, is siill the more informa-
tive and entertaining if not the more professionally done
film.
Where Tie-Hied succeeds is in giving a vivid picture of
life on the road from all sides. Everything from the beauty
of the open road to the lost dogs and lost souls you find
along the way are captured in picturesque detail.
There are kids tripping on psychedelic drugs and
declaring that we can all live together in F>eace and har-
mony on Mother Earth in those concert-venue parking
lots. And there are also people like Patrick, the parking-
lot vendor who has followed the Dead long enough to
know that sometimes after a show a boozy crowd can gel
ugly. So he sleeps with a weapon.
There's the guy. probably forty-something, who has
been following the Dead for 25 years. He evokes a certain
sadness when he says his mother asked him if he thinks he
wasted his life.
And there are the teen-agers running from broken, dys-
functional homes and families in the suburbs who certain-
ly could have wound up somewhere far worse than the
parking lot outside a Grateful Dead concert.
They all leave one with the same uneasy question: Now
that jerry's gone, where do they go?
Tie-Died is rated R. It was produced by Marsha
Oglesby and James Deulch and released by ISA
Releasing Limited, a new. Chicago-based distribution
company.

Morpfiine played a sold out show Wednesday night at Pearl Street.
Morp/iine delivers cure for pain
By Mike MocLeon
Collegian Staff
MOKPHINE
Pearl Street
Sept 20, 1995
If record sales and critical
acclaim aa-n't enough to prove that
Morphine has earned a place for
themselves in the world of college
music, then how does a sold-out
show at Pearl Street sound'.'
Thai's exactly what took place
Wednesday night as the
Boston-based trio wrapped up
their North American tour for the
album >'f.v and held true lo their
reputation as second-to- none in
the live performance category.
Pulling just about an equal num-
ber of songs from each of their
three albums {Good. Cure For Pain
and Yes), Morphine had the crowd
bouncing instantly with selections
like "Thursday" and "Free Love "
— even treating the crowd to Cure
For Pain's "In Spite of Me" (sans
the mandolin). The set also includ-
ed some new selections that had
the instantly memorable hooks in
the classic Morphine style.
Bassist Mark Sandman's mean-
dering. I've-just-been- sedated
persona is the type of deadpan
that could make "The Night
Before Christmas" sound funny. It
seemed that every time he opened
his mouth he had the crowd smil-
ing.
Without question though, the
high point of the show had to have
been the last third of the set. which
began with a semi-spoken word
piece about a bride and groom who
wait until their wedding night to
have sex and then tragedy strikes
as the groom dies when he hits his
head on the dryer in the laundry
room. Although they never left the
stage but once, soon following
came the multiple encores that the
band is notorious for doing.
Sandman actually introduced one
selection as "The final song of ihii
encore."
The encores included more of
the staple Morphine songs as the
band brought out "Yes." "Buena"
and "Cure For Pain" to bring the
crowd to a frenzy. It was obvious
after watching the energy level
when the band plays that even if
the audience has its favorites.
Morphine loves every song ihc\
play.
Garcia and alternative hit the chains
Mike's
After jerry Garcia died, a friend made a bet with me
that a certain store at the mall would have some jerry
Garcia and Grateful Dead Shirts on sale. Sure enough, a
phone call later, we were assured that they had many a
style to choose from — and they were indeed on sale.
Now before some of you freak out
and think that I'm taking a stab at the
Dead or Garcia or thai this piece is
about ihem. calm down. I don't listen
to the Dead at all. never have. Bui I
think that the story carries with it a
serious message that can be instantly
understood if you stepped foot in this
aforementioned store.
Strolling through my hometown's
mall this summer I passed by this
■•lore, which for all intents and purposes shall remain
nameless, and I jusl had lo stop and go in. What I saw
nearly made my jaw drop and my heart sink.
It was a store of what can only be described as altema-
gear. Yes, it had everything you'd ever wanted in "alterna-
tive" clothing and accessories (and even some stuff you
didn't know you needed).
Doc Martens, incense, candles, "underground" CD's
(The latest R.E.M. imports, at best) and sections for all
tastes were there; every irend from vampire/golh stuff lo
those green bomber jackets frequently seen at ska/hard-
core shows. Did anyone know that they were in? Well, I
guess they are now.
But perhaps one of the funniest things about this store
were the employees. I honestly believe that the employ-
ment office had a quota and a checklist when they did the
hiring for this place. Every form of alternative was repre-
sented. Walking the floor was the listen-to-the-Cure.
black hair dye. Kenncdy-esque glasses and "I'm so

First, there was the spiked hair, nose chain, jean vest with

them to create movies lo match the blueprints.
After all. Corman thought, how ofien can you get a $1
million set for free'.'
"We were not able lo take advantage of all the Russian
locations, but we look advantage of the sets," says
Corman of the back-to-back productions. He gave
Mosfilni the movies' Russian rights as part of the deal.

let. cut-off parachute pants, two pound, "where's the
nearest half-pipe" boy.
Now I'm not saying any of these people are bad or that
their interests weren't genuine. Bui it was obvious that
tl ese kids had been hired because
they fit a mold, a mold thai sells, and
I just couldn't believe that they didn't
know how ihey were being used to
exploit the very lifestyle that they
most likely grew up on. These kids
were, in theory, working for. and sell-
ing lo, the same types of people who
used to beat them up and pick on
them in jr. high and high school
because they wore a Smiths T-shirt
instead of one by Vaumet or Espirit.
What is the point of all this? Well, after walking
through this store and gelling funny looks bc*cause I was
wearing a Champion T-shirt and didn't have a pierced
body part in full view, it only served to reinforce what I
have believed all my life: Being different isn't a look, it's a
personality. As cliched as that may sound, anyone who
knows someone genuinely different knows that no matter
what they wear, the second they open their mouth their
individuality becomes remarkably clear.
Garcia and the Dead, even though one of the most leg-
endary bands of this century, are nothing more lo a store
like this than jusl another shirt on the wall next lo ones by
Sponge. Filter and Green Day. Kurt Cobain's suicide note
can be purcha.sed on a 5x5 patch and worn as a fashion
statement (If he'd known he would have become more of
a commodity do you think he might have reconsidered?).
In the end. it turns out that all the people trying lo look
so different are playing right into the hands of stores like
this, because by everyone being different... together, it's a
much better demographic group to market lo.

Men*s tennis rolls over Fairfield
By Jameson Heos
Collegian Correspondent
The Massachusetts men's tennis team improved their
record to 5-1 as they defeated Fairfield University yester-
day, 5-2.
Freshman Todd Cheney and junior Ryan Ginley contin-
ued their early season success by defeating Mike
Twardowsici and Brian Slype 8-4 to remain undefeated
(4-0) at No. 3 doubles. While at No. 2 doubles Gregor
Rummel and freshman Mike Skeels followed to secure the
doubles point by beating Dave Bronies and Adam Dooley
IlUiKICi UOHASmCOdlUAM MUi
Sophomore Alex Aller returns serve in his doubles
match yesterday against Faitfield. UMass won 5-2.
8-1.
Senior co-captain Justin Lynn and sophomore Alex
Aller locked up the sweep of doubles against Mark Brenan
and Mike Aruta in a tie breaker 8-7 (12-10).
With momentum on the side of UMass. the Minutemen
stormed into the singles matches with a vengeance.
Rummel quickly disposed of Twardowski 6-0. 6-0 at No.
2 singles, and Ankur Bayshu also sailed 6-1. 6-2 over
Bronies at No. 3 singles to push their singles records to
3-1.
At No. 4 singles, Aller continued his stellar play by dis-
posing of Slype 6-2. 6-1 to maintain a unblemished
record at 4-0. Aller fell that he was of equal strength with
his opponent, but that his energy from his emotional dou-
bles victory' carried over into the singles match and gave
him the extra edge he needed.
"The doubles win kind of helped me out." Aller said. 'It
pumped me and my partner up and it gave the team the
momentum we needed."
After losing his first match of the year at No. 5 singles
against B.U.. Cheney has won three in a row to put his
record at 3-1 by defeating Aruta 6-5. 6-1 . Senior co-cap-
lain Darren Tow fell to Brian Robertson b-A. 6-4 at No. 6
singles to drop his record to 1-2.
With the match secure. Lynn could have gave up after
losing the first set 1-6 at No. 1 singles, but the senior dug
down deep inside to take the second set 6-2. With the
rest of the team cheering him and darkness selling in.
Lynn battled Brennan lo a 6-6 tie in the third before
falling 7-5 in the tiebreaker. The captain's record fell to
2-2 on the year.
Coach Judy Dixon was very happy with the (cam's play
and the amount of energy they brought onto the tennis
court.
"We won this match because we came lo play. We came
in with high intensity and |the players} came out today
unwilling lo lose and I think that the freshman exuberance
for being here spilled over into everybody." Dixon said. "I
think we are in great shape lo play Whealon and the thing
we have lo do is not kxjk ahead to our match with UConn.
The edge is certainly vviih us against Whealon and I just
have to make sure that tht^ take one match at a time."
UMass will take on host Wheaton tomorrow at I p.m.
Water polo ready for Brown
By Fr«<i Hurtt>rink, Jr.
Collegion Correspondent
Going into this weekend's matches in Providence,
Rl. University of Massachusetts water polo coach Russ
Yarworth has one main goal for his two-time defend-
ing champion men's water polo club:
"I want to send a message that we're the team to
beat."
Easier said about the No. 13 nationally ranked
ivlinutemen. as they face long-time rival Brown
University Saturday night.
"Brown is historically a counter-attack, fast break
team." Yarworth said. "Our first objective is to take
the swimming game away from them."
Yarworth also thinks the team needs to concentrate
on playing to their strength, which is a short,
two-meter game.
"We have a number of players who can set inside
two meters and be scoring threats," he said.
Among those swimmers "in the hole* is co-captain
Luis Limardo. who leads the team in scoring with 22
goals and 30 points. Limardo has combined with
co-captain John Luviano, freshman Brian Stahl and
junior Greg Menton to amass 56 goals in the first nine
matches.
The dynamic foursome combined to tally 20 goals in
the three-match Eastern Water Polo Association
Tournament in King's Point, New York on Sept. 16
where Yarworth's charges swept the opposition.
As much as their offense has been clicking early on,
the key to victory against Brown will be matching their
speed.
Yarworth is confident that if his club can contain
the Brown fast break, they should be able to domi-
nate both ends of the game, offensively and defensive-
ly
A tougher test for the K-1 Minutemen this weekend
will be their two matches against the New York
Athletic Club, defending National Club Champions of
the Winter League, and Meiro Boston Water Polo
Club. These games will not count on the club's official
record, but should prove valuable in experience and in
the level of competition as they march toward defense
of their EWPA title.
"There's no pressure, win or loss, but it would be a
real feather in my cap" if we could knock of NYAC."
Yarworth said.
UMass goalie Alex Mujica is recovering quickly from
a groin pull, as is Luviano. Other playcrN are dealing
with assorted ailments, but Yarworth said these nag-
ging injuries arc par for the course early in the season
and is not concemcd. No players are expected lo miss
any action this weekend.
As for UMass' tendency of falling behind early in
matches, the Minutemen have addressed this problem
in practice this week.
"It's obviously something that concerns me as a
coach. A coach can do all he wants; it's basically up
to the players (to prepare Ihemselvesj,* Yarworth
said.
After this three-match weekend the Minutemen are
off until Sept. 28 when they host intra stale rival
Boston College.
V-ball hits road to get season rolling

X--country teams set to run over foes
By Casey Kane
Collegian Correspondent
When Massachusetts women's
cross country coach Julie L.aFreniere
looked at her team at the beginning
of this season, she wasn't sure what
to expect. Having had to redshiri
star runner Melissa Langevin.
LaFreniere turned to her younger
runners and askc-d them to step up.
Coming into this weekend's
homestand, when the
Minutewomen will host Vermont
and Central Connecticut.
LaFreniere couldn't be happier
with the way her team has run.
Sporting a 5-0-1 record, UMass
has posted wins over New
Hampshire, Brown, Boston
University and Maine. They have
also tied with a powerful
Connecticut team.
One of the main reasons the
Minutewomen have been so suc-
cessful is Rebecca Donaghuc. The
sophomore turned in a personal
record as she look third place over-
all in last weekend's meet in Maine.
Senior co-captain jcn Waeger is
also running strong, clocking a pcr-
soruil best last weekend.
Christy Martin, Kristin
Donaldson and Katie Grenia, who
redshirted last year, round out a
solid Massachusetts top five.
'Donaghue. Waeger and Martin
are all running beyond what I
envisioned at this point.
Donaldson and Grenia are both
running strong as well."
LaFreniere said.
Only one injury has been report-
ed as the team prepares for their
only home meet of the season,
which will start at 12 p.m.
Fifth-year senior Cheryl Lyons will
sit out Saturday's race because of a
strained hip flexor.
"We run a very challenging
course, starting and finishing at
Totman Field." LaFreniere said.
"It's a real cross country course.
It's only three miles, as opposed to
the standard 5000 meters, but it
can be very tough.
"I feel that we should run well.
It'll be our seniors' last lime to run
at home, and that's special."
On the other side of the sched-
ule, the Massachusetts men's cross
country team will host their only
home meet of the season, as they
take on Vermont and Maine, start-
ing at 12:50 p.m. also at Totman
Field.
The Minutemen look to
improve on their record, after
placing fifth at last weekend's
lk>ston College Invitational. The
team has already faced serious
competition this year, running
against national contenders
Michigan and lona.
UMass coach Ken O'Brien said
that his front runners will have lo
lead the way for his relatively inex-
pcriencL-d squad.
"It's a tough mcL', on a lough
course, but we can do it," O'Brien
said.
The pre-season tournaments are over, the cobwebs
have been shaken, and now the University of
Massachusetts women's volleyball team turns its attention
to conference play.
The Minutewomen kick off its A- 10 season as they face
the Bonnies of St. Bonaventure in New York on Friday
followed by the Lady [Xikes of Duquesne in Pittsburgh,
Pa on Saturday.
The Bonnies (7-5). hoping to improve on their 0-14
last place A- 10 showing of last year have their work cut
out for them, as Massachusetts coach Bonnie Kenny has
prepared her squad for iheir challenge.
"St. Bonaventure has improved a great deal from last
year, both defensively and at the net," Kenny said.
As for Duquesne. they pose somewhat more of a threat
for the Minutewomen. After a fifth place finish in last
year's A- 10 Tourney, the I-ady Dukes find themselves in
the midst of a rebuilding year. This is the first year the
team has had the luxury of playing with full time head and
assistant coaches.
"I think they brought in a couple of new recruits and two
full time coaches that arc helping them to build their team.
As far as recruiting, we have never come across kids that
are looking at Duquesne and now we arc." Kenny said.
This is a clear indication that the l.ady Dukes are work
ing towards becoming a staple of the A -10. much like
UMass has done in the past three years.
Senior middle blocker Rachel Sky should see time on
the floor after silling out Wednesday's game against
UConn in the Mullins Center with an injured knee. Jky
could prove to be the defensive catalyst the Minutewomen
need lo play up lo their full capabilities.
While Sky rclums lo the court, the other UMass veteran,
junior outside hitter Giza Rivera is still doubtful. Rivera, by
far the Minulewomen's most reliable offensive force, missed
the game against ihc [.ady Huskies with an injured ankle
With Rivera out, Kenny will look to sophomore outside
hitler Lesley Nolan, who tallied a match high 25 kills
against UConn, to lead the team.
Kenny is pleased with her team's play in transition,
something that had been plaguing the Minutewvunen dur-
ing the pre-season.
"I think last night we did a better job going from dig to
kill We need to hit well as a team. 500 or better il we
want to win." Kenny said.

es away from campus. In 1995,
UMass was able to edge BU 1-0 at
thHtET. but last season the
Minutemen fell by the same score on
the turi on BUs Nickcrson FieW. BU
plays a belter game on turf, their sole
1994 defeat coming in the NCAAs,
against Brown, at Harvard's Ohiri
Field, which Is a grass surface.
After thumping the defending
North Atlantic Conference
Champions in a spring game at
Warren McGuirk Alumni Stadium,
UMass can ilM expect to simply
sneak up on the Terriers in this piv
otal New^gland regional matchup.
Although a kiss lo BU would prove
disastrous for the team's regional
ranking, it would not affect their A- 10
standing, the race that really counts.
"You can't worry about the rank-
ings this time of year, you jusl have
to worry about how you're playing,"
Koch commented 'Wc have lo

The two freshmen are tied for the team lead in
tackles with ISapicxc.
"Khari's played an awful lot, and he's done a
heck of a job for us, and Elvis, too. With
[Valentino] out with the injury, we needed some-
body to step it up. Elvis is a very lough kid. very
physical," Hodges said.
Hodges also mentions another redshirter, wide
receiver Eric Dawley. A 5-8, 160 pound speedster,
Dawley didn't catch any passes last week, but saw
some playing time. And if the five runners in the
backfield were nol enough, there is fullback Shaun
Woods (yes, another redshirt freshman), who car-
ried the ball twice late in the Holy Cross game.
There arc some notable true freshman, as well.
The kickoffs and punts are handled by Andy
Maclay, and tight end Kerry Taylor saw some min-

Remember my friend
Wallace, the black AfroAmerican?
Well, he finally graduated
from the university with a masters
degree... pretty cool.
But he says some
remarkable things are happening
since he's got a job.
Some of the guys at work
are already angry at him because
he told them he doesn't know how
to play basketball so he can't play
on the office team.
The same thing hs^ened in
a high school jazz band. That
time he gave in... he just stood
there on stage holding a
saxophone.
They told him
'Just hold it.Wallacer
So, he held it .
He's been holding it ever
since.

Men^s soccer to take on Terriers
By Leigh Torfain
Collegian Staff
Alter falling to New Hani[}shirc on Wednesday,
the University of Massachusetts men's soccer team
will face a difficult challenge in their quest to
return to their winning ways as they tangle with the
Boston University Terriers tomorrow afternoon at
Richard F. Garber Field.
The Minutemen (5-2-1. 3-I-I in the Atlantic
10) come off of a poor showing Wednesday against
the Wildcats, as ihey fell 4-2. their most lopsided
loss of the season.
UMass returns to Garber Field after a scries of
road matches, but awaiting the Minutemen will be
no ordinary focv BU enters the contest at a modest
3-2-1. but has retained all but two players from
last season's 1 9-1-1 team that was ranked No. I
for a portion of the season.
BU's two losses this season came at defending
national chatnpion Indiana, and at Brown, who
ousted BU from the 1994 NCAAs and is currently
ranked first in New England. The Terriers enter
tomorrow's match after a 2-1 victory on
Wednesday at Boston College.
"BU's a good team." UMass coach Sam Koch
COlllClAN SI«> PHOTO
Karsten Bremke and the UMass men's soccer team are back in action tomorrow as they host pow-
erful Boston University at 1 :30 p.m.
said. "All over the field they're good. (BC coach Ed
Kelly) called them seasoned veterans .' They know
how to win. They lost to two very good teams, but
they're not used to losing, having gone undefeated
the whole year before. They beat BC yesterday and
they're probably on their way back.'
Two people to watch on the Terrier side are
imports Ola Olsen (Oslo. Norway), and forward
Nick Bone (Newcastle. England), the nation's top
freshman in 1994. The tandem presen a formida-
ble challenge for the Minuteman defense.
Last season. Bone started all 2 1 games and led
the team with 18 goals and 43 points, while Olsen
tallied 9 goals and 1 1 assists for 29 points. This
season though they have combined for just five
points in the Terriers' six matches.
The Terriers key loss was standout goalkeeper
Robert Fordc. posting an 18-1-1 record, ten
shutouts and a 0.69 goals-against-average. to
accompany a .84 1 save percentage.
A victory tomorrow will benefit the Minutemen
as they prepare to embark on a trip to Stanford next
weekend for matches against the perennially power-
ful San Francisco Dons and the host Cardinal.
The BU match reprc-sents an excellent opportuni-
ty for UMass to play up to their full caliber against
a top national side, without having the pressure of
an A-10 match.
"It's a very important game to play well in,"
Koch said. "They're the toughest ranked team on
our schedule. But it's more important for us to
recover and play well as a team than to win this
game. If we lose this game it won't make much of a
difference as far as the A- 10 is concerned. This is
not a life or death game, but it's real important foi:
us to play the way we can play."
One factor for the Minutemen will be 1994
A- 10 Rookie of the Year Karsten Bremke who
played at UNH for the first time since Sept. 3.
Bremke saw limited action Wednesday, and should
contribute for UMass tomorrow.
The addition of Bremke will help remove the
option for opposing defenses to key on Dave
Siljanovski, who ranks fourth in the nation with 18
points.
Garber Field will be a welcome sight for the
Minutemen who have played their last four match-

Texas A&M pose threat
in 1 995 UMass Classic
By Candice Ftemming
Collegion Staff
The two teams that the
Massachusetts women's soccer
team will face this weekend in the
UMass Classic are as different as
two teams can get.
Texas A&M. who the No. II
Minutewomen will play today at 2
p.m., is coming off a 15-2-2 sea-
son, including a perfect 4-0
record in the Southwest
Conference. Wright State, who
the Minutewomen square off
against on Sunday at 2:15 p.m.,
was 4- lb last year and 1-5 in the
Midwestern Collegiate
Conference.
This year, Wright St. is l-i-1
while the Aggies are 4-2 and last
week they sneaked into Hoccer
America a Top 20 Poll at No. 20.
"They're a team that's on the
block," Massachusetts coach |im
Rudy said. "They grab a few
more wins and they could qualify
out of their region. This is a big
national-type of game for us
because they popped into the Top
20."
One thing that could concern
UMass is the fact that A&M beat
No. 13 William &. Mary 2-1 on
Sept. 8 while the Minutewomen
fell to the Tribe 2-1 a week later
(Sept. 16). The Aggies also
played No. 10 Duke lough, losing
2-1.
"As indicated by what they've
done so far. they gel up for the
big teams," Rudy said. "Their
proble/n is not going to be get-
ting up for us. They can play well
against good teams. Duke and
William & Mary were both in the
top 10 (when they played
them|."
But Rudy isn't overly concerned
with the tact that A&M heat
William & Mary.
"They statistically did to
William & Mary what we statisti-
cally did to William & Mary,
except they might have done a lit-
tle better at that," he said.
Leading the way for A&M will
be the tandem of Kristen Koop
and Bryn Blalack. Koop currently
leads the team with 19 points on
eight goals and three assists while
Blalack is second with 12 points
on five goals and two a.ssists. Two
of Koop's eight goals are
game-winners.
"Blalack is a quick buzzer. I
mean high pressure, challenges
everything, chases," Rudy said
"Koop is a polished finisher with
good speed, finishes well from
central position."
Yvette Okler will also be a
threat to score as she has six
points on the season. Nicole
Shook (six points) is also somcx>ne
the Minutewomen have to look
out for.
"They have a very aggressive
hard-runnmg team, very quick,"
Rudy said. "From everyone I've
talked to, they're very attack-ori-
ented. They have more of a
direct game than a build-up
game. They have good team
speed and their defenders are
fast."
Sunny McConnell will be in
goal for the Aggies. On the sea-
son, she has a 2 06

First-year players bolster football
By Andrew Bryce
Collegian Staff
There is a new fad on the University of Massachusetts
football team It's called the rcdshirl freshman impact,
and it's spreading across the roster of the Minutemen
squad.
L.ast week's 51-0 driibbing of Holy Cross can attest
to the positive effect of the first-year players, and head
coach Mike Hodges is pleased to see their emergence so
eariy in the seascm.
"Certainly." Hodges said when asked if he expected
the standout play at this standpoint. "That's what we
hoped they would do."
Hodges hopes they can do the same tomorrow after-
noon in Boston, where UMass (l-l, 0-1 in Yankee
Conference) is heading to take on Northeastern (l-l.
0-1 ) at Parsons Field for a 1 p.m. kickoff.
So just who are these newcomers, and what did they
do that has people talking?
"The two guys are doing well in the backfield."
Running backs Matt lordan and |im Pizano made
their mark in last weekend's blowout. Each scored their
first touchdowns of their two game careers, and each
demonstrated what they are capable of doing for the
next four seasons at UMass. Jordan carried the ball 1 5
times, and logged 92 yards in his first test, while Pizano
had three carries for 21 yards.
While senior All-America Rene Ingoglia and junior
Frank Alcssio are the main cogs in the ever potent
Minutemen rushing attack for the time being, not to
mention injured Ron Brockington (hip), Hodges is
pleased with the strides both Jordan and Pizano have
taken thus far.
"They both play very hard, and both are talented
backs," Hodges said.
On the defensive side, there's two more first-year
players who have stepped it up. The linebacker corps
did some inventory over the off-season, and Khari
Samuel and Elvis Abcllard have found themselves get-
ting minutes on the field.

Minutewomen will be shooting for revenge
when Temple Owls fly back to UMass fields
By Brian Perillo
and Matt Vautour
Collegian Staff
The University of Massachusetts field hockey team wHll
try to right the ship on Saturday when they host the
Temple Owls at I p.m.
The Minutewomen will be trying to halt a three game
skid, but the match-up with Temple has other implica-
tions as well.
The Owls were the team that upset UMass in the finals
of last year's Atlantic 10 Tournament. That loss not only
cost the Minutewomen the A-10 title, but virtually started
a chain reaction that eliminated them from NCAA consid-
eration.
The combination of that and the rivalry has
Massachusetts fired up for the game.
"UMass-Tcmple in every sport, no matter what each
team has done going into that point in the season, is a
game you gel fired up for," Megan Donnelly said. "I
expect it's going to be an extremely active and intense
game."
"I think it's going to be a great game. We're ready, and
we're slaying focused and remaining positive."
Senior captain Streya Volla agreed.
"They arc a very aggressive and physical team," Volla
said. "With the loss in the A-IOs, it definitely gives us a
little extra incentive to beat them. This is exactly what we
need."
"It's great to be playing them right now," said senior
back Andrea Cabral.
"You come into the lock-
er room before the
Temple game and every-
body is ready to go.
That's what we need right
now. We've been too
mellow."
After playing their last
five games on the road,
the Minutewomen arc
glad to be home.
"It's ideal. We want to
be at home in front of our
fans," Donnelly said. "I
think we'll play well at
home."
"We're sick of being on
the road," Cabral said.
"It's going to be good to have a crowd."
It will he a different looking starting lineup than
when UMass played at home last. |en Gutzman will get
thejjod at the sweeper position. That move allows Amy
Oil to move up to mid-field where she and Sireya Volla
Streya Volla
will join Kyle Rolhenberger. Freshman Kate Putnam has
moved to forward, where she will line up with Courtney
Macl.ean and fellow freshman Erica Johnson.
Temple (3-3) enters the contest with wins over
Michigan State, La Salle, and preseason No. 10 Pcnn
State.
UMass. who comes into the game at 2-5, have had their
problems on the offensive end so far this year. The
Minutewomen have been shut out in all five of their loss-
es, and three of their four goals on the season occurred in
a 3-2 win over American University. The Owls are the
first league opponent the Minutewomen will face this
year.
The Temple squad, who celebrated last year's win over
UMass by hanging a sign from the upper deck in
McGonigle Hall during the nationally televised
Temple/UMass men's basketball contest, will return five
starters from the A-10 tournament champion team of a
year ago.
Heading that list is senior forward Tara Silvesire,
who leads the Owls with three goals and two assists.
Sophomore forward Cherifa Nouri has also accumulated
three goals, while Claudia Ovchinnikoff has scored the
only other two tallies for Temple this season.
Notes: On the injury front Rothenbcrgcr (concussion)
and goaltendcr Stacy Walker (knee) are both improving
and arc expected to play.
Local teams winnings
fans getting excited
Is everybody out there as excited as I am for this lime of
year? Yes, school is back in session, people we haven't
seen all summer are popping back up into our lives, and I
can't walk l(X) yards without having someone talk about
the local sports scene, and how everything is going well
for our hometown boys,
• Ul's start with what wv know already. The Red Sox will be
playing in the pom -season for the first time since 1 990
I realize everyone was skep-
tical abt.Hit how fans would
read to the players after the
strike ended, but I woukJ like
to salute both the Red Sox
and their fans.
Many athletes from oiIkt
Litic-s have vuicixl their opin-
kjns on how IVjNton faas are
the best fans to play in fivnt of because they arc so knowledgeable
about the sports tht^ cheer about.
They applauded Erik Hanson's pitching performance
when his no-hitter was broken up with nobody out in the
sixth and they booed when it was posted on the left field
scoreboard that the Yankees went ahead of the Blue lays.
Boston fans are always aware of all that is around them.
The celebration was not of violence and turning cars
over, but of hugging and high-fiveing everyone, young and
old, big and small, that was near. Even when you got out
to the sidewalk and in your cars people continued to cheer
and slap hands, while not a siren was heard.
Several members of the team, including the aping
lohnny Pesky climbed onto police mounts and rode down
the first and third baselines shaking hands with fans.
Every member of the team came out of the dugout after
the traditional champagne showers, donning division
champion T-shirts. They then proceeded to olf the shirts
and throw them to fans in the bleachen; and grandstands.
The strike seemed so far away.
• The Patriots are off to a 1-2 start, but have played tha-e
of the toughest five teams in the league and have a week off
now to a'group. The extra wtx-k hopefully will help Drew
feel a lot better before they travel to Atlan;a next weekend.
The offense which looked so good in the prc-season has
been absolutely dreadful in the red zone, scoring a touch-
down only once in 15 trips inside their opponents 20.
However the defense has kepi the Pals in every game so
far this season. The defensive corps got better as the year
went on in 1994, and if the trend repeals this season, when
the offense gets back in high gear, they will be unstoppable.
• On to my favorite topic and. no, it's not Dave Kreig.
Dan Duquette was the best thing to happen to the
Bruins this off .season. He showed Harry Sinden how to
spend some cash in order to make an iinpact. Sinden
opened his wallet a little more than he normally would,
and signed no less than four players that will make an
instant impact on this year's team.
Kevin Stevens, Shawn McEachem, )ocy Mullen all with
Stanley Cup rings from their time in Pittsburgh and Todd
Elik will all contribute mightily to the Black and Gold's
cause.
No one will dare take a penalty against the Bruins if Al
lafrate returns to form, as he and Ray Bourque can fire
away from the point and if it doesn't get ihrough. Stevens
and Cam Neely will be there to put the garbage rebounds
in the net. Adam Oales. with one of the softest pair of
hands in the NHL. can set up any of them for even more
quality scoring chances. All five are perennial All-Stars,
how many teams can say that about their power plays?
But the scariest thing of all inay be the fact they now
have a second line. The Bruins lost to New Icrsey in the
first round last year because the Devils could check
Boston's first line and lake their chances with the rest of
the team. It worked, but ihat won't work in 1996.
This year will also prove that Blaine Lacher is not a Mike
MoffatI prototype. Lacher will not have a sophomore slump
because he has the attitude needed to be an NHL goalie.
Anyone who takes a swipe al Claude Lemieux like he did in
the playoffs last year can play on my favorite team.
Here are some random thoughts to chew on and spit
out:

Moms discuss welfare, child care
By Amy Porodysz
Collegian Staff
At least seven mothers, several of
whom brought children, held the first
"Kaniily Court" session in front ol the
Student Union Mini-Slore Friday
morning to discuss obstacles that
face student parents and to make a
"wish list."
-Once {Gov. William) Weld signs
the new proposal |lo eliminate stale
fundcxj child care two years j I will lose
my day care." said Tammy Ketcham. a
sophomore scx-iology major.
Weld is no longer insistent on a
two-year limit for welfare benefits in
Massachusetts because he is 'hoping
to enforce it when a federal overhaul
of welfare is approved by the
Republican-dominated Congress."
accordiitg to yesterday's Boilun Cilobe
Ketcham said she thinks that if the
welfare proposal is passed, but not
quickly, all other public funds will be
used up. Day care for her two chil-
dren would cost $28UO per semester,
according to Ketcham. who may have
to take an additional student loan lo
pay for it.
Weld's welfare proposal was one
of many issues discussed al the meet
ing. The high cost and low quality of
child care and the University admin-
istration's lack of support for student
parents were among the other topics.
The University of Massachusetts
has its own day care program with 7H
slots, but only two of the women pre
sent had children enrolled Since
Student rides 267 miles for charity
By P«ni-lyn Cohen
Collagion Staff
Last week University of Massachusetts student Michael
Westemiann look a giant step into the woHd of communi-
ty involvement when he completed the 267 miles of the
Boston lo New York AIDS bicycle ride.
The 24-year-old computer science major said. "It was
ihe most positive thing I have ever done in nn life."
The ride raised more then $6.5 million and is being
called the largest AIDS fund raiser in the world There
were over 5200 participants, ranging in age from 16 lo
7 1 . coming from 29 stales and seven countries.
The money raised went lo three organizations: The
Fenway community health center in Boston, the Lesbian
and Gay community service center in New York, and the
Community Health project of New York.
Pallotta and Associates, a fundraising consulting com-
pany, which was responsible for the first rides — from
San Francisco to Los Angeles — in May of 1994 and
1995. which raised more than $6 million combined, orga
nizcd this ride as well.
Presently the company is organizing rides from
Minneapolis to Chicago and from Orlando lo Miami.
"A real connniimcnl"
An avid cyclist, Wcsiermann quickly learned that there
was more to gelling involved in the ride than bicycling
267 miles.
"It was a real commitment," he said.
Each participant was required to raise a minimum of
$1 200, and according to Westermann. fund raLsing can be
a "real pain in the bull."
People in the area were interested in the ride, yet
became hesitant when Ihey learned the money raised was
going to Boston and New York charities rather then local
organizations, according to Westermann. Thus, he looked
to friends and colleagues for money and got his largest
donation from a farmer in Leeds.
Atwul a month before the ride Westermann increased
his training from an average of 1 50 miles a week to 200,
reducing the number of rides while increasing the mileage.
Ride organizers put together training rides and clinics for
the participants, yet Westermann preferred to train alone.
Aware of the ride's hilly terrain, Westermann focused
his training on Mount Skinner
■Hills worried me," he said. "So I started riding Mount
Skinner a few limes a day."
The night befoa- the ride. Westermann headed down to
Boston accompanied by a friend vnlh whom he wixjid be rid
ing. They attended an orientation and buflit dinner where
they were briefed about the ride and safety precautions.
'Safely was Nircsscd." he said. "It was not about a race.
It was a ride."
The ride
Alongside 5200 others, Westermann took off from
Boston at 7:50 am on Sept 1 5 They rode along the closed
streets of Boston heading southeast toward Conncxiicul.
Al the first rest slop he met three 16-year-old boys
from Barnstable, just old enough to participate. He spent
the next three days riding with them.
At the end of each day, the riders would slop, check in
their cycles and check out their bags and tents. Each par-
ticipant was given a color coded and numticred tag. corre-
lated to where ihey would camp and More their bikes, for
his or her wrist, bicycle, bag and tent. Dinner was served
in a community area.
In addition, massage therapists donated their lime al
each campsite to help sooth the aches and pains of the
over 90 miles covered each day.
"It was so well organized," Westermann said. "I was in
awe. I was never left wondering what would happen next
"By the end of the first day I was so enthralled with
what I was doing... Everyone was so friendly. There was
never any shortage of conversation."
Around 8:50 p.m. each night a stage was set up lo pro-
vide the participants with information about the next days
ride as well as for entertainment.
Morale never waned even when the weather turned and
the riders were soaked with rain.
"It was about people helping people and working
together to accomplish something." Westermann said. "It
was my first real volunteer experience.
"I've been lucky. I've never lost someone I cared about
(to AIDS|. Bui I know the day is going lo come and I
don't want lo say that I never did anything."
The ride culminated in New York City's F.ast Village.

Women of color speak about racism
By Michelle Hillman
Collegian Staff
Various panelists talked about how
issues of color and culture are incor-
porated with class, gender, and sexu-
ality and how it has shaped their
lives.
The Women of Color Program of
the Everywoman's Center sponsored
a panel discussion entitled "Voices
Within" on Thursday. Sept. 21.
The panel of female speakers
included keynote speaker Judith
LeBlanc. who became a member ol
the Communist Party in 1974.
LeBlanc. who said she believes in
anything "...that can help get lo the
source of racism." tiegan her talk by
focusing on the victims of racism.
She slated that the victims are not
creating their own problems, and
they need to find a way lo stop that
widespread belief.
"...Racism is old as dirt and to
blame victims is out of step with 500
years of history." said LeBlanc.
Part of the problem, according to
LeBlanc. is that there is a constant
struggle between the "haves and
have-nots" in scKiely and that only a
"...greater unity of people will
change what happens in Congress."
Other panelist speakers who par-
ticipated in "Voices Within," includ-
ed jane Sapp. Alexandrina
Deschamps, Joyce White-Deer
Vincent, Shyamala Ivatury, Maria
Rcinarl Pumarejo, and Ada Sanchez.
Deschamps, a Women's Studies
professor al UMass. remembered
"colorism" and "class issues" as the
first two things she experienced com-
ing from the Caribbean lo the United
States.
She said she envisions a lime when
"...women of color begin to take care
of their own business."
"... Decolonizing the minds of
some people and not allowing the
media to place restrictions on what
they may accomplish in society, poses
a step in the right direction," she
said.
The panelists were in agreement
that Western feminists are attempting
to universalize principles and by
doing this they exclude many women,
thus creating their own form of
racism.
"Western feminists take their con-
ception of family and push it down
our throats. Refusing lo consider that
not all women are a part of the white
middle class misinterprets the whole
conception of family," Deschamps
said.
Sapp spoke about how she attend-
ed a segregated school and how one
of her darker friends was constantly
taunted because of the color of her
skin.
"I move with a sense of resistance,
because thai is the only way I know
how lo live My life gives me a sense
of passion and purpose but I feel as
though I am walking on a minefield
waiting for an attack on my dignity
and pride." Sapp said.

those 78 slots are distributed
between undergraduates, graduates
and faculty/staff — one- third for
each group — it can be difficult lo
gel a position. Also, only full-time
slots are- available.
Fees range from $106-$ 1 60 per
week, depending on the age of Ihe
child, family size and income, accord-
ing lo Marianne McKim. budget and
personnel manager for Child Care
Services.
Becky Woodworih. a junior psy-
chology major, cannot afford health
insurance for her l5~monlh-old
daughter. She gels $150 per week in
child support payments, $157 ol
which goes toward a day care not
affiliated with UMass.
"I can be poor now and lough it
out for a few years," Woodworih
said. "Or I can be below the poverty
level lor the rest of my lile."
Woodworih also said that vhe is
currently unable lo work, another
factor in her situation.
'How am I going lo work with a
baby'.'" she asked. "Put her on my
back and do work study'.'"
The "wish li«"
Elaine Dudklewicz. a faculty mem-
ber and pare-nt, slalcti what she want
ed on the wish list
"I I want I what we all want -
affordable day care- and family-orien
lated day care." she said
Dudkiewicz and her husband are
full-time empkjyees of the University,
and he takes classes through the
University Without Walls (UWW)
As staff members, the fee for
University Child Care for their
21-month old would have been
$165 per wc-ek. Dudkiewicz said
'There's no way,' she said. 'We
just couldn't fit it into the budget.'
The child care laciliiy she chose in
Belchertown allowed a more flexible
schedule, while the University 'pro-
gram was solely full lime,"
Dudkiewicz said.
Dudkiewicz described herself as
"line ot the lucky one>> "
\'icky Dunbar, a junior IIRTA major
with a four year old son, said. 'I can't
get quality clay care- with a voucfK-r."
When Dunbar was looking for
afternoon child care for her son who
attends morning preschool in
Sunderland, she found there- was only
one program that met her iransporta
lion ni-cxls and would lake a welfare-
voucher.
'The woman lets him watch
Oprah' and Geraldo' in the after-
noons." she said.
Other mothers said they would like
to see administrative policies that are
more considerate of student parents,
for example, scheduling classes and
exams during weekday hours when
the mosi child care is available

"I would like this University to
reaffirm that poverty and children
should not be a fiarrier to higher edu-
cation," Si id CjSS President Shan
Manikkalingam at Thursday's Faculty
Senate Meeting.
Senior Robin Johnson, president of
the Single Parents' Association, a reg-
istered student organization,
described student parents as 'kind of
an invisible group."
"We nc-ed to let Ihe Campus commu-
nity know that we are- here-," she said.
Last year Johnson had a final exam
at 8 a.m., but her 12- year-old son's
schcx)! in Northainplon didn't start
until 9 a.m. Johnson was lold that she
would have lo complete her exam al
the same lime as the students who
arrivc-d at 8 am 'Institutions arc
slill running like there is a full-time
homemaker al home and a male earn-
ing enough money lo support that.'
said Ccx'ilia Rio, child care coordina-
tor for the Graduate Student
Employee (GFIO) organization.
According to Rio, graduate stu-
dents are not eligible lor welfare ben-
efits (because their education is con-
sidere-d 'preifcssional development.'
"The Graduate Student Senate
(GSS) has a child care voucher pro-
gram which is an average subsidy of
$50 ... I which I bare-ly makes a dent cwi
child care- nixxis," Manikkalingam said.
Graduate students have fx.-en at the
forefront of campus discussions
about child care, and the new
"Family Court," is no exception.

Panel examines foreign policy
By Mkho*! EKott
Collegion Staff
Republicans in Congress and
President Clinton are not agree-
ing on much these days. With an
administration hindered by popu-
larity ratings that are decent at
best, and Republicans on Capitol
Hill with presidential ambitions,
most legislative and policy under-
takings are stained by party poli
tics.
According to a panel discussion
al Smith College Wed night, this
governmental infighting does not
extend lo U.S. foreign policy.
The panel included Gregory
White and l.uan Troxel of Smith
College, and Michael Klarc ol the
Five College Program in Peace and
World Security Studies (PAWSS )
Despite campaign rhetoric
which promist-d change, the differ-
ences in foreign policy between
Clinton and Congress thus far
"have been a difference of
nuance," White said.
"The president is slill the motor
of U.S. foreign policy." making
excessive interfere-nce on the part
of Congress inappropriate. "This is
a trend occurring regardless ol
party distinction," White added.
While alluded lo several
instances in which the administra-
tion look foreign matters into its
own hands without the direct con-
sent of Congress. Secretary of the
Treasury, Robert Rubin, extended
billions of dollars in loans to
Mexico without authorization
from Congre-ss in order to stabilize
Ihe currency after the peso col-
lapsed last year.
"Both branches of government
are playing lo Ihe same constituen-
cies," White said, giving both
Clinton and Congress incentives to
remain with the sttiliis quo
Troxel. who concentrated on
recent developments in the war in
the former Yugoslavia, agreed thai
Congress has an interest in main
laining the prcsidenl's authority
over foreign policy.
The fluctuating nature of the
post-Cold War period has been
the primary cause of U.S. foreign
policy shifts, and not
Washington's power changes
resulting from the '92 and '94
elections — an explanation for the
relative unity between both
Congress and the President, said
Troxel.
Recent advancements by the
Croat-Bosnian government coali-
tion 'could really lead lo a wider
war." Troxel said, engulfing Ihc
entire Balkans region and. in a
worse case scenario, dragging in
several major powers, such as
Russia or Germany. The sudden
regression of Serb power in the
region — not pressure from
Republicans — has enabled
Clinton to aggressively assert a
new U.S. policy there.
Klare. although agreeing in prin-
ciple with the panel that 'there- has
not been a drastic shift |in U.S.
foreign policy] since Republicans
came lo power." nonetheless
cmphasi/c-d that their impact will
not be insignificant.
"Any party which puts lesse
Helms in charge of foreign policy
is not acting rationally." Klare said,
referring lo the Senator from
North Carolina, chairman of the
Senate Commiliec on Foreign
Relations.
Republican proposals to revital-
ize Reagan-era "big ticket" defense
items such as SDI. also known as
the "Star Wars" program, could
preive lo 'undermine our security,"
by backing Russia into a corner
with the only option of a renewed
arms race, Klare said.
Klare also addressed the risks
imposed by reducing U.S. partici-
pation in United Nations peace-
keeping operations. "|Toj anyone
who is concerned about the secu-
rity of the U.S.. having a U.N.
with the capacity to deal with
crises is wilhin our interests,"
Klare said.
The most pressing dilemma fac-
ing US. policy makers is that of
relations with Russia and China,
said Klarc.
Congress has supported the
reduction of aid packages lo
Russia, which, "will only strength-
en the hand of ultra- nationalists,*
according to Klarc.
Republican leaders have also
blasted Clinton for making fre-
quent polite overtures towards
China — a dangerous stance to
lake, said Klarc, considering Ihat
China is "extremely paranoid" of
U.S. intentions.
"We could easily move in a
direction which would provoke a
Cold War with China." Klarc said.
The discussion, entitled.
"Republicans, Clinton and U.S.
Foreign Policy," was the second in
a series of lectures sponsored by
PAWSS, and it was held in
McConnell Hall, Smith College.

SGA elections ratified Thursday
Orchard Hill Qovemor & Commuter Treasurer candidates tied
By Allison Connolly
Collegian Staff
The Student Government Association elections for stu-
dent area government, senate and house council were rati-
fied Thursday night, making the SGA roster official.
SGA Speaker Dan Castellano said that there were a
couple of issues that arose during this election.
"We had a couple of really tight races." Castellano said.
"There were two ties, one for Orchard Hill area governor
and one for the commuter area government treasurer.
Both will be broken b> the senate at the first meeting of
the SGA on Oct 4"
After implementing a new redistricting plan to distrib-
ute student representation more equally between on and
off- campus residents, the SGA is confident that those
elected can and will make a difference.
"We're really excited about the makeup of Ihe senate
this year because we have a good mix of upperclassmen
and incoming students." Castellano said. "We have
enough experience in the senate to give a deeper perspec-
tive on issues and enough incoming students thai will
make the future of the SGA stronger. Basically, they are
the future leaders of the SGA."
Castellano said his organization does not have the
resources to advertise as much as they would like.
Therefore, it is up to the students themselves to go out
and meet the people they would represent if elected.
"The perspective of the SGA is that we like to leave it
up to the candidates to advertise the election themselves
because they do a more efficient job with it."
Castellano said. "It also gets them in touch with their
constituents."
Castellano was pleased with the election process and
looks forward to a promising year.
"This time around, voter turnout was strong at the
polls." Castellano said. "With a lot more students cam-
paigning, it gets the word out about SGA and it gets stu-
dents involved in campus issues."
Anyone who is still interested in getting involved may
speak with Dan Castellano in Rm 424 of the Student
Union, or call 545-0341 for more information.

Library benefactor reveals himself
By Matthew Poltinger
Collegian Staff
The previously anonymous donor of a SlOO.UOU gift to
Northampton's Forbes Library was revealed Friday after-
noon at the library's capital campaign kick-off.
Dilman |. Doland. a 74-year-old retired psychology
professor from Smith College, made his donation in sup-
port of the recent campaign to renovate the lUl -year-old
library.
A Northampton resident for more than 40 years, and
frequent patron of the library. Doland had originally
intended to leave the gift in his will, but decided to make
the donation during his lifetime when he heard the
library's application for a state grant was rejected.
Doland. who spoke briefly at the campaign kick-off,
expressed his belief that adequate communily support
could be drummed up to meet the $500,000 goal of the
public phase of the fund drive.
"I think anonymity served its purpose — I think we got
lots of very good publicity for the campaign." he said. '"I
feel confident that the capital campaign is going to be a
huge success, that the grant application is going to be
funded next round, and that Forbes Library's second cen-
tury will be as distinguished as its first."
Donna Kenny, co-chair of the campaign said. "It really
was a wondcHul action on his par* because it contributed
lo restoring momentum and an upbeat feeling about the
campaign at a time when people were a little discour-
aged."
In addition to revealing the identity of the philan-
thropist, campaign coordinators also announced that the
fund-raiser has already achieved half of the $500,000
goal in advance donations.
"I think I the library) is a real treasure." Kenny said. "...
This is one of the crown jewels in the valley — architec-
turally, c-ducationally and culturally."
The planned renovation project for the library will
involve no new construction, but rather the reconfigura-
tion of the interior in an aim to expose some of the build-
ing's original architectural attributes. Air-conditioning
and the introduction of online services are also pari of the
renovation package.
Accordingly, the reference room will be named for
Doland.
Forbes Library, built in 1894. is one year older than the
New York Public Library, which is celebrating its centen-
nial this year.

"(That day] was the most hc-ctic."
Westermann said.
The riders lined up for a proces-
sion where they were given
Boston-New York AIDS Ride
T-Shirts. and greeted a few celebri-
ties that were there* to lend support.
Among the celebrities, were Patrick
Stewart of "Star Trek: the Next
Generation' and Doug Savant of
"Mel ruse Place."
"(Savant I came up and shook my
hand." Westermann said. "He looked
familiar. I didn't realize who he was
until he had already walked away."
Westermann is already planning to
ride next year and hopes to get more
involved with the organizational side
of the ride.
"I'd like to try to get some names
involved." he said. "Maybe contact
some professional cyclists. I want to
get involved in the organizational
side."
Despite the financial success of
the ride. Pallotta and Associates
Spokeswoman Kathy Stevens said the
experience was not just about raising
money.
"It wasn't about riding a bike." she
said. "The ride was about people
personally challenging themselves lo
do things they didn't think they
could."
Wc*stermann said that the personal
challenge of the ride was not lost on
him.
"It changed mc," he said. "I really
accomplished something."

Vincent, from the losephine
White-Eagle Cultural Center, also
had similar feelings to those of Sapp.
Originally from South Jamaica,
Vincent grew up in New York during
busing to white schools and thus
attended such a school.
Coming from a poor social class.
Vincent trained herself to react to
racism and feels Ihal this is part of
her survival and her definition of her-
self.
Pumarejo, from Casa Laiina. did
not see a connection between colo-
nization and racism, at first.
However, she soon began to realize
its presence. As a result, Pumarejo
developed an accent as a form of
resistance lo racism.
Each of the (lanelists said she had
experienced racism in her life, and
continue to speak against classism
and colorism directed towards
women of color.

The birthday of humanity
Although usually rendered as "the Jewish New
Year." the Hebrew words Rush Hashanah literally
mean "head of the year." At fir>t glance this seems
odd. since the holiday falls in the lunar month of Tishri —
the seventh month, not the first month, according to ihe
Bible.
This is just one of the mysteries of he most sacred of
the Icwish Holy Days. What then do wi. celebrate on Rosh
Hashanah'.' According to lewish tradition, Rosh Hashanah
is the day on which God created "Adam" — the Hebrew
word for human. In other words. Rosh Hashanah is the
birthday of humanity. It is a celebration of life itself.
Now it's no small matter to celebrate the birthday of
humanity — not the sort of thing one can do adequately
with cake and ice cream (although sweets,
such as apples dipped in honey, are an
important part of the celebration). The
occasion is at once so solemn and so joyous
that it has generated a multitude of rituals.
From the many prayers and melodies
heard in the synagogue only on the High Holy Days, to
the beautiful Tashlich service in which we ritually cast
away our wrongdoings from the previous year by throw-
ing breadcrumbs into a stream. And of course, there are
joyous family gatherings, especially the festive dinners
before Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Unfortunately,
many students can't get to. if their families live far away
or if the holidays fall in the middle of the week.
While it is a distinct holiday, Rosh Hashanah does not
stand alone. Rather, it is like a sentinel standing watch
over a month of lewish celebration and reflection, which
begins with the ten-day period between Rosh Hashanah
(the New ^earl and N om Kippur (the Day of Atonement).
We call these ten days the "Days of Awe" because of
the awesome burden we fcxi, both individually and collec-
tively, to atone for our misdeeds, to make peace with our
brothers and sisters, and then to face Gods judgment,
lewish tradition holds that the gates of Heaven close as
the sun goes down on Yom Kippur. and that our fate is
sealed at that awesome moment. That is why we fast on
Yom Kippur — for on that day we are concerned solely
with the fate of the soul.
For me personally, the High Holy Days arc an cxtraor
dinary gift, a time to leave behind the worldly concerns
which otherwise occupy so much of my life. The ancient
prayers and soulful melodies, chanted in minor keys
which would sound familiar to someone from Turkey or
northern .Africa, help mo find my way to the sustained
introspection and the pntfound humility which I need in
order to hear "the still, small voice within."
Sadly, it is impossible to leave behind all worldly con-
cerns, as I. and millions of other jews around the world,
enter a synagogue on Rosh Hashanah to hear the blast of
the shofar. the rams's horn, which is sounded like a trum-
pet to awaken us spiritually. For, at this most sublime
moment I am painfully aware I am different from the
majority of people in this country and at this university.
Most of my colleagues will be at work while I am at the
synagogue, and inevitably — it happens every year — I
will miss something important. That is simply the reality
of being a minority culture in a predominantly Christian
country. It is a reality I've largely resigned myself to but
which still causes me pain.
There's no easy solution, lews comprise an extremely
diverse group, including many who consider ihem.selves
either secular or "cultural" lews, who are not religiously
observant. Many of them will go to a synagogue on Rosh
Hashanah or Yom Kippur, if at no other time during the
year, because of the sheer power of these holidays in
lewish tradition and lewish consciousness.
To complicate matters, then; are also dif-
ferent lewish denominations, just like in
Protestantism, most of which observe Rosh
Hashanah for two days. Reform |i-ws in the
U.S. and most Israeli lews — the majoritv
of whom consider them.selvcs secular — celebrate the hol-
iday for just one day.
This discrepancy, which is confusing even to many
lews, has its origins in the earliest days of the lewish
"diaspora." The sighting of the New Moon, and hence the
beginning of the holidays, had to be confirmed by lewish
priests at the Temple in lerusalem and tifen conveyed, by
means of torches placed on hilltops, to outlying lewish
communities. This process, was to say the least, inexact,
and it gave rise to the two-day observance in the diaspo-
ra.
Although our history and religious practices might seem
confusing, two things are clear; The first is the
University's policy concerning days of religious obser-
vance, which states "any student (whether lewish,
Muslim, Hindu, Bahai, Christian, Buddhist, or any other
religion) who is unable to attend classes or to participate
in any examination, study or work requirement because of
religious observance is to be provided with an opportunity
to make up the examination, study or work requirement."
Most prolessors are respectful of this policy, though some
are not. If you have a problem with this professor, call the
department head or the Ombuds office at 545-0867.
It is also clear that no policy, by itself, can make students
leel conilonable and truly welcome in our community. That
requires the support and sensitivity of the entire communi-
ty. So if you know any lewish students who arc celebrating
the holidays, consider wishing them "shanah lovah" —
which is Hebrew for "a good year." And if you know of any
student who is having difficulty because of their religion or
race or ethnicity or sexual prcfercnce, consider reaching out
a hand and letting thtmi kiiow that you're one of the people
here who truly values divcTsity. Shanah tovah!

The many turns of a friend cycle
A Si
'ou wanna come by tonight?"
"Mike, you live in freakin'
Sunderland... you might as
well live in Hoboken."
It's a little more difficult to see my
friends now that I live off campus.
Last year, the majority of us lived
in the same residence hall. We could
walk into each other's rooms, watch
some tube and then head back to our
own pad to go to sleep.
Now that we are dis
placed, it's a project to
see each other. We
have to make a "special
trip" to visit people and
rarely arc we all in one place.
Not to mention those who have
graduated and splashed into the
real-world. I saw one of those friends
this weekend, and it was so good to
see him. But it was over in two days.
Who knows how many months it will
be until we see each other again.
That is the way it was when we all
came to this campus for the first
time. We said goodbye to all of our
friends back home before coming to
school — often times making hollow
Tim
White
promises to keep in touch... We
didn't rcalize how difficult it would
be.
I still love hearing from all of my
pre-UMass friends and looking for-
ward to seeing them during vacations.
but this summer was a rcalily slap. I
didn't live at home, I movt-d away to
tackle an internship for my future
career. It was then that I realized my
high school buddies
were becoming just dis-
tant memories, rein-
forced by annual visits
or random letters.
Many of them go to
UMass. but unfortunately they are
just as busy as I am, .so I don't get to
see them often... Of all the friends
I've had from high school, only one
has been with me through it all.
That is when I wonder if the
friends I made at college are destined
to be just like my high school com-
padres — it's nice when they visit,
but it hurts more when they leave.
Moving off-campus seemed to be
the first nail in that coffin. I often
question if I should have moved off
campus in the first place. I mean hey,
I have my whole life to live off-cam-
pus, right'.'
But it wouldn't have made a differ-
ence. Most of us left anyway.
This is the big test. I suppose. This
is where we weed ou. c. -yone else.
We have all made tons of friends
through the past years, some of them
don't exist anymore or they've been
rcplaccxi.
When we look down the road ten
years from now, we will have new
friends plus the ones still around
from our past. The friends that arc
still around are the ones who matter
the most — the same friends you
make an effort to sec when you live
off campus, and who make the effort
to see you.
All the others will just be memo-
ries, reinforced by an occasional let-
ter. They'll be the ones you remem-
ber and reminisce about when sitting
around having some beers with the
friends that have stuck with you
through it all.

The myth about AIDS
Every week I call my (riend |en in Colorado and
have a long conversation with her. We talk about
what's up this week, how things are going, etc.
Every conversation begins the same way;
"Hi len. it's Mami. Have vou gone for your AIDS test
yet?"
"No."
"Why not?"
Of course, the response is a variety of excuses, but thev
all boil down to the same thing — "I can't
get AIDS, it could never happen to me."
This is one of the most frustrating things
I could possibly hear. This belief in "not
me" comes from a thought process that
awes me Quite a few people from the
gcn-x age group still want to believe that it
couldn't happen to them. AIDS has trans-
formcxi our generation and the way we han-
dle things we don't want to believe in.
Remember, most of these people have
received the same information that you and
I have around AIDS and STDs, but still
believe the myths.
Myth HIV/AIDS is a homosexual disease
Fad: One of the fastest growing groups of HIV/AIDS
patients is heterosexual women and women aged 18-25.
Myth: My boyfriend/girlfriend/partner, is not that type
of person — they aren't HIV positive.
Fact: People who are HIV positive often do not show
signs of the illness for long periods of time and can infect
others without being aware that they are positive them-
selves.
HIV and AIDS happens everyday, even here in Western
Massachu.setts.
Our generation has been transformed by HIV and
AIDS. In the '70s. people thumped like bunnies and slept
with whoever they liked.
In the '90s, we have to worry about everyone who slept
with everyone who sleeps with us. We look for love aiid
honesty in our relationships rather than a quick batia-
boom- battabang.
Most people would rather believe. "It can't happen
to me." But it does. One of my friends,
Brian, was sexually promiscuous in high
school. A year after he graduated from
college, he found out he was HIV-posi-
tive. Later that year, he died in an "acci-
dent" when his car smacked head-on into
a brick wall. Brian had a hard time believ-
ing that anything bad could happen to
him, and when it did, he couldn't handle
it (lust a disclaimer: there are many peo-
ple who live with HIV and AIDS and are
not suicidal).
Start taking responsibility for your
actions. Think about the fact that safer sex is just that —
safer sex. Condoms arc not 100 percent effective. Think
about the fact that the pill only protects you from preg
nancy, not HIV or STDS. Think about the fact that AIDS
and HIV affect the people around you — like family and
friends.
Think about all those things and take responsibility;
whether that means having an AIDS test regularly, lakiiig
precautions, or just thinking about yourself and being
responsible.

Letters to the Editor
Education is key
To the editor:
I am writing in response to Andrew Bryce's column
published Sept. 21, "Pity not the answer." I'm happy
he came to the conclusion that disabled people don't
need pity, and I really wish others would follow his
lead.
I myself am disabled — I'm visually impaired I was
bom this way. I've never known anything any different,
and quite frankly, I couldn't care less. I would be as
unused to perfect vision as a sighted person would be
to blindness. If I have problems in my life, they have
little to nothing to do with my eyesight. There are far
more pnxluctive sentiments in this woHd than pity. My
real obstacle isn't my inability to see well; it's living in
an inaccessible woHd and dealing with uninformed and
misinformed attitudes. To be blunt, if you really want
to help improve the lives of disabled people, get up off
your ass and work at it.
Are you in an RSO? Does that RSO distribute its
written materials in accessible formats and hold its
meetings in accessible buildings? (Good luck finding
one, by the way.) When you see a disabled person on
the street, do you stare at them, or treat them as you
would anyone else? If you are a faculty member, do
you accommodate the needs of your disabled students?
Perhaps most importantly, when you think of disabled
people, do you see them as your equals?
Mr. Bryce is correct — ditch the pity. Go out. get
educated, and do your part.

Candle and incense
burning issue
To the editor:
The new housing policies against incense and can-
dles, as presented by Michael Gilbert in the Sept. 19
issue of the Collegian, are poorly conceived and
absurd. Mr. Gilbert fails to understand Ihe seriousness
of the situation when he says "some students may sec
this as an abridgement of their rights." We most cer-
tainly do. For many students, the burning of candles is
a very beautiful and simple way of expressing a num-
ber of religious sentiments. A candle may be burnt in
honor of a deceased friend or relative, in prayer for a
periocular need, or simply as an aid to meditation.
There are also holidays where candle burning is
observed. Most notably, the Menorah candles burnt by
lews during Hanukkah and the vigil candle burnt by
Pagans during the Winter Solstice. Incense is another
basic tool used in worship. Both followers of Native
American tradition religions and Pagans make exten-
sive use of various incenses in religious ceremony and
meditation.
These policies are an attack on the freedom of prac-
titioners of minority religions. Neither Pagans nor
Native Americans have a structure like Christian
churches or lewish synagogues, so home worship is a
necessity. Other religions may either be small enough
in this area not to have a temple of their faith here, or
may have practices involving candles and incense
which arc traditionally held in the home. Practitioners
of minority religions need to be able to practice their
faith without persecution in their own homes, and yet
acts that are integral to several religions have been
banned without even consulting the affected groups.
"These regulations are being dictated by Ihe housing
staff on the basis of "fire-safety." Seeing that there
were "three or four serious fires" last year (actually
three), some might think this concern is legitimate. In
actuality, there have been only five candle-related fires
in the past five years, according to Environmental
Health and Safety.
Most of Ihe Pagan and religious communt'lies bum
candles and incense frequently without causing fires.
That IS because they observe a few simple precautions
when using candles or incense, such as burning them
only m a wide-based container and keeping them away
Irom tapestries or bedding. The former housing policy
which required safe holders for incense at least encour-
aged students to use caution. Nobody is going to obey
or even listen to this new policy, however, and soon
the housing judicial system will be full of students
requesting hearings for these cases.
And why is incense included? When you consider
that only three fires in the last five years were caused
by incense, and that those three people were probably
already breaking housing policy by not burning within
a cotter, the basis for this restriction seems nther flim-
sy.
To infringe on these activities in the dormiiories is
infringing on these activities in Ihe home. Freshmen
and sophoiTiore students do not have the option of
choosing other residences. If they commit the crime of
burning a candle in honor of a deceased relative, and
are evicted from the dormitories, they will therefore be
suspended from the University since they cannot live in
ine dorms. The absurdity and unfairness of these rules
IS obvious when you consider the student forced to
leave a state-run university for the simple act of light-
ing a candle or • stick of incense, especially in this
country with freedom of religion and protection of pri-
vacy as founding and constitutional principles. These
unfair restrictions must go now.

DiFranco's punk/folk B-Day
By AAomi E. Helfner
Collegian Staff
ANI Off RANCO
John M. Greene Hall
Sohjrday, Sept 23, 1995
NORTHAMPTON — Take the
voice of Tina Turner, the guitar mas-
tery of lames Taylor, the anger of
Squeaky Frome and the sexiness of
Tori Amos and you've got Ani
DiFranco.
DiFranco. folk/punk/angry-chick
-music singer, played Saturday night
at lohn M. Greene Hall at Smith
College to a crowd of 2.046 scream-
ing, romping fans.
• Promoting her new album. Sol A
Pretty Girl, DiFranco has been a hit
among the folk and college audiences
for years. Her seventh album — Sot
A Pretty Girl — like all her others —
is self-produced.
The moment the lights went out,
the crowd rushed to the stage in an
effort to get as close as possible to
DiFranco and her loveliness.
DiFranco sang from both her pre-
vious albums, as well as Sot A Pretty
Girl, in her usual style of starting out
nice, slow and melodic and then tak-
ing a sudden change into powerful,
angry, reverberating guitar riffs and
harmonies.
While the change of tone is quite
sudden, these moves from "nice-girl"
folk into "angry-woman" punk rock
become familiar and welcome.
During the concert. DiFranco said,
"...this song has the usual Ani
DiFranco sound." She is trying to lull
the listener in and then turn them
upside-down, inside-out. under a
carpet, in the dark, tied up with 100
feet of dental floss. Gratefully, for the
audience, she does just that.
The sudden change in tone is what
makes DiFranco's followers love
her — the fact is that she is what she
is. straight from the heart, no smoke,
no mirrors.
Playing on her birthday. DiFranco
was treated to two separate rounds of
"Happy Birthday" from the crowd.
During the concert DiFranco com-
mented, "This is like one huge
fuckin' birthday party — thank you."
After a two-hour concert,
DiFranco returned for a whole hour
for four encores in which she and her
drummer, Andy Stochansky,
switched instruments, and
Stochansky wore a black bra thrown
onto the stage.
Responding to the stomping feet
and screaming of the crowd.
DiFranco returned for a fourth
encore. DiFranco performed "loyful
Girl," a tune from her new album,
and brought the crowd to a quiet
standstill.
DiFranco's powerful voice, master-
ful guitar, and honesty all wrapped
into one. took the crowd on a wild
ride, leaving them happy that
DiFranco isn't afraid to be "Not A
Pretty GiH."

Langebergs Maija of Chuggaland is a success
By Bryan Schworlzman
Collegion Stoff
MAUA Of CHAGGAIAND
Bosvker Auditorium
Sept. 22 J 995
With no music but her own voice, and no cast but
her song, dance, facial gestures and body movement,
Sheela Langcberg capturc-d the es.sence of her mother's
world and life in Slaija ofChaggaland.
The play opens with Langeberg portraying her
great- grandmother, describing Maija at age 12. Soon
she switches roles — as she does quite often — to
Maija's point of view. Langeberg's eyes portrayed a
giddy teenager who has fallen in love for the first time.
Going against Islamic tradition. Maija rejects the
man her father had chosen for her and chooses instead
a man she loves. Michael, who was a Catholic.
Through her stubbornness and insistence for her own
happiness, the wedding is arranged, but before she can
marry, Maija must endure a ritualistic yet terrifying cli-
toral circ-umcision.
Tragedy first strikes Maija on what should be the
happiest day of her life, her wedding day. Her mother
is killed in an accident, leaving her alone with her new
husband and in- laws. The community blames Maija
for the accident, saying she is cursed for rejecting
Islam and marrying a Chri.stian. Maija soon becomes
pregnant with her first child, but unfortunately, the
child succumbs to the measles two years later. After
her second pregnancy ends in a miscarriage. Maija's
in-laws call her the "misfortune carrier "
Maija falls into hopeless despair; she "loathed every
moment" and was ready "to end life" as she set out to
drown herself in a nearby river when she was confront-
ed and comforted by her mother's spirit.
With all the wrath and fear in the world, Maija asks
her mother's spirit. " Which way do you want me to
go?* Despite all that she has lost, Maija chooses to
live.
The play had its sharc of humor to complement the
dramatic and tragic moments. Much of the humor was
conveyed without words, but Langeberg came up with
witty lines such as. "by the time I was in my fourth
month it looked as if I was going to give birth to buffa-
lo."
It was not a buffalo she gave birth to, but twins.
Soon afier the birth of her twins, she leamed of her
husband infidelity. She Icfi Michael and relumed to
her home village and her father. Her father greeted her
with kindness, and breaking with tradition, gave Maija
her own land to farm. She kept up her spirits, saying.
"When I missed Michael, my mother, or my children, I
sang a song and life went on."

Fugazi rocked a sold out Peari Street crowd on Friday

Punk legends wow Pearl Street
D,C.*s Fugazi gives a sold-out crowd a lesson in integrity
By Joton Flew
Collagion GxMpondanl
FUGAZI
Peorl Street
Septamber 22, 1995
Washington D.C.'s Fugazi renowned for their innov-
ative brand of hardcore- and P.C ethics graced Pearl
Street in Northampton last Fnday.
Local hardcote band The Marshes openi-d with emo-
tional punk-sounding songs reminiscent of early
fawbox. Playing a somewhat short, yet effective, set.
The Marshes got the sold- out club rc-ady for Fugazi.
OiKe onstage, Fugazi's Ian Mackaye did his standard
commentary, which was more* cheerful then the norm,
probably due to the crowds non-violent attitude After
a simple "We're Fugazi from Washington D.C.",
Mackaye and the rest of the band ripped into "Birthday
Pony" from their latest release, Ked Medicine.
As the set went on each memt)er of Fugazi played
with such energy, one would think Pearl Street was
their all time favorite club. Mackaye and Picciotto, in
particular, shinc-d on their guitars, using feedback and
other interesting techniques.
Playing an even mixture of old and new material
from the likes of /J Songs, Repeater. Steady Diet of
Sothing. In on the Kill Taker and the new ReiJ
Medicine. Fugazi kept getting better. Highlights
included "Margin Walker', "Do You Like Me", and
"Rcxlamalion."
During "Reclamation," Mackaye's fierce guitar
attack and throat-bashing vocals brought the crowd
into a united frenzy, without crowd surfing or mosh-
ing. Fugazi also added many twists to their songs
which added to their live show.
At the beginning of"Do You Like Me*. Picciotto
declared "Do-You-Like" with his mysterious voice.
During "Suggestion." which deals with the topic of
sexual harassment. Picciotto dropped his guitar and
focused intensely on his singing, while grooving to |oc
Ijilly's funky bass lines, only to break into an all out
scream along with Mackaye.
Even if one doesn't like Fugazi's music or politics, it
would be hard not to appreciate their hard work ethic
or low ticket prices. How often do you gel a chance to
sec a top notch band play a full set plus three encores
all for five dollars?
Fugazi proved again to be one of the best live bands
in the punk/hardcore genre. Most amazing is their abil-
ity to play each show so enthusiastically and sponta-
neously. I.ast Friday was no exception.
Tony Award-winner, a hit at the FAC

CRATYFOKYOU
Fine Arts Center
September 22, 1995
The Tony Award winning musical comedy Crazy for
You danced its way into the Fine Arts Center last Friday
with a spectacularly choreographed performance that daz-
zled the sold-out audience.
Featuring songs and lyrics by George and Ira Gershwin,
the comedy also had colorful costumes and elaborate sets.
The show, set during the Depression stars Bobby Child,
(played by Noah Racey) a frustrated and unemployed
dancer. He is sent to Deadrock, Nevada, by his mother to
foreclose on the Gaiety Theater. Once in Deadrock,
Bobby falls in love with Polly (Gina Lamparella). the only
woman in the nearly abandoned mining town. What
Bobby does not know is that Polly's father owns the the-
ater and has a lot of pleasant memories about the glory
days when Polly's mother acted on the stage.
Unfortunately for Bobby, Polly discovers the reason he
is in Deadrock and refuses to see him. At his wit's end
and delemiined to win her love, Bobby dresses up as the
great Bela Zangler and invites Zangler's show girls to
vacation in Deadrock to help him save the theater, and
win Polly's heari.
The plan backfires when Polly falls in love with
"Zangler" and the real Bela Zangler shows up, also deter-
mined to win the love of his lead show giri, Tess (Shari
lordan).
The highlight of the show was the wonderfully romantic
"Shall We Dance?", a beautifully choreographed number
where Bobby and Polly first meet and fall in love.
The performance was exuberant and enthusiastic. At
limes, it was a marvel that Ihe cast members could still
sing afier performing energetic dance routines.
Racey delivered a superb performance, playing the dual
role of Bobby and Bobby playing Bela Zangler, while
Lamparella's Polly was feisty and determined.
Crazy For You is an incrwiible show. Funny, with great
music and wonderful dance talent, it's nothing short of
spectacular.

THE MASSACHUSETTS DAILY COLLEGIAN
Monday, September 25, 1995 / Page 6
Johnson kick starts UM
By Candke Flemming
Collegian Staff
With about 15 minutes to go in the half, the
Massachusetts women's soccer team seemed to be in trou-
ble.
The Minutewomen were tied 1-1 with Wright State, a
learn that came into the game with a record of 1 -4- 1 . but
the Raiders style of play was confusing the UMass
defense.
In short, this Raider team wasn't supposed to pose
much of a threat. But they were and the Minutewomen
faithful were a bit worried.
That didn't last long.
With 14 minutes to go in the first half, freshman for-
ward Karin lohnson started a chain reaction that wouldn't
stop until the 88:43 mark of the game, as five different
Minutewomen tallied making the final score 7-1.
lohnson. who collected the first point of her collegiate
career on an assist of Amy Powell's score five minutes
into the game, knocked in the first goal of her career at
the 35:59 mark off assists from Sandy Shimogaki and
Rachel LeDuc. Her score proved to be the game-winner.
"It felt really good." lohnson said about her first goal.
"Coach said I broke the ice. The first thing in my mind
was that we were winning, and then I thought. Oh. that's
my first goal."
It has taken a while for lohnson to get used to the col-
lege style of play, but yesterday's performance should
pave the way for a solid season.
"Like I said, breaking the ice made me fixM more confi-
dent." lohnson said. "College is so different. It's so much
more. You have to create so much more for yourself.
"It took a while for me to get used to the transition
from high school to college, but once it clicked. I knew."
"She played a great game." LeDuc said. "She needed
the confidence. When she puts in the hard work it's going
to pay off."
"You would like to think that breaks the ice [for herl."
Massachusetts coach |im Rudy said.
lohnson also assisted on LeDuc's first goal of the game
giving her a total of four points for the season (one goal,
two assists).
"I feel that I'm doing more for my team, and that's real-
ly what I want to be doing." lohnson said.
After the first four games produced goals mostly from
LeDuc. the question of who else was going to score
besides her was finally answered as lohnson. Powell
(twice). Elizabeth Rutherford and Tina Lightning all
scored for UMass.
Rutherford, who had one goal last season, had an
impressive weekend notching an assist on Lightning's
score along with her own outstanding goal, a rocket to the
upper left comer from 20 yards out.
Polly Hackathorn. who has been coming along as of
late, displayed her unselfishness on Lightning's goal when
she had the opportunity to take the shot herself but
instead booted a perfect pass to gel the assist.
"It helps us confidence wise." Powell said. "We all need
to start scoring."
"Everyone played a great game today." LeDuc said.
"When we get the scoring opportunities like we got today,
we are going to gel our goals. That's what we need, a
well- rounded team. Everyone stepped up today."

confinuecl from page 10
On a UMass corner kick, lulie
Magid lofted the ball lo the six yard
line where LeDuc redirected it past
Sunny McConnell for the game win-
ning score.
"I was just there at the right time."
LeDuc said of her fourth game win-
ner of the year "It was a great cross
by lulie and I just timed it right."
The Aggies refused lo give up and
pressured UMass to the end. but the
back four of the Minutewomen
refused to give up another goal.
"That was the most pressure that
our defense has faced this year."
Rudy said.
With just over 14 minutes left.
Dion came out to slop a Nicole
Shook shot but it took an unusual
hop and got past the UMass keeper.
Erica Iverson chased the ball down
and cleared it before crossing the
goal line preserving the lead, which
would never be in danger again.
"It was a really great play."
Ahernholz said. "She really saved
the game for us.'
Massachusetts 7. Wright Stale I
The one question that seemed to
be on everyone's minds surrounding
the Minutewomen was when the
scoring distribution would be spread
out more evenly. That question was
answered Sunday as five different
players tallied for UMass in a 7-1
pounding of Wright State.
Freshman Karin lohnson opened
the flood gales as she collected the
ricochet of LeDuc's shot that
bounced off the crossbar. It broke a
1-1 deadlock late in the first half,
and was her first goal at the colle-
giate level.
lohnson had collected her first
UMass point earlier in the game
when she assisted on the first of Amy
Powell's two goals, lohnson finished
with a goal and two assists.
LeDuc knocked home her eighth
of the year when she collected a pass
from lohnson that went through the
legs of a Wright State defender and
sent her in alone on Auld. LeDuc
added another in the 55th minute
when defender Erin Lynch fed the
senior co-captain and beat Auld to
the far side
field hockey
continued from page 10
After the rough spot, most of
the Minutewomen agreed that the
Temple game came at a perfect
time.
"We needed to play Temple
right now." said goaltender Stacy
Walker, who notched her second
shutout of the season. "It was the
perfect time, and we needed the
win."
"It was just so important,"
Donnelly said. "This is big. It's a
good way for us to start what
could be a nice little run here. This
is the best we've played for 70
minutes."
"Temple came along at the right
time." Ott said. "They're our
biggest rival. I think this is defi-
nitely the stepping block towards
continuing our season."
Donnelly switched the
Massachusetts line-up before the
game and the results paid immedi-
ate dividends. |en Gutzman earned
her first collegiate start at sweeper
and was excellent in her first game
there, combining with Melanie
Gore and Andrea Cabral to play a
solid game for UMass.
"|en being solid back there
allows us to be much more offen-
sive." Donnelly said.
Ott. who moved from sweeper
to midfield. made a big difference
in Massachusetts' transition
offense, playing well in her return
to her old position.
"I guess Megan just figured we
needed some help in the midfield,
to keep the ball pushed up," Ott
said. "I'll go wherever they want
me to go."
"Amy is very explosive with the
ball." Donnelly said. "She did a lot
creating attack on the left."
Temple looked strong in the
opening minutes of the game, set-
ting the early tempo, but after
UMass goalie Stacy Walker made a
save on the Owl's first penalty cor-
ner opportunity, UMass came to
life.
The Minutewomen carried the
play from that point forward, as
ihe ball remained in UMass' offen-
sive end for the majority of the
second half as well.
After Putnam put the
Minutewomen ahead. Temple
fought desperately to knot the
score. The Owls earned two penal-
ty comers in the final three min-
utes, and attacked the net hard as
the game wound down, but key
stops by Gutzman and Gore pro-
tected the UMass lead.
The win improves UMass to 5-5
(1-0 Atlantic 10). while Temple
falls to 5-4.
"It was a good first step. We'll
see if we can continue it."
Donnelly said.
The schedule doesn't gel any
easier for the Minutewomen who
will return to action Wed. when
they will tangle with the No. 6
Northeastern Huskies in Boston.

An Ingoglia-induced march down-
field was spoiled, as Matt lordan and
the Minulcmen could not convert on
fourth and one on the Northeastern
seven-yard line (Nothing against the

why give the ball to him when

Eric Oke missed a 51- yard field goal
to foil the Minutemen drive. There
was 1:11 left on the clock, and
Northeastern had the ball on its 20.
down by a touchdown and conver-
sion.
With one eye on the endzone, and
the other on the clock, the Huskies
gave it their best effort. A couple of
first downs pulled Northeastern to its
own 37-yard line with just 1 1 sec-

remaining. With one second or 10 sec-

thought. Nah. I laughed to myself, my
head shaking from side lo side. No way.
Murphy took the snap, rolled out
to the right, and was nailed by
Vernard Fennell for the sack. The
ball, however, popped loose, and full-
back leff Reale snatched it up off the
turf, and sprinted up the sidelines for
a 19-yard touchdown. I shook my
head, and smiled after what tran-
spired. The Huskies still, still, still
had a chance to win this thing with a
successful two-point conversion.
Murphy to Smith was a charm the
first time. This one was defiecied by
Minutemen safety lason Tudryn. thus
ending a completely bizarre and
far-fetched run.
I had to stand there for a few sec-
onds after the game, making sure that
there wasn't any milliseconds left on
the clock, and there wasn't any balls
being popped loose. It was over,
right? Yeah, it's over. I thought,
shaking my head as I walked down to
interview the players.

seconds. I want the ball in the third and fourth
quarters."
Ingoglia. playing despite a nagging hamstring
problem, ran through the Northeastern defense
all day long. At times, he would gain an extra
three to five yards with Husky defenders
strapped to his back. "I'm running a little better,
a lot better than the first two games. I feel very
happy about that. 1 feel the offensive line did a
great job." Ingoglia said. "I was not thinking
about the hamstring, it feels good. I took some
time off this week, so it's getting there."
On one occasion Ingoglia literally leaped over
a crowd of Northeaslem linemen, landed on his
feet, and came down at the one-yard line.
"He's amazing, he's just amazing. He never
ceases lo amaze me. It's fourth-and-one, he
jumps over the pile, lands on his feel and is uf)set
at himself because he didn't gel into the end
zone," Hodges said. "He just continues to get the
thing done. Wc had some NFL guys in last week
and they really liked him. and you can see why."
Northeastern got on the board first, marching
down the field deep into UMass territory, on its
first drive. The Minutemen made a big stop
forcing the Huskies to settle for a field goal.
Ingoglia and junior fullback Frank Alessio,
who had a quiet 98 yards, continued to move
the ball downfield as Ingoglia was able to
record the three touchdowns.
Leading 21-6 at the end of the third quarter
due to a pair of field goals, the Minutemen sat on
their lead and the Huskies came storming back.
UMass quarterback Vito Campanile threw a pa.ss
intended for wide receiver Kevin Bourgoin, but
Northeastern comerback Mark Hopkins leaped
and grabbed the pass for an interception. The
interception changed the momentum of the game
in the Huskies favor. Northeastern tailback Brian
Vaughan closed the score lo 21- 13 after a
two-yard touch down before the final crazy
touchdown that concluded the game.
"We threw the interception and that gave
them a little bit of life. They put it in the end
zone and all of a sudden it gave them a spark."
Hodges said. "That's all they need. They play
tough and they don't quit."
'I'm not going to miss playing these guys.
they are a tough team. Every year they come
after you," Ingoglia said. "They are going to
knock some teams off this year."
UMass is now above sea-level sporting a 2- 1
record. The Minutemen have improved each
week, cleaning up mistakes and converting big
plays. The vast improvement from week one
when they lost to Richmond, has resulted in
two straight victories, and a confident team.
'I'm not sure if I'm young enough
to do this. That was as wild of a fin-
ish as I've ever been involved with."
Hodges said. 'That was something,
that was really something*
What? That's not normal? Heaving
a pass down field and having some-
one on the same team triple-covered
pull it down, leaving a second on the
clock, while then having your QB
thrown down like a ragdoli before the
ball is sprung loose, only to have a
teammate pick it up and run for a
TD. all of this happening with one
measly second on the clock. That
isn't supposed to occur?
'You couldn't write that script in a
million years." Hodges said with a
laugh, shaking his head.
'I didn't even know what hap-
pened, to be honest with you. I
thought the game was over after I
saw him lying on the ground." said
Fennell. who sacked Murphy to cause
the fumble. "All of a sudden I heard
the crowd roaring, and I didn't think
wc had many fans there, so I knew
something bad had happened."
It wasn't too bad. as ihey squeaked
out a third straight win that came
down to the closing minutes. Or clos-
ing seconds. Or while we're at it,
after Saturday afternoon, closing sec-
ond. In 1995 it was Frank Alessio's
spectacular 54-yard run with 1:55
left. The 1994 version featured
Ingoglia's four-yard score with :25.
The 1995 game was ... well ... you
know what happened. "Glad I
don't have to come back here again."
Ingoglia said, shaking his head with a
smile, after his last game ever at
Parsons Field.
Me. too. With all that head-shaking,
I don't think my neck could hack it.

X-Country teams sweep weekend meets
■ Women continue to run wild ■ Men beat Vermont, Maine
By G»«y Kons
Collegian Staff
The Massachusetts women's cross
country team just seems to keep get-
ting better and better.
Setting several personal records for
the second straight week, the
Minutewomen improved iheir record
to 7-0-1, and kept their unbeaten
streak alive.
When it hosted it only home meet
of the season Saturday, the UMass
team scored an impressive 20 points,
easily defeating Vermont (57 points)
and Central Connecticut (82 points).
"We ran strong, and we ran in con-
trol. I thought we had a very good
chance lo win this meet, and we real-
ly ran well." said UMass coach lulie
LaFreniere.
Massachusetts has been led all sea-
son by sophomore Rebecca
Donaghue. and Saturday was no
exception as she cruised to victory on
a tough home course. Donaghue
improved on last week's personal
record -set ting performance, turning
in a time of 17:55.
"Rebecca and len's runs were out-
standing. They both made significant
improvements over last year's races
on this course." LaFreniere said.
)en Waeger took second overall,
posting a personal best 17:41.
Christy Martin and Kristin
Donaldson also clocked individual
bests as they finished fourth and
sixth, respectively. Martin turned a
time of 18:15. while Donaldson
notched a 18:54.
Sophomore Katie Greenia was the
Minutewomen's fifth flnisher. taking
seventh overall, with a time of 18:51.
Fifth-year senior Cheryl Lyons was
out with an injury, but |en DelcoUe
picked up the pace, placing into the
overall top ten. clocking a 19:52.
LaFreniere also noted that junior
Molly Dunlap ran well, crossing the
line as the Minutewomen's sixth fin-
isher. 1 Ith overall in 19:55.
"I think they were motivated to
run this course. We're going lo be
redesigning the course for next sea-
son, so I think they wanted to really
perform on this course for the last
time." LaFreniere said.
Vermont's first finisher across the
line was Kcra Smalley. who took third
overall with a lime of 18:02. Cecille
Risvoll. UX'M's scxond runner, turned
in a mark of 18:20. as she placed fifth.
The Catamounts had two others in the
top 10. as Tanja Odegard and Stacey
Keane took eighth and ninth, respec-
tively. Central Connecticut failc-d to
creek the top 10.
"We have a week off. then we'll
get to see what a lot of our A- 10
competition will be like, when we
race the Paul Short." LaFreniere said.
UMass has next week off to pre-
pare, since a trip to Bcthelehem.
Pennsylvania Oct. 7 for the Paul
Short Invitational is next up.

CoUagion Staff
The Massachusetts men's cross
country team had a homecoming of
sorts this weekend as it hosted its
first meet in two seasons.
Though they haven't raced on the
course, it is the team's training
grounds and it showed as the
Minutemen were clearly the domi-
nant team. Scoring just 21 points.
UMass cruised to victory over
Vermont (48) and Maine (67).
Massachusetts was led by the pow-
erful junior duo of Matt Behl and
Mike Macieko. Behl was the top fin-
isher, posting a 25:25 mark, while
Macieko took the No. 2 spot. 10 sec-
onds later.
"Matt and Mike ran extremely
well." said UMass coach Ken
O'Brien. "The two of them gave a
very solid effort, and I was pleased.
The last time those two ran this
course in a meet situation was their
freshman year, and they improved on
ihose old limes by about thirty sec-
onds."
The Minutemen dominated the lop
10. taking fifth through ninth place.
Senior Pat Murphy ran to his i>esi
finish on the year, taking fifth overall
while posting a linn: of 25:57. Fellow
senior Ethan Nedeau continued lo
r\in impressively, finishing in 25:59,
good for sixth place.
Sophomore Ryan Carrara rounded
out the UMass top five, placing sev-
enth overall with a time of 26: 1 8.
"Ryan is doing great. He came into
the season fairly unknown, because
he's just a sophomore." O'Brien said.
"He had a good freshman season, so I
knew he could step up and run this
well. He worked hard over the sum-
mer and his work is starting to pay
off."
Mark Huffone. eighth with a time
of 26:22. and Tim Bollard, ninth with
a time of 26:50, also placed in the
top 10 overall for the Minutemen.
"The race went very well for us."
O'Brien said. "The guys went out
hard and ran fast and aggressive, it's
a tough course, and they ran it the
way it has to be run.
We had a large crowd on hand to
cheer for our guys, and I think that
really helped our guys. The runners
got the chance lo pass by the crowd
about 10 times, and that can really
lxx)st I heir confidence."
The UMass coach was very pleased
with Murphy's perfonnance.
"Pat ran what was easily the best
race of his season, and maybe the
best race of his career. To say I was
happy with how he ran would be an
understatement." O'Brien said.
The Minulemen have next week-
end to relax, as they prepare to travel
lo Lehigh University for the Paul
Short Invitational.
Men's tennis keeps rolling, whips Wheaton
By Jameson Heos
Collegian Staff
Massachusetts men's tennis coach ludy Dixon
was apprehensive heading into Saturday's match
with Wheaton College.
"When we first started warming up, I didn't like
the preparation," Dixon said. "Thi"y [UMass] sort
of strolled in a little loose. Some of [the players)
came a little late. In the warmups they looked flat,
and I challenged them btx'ause I don't feel that we
are a mature enough team to take anyone lightly."
The Minutemen answered her challenge loudly
and quickly by dispatching Wheaton 7-0. By win-
ning the doubles point for the fourth straight
match, they raised their record to 4-1. as they
head into Wednesday's match with rival
Connecticut.
lunior Gregor Rummel and freshman Mike
Skeels led the doubles teams by blanking Binh
Nguyen and Angel Riva 8-0 at No. 2 double!>. They
were followed by Todd Cheney and Ryan Ginley's
8-t victory at No. 5 doubles versus Patrick
Summers and Trillian Lovine.
Senior co-captain lustin Lynn and sophomore
Alex Aller wrapped up the No. 1 doubles point by
defeating Brian Ylisto and lason Bcckcrman 8-5
leading into the singles matches.
In a change ai the lop. Dixon inserted Rummel
at No. 1 singles while placing Lynn at No 2. She
felt a need to challenge Rummel a little more as he
had breezed through his previous three matches,
while giving Lynn a breather to recover from his
grueling three set loss two days earlier against
Fairfield.
Both players ouimanned iheir opponents as
Rummel beat Ylisto 6-2. b-1, and Lynn was victo-
rious over Bcckerman 6- 1 . 6-2.
At No. 5 singles, Ankur Baishya improved his
record to 4- 1 by defeating Nguyen 6- 1 . 6- 1 . while
Aller continued his outstanding play at No. 4 sin-
gles with a 6- 1 . 6-0 win over Riva lo remain unde-
feated at 5-0. Dixon feels that Aller has improved
greatly over last year.
"He is better. He is physically in better shape
than he was last year," Dixon said, "lust the differ-
ence that he is physically more prepared means
that he is quicker to the ball. He doesn't have to
end the points as quickly as he did last year and he
feels he has the ability to stay in the point longer,
rather than relying on his big forehand He is a bet
ler plaver at No 4 this vear than he was last year at
No. 6."
At No. 5 singles, Cheney won his fourth match
in a row by downing Vlad Pourer 6-1.6-1. Senior
co-captain Darren Tow rebounded from
Thursday's loss at No. 6 singles by winning his
match 6- 1 . (>- 1 lo level his record at 2-2
Coming up for the Minutemen are three oppo-
nents they have not fared well against: UConn.
UNH and Vermont. Dixon is looking at the next
two wtrks as a test lo see where her learn stands
versus the tougher teams on the schedule.
"We have never beaten UConn We won one and
lost one lasi year against UNH and we have never
t>eaten Vermont before." she said. "So the next
three matches will tell me what we have in store
for this year, but we got everything going for us
right now. This is right where I wanted to be head-
ing into ihis week."
The Minutemen lake on Connecticut on
Wednesday at home at 5:50 p.m.

continued from poge 10
Karsten Bremke's attacking midfield
spot after Bremke injured his groin,
lones was able to rise above this chal-
lenge and spur the team on lo victo-
"Sieve's done a real good job as
long as he's been in there," Koch
commented. "Whether he's been
playing as a marking back, outside
midfielder or sweeping today, he's
been a nice surprise. As a transfer
{from New Mexico) that we knew
just a little about, he's fit right in
from the beginning. It's been a great
help."
BU opened the match with a
patient, methodical attack focusing
on Alun Carter as Nick Bone (18
goals. 7 assists. 45 points in 1994)
and Ola Olsen (9-1 1-29) were
smothered by the exceptional mark-
ing of lones and Sheally.
"Sheally did an outstanding job on
Bone and Brad Miller stopped Ola
from doing much of anything today."
Koch said. "Both of those guys get a
tremendous amount of credit for the
win because they made a big differ-
ence."
After midfielder Mike Butler
scored a pair of beautiful goals early
in the second half, the pressure fell
on the Minuteman backs as the
Terriers attacked with renewed vigor
for the match's final 54 minutes.
"(BU has) some of the top scorers
in the nation in Olsen and Bone, and
we shut them down." Siljanovski
said. "Steve lones came right in. filled
some big shoes, and he did a great
job. Everyone stepped up their play
and it made up for (lacobson's loss).
It was a great effort. This game was
won by the defense. The offense
scored two goals, but that's our job
and our defense was the biggest peo-
ple here. Those five guys in the back
are why we won this game."
The turf at Richard F. Garber Field
was torn up by heavy rains and a pair
of women's soccer matches on
Friday, and a bizarre bounce enabled
an Olsen pass to elude Sheally. Tom
Giatrakos knocked it in for the
Terriers with just under 14 minutes
to play. From that moment on. ihe
UMass defense held their ground
despite some incredible opportunities
by the Terriers, who had 19 shots
and eight comerkicks in the match.
After Gruber missed a Christian
Stccn shot at the 77 minute mark,
lones was there on the goal line lo
make a spectacular and improbable
game-saving back save.
Stcen had another chance just a
minute later as his shot from the 18
snuck through traffic before clanking
off the post lo the left of Gruber.
The UMass defense even snuffed
out a BU freekick from inside the box
with just over seven minutes to play.
The game's defining moment came
wilh just 2:51 to play, as Bone broke
in alone towards the net. Bremke
hauled him down from behind, giving
BUa penalty shot.
Gisle Serli would take the pivotal
shot for the Terriers, as Gruber
awaited just 12 yards away. Penalty
kicks are more than 80 percent suc-
cessful in soccer, so Gruber felt
relief, with the weight of the match
hanging solely over Surli's head.
"It wasn't so nerve-racking for me
because all the pressure's on him,"
Gruber said. "He's got to score it."
Sorli shot lo his left, about waist
high. Grufjcr dove, dcflecied the ball
off ihe inside of the post, and luckily,
the ball bounded outward. Sheally
was able lo clear the rebound and
UMass had secured the victory of a
lifetime.
"1 was just hoping that we were
ready for the rebound," Koch said of
his thoughts at the lime. "Whether
it's the post that saves it or whether
Gruber was going to save il we had
lo be ready for the rebound. I'm
pleased to see that the post made the
save. I'm glad one of them made it."
"I think we had another guy on the
field out there helping us out,"
Siljanovski said of the shot. "And
that was Cod."
UM downs Bonnies;
upset by Duquesne
By Steven Grant
Collegion Staff
The Massachusetts volleyball
team started its weekend impres-
sively, but ended wilh a poor
showing as the Minutewomen's
record barely stands over 500 at
7-6.
On one hand. the
Minutewomen couldn't have
opened their Atlantic 10 schedule
any better on Fri. when they dis-
mantled the Si. Honaventurc
Bonnies in three straight games.
But their perfect record in the
A- 10 could only remain intact for
24 more hours, as they were sur-
prised by the Duquesne Dukes in
a five-game loss
UMass 3. St. Bonavcnlurc 0
(IS-n, IVIO. IS-I)
This was no upset, to say the
least. Last season, Ihe
Minutewomen played St.
Bonaventure twice and swept ixMh
times.
In fact, the 15 points the
Bonnies scored in the first game
was more than they scored in any
single game last year against
UMass. They managed 1 1 in iheir
Oct. 1 meeting last year.
Sophomore Lesley Nolan was
the standout lor UMass in this
one, as the outside hitler recorded
a team-high 12 kills in the three
games. Nolan, continuing to step
it up offensively with junior Giza
Rivera out of the lineup, also com-
mitted only one error in 28 total
attacks.
Sophomore Michelle Paciorek
enjoyed another fine outing as
well. The middle blocker earned
six kills and two blocks for the
Minutewomen. Senior setter Cass
Anderson remained consistent as
she led the team in both assists
(19) and digs (9)
St. Bonaventure fell to 7-6
overall. 0-3 in Ihe Atlantic 10,
wilh the k>ss.
Duquesne 3, UMacs 2 (14-16.
15-11, 15-11,5-1$. lO-D)
This defeat was an unexpected
one for UMass. Duquesne came
into the match Saturday night 0-5
in Ihe A- 10. and wilh only a 4-6
overall record.
Last season, although il wasn't
exactly a walk in ihe park, the
Minutewomen beat Ihe Dukes in
both matches 5-2 and 3-1.
But of course, past statistics
don't win games, or even give you
a few extra points lo start out
with And so. although things
looked promising for the
Minutewomen, when Ihey had just
beaten the Dukes in game four,
15 5. Ihey fell in the deciding
game. 15 10.
On a positive note, Nolan
continued her hot streak. For
the third straight match, she led
the Minutewomen in kills with
29 That also marks a
career-best for the sophomore.
Nolan also led her teammates
with 25 digs.
Senior middle blocker Rachel
Sky. back from a knee injury, had
a team- high three btociu.
UMass will return to action on

which he fired to the left side, where
Gruber dove deflecting the ball off
the post, aiKl Bennie Sheally was able
to clear it away.
'We had to make sure we were
there to clear the rebound,' Koch
said. "Whether it's the post that saves
it or whether Gruber was going to
save it. we had to be ready to clear
the rebound*
UMass and BU battled to a score-
less first half wilh the Terriers
out-shooting the Minutemen K-4.
BU controlled the ball for most of
the first half and had their share of
opportunities to score. Bone missed a
shot wide right from in from of the
net, and Alun Carter's header wilh
one second left in the first half was
denied by Gruber.
The Terriers oulshol the
Minutemen 19-15. and had eight
comer kicks to UMass' one. Gruber
was stellar, goal recording nine saves.
The UMass defenie wts Ihe key in
what helped Ihis team lo victory.
They only gave up one (oal. opposed
to lour eariicr in the week.
"We put a lot of defensive pressure
on them at the end. I'm really happy
with the eifort I go( from this leam."
Koch said. "(Bennie) Sheally did an
outstanding job on Bone, and Brad
Miller slopped Olson from doing
much of anything.*
Koch was also satisfied with the
total leam effort that UMass brought
forth on Saturday, which he fell his
leam lacked against New FUmpshire
in a 4-2 loss.
"We moved Ihe ball well, we
worked wilh each other.
I>efensively. we were very organized
and communicated weil,* Koch said.
'This is huge right now for this leam.
This is a win we really needed, but
there arc more big ones coming up.*

I have a very big 65 gallon

I only have one chubby
little goldfish who slowly waddles
around alone.
Because of the glass
angles, sometimes, I can't even
see Beebles.
Beebles rubs his side
against a stone a lot.
I asked the clerk at the
pet store:
Why does my fish keep
rubbing against the stone?
If I buy another fish and
my fish falls in love, will Beebles
be happier than when Beebles
was alone?
The clerk threw me out of
the store.

Massachusetts knocks off Boston University
DAYMION SMrm \ COllECUN
Sophomore Mike Butler posted both goals in the Minutemen's 2-1 upset victory over Boston University.
Minutemen survive, beat Huskies
By Mike Brown
Colleqtan Staff
BOSTON — li was supposed lo be a football game, but
it looked like rugby. A strange series of events occurred at
the conclusion of Saturday's game at Norlheastern's
Parsons Tield. leaving the 5.500 fans baffled
The Massachasctts football team was able
to overcome a huge Northeastern threat,
and cling on lo a lwo-pt)int lead, winning
the game 2 ! - 1 9 in the closing scxxjnds.
On second down and 10. down by
eight points with under a minute to play. Northeastern
quarterback |im Murphy launched a Hail Mary pass from
his own 57-yard line. A pool of dark and white jerst7S

fust shake your
head and laugh
BOSTON — I spent much of Saturday afterntwjn
shaking my head as I sat in the Parsons Field press
box for the Massachusetts-Northeastern game. Yet as
I looked down at the others along press row. the rest
of the media persons were doing much of the same.
You couldn't help but shake your head and laugh to
yourself as you saw Rene Inguglia run for 202 yards.
Ingoglia didn't have any game-breaking runs, he car-
ried the ball a career-high 57 times. But it was the
way he did it that left everybody impressed with his
performance.
You couldn't help but shake your head and laugh to
yourself as you saw the
Minutemen and the
Huskies battle down lo
the wire for the third
straight season. It wasn't
particularly high-scor-
ing, and it wasn't tight throughout the full 60 minutes.
But it was the way Northeastern managed to inch their
way back after a 14-poinl deficit.
You couldn't help but shake your head and laugh to
yourself after what happened on the final drive of the
game. It wasn't pretty, it wasn't strategically designed
by head coach Barry Gallup and the rest of his staff. It
couldn't have been.
Bui it was the way it happened.
The Minutemen began the third quarter with a 21-6
lead, and started the fourth quarter trying lo slop the
Huskies IK yards away from endzone. UMass jumps
off-sides, the flag was thrown, and 15 yards was
assessed. Brian Vaughn scores from two yards out, the

were camped under the pass. From out of nowhere, a
leaping Husky David Smith emerged from the traffic to
catch the ball for a 44-yard gain with one second remain-
ing on the clock.
"I can't believe ihey caught the ball." said UMass coach
Mike Hodges. "You could practice that play week in and
week out. and never perfect that play."
With Northeastern now at the UMass
19-yard line, first down brought Murphy
back lo pass once again. Minutemen
co-captain Vernard Fcnnell crashed
through the Husky offensive line and
applied a ferocious blow to Murphy. The UMass sideline,
led by Hodges, began its victory dance since they believed
the sack ended the game. The Minutemen dance parly
came to a screeching hall, as the sack forced a fumble and
Northeaslern fullback |eff Realc picked up the loose ball
and scampered into thecndzone untouched.
"When I made ihe tackle I thought it was over. We
don't have many fans here so when I heard the fans cheer-
ing. I knew somelhing bad happened," Fenncll said. "It
was definitely a feeling of relief when the game was over."
"Then they get a play off with one second, tht7 fumble and
pick it up and bring il into the end zone," Hodges said. "You
couldn't write that .script in a million years, but il happened."
After Ihe chaos ended, the Huskies needed a two-point
conversion lo tie the ball game and send it into overtime.
Murphy stepped back lo pass for the conversion, and
spotted receiver Smith. The Northeastern quarterback
threw a bullet in Smith's direction, but UMass free safety
lason Tudryn got enough hand on the pass to make it
incomplete. Then UMass celebrated - for real.
"That's as wild a finish I've ever been involved in. More
things happened in that last drive certainly since I've been
the football coach. I thought he was sacked and down, but
then the ball came out," Hodges said. "It's pretty difficult
to snap the ball and get a play off with one second left."
"It's the wackiest game I've ever been involved in —
with one second left, the wacky fumble happened," said
CO- captain Rene Ingoglia. "As soon as he scored, I said
"lets strap il up, we're going to overtime." The defense
came out and stopped them, which was excellcni."
The Minutemen did not need overtime to decide this game.
The UMass defense battled its fatigue and settled down lo
make the biggest defensive slop thus far on Ihe season.
"I'm very proud of my kids. It's very easy to panic in
that kind of situation," Hodges said. "But I settled down
my defense and they made the play."
The unusual ending to the game was the big story of
the day. but up to thai point, il was Rene Ingoglia's show.
Ingoglia's campaign for the Walter Payton Award, given
annually lo Ihe best player in I-AA football, improves dras-
tically each week he steps onto the gridiron. The fullback
tallied 202 yards on the day. including all three touchdown
runs.
"If I could carry the ball 50 limes a game I would. I just
really drive hard." Ingoglia said. "It's like the analogy of a

Win is program's biggest ever
By Leigh TortMr«
Collegian Staff
There are big wins, there are really big wins and then
there are epic wins, like the one the Massachusetts men's
soccer team recorded on Saluitlay.
Last year. UMass saw a field hockey upset of North
Carolina, a 24-poini basketball thumping of Arkansas,
and a stunning hockey victory over Maine. With
Saturday's 2-1 decision over highly touted Boston
University, the men's soccer team officially fia-d the open-
ing shot of upset season, and in the process, produced the
biggest and most thrilling victory in the program's history.
After being battered by a lesser New Hampshire side on
Wednesday, UMass had to bounce back with a victory,
which seldom comes against the Terriers, who finished
the 1994 regular season ranked No. I in the nation at
19-0-1.
Top to bottom, each member of the determined
Massachusetts side excelled significantly beyond anyone's
expectations, and were rewarded for their efforts with the
victory of a lifetime.
"All wins arc big, but this one is the biggest in our his-
tory.' Koch said. "This is huge right now for this team.
This is a win we really netxied."
"It was the biggest win so far." senior Eric Gniber
added. "Thai's the biggest win I've ever been involved
with."
"We came in underdogs, but we took it lo thi-m and we
won." said junior forward Dave Siljanovski. who
remained seated on the field with tears of joy and disbelief
in his eyes following the match. "We played with heart,
which we lacked in the last game. Our heart was there
today and we won it because of our heart. We wanted to
prove that we could be in the lop 20. and this is a big step
I towards lhat|. This is the biggest win ever in UMass his-
tory, and we're only going to start from here."

For the first seven games of the

beating defenses,
bui be il a bad
bounce or a key save by a goalie,
she hadn't been able to notch her

But Saturday afternoon, with the

ance, Putnam came through. With

Putnam fired a shot past Temple
goalie Deb Brown lo give the
Minulewomen a 1-0 victory over
the rival Owls.
"It felt pretty good," Putnam
said. "I told myself before the game
today that I was
going to score for
the life of me."
"I'm very happy
for her," said
Massachusetts coach Megan
Donnelly. "She's had her struggles
as most freshmen do. but the abili-
ty has always been there. It's nice
to see her have a good, solid

The win was a vitally important
one for Massachusetts. Coming off
one of its worst starts ever, beating
No. 14 Temple was crucial if the
Minulewomen hoped to turn their
season around.
"Il was a very important win,"
Sophomore Amy Ott said. "We

Minutewomen find scoring touch

Through 120 minutes of play over the weekend, the
Massachusetts women's soccer team played its offensive
game, but only had three goals to show for it. Late in the
first half of Sunday's game with Wright State, that all
changed.
"Right before we got No. 2 & 5. you could feel the
atmosphere change,"
UMass coach |im Rudy
said. "All of a sudden,
instead of them attacking.
ihey were back on their
heels."
The 1-1 tie at the 35 minute mark, turned into a 7-1
rout lo complete a weekend sweep for the Minutewomen
(5-1 ) who also beat No. 20

The weather outside may
have been frightful for
A&M, but even more so was Massachusetts forward
Rachel LeDuc.
The cool and rainy conditions of Garber Field, were a
far cry from what the Aggies are accustomed lo, but seem
to be just right for LeDuc. She converted the rebound of a
Liz Rutherford shot to give the Minutewomen a 1-0 lead
in the 51st minute.
"Before the game Coach told us, and while playing it
was evident thai their goalie hobbled the ball a lot, and
Ihe whole game she did thai." LeDuc explained. "So I was
trying to follow up on everything. When Liz gave a great
cross and she hobbled it, I just followed il up."
Less than five minutes later it was Bryn Blalack who
blasted a lefi-footcd rocket just between UMass goalie
Danielle Dion and Ihe far post, to tie the game at one.
The game was still tied al Ihe half, thanks lo Dion who
knocked away Blalack's indirect kick from 25 yards a
minute after her goal.
As the second half began. A&M began to assert its
speed advantage it had up front against the UMass
defense, although it couldn't get the ball in the net. Its
best chance of the half came when Kristen Koop split the
UMass defense, but her shot just slid wide of the left post.
The Minutewomen were aware of Ihe advantage the
Aggies had with their speed up front and used support in
an effort to contain them.
"We try lo balance off in the back." defender Nikki
Ahemholz said. "Wc knew ihey were fast so we had to
drop back a bit cause that was when they were going to
score."
When asked about how his defensive strategy did in
slowing down the lightning quick front-runners of A&M,
Rudy took little credit.
"We didn't (contain Iheml." Rudy said. "We survived."

Students still wait
to get excess checks
By Troqr Geekie
Collegian Staff
The delayed disbursement of
Financial Aid excess checks ai the
University of Massachusetts has
left some students compromising.
Rather than do without any
money, several students are
accepting advances against their
refund. According lo Burt Batty,
the Dinxtor of Financial Aid. the
amount given is $20U or the
amount of the excess, whichever
is less.
"The majority of students are
understanding." he said, "lust as
long as they get their excess by the
first of October when their rent is
due. they're quite satisfied. "
However, students won't have
to wail that much longer for the
money owed them.
The confirmed date on which
the checks will be available is
September 28. First-year students
will not be able to collect their
checks until October 10 due to
certain government guidelines.
According to the financial aid
notice eniiiled. "Information
Regarding Financial Aid Excess
Checks," the reason is a federal
regulation which docs "not permit
first-lime freshmen lo receive
their financial aid excess until 50
days after their initial enrollment."
All students must meet certain
conditions before their excess
checks are disbursed. These con-
ditions, which are itemized on the
notice, include signing promissory
notes and finalizing all estimated
aid. including the Massachusetts
Slate Scholarship and Pell Urant.
Bally advises students to dou-
ble-check their financial aid files
lo ensure all the paperwork is
there. By doing this, students will
avoid problems when they pick up
their excess checks.
"It's frustrating for the student
and the Bursar's staff that the stu-
dent will stand in line for half an
hour, gel up to the teller expecting
an excess check, and the teller
says, 'you've got a hold on your
excess because your financial aid
file is incomplete'." he said. "Then
(the student) comes down here
and stands for half an hour. If
they're uncertain, they should call
us or visit the office during the
day."
"Up againsi the wall"
Several reasons are to blame for
the delay in disbursing the checks.
"The direct loan program is
new, so wc haven't had a whole
loi of experience with it." Batty
said. "We haven't had lime. We're
right up against the wall when stu-
dents need ihc money and we
need to get it over (to the Bursar's
Office. I We're doing the best we
can."
Another reason Batty cited was
an overall increase in the volume
of financial aid being processed.
"I think we have delivered more
aid to more siudents this year
than any year in the past history of
UMass." he said. "I anticipate
according to the Bursar's figures,
about 3.000 financial aid excess
checks will be available on the 28
of September. Thai's a record
number at this time compared lo
lasl year."
Lastly. Batty said the financial
aid office warned lo ensure ihey
handled the processing as accu-
rately as possible.
"We just had lo make sure [the
money) went over lo the siudents'
accounts and thai it was done cor-
rectly." he said. "Had we hurried
through it. there would have been
a lot of errors. '
The student perspective
Some students fell frustrated by
the steps involved in processing
their aid.
"It's the run-around.* said
sophomore nuirilion major Amy
Tardiff. "They send you a thing
that says you have to be in al a
cerlain lime and when you gel
ihere, ihere's a line.

SGA hopes for more involvement
By Alison Connolly
G>llsgian Staff
If you are interested in getting involved in the
Student Government Association but you missed
participating in the elections last week. "It's not
over yet." Speaker Dan Castellano said.
The SGA wants interested students to gel
involved in their communities. There are still sen-
ale positions open, especially in the commuter area
government which has 10 vacancies.
However, the student voice is also ncx*ded lo rep-
resent committees and councils across campus.
The faculty senate has a number of commitiees
and councils with student seals ycl lo hv appointed
by the SGA. Castellano said that students aren't
participating because ihcy are noi aware of the
opportunities.
"We haven't had a lot of representation on facul-
ty committix's and councils because there was a
lack of publicity." Caslellano .said. "Decisions are
being made without student input and these dc-ci-
sions impact the entire University. It's important to
have students on ihese councils and commitiees so
that the student voice may be heard."
Castellano said that these commitiees are the
best way for siudents and faculty to work together.
His first experience with student government was
through one of these councils.
Afro-American Sludies Professor |ohn Bracey
is the Secretary of the Faculty Senate. He
encourages sludenls to take pan in developing
policies that concern their quality of life al the
University.
"It's extremely important," Bracey said
"Sludenls ought to have input in policies thai they
arc affected by."
Bracey said that students should lake an
active pari in the process of reviewing and mak-
ing policies, rather than after they have been
made.
"If students are there al that point," Bracey said,
"ihey can help us develop policies that are siu
dcni-friendly."
Bracey said ihai the committees make decisions
on everything from parking to readmission and
financial aid. Currently, there are six or seven com-
mittees that have vacancies.
The SGA will be forming task forces this year.
These groups will focus on specific issues that go
into depth which the senate may not be equipped
lo deal with.
"It's a good way for students who never gel
involved in student government lo do so,"
Castellano said.
There are also house council seals that were not
filled during the elections. Residents who want lo
make changes within their dorms should apply.
Sludenls may also apply for senate seals
already occupied. The applications will be kepi
on file in case ihe posiiion suddenly becomes
available.
The SGA office has a listing of committee and
council seals that arc still open. If inleresletl. the
SGA office is located in Riiom 420 of the Siudcnl

Reception honors women s struggles

Last Thursday evening in celebra-
tion of the 75lh anniversary of a
woman's right to vole, the lones
Library in Amherst hosted a public
reception consisting of an exhibit
tilled "A Voice for Citizens, a Force
for Change" and a hislorical recnact-
ment of Susan B. Anthony's life.
The event was co-sponsored by
the Amherst chapter of The League
of Women Voters and the Amherst
History Museum.
"Il is appropriate that we are (at
the library* tonight. Our first meet-
ing was held here in 1959." said loan
Flood Ashweli. the president of the
Amherst League of Women Voters.
The exhibit gave life to the strug-
gles of women in the lasl 75 years. Il
chronologicly explained, through
words and pictures, what women
have gone through lo gain the rights
they have today.
"It's shocking lo think thai women
in Amherst were noi in favor of the
vote, in organizing for it. Once they
had thv right, they registered in large
numbers," said Ashweli.
Dressed in an outfit that reflected
the style of the late 1800s, character
actress jes.sa Piaia brought the audi-
ence through a dramatic reenact-
ment of Susan B. Anthony's life.
According lo Piaia's flyer. Susan
B. Anthony was a "spokesperson for
temperance, abolition and women's
suffrage ... Although she did noi live
to see the day. her tireless 50 year
struggle for women's rights legalized
the vole for American women in
1920."
Piaia ended her performance by
saying 'failure is impossible." This
quoie was used in Anthony's speech-
es to excite young women about
politics and inspire young aclivisls.
"It's true that Susan B. would be
1 75 years old (this year). So many of
the issues that she worked on are
still relevant today and her life
stands as an inspiration for us to live
by." Piaia said.
Congressman [ohn Olver. Stale
Represenlalive Ellen Story and
Senator Slan Rosenberg aitended the
reception.
""The vole is a very powerful tool."
Rosenberg said. He stressed the
importance of people doing what
ihcy can to change the injustices of
the world.
The National League of Women
Voters, which was organized when
women gained the right lo vote, is
also celebrating its 75th anniversary.
Two cakes decorated with red. white

Officials baffled as to killer's motives
CUERS, France (AP) — The I 3th victim of a teen
ager's murderous weekend rampage died in a hospital
Monday, while authorities in southern France Iried lo
determine what caused him lo go on a killing spree.
Eric Borel lumed a gun on his family and then on an
apparently random series of victims in a town square
before killing himself Sunday. Witnesses said the 16-year-
old was so cool-headed they thought he was hunting
pigeons.
Rodolphe Incorvailla. 59, died Monday of a bullet
wound to the head. He had been taken to Marseilles hos-
pital in a coma Sunday. Six victims remained hospitalized,
two in critical condition, "i knew them all and four of
them died right before my eyes." lean Boursereau. who
was shol in ihe neck bul survived, said from his hospital
bed.
Borel claimed victims in two villages in the back hills of
the sunny Cole d'Azur.
The three family members were killed at home in
Cuers. 10 miles north of Toulon, sometime Saturday.
Police said their bodies were found about I a.m. Sunday.
Borel then traveled 3 1/2 miles lo ihe lown of Sollics-
Pont where he went on a half-hour rampage beginning
about 7:30 a.m. Sunday before killing himself.
Victims ranged from age 17 to 75. and their bodies
were scattered in streets throughout the lown.
It was not known where Borel was dun'ng the interval
between when the first bodies were found and when he
began killing people in Sollies-Pont.
Ll. Col. Marcel Kapfer said Borel's mother went lo
church Saturday afternoon, and may have been killed sepa-
rately, after her companion and their 1 1 -year-old child,
Borel's half-brother. Initial police reports mistakenly
referred to the companion as the Borel's father or stepfather.
Kapfer said Borel carried two firearms during the
Sunday morning rampage, a rifie and a pistol, as well as a
box of cartridges. An autopsy was to be performed lo sec
if Borel, who eventually turned his gun on himself, was
under Ihe influence of drugs or alcohol. Bul those who
saw him doubled that.
He was "very calm, very poised. You hi i the impres.sion
he was hunting birds," the newspaper Le Monde quoted a
cafe owner. Guy Sintes. as saying. "He put the gun to his
shoulder, held it very slraighl, adjusted his aim and fired."
"It was incredible," Boursereau was quoted as saying by
Le Parisien newspaper. "He shouldered his rifie as calmly
as anything. It was surrealistic.
"I think passers-by didn't think to protect themselves, il
seemed so crazy. Myself, at the beginning, I thought he
was shooting pigeons."
Water Watch arrives in Amherst
Americorps volunteers hoping to clean up area's waterways
By Dow LoFontano

Volunteers from Americorps have
started a Water Watch program here
at University of Massachusetts with
the goal of cleaning up polluted
waterways in the
area. ^~~~^~~
The Water Watch
Program started in

and was deemed a
success, leading to its
expansion this year
into five other states.
Water Watch coor-

with MASSPIRG for

goals of Ihe program
will be, with the help
of local volunteers, to
clean up garbage from rivers and
creeks, organize "stream walks," and
monitor land use, according to coor-
dinator Icssyca Harris.
Harris said the stream walks will
be very important to map the water
ways, remove debris and help deter-
mine where the pollution is originat-
ing.
"There are two ways that surface
water becomc"s polluted." she said.
"'Point Pollution' is when faclorics
dump sewage and waste directly into
a river. "Non-point Pollulion' is
caused by agricullural pesticides.
"When the pesticide rinses off the
plants, il makes its

According lo
Harris, the volun-
Icx-rs will not only
clean, but also
help lo repair the
banks of Ihe
Brook.
"The brook has
so many people going through it,
hiking and biking." she said.
"Mountain bikes lend to rip the
trails up. We want lo keep the
ground from eroding too much
along the water banks, exposing tree
roots."

Powwow entertains; informs diverse crowd
continued from, POWWOW page 1
Members of 50-50 different Native American cultures,
from Central, North and South America, as well as
Canada, gathered for approximately seven hours of
dances, storytelling and performances.
Vice-Chancellor for Student Activities Tom Robinson
said. "I attended the Powwow this past weekend, and I
appreciate the hard work by students and staff to make
this wonderful event a reality. I always enjoy participating
in the annual Powwow because it illustrates so well the
diversity within our campus community."
Each of the two days the powwow began with an open-
ing prayer followed by the Grand Entry, lead by Head
Man dancer Marvin Bumette of the Oglala-Lakota Nation
and Head Woman dancer, Sandy Funmaker, of the
Hochunk Nation. Dancers, dressed in regalia from head to
toe. pounded the gymnasium floor of Curry Hicks Cage
with soul and rhythm, following the strong beats and song
of I he drummers.
family tradition was clearly the tone for the event.
Men. women and young children participated in various
intertribal dances. One mother held a sleeping baby in her
arms as she danced with the others, and children as young
as three or four were rolling along with the elders.
Dances included: the women's dance, the children's
dance, the elder's dance, as well as dances from the indi-
vidual tribes represented at the powwow.
"Native American dancing, tribal dancing, is generally
taught to us by the elders, many times young kids, if
you've actually seen any of them out there, they find the
rhythm, ihey find the beat, and dancing is taught to the
native children at an early age, quite ofien many of them
dance before they can walk, that's how early of an age
that dancing is started," said Marvin Bumeltc, the Head
Man Dancer for the event.
A dancer performed an impressive Hoop dance, in
which he passed through several hoops many times, "just
as we pass through the sacred hoop of our mothers," said
Ramona Peters, the master of ceremonies for the pow-
wow.
Storyteller Trudie Lamb-Richmond of the Shaticoke
Nation attracted children, as well as adults, with Native
American tales of mischievous animals and explanations
as to why certain things are the way thev are in nature.
The Wampanoag Nation Singers and Dancers from
Masphee, Ma., perfoniK-d FASlem Wcnxiland social dances,
dances that are unique to the Northeast region. Singer
Stanley Buck, an Ekier of the Seneca Nation rcfenvd to as
"the ntaster social dance singer" by c-urrent upcoming singers
of this .style, added his unique (ouch to the event with his per-
fonnance and singer/performer Tom Abomsawin of the
Abenaki Nation, also performed for the audience.
Assistant Vice Chancellor for Campus Activities
Ricardo Townes said, "I think that it was the most suc-
cessful powwow in recent years: I really enjoyed the chil-
dren. 1 think it was successful because a lot of depart-
ments and agencies tcKik the chancellor's message of blur-
ring the lines and working together; it was successful
because a lot of departments, such as the Athletic depart-
ment, the Minority Support Program. Physical Plant, and
the Chancellor's office made it special."
Francis Huntington of the Stockbridge-Munsee/Oneida
Nation concluded, "if you've been to any amount of pow-
wows, after a while, you begin to feel an energy build,
usually about midway through the first day, you can
almost feel it, you can almost put your haiuis cm it. and
grasp it, and it's a healing energy, it'll take away a lot of
your anger and frustration-, sadness aiul sorrow — it does
a lot of those things "
Powwow performers voice opinions
By Lisa Chiu
CollegKin SloH
The 1995 Annual Intertribal
Powwow came and went this past
weekend. With it, many participants
have taken many memories of cultur-
al and traditional celebration. A few
of these participants shared their
views on the issues concerning
Native Americans.
On the topic of what a powwow
meant to him, Marvin Burnettc, the
Head Man Dancer for the powwow
said "One thing I would like to
explain that a lot of people have a
misconception about, is that a pow-
wow is not a sacred ceremonial
event. There are many customs, many
traditions, of native people that are
sacred, that have a place in religious
heritage, but a powwow is a social
event, and many things that happen
that I see at some powwows, are- on a
ceremonial basis, and should not be
there."
Ntaster of Ceremonies for the pow-
wow. Ramona Peters, of the Mashpee
Wampanoag Nation, said. "These
powwows are really a way that
Native American people can have
some sort of economic resource, basi-
cally that's what it's about, a place
where vendors or craftsmen can
bring their ware ... it's sort of a solu-
tion to some of our financial prob-
lems. As native people, our economic
bases have been wiped out from
underneath us. and there's very few
outlets in which the American people
have really extended to us in order to
make money. So selling small items
and dancing doesn't make us very
wealthy, but it's a way in which we
can stiil travel, visit one another, and
bask in an intertribal environment."
When asked how he felt about
non-Native American individuals
participating, and dressing up as
Native Americans in events like pow-
wows. Arena Director Francis
Huntington. of the
Stockbridge-Munsee/Oneida Nation
said. "There are people that come
because they are lost, they are just
looking for something, they don't
know what it is. They're humorously
called wannabes, a lot of people
come to Native American events
because in this day in age there's a lot
of searching for spirituality, this
whole world is watching and they
think we're going to be the saviors."
On this same subject, Roman Peters
said, "It's nice to be admired, and
envied, but, it's a failure on the
American system to not evolve a cul-
ture...it's the Women that hold the
culture, we hold the babies, we hold
the wisdom, when the American
Anglo woman came over, she had no
voice whatsoever, she never had a
place in evolving American culture. I
get olfended when they come in to
our grand entries, the grand entry is
when we escort our ancestors into
the circle, we don't want to bring
their ancestors into dance circle
immediately, only on invitation, we
didn't have any choice when the
Pilgrims landed. I admire other cul-
tures but I would never assume it
myself. I cannot take on something
that is not in my blood."
On the subject of the American
Indian Movement and Leonard
Peltier, a Native American that has
been in prison for over 18 years,
Marvin Bumette said, "That's a sad
story that has happened in American
history. The American Indian move-
ment in the late '60s and early ^Os
was a very strong group because it
was not only the people on the plains
but it was Native pcvple throughout
the country that faced the same type
of issues that the people faced on
Pine Ridge .. but Lcvnard is a scape-
goal .. what it boils dovm to is that
he was at the wrong place at the
wrong lime, and the government in
order to eliminate problem areas in
the American Indian Movement, one
of their thoughts was to get rid of
[.eonard.

A senior communications major,
who declined to give her name,
said the promissory note signing
went re'latively quickly and the staff
acted professionally.
She admitted she has not yet
inquired about her excess check,
though she needs the money.
"I've always had hassles with

waiting to get into the right mood
before I go in there."
Batty defended the new system.
saying that even though the
Financial Aid office underestimated
the amount of work needt-d to gel
it started, their work has paid off
now,
"I think niosi of the students are
quite happy with it." he said
He said he did not think the
complaints of long lines were an
issue. Instead, he argued that
students should realize that they
are signing an important docu-
ment.
For this reason, he .said the stu-
dent loan process must be handled
in a thorough manner.
"Lines are a way of life in any
college." he said. "I think you've
got to put it in perspc'clive in lenns
of How importani is this process'.''
It can't be like punching a time-
clock. It can't be that easy."
Roberto Gu/man. a senior Hotel
Management major, agreed that
waiting in line is not an inconve-
nience.
"The least we can do is go stand
in line for two hours." he said. "If
it weren't for (Financial Aid] I
wouldn't be here-."

In yesterday's feature on The Women of Color Program the quote:

Speaking about the
language problems
19 m nut a big fan of gcncralizatiuns. but I think
I'd be pretty safe in saying all human beings
want a companion. We absolutely love mak-
ing more of ourselves, or at least, going through
the act of making more of ourselves. In spite of
this, we go strutting around the evolutionary lad-
der, showing off our
opposable thumbs and
large brains; snickering
at those poor animals
that can't reason. The
fact of the matter is,
we're not that great.
If one takes away all the advances we think
we"re so clever for, the result is an animal
that is perpetually in search of companion-
ship. At least half of the things we do are
centered around impressing the prospective
mate. The difference? A bird prances around
making strange noises whilst flashing off its
feathers; we pierce our nipples and wear nice
clothes.
I am no exception to this rule. Like the rest of
the single world, Im actively looking for "that
special someone." About six months ago, I was
cast out into the land of Singlcdom. At first the
whole idea of being a single man again was
intriguing to me. I had been dating the same
person for almost two years, and I thought a
change in status would be a funky new adven-
ture.
I was. however, gravely mistaken. Somewhere
deep in those two years of couplehood. I had forgot-
ten it is next to impossible to meet "that special
someone."
How does one meet people? I see them, that's for
sure. I can walk around campus and sec literally hun-
dreds of women I would love to meet, but this fact
solves nothing. I don't know any of these (possibly)
wonderful people.
With the advent of my 21st birthday. I was introduced
to the long awaited bar scene. I was under the impression
that perhaps this would get me over the meeting people
hump. I was wrong.
I feel just a lad loo transpaa-nt walking up to a woman
and. ..and. and what? Offer her a drink'.' Ask her if she
thinks the Sox are going all the way? These are the things
cheesy men in sitcoms do. Funny enough, the cheesy man
usually ends up getting a slap or a prompt "not interest-
ed."
I guess this is why I don't approach strangers and try to
spark up a conversation: I'm too frightened of rejection.
By trying to gel a conversation going, you take the tremen-
dous risk of making a complete ass of yourself. Unless my
blood is about 80 proof that night, this is something I do
not enjoy.
Here's the real kicker about the whole situation: I'd
bet a substantial amount of money most single women
go through the same thing. In speaking with several
female friends. I've learned they feel almost exactly
the same as the male population. I worry that in
approaching a women. I'll seem like a testosterone
engorged brute looking for a one night hook up so he
can high five his buddies the next morning. She wor-
ries that she'll appear to be a tramp with low self
esteem.
I know for a fact I'm absolutely thrilled when a woman
approaches me and starts up a conversation. Am I to
assume woman feel the same way? Even if I did. it would
still be a Herculean effort for me to be so socially aggres-
sive.
The bottom line? It seems to me single men and
women are running around beating their heads against
the wall, hoping they don't have to make the initiative to
meet a companion. (Even though the odds are pretty
good that they won't make asses of themselves in the
process.)
So the next lime you chuckle at the mating ritual of a
European Swallow, step back and ask yourself if you'd be
so bold.

A war with no winners
Single and not
so bold
Many members of Congress, including
Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole and
House Speaker Newt Gingrich, think that
it's time to make English the official lan-
guage of The United States. In fact, more than 20
states have already put English-only laws into
action. These laws do little to help people who don't
speak English and pro-
vide nothing but scx'u-
rity to those who are
resentful and scared of
non- English speakers.
It's time our leaders
spend less time working on symbolic gestures and
more time working on the problem at hand.
At the heart of the matter is bilingual education in
public schools. Bilingual education began almost \0
years ago to help Mexican-Americans learn English.
The programs wea- successful then, but today the ris-
ing number of people from different native countries
is creating too big a job for the schools to handle.
Most of the money allocated lor bilingual pro-
grams is being used to leach non-English speaking
students classt's in their own native languages. While
this type of education may be successful in keeping
students on track in other subject areas, it doc*s very
little in the way of teaching English. Within the struc-
ture, students of bilingual programs may spend as lit-
tle as 30 minutes each day actually learning English.
Thea- are many other problems with bilingual educa-
tion. Many students who are put in such programs
don't evm fK-ed to be there. They may speak English
ver>' well, but have trouble reading. These students
don't need bilingual classc-s. they need remedial reading
classes. Others are pushed there because enrullmeni is
to high in re-gular classes. Bilingual education is being
used for purposes lor which it was never intended.
Another problem is the lack of qualified teach-
ers. There is a shortage of about 170.000 bilin-
gual teachers across the country, and jobs are
being filled by people who speak two languages,
but in some cases never even attended college.
Hiring teachers based on one credential will
never be conductive to a solid educational pro-
gram.
Bilingual learning is no longer successful in pub-
lic schools. In the past, immigrant children have
been placed in traditional classrooms where
English was the only language spoken. While some
may have struggled, many thrived, and more
imporiantly. they learned to speak English, which
is more than can be said of the current bilingual
programs.
In our society, learning English has many more
advantages than learning evervthing but English. It
is used virtually everywhere. Once learned, a strong
English background can make it easier to learn
other subjects. Therefore. I believe students who
cannot speak English ought to take a few years
worth of intensive English classes, and then be
placed in traditional American classrooms. If they
lose a few years in other subjects, it shouldn't really
hurl them in the long run.
The United States is currently experiencing a
boom in immigration. According to the Census
Bureau. 8.7 percent of total American citizens
were born outside of the United States. Few of
them speak any English at all. Making English
their official language does nothing but isolate
these people.
When it all comes down to it. English is already
the official language of the United Slates, and will
be for many years to come. The question is not
whether it should be made official, but whether
everyone should be able to speak it. The govern-
ment has to work on finding the best way of teach-
ing the language, or these immigrants may never be
assimilated at all.

The situation in the former
Yugoslavia, unfortunately
for that Southern-European
country, has been one of the hottest
topics in the press for four years.
There are different opinions on the
origin of the conflict and the path
that it is taking, but not all of ihcm
are given equal atten-
tion, which results in
a lack of objectivity
in viewing the prob-
lem.
First of all. it is nec-
essary to stale that the
black-and-white approach to the
world has never resulted in making a
correct picture. There are no "bad
guys" or "good guys." unless the
action is taking place in a fairy tale.
There is no war when only one side
does all the fighting, and there can-
not be.
One example is the Chinese
annexation of Tibet: There is no
open war, for the Tibetan philoso-
phy does not recognize violence.
And so. since the "good versus
bad" approach is no more effective,
there is no sense in identifying one
side as aggressors and the other as
victims.
The war in Yugoslavia is clearly a
civil war where nobody is simply
right or wrong — every side is
both. Not to mention there are not
two, but rather three sides
involved.
The situation Serbia and
Montenegro have found them-
selves in leaves much to be
desired. The many refugees from
Bosnia and Croatia
are a great burden
for the economy,
already weakened by
the economic sanc-
tions imposed on the
country. There is a new wave of
refugees from Kraina (with the
capitol in Knin); as of August
1995. lens of thousands of people
are left homeless and fulureless
by the Croatian invasion of the
area.
There is a very strong possibility
Kraina was not simply invaded, but
that there was an agreement between
the Croatian president 1-ranjo
Tudjman and the Serbian president
Slobodan Miloshevich.
Unfortunately, the people that were
forced to leave the area arc still the
ones that suffer.
The situation in Belgrade itself is
terrible. The econumy is ruined, the
inflation now is only about ICK) per-
cent a year which is very good rela-
tive to the 20 percent an hour in
December 1994. There is not enough
gasoline for the public transporta-
tion. The power goes off in the
Belgradean houses for at least 2
hours a day all winter, which means
there also is no heating.
Not only are there no new jobs
being created, but many old ones
are being lost. An average month-
ly income has dropped from
about $1,000 in 1990 to $70 in
1995.
The Serbs in Belgrade arc not
given the right information, but nei-
ther are the Croats in 2^greb or the
Bosnian Moslems in Sarajevo.
And neither is the rest of the
world.
The truth usually becomes
apparent post factum and not while
a historical process is going on. But
in order for the truth to come for-
ward — rather sooner than later —
attention must be paid to all the
facts and all the possible interpre-
tations.
As of now, however, one thing
about Yugoslavia in 1995 is appar-
ent: The war is still going on and
there are. and cannot be. any win-
ners.

Opinion/Editorial
Crimes that numb our society
Two articles in last week's .Vcu' York Times caught
my attention and left me stunned as to how >ome
people literary have no regard for their fellow
human beings.
The articles I read involved rape,
and one even involved murder. ^^•-^—^—^—
Apparently a man. if that's what you
choose to call him. named Tony
Harrison, was arrested Sept. 16. for
attacking and assaulting several women
in Brooklyn. NY.
Harrison, police said, had preyed
on women in the Park Slope and
Boerum Hill area in NY. for the last
10 months, raping, robbing or attack-
ing them in tne lobbies of their apart-
ment buildings, usually after mid-
night.
Police also said the rapist threalencxl
women with a gun or a knife and told
them he would kill them if they
screamed.
As I continued to read this disturb-
ing article, I was even more stunnc-d to
discover the public was not well
informed that a rapist was lurking
around their neighborhood.
According to the Times, such crucial
information only became available and
publicized after the arrested suspect
Harrison murdered lesbian Sylvia Lugo
and raped her companion.
Following this murder, many residents credited the
gay and lesbian community for publicizing the crimes,
after they posted fliers on fire boxes or telephone poles
and after calling meetings to discuss the crimes.
The community of Seventh Avenue, which includes
Park Slope and Boerum Hill, claim that (wlice were slow
to publicize the attacks against these women, thus not
informing other women to take extra precautions.
Perhaps if police had informed the community more so
than they actually did. maybe Harrison would have been
caught before victimizing a total of seven women and
killing one of them.
It frightens me and many other people, mainly women,
that one person believed he had the right to hold such
Laura Schmidt
absolute power over his victims.
This belief Harrison held — that he was in control, that
he was almighty and he could do anything — is what
makes women everywhere look over their shoulder when
they hear footsteps while walking
-^^-^^^—^— alone.
Another article in the New York
Times reported that while a woman
was jogging in Central Park on Sept
1 7, she was attacked, savagely beat-
en, probably rap)ed and then thrown
under a stone bridge.
Her body was discovered by two
joggers along a narrow finger of
water commonly known as the
Loch. Investigators said that rain
probably erased all footprints that
could have answered questions
about the murder. The name of the
victim was Maria Isabel Pinto
Monteiro Alvcs.
A few people I have talked to eon
ceming this murder seem to believe
this woman's death was her own
fault bcx'ause she was jogging alone
in the dark.
Perhaps Alves should have been
more cautious of where she was jog-
ging and what time of the day it
was. but this does not excuse her
murderer. To believe that this
woman was asking to be murdered
IS the easy way for certain people to comprehend such a
brutal crime as this one.
Rape, murder and violence does not deserve a
shrug of the shoulders and a simple explanation as an
"I told you so," but these days, that's what it
receives. Our society has become so numb and has
accepted the haunting fact that offenders can easily
get away with crimes such as harassment, rape and
murder.
If the victims of the recent rapes and murders in the
New York City area involved someone I knew or was
close to. I wouldn't be satisfied with an "I told you so."
Think about it. Would you?

University needs to make
more effort
To the Editor:
I am writing in response to the editorial. "A warning
to some, a reminder to others." printed Sept. 20, about
the attack on a woman outside a Southwest resident
hall on Sept. 13. The writer often suggested that
women need to take responsibility by "keeping their
guard up" and to not walk alone at night in order to
avoid assault. She also made the point that the
University has hailed to encourage the female popula-
tion to protect themselves against attacks.
It is also important to recognize that the University
has failed in encouraging men to end violent attacks on
women. An equal effort should be given to educating
men of their responsibility in stopping wrongful abuse
of women. Women should not have to walk through
any campus, town or city, feeling afraid.

The importance of voting
To the Editor:
As I approached the ballot box in Franklin Dining
Commons to vote in last Wednesday's Student
Government election, I asked the individual working
the ballot box how the voter turn-out was.
He replied, "Good, your ballot is number 200."
Two hundred, I thought to myself, over 350 students
live in my dormitory alone with close to 2,000 students
residing throughout the entire Central residential area.
Later, I discovered that the electoral apathy present
in Central was indicative of the entire campus. In fact,
of 17.000 undergraduates at UMass. approximately
850 voted in Wednesday's election.
I find these numbers extremely troubling considering
the publicity given to the election, the efforts of the
candidates participating in the election, and the conve-
nience of the voting "booths" located throughout cam-
pus. In essence, approximately 16.000 of you neglected
to vote.
Although voting is a right granted by our
Constitution, it is in many ways a privilege; one denied
to so many all over the world, yet taken so heavily for
granted in the United States.
As a Student Senator. I constantly hear. "What is the
SGA going to do for me?" or "When are you going to
do something about the food?" etc, etc. When, pray
tell, are students not only going to understand the sig-
nificance of voting, but the importance of Student
Government of this campus?
The members of all three branches of the SGA fight
hard for the rights of all students on this campus.
Every semester, SGA members enact better, more
dynamic legislation to empower UMass students, while
making this a more inviting university to attend.
It's about time that students began leaning more
about the SGA here at UMa.ss. More importantly, it is
cs,sential that students begin exercising the one action
that empowers every individual on campus. Get out
and vote.

Local faves Scud
Mountain Boys play
at Iron Horse Hall

Collegion Staff
SCUD MOUNTAIN BOYS
Iron Horse Music Moll
S«pt.25, 1995
NORTHAMPTON - Sweet and soulful, the
indie-country band, Scud Mountain Boys, took
quiet command of the Iron Horse stage this Sunday
evening.
Illuminated by the light of a small bedside lamp,
the quartet immediately created a quiet intimate set-
ting that invited the select crowd to come on in and
take a listen.
Playing songs off their debut Pine Box. its fol-
low-up Dance The Sight Away and mixing in many
unheard tracks. The Scuds led the audience into a
false sense of mellow security with "Lift Me Up"
only to launch into a heart wrenching cover of
Cher's "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves." The song
was well laced with the echoing eeriness of a steel
guitar, the faint strumming of a mandolin and a lus-
cious two part harmony.
Other plaintive ballads included a languid tribute
to their South Shore hometown, an ode to lost love
and fast paced foot-taping tale of. "where did it all
go wrong?'("|She Took His] Picture"). Each lyric
and note was played like a well thought out sen-
tence drawing in the listener and holding their
attention.
They slowed down their set with "Knieval," their
first single from their new label. Sub Pop. The Scuds
strolled through this sleepy lazy song whose lyrics
seem to simply ask for understanding and patience
This was proceeded by "Silo" (off their highly touted
sophomore effort), a song deeply punctuated by a
throbbing bass and the signature mandolin trill. Also
off their second altxim was, "Freight of Fire," doused
again with a mandolin giving it a foreign flare layered
under the country twang of a steel guitar.
The last song was a new percussion driven num-
ber. "Down in a Deep Hole," that carried the same
refreshing sincerity all their songs somehow man-
aged to contain.
With instruments upright and playing with care
ful attention and quiet seriousness that bespoke
their light-hearted bantering, the Scud Mountain
Boys put on a most memorable show. Drummer,
Tom Shea, stated before the encore (as his band-
mates left the stage), "Why leave when we're gonna
come back anyway?" and one certainly hoped they
would, knowing that when they did. they'd sound
better than ever.
Mystery & plot twists make film an unusiud treat

THE USUAL SUSPCCrS
Directed by Bryon Singer
wirfi Kevin Spocey, Gabriel Byrne, Stephen Baldwin
Playing at Acodemy of Music
Five of the most cunning and nefarious criminals in
New York City are brought together in a police lineup on
a trumped-up charge. Coincidence? Probably not.
Alone, each one is dangerous. Together, these criminal
masterminds are deadly. In fact, only one man who links
these suspects together is deadlier, and he is the infamous
Keyser Soze.
Who is Keyser Soze? That is what we try to figure out
for the duration of this labyrinthine tale of corruption,
greed and villainous back-stabbing. Soze is a mythical
rogue — the sound of his name makes the most hardened
of criminals tremble with fear. Some wonder if he even
exists because the legend that precedes his name is
unfathomably horrific.
These five 'usual suspects" are dark and surreptitious
by nature, but also some of the most colorful characters
ever encountered in a film noir. We laugh at their antics,
we fear their actions and we sympathize with their plights
to get out of the web of crime they have entangled them-
selves in.
Gabriel Byrne (The Crying Came) stars as Dean
Keaton, an ex-convict for whom the police detective
(Chazz Palminteri) has a chip on his shoulder. Keaton is
trying to rebuild a crime-free life. but. uruier the frighten-
ing infiuence of Kt^ser Soze, he finds himself roped back
into committing felonies.
Three other felons in this dastardly mix include Kevin
Pollack, Stephen Baldwin and Benicio Del Toro as
Hocknt7, McManus and Fenster. respectively. Hockney is
a hilariously sarcastic weapons man. Baldwin proves his
acting has range beyond Threesome as McManus is con-
vincingly snide and simultaneously ruthless. Fenster. when
you can comprehend his mumbled dialogue, delivers sev-
eral amusing lines.
Kevin Spacey shines in the role of "Verbal" Kent — a
softspoken crippled ex-con who has acquired immunity
from the law. Through a detailed confession to the police.
Verbal expertly narrates the film
These days it is virtually impossible to make a trendy
action film (with a twist of comedy) about white collar
gangsters without it being compared to the pop-direc-
tion of Quentin Tarantino. With The Usual Suspects,
director Bryan Singer deserves his own limelight, not
the stereotypical judgement that would place him in
Tarantino's shadow. Singer utilizes the flashback tech-
nique in a way that is engaging, but not confusing. As
for filming style, his slow- motion shots add to the
drama at key points in the plot. The gripping film
becomes more of a mystery than anything else, and it
periodically raises your pulse until you reach the
heart-arresting conclusion.
The dramatic plot twist of this white-knuckled mystery
provides the audience with an addictive thrill, which
proves that The Usual Suspects is anything but your usual
crime thriller. A
Gabriel Byrne (seen here in Miller'i Crossing) plays Keaton in The Usual Suspects.

Directed by Edward Bums
with EcKword Boms, Mike McGlooe, Jock Mukofty
Playing at PleasanI St Theater
The Brothers McMullen has the typical independent
film trail of being a little rough around the c>dges. but the
wonderful direction and deliciously funny dialogue prove
that it is really a jewel in the rough.
The story of how the film was created is a triumph in
itself. A young and extremely promismg Edward Burns
wrote and directed Hruthers. as well as financed it. filmed
it in his parents' I ong Island home and casled it with all
of his friends. As scanty budgets gv. Burns attempts to
make the best of it cinematically. bin the real work of art
is the screenplay. Fresh dialogue, in the Long Island Irish
Catholic vernacular is delivered quickly and is bluntly
hilarious
This sentimental comedy is ihe portrait of an Irish
American family (dysfunctional, of courM.-) of which each
member has his own personal struggle. The film com-
mences with the mother McMullen leaving for Ireland to
finally be with her long lost love before the black garb
Irotn her husband's funeral has been taken off She con-
fides in her son Finbar (Barry), played by Bums, that she
sacrificed this love for her now-deceased alcohtdic. wife
beating and child abusing husband to raise her children in
their Irish Catholic home.
Barry's attitude towards tove has been poisoned by see-
ing his mother's torment over the years, and therefore
re-fuses to make any commitment towards the women he
dales. Conflict arises when Barry meets a woman who
wonderfully challenges his resilience towards falling in
love. Maxine Bahns plays this love interest, however her
somewhat unprofessional performance leavc-s a lot to be
desired, and it takes away from Bums' hilarious and natur-
al behavior in front of the camera
Entertaining albeit unseasoned actors Mike McGlone
and lack Mulcahy play Ihe other two brothers. Patrick
and lack. Patrick is a devout Catholic who struggles with
the tenets of his religion daily, such as the fuel that his
girlfriend is lewish. how he should not have premarital
sex and how he should not use birth control (all ol which
he does). On the other end of ihe spectrum is the oldest
brother lack, who has a midlife crisis, is afraid to begin a
family and is templed by an old flame to cheat on his
wife.
The Brothers McMullen is a witty and upbeat film
despite the serious issues that are- dealt with (watch for
the infamous 'banana* scene). If his first film is indicative
of his raw talent, we can expect great things from Bums
in the future, frf

Belly brings back bubblegum pop
Tanya Donnelly & Belly to hoirrhard, VearX direct wiih. pop hits
Tuesday, September 26, 1995 / Page 7
By Mike Burke
Collegian Staff
A low ycar^ ago ihc only female
led bands that could be heard on
alternative roek slaliuns were the
Bangles and Siouxshe and the
Banshees. These days every time
you turn the dial on your radio your
ears are sure to be overwhelmed
with high pitch girls leading bands
like Veruca Salt. Letters to Cieo or
Belly. All of them have a number of
catchy bubblegum pop songs that
are sung by "Tm cuter than you"
female singers.
Tanya Donelly will bring her
bleached blonde hair and band.
Belly, to the Pearl Street stage tonight
to prove their worth amongst the
bubblegum girl club.
Almost a decade ago Donelly
emerged on the Boston rock scene
with the Throwing Muses who also
featured Kristin Hersh. Through sev-
eral albums the band influenced an
entire generation of girl led bands.
There has been a long lasting debate
as to who was the genius behind the
Muses? Donelly or Mersh'.'
Since the departure of Donelly it
has become obvious: they both
were. The Throwing Muses are still
churning out delightful pop gems
while the Donelly led Belly has
achieved much fame and recogni-
tion since the release of their debut
album. Slur.
Featuring the hits, "Feed the Tree"
and "Gepetto" Belly dominated the
airwaves two years ago and with
good reason. Donelly was writing
some of the catchiest tunes around.
Besides plenty of airtime. the band
was nominated for two Crammys and
two MT\' awards.
As a live band they have loured the
world over from Europe to lapan to
Australia. In England their first sin-
gle. "Feed the Tree" went straight to
number one, almost unprecedenled
for a debut single by an American
band. Their past live shows in the
\'alley proved to their fans that they
were as tight live as on record.
With the release of their sopho-
more effort. King, the band has
remained in the limelight of the alter-
native rock world. Are they still the
fun and bouncy band seen at the
Student Union Ballroom two years
ago? That is yet to be determined but
surely they will entertain the crowd
with past hits as well as newer tracks.
Hi'lly uill play Pearl Street tonight
ai 8 p.m The show is IS+ and tickets
are $12 50 aJi: For information and
tickets call The Surthampton Box

NEW ^ORK —Alter a tiring seven hour trip we Anally
arrived at our destination. It was a typical American motel
— low cost, no frills, situated four miles from the Falls on
Niagra Falls Koulevard.
It hadn't been a particularly long journey, but having
had five people crushed into an economy rent-a-car it
had been a squeeze to say the least.
After getting up quite early the next day. we set off
for Canada. After parking the car on
the U.S. side we made our way as
pedestrians over the Rainbow Bridge
which links the two countries. As four
of us weren't U.S. or Canadian citizens
we got our passports and visas ready
and passed through immigration. Passports stamped,
we finally got off the bridge and landed on Canadian
soil. I was surprised to find it so similar to the U.S.
What had I expected'.* Execrations in fluent French
perhaps, or maybe some "Mounties." the like of
which I'd seen back home on television. Naive to say
the least ..
As we walked along the ridge the American Falls sud
denly came into full view and I couldn't help but be
impressed at the sheer drop and power of the water as it
plummeted downward, seeming to boil at the bottom as
clouds of mist and vapor soared upwards.
We went to the "Maid of the Mists" ticket booth and
alter buying our tickets, took the elevator down and
emerged at the fool on the far side of the falls. We were
each given a fluorescent blue bundle which turned out to
be a raincoat: I couldn't help thinking it would have been
more u.seful as a giant bin-liner but it had its uses, espe-
cially on entry to the Horseshoe where the spray and wind
attacked us from all sides.
As the boat slowly entered the Horseshoe we became
enveloped by the immense walls of descending water
which make up the Falls. I can only liken the experience
to how I imagine it would feel to be in the eye of a hum-
cane — awe inspiring but at the same time humbling as
you attempt to quantify the energy involved!
Over the loud-speaker the captain reUted the dory
about the seven-year-old boy who was swept over the Falls
but who was miraculously savc-d and picked up by a 'Maid
of the Mist" vessel. Was this little anecdote based on reality
or from the Superman film?
I couldn't help but wonder what it must be like to be
swept over and then under the falls, only to find one-
self rising out of the depths to be frantically pho-
tographed by a mass of blue-clad tourists. He allegedly
lived at least. I was more amazed at the
number of people who had gone over the
Falls in a barrel, coroner being the only
ones that would end up photographing
them!
The noise wasn't as loud as I had antici-
pated but I was more concerned with gripping the rail as
the boat continucxl to rock and jolt, trying to maintain its
unnaturally close position to the full force of the Falls.
Finally the boat turned and it was rapidly swept back
downstream where it docked once more. It had been an
adventure to say the least.
We spent the rest of the day marvelling at the Falls
from different angles — especially from the famous Table
Rock vantage point on the Canadian side which offers a
terrifvingly close and uninhibited view of the Horseshoe
Falls.
It had been a terrific weekend and returning lo the
University of Massachusetts seemed rather boring after
having had such a fun lime. I had caught the
travel-bug and the first symptom was trying to decide
where to go next. New York Cily. or perhaps the
Grand Canyon ..
Niagra Falls is at least a 7 hour drive from UMass and
you can choose between either the U.S. or Canadian
side to stay on. (if you are a foreign student planning to
cross into Canada do not forget lo get your visa docu-
ments signed at the Foreign Student Office at South
Hills or else you won't be allowed back into the U.S.)
Motel accommodation is plentiful and cheap but it's
best to go outside holiday weekends and the main holi-
day periods.

If the Minutemen can utilize the

Saturday and similar perfor-
mances will be needed to top a
tough Hartford side.

Going into today's match with PC.
Di.xon was uncertain with the lineup
she was going to go with. Depending
on how the players responded in
practice over the weekend, decisions
would be made prior to the match.
However, she feels very confident in
whatever lineup she chooses.
'I think we are a strong, deep team
so that when need be. I can substitute
players." Dixon said. "That has helped
us stay focused and competitive."
Having lost by only a point to K°
last year. Dixon searched for recruits
this year that could help propel the
doubles play. What she found was
freshman lackie Braunstein who was
recruited mainly for htT doubles abili-
ty. Not only has Braunstein delivered
in doubles play, she has been an unex-
pected surprise in singles play, with a
4-0 record going into today's match.
"Our goal was to win the close
matches we lost last year." Dixon said.
"With our improved doubles play. I
think we will pull those out this year."

Sitton and junior co-captain Liz
Durant. UMass faces a tough squad
in the Lady Friars, who are coming

tough this year. Dixon is confident

Mariners closing in on title
By Jim Cour
Assoc iotod Press
SEATTLE — Lou Piniella is emphatic.
"We haven't won anything yei." the Seattle Mariners'
third-year manager said.
No. they haven't. But they're getting close.
When the Mariners play California in the Kingdome
today and tomorrow, they will be in position to virtually
close out the Angels and move within one victory of wrap-
ping up the AL West. With six games to go. the Mariners
hold a two-game lead over the Angels, who appeared to
have the division wrapped up at the start of September.
The Mariners overtook the Angels because California
collapsed and because they're playing the best baseball in
the team's 19-year history. Seattle has won 21 of its last
29 games since Ken Griffey |r beat the New York
Yankees with a ninth-inning home run on Aug. 24
"We've been playing well." Piniella said. "We've been
playing with a lot of intensity. We've been hitting the ball
well. We've been getting the good pitching."
But. he cautioned, "there's nothing to gel euphoric
about yet. We've got some work to do."
The Mariners will send Andy Benes (b-l) against
Shawn Boskie (7-6) in the first game against the Angels.
In Game 2. Piniella will go with Tim Belcher (lO-IU)
against Mark l^ngston (15-6). For the first time ever, the
Mariners have a magic number. Any combination of
Seattle wins and California defeats that add up lo five
would give the Mariners their first division title.
If the Mariners sweep the Angels, their magic number
will be one. Seattle winds up the regular season with a
four-game series in Arlington. Texas, against the Ranger>.
The MaritK-rs have caught the city's fanc^. For the three-
game weekend Oakland scries, evuberant crowds of 51.500.
54.589 and 46.714 screamed until their voices were hoarse
as the Mariners came frum behind twice for victories.
"There's a lot ol enthusiasm, a lot of excitement, a lol
of anticipation." Piniella said. "If there was a doubt about
Seattle not being a viable major-league city, I think this
should remove it."
The biggest symbol of doubt Monday remained last
week's public vote on whether lo build a new $325 mil-
lion stadium with a retractable roof. The measure led by a
razor-thin margin of 510 voles, with updated totals sched-
uled to be relcascxl late Monday afternoon.
Piniella. though, was optimistic about baseball's future
in the Northwest. "I think no matter what happens, they'll
get a new stadium in town." he said. 'I think if you liH>k a
sampling in the clubhouse, everybody wants the team to
stay here. Which it will."
The Mariners have been particularly hot at home.
They've won 14 of their last 16 games. Their hitters have
produced 121 runs in those 16 games, hitting 55 home
runs.
■Right now. ihe> are really hot," said reliever Rick
Honeycult. a former Mariners pitcher who was acquired
by the Yankees from the A's on Monday. "They've put the
pieces together. They've made some good vtneran acquisi-
tions down the stretch."
ATLANTA — Carios Perez of the
Montreal Expos posted bond and
walked out of jail Monday, several
hours alter a judge refused to drop
rape charges against him.
The 24-yearold rookie pitcher was
arrested Saturday on charges of rape
and aggravated sodomy after a 20-
year-old woman accused him of forc-
ing her to have sex in his hotel room
after they met on a blind date.
Perez, wearing a multicolored betet
and matching vest, a black T-shirt and
jeans, hugged his lawyer before leaving
jail. He said he wants to pitch this
week, and Fxpos general manager
Kevin Malone said Pea'z could be on
the mound a- early as Thursday in
Montreal against Cincinnati.
He'll rejoin the team Tuesday in
Miami, where the Fxpos an: playing
the Florida Marlins.
".All I can say is that I'm not
guilty." Perez said.
The pitcher was released on
$50,000 bond after Municipal Court
ludgc Howard k)hnson turned over the
case lo Fulton County Superior Court.
Superior Court judge Philip Etheridge
agreed lo let Perez go free but said he
must have no contact with the victim.
Perez' attorney. Guy Davis, made
arrangements for the bond.
"There was no force — there was
no evidence of that." Davis said. "He
said everything was con.sensual."
Fiiriier in the day. Pctvz stood shak-
ing his head "no" and holding his
hands clasped behind his back as the
woman told Johnson how he pinned
her on the bed in his holel room and
raped and sodomized her hours alter
his 5 1 loss lo the .Atlanta Braves on
Friday night. Dressed in red prison
pants and shirt. Perez listened as his
accuser said she fell she had no choice
but lo go with him to his hotel luom.
She testified she met Perez at a
bar Friday night and gave him her
telephone number, then went out-
side with hir) lo wail lor friends to
pick her up. When a cab came by.
Perez said. "Come on. let's go." she
said.
She said she knew Perez probably
waniLxl to have sex. but she went lo
his room anyway because she thought
she could refuse him. "I was con-
cerned about being with him. but I
felt if I told him i didn't want to do
anything, that would be it," she said.
Under questioning from Davis, she
acknowledged she did not call to the
crowd in front of the bar before she
got inio the taxi. Nor did she seek
help from anyone as they went lo the
room.
Bill Stoneman, Expos vice presi-
dent for operations, accompanied
Perez to the court hearing and met
him at the jail. "It was a total sur-
prise." Stoneman said. "This has
been on the minds of the players. ...
Most of the concern has been for
Carlos himself." The players were
told of the arrest before Saturday's
game against the Braves.
"Everybody knows he's frce-spiril-
ed." Malone said. "But nobody would
say he's mean or belligerent. They're
surprised. Nobody can believe he
would do that."
Malone said the Expos organization
belic-ves Ptrez is innocent, which is why
he'll be allowed to rejoin the team.
"The facts came out today in the
preliminary hearing that showed
strong evidence that he's not guilty."
Malone said. "To me it was an unfor-
tunate situation. I believe he was
falsely accused, su I don't think he
should be punished for something I
don't think he did."
Perez, a native of the Dominican
Republic, was in contention for NL
Rookie of the Year before stumbling
recently. He is 10-8, but ha.sn't won
since Aug. 6, going 0-5 with three no-
decisions. He is the youngest brother of
Pascual Perez, who pitched with the
Fxpos. the New York Yankees and the
Braves. Another brother. Melido. pitch-

Pat Riley meets his new team
By Steven Wine
Associated Press
HIAI.FAH. Ila. - The me-dia outnumbered the players
Monday when Pat Riley held his first workout as coach of
the Miami Heal. The start of a three-day mini-camp drew
17 prospects, all hoping for an invitation to training camp
next week. Some 20 reporters and photographers were on
hand lo chronicle the event.
Rik7 said it was good to be back on the court after an
eventful offseason. Following lengthy negotiations
between the Heat and his former team, the New York
Knicks. Riley signed a contract Sept. 2 for an estimated
$15 million over five years.
"There were times this summer when I didn't think any-
thing was going to get done." Riley said. "One day you
feel like it's going to happen, the next day you feel like it
could be forever. But believe me. I've left it in my
rearview mirror. I'm not looking back. It's business as
usual — a good practice with the players working hard."
The occasion was hardly formal for basketball's most
glamorous coach, vrith Riley unshaven and chewing gum
as he led a two-hour workout in shorts and a Heat polo
shirt.
Among those invited to attend the mini-camp were
eight veterans and two 7-footers, including Alan Ogg.
who was the Heat's 12th man in 1990-92. The most expe-
rienced player was 6- 1 I Greg Foster, who has been with
five NBA teams the past five seasons.
"We need some bigger players." Riley said. "We ended
up bringing in nine big guys, so we have some size.
Hopefully in a couple of days, we can pick out a couple of
guys that we can bring back to training camp."
Riley has yet to meet with most of the Heat playen
under contract, but he hopes lo do so before training
camp begins Oct. 6.

Boston Gardens
final event tonight
By Jimmy Golen
Aisocioted Press
BOSTON — If there are any memories left in the
Boston Garden, now is the time for them to come out
from behind the pillars.
Tonight's exhibition game between the Boston Bruins
and the Montreal Canadlens is the final event slated for
the b7-year-old building. The banners will be taken down
from the Garden rafters on Friday night and raised in the
new arena on Saturday.
"Its time." Bruins Hall of Famcr Bobby Orr said
Monday at a reception at the New England Sports
Museum. "It's creaky, and we all get a little creaky. But
the memories we'll always have. She's been a great,
grand building. But it's an old building and we have to
go on."
|ohn Bueyk. who as the team's captain in 1970 was the
last Bruin to accept the Stanley Cup on the Garden ice.
agreed. "It's going to be a sad day when it goes down." he
said. "But we need a new building. And we've got a new
building. And it's gorgeous."
The $160 million FleetCentcr has aircondltloning and
unobstructed views and escalators and all the "modern"
things that the dilapidated Garden lacks. But to Mill
Schmidt, who first played In the Garden when he was 18
years old and the building w as b. the Garden oikc looked
modem, too.
"At the lime, they didn't have any of those things. Ii
was like a new building." the former Bruins star said.
"Now I'm seeing another new building because the good
Lord has allowed me to stick around this long."
Schmidt's No. Ii will hang from the FleelCenler rafters
with Orr's No. 4 and Bucyks No. 9. as they did in the
Garden. Schmidt said he had two favorite memories of
the old building: his first game, and winning ihe Stanley
Cup in 1939.
"To another generation of exBruins. though, it is a
different Cup victory thai stands out in their minds.
Like most Bruins fans, they place Orr's game winning
goal to clinch the 1970 Stanley Cup at the lop of their
list
"When Bobby scored that goal, there's no question
about that." goallender Gerry Cheevers said. "I love the
old Garden. To mc it's the greatest sports arena m all o(
sports."

Yankees acquire Honeycutt
NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Yankees,
seeking a left-handed reliever in iheir bid for the
wild-card playoff berth in the American League,
acquired Riek Honeycutt from the Oakland Athletics
Monday.
The 4 1 -year-old Honeycutt. a 19year major lea-
guer, was obtained for an undisclosed amount of
cash. He was 5-1 with a 2.42 ERA and two saves in
49 relief appearances with Oakland.
To make room for Honeycutt on their 40-nian ros-
ter, the Yankees designated right-hander |eff
Patterson for assignment. Patterson, who spent most

/ //»n/( one of the seorets ol a
contented life is obvious....
ptan out your time, your montfi
or, your weefc so tfiat you are
occupied by tilings you find delightful... .
even if it's quiet and you're alone.
For instance on:
Mondays- have a nice dinner with
friends
Tuesdays- watch your favorite t.v.
slww with a tasty snack
Wednesdays- do a lioim improvement
job or clean something which you've
always cherished.
Thursdays- sit in tlw dark alone for
Iwurs
Fridays- go to a local lovety natural
setting... like a lake or mountain
Saturdays- do something athletic
which pushes you to a new limit
Sundays- sit alone again in the dark
until you cry.

Minutevtfomen to host Northeastern

The Massachusclts women's vol-
Icsball team returns home this
evening to lace the Huskies of
Nonheasiern in the Curry Hieks
I .ii.' at 7 p.m.
I he Minutewomen kicked off
their A- 10 season last weekend
I- 1 with a somewhat disappoint-
ing showing. After routing St.
Bonaveniure 5-0. they lost a
five-game match to Duquesne
5-2. This was quite a victory for
the Dukes, as this is the first year
I hey have had the privilege of
working with a full-time coaching
staff
'I thought we didn't hit the ball in
bounds as much as we should have,
our blocks were off. They gave us too
many variables and we just couldn't
adjust.* Massachusetts coach Bonnie
Kenny said.
Overall. Kenny's squad stands at
7 tj. a far crv from their 14-0 open-
ing stretch of 1<VH.
However, while the numbers
between the "94 and ■'J5 seasons
may not seem to match up. one has
to l(<i>k at the two schedules. This
season. UMass began with a
demanding schedule, including a
trip to California in the UC-Santa
Barbara Tournament playing some
of the best competition in the
nation.
.Aside from a demanding schedule,
the Minutewomen have been forced
to compete without two of their vet-
eran players, senior middle blocker
Rachel Sky and junior outside hitter
Gi7a Rivera.
Last weekend's competition
marked the first match Sky relumed
to the court since seeing limited play-
ing time in the LlMass Invitational,
and sitting out the Mullins Center
battle against UConn with an injured
knee.
Sky is UMass' key defensive
link who led the team in solo
blocks posting five against both
Hofstra and Boston College last
year. Her absence from the floor
was evident in the 5-2 loss to
UConn.
Rivera is clearly the
Minutewomen 's offensive standout.
Last year. Rivera made the First
Team All- Atlantic 10. leading the
team with 525 kills, averaging 4.5fci
kills per game for a ,25b hitting
percentage. This year has been no
different. Rivera has earned such
distinctions as being named to the
All-Tournament team at the UCSB
Invitational, although she has yet to
play in an A-IO match, as she is
out with an ankle injury. Rivera
underwent another x-ray of her
ankle yesterday, but the results of
the test were not available at press
lime.
So far this season, sophomore
outside hitter Lesley Nolan has
stepped it up for the UMass offense
since Rivera's injury. Nolan
returned from last weekend's road
trip posting career-high stats
When all was said and done against
Duquesne. Nolan tallied 29 kills
leading the Minutewomen for three
straight games, as well as notching
25 digs.
"It will be great to come home
again to play Northeastern. In this
one we really need to win the battle
up against the net." Kennv said of the
5-9 Huskies.
Kenny feels that the squad has
improved on going from dig to kill in
transition, something that plagued
the team in the prc-scason. If all goes
well. UMass should be a force at the
net and walk out of the Cage with a
win.

UMass cannot look past the Hawks
By Leigh Torfain

The party is over
The Massachusetts men's soccer team must prepare
for today's match at Hartford, leaving their shocking
upset of Boston University in the past.
Resting on their laurels, while simultaneously look-
ing ahead to Friday's match against San Francisco in
Palo Alto. Ca.. will spell certain doom for the
Minuiemcn (b-2-l > as they cannot afford to overlook
the Hawks, who will pose a formidable challenge.
UMass has moved up to fourth in tfie latest New Euigland
nrglonal rankings, but can ill-alTofd to fall to Hartford today.
"They're a dangerous team." UMass coach Sam
Koch said. "They have an excellent attacking midfield-
er and sinker. They're very potent on offense. Also,
their sweeper is one of the best in New England. Their
defense can nullify some teams."
The Hawks enter the weekend on the heels of a pal-
try weekend which featured a loss against
Wisconsin-Milwaukee and a tie at Wisconsin Green
Bay
Hartford is led by freshman forward Adrian Weekes.
who ha' tallied five goals to lead the team.
The Hawks juggle their goalkeepers, with Kevin
Hickey (four games) and Christian DiGenova (three
games) splitting the goalkeeping duties this season.
Still, the Minutemen must resist the urge to look
ahead to sunny California and bask in the glory of
Saturday's BU win today.
The UMavs hockey team faced a similar predicament last
"^ason. After healing No. I Maine on Saturday they braced
for evoitual National Champion BU on Friday, and sarxl
ttichod in-betwtvn was lowly Holy Cross in WotvcslcT.
The Minulcmen blew a third period lead and fell to
the Crusaders in overtime, in what was clearly the
worst moment of their t>-28-2 season.
Koch has pa-sscd upon his team to not have a similar
defeat today in Hartford and has kept thcTn focused on the
task at hand, not the victory or their upcoming roadtrip

Smith commits;
others may follow
By Matt Vautour
Collegian Staff
The University of Massachusetts mens basketball
team continues to stockpile talent for the l99t>-97
campaign as another high-profile recruit has verbal-
ly committed to the Minutemen.
Winston Smith, a 6-foot-5-inch small
forward/guard from Elizabeth, N| has joined Boston
native Monty Mack in the now-forming recruiting
class.
An impressive summer at the ABCD camp sent
Smith's stock soaring. He put up impressive scoring
numbers and played solid defense, but what most
distinguished Smith was his work ethic, a trait that
Massachusetts coach |ohn Calipari covets.
Massachusetts has been one of several major play-
ers in the race for Smith's teammate and friend, point
guard Shahcen Holloway. The 5-looi-IO flashy
point guard is one of the most highly sought after
point guards in the nation. The commitment of Mack,
however, has caused Calipari's interest to diminish.
Another player that has tics to Smith is Ajmal
Basil. The 6-foot-9-inch forward is a friend of
Smith and is strongly considering joining him in
Amherst. Basil, who has been .described as a more
polished, less athletic Inus Norville type player is
coached by the legendary Bob Hurley Sr. at St.
Anthony's in jersey City, N|.
The Minutemen have six available scholarships to
offer prospective players, two of which will be filled
by Mack and Smith. A seventh scholarship could
become available if junior center Marcus Camby
decides to head to the NBA a year early.
With the abundance of slots aviiilable. the Minutemen
have entered the race for several big-name talents.
• Tim Thomas would be the crown jewel in
Massachusetts' recruiting class, but many other
schools have similar aspirations. Thomas is consid-
ered by just about every expert to be among the lop
three recruits available.
At t>-foot-9. the Patterson native is a force inside
as a scorer and a reboundcr. but can also be produc-
tive from ihe outside as well.
UMass, which is reportedly making a home visit
to Thomas shortly, is still on his final list of seven
along with North Carolina, Kentucky, Rutgers,
Villanova, Selon Hall and Georgetown.
Thomas is also considering going the Kevin
Gametl route, skipping college and heading right to
Ihe NBA. His performance on the SAT will report-
edly influence that decision considerably.
Thomas isn't expected to make any decisions until
the spring.
• Thomas' teammate Rodney Rogers is also inter-
ested in UMass. Rogers, who is not related to the
NBA star, has a broad list that includes UMass,
Rutgers, Villanova, George Mason, North
Carolina-Charlotte and UNC-Wilmington.
• Massachusetts is also reportedly pursuing a
local duo. Twins Mike and |on Babul, of North
Atileboro are drawing national attention. At
6-foot-6, Mike is considered by most to be the bel-
ter of the two brothers, but Ihe slightly taller
(6-foot-7) Ion is solid and worth taking a chance
on, if the prize is landing Mike.
In addition to UMass, the duo has received over-
tures from UNC, Rutgers, Ohio Slate, Georgia
Tech and Clemson.
• Other swingmen possibilities are Devonnaire Deas
and Chris Camweil.
Deas. a Syracuse native, is playing at St. Thomas
More in Oakdale. Conn. The 6-foot-5-inch shooter

UMass stellar over weekend
By Fred Hurlbrink, Jr.
Colleyion Correspondent
The Massachusetts men's water
polo team enjoyed a stellar weekend,
posting a convincing victory at
Brown and shocking defending
Winter League Club Champion New
York Athletic Club, The Minutemen
also rolled over an experienced Metro
Ikision Club.
Freshman sensation Brian Stahl
starred this weekend, scoring a
team-high five goals and six points in
the Minutcnien's 12-2 thrashing of
Brown.
"I knew he was the real deal when
he came in. He's siiiiting to leam the
college game now." said a pleased
UMass coach Russ Yarworth.
The victory may have come at a
price, though, as Stahl suffered a
hyper -extended elbow at the end of
the Brown match. "He's got a little
bit ol an injury, but I think he'll b*:
alright." Yanvoiih said.
Stahl played through the injury,
scoring three goals in Massachusetts'
triumph over NYAC.
Losing the fantastic freshman
would be a huge blow to the 9-1
(5-0. EWPA) Minutemen. This
weekend he overtook senior co-cap-
tain Luis Limardo as the team's lead
ing scorer with 25 goals, lb assists
(both second on the leam). and two
two-point goals for 45 total points.
Limardo. the team leader in goals
(50) and ejections drawn ( 18). was
thrown out of the Brown match after
a scuflle with its goalie who was also
tossed. The team's big gun impressed
in the two exhibition mulches scoring
two big goals as the Minutemen held
back a fourth quarter surge and over-
took NYAC 9-8.
UMass was on fire against Metro
Boston as Limardo led a 24 goal
attack with five tallies and an assist.
Luis' younger brother, |.C.. had a
strong game scoring three liines. one
counting for two points, and dishing
out a pair of assists. Senior co-cap-
tain lohn Luviano scored four goals
while six other Minutemen put the
ball in the net en route to the 24- 10
slaughter.
The UMass defense was even more
impressive than the offense of Stahl,
Limardo and co. UMass goalie Alex
Mujica made lb saves while allowing
just nine goals, commanding most of
the playing lime in the first two
games. The Minutemen defense also
held Brown to converting just one of
five man-up advantages, while
UMass went 5-for-b.
Yarworth was very pleased with
the club's performance, but not satis-
fied yet.
"There are basically three things
we have to work on. One is our fast
break. Secondly, our shooting per-
centage is still nut where I'd like it to
be. Finally, our play in man-up and
man-down situations |is something
we have to work on, as well)." said
With most of baseball's divisional
races completed, and many fans
already looking towards the playoffs,
one question slill remains. . .
How will the Wests be won?
Not only are the Dodgers and RcxrkJes
still battling it out fcr the title in the National
Ixague Wc>st. but in
one of the muKt amaz
ing comebacks (reati
chokejobs ) di all-tirtK .
the California Angels,
who have led the AI
West all .season long,
are now trailing the
Seattle Mariners.
Also, unlike the
NL West, the loser of the American
league's kjne race will not be the frontruiv
ner for the wild card. Yes. Rod Sox fans, it
looks right now like the dreaded New
York Yankees will have a spot in the
post-season.
• As for the Angels, they are look-
ing to be the Red Sox of this decade.
Everyone remembers the Sox choke of
■fib. but don't forget the Angels were
one strike away from eliminating the
BoSox from the playoffs that year. If it
wa.sn't for Dave Henderson's miracle
home run. it would have been Wally
loyner missing a ground ball to give
the Mets a series win.
Now the Angels, who two weeks ago
were a lock to win the AL West, and at
one point were ahead by 1 5 gaines. have
folded in a way reminiscent of the '78 Sox.
Anyone ever heard of the Curse of
Rod Carew'?
• How "btJut Tony Cwynn? The
guy is once again atop the NL in bat-
ting average. Playing in relative ambi-
guity with the San Diego Padres for
his entire career. Gwynn has been one
of the most consistent and best hitters
in baseball for the last 10 years.
It is scary to think about how
much press this guy would get if he
put up the numbers he did in a big
market, like New York. In the Big
Base
ibaU
Velarde is a definite Hall of Famer.
• To fulfill a promise. I have to dedi-
cate a few lines to the Philadelphia
Phillies. To the nation, the '95 Phillies
will be remembered as the team that had
a big lead in the early going, and
dropptxi faster than the value of Sam
Horn's rookie
card.
However, as a
friend of mine
continues to point
out. the Phils have
stayed in wikl card
contention for the
better part of the
year with guys like
Kevin Flora. Tom Marsh and Sox flop
Mark Whiten baiting in the heart of
their lineup. This could have been a big
season for Philly had it not been for
injuries. As it is. Paul Quanlrill has
probably been the team's most consis-
tent hurlcr. Now, that's scary.
• Carlos Perez, the Expos' flamboy-
ant rookie pitcher, has been placed in
police custody after charges of rape and
aggravated sixlomy. Carlos, known to
most baseball fans for his antics on the
mound, is now just the next tragedy to
befall the talented Perez family.
First, oldest brother Pascual ruins
his career with drug addictions. Next.
Melido goes on the shelf with arm
problems, maybe never to return.
Now Carlos, one of the brightest
young pitchers in the game, puts it all
on the line by attacking a
20-year-old blind date.
If he is found guilty. Carlos should
be put in jail and suspended from the
league. Baseball has had enough
problems getting the fans back and
Perez, a large draw in a small market
town, may be the next in a long line
of players who waste their con.sider-
able talents with bad decisions,
• I'm getting one of those "Save the

• Deion Sanders n-'-kcd up and
left the Giants as soon c ley were
officially eliminated fro jntention.
The more I hear about this guy. the
more I dislike him, and I don't under-
.stand why San Fran GM Bob Quinn
is so anxious to re-sign him.
He has already agreed to pay
Sanders a $1 million bonus for play-
ing to the end of the season, which
isn't going to happen, and Quinn will
most likely shell out all kinds of cash
to keep Deion in the Bay Area.
Let's gel one thing straight. The
guy hit .2b8 this year, and obviously
doesn't have his mind on baseball.
Plus, what will San Fran fans do.

Encephalitis diagnosed in Springfield infant
By Trtfdy T/non
AsKXiotsd Press
SPRINGFIELD — Stale health officials plan lo
expand their mosquito testing program to this
western Massachusetts city after a seven-month-
old boy was diagnosed with eastern equine
encephalitis.
The Springfield infant is the first person lo con-
tract the rare, but sometimes-deadly, mosquito-
borne disease outside the coastal areas of south-
eastern Massachusetts since the state health
department began keeping records in 1958. said
Scan Fitzpatrick. a health depiartment spokesman.
"At this point we think it is an anomaly."
Fitzpatrick said Tuesday. "We don't think it
marks the beginning of a similar threat as exists in
southeastern Massachusetts."
"But we do know that the infant had never trav-
eled further east than Slurbridge and so must
have contracted it through a mosquito bite some-
where in that area," he said. "And that's whv we
are expanding our testing program next spring."
The illness, which affects Ihe tissues around the
brain, is characterized by high fever, stiff neck.
delirium and eventually coma, he said. Although
it is the rarest of the encephalitis strains carried
by mosquitoes, it is one of the most deadly. Three
out of every 10 pc-opje who contract the disease,
which also affects horses, die.
Nationwide about five cases a year are report-
ed, primarily in the coastal areas along the
Atlantic seaboard although scattered cases have
been seen as far inland as central Michigan and
northern Indiana, said Dr. Ted Tsai, a medical
officer at the Centers for Disease Control office in
Boulder, Colo.
\o cure exists.
"Physicians jusi attempt to treat the symp-
toms." he said. The little boy. who is believed lo
have been infected in August, was in serious con-
dition Tuesday at Bayslate Medical Center in
Springfield, according to Keith O'Connor, a hos-
pital spokesman State and hospital officials
declined to release his name al the request of the
family.
The diagnosis was not confirmed until last
week when doctors were able to culture the virus
in the laboratory. Fitzpatrick said "It was kind of
a surprise." he said. "If it had been in Plymouth or
Norfolk counties you would be more likely to
think of a mosquito bile "
The last human case of the disease in
Massachusetts was in 1992. Filzr>atrick said. Over
the last 40 years, he said, a total of W ca.ses have
been reported in the slate.
For the pasi several years Ihe state health
department has been trapping and testing mosqui-
toes in 19 towns in Norfolk and Plymouth coun-
ties in an atlcmpl to gauge how prevalent the
virus is. In 1990. when three people were strick-
en, it launched a massive mosquito spraying pro-
gram.
Bui this summer, with dry weather keeping
down ihe numbers of mosquitoes, none of the
22.000 insects it checked were found lo be infect-
ed. Fitzpatrick said.
The virus is carried by birds, which can only be
infected by a single species of mosquito. The birds
don't become ill.
And it is only when one of the wide variety of
mosquitos that feed on both birds and humans
chances to bite first an infected bird and then a
human that the disease can be transmitted to peo-
ple, he said.
2 in 20 floor sets a precedent for community
Qayf lesbian f bisexual and transgender students celebrate success of residence hall
By Loura Schmidt
Collegian Staff
An "Opening Reception for the 2
in 20 floor" took place Monday
night as Gay. Lesbian, Bisexual,
and Transgender students from the
floor met other students and vari-
ous University organizational mem-
bers.
This, the first reception for the
floor this year, was a time for stu-
dents to meet each other and to con-
nect with everyone in the surround-
ing communities, Dawn Bond,
Resident Director of the Crabtree.
Knowlton, and Mary Lyon Cluster
explained,
"We have invited faculty, staff, and
others who have shown that they are
our allies," said Bond.
Allies attending the reception rep-
resented Llealth Services, Housing
Services, the Everywoman's Center,
the Dean of Students Office, various
Resident Directors and Assistant
Resident Directors, and the
Stonewall Center.
Area Director of the
Northeast/Sylvan area, leffrey
Ederer. was also present.
"Our University has a reputation of
reaching out to different communi-
ties, and the 2 in 20 floor is one of
them. In Ihe future, we hope that
this floor and community will leave a
legacy." said Ederer.
Ann Marie Peavey. the Resident
Assistant on the 2 in 20 floor for ihc
third consecutive year, has seen the
fourth Hoor of Mary Lyon Residence
Hall prosper.
The idea to create a safe and sup-
portive living environment originally
became an idea in the Spring of 1990
by some students and the Resident
Director of Brown at the lime
It wasn't until the fall of 1992
when the 2 in 20 floor was estab-
lished in Mary Lyon, at first including
only five students. The fioor d«rived
its name from the statistic thai two
out of every twenty people are mem-
bers of the GLUT community. Today
this floor is the home of 35 GLUT
students.
"When the floor was first estab-
lished, it was a safe place to live.
Now. it serves more as a community.
The 2 in 20 floor is a place where
you can express your feelings, figure
out who you are. and be proud of it,"
said Peavey.
"I am so glad to have seen this
fioor grow and prosper. I hope after
I am gone, the fioor still will contin-
ue to grow," said Peavey.
In 1993. one year after the fioor
began, members established a char-
ter for their community.
The charter includes various poli-
cies and guidelines for the fioor to
follow. One policy requires that the
RD of the Crabtree cluster and the
RA of the fioor be "out" members of
the GLUT community.
Part of the charter entitled
"Purpose" slated that the purpose of
the 2 in 20 fioor is to provide a sup-
portive community living experience
for GLBT students and to woVk
together lo end homophobia and
heteroscxism.
"We are constantly adding and
revising our charter." said Peavey.
lames Conaty, a junior English
major and one of the original five
GLBT students when the 2 in 20
fioor was established, has been a
witness lo such revisions.
"The fioor has always been a com-
fortable, familiar, friendly place in
which to live. I hope to eventually see
the fioor incorporate Ihe third fioor
as well as the lourth floor in the
future." said Conaty.
"We are always looking lo increase
our community. Here, you can feci
free to talk lo other students.
Hopefully, the 2 in 20 floor will
remain a permanent fixture," said
Conaty.

MASSPIRG fights
EPA rollbacks with
help from senators
By Alison ConnoHy
Collegion Staff
In response to threatening congres-
sional attempts to roll back environ
mental protection laws, more than
one million sigiuitures were collected
over the last six months by environ-
mental groups, including the
MASSPIRG of the Amherst area
MASSPIRG said that the House
and the Senate have approved bills
that would weaken the Clean Air Act.
the Clean Water Act. and the
Endangered Species Act. as well as
legislation ihal would open wilder-
ness areas to more logging, mining
and oil and gas drilling.
The signatures were part of the
Environmental Bill of Rights
Campaign, launched in March.
Signatures were gathered
door-to-door, al fairs, malls, con-
certs and rallies, as well as through
newsletters and al Flarth Day booths.
There were 6I.IKX) signatures col
lecled in Massachusetts alone,
rivalling only the slate of California
which amassed over 1 50.000 names.
Marly Aisenherg. Staff Director for
Clean Water Action, said ihat since
the launch of the campaign in March,
ihere has been both good news and
bad news for environmental protec-
tion efforts.
"The good news is Ihat more politi-
cians have begun lo vole against
these environmental rollbacks in the
face of mounting public upposilk>n,*
Aisenberg said. "The had news is that
the polluters' lobby continues lu
work overtime to push their special
interest agenda at the expense of
public health and the environment "
Kim Nelson. Canvass Dinxtor for
MASSPIRG. said that her organiza-
tion is slill hard al work on trying lo
turn the tide of republican congress'
apathy toward cnviionmental protec-
tion.
"Righl now. we're working on a
state wide rivers campaign to pass
the Rivers Protection Act. which is
pari of a national effort called Ihe
Free the Planet Campaign." Nelson
said.
The Free the Planet Campaign was
launched last February at a national
conference in Philadelphia, where
several UMass students were also in
attendance. It was called to meet the
brunt of the proposed congressional
roll hacks. Nelson described it as a
'national call luarms."
Senators fight roll backs
Nelson said Ihal Massachusetts
Senators |ohn Kerry and Edward
Kennedy are very involved in leading
the environmental fighl in the politi-
cal arena.
"Senators Kennedy and Kerry have
been good champions of the environ-
ment." Nelson said. "They have been
helpful in trying to stop the roll
backs."
|im Manley, a Washington
spokesperson for Kennedy's office,
said ihal Kennedy has always been an
advocate for environmental protec-
tion laws.
"Whenever Senator Kennedy goes
hack lo Massachusetts, he never says
that the water is too clean or the air
is too pure," Manley said. "There is a
margin of support for laws lo prulecl
air. food and water."
Manley said that Kennc-dy's record
is filled with cases where he has
fought for IxMler environmental pro-
Itxlion. He refemxl to the regulatory
bill authored by Sen. Robert Dole,
the Senate Majority Leader, and Sen.
Orrin Hatch, the Chairman of the
judiciary Committee, that did away
with the Delaney Clause that restricts
the amount of carcinogens in fresh
foods.
Kennedy fought against ihe provi-
sion in the judiciary commitiee and
because of his efforts, the regulatory
reform hill had lo be modified by
IXile and has been stalled in the sen-
ale since.
Likewise, Kerry is leading the
attack against t t legislative riders
ihat Congress has attached to the
current appropriations bill. These
provisions would eliminate environ-
mental protections provided in such
statutes as the Safe Drinking Water
Act and the Clean Air Act, according
lo Jennifer Miller, Slalehouse
spokesperson for Kerry,
"The central issue of this debate is
Ihe priority we place on protecting
our nation's vital natural resources
and the health of our citizens," Kerry
said, "Regrettably, Republicans do
not put as high a priority on the envi-
ronment as the American people do."
The VA-HUD Appropnalions Bill,
which will .set the EPA budget for the
fiscal year 199b, is on the fioor of the
Senate al press time. The bill threatens
to cut the EPA's budget by $17 bil-
lion. 23 peaenl below last year's level.
Sen. Kerry was schedulcxJ to speak
on the Senate fioor either yesterday
or today against the cuts to the
Environmental Protection Agency's
budget .

MASSPIRG plans to submit Ihc
petitions al a meeting in October.
They also plan to send copies of the
bill lo Congress, specifically to [>>lc
and House Speaker Newt Gingrich,
who Nelson said is the "driving force
behind most of the rollbacks "
Nelson said that the sicmatures are
important because they show what
the American people want, which is
strict environmental protection
"Everyone signed it because no one
wants lo see Ihe roll backs happen,*

Nelson urges students who want to
get involved to write or phone legisla-
tors to tell them not to support the

GLBT library expands
at the Stonewall Center
By Wendy Darfing
Collegian Staff
Before he became a Stonewall
Center staff member last spring.
Bill Hickman was unaware the cen-
ter had a lending library. Now he is
one of the people who helps run it.
"I didn't know that this place
existed before I was hired,"
Hickman noted in an interview
conducted al the Stonewall Center,
a gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgen-
der resource center at the
University of Massachusetts.
Little known even in the GLBT
community, the lending library has
a lot lo offer, including, according
to Hickman, "over I .«00" GLBT
books, magazines, newspapers,
and videotapes.
"Every year at the end of the fis-
cal year in |une, we purchase
books with any remaining money
thai we have." Hickman said. The
center also receives donations from
several publishing companies and
individuals.
This summer Flickman worked
to catalog mure than 3)0 new
books, including several titles for
the transgender section, an area he
said the Stonewall Center is work-
ing lo expand.
The Stonewall Center book-
shelves are divided into 36 other
sections, including reference, GLB
fiction, humor, poetry, biography,
parenting, feminism, social sci-
ences, humanities, mental health,
bisexualily, and AIDS, Ikxjks titles
range from Encyclopedia of
Homosexuality to And the Rand
Played On to Growing Up (Jay in
the South
"As far as I know, we're the only
queer library around here except
for the archives in Northampton,"
Hickman said.
The center's video selection
ranges from taped episodes of
"20/20" and "The Oprah Winfrey
Show' to the notorious antigay
video "The Gay Agenda." The cen-
ter also lends out feature films such
as The Crying Game, Maurice.

"How effective do you thuik the escort
service is?"
"I have never had any experience
with It, but I have a friend who had a
class in the Bluewall Cafe and they
couldn't find an escort to take her. So
1 ended up walking to the Campus
Center with her."
LEAH FISHLR

Portsmouth, R.I.
"It's effective when you have the
time to call and wait for tfiem but
it isn't wt>en you don't. It's not like
a taxi where you can just pick it
up."
Cheri Ehruch
junior, women's itudies/ painting
SuHem,N.y.
"I haven't really needed to use
the escort service in a while tnit the
tirrves I have it was relatively effec-
tive. However, the dispatchers tend
to be uncooperative when it contes
to last-minute requests."
HEIDI CLEASON
junior, psychology/ pre-education
Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.
"I'm a University tour guide, so I
think it's important because we
mention the escort service in our
package to assure parents and stu-
dents that this Is a safe campus. I
like the idea that you can get a
library shuttle or go by foot."
Winnie Thanc
senior, HRTA
Ontario, Canada
"I've never really had to use it. I
guess it could be because I'm a guy
and I'm not usually alone on cam-
pus at night.*
BEN ARNOT

'The only time I really heard
about It was during orientation

Democrats defend student loan programs
For many of today's best and brightest, to hear a
politician say that "young people are our future"
may seem like little more than a iinie-\*orn cliche.
But while the sentiment my not be new. it is becoming
increasingly true, and increasingly imponant — for rea-
sons that are much more than altruistic. In a global
economy. America depends more and more on
highly-skilled, highly-trained managers and workers. To
remain competitive, the workforce of the 21st Century
must be more productive, more innovative, and more
creative than at any time in our history. Without high-
quality education, and wide access to it. America simply
cannot reach its full potential.
That is why this fall's Congressional budget battle —
the first since the Republicans look control of both
Houses of Congress — is of pro- __^.___^^^_
found importance to every student in
America, and to the future of
America itself. To put it simply, the
Republicans have proposed deep
cuts in education — especially stu-
dent loan programs — that would
roll back decades of widening educa-
tional access and opportunity. These
cuts would make education more
expensive, more difficult to obtain,
and for millions of young people />^/7.,r/,/ hlillppt'^ To rcin
from middle and lower income fami- {^ "' '^"' ''""^*^' • lO rtlfl
lies, an unaffordable luxury when it in fedtTul Spending?
Why have the
Republicans singled
out education and stu
dent loans as they
sharpen their budget
axe? To balance the
shuuld be a simple necessity. In my
view, these cuts are not simply
wrung — they're outrageous.
Of course, the Republican drive
toward a balanced federal budget
will require deep cuts across the
board — and there are precious few
Americans w ho do not want to see a
smaller, leaner, more efficient feder-
al government Bui what few people
realize is that the Republican cuts in
ixiucalion. student, loans and train-
ing are about three times as great as their proposed cuts
in any other part of America's discretionary budget.
Totaling $>b billion, these cuts include the outright
elimination of the federal Department of Education. And
that's only the beginning.
In making cuts totaling $10.1 billion in the student
loan program, the Republicans are significantly increas-
ing the cost of student loans to students. Some estimates
indicate that the GOP plan may increase the cost of
these loans by as much as S2.000 per undergraduate,
and between Sb.OOO and S58.tX)0 per graduate student.
It does not take a math major to realize that manv smart,
hard-working young f)eople will simply be priced out of
an education, or at the very least forced to attend a less
expensive community college. Hundreds of thousands of
students would lose Direct Student Loans. Pell Grants,
and Stale Student Incentive Grants, making the dream

of a college education a mirage for many people from
less privileged families.
Why have the Republicans singled out education and
student loans as they sharpen their budget axe? To bal-
ance Ihe federal budget'.' To rein in federal spending'.'
Perhaps to fund some other, more crucial national prior-
ity?
In fact, none of the above. These cuts coincide with a
massive Republican lax cut. aimed at the wealthiest
Americans. While you could be shut out of a college
education altogether, the richest I.I million Americans
would reap a $20,000 tax windfall every year. According
to the Republican trickle-down philosophy, this is some-
how supposed to make us all better off. Never mind thai
during the 1980s, the last time we tried this
trickle-down approach, the gap
between the rich and the poor
widened dramatically, the national
debt swelled, and America's econom-
ic competitiveness stumbled.
In an economy that is desperately
in need of well-educated people,
these cuts in education are clearly
bad public policy and a drain on
America's competitiveness. In a
nation that has always prided itself
on providing every child with the
opportunity to rise as high as their
talents can carry them, the
Republican assault on education is a
repudiation of everything America
stands for.
How can we even consider slash-
ing funds for students before paring
back every inch of waste and
bureaucracy in our government?
How can we even fathom these deep
education cuts — far out of propor-
tion to almost all other budget cuts
— at a time when the Republicans
want to actually increase defense
spending? And how dare the Republicans propose these
education cuts at the same time that they're doling out
huge tax breaks for the most privileged citizens and cor-
porations?
My fear is that if we allow these Republican proposals
to become law — if we roll back the broad educational
opportunities that enabled me to attend college and law
school in the '60s. and enable ik) many millions of young
people to obtain gciod educations today — the damage
may be impossible to undo. We cannot afford to lose a
generation of well-trained and well-skilled workers. We
cannot afford to waste the potential of millions of talent-
ed young people. In my view, this is a lesson
Congressional Republicans must learn in the weeks
ahead, and it is one we all have an obligation to help
teach them.

Evan
Young
Here's a statistic for you: If you live to be 90
years old. sleeping eight hours a day. then you
would have slept for a total of 30 years of your
life. 50 years! II that isn't a downer, then I honestly
don't know what is. Imagine doing absolutely nothing
for JO years except lying in bed?
Silting here and thinking about this has led me to
some scary conclusions about life What will I spend
my life doing? Most of it. in the end. will have been
spent either sleeping, eating, showering, going to the
bathroom, or other necessary things. How much time
does that actually leave for living? How much time will
I have spent either in school, studying for school, or
doing something in some way connected with educa-
tion? If I have spent eight hours a day
on school-type stuff for nine months
out of the year for the past 15 years.
That means that I have spent 2l.b00
hours (not including weekends) gaining
knowledge.
So I should know just about everything by now,
right' Ha ha. It seems like I know less than nothing.
So why am 1 even bothering with education? All of
those hours could have been spent more resourcefully,
it seems to me. Granted. I have been just a child for
most of the time, but it still makes the education sys-
tem look a little pointless.
How about this next statistic, speaking of pointless:
If you work eighl hours a day. fiw days a week, from
when you are 25 to when you ictirc (say about b5),
you will have spent a total of 8). 200 hours at the job.
It's a damn good thing that you went through these
previous 21 .bOO hours of training for it already, or else
it would all be pretty much worthless, huh?
Because when )ou really lake a look at it. all college
is good lor is to make yourself look good on paper.
You go to UMass for four years, they hand you a
resume when you graduate, and you either show that
to a grad school, who then shows it to a company who
shows it lo the bolloni of the trash can. or you show it
to Ihe company right away (skipping grad school) and
they show it to the trash. How manv of us are truly
here to learn? How often do you hear people say
"danin. niv classes really suck this scmesler." I say it all
the (imc. and I hear it all the time.
Bui aren't we here to learn? Did someone forget to
tell us that along the way? I'd like lo think I'm gelling
more oul ol school than just a diploma, but I'm not so
sure if that's the truth. But even if it were, it just leads
me lo my next question.
How much good is mounds and mounds of memo-
rization and applied learning and logic and science
going to do me when I am. one inevitable day, resting
on my death bed? Will I look back at my life and say,
"Boy, now that I'll be dead soon, I sure am glad I spent
25 years of my life going to school, because knowing
the lile cycle of the E. Coli is important. I'm even more
glad I had a job that paid a lot because money is doing
me lots of good right now."?
The truth is, sometimes I can't help but to sit back
and think I'm wasting my time, simply flushing it down
the toilet. The clock never stops ticking, and here I am
going to school, so I can get a decent job, so I can
make lots of money, so I can spend it all on material
things that will look nice on the mantle above ihe fire-
place, but have absolutely no meaning. Here I am
wasting the time away, and when I die. I will be thor-
oughly unsatisfied because there will be things left to
experience that I will never get the chance to do.
Rut all of this is not an original idea straight from
the mind of one. Evan Young. All of this
has been said already, throughout the
history of man. Everyone has. at one
point, wondered just what the point of
it all is. Do we need to be reminded
again here on the Editorial/Opinion
page of the Collegian? Are we ail that pathetic? Are we
all so trapped within this vicious cycle of American life
we cannot break out of the mold that society has creat-
ed? Arc we that easily manipulated by the system? It
seems as if we arc because we all continue to spend
our time doing stupid, pointless things.
So why was man put on this earth? We are given
such a short time to actually get the most oul of life,
and some of the ridiculous things we do every day
seem even more ridiculous when you think of how
much time is wasted on them. How many hours will
have been spent brushing my teeth everyday by the
time I am dead? Thank God we have nothing to eat
except mushy processed crap, or else we wouldn't have
to brush our teeth all the time.
I guess I could say it is a blessing I don't have too
much sex. or else imagine all the time that would have
been wasted on that ... well, I won't go that far.
I guess what I'm trying to say is this: At certain
times in life, there are some things that just have to
be done. If your friend says. "Let's get Ihe car and
drive to Montana right now." say yes. What is tying
you down? Life is just too short to worry about petty
things.
Ultimately, happiness is the most important thing. If
filling your house with ridiculous junk bought with
money you've earned working a crappy job you got
because you went to school and learned nothing, then
so be it. There is more to life than what we are experi-
encing here at UMass. and what this university is
preparing us for. There is always more lo be gotten out
of life, and if you don't feel you are getting enough of
it. then drop everything and go have a blast.
Personally, I've wasted too much time on this article
already.

A blessed messy event
Birth is pretty messy. I figured
that out the other day at four
o'clock in the morning as I sat
fixed on a pig's vulva. I expected to
feel this overwhelming sense of the
joy of life, the miracle of birth, nah.
What that pig needed was some gocxi
old fashioned drugs.
For two years I've been screaming
at my roommate that I wanted to see
some animal born — she works at
the Livestock Barn, hence the fasci-
nation. Finally, my opportunity
arrived, the pig's teets were milking,
and she was ready to go.
We sat down at the bam for a cou-
ple of hours only to see nothing but
the occasional flatulence. So we
decided to go get a beer. I would
change into some barn- appropriate
attire, and then we would return to
the bles.scd event.
At four o'clock in the morning I
had enough of waiting for the pig to
"ftnow." Yel. I was at home in bed
cointing sheep when I faintly heard
I ^T phone ring, the answering
machine pick up and my roommate's
voice saying. "Tara she just had one.
but I need your help. Pick up. I'm
going to keep calling back."
Five minutes later I was out the
door in the car with a screaming
piglet in my lap. "Oh loanne. it's so
cute and clean looking, but what's
that pink thing hanging?" I inquired
"That's the umbilical cord. 'Tara."
loanne offered (Guess I won't be
wearing that sweatshirt anvTnoa-.).
Several traffic violations later we
were silting in from of the sow's
vulva again. I decided to be inquisi-
tive. "She's supposed to have one
every li minutes right^ Hasn't it
been a while?" loanne replied calmly.
"Yeah. I think I'm going lo have to
go get it. Do you want to do it — you
/ don 't think I
planned on doing it,
but I scrubbed up like
Marcus Welby Ml),
anyway (Needless to
say I let her have the
honor. ). She stuck her
hand up there with
authority and the sow
let out a blood curdling
scream.
Tara Ruelle
have smaller anus?"
I don't think I planned on doing it.
but I scrubbed up like Marcus Welby
MD anyway (Needless to say I let her
have the honor). She stuck her hand
up there with authority and the sow
let out a bicxxl curdling scream.
Another piglet dropped. The sow-
did not locik (he least bit impressed.
"Okay Tara. now take the cord and
dip it in this so it' will shrivel up and
fall off,* loanne instructed. Again. I
let her take all the glory. Finally, she
moved the piglets over to the sow. so
they could cat.
loanne thought she would show
the piglets to the mom so she'd sc*c
what was making noise inside her
crate. I thought the pig would imme-
diately take to the piglets, like in all
of the cartoons. Instead, the sow
opened her mouth about the size of
my head and barked at the newborns.
Well, at that point I had seen
enough of the joy of life. Aside from
the cute factor of the piglets. I didn't
know what to think. I didn't feel
weepy like I thought, and I didn't
think it was so miraculous. The
whole thing was over my head. I felt
lor the sow. though, who after a year
is sexually mature and ready to breed
(I cannot imagine having 12 kids
every year, not to mention the occa-
sional human hand that arrives lo
rescue something you can make 1 1
more of in a heartbeat).
I was very impressed with my
roommate's vast knowledge of the
animals and the compassion she feels
for them. I really don't know many
people who could throw on a plastic
glove and some lube lo rescue a pig.
I'm glad I got to sc-e something be
bom into the world. I'm not sure that
I was prepared for the reality of it all.
but it was worth the sacrificed sleep. I
just don't know if I'd go hog wild over
the idea of having kids any time soon.

Taking a drink from the reflecting pool
Somebody once told me I wouldn't recognize myself
in four years. I believe them. I know I believe them
because I remember the way I was four years ago. a
stupid, wise-ass kid in high school with no clue as to
what life was really all about. It is quite clear lo me that
I'm much different now Now I'm a wise-ass ui//i a clue
I look back on my life so far and realize all that I would
liked lo have done. I think about all the things I should or
shouldn't have said. I wish I could have told myself then
all that I know now (Even if I could talk to that kid. he
wouldn't listen to me. He doesn't
need any advice, he thinks he knows
it all already.).
I really did think I knew it all in
high school. I thought I knew more
and understood better than my par-
ents. At least I thought I did. Now as
each day passes I realize all the more
that my parents were the ones with
the greater understanding of life. I
wonder how I ever could have been
so fo<.)lish to think I knew more than
mom and dad. That's just it. I was a
fool.
The important thing is I now real-
ize I was wrong. I now believe my
parents know everything, which I'm
sure they don't, but they certainly
know a lot more than me. What's
even more important is that every so
often they share a little bit of that
knowledge with me. Usually right
around the time I'm screwing some-
thing up is when I receive a lesson in
life from my parents. I might not know it right away, but
in time I'll realize I just learned something new.
I was fortunate enough to have been raised in a large
family, having four brothers and two sisters. (What's thai
you say? Irish Catholic? Yup.) I say fortunate because I
realize I'm the way I am because of all of their infiucnces
on me. I'm kind of like a human mult I guess. I have a lit-
tle characteristic of each of my siblings.
/ really did think I
knew it all in high
school. I thought I
knew more and under-
stood better than my
parents. At least I
thought I did. Now as
each day passes ! real-
ize all the more that my
parents were the ones
with the greater under-
standing of life.
Andrew Trodden
As luck would have it. I was the youngest of the bunch.
I cannot think of a better way lo grow up than with the
influences of six older, more intelligent people bombard-
ing you from all sides. ,My parents certainly taught me
well, but I think my brothers and sisters have taught me
more of life's lessons. Something they didn't even know
they were doing.
A wise man once said. " ..learn from the mistakes of
others, you can't live long enough lo make them all your-
self." Well that's what I have done. For years I watchc-d my
brothers and sisters all m»ke their
share of mistakes only to get right back
on the horse. I leamc-d a little bit from
each of their mistakes, as well I'm sure
they did loo. I'm not saying I never
made mistakes of my own. I. as sure as
the rain, did. But I didn't have to make
any of the same mistakes they made,
and for that I am truly fortunate.
My brothers and sisters are all
older now. as am I. and we all basical-
ly live in different places. But not a
day goes by I don't think about life
when we were all under the same
roof. Everything just seemed a lot eas-
ier then. Maybe that's because the last
time we all lived together I was eight
years old. Or maybe it's because the
life we all shared did really make
things easier.
1 look back on that part of my life
as being some of the happiest times
ever, and I'd like lo believe someday I
can be that happy again. I don't know
if there's even a remote possibility of that ever happening.
Maybe by realizing that. I have taught myself something
without any help.
I can only imagine what I will be like in four years. But
when I think about what my parents taught me. and what
I have learned from my family. I realize I've got nothing to
worry about. I'll turn out just fine.

FABULOUS mUNDeKBKDS
Roll of ihe Dice
Privote Music
The Fabulous Thunderbirds have once again taken
flight and are looking to reach new heights with their
album. Roll of the Dice It seems hard to believe that
it has been almost ten years since the
T-Birds reached what seemed like the
pinnacle of their career as a band with
their breakthrough album Tuff
Enough, featuring such popular sin
gles as "Wrap It Up" and the title
track. Their follow-up albums
faltered and were unable to sus-
tain the past success.
Roll of the Dice marks a new
beginning of sorts for the band
as it is their premiere on Private
Music. This is their second album
since the departure of founding mem-
ber limmie Vaughan. His current replace
ment comes in the form of Kid Ramos, a guitar
slinging blues man who caught singer Kim Wilson's ear at
a recent gig. With the revamped lineup completed, "every-
thing clicked" claimed Wilson.
The title track to Roll of the Dice kicks off the album
and carves a deep bluesy groove for the rest of the album
to slither through. Wilson and Ramos establish an early
rapport evident from the way in which Wilson's harmoni-
ca and Ramos' guitar interweave and complement one
another on tracks like "How Do I Get You Back' and the
Cajun flavored. "Do As I Say.'
'The two traditional ballads on the album. "Memory
From Heir and "I Don't Want To Be the One" show a
more sensitive side to the band that is reflected through
Wilson's evocative lyrics and mournful harmonica play-
ing. Traditional rockers like "Lookin' Forward To Lookin'
Back" and "1 Can't Win" are minced throughout the
album to retain the classic T-Birds sound.
Roll of the Dice is a groove oriented album filled
with plenty of catchy riffs that will leave you
humming in your sleep. Fans of John Popper
of Blues Traveller might also want to take
note that Wilson's harmonica playing is
among the greatest around. The late, great
Muddy Waters has likened him to blues
harp god Little Walter. Not a recom-
inendaiion to take lightly, folks.
Venture a listen and hear what
Muddy was talking about. B

JIMMY SOMMEKVKIE
Dare To Love
London Records
In 1984, a 22 year old Scotsman named
limmy Sommerville broke into the British top 40
with his band Bronski Beat. Their hit "Smalltown Boy"
was one of a cavalcade of synthesizer-driven dance songs
that dominated the airwaves in that decade — but with a
difference.
Sommerville was using his trademark falsetto and
disco- drenched musical sensibilities to comment on the
intolerance and hatred directed at homosexuals in
Thatcher's England. "Smalltown Boy' became the first
mainstream pop smash to truly explore these issues, and
made Sommerville that rarest of entities — a pop star
with both an oven political agenda and a chart-friendly,
aggressively commercial sound.
couitiiv mmiA SMiNCytfiN
The Fabulous Thunderbirds make the grade with their latest release.
Flash forward 1 1 years: Sommerville had become a suc-
cessful solo artist and recently released a new album. Dare
To Loye. Happily the singer shows no sings of mellowing
with age — iiideed delivering some of his funkiest, most
exhilarating pop melodies ever, accompanied by some of
his most impassioned and painfully honest Ivrics.
Sommerville wastes no time thrusting his audience into
his unique mix of outspoken gay pride and mainstream
pop. The album's second track. "Hurts So Gsxxi." can be
taken as a "wink- wink, nudge-nudgc" metaph(.ir for gay
sex Over a pulsating reggae beat, limmy assures his lover
that ever- present theme of AIDS, fatalistically proclaim
ing. 'Even though sometimes, it's hard lor me to bear .1
make myself hold on. "cuz if it kills me. I don't carv."
The centerpiece of the album, however must be the
album's title track. A jazzy number that chronicles the tale
of a gay man sent to prison for his allair with a yciunger
lover, is a seething indictment of the F'nglish Age of
Consent Law. which forbids homosexual relations for any-
one under the age of 18.
Dare To Love delivers on many levels: as a prime
danceable pop. as an exhibition of a tremendous voice,
and as an exceptionally literate and dignified soldier for
gay rights While these somewhat disparate elements have
combined to make Sommerville a singular star in his
iiative land, it remains to be seen whether, in this land of
rigid categorization of artists and strictly segregated radio
formats, a talent like his can rise to the top. A (losh

That is the problem with "Weird Out." the album's first
single, is that is a great song for a while, but no longer
enjoyable after a few listens.
One of Dandelion's big problems is that they do not
sound like their own band. Instant images of Nirvana. 1.7

arises. Sure, anyone can have a hit, but does that make

Ironside joins cast of 'seaQuest 2032'
By Scott Wilbams
Associated Press
NEW YORK — When the producers of NBC's
"seaQuest DSV " asked Michael Ironside to take command
of their troubled submarine, the rugged, crag-faced
Catiadian actor turned them down flat.
"I saw so many problems that I couldn't sec where I'd be
able to do the work thit I wanted to do." Ironside recalled,
lighting up one in a series of filler cigarettes that braze his
baritone.
The work is important to him. When he wrapped up last
season on "ER" as trauma chief Dr. William Swift, he'd
provided an authority figure who was almost parental to
the younger doctors.
"I ended up playing a version of my father." Ironside
said. My sister busied me on the stxond show. She called
mc up and said. 'You're plavnng Dad!' 1 said. Yeah! Docs
he know'*' She said. 'No, he's watching hockey.' "
Still. Ironside felt it was time to move on. "I wasn't inter-
i-sled in hanging around, being a service character to other
people's story lines and getting something I could sink my
tceih into every ten shows." he said.
"ER." like "seaQuest DSV." is a big, expensive, ambi-
tious program produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblin
Entenainment. Unlike the hit "ER." the 2 1st century under-
water adventure was in deep trouble.
Conceived as Sunday night family fare. "seaOuest" fea-
tured a talking dolphin (Ens. Darwin), a demographically
correct cast and the neato-keenest submarine since "Voyage
to the Bottom of the Sea "
It turned out to be a poorly focused kiddie show. Things
got so had last season for the typographically challenged
"Dc-cp-Submergence Vehicle" that the producers shied it
acioss interstellar space to fight a civil war on an alien,
watery world.
Ironside, beloved of science-fiction fans for performances
in "V," "Scanners" and Total Recall, told the producers he
wanted no part of it. Then he got his first surprise:
"My attitude was, basically, crash the ship, kill half the
crew and start over," he said. "They, basically, looked at me
and said. 'What else?' '
Plenty, it turned out. Ironside had read classic science
fiction since boyhood, everything from Bradbury's "Martian
Chronicles" to Van Vogt's "Slan," and had acted in dozens
of science fiction projects. He knew the rules.
"Take Blade Runner, for example." he said. "Science fic-
tion In that sense is where you have all the technology, all
the possibilities of communication, yet it showcases the iso-
lation and the loneliness of the human animal. That's
what's neat about it. it's just another pla e to put a morali-
ty play."
"If you don't set the rules, there's no structure to tell
your story in," Ironside said. "I wanted a very structured
world. Whether it's a structure that's falling apart or not. I
want to know that."
The surface world of "seaQuest" and 2022 looked vague-
ly like upper middle-class West Palm Beach, he said. "It's
arrogant to think the world is going to be in that kind of
balance." he said, "and I think it's arrogant to go arourtd
saving the whales in a 47minute TV format."
Ironside also suggested a "corporate reality," where
multinationals are even more influential, aggressive and
imperialistic than some nations.
The producers kept nodding their heads.
And what about that demographically correct crew?
"The crew of seaQuest over those two seasons looked
like they were all on Valium." he said. "I've never been in a
work environment, artificial or real, where the people have
had that much empathy for each other.
"The idea of drama is to have confiictl"
After a couple of weeks of talks. Ironside agreed to play
Capt. Oliver Hudson, a caa-er Navy man. who last week
succeeded Capt. Nathan Hale Bridger (Roy Schneider) as
CO of seaQuc"st on its new. military mission.
"1 want to have an adversary relationship with member*
of that crew and with characters in the stories, and as one
gets resolved I want to move to the next." Ironside said.
"The cast is not etched in stone. Characters are going to
die this year," Ironside said. "There aa' a couple of people
on whom the show is really dependent ... but the rest are
up for grabs as the storv lines dictate."
The new show is tilled "seaOuest 2052." and has a new
theme song. Last week's season prc-micre wrapped up some
extremely loose ends from last season.
Ironside asks only thai you watch the show for a couple
of weeks belorc you criticize the direction it's taking.
"'t'ou won't see me fighting any man-eating glow-worms,
rubber plants. 40-foot crocodiles and I don't talk to
Darwin." he said.
Gee, Skipper, what have you got against a talking dol-
phin?
'I'm not interested in a relationship with Darwin," he
said, lifting an eyebrow. "Animals don't lie. They don't
have points of view. If I have an adversary relationship with
Darwin, I'm a bully."

to the album one finds that indus-
try connections can help a lot.
This album isn't as bad as you
might think. The duo. like their
fans, have grown and matured.
This new album contains more
folk-tinged rock than their soirees
into the realm of glam rock in the
eighties. It must be added that the
folk influence is more in the vain of
The Eagles than of Bob Dylan for
instance.
The Nelson brothers take on a
slight twang and experiment with a
peddle steel guitar on the
country-tinged "Cross My Broken
Heart." Their old fans won't be dis-
appointed with "Won't Walk
Away." which is a throw back to
the hard-pop of the eighties. It
might seem odd but one of the
later tracks, "Nobody Wins In The
End," has seemingly Freddie
Mcrcury-es<juc vocals.
The real weak point of the album
is the lyrics. Nelson seems to be

DISH
Boneyard Beach
Interscope/Allantic
One might think that alter hear-
ing Dish's lead vocalist. Dana
Kletter. that they were in for a mel-
low, down to earth ride but
Boneyard Reach is hardly a laid
back affair. Kletter offers up a
voice that is another example of the
resurgence of female rock singers
in today's music.
Unfortunately the band's weak
lyrics take away from Kletter's
powerful voice. Dealing mostly in
abstractions and fractions of
thoughts, the bands's lyrics arc
poetic but so incoherent that you
can easily lose interest in some of
the tunes.
Musically, Dish fairs better as
ihey bring a unique blend of R&B,
pop, and southern rock with a
twist of more modem rock. Some
highlights include a Russian waltz
including, "Okinokaya Garmon
(The Lonely Accordian)" and an
unlisted cover of Bob Dylan's
"Tears of Rage."
If you're looking for something
different, Boneyard Beach could be
for you. Songs such as "Other
Moon" with hints of good, frcefall
jamming can tease you when sur-
rounded by long abstract
metaphors.
Dish don't stand out as one of
the year's most promising bands,
but they have the potential to grab
you and take you in. B (leremy

her lost lover. Abandoned and hurt, Bella seeks
revenge and finds instead, the Wainwright family and
its three sons.
Seducing each in turn, the novel climaxes during a

Dude of Life to appear at the Iron Horse
By Mike Burke
Collegion Staff
Who else would perform on stage in a full scuba outfit
or for that matter name himself the Dude of Life? Well
obviously, the individual marches to his own drummer
and that is just why Phish fans fiock to see the Dude per
form live.
Based out of New York City, the Dude of Life has for
years been recording songs, but so far has only released
one album. The record. Crimes of the Mind, was recorded
with his friends. Phish, in 1991 but wasn't released until
last year.
Featured on the album are many bizarre tales sung by
the Dude himself. On "TV Song" he sings "Life is a TV
show/ That should've bcx-n cancelled long ago." His influ-
ences include the Beatles, jimi Hendrix. and Led
Zeppelin.
Over ten years ago, while still in high school, the Dude
of Life formed Space Antelope with Trey Anastasio of
Phish. The band came to an end when Anastasio left for
college to form Phish. but Anastasio never forgot his
childhood friend.
Since then the Dude of Life has been forever reappear
ing on Phish records and at shows. Way back at Phish's
first gig at Nectar's in Burlington, the Dude jumped on
stage like a wild man. He has hardly refrained himself
since then.
Perhaps the Dude's most valid claim to fame is thiit he
has written several of Phish's most prized tunes, mclud-
ing. "Dinner and a Movie," '"Fluffhead." and 'Run Like
.An Antelope."
The Dude of Life has also gained fame in the Phish
world by often making more guest appearances at their
live shows. Phish drummer, jon "Creasy Fizeek" Fishman
describes the Dude's effect on the audience, "It's great
when he shows up. The crowd leaps to their feet in antici-
pation, and well they should. The only problem is. they
don't know whether to flee to safety or to rush the stage.
So they just stand in the same place."
I hardly doubt the crowd will be standing in place when
the Dude lakes the stage tomorrow night.
The Dude of Life uill appear at the Iron Horse Music
Hall in Northampton on Thursday night. There uill he
two shows, at 7:00 p.m. and 10:00 p m. Tukels are $8. 50
and available in advance at the Sorthamplon Box Office

"Moving Streya not only helped our team, but it has
helped her also." Donnelly said. "She can take the ball
and attack. She is not afraid to take the ball to the 25
(yard line] and rip a shot."
The Lady Huskies enter the contest with a record of
5-2. They have two common opponents with the
Minutewomen in Old Dominion, who defeated both
clubs, and Boston College, who was handed losses by
both teams.
Northeastern will be led by senior midfielder Denisc
Nasca. who has tallied five goals to go along with thrtv
assists this season. The Lady Huskies' biggest scoring
threat comes in the form of Ken Betlenhauser. a sopho-
more forward who already has nine goals this year.
UMass looked shaky in the eariy going this year, falling
to teams such as North Carolina. Old Dominion.
Maryland. New Hampshire and Yale.
"You can rationalize the losses to UNC and Old
Dominion, but there is just no rationalizing losing to
Yale." Donnelly said.
Despite the slow start to their season. UMass knows
there is still a long way to go.
"The way the teams are falling into place, we still have
a good chance |of making the NCAA tournament 1."
Donnelly said.
After the battle at Parson's Field in Boston, the squad
will travel to UConn this weekend for a much anticipated
rematch with the Lady Monarchs of Old Dominion.
However. UMass knows they can't afford to look ahead.
"We have to focus on one gante at a time, and if we are
able to do that, when November comes around, we'll be
in a good spot.'

"I think we played very good

Northeastern wasn't quite as good a
team as we've been used to playing,
but it's important we were able to
stay at our own level. I'm glad we
won and that I was able to set and
play more."
The Minutewomen will resume

>.in the field.
His teams have faced tragedy on the field in terms of
record this season, but more notably off the field in recent
years.
Mike Utley's paralysis suffered in a game against the
Los Angeles Rams four years ago and the death of Fontes'
brother and Lions' offensive co-ordinator at the begin-
ning of the 1992 season brought the team together and
the tie that binds players and head coach got stronger.
When the inedia was out to get their coach, they stood
up and took action. Scott Mitchell, the much inaligned
quarterback who has underachieved since being signed as
a free agent two years ago had a standout periormance.
Brett Perriman caught nine of Mitchell's for 115 yards as
the Lions leading rcveiver on the evening.
Their patchwork defense made several key plavs that
kept the 49ers from getting down field quickly and subse-
quently held off the most feared offense in the league, pre-
serving the win.
If they could only play every game that way.
• I used to often wonder if NFL coaches watch college
football on Saturday. Alter this weekend. I would have to
say they do. With the recent rash of high scoring/run up
the score games in the college ranks, the pros tolkiwed
suit this past weekend, tight of the 12 games this week-
end had at least 5U points scored total to surpass the com-
bined amount for the first Ihrtx- weeks.
• During the off-season, the Patriots chose not to
re-sign free agent wide receiver Michael Timpson. Going
into this weekend. Timpson has more touchdown catches
than the entire Patriots team.

Zolak to start for Patriots
Bledsoe is sidicXimd. \A)ii\\ third degree separated shoulder
FO.XBORO (AP) — Quarterback Drew Bledsoe,
who has had a slow start to the 1995 season, will miss
the New England Patriots' game in Atlanta bcxause of
the left shoulder he separated Sept. 17 in San
Francisco.
Coach Bill Parcells said Tuesday that backup .Scott
Zolak is preparing to replace Bledsoe.
"I think we'll have to do the best we can." Parcells
said. "In this case, we've had some extra days of
preparation for Scott, and that should be giKxl lor him
It should give him the best chance to function well."
It will be Zolak's first start for the Patriots since
Dcx. 1 5. 1992. at Kansas City.
"I feel I'm ready to go. and I'll do everything extra
that I have to do this week to get to the stage where a
starter needs to be." said Zolak. in his fifth NFL sea-
.son. "I've been waiting three years since I've played,
the time is here, it's my chance and I just have to be
ready."
Bledsoe did not practice last week, and went to
Binningham. Ala., on Monday to be examined by Dr.
lames Andrews, a noted orthopedic specialist.
Andrews' recommendation was that Bledsoe nut play
against the Falcons.
"He. like any other player, is entitled to a second
opinion," said Parcells.
There have been conflicting reports over the severity
of Bledsoe's injury, and Parcells did little to dispel the
confusion Tuesday.
"He has a separated shoulder." Parcells said. "That's
all I'm going to discuss. I'm not a dcKtor. He's much
unproved, but he's going to have to practice efficiently
at some point in time before I play him
"People get hurt." Parcells addixl "This is not a sea
son-ending injury. •fortunately. Drew will be back with
us. so in the meantime, you've got to hold the fort, and
that's the way it is*
Bledsoe did not have a touchdown pass in the
Patriots' first three games
Zolak said he has no delusions about what his role
will be once Bledsoe is healthy again.
"You have to accept what's been handed to you." he
said. "It's a situation where I think you need two giKKl
quarterbacks to get through the season I'm just the
guy filling in right now until his shoulder gets healthy I
don't think there's any competition out there . he's
the man. it's his team."
Zolak started four games in 1992. Dick
MacPherson's second and last season as head coach,
following injuries to starter Hugh Millen and backup
Tom Hodson. He completed 52 of ItX.) passes for 5t)l
yards, including two touchdowns and four intercep-
tions, and led the Patriots to their only two victories of
the season before suffering a sprained ankle in his
fourth start.
In the past two seasons, he has completed five passes
in 10 attempts for 2K yards. He played one full series
against the 49ers following Bledsoe's injury
"It's a very important game lor me. there's no ques-
tion about that." Zolak said "I'm taking it very serious-
ly and I'm working to win this game. Who knows how
many weeks I might have to play .1 don't know how
everything's going to develi>p with the shoulder, and I
went through this thrcv years ago."
"This is an opportunity for him,' Parcells said of
Zolak "He hasn't had one in a while, and I'm sure he'll
do the best he can I know he's going to be very consci-
entious in his preparation and he'll do what we ask him
lo do Hopefully, everyone can kind of rally around
him and help him get going, including me "
lay Barker, a rookie from Alabama, is on the
team's practice squad hut Parcells said he has not yet
determined who will back up Zolak for the Falcons

"I know what it's like to be on that side over there
where you can't do anything right." Martinez said.
"Nothing seems to be going right. The pitching doesn't go
right, you can't get any hitting and you're making errors."
Buhner hit his 5Hth homer and club-record 12th of the

Volleyball bounces back as they blank NU
By Steven Grant
Collegian Staff
Noi only did this one prove to be one of the easiest
matches of the season for the Massachusetts volleyball
team, but it probably couldn't have come at a better time.
Coming off an upset loss to Duquesne last Saturday,
where their record dropped close to the .500 mark at 7-b,
the Minutewomen. without .standout Giza Rivera, breezed
b> the overwhelmed Northeastern Lady Huskies last night
at Curry Hicks Cage, three games to none.
The victory follows an unusual trend, as UMass' last
five wins have come via the sweep, as have six of the
squad's seven wins on the season.
"\Vc might have needed a match like this." UMass
coach Bonnie Kenny said. "We came off a pretty tough
match against Duquesne. so it was good to do what we
wanted here tonight. It was good to get everybody in to
play Everyone contributed tonight."
In the first game, sophomore Lesley Nolan led the way
for the Minutewomen. registering six kills. The outside
hitter also managed three digs and a block in the opener.
Nolan would go on to lead the team in kills and digs for
the entire match, with 14 and 12. respectively.
Freshman middle bloeker/outside hitler Leslie Hartlen
also performed well in game one. totalling four kills and
two digs, en ruute to a dominating 1 5-4 UMass win.
"We hit the ball pretty well there in that first game,"
Kenny said. "Lesley played well, and Leslie Hartlen had
some nice service aces."
In particular. Kenny pointed to freshman setter Katie
Pearce and junior outside hitter Susan Maga as having
quality perfonnanccs for the match as a whole.
'I also think Katie did a great job tonight. She got some
great experience. She distributed the ball offensively, and
spread the ball around a little bit. I'm really happy with
the way Susan played, as well."
In the second game, the Minutewomen jumped to a big
lead once again, but n'.arly let it slip a way. UMass began
making mistake>, and their lead suddenly dropped to one
point, at IO-*i.
But after being reminded of the score from the bench
by Kenny, UMass woke up. and reeled off five straight
points to take the second game. 1 5-9.
"We played flat |in game two) once we knew it wasn't
close." Kenny said. "But we were able to step it up when
wc had to."
A few heads turned at the beginning of game three,

would have none of that, and went on a run where they

and hence the match. 5-0.
Although Northeastern was not of the same caliber of a
typical .Atlantic 10 team (i.e., Duquesne), the win was an
impcirtant one for UMass confidence-wise, in terms of
getting evervone playing on the same page.
'I think we played a lot better as a team." Maga said. "I
think we ran our offense very well. But I think the fact
that we dominated at the net was a very important factor
"I think we were frustrated playing Duquesne. It
seemed like we were playing like a bunch of individuals.
Tonight we cut down on our errors and played better as a
team."
'Players CoacW has his
troops rally behind him
When a coach is on the hot seat in the NFL, there
are two things that can nappcn: the team will either
continue its' play as it has been doing or respond in
support of the coach.
Detroit Lions' head coach Wayne Pontes has
been on the hot seat it seems since he was first
hired in December of 1988. It is now seven seasons
later and Fontes is still around with controversy still
surrounding ihc southeastern Massachusetts native.
Through the first
three weeks of this
season, the Lions
appeared listless
and got off to an
0-5 start losing at
Pittsburgh 25-20 in
overtime, at
Minnesota 51-17
and at home to Arizona 20-17. The Media and fans
were calling for Fontes' head. It had gotten so bad
that a fan brought a banner to Tiger Stadium that
read. "Fire Wayne!"
The week leading up to Monday night's game
with the 49ers, a game they were suppose to lose
badly, was the calling card for his dismissal from his
post, Detroit has a bye week following the San
Francisco game, a perfect time to get someone new
running the team and only four weeks in a chance
to turn around a season.
But wail, they still hadn't played the game with
the 49ers yet. Since Fontes has been at the helm of
the Lions' ship, when his teams have played against
reigning Super Bowl Champions, they were an
astoundmg 4-1.
They improved on that Monday night.
When Doug Bricn's 40 yard field goal attempt hit
the goal post and bounced away, not only had the
Lions won their first game of the year, but they had
saved Fontes' job for a little longer.
Why is it that the Detroit Lions could not beat
teams that have a combined record of 2-7, (not
counting the games with the Lions) but can beat the
team argued to be the best in the league? It can be
best explained by the way the players look upon
their coach.
Fontes has now been on the sidelines as head
coach for more games than any other in Detroit his-
tory and if he can win three more games with the
team he will surpass George Wilson as the win-
ningesl coach ever for the Lions.
You hear the term, "Player's coach" often in Ihc
world of sports, but unless you have played under
one. you may not fully appreciate what that title
stands for and the love the players under that par-
ticular have lor him.
II the term players coach was in an encyclopedia,
in the definition somewhere would be a reference to
tonics. He is an emotional man and is free to let his
feelings be known for the world to sec.
He goes to the wall for his players, making sure
ihey are always treated fairiy and given the proper

Minutewomen Dionne Nash (10) and Michelle Paciorek go for a block during last night's
3-0 victory over Northeastern.
HARTFORD — This one hurt.
Despite some valiant efforts,
the Massachusetts men's soccer
team fell to the Hartford Hawks
last night on a damp Al Marzook
field.
By the 15:45
mark, UMass had
surrendered two
goals and lost a pair
of key players, as the Hawks took
command of the match early.
The Minutemen outplayed
Hartford for most of the final
76-plus minutes, but the lead held
up as UMass fell to b-5-l on the
season.
"Sometimes things just don't
go your way," Massachusetts
coach Sam Koch said. "I think we
were certainly ready to play. We
played very well al limes and put
them under pressure, we con-
trolled a lot of the game but they
finished their chances and we
didn't."
Hartford stormed out of the
gale and scored on their fourth
shot as ihey scored just 2:58 into
the match. Frank Naiale served a
ball from 50 yards out, over the
fingertips of outstretched UMass
goalkeeper F.ric Gruber.
Sophomore Patrick McCann was
beside the left post for an easy
tap-in for his first goal of the
year.
The Aussie forward struck
again at the 9:10 mark when a
hall skipped past UMass' Jonathan
Hanna on the wet pitch. McCann
collected the ball and fired it over
a sliding Gruber for a quick 2-0
lead.
McCann clipped Gruber as he
tried to avoid the sliding keeper.
After staying down for five min-
utes as trainers examined his left
leg, Gruber was helped off the
field and replaced by |eff
jablonski. Gruber would not
return to the match.
UMass regrouped during the
Massachusetts 1
Hartford
break and gut some excellent scor-
ing opportunities.
Karsten Bremke had one such
opportunity when he was denied
by a sliding Hartford goalkeeper
Christian DiGenova. Bremke was
severely injured by the keeper's
cleat on the play.
Bremke suf-
fered a large
deep gash on his
right shin expos-
ing the tibia,
which led doctors to initially
believe that he had suffered a
compound fracture. Thankfully
this was not the case, as the 1994
A- 10 Rookie of the Year was
taken to the hospital for x-rays.
With Dave Siljanovski leading
the way, UMass came out fired up
from there and set up the sole
Minuteinen goal of the evening at
the lb:22 mark as he served a ball
on a free kick to Brad Miller who
headed it passed DiGenova for the
goal. Miller played an exceptional
match and was one of UMass' few
bright spots.
Hartford struck back just 1:15
later as David Piquette headed
one past lablonski.
The remaining 50 minutes of
the half saw an even game with
both UMass and Hartford produc-
ing several excellent scoring
opportunities.
The trend continued until
Hartford's Sebastian Cugnetta
scored in the 67ih minute to effec-
tively end the game.
The Minutemen will look to
regroup before Friday's match
against a powerful San Francisco
side at Stanford. The Minutemen
were able to play a solid game
after the initial tumultuous 15
minutes. They will use that atti-
tude to build around as they leave
tomorrow morning.
"We rallied, we just couldn't
put the ball in the back of the
net," Koch said. "It was a positive
sign that they never gave up and
kept fighting to the end. I'm
proud of them for that."
Field Hockey to try and tie up Husicies
By Brian Perillo
Collegian Staff
Saturday's win over No. 15 Temple was the first step
back on the winning track, but today the Massachusetts
field hockey team will face an even tougher test, on the
road against No. t Northeastern.
The Minutewomen (5-5) were able to break a three
game losing streak by defeating the Owls at Totman Field,
a win that tumed the mood of the squad around.
"Wc knew Temple was a good team, and a win like that
over one of our biggest rivals feels real good." said
Massachusetts coach Megan rXjnnclly.
The Minutewomen will try and continue to build on
that win when they tangle with the Lady Huskies this
afternoon at 5:50 p.m. at Parson's Field.
"Northeastern is a lot like Temple," Donnelly said
"They are tough, aggressive and have a lot of speed
Hopefully, we will still be in that flow."
In the win over Temple, UMass used several changes in
their lineup. Sophomore Amy Ott moved from sweeper to
midficld. Freshman Kate Putnam, who was named
Atlantic 10 Rcxjkie of the Week for scoring the only goal
against Temple, moved up to the forward position.
Sophomore |en Gutzman was also inserted into the start-
ing unit at the sweeper position.
"Amy's been great, she's been playing all over the field.
We needed someone strong at sweeper, and I think |cn is
now ready," Donnelly said. "Whoever had a scouting
report on us before, can just throw it in the wastebasket."
Another notable change was the shift of senior captain
Slrcva Volla trom forward to midfield.

they'll ask nonchalantly trying not to reveal their true

Around this time of year, the students start making
their ticket plans for tickets as well. Hundreds of students
apply for the admission to the Minutemaniacs for the right
to pay $25 for otherwise free tickets, to make sure their
seats are insured, and they don't have to get up before the
rooster crows to see UMass/Temple.
"Best $25 I'll spend all year." said one member after
dropping of his check.
Perhaps my political science professor said it best.

Bobby Scale, co-founder of the Black Panther Party, spoke Tuesday on his involvement witti political activism in
the '60s and '70$
By Hemdn Rozemberg
Collegian Staff
AMHKRST — Some say that you
cannot know your future if you don't
know your past. Perhaps this is very
true if one examines the political
legacy that the I»J<jOs and the 1970s
has had on the Black American coin-
munity
Such wa^ the message conveyed
by Black Panther Party (BPP)
co-founder Bobby Scale,
self-acclaimed "revolutionary
humanist." at a talk he gave at
Amherst College Tuesday night.
Seale engaged in a discussion of
many relevant topics to the
African-American struggle for racial
equality in the United States His
main focus, however, was based on
the formation of his evolution in
political thought through the Black
Panther Party.
Seale enrolled in Merrick College
in Oakland in 1962 — the same
institution that Huey P. Newton, the
other founder of the BPP. attended.
Here is where Seale began to get
involved in activist issues.
"Prior to 1962. I really had no pol-
itics." Seale said.
The political activism that was
common then compelled Seale to
take part in the movement. Also, it
was through his university education
that he began to learn many things
about Black Americans and their his-
tory, something which he said had
never been taught to him or been
inaccurately portrayed.
"TiH) many | Black) students then
didn't understand their history,"
including himself. Scale said. "I had
been brainwashed... by so much
damn shit."
In the spring of 1966. Seale and
friend Huey Newton reached their
organizing climax bv forming the
Black
Panther Party for Self-Defensc, as
"Too many I Black I
students then didn V
understand their histo-
ry, " including himself,
Seale said. 'I had been
brainwashed... "
it was originally called According to
Seale, the assassination of Malcolm
X only added to the imminent need
for someone to continue the work he
had began
Although his views of the BPP and
how it has been unfairly illustrated
through lime — as in the most
recent example, the film Panther —
dominated most of the lecture, Seale
also touched on a series of related
issues.
Bringing the "Black Struggle" back
to the present time. Seale •ipoke of
the immediacy of the need for Blacks
to get on the internet, "an area
where a lot of wealth is going to be
generated." according to Scale.
On the subject of the ever-present
racism in America. Seale .>>aid this is
"out of dale — it docs not corre-
spond to reality."
"Don't talk that shit to me," he
said, referring to continued expres-
sions of while superiority over
blacks. Concerning affirmative
action. Scale called it "a bunch of
argumentative political bullshit." and
that Blacks should move by them-
selves so thai the community can
progress.
"The Black Panther Party that I
started doesn't exist anymore." said
Seale. although there are over
1.000 party members who maintain
"a network" of continued legacy.
Many groups, however, have
recently emerged, claiming alle
glance to the BPP. "these dudes
ain't got analytical sense of what
the fuck We were doing in those
times... they go over the same old
doctrinaire, state-controlled com-
mand- economy bullshit." Seale
said.
"My church is the universe." Seale
said, referring to the unnecessary
affiliation to any pariicular religious
group.
Although typical college lecturers
may not use explicit language. Seale
made his presence known by using
such verbal expression.
"Because you've got to the flavor
of the real shit." he said.
The talk, sponsored by Amherst
College group Straight Talk, was
held at lohnson Chapel before an
audience of approximately 500 peo-
pie.
I'he dismantling of Medicare and
Medicaid programs by the
Republican Congress has led to an
open session "Teach In" at
Northampton High School tonight
Titles 18 and 19 of the Social
Security Act. known as Medicare
and Medicaid respectisely. were
signed into law by President
Lyndon B lohnson 50 years ago
Medicare provides basic health
insurance for 55 5 million of the
piKirest people in the natiim
Congress has proposed a $450
billion spending reduction from
these programs over the next sesen
years, cutting $270 billion in
Medicare funding alone
Natalie larnum. member of the
executise board of the
FranklinMlampshire Health Care
Coalition and a linisersity of
Massachusetls^alumni. said the
health care cuts would be an
"unmitigated disaster luit only tor
the millions directly affected, but
for all ol us."
jarmon said she feels the pro
posals are a political coup by the
government to privatize health
care and thereby absoKe them
selves of their lundamenlal ivspun
sibilitv to supply health care to the
needy
"They want to prisatize care and
dismantle the programs, turning
them over to lh«.' states in the lonn
of "block grants" ihal would lake
the legal responsibilities from the
slates to provide for the citizens,"
larmon said
BUxk giants do not mandate the
states to use the money designated
for health care toward these pro
grams
janiion said this form of funding
is outrageous because the money
could end up being spent on high
ways.
"If individual slates are permit-
ted to severely curtail aid pro-
grams." jarmon said. "Millions of
pcH)r people will have no guaran-
teed access to health care "
larmon blames the Republican
pans for misleading citizens on the
need to reduce the national debt.
"The Republican leadership
would have us believe that entitle-
ment programs are largely respon-
sible for our national debt." larmon
said. "It's not true. The ccmgres-
sional budget office reported in
1995 that 711 percent of all debt
accumulated since the beginning of
this nation occurred during the
Reagan\Bush administration, a
decade of mass arms spending and
tax cuts for corporations and
wealthy individuals "
Olver lakes action
Representative John Olver
ll> Mass.) is concerned that the
details of the Republican led
spending cuts are tiH) vague
He joined over 200 members in
CO -sponsoring legislation to allow
full debate on the proposal over a
lour week period
Olver also wrote the chairmen of
three committees with jurisdiction
liver Medicare legislature, request-
ing lo hold field hearings in
Western Massachusetts.
"The jcutsj will have profound
effects on Medicare recipients and
our health care system as a whole."
Olver wrote "Not surprisingly, my
constituents have numerous ques-
tions, comments and ideas about
the options for reducing Medicare
spending hy this unprecedented
amount I would like for them to
have the opfhirlunity to discuss the
proposal and share their thoughts
and concerns "
Olver pointed out that there is
only one congressional hearing
scheduled to discuss the details of
the proposal.
"I want the First District to have
the opportunity to weigh in on
their proposals that would change
the way 57 million seniors get their
health care," Olver said. "I will
continue to keep the pressure on lo
give my constituents that opportu-
nity."
A public education
The Teach In will fcxus on edu-
cating the public on how Medicare
and Medicaid work and how the
cuts will affect individuals.
The public forum is sponsored
by the Franklin\Hampshire Health

Northampton Council on Aging, as
well as the Hampshire Community

Vaid to speak at GLBT conference

One of the leading activists in the
fight for gay. lesbian, bisexual and
iransgcnder rights will hi- at Howker

keynote address for "Ouecr

conference organized and cospon-

In addition lo her speech, which
begins al 8 pin . Vaid is expected to
participate in a book signing, said
Sarah Pease, acting director of the
Sloncwiill Center.
Born in New Delhi. India and
raised in Potsdam. N.Y., Vaid grew
up having to face many obstacles on
account of her skin color and cultural
background.
"jOur family) stixid out like a sore
thumb. " she told Time magazine in
1994 "Kids used to ask. did you
grow up in a tepee'''"
Later, m she adjusted to her identi-
ty as a lesbian. Vaid found herself
caught in the middle of a vast strug-
gle within the GLBT rights move-
ment, the struggle to be inclusive of
all GLBT people, regardless of gen-
der, race, religion, age or disability.
As the first woman of color and
first Indian American to serve as
executive director of the NGLTF,
Vaid often ended up as the only
woman present al NGLTI- meetings.

Vaid devised national GLBT politi-
cal strategy during the 1988 and
1992 presidential election races and
initiated both the 1995 March on
Washington and the Creating Change
Conference, the first national GLBT
political gathering
In 1992, afier more than u decade
of involvement in national GLBT pol-
itics, Vaid stepped down from her
post as executive director of NGLTF
and settled down in Provincetown to
write a book reflecting on her experi-
ences.
Although Vaid is certainly the con-
ference headliner. "Queer
Nation.s/Muiti Nations" has a rosier
than includes a dozen workshops,
three GLBT films, two panel discus-
sion, a lecture, and a stage play.
The conference is designed as a
"celebration of identity intersec-
tions." said Pease. Such "identity
intersections" include the experiences
of gay African-American, visually
impaired lesbians, older bisexuals.
and other GLBT people who find
themselves caught between one or
more scxrial or cultural identities.
L/MHS director

The director of the Center of Psychiatry at Holyoke
Hospital. Dr. Harry Rockland Miller, will be the new
director of University Mental Health Services position,
starting Oct. 25
RcKkland-Miller. who has made adolescents a fcx.us of
his career, said he is "excited to about being in a
University environment."
Working at a University will be a different from his pre-
vious experience because, "it's a lime of transition [for
students), being at the University" Rockland -Miller said.
"For some people that can be a stressful time, which can
lead to a time of questioning of identity, of anxiety, of
depression or of substance abuse." he said.
Since University Health Services (UHS) is an
out-patient clinic, patients who require hospitalization are
transported to one of two local hospitals — Holyoke
Hospital or Cooley Dickinson. Therefore. Rockland -Miller
has worked closely with UHS over the past few years.
"I really appreciated his blend of experience between
working with adolescents and his experience in the com-
munity." said Bernette Melby. director of UHS, who
appointed Rockland-Miller after conducting a national
search.
After he received his doctorate in clinical psychology
from the California School of Professional Psychology in
Berkeley, Calif, in 1986. RcKkland-Miller opened his own
practice in Katonah. N.Y.

Eritrea's struggle
focus of lecture
By Michael Elliott
Collegian Staff
Stories of successful African independence movements
have been few and far between for most of the 20th centu-
ry — a trend which has reversed it.self in the country of
Lritrea, said |oe Puma, who spoke at the University of
Massachusetts Campus Center on Tuesday night.
The presentation, entitled "US Imperialism in the
Horn of Africa," included Puma, who worked for the
United Nations in West Africa, and a documentary,
"Krilrea: 50 Years of Solitude," produced in 1990, just
one year before the country gained full independence.
Bordering the Red Sea, the largely mountainous nation
is tucked away in the northeast comer of the African hom.
For the past 100 years, Lritrea has been repelling foreign
territorial claims since initial Italian occupation in 1 890.
""In order to understand the struggle for independence, it's
important to understand the entire region." said Puma, who
emphasized that l:ritrea's Icxation adjacent \o the very strate-
gic Red Sea lanes often made it a target to outside interests.
In 1941, Great Britain occupied the region English
presence continued until 1952. when the United Nations

country's deep water ports, Fthiopian forces cxxupied and

in favor of Eritrean "federation" with Ethiopia, according

Zimbabwe pres.
speal<s out
Since his decision to exclude a
gay rights group from a
state-lunded international book
fair Idit August, President Robert
Mugabe of Zimbabwe has
found himself at the center of a
massive international controver-
sy-
The Zimbabwe International
Book fair is one of the largest in
Africa, drawing as many as
40,000 visitors and exhibitors
from more than 120 countries,
according to The AdvoLOte, a
prominent American gay and les-
bian magazine.
Although the theme of the
fair was human rights and jus-
tice, Mugabe and members of
his administration forced orga-
nizers to expel Cays and
lesbians of Zimbabwe (CAIZ), a
4-year-old gay and lesbian
rights group.
"If we accept homosexuality as
a right," Mugabe said Aug. 1 in
the fair's keynote address, "
what moral fiber shall our society
ever have to deny organized
drug addicts, or even those given
to bestiality, the rights they
might claim and allege they pos-
sess under the rubrics of individ-
ual freedom' and human
nghts'?"
International reaction to
Mugabe's speech was swift and
included condemnations by
Amnesty International, Human
Rights Watch, South African
author Nadime Cordimer and
over 70 members of the U.S.
Congress
On Aug. 1 1, Mugat>e stood up
to this international opposition
by comparing gays and lesbians
to dogs and pigs and telling his
fellow Zimbaweans, "If you see
people in your areas behaving
like homosexuals, arrest them
and take them t_ ' •, ,. . ,-.
The face of
HIV/AIDS
Retired New York City police
officer jack Lambe wanted to
send out a message about HIV
and AIDS, so he plastered his face
on 2,000 posters and had them
tacked up throughout the city
Under his face were the words "If
you think you're immune to HIV,
think again!"
Lambe tested positive for HIV
in 1985 and remained on the
police force until 1994, when
deteriorating health forced him
to retire. Lambe told The
Advocate that HIV-positive police
officers "have a hard time asking
for help or knowing where to go
because we're usually the
helpers "
Lambe spent several hundred
dollars designing the posters and
the New York City police depart-
ment paid for printing and distri-
bution costs
Reaction has been mixed, from
worrisome hang-up calls to
appeals for help from relatives of
HIV-positive officers Said Lambe,
"a detective looked at the poster
and said that my face could be
anyt)ody's."
GLBT people
blamed for events
According to The Book at Cay
Luti by Lee W Rutledge, GLBT
people have been blamed for at
least 12 "terrible historical
events," including the destruc-
tion of Sodom and Gomorrah,
the fall of the Roman Empire, the
Black Plague, the rise of Na/i
Germany and the appearance of
AIDS.

Eastman talks about Russian leftist politics
Ed Hurley
Collegian StoH
At a lorum on TrotskyiMii Tuesday night pre-
vented by the University of Mitssachuseils
Bcilshevik Club. Leftist piilities collided. The fea-
tured speaker for the evening was Dave Eastman, a
figure in the .American Tailskyivm for 30 years.
Tailskyisni is a fHjIitical \iew based on the writ-
ing of Leon Trolsky. a curly communist revolution-
ary who helped to topple the C/arist regime in
Russia and to set up the Soviet Union.
Eastman is Nclt-ilescribed as having Communism
in his genes. His fjiher wjs a Communist parly
organizer. Eastman saw first hand the eflecl of the
Red Scare that gripped this counlrs decades ago
He said he remembers Kederal Bureau
Invc-stigation agents coming to his duur to harass his
parents. Eastman remaintxl undeterred aiKl followed
in his father's fool steps becoming a communist.
Eastman has been a member of several commu-
nivt organizations over the years Today he is a
member ol The Bolshevik Tendency, which group
members describe as a "fighting propaganda
group." They have organized some rallies and boy
colts but their main focus is information distribu-
tion.
Eastman's spccxh started with an attack with the
Republicans' "Contract Wiih America." He voiced
concern that the right wing 'might be crawling in
our bedrooms." His attack heightened when he
described the right wing plan lor the govcmnieni
as "leaner and meaner compelilive capitalism" that
would hurt the working class and lead to imperial
ventures into other countries.
The fate of Medicare and other eniiilemeni pro-
grams was a concern for him as well He cited an
anecdote about a bank robber who robbed banks
because "they are where the money is." He used
this as an analogy to the Republicans plan cut
Medicare. He further voiced support lor entitle
ment programs and their purpose "as balance for
the upper class."
His lecture cfianged locus when he turned to the
plight of the black people in America today. He
denies any possibility of equality as long as
America is locked into leaner and meaner competi
live capitalism. Eastman farther discredits new
forms of Social Darwinism as the Bell Curve,
which puts some races superior to others.
One facet of Trolskyisni is support for the
Russia. Eastman makes the claim that the USSR
won World War II for the allies, not the United
Slates. He called the much celebrated D-Day
offensive a "sideshow" compared lo Stalingrad
Eastman became critical in his speech v*hen he
posed the question. "Is Trotskyism necessary''."
which he answered in the alTirmalive He cited the
benefits of Trotskyism, saying it was very useful as
an analytical tool in criticizing the totaliiarianism
of Stalin in the Soviet Union Trotskyism is also the
only form of communism that doesn't rclv on capi
lalism after the Revolution in order lo stabilize ihc
economy, he added
Trotskyism is very opposed to imperialism thai
makes large industrial nation richer while dcvimat
ing small non- industrial countries
Eastman cited Germanv as a new imperialisi
power, saying that the country "annexed" East
Germany and is trying lo split apart the former
Yugoslavia and make Croatian "a client stale " Ho
voiced concern for possible U.S. inierests in the
region as well and how NATO might fx.- a pawn in
its game.
The speech closed with some remarks about US
and European Leftists who used to be pacifists and
are now "laptop bombardiers" furthering imperial
istic action into other nations.
Following the lecture there was a spirited discus
sion between the audience and Eastman Some
members of the Spartacist League, a group proless
ing Trotskyism, voiced scathing criticisms againsi
Eastman and his organizaiicm. The Bolshevik
Tendency .
Eastman countered with calling ihc League tin
which he was a former member I as being an 'ofx'
dience cull" that didn't respi-ct the opinions of its
members. The forum ended as members of fxjih
The Spartacist League and The Bolshevik Tendencv
became more coupei^tivc with one anothei
Eritrea

primarily through the Erilrean
Popular I iberation Front (EPLF).
Over three decades of largely guerilla
warfare followed.
By l"i7H. civil war had erupU-d in
the country between the FPl F and
the rival Erilrean I iberation Front
(ELFl Backed by US forces to
counter Soviet involverneni in
Ethiopia, the EPLF nairowly escaped
defeat, yet could not find support
within the inlernalional community
for independence
Puma stressed the involvement of
the superpowers, who supplied arms
to the region. e\acerhaled tensions
between rival factions
Shortly belore Puma's visit, the
EPl F scored a major vie ton against
the Ethiopians, breaking a prolonged
stalemate and guaranteeing ihe
group's eventual capitulation.
Puma, who was given access lo
FPl F officials and installations dur-
ing his lour, praised the organization
as "one of the most impressive opera-
lions I have ever seen."

The EPLF. in addition, established

"a quest for self-reliance."
Most impressive lo IHima were ihe
technical, agricultural and grammar

Erilrean population. "At times I lell
thai all of Eritrea was a school." said
Puma
Taught in their own language and
studying their own history, these
schools provided Erilreans with a
"political conscience" and "a sense ol
history." according to Puma
"It was nol a colonial system." said
Puma.
Eritrea's ability to thrive utxlcT such
hostile and unforgiving circumstances
has instilled a "sense of perseverance,

Dealing with a double identity

I
don't mean to pr> into your private lite and all
that, but how old were you when you were

walked home from Rao's the other night.
I paused and stuffed my hand deeper into the picket of
m\ jacket, savoring the warmth of the Cafe Vanilla in my
other hand wanning me against the suddenly brisk Fall
oxening ^^^___^^_^^
"I was six — no four months old
My uncle was a base chaplin in the
\ir Force and stationed in Thailand
\ly mother wanted to adopt and he
told her of the orphanage near his
base." I said taking an iKcasional sip
from the cup and watching the cars
pass by.
"Wow. Well at least you can say
that your background is interesting.
But. il you had the chance, would >ou
want to meet her^ I mean I know that
bii)lc)gicall> she was yctur mom. but
she didn't raise you." Kate said
And she was right. She didn't raise
tne She. Simsari Panc>n, a name on a
biith certificate next to my own was
just that, another name. I suppose
when I was vvmnger I wanted to. but that was mostly due
to the fact I was always reminded of how "different I
looked."
I was laised in Gloucester. Ma., a small mostly Sicilian
town/island with next to no diversity. Things have
changed since then and my brother and I are no longer
the soul Asian population, but these changes have not
bivn taken easily.
It is amazing how ignorant people can be — people
who consider leaving the Gloucester border an adventure.
Hi>w many times have I been asked if I ate with chop-
sticks iir knew that "karate shit "
Hey. last time I checked, karate was a martial art. not a
suKategory ot human excrement But no. I didn't know
it And no. I used a fork. Although I occasionally revert to
using my toes on special holy days.
It was hard, though, accepting the fact I was different.
It was hard, though,

different, that I would

that I would stay vertically challenged (ha hu(. that my
hair would never be long and blond or that my skin would
remain mcvha colored. It was depressing that the ideals
tor beauty for a small Asian girl were Brooke Shields and
Christie Brinkley.
I felt left out at family functions when my sister (the
biological miracle that my parents had two years after my
_^^.^_^^^_ arrival) is constantly told. "Oh you
look just like your mother!" or "Oh. 1
see you have your grandmother'^
eyes! I do!"
Because I did in no way resemble
that petite Irish woman with the light
red hair and laughing green eyes. I
didn't have the spray of freckles over
my nose or light sandy lashes Nor did
I have the b' 2 of m> father, his
blue/gray eyes or firm jaw line.
In lact. 1 had a round face, glasses,
almond shaped eyes and a bad habit
of chewing on the ends of my waist
length hair. But I got used to that. I
learned to ignore il and the fact that
children arc cruel.
I bUinied it on ignorance and man-
aged to focus on the stuff I had. It
wasn't easy, but after a lot of crying, cursing and generally
being miserable. I sucked it up and movc'd on Needless to
say 1 was a "trying child" during my adolescent years.
But when 1 KK>k at then and compare it to now. 1 real-
ize il was worth it. I grew up a lot faster because of it.
and I have more of an open mind. And as for my birth
mom''
Well I siiKid on our porch and watched Kate go inside
and I thought long and hard about it. And then I realized
that it didn't matter if 1 met her. ttr if I felt guilty or even
if I had a gizzillion brothers and sisters somewhere on the
other side of the world
I had a family who loved me. and I had the knowledge
that someone was willing to part with the most important
ihing in their lives because they wanted to give them a
better life.

To the Editor;
I am one of the two full-time
student managers who live and
work in Bullerfield Kitchen. I am
terribly sotry lor any inconvenience
that having the "54b" version of
our "54S" office/kitchen number
has caused >ou (Notes from the
Campus Center Basement. Sept.
211. It seems odd. however, that
none of these "stoned-«-)ut" kiddies
ever seem to dial the right number
when looking to satisfy their
munchies. Our phone very rarely
rings after business hours, and
those calls have certainly not been
from students looking for food.
The only food we serve is during
meal hours just like any other DC.
(only belter), and the only tele-
phone traffic we receive on that
line is from employees or other
University personnel inquiring after
kitchen business.
Bullerfield Kitchen is an
Auxiliary Services operation in
which all employees save the
chel/manager arc students who
wt)rk and learn in our facility. It is
not a playground, commune, or
snack bar for stoners. Considering

Trying to
ease the pain
To the Fiditor:
When I read about the suicide of
a L'Mass senior, likely brought on
by his conflicts over being biracial.
I. as so many, am deeply pained.
Nothing wc can say will case the
pain of his family. So 1 address this
to the students of UMaA. my alma
mater.
In order that this not sound like
a pedantic sermon. 1 will tell you
where I am coming from. About
three years ago I discovered that a
young African American man I
knew during the 'bOs had been
killed in Mississippi a few years
after 1 had left the South. For a
long lime afterwards. 1 roamed
about in nearly unbearable pain,
anger and guilt: guilt for what my
anccstcirs had done and for all I
had not done. 1 wrote letters, made
phone calls and travelled back
down South and tried to gel his
name on a monument.
1 wanted to find a way to do
something to make sure his death
was not in vain. And. yes. to ease
my pain I wanted to sit in on some
of the multi racial groups which
were meeting on the UMass cam-
pus. I guess I must have sounded
crazed. 1 began to question myself.
What did I have to offer'.' I had no
special mediation skills, no special
knowledge of how to do what I
wanted to do. All 1 hud was my
love and my pain .Ml i could do
was sit before you and weep.
Now we must all weep together,
and for a long time. Our swiety. all
of it. has been given the option
over and over again of cutting a
child in two. or giving in to k)ve.
and il repeatedly has chosen the
former.
Well. I have something revolu-
tionary to suggest. We've been
saying that we don't have to love
one another, that wc just have to
behave according to the rules of
political correctness, develop
cominunicaliim skills and learn to
tolerate each other 1 say wc have
it backwards. I-irsi wc must love
one another All the rest is super-
ficial.
At this nionicnl in our pain, we
can know that I suggest we cherish
that pain. Remember it consciously
each morning beftirc we go out to
meet people or go to u class, to a
lecture that will be but empty
sounds without love. Let this pain
break open our hearts once and for
all. Let it be at the center of all that
we do.

Holding in the hysterics

Iwas a mess. My eyes were
bliK>dshol. tears were streaming
down my cheeks. I was trying to
hide my face from those around me.
but 1 couldn't do il. I had a pounding
headache. 1 kept making noises. I was
sweating the whole time. It was.
quite honestly, one of the more frus-
trating times I have had in recent
time.
No. there was no
bong involved.
Someone wasn't
beating the pulp out
of me (.in one fine
drunken night There was no virus in
my body to speak of. I wasn't having
convulsions. And no. I wasn't doing
that.
I just couldn't stop laughing during
a class.
Quit* possibly the most iincom-
fort)ble feeling tiOok contrtj of my
body during a cIim on Tuesday. 4
Wrote siirhething down to my buddy
next to me. and we enjoyed a good
laugh that I could conceal. Little did
I know that everything I ever thought
was funny throughout my whole life
would pop into my mind for that
hour and fifteen minutes of classtime.
I spent the entire class, which
takes place in a classrinim of about
50 people, trying to restrain myself
from laughing out loud and disturb-
ing the class. Yet. as I gurgled little
noises and whee/ed my way to grab-
bing several people's attention. I may
as well have let it out. Because the
bright red face, with tears streaming
down, and that distorted I-
shouldn"t-be-laughing-but-l-can"t-f
riggen-stop look to show for it. it
was making even more of a scene.
And my buddy didn't help matters.
He'd look at me in the comer of his
eye. and each time, for whatever rea-
son. I would begin to laugh. He'd
then hide his face from me and cover
eyes to not see me begin to shake in
my first step of non stop laughter,
and not to hear the loud sound of me
and my bronchial tube-blocked
laugh.
When the professor said the class
was cncr. my friend and I let out the
laugh. Dirty looks came our way. but
I was laughing too hard to care. I
don't know if the professor really
noticed, and I hoped he didn't. It had
nothing to do with him. 1 just could
not stop laughing.
Why'.' How? It was a stupid -ass
thing I wrote on my notebook. It
wasn't all that funny, yet 1 pulled
muscles in my stomach trying to hold
it in. Il was like I was constipated
from not laughing It was awful We
made absolute fools out
of ourselves Well... I
can say that / made a
bigger jerk oul of myself
because I was more
obnoxious about it I
think it was that Irish red in the face
that got the IcKiks. and the asthma
that got the fellow classmates listen-
ing
I have had years of practice. My
friends from grade school knew me
to laugh at many things. Kid says
something humorous, makes mc
laugh. I get yelled at by the teacher 1
knew it all to well. Those bastards ale
it up each time. too.
One time in high schiKil. the Coach
lines us up on the end line, and is giv-
ing us a pep talk about the upcoming
game In each of his speeches, he
always happened to mention going
out to eat with his wife. It always was
a sandwich.
"So. 1 went to get a sandwich with
my wife... ." Coach said.
My friend whispers to me. "He
never has a sandwich "
I bust out laughing, and within
minutes, my team and 1 are running
suicides because I interrupted
Coach's pep talk.
Another time in high school. I had
moved up to the (get this) Honors
English class in tenth grade. I worked
hard on level one. and was moved
up. 1 mean. I had to prove myself, to
establish to Mr F.llis I belonged
there.
Well, my long-time buddy ol' pal
in front of me draws a picture of the
teacher, and passes it back to me
when he's not looking. One of the
members is reading a part from the
play we were reading and if you were
near me. you could hear mc begin to
rev up. 1 saw what he had drawn, and
the laugh was in its beginning stages.
I started with a soft laugh, because
it was funny and because I wanted
Adam to know what I thought about
his drawing. Then. I saw his shoul
ders begin to shake. So. my laugh hit
second gear I. loo. began to vibrate
I looked at the picture again, and
thctught alKtut it more than the first
time It was suddenly more humor
ous now.
I turned it over because 1 didn't
want to laugh anymore. I did not
want to get in trouble. But Adam's
shoulders were still bouncing, and
my laugh step No. "i came about
Already shaking, and a mixture of
tears and sweat running down mv
cheeks. 1 tried to cover my fiushcd
face and block out everything.
But as my eyes were closed, and
my ears were bliK'ked. I still could
somehow see Adam doing his
shoulder thing. 1 could see the cari
cature of ,Mr. Kllis in my head. I
could see myself making a complete
ass out of myself at that moment. I
was trying to turn the world off.
just so I could stop friggen laugh
ing.
It didn't work.
Put it into fourth in a mustang, and
expect to get a speeding ticket. Mv
fourth step of the laughing engine
was unstoppable. I could not hold
back. The change of color, the tears,
the sweat, the shaking, the obscene
noise trying to squeeze out of m>
closed mouth — it wasn't enough tii
restrain it. 1 blew.
I turned my face to the wall and let
out a howl those kids in that rcxim
will never forget. I just opened mv
mouth, kwsened every muscle in mv
bcxiy. and let out a thunderous laugh
The class slopped, and turned their
head in my direction. So did ol' Mr.
Hllis. Fortunately, he laughed along
with us. fie didn't see the picture
Adam had drawn.
1 was still a mess, as all eyes were
on me. but 1 had let it out. I had
blown my top. It took a time of
working it up to a climax, and let it
all... wait, this is getting mc a little
excited. Anyway, what I mean is. I
was free. It was released from my
insides. It was gone. What a relief.
Too risky, though, to attempt it in
class again.

Some sort of tragic hero
Jeremy
Hurewitz
I have a friend named lohn. We've been friends for a
while and I've watched his ups and downs with
curiosity and fascination. 1 watched women come and
go in a world of drugs, high school sports, rebellion and
family trouble.
One of my most vivid memories of high school is of
watching lohn at a lacrosse game and how his mother
stormed on to the field after she fi>und a half pound of
marijuana in his room screaming, "'Your one of the bad
people."
A couple of years ago |ohn gave me my
first hit of acid. I'll never forget him danc-
ing to the music of Morphine — his purple
hair a tangled web of speckled stars and his
eyes speaking infinitely in a language I'll
never understand.
I've visited him at his college in upstate New York and
saw more girls and drugs, lohn walked around in patched
jeans, a Getty t- shirt and some ugly mesh baseball cap
like some messiah of kinetic energy, and he was the center
of attention where ever we went.
He shared a house with a few degenerates and artistic
types. A gaunt, black-haired, guitar-playing. Trent Reznor
look alike named Lotus lived in the closet downstairs.
They got a lank of nitrous and a couple of barrels and the
place rocked, lohn was bursting with energy and his eyes
glowed visions of some far off Utopia he was chasing.
This summer |ohn saved up some money and
hitch hiked out to Alaska where he worked on a fishing
boat. 1 was busy with my own adventures and didn't have
time to think of him much, but when 1 did I. pictured him
sleeping in the woods and wrestling Grizzly's.
I saw him for about 1 5 minutes at the end of the sum-
mer. He got home and wanted out of there as quickly as
possible. 1 came over and he was packing up the car. He
was haggard and disheveled; shirtless with a corduroy vest
on and pork- chops on his cheeks.
We related a few tales of our travels and talked about
some close friends. I watched him drive off with tires
screeching and his old jalopy belching black smoke.
I spoke to a friend the other night who had recently
spoken to )ohn. He was thinking about
blowing off school, scrounging up sonic
money and hitching back out to Alaska.
Doesn't surprise me. Really nothing would
with him. Not success, failure, love, reli-
gion or even death. He's like some burn-
ing, shooting star and who knows where he'll land.
To me he's some sort of tragic hero. Doomed and mani
acal. yet captivating and cunning. 1 see him as Dean
Monaty in jack Kerouac's. On The Road. All his frantic
ent.>rgy's pushing him in wild directions and threading to
pull him apart. I'm not sure if he's a benediction of an
anathema to those he comes across. I guess it depends on
how you kxjk at it.
Sometimes a lot of us feel that burning energy that
c(.)urses through lohn's veins. We call it "being on."
Blucsmen say "Got my Molo working."
Those times when the present is a golden moment of
purity and life truly feels like a gift from some Pagan,
hedonistic God are the moments we all live for. Those
limes arc why we endure life's everyday hassles in order
to reclaim the dizzy, sweet, nauseous nectar of life.

new series debuts on television
By Rona Mavw
Collegian Staff
Last week was probably the best
week in television we've had in a long
time. With the summer drought final
ly over, the season premieres of
"Seinfeld" and "Friends." two of the
funniest shows on television, finally
aired.
Youd think that ferry Seinfeld's
popular comedy about four hip
friends living in New York City may
have grown stagnant after seven sea-
sons, but the writers still come up
with fresh,
just-like-life-but-only-better plots.
jerry and George
undergo
promise each other that they will
attempt to act like men Lhcy also
agree to stop developing ridiculous
excuses as to why they are constantly
breaking off relationships whenever
they begin to get serious with a
woman George lakes the vow seri-
ously and proposes to one of his
ex-girlfriends.
On the flip side of this episode.
Elaine is greatly bothered by a bark-
ing dog which keeps her up night
after night. In a desperate
attempt, she goes to lerry
for advice and Kramer
tells her that thcv
should just get rid of
the dog.
In the most uproar
ious part of ihr
episode, the camci.i
flashes to Newman
who has become .i
godfather -like expert
on dognapping. Seeing
Newman out of his mailman character
was comical, especially when he
helped kidnap the hated dog which
turns out to be a cute, little puppy
They attempt to lose the dog upstate,
but the cunning little creature some-
how makes its way back home to his
frantic owners and once again, keeps
Elaine up all night
The other part of NBC's Thursday
night lineup, which has now become
my favorite show, is "Friends " Even
though this is only the sht)w's second
season, it appeals to a whole spec
trum of people which makes mc sure
that the show is going lo be around
for a long time.
The antics of Phoebe. NK'iiu.i
Rachel. Ross, Chandler and |oe\ arc
side splittingU funin to watch this
season's premiere promised much ol
the same witty, twenty something
humor.

flight to arrive with a

The most intriguing thing that 1
noticed while watching "Friends" last
week was how inmic the sioi-yline ol

was pining after Rachel while she
went from guy to guv. and she ncvci

Self has to be one of the best woman's maga-

They do so with style, wit and great graphics.
The information is always interesting and well writ-
ten. It is rare that a woman's magazine can stay
fresh and innovative over the years without losing
their edge with society or become wrapped up with
hidden agendas.
My favorite sections are Body/Mind, Fitness,
Medical and Style. But I'm sure you'll find other

Belly feeds the crowd pop tunes
By Tara MK ConneHy
Collegran Staff
sfur
Pearl Street
Sept. 27, 1995
NORTHAMPTON - To the
riotous chants of "Belly! Belly!" and
the hypnotic throb of a Yanni-esque
composition, Tanya Donnelly and trio
took the Pearl Street stage this past
Tuesday night.
Apologizing for the quality of her
voice, the diminutive Donnelly
whipped the crowd into an immediate
frenzy with "Now They'll Sleep."
Gripping the guitar like a last resort.
she ripped through the song with
energy and zest.
Grabbing a rose thrown onto the
stage by an admiring fan, Donnelly
then gave the audience a rakish smile,
stuck the rose in between her teeth
and launched into "Puberty."
Crowd surfing and a momentary
mosh pit soon ensued until Donnelly
pointed out that the people in the
front looked like (hey were "in pain"
and that she would stop playing if it
persisted. The fans were compliant
and even agreed to bounce up and
down for the singer who said, "lump
up. don't go forward. Pogoing — it's
harmless."
And the crowd did bounce.
"This song is about being in love
and being drunk — in either order."
announced Donnelly in her cute little
girl voice right before "Untitled and
Unsung." Then the funky drum roll
and fast opening in "Red" caused the
audience to bounce harder aiKl faster
as if trying to keep up with the
singer's enthusiasm as she strode
across stage, swayed back and forth
and thoroughly enjoyed herself.
The onlookers were given a small
break when Donnelly switched to an
acoustic guitar and crooned along to
"Spaceman." A dreamy sleepy song
backed by soft throaty vocals and a
Kate Bush sounding chorus.
Most of the songs were off of King
as the band was touring in support of
their sophomore release. However
they did play two tunes off their
debut album, Star; the hit singles
"Gepetio" and as an added encore,
"Feed the Tree."
The last song of the set was the
popular single "Superconnected'
which was greeted with whistles, dec-
larations of love and general rowdi-
ness.
Belly is definitely a band to be seen
as well as heard. Donnelly is a
power-packed performer with a little
girl grin and a lot of attitude. She is in
stark contrast with the biker- like
quality of bassist Gail Greenwood
and the quiet presence of guitarist,
Thomas Gorman and drummer,
Christopher Gorman.
Belly's performance was solid and
they have proven themselves a credi-
ble band with some very incredible
pop songs.
Belly played an action packed set this pdU Tuesday oiyht at Pearl Street.

has created a unique sound that sets
them apart from other local bands.
The Mitchells were created when
Darouian and Wetmore got together
in their dorm room lo jam — they
had so much fun. they decided to
start a band. After hooking up with
Smith, the trio began to write songs
together but they still lacked a drum-
mer. After searching around cdmpus
they saw a poster for a drummer —
his name was Mike MacLean. And
thus was bom the Mitchells.
The band's first live performances
were at the coffeehouses held in the
Field dormitory in Orchard Hill.
Since then they have played several

ALBUM REVIEW
Sonic Youth's Washing Machine: a return to their old form
By Mikefturke
CoUegian Staff
SONK YOUTH
Washing Mochina
DCC
After 1 1 studio albums one might think that a band
would run out of steam or inspiration, but that is hardly
the case with Sonic Youth. Washing Machine is their most
intriguing and experimental album since their 1988 mas-
terpiece Daydream Nation. They have finally recaptured
the groove (or lack of) that made them one of the most
important rock bands, of the last decade.
In the early °80s. Sonic Youth emerged on the New
York noise scene and created quite a name for them-
selves. Their self-titled EP was considered pure trash by
many, but since then. Sonic Youth has evolved. The
band's last three albums during the Reagan years,
EVOL. Sister and Daydream Nation document the awe-
someness of the band. Their sound was avant-garde and
it has taken the rest of the music world years to catch
up.
Unfortunately, the '90s have not seen the band reaching
their previous heights. Since signing on to DGC they have
released Goo. Dirty and Experimental jet Set Thrash.
Decent albums that contained moments of brilliance but
failed to live up to expectations. After a summer of head-
lining the Lollapalooza festival, the band has reemerged
with the release of Washing Machine, the band's strongest
effort in years.
The opening track. "Becuz." sung by Kim Cordon has
an eerie resemblance to the classic Patti Smith tune.
"Because The Night." As always Gordan's voice portrays a
dark and angry image that is as soothing as a nightmare.
Midway through the tune, the band erupts into a guitar
orgy filled with noise and feedback.
Gordan's husband. Thurston Moore takes over lead
vocals on "lunkie's Promise" which begins with a piercing
guitar scream. Once again the song transcends into a spell-
binding barrage of guitar attack augmented by Steve

Sonic Youth returns to form with their latest Washing Machine.
Shelle>'s rhythmic drumming hinting at the band's admira-
tion for the Velvet Underground.
Take one listen to the title track, "Washing Machine"
and you will realize that Gordan is still on the cutting
edge even though she is over forty years old. The song has
a definite riot grri sound but that shouldn't come as sur-
prise since Gordan is considered to be the ultimate riot
grrl.
"Unwind." features the band at its most beautiful, if
that word could ever describe Sonic Youth. Moore's
haunting vocals and the band's laid back sound recalls
their cover of the Carpenters' tune "Superstar." But at the
end of the song, the band does just as the title suggests
into a near terrifying chaotic noise fest.
The most surprising song on the album. "Little Trouble
Girl* features a stunning duet between Kim Gordan and
Kim Deal of the Breeders. Mix Deal's innocent singing
voice with a deep dark and disturbing speech by Gordan
and you have the winning combination for best duet of the
year.
Gordon continues her outstanding contribution to the
album with "Panty Lies" yet another example of the band's
refusal to sell out and sound like anyone else. The opening
lyrics have Gordan screaming with her in-your-face alti-
tude. "Don't just stare cuz she's not wearing underwear."
Later she repeats the primitive sounds of "Eh F.h Oh Ah"
that's Sonic Youth for
for almost a complete minute
you.
After brief unlisted reprise of "Becuz." Lee Renaldo
takes his turn at the microphone on "Skip Tracer." The
vocals spoken rather then sung, will remind fans of the
band circa- EVOL era. The overall effect of Renaldo's
talked vocals is chilling and sets the listener in the mood
for the grand finale. "The Diamond Sea."
Taking up a lengthy I** and a half minutes. "The
Diamond Sea" is the pcrfcxi closer to this brilliant collec-
tion of work by Sonic Youth. The beginning of the song
features innocent vocals by Moore backed by a tamed
band. Slowly the band unravels into a deep hypnotic jam
of fc-edback and noise, a combination the band has strayed
away from in recent years. The effect of the song is totally
mind boggling just sucking the listener into their world of
disorder and mayhem. Midway though the tune, the band
returns to form' for a few minutes only to tease the listener
before they drift off into over ten minutes of the band's
trademark nihilistic assault.
If there was ever a doubt to the greatness of Sonic
Youth. Washing Machine will erase those misconceptions.
For 68 minutes the band lakes the listener on an unforget-
table ride into the future of ruck music — Sonic Youth Is
still ahead of their time. Washing Machine may very well
be the best record released so far this year. A

Dark film intrigues audiences
By Laura Stock
Collegian Staff
SfVFN
Directed by David Fincher
with Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt
Ploying at Hampihire Six
Seven is a dark and disturbing suspense film ihat grabs
ihe audience by the enlrails and ropes viewers in fur a
chilling look at the crimes of a serial killer.
Morgan Freeman (Shawshank Redemption) star? as the
serious and intelligent Detective Somerset — a man hard-
ened and depressed by the crime-ridden slum he has lived
and worked in lor several years. As always. Freeman tack-
les the role with much intensity and passion, thereby offer-
ing an eloquent performance.
Somerset has seven days (irony, anyone?) left before
retirement when a gruesome murder occurs. Hot-shot
detective Mills, played emphatically by Brad Pitt (Legends
of the Fall), arrives on the scene to assume his position as
Somerset's replacement.
The first murder that is uncovered is of such a grisly
nature that Somerset is hesitant to let Mills lake over his
beat. When a second slaying proves to be related to the first.
Somerset is convinced that the search for a serial killer has
begun and he stays on the job with Mills as his sidekick.
The connection between the hideous mutilations that
begin to pile up before our shocked eyes is one that Dante.
Chaucer or Biblical students will easily identify. Each vic-
tim becomes such because the madman considers him or
her to have committed one of the seven deadly sins —
Gluttony. Greed. Sloth, Wrath. Pnde. Lust or Env>.
In all of his dark and macabre glory, director David
Fincher (Alien 3) provides a very explicit and gory look at
the murders pertaining to each sin. These graphic >cenes
are as difficult to watch as they are intriguing, thereby
making it impossible to avert your eyes from the screen.
We don't want to see anymore, but yet are curious as to
what the next of the seven sins will be.
Seven is not merely dark in terms of content, but the
entire movie appears to be filmed in a shadow. Once your
eyes adjust to the dimly lit set. and you figure out thai the
anachronistic setting (the film takes place in the present)
is only such to establish the depressing theme, you have no

On Friday, the local lesbian cho-
rus. The Sapphonics, will team up
with the Seattle-based Divine
Comic Dyke Divas, the Derivative
Duo. lor a one night only perfor-
mance at the Unitarian Society of
Northampton.
The Derivative Duo is made up
of Barb Glenn and Susan Nivert.
According to Glenn, the two met
in a feminist chorus in 1980. In
1982. .Nivert and Glenn wrote an
opera parody called 'Coming Out
Mozart' where Susan would sing
the word 'Dyke' on a high C. The
opera brought the house down
and so the Derivative Duo was
bom.
Glenn and Nivert both work
full-time in the mental health fields
but Nivert said. "We both like per-
forming' and Glenn added that per-
forming music 'gives my life
depth."
The two collaborate on all the
songs they wrote. They pick the
music from a classical repertoire,
usually in the operatic genre. Nivert
mentioned that sometimes they
would "pick a subject first' and
then pick the music, but the usual
procedure is to find the music and
then write the lyrics.
Their song subjects range from
mammograms to Fabio. Glenn said
she is sure "Mozart is rolling over
in his grave, but we think he's got a
good sense of humor and would
probably enjoy this."
In fact, many people enjoy the
Derivative Duo The duo's first CD
"Opera For the Masses' was listed
in The Seattle Times as one of the
eight best new recordings for the
summer of 1995 The Derivative
Duo found themselves in good
company with the likes of Pavaruiti
and other classically oriented
groups.
Nivert and Glenn stress their
music is for everyone and that it
appeals to everyone on a broad
level. The combination of bizarre,
classical music, laughter and come-
dy makes for a good lime for every-
one
The Sapphonics. founded in
January of 1991 has 22 volunteer
memlxT> and while a lesbian chorus.
IX'bbit Buckley, the production man-
ager for the group, said the group is
open to all women One of the nice
things about the chorus Buckley
pointed out is the chorus is inclusive
of musical ability. She said the
women "come into the chorus, not
knowing how to sing and then filling
the halls and finding their voices '
The gruup performs a variety of
music from Brahms to Rodgers and
Hammerstein. Heather Faust, music
director, said she chooses music that
is "by women, relevant to women
and about women." She also looks
for music that 'speaks to all humani-
ty." One example Faust cited was a
song about peace and love, written
jointly by a Palestinian and an Israeli
Faust and Buckley insist that their
group is not into that politics.
Buckley said, 'the goal though is to
have fun. If it's not fun, it's no worth
doing.' Flowever. she added, 'we do
not tolerate any form of social injus-
tice."
Buckley said this is "quality
music. Everyone enjoys it. It takes
uppity opera and makes it for the
masses."
The Derivative Duo and The
Sapphonics will perform at the
Unitarian Society of Northampton
(next to City Hall on Main St )
Tickets are $8 and $10 Tickets can
be bought at Wild Iris. Third Wave.

less than spectacular performance as a director
of the elatwrate, "upper-crust" dance strip show.
Goddess. Gina Gershon perfects her sneering
glance as Crystal, the current star of Goddess.
The relationship t)etween Nomi and Crystal.
though underdeveloped as every subplot is in
this movie, is one of vacillating lust and jeal-
ousy. Nomi hates Crystal, as their catfights
reveal, and viciously ruminates over how to
dethrone her from the queen of the dance show.
Later, the film develops bisexual overtones as
Crystal has a psychotic attraction towards
Nomi.
Sexually speaking, this film is unsure of
where to take a stance The endless stripping
scenes become more tiresome than titillating as
the audience becomes de-sensitized to nudity.
The relationship between Nomi and Crystal is
never deflned and the heterosexual sex scenes
are violent and unrealistic.
Moreover, Showgirls is so degrading to
women, it is a wonder how the filmmakers
expected this to sell to a diverse audience.
Absent are moral judgements on stripping, pros-
titution or drug abuse. Women are not only
viewed as objects, but as entertainment servants
who are snapped at or spanked on the rear
when a man wants their attentkxi. We are also
subjected to a gruesome rape scene, which was
totally unnecessary in this movie.
This degradation of women is a major disap-
pointment from the writer-director team Joe
Eszterhas and Paul Verhoeven, who proved with
Basic Instinct that sexually- explicit films can be
made that actually empxjwer the heroine. Nomi is
a character the film does not put on a pedestal,
but rather tramples underneath all of the smut.
As the night, and the tedious movie, wore on.
the comments I overheard began to change.
"How long is this movie?"
"What time is it?"
In a scene where Berkley is sitting on a
rooftop, one audience member begged for
mercy, hoping she would jump.
If you go to Showgirls for the nudity, you'll
get the nudity, but you'll also have to suffer
through all horrible acting, terrible dialogue and
one of the most disgusting productions in film
history. F

BEIJING — A cultural cxidity at
home. China's premier ballet iroupe
is touring the United Stales for the
first lime in a decade to perform
traditional Chinese tales.
The Chinese dances performed by
the National Ballet of China include
"Zhufu," a tale of a woman sold into
marriage who discovers unexpected
love, and the first Chinese ballet, the
1964 "Red Detachment of Women."
"Zhufu" was adapted from "New
Year Sacrifice." a story by modern
writer Lu Xun. Its main characters
are a widow sold as a bride and the
peasant who buys her. then becomes
brokenhearted over her dciermina-
lion to escape and offers her the
freedom to choose her fate.
"Ballet — this foa-ign art form —
can show Chinese life and feelings
without any need for language. The
audience sees and understands."
manager Huang Minxuan said dur-
ing rehearsals before the troupe left.
He will dance the part of the villains
in the two Chinese ballets.

I assume that the intention of the
EszterhasWerhoeven philosophy is
to scare people away from sex. so
they will just spend all their money
on repeat viewings of Showgirls.
After all. Showgirls is just like see-
ing a strip show, but without the
awkward feeling of stuffing money
down a G- string.
The rub is that Showgirls is
actually less gratifying than a strip
tease. The viewer is forced to ogle
women, without any attention to
mood or mystique. The notion that
the female form is bankably erotic,
even in the most banal circum-
stances, has repugnant implica-
tk>ns for both sexes. Showgirls can-
not help but suggest that men
would be better behaved if they
were away from women, and
women would be safer if they were
away from men. This flies in the
face of everything western society
has tried to accomplish in the past
century.
If we are to believe the gospels
of Joe (Eszterhas) and Paul
(Verhoeven), then what are our
options? Showgirls suggests that
we stop denying our base impulses
and grow accustomed to what it
implies as our genders' tot — inter-
preting our most animal impulses
as our highest potential Showgirls
implies that really good whores can
have an enjoyable time (given that
they have the movie to stay on
top), and really good pimps are
untouchable. It is a pathetic, bleak
world view that I don't choose to
share. But look out, Jesus is com-
ing.

TV watchdogs single out stupidity
By Lynn EJber
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Television is taking heal for
being violent, sexist, oversexed and more, with the
medium's collective knuckles soundly rapped by all
manner of critical Miss Manners.
Go to it. we say. as shameless as anyone in jumping
in on I he latest socio-psycho-poliiical etiquette craze.
But what about the smaller annoyances television
visits on viewers'.' Call us petty, call us superficial, but
who's the watchdog lor the iingernails-on-lheblack-
board stuff.'
While research funds are pending, our able staff has
prepared a preliminary report on problems that may. in
their own small way. conlribuie lo national depravity.
Oral least irritability.
Like these tiny trespasses:
— The shoulder-to-shoulder striding cast shot.
You've seen it in the credits of "ER." "Chicago Hope"
and, like a virus snaking its way through a defenseless
throng, on newcomers like "The Monroes."
Filmed in portentous (OK. pretentious) slow
motion, the actors march down a corridor, preferably
one of power. They arc determined, they are driven,
they are in drill-team synch.
But where arc these people going'.' And why'.' Did
someone just yell "Fresh brewed cappuccino in the
lunchroom!" Or maybe Eiowling league signups!"
At other workplaces, according lo our research
team, only food, fire drills or 5 o'clock get people mov-
ing like that.
— Exclusive reports that aren't. "Tonight, only on
'Entertainment Tonight'' "Tonight, only on Extra!"
Thai's the siren song from these dueling inside-
Hollywood shows.
But the "exclusives" are duplicates, such as inter-
views wiih
Sharon Stone hyping her latest film. Maybe the
exclusive pari was gelling to sec Stone's glamorous
movie wardrobe up close (hmmm. no lingerie shots).
Maybe it was the lame banter bctwix-n Stone and crew
members.
Granted, entertainment scoops aren't on a par with,
say. Washington revelations aboul politicians and the
women ihey grope.
Bui c'mon. even gossip addicts have standards: no
real dirt, no unreal hype.
Send both shows lo a 12-slep program for rehab -
and to dig up some honest irash.
— Nicknames for those who haven't earned them.
Who can resist a gangster's colorful moniker, like
those bestowed on Lucky Luciano. Bugsy Siegel and
Dutch Schultz'.'
Not ihe news media, certainly, even when ihe hon-
oree seems borderline. Take Craig "Tony The Animal"
Fialo. a mob inlorrrkanl who got to kick up his heels in
the O.j. Simpson trial chorus line.
What kind of track record does ihis lough guy have
lo have to gel such recognition'.' Let's face it. hired
guns like Robert "Hollywood Bob" Shapiro and
Johnnie "Mighty Mouth" Cochran jr. are way ahead of
Fialo in the public consciousness. As is prosecutor
Marcia "The Miniskirted Mauler" Clark. Credit wlicre
credit is due, please.
— Politics and sitcoms as strange bedfellows. This
season started oul with |ohn F. Kennedy jr. pulling a
cameo on "Murphy Brown."

Texas as a (XJtcntial stumbling block
for the Aggies. With the loss to
Colorado, the Aggies will have to
hope for some help if they will get a
shot at the championship.
• Last week's predictions were not
very solid. While USC won easily and
Notre Dame cruised, my pick of
A&M over Colorado dropped my
record to 2-1 for the week. Now for
a look at this week's key malch-ups.
Colorado at Oklahoma
The Buffs, coming off the big win
over A&M. play another huge game
this weekend. However. Colorado will
be without the services of star QB
Koy Detmer. Detmer injured liga-
ments in his right knee and will be
side-lined for the game. The loss of
Detmer did not slow the Buffs last
week as back-up John Messier ran for
two TD"s and threw for another in
relief duty. Perhaps more impressively
for Colorado was the play of their
defense. The defensive unit held the
electric Leeland McElroy to a mere 52
yards rushing, yielding only five more
yards to the rest of ihe Aggies' team.
Coach Howard Schnellcnberger's
Oklahoma team pasted North Texas
last week 51-10. Garrick McGhec
threw two TD's and ran for another
in the Sooncrs' win. The Sooners arc
undefeated, but have yet to play a
quality opponent, posting victories
over San Diego State. SMU and N.
Texas. The Sooners' suspect defense
will be tested despite Detmer's
absence. Even with the home field.
Schnellenberger and the Sooners
taste defeat for the first time this sea-
son. Colorado 3 1 . Oklahoma 20.
Noire Dame at Ohio State
This one looks to be the game of
the week. OSU's offense has been
tremendous to date. Eddie George
looks like a Heisman candidate at
running back. What is even more
striking is the emergence of wide-out
Terry Glenn. Glenn has stepped out
of the shadow left by joey Galloway.
He hooked up with QB Bobby
Hoying for four TD's last week.
Coach lohn Cooper's defense lost
two key defenders in Korey Stringer
and Lorenzo Styles, but Orlando
Pace and Shawn Springs key a solid
Buckeye defensive unit.
Notre Dame has silenced the early
season critics. Since losing the opener
the Irish have rolled. Randy Kinder
rushed for 129 yards last week and
Marc Edwards ran for two scores
keving a lough Irish running game.
QB Ron Powlus was solid, passing
for 275 yards.
This one comes down to who has
the better defense. The Irish gave up
335 passing yards last week and may
be susceptible to the Hoying-Glenn
combination. Coupling a competent
Buckeye passing game with the solid
ground game equals victory for Ohio
State. Ohio State 28. Notre Dame 20.
Georgia at Alabama
Georgia has lost quite a bit so far
this season. Not only have the Bulldogs
lost two bailgames. but they have kwi
their starting running back and are
also without a starting QB. Last week
the Dogs lost QB Mike Bobo to liga-
ment tears in his right knee and earlier
in the season they lost star running
back Robert Edwards to a broken foot.
The Bulldogs' offensive unit, once the
strength of this team, may now be the
weak link. Fans in Athens have to be
asking: Where is Eric Zeier?
.Alabama has had two weeks off to
pref>are for this one. as well as think
about their 20-14 loss to Arkansas.
While Bama's offense is not that
strong, the defense returns five
starters and is loaded with depth.
Georgia has no QB and is weak at
running back. Bama wins an ugly
game. .Alabama 2b. Georgia 17.

BOSTON — Tim Wakefield pre-
ferred to l(X)k at the four scoreless
innings that ended his night instead
of the three bad innings that started
it.
The Red Sox knuckJeballer settled
down after spotting Detroit a 3-0
lead on Wednesday night, but
Boston couldn't overcome the deficit
and lost 7-5.
"1 was throwing the ball the satne
way the first through seventh
inning." said Wakefield, who gave
up 1 1 hits before retiring the last
nine batters he faced. "1 think I've
been throwing the ball well this last
month. Things just haven't been
going well for me."
Wakefield (16-7) was a contender
for the Cy Young award after start-
ing the year 14-1. But since then, he
is 2-6 with a 6.02 ERA to raise his
ERA from 1.65 to 2.99.
"I don't know that much about
Wakefield." Detroit manager Sparky
Anderson said, "but it appears he is
in a drought."
Tuesday night's loss was the third
consecutive bad outing for
Wakefield. He Is scheduled to start
the regular-season finale in
Milwaukee on Sunday and then
Game 3 of the playoffs next Friday.
"This really doesn't matter."
shortstop lohn Valentin said. "When
we go into the playoffs he's going to
have to pitch well and we know that
and he knows that. It's always nice
to go into the playoffs with a good
game under your belt, but it doesn't
matter."
lose Lima (5-9) was the beneficia-
ry of 14 Detroit hits. Travis Fryman
hit his 15th home run and Tony
Clark was 2for-5 for his third multi-
hit game of the series. Chad Curtis
Cecil Fielder. Bobby Higginson. Phil
Nevin and Ron Tingley also had two
hits apiece.
The Red Sox lost for the fourth
time in five games despite three hits
each from lose Canseco and Mo
Vaughn, including Vaughn's 39th
home run.
Lima has pitched well in his last
five starts, going at least five innings
in each and allowing a total of seven
runs. He left after five innings,
allowing one run on six hits, walking
none and striking out one.
Ben Blomdahl. the fifth Detroit
pitcher in the ninth inning and the
eighth overall, got the last out for
his first save.
Detroit led 7- 1 before Boston
scored two in Ihe eighth on
Vaughn's Icadoff homer and Mike
Greenwell's RBI double In the
ninth, the Red Sox got two more on
lohn Valentin's RBI single and
Canseco's bloop RBI single as
Anderson emptied his bullpen.
The Tigers scored two runs in the
second inning and hit Wakefield
even harder in the third. Fryman
homered over the Green Monster.
Fielder banged one off the right field
wall for a long single and Clark hit
one off the Monster for another sin-
gle.
After Higginson flied out to the
warning track in center. Nevin and
Scott Fletcher hit RBI singles to
make it 5-0. Detroit made il 7-1 in
the eighth when Tingley doubled in
Higginson and then scored on
Curtis' single.
Notes: The Red Sox have named
Roger Clemens' record 20-strikeout
game from April 29. 1986 as the all-
time special moment in team histo-
ry. The feat will be recognized in
the Red Sox Hall of Fame which
will open Nov. 1. ... Fryman has
seven RBIs in his last four games
... Boston second baseman Luis
Alicea was a late scratch for the sec-
ond night in a row. Rodriguez
replaced him in the lineup. ...
Clemens and Greenwell will tie a
team record with a fourth playoff
appearance. Only Dwight Evans and
Harry Hooper have done it four
times. ... Clark was 7-for-l2 in the
series. ... It was Vaughn's first
home run since Sept. 15. ... The
victory clinched fourth place in the
AL East for the Tigers. . . Anderson
gave a hint that it might have been
his last game at Fenway Park, where
he won the 1975 Wprld Series with
Cincinnati. "I'll tnanage somewhere
next year. I like the National League
better."

McNeilly
continued from page 16
completed 46.2 percent of his passes in his career
(219-472). and he's thrown 24 INTs compared to
eight career passing TDs. The numbers are ver> much
the same.
McNeilly takes abuse
McNeilly has been known as a tough player from
day one. For a quarterback, he can throw a block and
he"s strong on the run. He's been known to be a hard
worker by the coaching staff. Unfortunately, the one
weakness he has is a considerable one for a man who
plays his position.
His passing game is not all that effective.
For this. .McNeilly has been the target of ruthless
criticism.
"Well. I guess that goes with it. There are times
when I say. you know. "1 don't need this. I don't want
this. I just want to play and do my best, and help the
team win.' I wasn't asked to be put in this position,
where 1 gel judgc-d good or bad." McNeilly said. "But I
guess that's the way it goes, whether you iike it or not.
That's the position you're in as quarterback, and you
have to loam to live with it.
"What I've learned to do is let all that stuff go right
by me. Before 1 used to read that stuff, and I u.scd to
get really hurt about it. or upset. It really used to both
er me. But now. it's like you can't do anything about it.
it's just the way it goes."
This year is going, almost four games into the meat
of the schedule. For McNeilly. the last three weeks
have been arguably the most quiet of his career. He
has not been targeted for lack of offense He has not
been blamed for the offensive woes. His passing game
has not been condemned.
It's too bad the only reason is because Andrew
McNdilly has not got the call as quarterback for the
Minutemen.
But. despite not taking the heat. McNeilly is still
frustrated. His time has been limited at practice,
since he stretched ligaments in his thumb the second
day of camp So it's not just the adjustment of not
playing in the games, he has yet to do all that much in
practice.
Wants to play, but also wants to win
McNeilly is not used to ail of this. This is a guy who
has started 28 games in his career. He has this one year
left to play collegiate football After being the UMass
field general for his first three seasons, McNeilly is
now taking a backseat in his senior year.
As lor bitterness towards not having the nod as the
starter. McNeilly admits he's frustrated. But, as lor
resentment to Campanile or anyone else involved with
the change. McNeilly counts it al! out.
"Thai's an attitude I probably would have had as a
freshman." McNeilly said. "But now. al my age, after
what I've been through, it's not anything towards
jV'itoj. It's more of just .. ihis is my fifth friggen' year
here and I'd like to go out being a pan of a winning
team. I'm past all that crap about who's playing, or
how he's going to do.
"Right now, I just want my thumb to get better so
that, you know... if there is a situation where they
need me, I'll be ready to plav "

"best player to have ever played
hockey."
Almost every Bruin that was there
listed Orr's game winning goal in the
1970 Stanley Cup as the greatest
Garden memory ever. Orr addressed
the issue with UPN58's Sean
McDonough.
"The goal was nice. I'm glad to
have scorcxi it, but being the part of a
Stanley Cup Champion was the real
thing."
When Orr walkeil down the carpet
to take his place, the rest of the Bruin
alumni gave him a fitting tribute rais-
ing their arms up and down in adora-
tion.
Watching Orr was reminiscent ol
the night his number was raised to
the rafters, speaking briefly to the
Garden crowd as a single tear rolk-d
down his cheek.
!x>oking al him, you can't help but
realize how young Orr slill is. At only
47. if his career hadn't been cut
short. Orr might have slill played

What a month You wonder jusi
how much senlimentality one sports
fan can endure, but the month ol
Septemtvr has yanked at the heart ol
Ihis sports fan.
It started with the immurtal Cal
Ripken breaking Lou Gehrig's con-
secutive game streak. Il continued
when I sal in the bleachers as the
Red Sox clinched the AL Fast, but
Wednesday night was still clearly the
pinnacle.
I've been skating since I was four
and have been a B's tan for even
longer Like any true Ian. I'll mis*, the
Boston Garden, but Wc-dnesday night
was a celebration ol a franchise. The
franchise 1 have loved for as long as I
can remenjbcr.

team, starling al ihe age ol I i,
where for a while, she was a team-
mate of l.ynch's Even then,
according to Lynch, one could see
the potential in the young
Thompson.
"I could definitely tell she was
mature when she was younger,"
she said. "I knew she'd be a great
addition to the back jlor usj."
The fact that Thompson played
for vuch high level teams is some-
thing that was not lost on Rudy.
'1 spoke to lim Rudy the other
day about ik^l and he kaid he
l^new that I would be coming Ironi
a lop- level club and the Olympic
Developnienl pri>grain. so he said
that he wasn't alraid ol the Iransi
lion."
Thompson's transition was
made easier due to the fact that
she is conifortible with her learn
males.
'I like the team, thi7 make me
feel really welcome I like the
coach," she said. "I totally love the
work ethic on this leam Thai's
what I came from, a club that
strives on that. So it's goixl to see
our team doing it, working hard."
Thompson had many goals for
herself entering the season, and
she's already accomplished some
She's got a starling job and she
plans on keeping il. She also
would like to try and gel forward
more, become more offensive in
her play. But there's more she
wants to do.
'I just want to all around
improve throughout the season I
don'i wain tu get on • downhill
slope aixl keep going down, just
improve and learn from my mis
takes. I'm starling to not think of
myself as a freshman on the field
and start being more of a leader. 1
want to continue to work hard and
work as a leam.
"Hopelully, that can lead us lo
the Final Four," she said

Field hockey suffers 6th loss to Northeastern Univ.
By Matt Voulour
Collegian Sfotf
The .Massachusetts field hockey
team found out why the Northeastern
Huskies are ranked No. 7. as the
home team dumped the
Minuiewomen 5-1 at Parsons Field
in Boston yesterday afternoon.
The Minutewomen fall to 5-6 after
the loss while Northeastern improves
to b-2 on the season.
The Minutewomen
led l-U at halftimc
but collapsed in the
second half.
Freshman Kate Putnam was one of
few bright spots for the
Minutewomen. as she continues to
emerge as an offensive force. Putnam
was named the Atlantic 10 RtKikie of
the Week last week after she scored
the only goal in L'.Mass' 1- 0 win
over Temple last Saturday.
At 8.19 into the first half, in the
midst of chaos in front of the NL' net.
Putnam drilled a shot by Husky goal-
tender len Ruggerio to give the visi-
Massachusetts 1
Nortlieasteni
tors a 1-0 lead.
The Minutewomen held on to that
lead on the strength of some solid
goaltending by junior keeper Stacy
Walker Walker registered 1 5 saves
on the day for the Minutewomen.
The Huskies got to Walker in the
second half as the home team scored
three unanswered goals after inter-
mission to cruise to victory
Less than five minutes into the sec-
ond half, sophomore
len White -.cored her
third goal of the sea-
son to knot the game
at 1-1
Midway through the half. Andrea
Devoe netted her first collegiate goal
to put the Huskie> ahead 2-1.
Freshman forward Karrie Danilecki
followed suit shortly after, netting
her first collegiate goal less just 1 :47
later to close out the scoring.
This was the first time all season
that Keri Bettenhauser hasn't scored
for the Huskies,
Northeastern held a 25-5 penalty
corner advantage in the game and
also had more than three times as
many shots (27- 8) as
Mas>achusetts.
Ruggerio was strong in goal, pick-
ing up five saves in the victory.
Ruggerio has been a key player in
Northeastern's success during the
past two years. After transferring to
NL' from lames Madison, the senior
from Kennett Square. Penn. has
helped backbone the Husky defense,
and led the team to the NCAA tour-
nament last year
The Minuiewomen will return to
action on Sunday afternoon, when
they take on No. 5 Old Dominion in
a neutral site game at Storrs. Conn.
The Lady Monarchs beat
Massachusetts 2-0 (Sept 15) at
another neutral site game at North
Carolina at Chapel Hill. This is the
first time the two squads have ever
met twice in the regular season.
UMass hasn't beaten ODU since
1995.
Northeastern will next take on the
Drexel Dragons Friday afternoon at
home.

Kate Putnam (with the ball) scored the Minutewomen's only goal of the game against the Huskies. Erica

Men s water polo
to host BC Eagles
at Amherst College
By Fr«d Hurlbrink, Jr.
CdUgion Correipondant
Massachusetl*. water pi>lo coach Russ Yarworth looks to
teach former pupil CT Ladd a lesson tonight as Boston
College comes to town to challenge the 9- 1 Minutemen at
Amherst College at 6:50 p.m.
Tonight's match-up present^ "-ome interesting twists as
all three Fagles coaches graduated Irom Ma-sachusetts
and the varsity water pok> pri>gram.
BC's head coach. Ladd. wa> a career record holder in
ejections drawn here at LMass until this season when
senior co-captain Luis Limardo passed him. Ladd is in the
Top 10 in three other career categories
Dan McOscer and Matt Buckley are Ladd's two assis-
tants McO'-cer may be back to assist N'arworth next year
as he comes to L'Mas>- for graduate schix^l.
Although Mdi^sachusetts is 17-1 lifetime against BC.
and wiin all four meetings last season, this iv not a team
that Yarworth is taking lightly
"They hustle They fight They play good defense. So
they'll be a good challenge for us." Yarworth vaid.
Along with the 9-1 record this year, their almost perfect
record against Boston College, and being the No. 1 5 water
polo club in the country, the .Minutemen were undefeated
at home la'^t season.
"I can't remember the last time we lost a game there, so
I guess there is a home pc>ol advantage." >arworth vaid
"The players are psyched to play here. It's always reward-
ing for them to show off what they do — they work
hard.'
The only foreseen negative in this match for
Massachusetts i^ the injury to the team's leading scorer,
freshman Bnan Stahl As of Wednesday morning he was
questionable for the BC match. With a big Kastem Water
Polo A>.vocialion (F.WPA) tournament coming up on
Saturday. Stahl won't want to risk further injury.
There are •<till some "bumps and bruises" being felt, but
the rest of the team is expected to be ready to play.
Senior goalie Alex Mujica. as evidenced by his great
showing in Providence. R I., has fully recovered from his
groin pull injury and is set to lead the Minutemen through
a tough stretch of their schedule.
Despite the setback. Mujica has posted a career best
goals against average (5.26) and save percentage (.561) in
19 quarters of play thi^ reason. Mujica. a native of Rio
Piedras. Puerto Rico, has extended his all-time career
saves school record to 565.
lunior utility man Greg Menton, a native of Dundee.
Ore., has been a staple of this team so far in their 1995
campaign One of the team leaders in shooting percentage.
he ranks third on the team in goals (17), fourth in assists
(15). and is tied for third in total points (50). He has
excellent speed and has won 22 swim-offs already this
season.
Along with Menton, watch for sophomore |.C. Limardo
(11 goals), and freshmen Gabriel Marrcro and Carlos
Mendez (14 goaK apiece) to pick up the slack if Stahl is
unable to play against Boston College.
In L'Mass' four wins against the Eagles last season, the
Minutemen outscored BC by a total of 75 26
This Saturday, the Minutemen go to the Bronx for an
EWPA North Division Tournament. They will face St.
Francis. Harvard and Fordhain.
Thompson steps up under pressure
By Gindke FlMnming
Collegian Staff
Coming to a nationally ranked program as a highly
regarded freshman is one thing. Coming to a nationally
ranked program to replace an All-American is another.
Amanda Thompson faced this pressure entering
Massachusetts as a freshman defender for the No. 1 1
women's siKcer team, but she has handled it impressive-
ly, making an immediate impact.
With the graduation of .All-American defender Heidi
Kocher, there was a huge hole to fill in the
Minutewomen defense. Enter Thompson.
Naturally, she wasn't expected to take Kocher's place,
as the two are different players. Kocher was a defender
who played an attacking style, while Thompson plays a
more stay-at-home style of defense, but the pressure
was there.
"I didn't really follow j Kocher] much, but I heard
rumors about how she played and that they were going
to miss her." Thompson said. "By the attitude of the
team and talking ti> them, they really respected her "
The Houston native hasn't scored a goal or notched
an assist for the 5-1 Minutewomen. but she has made a
contribution playing out of the back at sv^eeper
"She's a very experienced, composed, reliable player
who fit in very quickly." Massachusetts coach |im Rudy
said.
Her defensive backfleld mates agreed.
"She hasn't played like a freshman at all." said senior
defender \ikki Ahrenholz. "She's stepped right in and
done a great job for us. As a freshman, that's an amaz-
Amanda Thompson
ing accomplishment."
"I think she's outstanding for a freshman." junior
defender Frin Lynch said. "She plays with a lot of confi-
dence. I have a lot of confidence in her. She's very
mature for a freshman."
While the typical freshman usually has a tough time
adjusting to the college level, judging by her confident
and steady play, rhompson hasn't had to make much of
a transition. TTiis can be attributed to playing for the
prestigious Klein Challenge Soccer Club, instead of high
schiK)l siKcer
"The better training was in club for me. so I just
decided not to play high scht>ol." Thompson said. "It
was good to stay in club because I trained with older
teams and I got to travel with them to tournaments. In
my junior and senior years, we played collegiate-level
teams. We playcxJ North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Duke
and several other top level universities. That gave me
experience on the collegiate level,"
"Klein Challenge Club is an excellent club for prepa-
ration. " Rudy said. "They have a full-time staff with
dynamic coaches. They do a very nice job. It's an
impressive organization, jln Texas] a lot of kids feel
high schiHjl is not worth it. not competitive. Jln that
case] the high school loses out and loses a quality play-
er."

Frustrating senior year for Andrew McNeilly
By Andrew Bryce
Collegian staff
Andrew McNeilly walks into the
front hallway of the lockeroom. He
gives this writer a wave as he enters
the lockeroom. He keeps walking,
not expecting to be the desired per-
son for an interview.
That's how it's been for Andrew
McNeilly this season.
The fourth game of the 1995 sea-
son is approaching, as the
Minutemen head to Kingston, R.I., to
take on the Rhode Island Rams on
Saturday afternoon. It is the last time
the seniors will face Rhody. And in
the last three years, it has been
McNeilly who has been behind the
center against the Rams.
Now, that has all changed. After
being starting quarterback for his
first three years, the incumbent
McNeilly was relegated to backup
duty before the first game, and Vito
Campanile was named as the
first-stringer.
McNeilly has yet to play a down
since.
"It's been... fairly difficult,"
McNeilly said when asked how it's
been accepting the backup role, "but
one thing I said when they told inc, I
said, as long as we win. I'll be
happy.' And that's true. Football's
not like baseball — you go 5-6, it
makes for a miserable year.
"The season goes slow, it's so long.
If you lose it on Saturday, you get
five days of practice, and people are
in bad mixxls during the week... it's
miserable v*'hen you lose "
Rough 1994 season
Miserable — that's how McNeilly
and the Minutemen felt last season.
The disappointing 5 6 season was
uncharacteristic of UMass luolball,
and the passing game, or lack there-
of, was considered by many as the
primary reason.
Fverybody critiqued the offense,
from media to fans alike. The run-
ning gets the offense up the field on
many occasions, the air game is need-
ed if you couldn't get it past the 50
on the ground. What about third
down and long? Rene Ingoglia can
only carry an offense so much on his
broad All-America shoulders, but
you can't expect even him to get 20
yards each handoff.
Things were said.
Get McNeilly out of there. He's the
rciison I Miiss (,s m this mess. Can't
he throw the hain Why is MeSeilly
ill the giime'' The Minutemen have
no pussiiig giinie...
McNeilly knows it.was being said.
He also knows they were being
said a whole lot more when UMass
was losing games.
"No matter what, there's one thing
I learned here." McNeilly cuts off a
reply from another question. "You
can play terrible, but if you win,
everything is fine. And you can play
fairly well, but if you make a couple
of mistakes, and you lose, they're
magnified,
"I mean, my freshman year. I
didn't play all that well. I did a few
things well, but I made tons of mis-
takes They were just completely
overlooked — by the media, by the
coaches, by everyone — because we
were winning.
"Last year, I made mistakes, and
when we lost, they got magnified."
McNeilly was 86 186 (.462), and
(brew 10 interceptions and two
touchdowns last season. In fact, last
year's results really weren't much dif-
ferent than his career statistics He's

An evening filled with memories
Matt
Vautour
The posters around the old
building bore a slogan that cap-
tured the feeling of the night.
"You can tear down the build-
ing, but not the memories"
Tuesday night was
a special one in the
Boston Garden, as
the old building
played host to its
final NHL game.
The Bruins hosted the Montreal
Canadiens, giving the Causeway
Street address a send off rich in
rivalry.
The Bruins won the game 5-0.
but in truth, nobody cared. The
focus Tuesday night was on the
memories.
The event emanated class from
the start Flach of the Bruin greats
that were honored served as
greeters as the fans entered the
arena. Following the game, the fans
watched as heroes from many eras
returned to the ice surface with the
quirky dimensions for the final
(line.
Many of those former stars
brought emotion from the crowd.
The flamboyant Don Cherry
looked more like Don King, when
he was announced
The always brash
coach raised his
arms to the crowd,
blowing kisses and
waving, as he strut-
ted across the ice in his red plaid
suit
Phil Ksposito was reminded that
he has always said the best years of
his career were in Boston. Fspo
corrected the interviewer,
"The best years of my life were
here in Boston and the greatest
thrill of my life was when Mr.
Bourque gave me my sweater "
Two former Bruin enforcers.
Terry O'Reilly and Stan Jonathan
returned to the place of their for-
mer glory. The two sat in the penal
ty box with foolish grins on their
faces recalling the old days.
O'Reilly had been in there so many
times that the franchise is giving
him the box.
Perhaps the most uplifting
moment of the night, was the
return to the Garden ice of
Norman Leveille. In the early
1980s, Leveille was a promising
young forward that lcK>ked to bring
excitement to Boston, but his
career was cut short by an
aneurism that left him disabled.
As Leveille wobbled to the ice,
the Garden crowd gave him a
standing ovation as Ray Bourque
helped him take his place among
the other Bruin greats.
Leveille is not a Hall of Famer or
even a former star, but last night
the Bruins family did not forget
him and that spoke volumes about
the franchise.
The loudest ovation of the night,
was appropriately reserved for the
man Fred Cusick intrexluced as the

Hurricanes facing dark future
Collegiate football has seen its ups and downs since
1985, but one thing that could always be counted on was
the success and consistency of the Miami Hurricanes. The
team of the 1980s finds itself unranked in both the AP Poll
and the VSA roday/OiN Poll for (he first time in a decade.
Last week's 15 7 loss to Virginia
Tech is only the tip of the iceberg for a
program that could be facing a dark
future, both on and off (he field. First of
(he potential troubles is the looming
possibility of NCAA probation. Scandal
has long been attached to (he Miaini
name. Whelher it be loan scams, illegal
pay (iffs, or questionable conduc(; controversy has tol-
lowed this program since the days of limmy lohnson.
In the past, the Canes off the field troubles had always
been silenced by their success on the field. Fven that is
not a given these days,
Miami simply does not have as talented a team as they
have had in past years. The injured Ryan Collins and
back up OB Ryan Clement, are not cut out I'f the same
mold as past Hurricane OB's. The loss of lames Stewart
to the draft and a rebuilt offensive line make for a less
than fonnidable running game. Perhaps the last link to the

Milanovich's suspensitm was lessened to

its first four contests without the star OB.
Milanovich returns for the Terps tonight
and his team is 4-0. While there are some
tough dates left on the schedule, Maryland
does not have to face N'irginia or Florida State until the final

Jewish community gets outreach coordinator
By Jocob W. Michoctt
ColUgian Staff
Although she will only be here for one year. Beth
Secwald is hoping to make a large impact.
The Cleveland. Ohio, native is here as the new
Outreach Coordinator for Hillel. She is one of 45
recent college graduates throughout the country
selected by the national Hillel organization to fill
this role,
"It's a position which was established by
national Hillel to try to connect unaffiliated
lewish students on campus with lewish life,
maybe through Hillel. or through events in dorms,
with Greek students, with first-year students,..'
Secwald said.
The Outreach Coordinator position, which was
begun at several other campuses last year, was
started by Richard |ocl. the international director
of Hillel.
Yehudit Heller, the assistant director of the
University of Massachusetts Hillel. said 'the
uniqueness of her position is in the fact that she is
not operating within Hillel. She's out there on the
campus, basically to be there as a Jewish contact
lor those that are interested in it and not always
walking into Hillel. but arc inlercsted in that envi-
ronment and identity."
Plans for the future
Secwald has a lot of plans to accomplish her
goals in her short time here.
One of her first ideas was setting up a mentoring
.system between first-year and upper-class lewish
students.
"It's a pairing up between upper-class Jewish
students with lewish freshmen, and through this
creating a system where Jewish students know

Other students." she explained, adding that the
mentors would not have to be involved with
Hillel,
She also is interested in getting together a
"Hebrew speaking group, so students who speak
Hebrew or want to practice can gel together and
hangout."
Another interest of hers is planning a
three-week trip to Israel during the Winter inters-
cssion through a program called Volunteers for

Higher education as a vital kc7 for
the success of individuals, and the
Republican approach to deficit
reduction were the basic themes of
yesterday's lecture by Professor
Joseph h. Stiglitz, chairman of the
President's Council of Economic
Advisers.
"It is no longer a question of
whether the deficit should be elimi-
nated, but how," Stiglitz said.
A deficit can stunt the long term
growth of an economy, he said.
Stiglitz said that the Clinton
administration has
succeeded in continu-
ing to reduce the
deficit for three
straight years, some-
thing which has not
been accomplished
by any other administration since
the Truman years.
He emphasized the importance of
cutting the budget but warned
against ovcrzealous slashing of pro
grams.
"There is a right way and wrong
way to reduce the deficit." Stiglitz
said. "Short sighted policies which
cut and slash programs indiscrimi
nately may be politically popular, but
have high prices "
Importance of education
According to Stiglilz. cuts in edu-
cation can lead to further declines in
the economy.
"I,ack of education has high costs."
Stiglitz said
He stressed the importance educa-
tion can play in the prevention of
growing income inequality.
He compared a study of income
inequality before the 1980s to watch-
ing the grass grow. In 1982. "some-
one started to mow the lawn uneven-
ly," said Stiglitz.
As wages remained unchanged or
declined, productivity was hurt,
according to Stiglitz.
He cited data which shows that a
college graduate earns ()5 percent
more then a high school graduate.
See related
story pg. 3.
and that even one year of college can
increase a person's income by 5- 1 J
percent.
An individual who has not graduat-
ed from high school is more likely to
commit a crime or what Stiglitz
refers to as "forced redistribution of
income."
He said that it is a tragedy that
the State of California spends more
on the criminal justice system then
they do on the higher education syi-
Icm,
Support for education
The Clinton administration is try-
ing to assist people who can not
afford a college educa-
tion, according to
Stiglitz
The administration
has attempted to
increase the availabili-
ty of loans, and
increase the amount of money avail-
able in grants, such as Pell Grants,
he said.
While the Clinton administration
attempts to increase the availability
of funds. Congress has increased
grant money while eliminating eligi-
bility of students from the program,
according to Stiglitz.
The Clinton administration started
direct loan programs to replace eiutt-
ing programs where the government
guarantees loans.
Stiglitz said that the new direct
loan program saves tax dollars.
flic investment in education would
pay off in the long run. he said,
because as more pc\>ple become edu-
cated, there is a rise in income, which
leads to increased tax revenues.
Stiglitz chastised the Republicans
fur proposing a bill which would lax
student loans. He said that the idea
"scx'ms contradictory."
The lecture took place before an
audience of over 120 people in
Memorial Hall yesterday at 4 p m.

WASHINGTON — In another milestone toward peace.
Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO chief
Yasser Arafat signed a historic agreement yesterday end-
ing Israel's military occupation of West Bank cities and
laying the foundation for a Palestinian state.
"We want you as good neighbors." the gravelly voiced
Rabin told Arafat, his onetime blood enemy.
"Enough killing and enough killing of iniKx;ent people."
Arafat declared to loud applause.
Under the glittering chandeliers of the East Room.
President Clinton presided over two hours of speeches
and pageantry before an audience of 200 diplomats, for-
eign ministers. Cabinet secretaries and members of
Congress. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and
lordan's King Hussein joined Clinton as witnesses to the
accord. Outside. Pennsylvania Avenue was turned into a
parking lot lor nearly two dozen VIP limousines.
"Chapter by chapter. lews and Arabs are writing a new
chapter for their ancient lands." Clinton said. Arafat and
Rabin both called on Syria and Lebanon to drop their
reluctance to join the peace process.
To worldwide acclaim. Arafat and Rabin signed a tortu
ously negotiated agreement for Israel lo relinquish control
of territory it captured from Jordan in the 1967 Six-Day
War.
The agreement outlines in painstaking detail the step
by-step withdrawal of Israeli forces and the transfer of
governing authority for Palestinian self-rule in 50 percent
of the West Bank, containing most of its Arab population.
The accord also allows for Palestinian elections.
The document — signed on a polished desk that once
belonged to Abraham Lincoln — was a follow-up to the
199 J White House agreement that brought Rabin and
Arafat together for a historic handshake of pciice.
"Please, take a good, hard look." Rabin told the
hushed audience. ""The sight you sec before you at this
moment was impossible, was unthinkable just three
years ago."
But Rabin also warned that peace could crumble unless
both sides unite against terrori.sts who are trying lo pre-
vent peace. "Don't let it happen," he implored.

Several University of
Massachusetts representatives were
in attendance at the State House in
Boston to receive recognition for the
academic achievements of University
departments.
The Washington-based National
Research Council ranked nearly '500
doctoral programs within the United
States in a recently released report.
Ten UMass departments placed with-
in the top third of the National
Research Council's study.
The linguistics and polymer sci-
ence and engineering departments
ranked fourth and seventh, respec-
tively. Other departments within the
top 100 include chemical engineer-
ing, computer science, electrical and
computer engineering, philosophy
and psychology,
David Stemple, head of the com-
puter science department, was one of
the University representatives in
attendance at the State House.
The computer science department
has a high volume of high quality
research, very active professors and is
almost 100 percent graduate support-
ed. Stemple feels that his department
has a broad base of quality, including
40 faculty researchers and 20 profes-
sors with tenure.
"Our department has been invest-
ed in. and it is now paying off." he
said. "But without continued invest-
ment we are headed down the tubes."
"It is very nice to be recognized."
Stemple said. "But I would be happi-
er if our faculty members received
their raises and our department was
not under heavy budgetary pressure."
The head of the psychology depart-
ment, Melinda Novak, who was also
at the State House, agreed with
Stemple. saying that she is also very
proud to receive this honor.
"The recognition by the National
Research Council has lifted the spir-
its of the department." she said. "It is
nice to actually be noticed. Hopefully
some resources will find their way to
our department because of this
recognition."
According to the report, both the
computer science and psychology
departments have earned their way to
this stature.
The computer science department
is rated at the same level as MIT and
Harvard, while the psychology
department employs several famous
professors, such as Susan Fisk and
Keith Rainer.
Since the academic programs have
been recognized at the State House,
they have had more visibility.
Stemple said that many local and
state persons were surprised that the
University had ten departments on

UMass Police hold bike registration
As of yesterday, '51 bikes had been stolen from campus
this month, lour were stolen on Wednesday.
To help alleviate the problem, the Security Division of
the Department of Public Safety will conduct bicycle reg-
istration sessions on campus from Oct. 2-6. 10 a.m. -2
p.m.
Bicycle security is a three-step process, said Officer
Lawrence Holmes of the University of Massachusetts
Police Department. Students are encouraged to register
their bike in the national registration, engrave their bike
and use a "high security" lock.
Auxiliary Services will be selling bike locks at the regis-
tration sites at a promotional price. The Ultra Bike Club
will cost $27 and the Kryptonite U-lock will be $37.
which is $10 less than the retail price, according to
Holmes.
The UMass Police Department will assist with free bicy
cle engraving.
"Pc-oplc don't steal things they can't sell." Holmes said.
Once a bicycle is registered with the McGruff Program,
a tamper resistant label is placed on the bike to indicate
that it is registered
The McGruff Program is administered on behalf of the
National Crime Prevention Council by the American
Center for Bicycle Registration. Once a bike is owner fills
out the application, which is available at Public Safety,
and pays the $5 fee, the bike is registered nationally.
"It is the hope of both agencies jihc UMass Police
Department and Auxiliary Services! that we'll reduce bike
ihefi at the University of Massachusetts." said Holmes.
The registration, which starts Monday, will take place
in the Student Union Circle. Oct. 2-^. Southwest Mall,
Oct, 4, Worcester Dining Hall, Oct. 5. and Franklin
Dining Hall. Oct. 6.
More than 15.000 bicycles are stolen every day in the
U.S. While 70 percent are recovered by law enforcement
agencies, only two to three percent arc returned to their
owners because the bikes are unregistered, according to a
brochure distributed by the McGruff Licensed Bicycle

place with the help of over 200 volunteers, is the
center's major annual fundraiser.
After a year's planning, the center expects to

Professor discusses economy's impact on education
By Matthew Wurlzel
Collegian Staff
Professor Joseph E. Stiglilz, chair-
man of the President's Council of
Economic Advisers, spoke about edu-
cation and various other economic
and political issues yesterday.
He commented on hot issues such
as Speaker of the House Newt
Gingrich's threat to default on bond
payments.
"Gingrich is blackmailing the
President by allempiing to attach
unrelated bills to the increas<:d debt
ceiling." said Stiglilz.
The increased debt ceiling must be
pa>scd in order to operate the gov-
emmenl. The president is opposed to
the bills the Republicans are attach-
ing to ihe ceiling, so by vetoing the
ceiling, the government will default
on the bonds.
When a country or company
defaults on a bond, they neglect to
pay the interest which was promised
to the lender.
The whole idea jof defaulting on
bonds] would be devastating," he
said. "Doing this would make the
deficit worse."
Stiglitz said people would lose
faith in the security of the bonds,
causing a decrease in demand, which
would lead to higher interest on
bonds. The higher interest would
make the deficit worse. Stiglitz said.
There would be chaos in the finan
cial markets because State Pension
programs — a large buyer of govern-
ment bonds — would no longer be
able to buy bonds because they are
barred from buying risky invest-
ments. Stiglitz said.
"This has occurred in the past, and
been resolved." said Stiglilz. "So the
problem will probably be adverted
again."
Stiglitz also commented on a
recent College Board report which
said co^ts of attending a four year
college have continued to skyrocket.
"The jClintonj administration
can't directly affect prices colleges
charge, but we are trying to increase
Pell Grants and loan programs,"
Stiglitz said.
The rate of increases in wages
shows how much a family can afford
to spend when ihoy consider whether
they can send a child to college, he
said.
"The bottom 40 percent has seen
wages stagnate,' said Stiglitz. "So
they are caught in a bind*
He said the Republicans have not
helped lower-income families.
"The irony is (thalj while the
Republicans propose to lower taxes
for higher income people, such as the
capital gains tax, they are proposing
to increase taxes in various other
areas," Stiglitz said, who describes
the Republican plan as an attempt to
reshape taxes.
'They are reshaping taxes in a way
where increasing on the most vulner-
able, and reducing taxes on the high-
er income who have had a bonanza,*
Stiglitz said.

Until Question 9 was passed
last November. Amherst was one
of four Massachusetts cities that
had rent control.
The 'Community Empowemtent
Act,' a law which is being pro-
posed by initiative petition to give
Massachusetts towns and cities
more control, will be the featured
topic on Sunday's edition of
"Focus' on WMUA (91.1 FM).
airing at noon.
Ken Mosakowski. head of the
Amherst Housing Authority, will
host the live 60-minute forum.
His guests will be Ken Eisenberg,
Anne Macaulay and Steve Orzack,
all of whom are from the
Cambridge-based group Political
Action for Community
Empowerment (PACE). PACE is
attempting to get the "Community
Empowerment Act' on the ballot
for November of 1996.
The proposed law would enable
cities and towns to respond to one
of several types of "emergencies"
with a two- thirds vote, as opposed
to the three-fourths vote currently
required, according to Eisenberg.
"The deck is always stacked
against community.' he said. They
should have the option to say 'no."
Those "emergencies" are: the
overexpansion of tax-exempt
institutions: speculative develop-
ment of undeveloped land;
over-extensive housing develop-
ment that overwhelms local
resources; the displacement of
renter households by evictions.
rent increases, or condominium
conversion; the k)ss of sirull-scale
businesses in town centers; the
loss of federal and state support
for housing low-income house-
holds and the loss of historically
valued sites. *
Cambridge, for example, has
been concerned for decades with
the encroachment of institutions,
such as Harvard, according to
Eisenberg. He said residents are
displaced, not only by eviction,
but, in some cases, by rent
increases of up to 5(X} percent.
They just kept acquiring land...
and eventually they started push-
ing people out.' Eisenberg said.
The infrastructures — fire
departments, sewer and water sys-
tems, and school systems — of
other communities "can't keep up
with the increase in growth,'
Eisenberg said.
'Some communities are just
being overwhelmed... and don't
have the mechanism to slow it
down* Eisenberg said. 'By setting
a cap on building permits, they
would be enabled to do this."
Other communities, such as
Woods Hole on Cape Cod, are
opposed 10 franchises. However,
according to Eisenberg. "It is very
rare, when pressure is put on a
planning board |or| a zoning
board... that a neighborhood or
community {resolution to down-
size)... will be passed by a
three-fourth vote of a legislative
body."
Eisenberg said incentives for
big business, such as jobs, "don't
usually pan out in ihe long run."

rience was a trip to Israel before her
senior year of high school.
*1 guess that was the first thing
that really sparked my interest in
doing things fewishly,' she explained.
'Honestly it's really hard to put my
finger on it. Being in a lewish country
with lewish people... It was an
incredible experience. I came back
being really proud of being lewish. It
was an excitement that I didn't have
as much before I went.'
She continued to be involved at
Emory, working as an intern at the

Israeli consulate in Atlanta, as a stu-
dent representative for Volunteers for
Israel and being involved in
pro-Israel activism.
After she graduated last year,
Seewald went to Israel on a
10-month volunteer program called
Project Olzma. From there she was
hired to work as an outreach coordi-
nator.
Seewald said she was thinking of
going into lewish communal service
after her year at UMass or moving to
Israel and teaching English.

IsAeasuring the wealth of nations
Conser\ation is usually identified with the presei^a-
lion of natural resources. These resources can be
narrowly defined as reserves of commodities that
have an appreciable value to man.
For example, a person who owns property with timber
resources may want to use the revenue generated from
timber sales to build a farm or a factory, thus liquidating
an asset. This scenario examines the net gain of all
resources involved. However, this is not what nations do
when measuring Gross Domestic Product (GDP), or the
wealth of their country. They will
calculate revenue frotn the factory,
but not the loss of depleted forest
reserves.
We all hold different attitudes
about what constitutes wealth in a
society. The notion of wealth, though
relative acruss diverse cultures, is typ-
ically measured in per-capita income.
Given this, the tiny South American
nation of Suriname, with barely
one -quarter the per-capiia income of
the United Slates, is extremely poor.
However, there exists a new way of
defining wealth that considers the
aspects of Suriname's forests,
iron-ore deposits, factories and
human resources. By this measure, the
small nation is nearly as prosperous,
or wealthy, as the U.S.
Last week, the World Bank
released a report entitled "Monitoring tnvironmental
Progress." which showed that a nation's wealth includes
much more than income, and providing for a sustainable
future requires using all the elements of a nation's wealth
— economic, social and environmental.
Much has been written about the dynamic, albeit
vague, concept of sustainabilily. It is an idea whose time
has come, yet a concept that is difficult to define and
arguably impossible to execute. Some believe sustainabil-
ily means leaving the water, air and soil as pure and
unpolluted as belxjrc. although this definition precludes
any production process. Others argue wc should leave
the future population the option or capacity to be as well
off as we arc now. Unfortunately, there is no way to
determine wiih certainty the tastes, needs and prefer-
ences of future generations.
The World Bank study redefines the concept of sustain-
able development, arguing it has less to do with tnecting
present and future needs than with making sure future
Others argue we
should leave the future
the option or capacity
to be as well off as we
are. Unfortunately,
there is no way to deter-
mine with certainty the
tastes, needs and prefer-
ences of future genera-
tions.

generations have as much or more capital to create jobs
and income as they have now.
"This new system challenges conventional thinking by
looking at wealth, and not just income, in determining the
growth strategies of countries." according to Ismail
Serageldin. the World Bank's vice president for environ-
mentally sustainable development.
In addition to natural capital (the economic value of
land, water, forests and natural resources) and human
resources (the productive capacity of a nation's popula-
^^^^_^^^^ tion). a nation's wealth derives from
produced assets (factories and infra-
structure) and social capital (the still
unmeasured value of collective orga-
nizations like families and communi-
ties).
Based on this. Canada and
Australia, with small populations
and immense natural capital, are the
world's wealthiest nations.
However, countries like lapan and
Switzerland, which have only mod-
est endowments of natural capital,
also rank high in wealth because
they invest far more than most coun-
tries in human resources and pro-
duced assets.
The World Bank report challenges
the view taken by many strict conser-
vationists who say countries must pre-
serve their natural resources at all
costs. Conversely, the study argues that a prudent swap-
ping of natural resources for revenue to invest in human
resources and produced assets may increase a nation's
wealth.
John O'Conncr. the principle author of the report, wrote,
"The drawing down of some natural resources is neither a
positive or a negative phenomenon. It depends on what
money from such sales is used for. buying imported luxury
cars or educating girls." This idea means being less con-
cerned with cash flow at any given moment and more con-
cerned with sustaining and increasing a country - net
worth.
Economic logic needs to be considered with conserva-
tion measures to some degree, as well as ethical con-
cerns and biological and sociological perspectives, in
order to sustain the overall wealth of nations.
Measurements such as these are clearly a step in the
right direction.

The mighty powerful France
Five years ago. I was in
Washington paying a visit
to the French Consulate. It
was two months before West and
East Germany were to reunify,
and there was said to be a certain
level of anxiety in Voltaire's
Republic that Germany's past
aggression against France would
resume.
"No, no, no." insisted the gov-
ernment's nervous spokesman.
"Wc really like the Germans. In
fact, they come and visit us every
30 years or so."
This defeatist, passive attitude
about France's place in the world
— a weakened, saond-rate indus-
trial democracy whose glory days
were long past — had been the
norm for several years, and contin-
ued to be so until just last fall.
Who would have expected the
bizarre emergence of a nationalis-
tic, racially-frustrated, militarily
belligerent France?
In a single day's edition earlier
this month, the iVeu' York Times
ran the following headlines; "A
Wary France Cracks Down on Its
Muslims." "France Expels 30
Illegal Aliens." "French Police Fight
Rioters in Tahiti." and. at the cen-
ter of all this. "Despite Wave of
Protest. France Defends Pacific
Nuclear Test."
Most Americans can never
remember which 'five nations are
considered nuclear powers by
treaty. The United States. Russia.
China — those arc the easy ones.
Israel. Pakistan, and India also
have capability. But few think of
fallen France as deserving nuclear
might.
These new "tests" aren't about
anything but the fact that
President lacqucs Chirac wants to
remind the world that France has
the ability to seriously damage its
neighbors. Chirac's message:
France is back.
The world became complacent
about France during the 14 years of
Francois Milterand's bland version
of socialism. Paris was content to
take a back seat during the Cold
War battles of the 1980s, and in the
1990s economic problems bogged
down Mitterand. a man of limited
talents.
Jacques Chirac, on the other
hand, is best described as the Pat
Buchanan of France. His rhetoric
has always been anti- Immigrant,
ami-poor and anti-homeless.
Meanwhile back in
Paris. Chirac took a
hint from Buchanan
and Pete Wilson and
began arresting random
immigrants. About
800,000 North Africans
have been detained by
French police so far,
merely because of the
color of their skin.
Peter Orvetti
While mayor of Paris. Chirac
authorized draconian measures to
"deal with" homclessness.
But he ran for president as a dis-
ciple of the Bob Dole Postulate: If
you seek the presidency enough
times, eventually you will become
the frontrunner. In his third run for
France's highest office. Chirac was
polling last place among the major
contenders. When the frontrunner's
faltering coincided with the success
of Chirac's hard-right oratory.
Chirac shot into first place. Still, he
was elected by a very narrow mar-
gin, given a majority by voters who
were holding their noses.
Chirac immediately decided to
ignore the country's economic cri-
sis, and instead came up with a
sideshow: he'd detonate some
nukes near Tahiti. (The tests are
also close to American Samoa,
leading Samoa's Congressional
delegate to call for full sanctions
on all French goods.) Even 60
percent of French citizens oppose
the tests. But the nukes did get
their minds off their empty wal-
lets.
When Tahitian protests turned
violent on Sept. 6, French colonial
police fired tear gas. The nuke tests
were just the catalyst; Tahiti has
long resisted the patrician French
rule.
Meanwhile, back in Paris.
Chirac took a hint from Buchanan
and Pete Wilson and began arrest-
ing random immigrants. About
800.000 North Africans have been
detained by French police so far.
merely because of the color of
their skin.
The official reason is fear of
bombings. There is a civil war
going on in Algeria, a former
French territory. France's ties to
Algeria were closer than any other
colonial power to any colony, and
people have continued to move
back and forth between the two
countries relatively freely, even
after Algerian independence.
Paris fears that Algerian militants
will carry the war onto French
soil.
A 2 1 -year-old female art stu-
dent was followed by police, sur-
rounded in a train station, and
detained for 15 minutes. "People
were coming out of the station
looking at me with three policemen
with guns and sticks... I am sure
they would not have stopped a
blue-eyed blonde."
This woman was slopped
because of her "dark complex-
ion." That's how French newspa-
pers describe the criteria for
detainment. "If you come through
an airport or a train station, all
eyes are on you." said Mostafa
Zeroual of the Association for
Algerian Friendship. "People are
picked up according to their com-
plexion or because they have
frizzy hair."
Chirac, in 1995. has brought the
world a Brave New France.
Meanwhile, in the United Stales.
10 percent of Republicans say they
will vole for Pal Buchanan to be
our president in 1996.

offs, and the whole

So why bother? Why lake the risk?
One word: power. Henry Kissenger
once called power, "the ultimate
aphrodisiac." For that, otherwise
rational, peace loving, sophisticated
people, will turn into rabid,
back-stabbing, lying, cheating, para-
noid, hate mongers, who would
stomp their own in order to get to the
front of the line. They'll use every
dirty trick in the book, and even
make up a few new ones, to get the
key to 1 600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
This is where the American voter
finds themselves in a bit of a quandary.
We want a nice guy to be in charge,
but unfortunately nice guys don't win
federal elections. They get beaten to a
pulp and cast by the roadside in such a
state that even the vultures won't have
anyihing to do with ihcm.
You need the heart of a pit viper,
the conscience of a killer, and the
blood lust and battle savvy of a kick-
boxer to be the last one standing on
election night. A quick look at elec-
tions past says it all. Where are the
nice guys of yesteryear? Mondale?
Dukakis? Anderson? They're doing
the junior college lecture circuit or
running lor city council.
The sinister prevails where ihe ami-
able fail. Doing the "right" thing
means you can't always do the "nice"
thing. Don't forget that "nice guy" Bill

the river for his share of
the pie when he was
governor of Arkansas.

share of no-goodniks as well. Dole?
Gramm? Wilson? Standing next to
each other, these guys look about as
friendly as the bounty hunters from
The F.mpire Strikes Rack, each one
trying to out scowl the other.
But. what about, arguably, this
years "nicest" potential candidate,
Colin Powell? Don't let that polished,
media- friendly image fool you He's
a pro. there's no doubting that. He
certainly looks warm and cuddly
schmoozing up to such TV news
icons as Katie Couric and Larry King,
but don't forget he's been doing this
a long time and he's very good at it.
He's served with two presidents and
he knows how to play the game. He's
also a career soldier and soldiers
don't typically get promoted for giv-
ing out a lot of warm fuzzys.
So, are all of these potential presi-
dents bad? Should we ignore them ali
and just not show up to the polls in
November? Hardly. Everyone above
is qualllicd for the job They've all
been within the power structure long
enough to know how it works. They
have their contacts, their friends,
their enemies.
They are all very intelligent.
Cynical as I am. I ■>till think they hon-
estly believe in what they propose It
may be short- sighted, unreulisllc. or
downright wrong, but they believe it
would work. Who knows? It might.
So. who to vole for? Well, we need
not worry about that quite yet. It's a
long year ahead and anything, any-
thing can happen. All the names
aren't even in the hat vet and they've
only started slinging mud with the lit-
tle shovels so far. Wait until they
bring the big ones out — that's when
the fun K-gins.
Watch these guys. Not out of para-
noia or overt suspicion, but sinipiv
because they bear watching. They
don't mind covering up. bending the
truth, or lying outright in order to get
a vote. When a candidate attacks
something, think aKnjt what he's not
attacking. When one is defending
something, think about who would
benefit, and who would be hurt by the
outcome. When vou hear the latest
buzzword, think for a second about
what phrases like "family values" real-
ly mean. And when all of America's
woes are blamed on a single institu
lion, group of people, or a n'lual thai
is or isn't being conducted, think
about how realistic that line of think-
ing is.
So. <lon'l be afraid to tell the

*96 could be the year
John
Harrigan
The U.S. government was overthrown a long lime
ago by means of bribery. Will Rogers said. "We've
got the best government can buy." Our economic
system is proof of this. We're playing under a set of rules
bought with bribes.
If we were governing ourselves, would we let business-
men raise prices whenever they wish and fire us for
demanding a raise in order to keep up? Would we let
ihem close their factories and move away, leaving us with-
out our pensions?
Would wc let a few families accumulate fortunes of
uncountable billion*, then tell us that we
still owe them $4 trillion in something
called the "National Debt?" And is this the
reason the richest country in the world
doesn't have the money for school repairs,
libraries or the social benefits that
Europeans enjoy, such as National Health Insurance?
Government of. by and for the people has perished from
this earth. Abe. Yes. little kids, your social studies teachers
are slingin' it. They'd get fired if they told you the truih
about this country.
How did a rich minority of less than one percent take
over the U.S.? They did it by dividing us up into while
and colored, male and female, employed and unemployed,
new immigrant and old immigrant, liberals and conserva-
tives, jailed and non-jailed, pro-life and pro-choice, etc.
jay Gould, Ihe old briber whom Cornelius Vanderbill
called "the smartest man on Wall Street" said he could
pay half the working people to lock-up the other half.
Today we've got small towns all across America begging
their state governments to locate a prison in their town
because they need jobs.
Another way the rich took over was by bribing the
news media and colleges to keep us misinformed and
uninformed. Wliat daily newspaper ever lold us our gov-
ernment was conducting a terror campaign in Central
America since 1954, torturing, killing and disappearing
union organizers and other activists? What college told
American workers how badly they have been
flim-nammcd by the economic "experts?"
The gap between rich and poor gets worse every year
with no end in sight. Prices no longer have any relation
ship to cost of production. The Government has given the
rich a blank check and we're paying for it.
Alright, so what to do? Well, we still have the vote. In the
past we've let the rich select our candidates
for prcsidcni. senator and congressman and
let their newsmedia sell them to us. F"or '96.
we've got to ignore the propaganda on
behalf of Clinton. Dole. Gramm. Wilson.
Buchanan. Forbes. Pea>t. Powell, etc.
We have to form a group in each state and select our
own candidates for prcsidcni and congress. It would proh
ably be best to run ihem as independents.
What do we have to gain by taking majority control ot
Ihis government?
I An end to U.S. terrorism in other countries.
2. Control of our economy.
3. Full employment.
4. An end lo homclessness.
5. An end to inflation, depressions and recessions.
6. An end to the crime wave.
7. An end to torture, beatings and rape in U.S. prisons.
8. A government thai has quality of life as its moving
lorce — not money and power.
9. An end to domination by a few absurdly rich families.
10. Freedom for ourselves and our children.

Professor to hold tribute recital
By h4alhalie Scriba
Collegian Correspondent
Professor Nigel Coxe will present a
recital tilled Suites. Fantasies and
Other Delights this Saturday, at 8
p ni. in Bezanson Hall.
Coxe builds his recitals around a
concept, in the process bringing
together seemingly disparate com-
posers. This year's theme is rooted in
the influence that |.S. Bach exerted
over later composers.
The program includes Bach's
"French Suite No. I," 'Fantasy and
Fugue in A minor." Debussy's "Suite
Pour le Piano." Bartok's
"ImproNisations" along with Chopin's
"Faniasie (Op. 49)" and "Nocturne
(Op. 55)."
Prior to the performance of each
work, Coxe will speak with the audi-
ence about the music, focusing on the
historical significance, important
musical features, and how he person-
ally feels about the work. During
these times, the audience will learn
why these particular pieces were cho-
sen for inclusion in the recital. For
example, Coxe will demonstrate how
Bach's "Fantasy" inspired Chopin's
"Faniasie."
While Debussy's "Suite" pays
homage to the Baroque period and
Bach's work, it also looks forward to
the Modern period. Also. Bartok's
"Improvisations" contain an elegy to
the memory of Debussy.
The concert is dedicated to the
memory of Tom Malone. who studied
piano with Coxe at the University of
Massachusetts. Malone, a piano tech-
nician, worked with artists such as
Leonard Bernstein and Malcolm
Frager. He was also responsible for
the care of pianos at Williams, Mount
Holyoke and Amherst Colleges. A
well-known piano tuner and crafts-
man, Malone published many arti-
cles, the most recent of which was in
the Cavalier in May. Malone died in
luly at the age of 42.
Professor Coxe's recital will take
place on Saturday. Sept. JO at 8 p.m.
in Bezanson Recital Hall on the
.Amherst Campus of the University of
Massachusetts. The concert is open
and free to the public, though dona-
tions can he made to a college fund
for the son of Tom Malone.

Are you ready for a night of dancing'.' Then venture

ing up the autumn night with the skunkie^l ska lunes
around.
This Boston-based band is one of the must
acclaimed ska hands in the world The esleemed
New Musical Express went as far us to name them
the best American ska acl. For the last decade, the
band has propelled ihcii tlub going audiences to
skank ii up on the dance floor, and tonight will he no
different.
Almost 10 years ago. ihe band released their
self-titled debut album. Since then they have gone on
to release four more lull lengths. Two years ago. the
acclaimed "Live At The Paradise" hit the stores and
became an instant hit with ska fans everywhere as the
CD successfully captured the band's live leel.
Lead by vocalist Dan V'itale and trombonist Vinnie
Nobile. the hand has toured the United Stales almost
couerMT m iicoaos
ciKJiessly. So far they have taken their ska attack to 25
Mates and lUO major cities. No small feat for a band
that still releases their own records.
From 1 98)*- 1 492. the band monopolized the ska
scene in Beantown as they won the prize for "Best
local reggae/ska acl" at both the Boston Music
Awards and the Boston Phoenix/WFNX best music
poll. While the Mighty. Mighty Bosstones receive all
Ihe attention and praise. Bim Skala Bim are the true
ska heroes from Boston.
With ihc recent popularity surge of both the
Ikissiones and Rancid, ska seems to be reluming to the
radio airwaves for the first time since the late I970»
when bands like the Specials and Madness rode their
skanking tunes to stardom. Hear for yourself tonight
why many consider Bim Skala Bim to be one of the
best ska bands around anywhere. See you on the dance
lloor.

Check out the funk in NoHo
By Aaron Brandes
Collegian CorretpondenI
You know Maceo Parker. Even if you don't think you
know Maceo. you do. He is funk, but he is more than
funk — Maceo Parker is music.
Maceo started his career playing with "Ihe Godlather
of Soul." lames Brown Me occasionally blew the tenor
saxophone for Brown's horn section from I9t)4 to I*)?'}.
Eventually he became the co-director of "The
Godfather's" horn section. The two of them together
helped shape the sound now called funk.
Maceo left the fames Brown Biind to join up with a
whole crew of the funkiest nouI-- on planet earth. George
Clinton, Bootsy Collins, and all Ihe rcNl of "The P-Funk
Allslars." had the privilege of hearing Miicco's sweet saxo-
phone melt with theirs, creating an out of this-world
groove. Maceo also joined George Clinton's "Molhership
Connection" in 1975. Dcce-Lite featured him on her pre-
miere album Tribe Called Quest, Arrested Development,
Dr. Dre, and just about every other notable hip-hop musi-
cian samples Maceo Parker's 'one chord groove-oriented
sound."
Maceo is music, and he is still putting out solo albums
with that same high quality funk he owned back in the
day. In the spirit of lames Brown or The P-Funk Allstan,
Maceo's albums just do not do him the same justice as his
live performance. To truly 'free your mind so thai your
ass will follow," Maceo is a must-see.
So forget about eating, forget about sleeping, forget
about studying, forget about everything except that Maceo
Parker is going lo be in Northampton. Get your tickets
now and check out this living legend of funk and I'll be
there to see you freaking your bodies lo the ffffunk that
only Maceo knows.
Maceo Parker plays Pearl Street this Sunday night.
Tickets are $12. 50 in advance and the doors open at 8:00
p.m. Call the club for more details.

To the Eagles" credit they hustled
and played hard the entire match, but
they were overmatched and obviously
intimidated.
The only bright spot for B.C. was
the play of sophomore two-meter
man, Steve Yap. Yap tallied four of
the five Boston College points scoring
one two-pointer and a pair of singles.
Brian Galdorisi. a sophomore dri-
ver, scored the Eagles' first goal of
the match with 2:35 left in the third
quarter. Yap followed up that with
his first goal as B.C. controlled most
of the third quarter after Y'arworth
emptied his bench.
When the victory was in hand,
freshman Carlos Mendez scored five

In no way, shape or lonii would I
ever claim to be an expert on the

Washington trade just makes no
sense on the Cleveland side.
Price, when healthy, is the game's
top three-point gun and free-throw
king. In exchange the Cavs' will
receive the Bullets No. 1 pick, but with
a lineup thai will feature Price. Chris
Webber, juwan Howard. Calherl
Cheaney and Rasheed Wallace, the
Bullets should lum heads ihis sea.son

,Now that the FIcetCenter is open
for business, the sole archaic stadium
left in Beanlown is the grand old
park on Yawkey Way. On
Wednesday, equally ancient manager
Sparky Anderson said his linal
farewell to Fenway, which is also
rumored to be on its wa> out.
Camden Yards might be a wonder-
ful place that looks as if Babe Ruth
might have played there, but there's a
difference. He didn't. You could build
every feature into a park, but you
can't build a park that comes wiih
history. Anderson alluded to this.
"This is Ted Williams' house and he
was the greatest hitter wht.> ever li^ed.
What people love here is not the ball
park, but they envision the guys who
have played here for the past 70 \cars.
When they look out at this park, they
remember the great ones who were
out there. They'll never be able lo get
thai in the new parks. You have lo
have them, but one part you lose is
what you have here and at Wrigley
Field and Detroit."
What is true for ballparks is true
for arenas as well. The FleetCenter
might have every luxurious feature
imaginable, but Beibby Orr and Larrx
Bird never played there. It will never
equal the old bam.

Men's tennis achieves iandmaric
By Jameson hieos
Collegion StaH
After never beating rival UConn
belore. Massachusetts men's tennis
coach ludy Dixon expected a close
match where her team would have to
play their best to win. What she did
not expect was a 6- 1 drubbing of the
Huskies to extend UMass' winning
streak to five games.
"This was the best win that I have
ever had as a coach at the University.
This is my third year with the men's
team and this is the best leant we
have ever beaten and we beat ihem
decisively." she said.
Senior co-captain Justin Lynn and
sophomore Alex Aller started the day
off at No. I doubles by defeating
Rich Saxe and .Mitch Kat? 8-5.
Freshman Todd Cheney and junior
Ryan Ginley followed at No. 5 dou-
bles where their dominance ended as
they lost 8-4 to Alex Orbanonski and
Vinny Riccobono. Their record
dropped lo 5-1.
With the weight of the doubles
point on their shoulders. Gregor
Rummel and freshman Mike Skeels
pulled out a close match at No. 2
doubles o\cr Adam Tardif and .Andy
Graham by the score of 8-i to secure
the first point of the day.
"The doubles started us off in great
shape." Dixon explained. "I have lo
say that it makes a huge difference in
coming intu the singles. Thev didn't
play great but they refused to come
off the court without a vi,.iory."
Lynn returned tii No. I singles
wiiii a vengeance alter playing No. 2
singles against Whcaton. He whipped
Saxe off the court in less than an
hour with a 6- I. 6-1 victory lo
improve his record to 4-2. Rummel
continued in ihc same fashion at No.
2 by disposing Katz b-1. 6-2 lo bring
his winning streak to five.
With only one more point needed
to lock up the win. victory seemed
imminent, but Di.ion still felt ihai the
match was in jeopardy.
"1 knew we had three points, but I
thought we could win this match 7-0
or we could lose it 4-3. It was that
close because we were in a couple of
three set matches and in two matches
we were up a set. but down in the
second set. This match was so close
that we could come out of this with a
huge score that looked like we just
dominated or we could siill lose."
In a surprise at No. 6 singles,
freshman lason Blind took over for
Senior co-captain Darren Tow. Blind
had defeated Tow the day before lo
warrant his slot in the lineup and he
came through with a tough 7-6
(7-2). 6-3 victory over Drew
Broderik in his first varsity match. At
No. 5 singles another freshman. Todd
Cheney followed with a 7-5. 6-4
struggle over Graham to leave his
record at 5- 1 .
With the match in hand. Ankur
Baishya fell in a grueling loss at No. 5
singles 6-2. 4-6. 3-6 to Eric
Engstrom. In another three set
match Aller battled Tardif at No. 4
singles. Afler being down 5-2 in the
firsl set. Aller came back to lake the
SCI and go on to win 7-5. 4-6. 7-5 to
keep his record unblemishc'd at 6-0
Dixon was ecstatic afier the game
and was confident heading into her
final two matches of the fall.
"I think there is something about
being confident and feeling that even
if your down 5-4. you are still going
to win and I think that is what I fell
today. Y'ou can't underestimate their
growing confidence right now "
The Minutemen look to improve
their 5-1 record al New Hampshire

This weekend, the University of
Massachusetts women's volleyball
team dives further into its Atlantic
10 schedule in a three match
homesland in the Curry Hicks
cage
The Minutewomen (8-6) look
to improve on their II .A- 10
record afler meeting with mixed
results in their conference open
er last weekend.
Massachusetts got off on the
right foot blanking St.
Bonaveniure. but later they were
victims of a Duquesne upset.
On Friday al 7 p.m.. the
Minutewomen face fierce rivals,
the Temple Owls (5-6). This
maich pits UMass coach Bonnie
Kenny against her former college
coach ai the University of
Tennessee. B<.>b Beriucci.
"We got annihilated by ihem
last year at their place, then anni-
hilated them at home, so I'm
expecling a close match." Kenny
said.
Once again, junior outside hit-
ler Giza Rivera will have lo watch
from the sidelines
Rivera, one of UMass" strongest
impact players, both offensively
and defensively, is injured with
lorn ankle ligaments and is
expi'cled to be out a minimum ol
one to two more weeks
Despite the loss of Rivera.
Kenny feels that the younger play-
ers on Ihe team have stepped up
their level o( play. Freshman set-
ter Katie Pearce has seen
increased lime on the floor and
classmate Leslie Hartlen has fiad
lo move from the middle to the
outside blocking slot
It is versatility such as this
which has allowed ihe
Minutewomen to keep iheir edge
while they are forced to play with-
out Rivera.
"When you lake somivne out of
the picture like Giza. there is not
the comfort ol knowing exactly
where the ball is going." Kenny
said. "We have to defend against
the outside attack and control the
ball, challenging them al the back
court."
On Saturday, the Lady Rams
(2-9) come lo the Cage for a
firsl ever UMass-Fordham match
up
"Physically, we're a little bigger
and quicker at the net. II we play
like we did against Northeastern,
we should win. Kenny added.
"We can't let someone come into
our gym and work harder on
defense."
As for Saturday evening's
match against LaSalle (2-101.
Kenny believes the key to victory
is once again defense The
Minutewomen met the Explorers
iwo years ago and blanked them
in ihree games.
On paper. Massachusetts is big
ger and deeper and hopes for a
repeal of Iheir last meeling
sports notice
The UMass women's tennis team will also be in action this
weekend at the Upper Boyden courts as they take on New
Hampshire this Saturday at 1 p.m.

In lordan's firsl three career games as a

129 yards, including his first career touchdi>wn
"My role basically is lo give them a rest when
they need it. and when they need a bigger guy in

when I do get in there. 1 like to do my best and
benefit the team any way I can."

"jThe firsl touchdownj felt good It was a long

/ Ve noticed how unkind life
can be to people. They don't
have any real chance to change
thihgs for themselves.
They work hard. Others push
them and they push themselves
squeezing every useful minute out
of each day. They try not
to waste the smallest hand
movement which they must make
to earn a living.
They struggle.
They live quietly as a family in
their homes on their streets. At
night the men and women hug each
other in bed trying to help. The
children lie still, dreaming, not
knowing what their fate really is.
I care about these people, but
not too much.

Soccer programs take to the road to face their coaches' old teams
■ Men make trip to Palo Alto for Stanford Classic ■ Women head to sunshine state for 2 key games
By Mike Corey
Collegian Corespondent
The University of Massdchuscils men's soccer team is
looking to rebound today after a 4-1 defeat against
Hartford on TucNday. They are on the west coast for the
weekend to play San Francisco this afternoon, and
Stanford on Sunday.
The big story, however, is that the Minutcmen will have
to do without the services of senior midfielder Karsten
Bremke. and junior defensive back |oe lacobson. Neither
players made the trip out west.
Bremke was injured in Tuesday's loss to Hartford when
he caught a cleat from goaltender Christian DiCienova
while attempting to score, lacobson was inactive in the
last two games for the Minutemen as he is nursing a torn
tendon in his right arm.
Goalkeeper Eric Gruber is also questionable for this
weekend's matchc-s as he had to be helped off the field on
Tuesday when he was clipped, and injured his left leg.
Whether Gruber will start in goal this weekend de[X'nds
on how he feels after practice.
Today. Massachusetts Coach Sam Koch will return to
his old stomping grounds in Stanford, where he coached
for six years before coming to UMass. Stanford comes
into today's match with a mark of 3-4. while the
Minutcmen stand at 6-3-1. Stanford in not much of a
scoring threat as they have only scored more than one
goal once this season and also have been shut out once.
They have given up 1 1 goals this season, while only scor-
ing eight. Stanford is riding a three- game losing streak
into today's contest.
On Sunday, the Minutcmen will face the San Francisco
Dons and coach Steve Negoesco. who. with 496 wins, is
the winning-est coach in NCAA soccer history. San
Francisco has a record of 5-2-1. scoring 16 goals and
only giving up eight.
Chris McDonald is the player to take into consideration
for the Dons. He has 10 points on the year with four goals,
and two assists. The probability of a UMass victory will
rest on playing good defense in shutting down McDonald,
along with the rest of the San Francisco offense, which
has four other players with five or more points.
UMass has outshot opponents I>ti-I33 this season,
and have scored 25 goals while allowing 17. lunior Dave
Siljanovski, with six goals, leads the way in scoring for the
Minutemen.
As UMass hopes to put the poor showing against
Hartford behind them, defense will be the key. High scor-
ing affairs this weekend is not to UMass' advantage as all
of UMass' wins except one have come when holding
opponents to one goal or less a game.

Freshman Paul Corcoran and the UMass men's soccer team will try not to get pushed around this weekend
when they travel to California to take part in the Stanford Classic.
The Massachusetts women's soccer
team surely will not have to worry
about playing in rainy weather this
weekend, as it heads to sunny Florida
for two key match-ups.
The Minutewomen. who have
played two of three home games in
the rain, will play Colorado College
on Saturday at 1 1 a.m. and Central
Florida on Sunday at 1 p.m.
Neither team is nationally ranked,
but both are expected to pose a for-
midable challenge to the
Minutewomen. The two teams played
each other yesterday, but the rest. Its
were not available as of press time.
Colorado College, according to
Massachusetts coach |im Rudy, "is
off to its best start in recent years."
and because the Tigers played UCF
yesterday in Orlando, they will be
more acclimated to the weather than
the Minutewomen.
Against CC, UMass will have to
watch out for sophomore forward
Martina Holan, who has three
game-winning goals. On the season,
Holan has eight goals and one assist
for 1 7 points.
"She's a dangerous player," Rudy
said. "She's rated as a very good
one-on-one player."
Amy Snyder can also score for the
Tigers, as she has four goals and
three assists for 1 1 points.
in goal for Colorado could be
either Robyn Bilski or Audrey
Maxfield. Bilski started the first Ave
games of the season, winning them
all. while Maxfield started the last
two. and lost them both.
Bilski was impressive in her five
starts giving up only four goals for an
0.89 goals-against-average with two
shutouts. In her three games of
action. Maxfield shared a shutout.
UCF. the team which Rudy
coached before he came to UMass in
1988. comes in with a 5-2-2 record.
Amy lones is the leading scorer for
the Golden Knights with 22 points
on nine goals and four assists. Three
of her nine goals arc game-winners.
Also posing a threat to score lor
UCF will be Jennifer O'Connor and
Kelly Stout. O'Connor is second on
the team in scoring with 17 points
(six goals, five assists) and Stout is
third with 1 5 points (four, five)
In goal for the Golden Knights
should be Alyssa O'Brien, who has
started eight game!>. O'Brien has one
shutout and sports a 1.66 GAA.

Football ready for Rams' air assault
Jordan learning, looking to future
By Mike Brown
CoHegton Staff
College football teams fluctuate
talent-wise from year to year.
Some years, recruiting classes are
more talented than others. Some
years, recruiting talent remains
consistent.
Six years ago. |im Reid. who was
then head coach at UMass, recruit-
ed running back Rene Ingoglia,
who has broken just about every
rushing record in school historv.
In 1992. Mike Hodges took the
helm of the Minutemen with the
comfort of an Ail-American run-
ning back in his possession. When
recruiting for the following season,
he did not have to worry about the
position.
At the conclusion of the 1993
season. Hodges began thinking
about getting a young running back
at UMass for the 1994 campaign.
His vision was to bring in a young
strong player, teach him the system
and prepare him for a starting role.
Hodges recruited Matt Jordan
from Derr>. N.H. for the 1994 sea-
son. With Ingoglia and tailback
Frank Alessio healthy and eligible
for a couple more seasons. Hodges
decided to rcdshirt Jordan lor the
1994 season.
This year. Ingoglia is a senior
and Alessio. a junior. Jordan steps
in as a freshman with a year under
the inlluencc of the UMass offense.
He has been able to fully compre-
hend the Minutcmen ground
attack, and learn from Ingoglia. the
all-time UMass rushing leader.
".After a redshirt year, not play-
ing any games, not having anything
to look forward to. it's good to gel
out there and finally gel into the
thick of things again." lordan said.
"IRedshirtingj gave me an opportu-
nity to learn the offense, and to
pick up the things I hadn't been
associated with in high school. I
just got bigger and stronger and
learned the system here at UMass."
lordan's role thus far is simple
— go in there and do the best he
can when the coach says the word.
Hodges has given Jordan the word.

Water polo rolls on;
Beats outclassed Eagles
As sure as the University of Massachusetts football
team will utilize its rugged ground attack tomorrow after-
noon, its opponent's game plan is just the opposite.
Rhode Island (5-1. 2-0 in the Yankee Conference) will
host the Minutemen (2-1. 1-1). and all who attend will be
able to witness the Chris Hixson air show. Featured will
be main targets Cy Butler and Bobby Apgar. and it all
begins at 1 p.m. at Meade Stadium.
If you really want to know just how different each team
runs its offense, check out the numbers. Hixson has
thrown 122 passes in four games (75 completions for 852
yards): Minuteman quarierback Vito Campanile has only
52 attempts (22 completions for 217 yards).
"Their passing game scares the daylights out of you."
said UMass coach Mike Hodges. "They'll drop back and
let it go at anytime. IBobbyl Apgar and (Cy) Butler arc
excellent receivers, and they can make it happen. (The
Rams are! not afraid to let them do that. And that's real
scary."
URL however, has gained just 229 yards on the ground
thus far. and their leading rusher has 72 yards on 1 7 car-
ries.
All-America Rene Ingoglia and friends have netted 88!
yards on the ground. Ingoglia leads the way with 590
yards on 77 carries.
Speaking of Ingoglia, he needs just 24 rushing yards
lo eclipse Garry Pearson's school record of 5,859 yards.
If he runs over the Rams defense for more than 164
yards, he will become the fourth person in conference
history lo rush for over 4.000 career yards. If he gels in
the endzone three times, he ties the UMass combined
touchdown record. If he scores 24 points against URl.
he'll break the school record for points scored in a
career.
And so it goes for Rene ingoglia. With each yard he
gains, the Walter Payton Award candidate for the top
player in Division l-AA football moves up the UMass and
Yankee Conference rushing charts. If he has a game like
he had last year (an amazing 513-yard efforl), those
records could all be his sooner than expected.
"That was a very unique day." Hodges said with a
laugh. "You can't expect something like thai again."
The game will be broadcast live on WMUA-91.1 FM.

Domination: Complete and total domination.
The University of Massachusetts men's water polo team
simply was loo good for a young and incxpcrienccxi Boston
College squad as the Minutemen cruisc-d lo victory. 21-6.
UMass manhandled ihc Eagles from the beginning, scor-
ing seven first-quarter points. The Limardo brothers
accounted for five of the seven: Luis scored three straight
to end the quarter, and |.C. scored off a rebound from a
Greg Menton blast about halfway through the period —
his shot counting for two points.
The Massachusetts fast break was clicking all night,
keyed by aggressive defense and the long-passing of goalie
Alex Mujica who blanked Boston College in the first half.
The UMass fast break led to four goals in the first half
including a iwo-on-one break between Luis Limardo and
Menton. Limardo made a nice steal and a terrific pass to a
streaking Menton who blasted it by Eagles' goalie, fresh-
man Marc Sanlaro.
Menton added another, as the Minutemen went into
halftime with a 1 5-0 lead.
"I just told them I wanted ihcm to pitch a shutout the
Tir^t half, and they did," said L'Mass coach Russ Yarworth.

Field hockey gets rematch with Old Dominion
By Brion Perillo
Collegion Staff
For the second time this season, the Massachusetts field
hockey leam will try to knock off rival Old Dominion
when they travel lo Slorrs. Conn.. Sunday for a rematch
with ihc No. b Lady Monarchs at 1 p.m.
The Minuiewomen fell lo Old Dominion 2-0 Sept. 15
in Chapel Hill. North Carolina. During that contest,
UMass goaltender Slacy Walker played with a sprained
Medial Collateral Ligament.
"We learned last lime that we can beat Ihcm." said
UMass coach Megan l")onnelly. "We match up very well
with ihcm. We have lo understand that we have lo play as
well as wc can play and not be concerned with how Old
Dominion plays,"
In the first contest. ODU's Danielle Chellcw scored
both goaK lor the Lady Monarchs on penalty corners.
Chellew. who will probably be matched up against
UMass' Kyle Rolhenberger, leads Old Dominion with
seven goals on 41 shots.
The Minuiewomen are coming off a 5-1 loss at the
hands of No. 7 Norlheaslern, and have a record of 5-6 on
the season.
"Northeastern was not a case of a team beating us."
Donnelly said. "We beat ourselves."
When UMass plays Old Dominion, however, you can
throw records and ranks out the window, and Donnelly
knows both learns will be ready for Sunday's conlesl.
"This is a big rivalry. We will be extremely fired up for
this gan)e and I know they are gelling up for us. Nobody
lakes UMass lightly. Every team knows we can win any
game at any lime. That is what makes us a scary opponent."
The Lady Monarchs enter Sunday's game with a record
of 5-4. fresh off a 5-0 win over William & Mary. All of
ODU's losses have come at Ihc hands of Top 15 oppt)-
nents. including a 5-0 defeat at the hands of No. 1 North
Carolina.
As for the Minuiewomen. one thing they will have
going for them that they did not have in their last
encounter with Old Dominion is a healthy Slacy Walker.
"Stacy's mobility is back, along with her confidence."
Donnelly said.
Forward Kate Putnam has also been a big plus. The
freshman has stepped up and played exceptionally for the
Minutewomen, scoring the last two UMass goals.
"She is fun to watch. She has great poise on the field."
Donnelly said. "Her goal against Northeastern was the
type of goal you expect from an upperclassman. It was
just excellent."
As for UMass. they arc still wailing for that one break-
out win loget them rolling.
"This team is going to explode on somebody."
Donnelly said. "We're capable of winning every game,
but we're just not finishing. We need to start gelling
greedy. We've seen ODU before, but this lime, we're
both belter."

State Senator Stan Rosenberg (D- Amherst) said yester-
day that the Senate Ways and Means Committee has
approved two bills thai would improve bicycling in
Massachusetts.
The two bills would provide for the Massachusellt
Highway Department (MHD) to incorporate bicycle and
pedestrian traffic in the planning, design, construction and
maintenance of any project.
Rosenberg, a member of the Ways and Means
Committee and co-sponsor of the bill, said the bills are
important because the .MHD does not have safe cycling
routes in mind when constructing slate roads.
"Basically, these two bills were dc-signed to gel the state
Highway Department to do the work necessary to make
bicycling sale." Rosenberg said, "lis an afterthought at
best. They'll kcx-p it in mind when building j certain! pny
jects."
The bills would also provide for the MHD Commissioner
lo adopt a written policy on bicycling and to create r\>ad
way design guidelines to make il easier and safer.
"It's not easy to bicycle in a lot of places." Rosenberg
said. "A lot of infrastructure was not created with it in
mind."
The establishment of an MHD bicycling advisory boaid
and a slate bicycling office in the MHD was also rvcom-
mended.
"E'nsuring access to safe routes on stale roads is an envi-
ronmentally sound policy." Rosenberg said. "And it's
imponant for Ihe many cyclists who enjoy their bikes for
recreation and commuting."
Rosenberg also acknowledged that cycling has bec-ume a
way of life for people, rather than the leisurely hobby it
used to be.
"Bicycling is ah alternative lo motor vehicle transporta-
tion." Rosenberg said. "It's an environmental improve-
ment as well as an improvement for our own health. It's
great exercise."
Rosenberg said the bills will be introduced to the senate
within a coulDe of weeks from there it will go to the
House Ways and Means Committee.
"The good news is. this one is making progress."
Rosenberg said.
Smith College appoints first black president
By Jonathan Liberty
Collegion Correspondent
On Saturday, over 5.000 people
ruse to their feet to applaud Dr. Ruth
Simmons as she entered the Smith
College Indoor Track and Tennis
Facility at noon to be inaugurated as
the school's new president.
Simmons' entrance followed a 15
minute procession which lasted near-
ly 20 minutes. A multitude of Smith
students, faculty and alumnae, as
well as Simmons' friends and family,
settled down as the ceremony to wel-
come Smith's first black president
came to order.
An invocation was given by the
Rev. Hugh FIcsher, Dean of the
Chapel and the Protestant Chaplam.
Flesher proclaimed that this inaugu-
ration was a "celebration of the
advent of leadership."
The Smith College Glee Club fol-
lowed the invocation with a musical
interpretation of Robert Frost's
poem, "Choose Something Like a
Star."
Simmons welcomed by many
Kale Belcher Webster, of the class
of 1946. Chair of the Board of
Trustees officially welcomed
Simmons to the Smith College com-
munity.
"This is an opportunity to share
our joy as we enter a new era here at
Smith College." Webster said.
Smith professor of sociology and
anthropology Peter Rose spoke on
behalf of the faculty.
"We have chosen Ruth Simmons in
order to preserve, protect, and
enhance liberal arts education." he
said. "The future of our institution
and all of society depends upon it."
The president of the Student
Government As.si.>ciation. senior lanice
Y. Lee. said that the diversity of
Smith's student population, which she
said covers all 50 states. 73 countries
and ages from lb to 62, will only be
bettered by Simmons' presence.
Several letters of greeting from
Smith alumni were read by lane
Anderson Howard, Chair of the Staff
Council and President of the Alumni
AssiK'iation.
Messages included were "Bravo!
You have once again put Smith into
the forefront of excellence." and
"This is the largest gift I have ever
given to Smith; il is because of the
wonderful selection of Dr.
Simmons."
Confidence from peers
Presidents from three other institu-
tions, two of whom had connections
to Simmons, were also on hand to
congratulate Simmons on her new
position.
First lo speak was Hampshire
College presideni Gregory Prince. |r..
who represented the Five-College
Consortium. Prince stressed the
importance of cooperation between
the .schools in the consortium, and
Iheir respective communities.
iohnella B. Cole. President ol
Spelman College spoke next.
Simmons served as provost of the
historically black women's institution
from 1990 lo 1992.
"Sister President." Cole said,

mous pride and joy that Spelman
salutes the appointment of Ruth

Sophomore given four-months for sexual assault
By Amy H. Paradysz
Collegian Staff
University of Massachusetts sophomore Peter
Hcbenstreil began a four-month sentence at the
Hampshire County House of Correction in
Northampton Thursday after a jury found him
guilty of sexual assault.
Hcbenstreil allegedly assaulted a female in a
University of Massachusetts bathroom stall last
year, said Assistant District Attorney Winston Burl.
The testimony "involved touching her breasts and
having her touch his genital region," he said.
The testimony seemed to indicate that
Hebenstreil "had been consuming alcohol" and
'they were acquainted," Burt said.
Hcbenstreil allegedly entered a toilet stall in a
residence hall in the Sylvan Residential Area, where
he found the victim, Burt said.
After a two-day trial, the jury found l9-ye8r-old
Hebenstreil guilty of one of the two counts of inde-
cent assault and battery of a person under the age
of 14. wilh which he was charged, according to
Phil Cavanaugh, assistant director of the University
of Massachusetts Police Deparlmcni.
Assistant District Allorncy Melinda Soffer was
the prosecutor in the ca.se, but she was unavailable
for comment.
Burt was not able lo specify which count brought
Hebenstreil his jail sentence.
HetKnslrcil requested a slay of the sentence in
order lo finish Ihe semester, but "the judge didn't
allow it," Burl said.
The judge ordered a one-year split sentence,
with some direct jail lime and some suspended jail
time. One hundred and twenty days must be "direct
lime," Burt said.
The judge also recommended (toward Street, a
Springfield rehabilitation facility for people "con-
victed of alcohol-related crimes." according lo Burt.
"There is some doubt whether Mr. Hcbenstreil is
eligible lo go there," said Burl who described the
facility as "selective."
On lune 13. Hcbenstreil was charged with
'assault and battery of a dangerous weapon."
according to court documents. The "weapon" in
that Amherst incident was a paintball gun. The
charge was amended lo "assault."
Students, faculty and staff who
park al the north end of campus
are about lo have 100 new rea-
sons not to buy Ihc expensive
parking permits or to hike into
campus from distant yellow lots.
University Parking Services
will finish adding approximately
too parking spaces, including
about 20 metered spots, to pur-
ple lot 44 in a couple of weeks,
'or al least before the snow
flies," said Parking Manager Lynn
Braddock.
Parking Services chose lo
expand lot 44 because of a need
for parking at that location for all
members of the University com-
munity, Braddock said.
Lot 44 is located behind
Sylvan Residential Area and
Mark's Meadow Elementary
School, and is adjacent to the
north athletic fields.
According lo .Hraddock, com-
plaints of overcrowding in lot 44
from permit holders sparked the
project.
"We understood that people
were having lo park in yellow
lots (which serve as overflow
lots), so we identified a need for
more spaces at that location,"
she said. 'It's not so much that
we needed |lo sell] more
spaces."
The new permit-regulated
spaces provide inexpensive, con-
venient parking to those who live
and work al the northeastern end
of campus, Braddock said.
She also said students who live
in Sylvan and Northeast
Residential Areas especially need-
ed such a parking option. The
meters will provide visitors to
that end of campus with a place
to pui Iheir cars as well, she
added.
Braddock said permit, meter
and ticket revenue earned
through Parking Services funded
the new parking facilities.
University Facilities Planning
designed the lot addition, drew
up the contract wilh the company
doing the work, and oversees the
construction, Braddock said
Nobody at Facilities Planning was
available for comment by press
time.
The project, on which con-
struction began early this month,
has been in the works for a cou-
ple of years, Braddock said. She
cited a "timing issue' as the
cause for the delay — finding a
lime when Parking Services and
Facilities Planning could work
together on the project, for exam
pie.
Braddock added thai clearing
plans for the lot's water drainage
with Mark's Meadow was lime
consuming.
"Wc didn't want lo cause any
problems wiih ihe children's play
area" Braddock said.'Wc wanted
to make sure Ihe water would
run off properly."
Lenore Carlisle, principal of
Mark's Meadow, agrees that
Facilities Planning and Parking
Services have been considerate of
the school.
"They've been very attentive
and thoughtful," Carlisle said.
"We feel very good about this "
Carlisle said the workers are
moving a fence so that the addi
lion interferes with Ihe school
even less.
According to Carlisle, the con-
struction isn't a distraction.

Gringrich criticized in national magazine
WASHINGTON (AP) — For the
second time in less than two months,
a major natiormi magazine has pub-
lished an extensive and highly critical
profile of House Speaker Newt
Gingrich.
Gingrich's political plans, beliefs
and techniques take a beating in the
Oft. 9 edition of The Sew Yorker.
which goes on newsstands Monday.
The 2fe-page piece, entitled "The
Politics of Perception." comes barely
a month after Vanity Fair published
Gail Sheehy's dissection of
Gingrich's personal history and
morality.
Gingrich's spokesmen were not
immediately available to respond to
The New Yorker article.
Connie Bruck. author of books on
financier Michael Milken and the late
Time Warner chief, Steve Ross, as
well as a May 1 <W4 New Yorker pro-
file of Hiliary Clinton, depicts
Gingrich as a man so bent on sweep-
ing away the old and keeping up
appearances that:
• He has told associates that 'even-
tually it would be better* if task
forces replaced the congressional
committee system, and one associate
said the transition had already begun.
Bruck says already there are up to 55
task forces operating on Capitol Hill;
she quotes Barry Jackson, executive
director of the House Republican
Conference, as saying they function
as "competing centers" to the com-
mittees. The groups are temporary
and operate with little oversight.
• tie wouldn't let a photographer
take his picture until after victory on
an important bill he wasn't sure
would pass. "I did not want a picture
in defeat." he told Bruck.
Bruck quotes conservatives and
Gingrich associates as concerned
about inconsistencies in Gingrich's

policy positions. She quotes him as
having replied to one of them, former
Gingrich chief of staff Frank
Gregorsky, "Saving civilization is
hard. You have to be fluid."
The article notes a number of
instances where Gingrich's words
seem to be at odds with other
accounts and impressions.
• Bruck quotes Gingrich as deny
ing he had "anything do to with' the
role of GOPAC. the national fund
raising apparatus he headed until
recently, in the 1992 Georgia redis-
tricting that assured him a safe, sub-
urban GOP district. She said
Gingrich aide Mel Steely was on the
scene and Don Hill, the computer
consultant for state Republicans, had
told her Gingrich and his close ad vis
er, loe Gaylord. had taken part in
numerous strategy sessions.
• Bruck builds up evidence ol
Gingrich's mastery of long- and
short-term strategy, from issue-fram
ing to campaign tactics to deciding
which members to strong-arm and
which to flatter.
The old North Amherst school building opened its
doors to 56 Head Start pre-schoolers last Friday.
The building's first lloor, which recenily underwent
extensive renovations, will replace the Bangs Community
Center in Amherst as the site for the Head Start program.
The new building, which houses three classrooms, will
mean higher enrollment and an expansion in the area
served by the program. Whereas Amherst alone was
served by the old site, families from four towns —
Amherst, Belchertown, Hadley and Pelham — may now
participate in the program.
According to Carol Bond, Director of Head Start for
Hampshire County, a staff increase at the new location
will permit the serving of 20 home-based children in
addition to those enrolled at the center.
Together with the increase in enrollment afforded by
the new location, the program's services have also been
expanded from half-days to full-days.
The new center, which now employs 45 paid stafl-
members. is "always looking for volunteers; we love hav-
ing them," Bond said.
Renovations on the facility, which include lead paint
abatement, heating system replacement, handicapped
dccessibility and a new play area, were made possible by
the combination of a $274,000 federal grant administered
by the Town of Amhersl. and approximately $90,000
from Hampshire Community Action Commission
Head Start is a nation-wide, federally funded program
w hich prepares four-year-olds fnjm income-eligible fami
lies lor public school. Originally established as an
eighl-wcek summer program during the lohnson
Administration, the program was transformed to run
year-round, and has seen a consistent increase in funding
over the last si.x years.
IX-scribcd by Bond as "one of | America's] largest grass
roots organizations." Head Start is currently being consid
ered for limite-d budget cuts in Congress.
However, the Head Start still falls short of reaching all
families eligible for participation in the program
According to Bond, of 880 age and income eligible ehil
dren in Hampshire County, only 254 are being served by
the program. She also estimated that only I 5 percent of
potential users in the four-town Pioneer Valley region are
being served.
A celebration will be held on October 20 celebrating
the opening of the new site and Head Start's 50th national
anniversary.

Talks, fighting continues in Sarajevo
By Srecko Lata!
Associated Press
SARAIF.VO. Ik)>nia Herzegovina
— U.S. envoy Richard Holbrooke
took his peace rnis.sion to the third
Balkan capital in as many days
Sunday, trying to close the gap
between the warring sides in the for-
mer Yugoslavia and forge a cease
fire.
But prospects appeared slim for a
truce in Bosnia anytime soon, with
government t roups pressing an of fen
sive in the west and rebel Serbs
struggling to regain lost ground.
Holbrooke met Sunday in Zagreb
with Croatian President Franju
Tudjnian after inconclusive talks with
the Bosnian pnvernnient in Sarajevo
and Serbian President Slobodan
Milosevic, the main jxiwerbrokcr in
the Balkans.
"f'ver>' time we talk, each side clar-
ifies its views a little,"
Holbrooke said before leaving
Belgrade, the Serbian capital, for
Zagreb
"But while both sides say ihcv
want to Slop the fighting, they
haven't agreed on how this would be
done. We are working very intensive
ly on it."
Holbrooke, an assistant secretary
of slate, is trying to build on what
Washington considers the best
prospects yet for ending the war. The
yyarrinp parties agreed last week in
New York on a power-sharing
scheme for a future government.

Pesticides monitored in apples
Methods for managing pest & pesticides exhibited in Valley
By Bryan Schwartzmon
Collegian Staff
Many students may not be aware that the University of
Massachusetts Horticultural Research Center is the
source of the apples eaten daily in dining commons
across campus.
Located in Belchertown, the center hosted an apple
growing demonstration last Saturday featuring Integrated
Pest Management (iPM) techniques. These methods were
developed in response to the overuse of pesticides by
farmers in the 1960s.
IPM combines biological and cultural control methods
along with traditional pesticides, a system designed to
lead to belter results and a safer environment.
"The point of this demonstration is to demonstrate lo
the public what farmer's are actually doing," said Craig
Hollingsworth, UMass Extension Specialist, and Co-IPM
coordinator. "When the public receives information
about IPM, their confidence in agriculture practices
improves.'
One of the keys to this type of apple growing is exten-
sive monitoring. Hollingsworth said they have to "moni-
tor their pests in different ways so that they are only
using the appropriate amount of pesticide."
lenn Mason, who is in charge of the implementation of
the research for the project said "monitoring is they kt7
to our program."
Cultural control involves thinning and pruning which
promotes air movement and faster drying leafs, which
leads to less fungi.
The demonstration is part of a project done in conjunc-
tion with Connecticut. Maine. New Hampshire and
Rhode Island to educate the public to the advantage's of
IPM
Saturday's demonstration featured a tour of the IPM
research center, and a comparison of traditional and IPM
techniques. As a bonus, free home grown apples and
cider were offered.
One of the most innovative insect traps displayed was
a red croquet ball which insects mistake for an actual
apple.
Both University students and loial residents in atten-
dance said they were pleased with the IPM demonstra-
tion.
Mitch Koyvia of Willcrbaum said the tips would help
him with his "hobby" of growing apple orchards.
"Whatever |field| I go into will be effected by IPM,"
said Kristen Andersen, a junior plant and soil and envi-
ronmental science major.
IPM research is done by comparing a block of apples
grown in traditional pesticide method and a block grown
with IPM.
According to the research, IPM uses 51.7 percent less
pesticide than traditional methods. Due to cost factors,
the block comparison was not a true scientific experi-
ment, which would have compared techniques on trees in
the same block.
For five years the project received $250.01)0 thousand
a year from the United Slates Department of Agriculture
(USDA). The program was introduced lo Congress by
the late Silvio Conli. a Republican representative from
Western Massachusetts. When Conli died, the research
was in trouble and in need of another "sponsor,* said
IPM coordinator and UMass extension specialist Bill Coli.
The void was filled by Senator Kennedy who always
managed to get the project in the budget Once the
Republicans gainjd control of congress, the future of the
project came into question. Coli called il "party politics,
plain and simple."
However il was just announced two days ago thai
included the budget being sent to President Hill Clinton is
$221,000 for the development of Alternative Agricultural
Management Systems like IPM.
"We would really like to thank Senator Kennedy and
his staff for all their outstanding work in helping bring
this funding to the university," Coli said. "Tliis is the kind
of money that helps us do the work we do."
Israel troops to pull out of West Bank
By Hilary Applemon
Asiociatod Pratt
although tncky details have yet to be
resolved.
Earlier, they agreed to keep Bosnia
as a single stale, divided roughly in
half between the Bosnian Serbs and a
Muslim-Croat federation. Specific
lerriiorial division will require lough
ncgi'liaiions.
"As we said many times, the dis-
tance separating the iwo sides is very
large on all the basic issues."
Holbrooke said.
Milosevic, in a statement, said a
cease-fire was a prerequisite for any
high-level peace talks, after which
"the cease-fire should transform into
a permanent peace."
Tudjnmn and Holbrooke discussed
the last Serb-held land in Croatia, an
eastern stretch bordering Serbia.
lERUSALEM — After 28 years of occupation, Israel
will start withdrawing troops and shutting down the
offices of its military government in the West Bank this
month. Foreign Minister Shimon Peres said Sunday
The impending transfer of power set off protests among
Jewish settlers, who accused the Israeli government of
abandoning them.
Peres, speaking to The Associated Press by telephone
from New York, said the tn.)op withdrawal from the West
Bank would probably begin "in several weeks."
He said Israel also would shut down the 1 2 offices of its
military government in the West Bank. Shlomo Dror. a
spokesman for the military government, said the first four
offices would be closed next wtx-k, and the others within
six months.
Peres repeated Israel's intention to have its troops out
of six West Bank towns by the end of the year.
This was part of a compromise worked out between
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PI.O chief Yasser
Arafat just before they signed an accord Thursday in
Washington on expanding Palestinian autonomy in the
West Bank.
Israel has until March 50 to redeploy troops in the sev
enth city. Hebron, where 450 lewish settlers live among
120.000 Palestinians. The transfer of power in cities and
villages will give the Palestinians control over almost a
third of the West Bank, which Israel captured from lordan
in the 1%7 Mideast War.
The Israel-PLO agreement faces stiff opposition from
lewish settlers in the West Bank. About 200 settlers
burned tires and blocked traffic Sunday morning on the
bypass road around Jericho and at an army checkp«)int
before the Allenby Bndge lo lordan.
Eighteen protesters were detained.
The settlers said they were |>rotesting Israel's plans lo
remove army roadblocks and expand the area of
Palestinian self-rule around Jericho, lericho, in the lordan
Valley, and the Gaza Strip have been autonomous since
May 1994.
"They lied to us," David Elhiani. head of the lordan
Valley settlers' council, told Israel radio. "We will not
allow Palestinian police into the lordan Valley. We will
fight with ever>'thing we have."
Israel's parliament is scheduled to debate the Israel-
PLO agreement on Thursday. Peres said he expects il to
be approved.
The army is expected lo withdraw first from the city of
lenin in the northern West Bank and surrounding villages,
followed by Nablus. Tulkarem and Oalqilya, then
Ramallah and Ik-thlehem and finally Hebron.
Dror. the military government sfKikesman, said Israeh
and Palestinian officials would meet Sunday to work out
the details of the transfer of authority.
The four offices that will be closed next week are in
Salfit, near the city of Nablus; Kharbata, near Ramallah:
Yalta, near Hebron; and Qabaliya, near lenin.
While the Palestinians made strides tuward greater self-
rule, the limits of that independence were clear Sunday,
when Israel extended the closure of the West Bank and
Gaz« Strip through Oct. 5 — after the lewish Yom
Kippur holiday.
The Gaza Strip has been sealed since Sept. 24 and the
West Bank since Wednesday. The closure, which strangles
a struggling Palestinian economy highly dependent on
jobs in Israel, had been scheduled to erid on Sunday.
Israel fears attacks by Islamic militants opposed to the
Israel-PLO peace process.

Suckers for skin flicks
Call ii male bonding, call it juvenile, call ii being
"typical male pigs." but when the much bally-
hooed film Showgirls opened last Friday, there
was absolutely no way I wasn't going to be there.
Yes. I fell pathetic. Yes. I fell like a degenerate. Yes. I
knew that the movie was going to suck. Still, nothing was
going to Slop me fnjm seeing the film when it finally hit
the theaters. My reasoning? Plain and simple — seeing the
girl from "Saved By The Bell" nakc-d lor two hours.
All ol a sudden a rush of memoiies came flooding back
from my youth. Memories of being 14 years old. having
your parents out for the night and inviting a group of your
buddies over to watch all those timeless 'SOs flicks, such
as Spring Break. llarJhodies il A //) and Private Reiorl
• • • • •
'Hey. Bill '
'Hey. Matt '
"My parents are out. Want to invite all
of our adolescent, immature friends over so
we can rent some soft-core pom and pre-
tend we know what the hell we're talking
about when it comes to girls'"
'Be right over dude! '
• • • • •
Ahh. the good old days.
Now those good old days were back. A
movie that was sure to have no plot, tern
ble acting, some lame mural message and
plenty of scantily-clad ladies, baring lots of
flesh. This movie wasn't just an excuse to ogle, it was
dowTiright nostalgic. I called my friernls. wc set up a time,
grabbed our IDs (NC-17 folks) and headed for the land
of sweet degradation.
We arrived at the theater and took our place in the
male- dominated line that extended way beyond the ticket
office. You could almost feel the testosterone pumping.
Showgirls — the word literally dripped from our lips along
with the saliva which nicely set off our already glazcxi eyes.
I finally reached the ticket office, slapped my $j.50
down on the table, looked up and the strangest sensation
came over me. There was the girl who was working at the
ticket booth, staring at me, waiting for the word to come
out of mv mouth and I could barely speak.
I felt silly.
"What movie would you like." she asked.
'Showgirls. ' I muttered under my breath, as I handed
her my money and ID. feeling unexplainably ashamed.
She handed me my ticket and I shufHed off. making
sure that I made no t^e contact with anyone until I safely
reached my seat in the theater. I felt like the biggest loser
on the planet. Right before the show started I look a
quick around the packed theater and noticed all the guys
decked out in baseball hats and flannel shirts suddenly
realizing thai we were all the biggc-st losers on the planet.
Every single guy in that movie theater knew that
Showgirls was going to terrible — and no
one cared. Were we really that pathetic?
Did a little nudity really warrant such mass
hysteria? I sunk down low in my chair aitd
the film began.
It sucked in ways never imagined.
It was possibly the worst movie I had
ever seen. Elizabeth Berkley had obviously
not developed much range since her
"Saved By The Bell" days, the dialogue was
laughably crude and the dopey "message"
was a hoot. Even all the flesh that continu-
ously paraded across the screen became
nothing more than a bore. My memories of all those "SOs
skin flicks were shattered.
Throughout the film guys hooted and hollered, throw-
ing out cat-calls lo the screen and chcvring when ever an
anide of clothing was taken off and lossed away. My neck
was killing me and I had a splitting headache. I left the
theater with my friends and walked to the car. No one
spoke. I think wc all felt a tad dirty, a little stupid, but
most of all — like the biggest suckers ever.

Letters to the Editor
Issues brought up
about Jamais case
To the editor:
The Colle^an headline of Sept.
12 erroneously slated that death
row prisoner Mumia Abu-lamai
was being given a second chance. A
correction was printed later that
week, which I would like to ampli-
fy. In fact, on Sept. 15. lamals
appeal for a new trial was denied
by ludge Sabo. Sabo's decision is
now being appealed before the
Pennsylvania State Supreme Court.
I am also concerned that there
were other points in the article
(and in a Sept. 1 3 Collegian) which
would have misled readers, and I
would like to address some of
these.
There are many issues raised by
lamal's case. The most important. I
feel, is that jamal is on death row
because of his critical journalism.
his politics and because he is black.
Not only did he not receive a fair
trial, but his political views were
explicitly used against him in court.
There is an enormous amount of
information available relating to
lamal's case.
I would recommend people read
either the recently- published Race
for justice by lamal's attorney
Leonard Weinglass or some of the
documents available at the world
wide web site htlp://www. xs4all.nl
/tank/spg- l/mumia002.htm. I'll
review just a few important points
here.
lamal's current defense attorneys
have obtained testimony and police
records, which detail how evidence
against lamal was manufactured,
and how other evidence, in his
favor, was suppressed by the
police, judge, and prosecution act-
ing in collusion.
Witnesses — Two witnesses,
called by the prosecution, identified
lamal as the shooter. Both were
subject lo police pressure. One was
on probation for firebombing a
school in exchange for pay. and the
other worked as a prostitute. Each
received special treatment form the
police following their testimony.
F^ch had changed their story from
their initial police statements.
Four other witnesses were inter-
viewed by the police, who indepen-
dently said they had seen a person
run from the scene immediately fol-
lowing the shooting. Their accounts
were all consistent with each other,
but their story was never followctl
up by the police. Their statements
were withheld from the defense in
the original trial.
In addition, the names and
addresses of all the witnesses were
kept from the defense, information
which the police would routinely
turn over during discovery. This,
together with the lack of resources
awarded by the court for investiga-
tion, prevented the defense from
interviewing witnesses before the
trial.
Ballistics — In the medical
examiner's original report, the bul-
let was judged to be a .44 caliber,
while lamal's (licensed) gun was a
.58. This information was kept
from the defense.
The "Confession" — lamal was
also shot at the scene, then beaten
by police officers, and taken to the
hospital. The arresting officer.
Officer W'akshul. kept detailed
notes of what happened that night.
In particular, he wrote his report
that "the negro male made no state-
ment" consistent with the testimo-
ny of medical personnel present.
Two months later, the police and
prosecution claimed lamal had in
fact confessed to the shooting when
brought into the hospital. When
the defense attempted to call
Officer Wakshui as a witness, they
were told he was "on vacation."
ludge Sabo refused the defense's
motion for a continuation until
Wakshui returned.
During the recent PCRA pro-
ceedings, it came out Wakshui was
in fact in town and available at the
time of the original trial, and that
the "confession" was most likely
manufactured during a "round-
table" meeting of the police and the
D.A.'s office held two months after
the shooting.
It is very instructive lo see how
the death penally was decided on
for lamal. As defense attorney
Weinglass has stressed, the crime
lamal was accused of was
manslaughter, an incident that
developed in a matter of seconds,
rather than premeditated murder.
If convicted of manslaughter, lamal
would be out of prison. The prose-
cution argued for first degree mur-
der on the basis of lamal's member-
ship in the Black Panther Party as a
teenager. The argument was that
the Black Panther Party was about
killing cops and that lamal had
been "waiting to kill a cop" since
that lime. Further, when during
deliberations the jury requested
information from fudge Sabo about
manslaughter. Sabo instructed
them on first degree and the death
penalty.
When the conviction was
appealed to the Pennsylvania Slate
Supreme Court, one of the grounds
was that the prosecution had used
lamal's political views to infiame
the jury. The Court ruled that
allowing lamal's political views and
associations to influence the jury's
sentence was not the same as pun-
ishing him for them. The US
Supreme Court refused to hear the
appeal.
However, in 1992. the US
Supreme Court overturned the
death sentence of David Dawson,
due to evidence submitted at sen-
tencing about his affiliation with
the Aryan Brotherhood, a white
supremacist organization. The
Court stated the evidence was used
"simply because the jury would
find these beliefs morally reprehen-
sible." The court found that the
first amendment rights of the
Aryan Brotherhood must be pro-
tected.
Finally lamal recently obtained
FBI documents showing he has
been under surveillance since the
age of 16. The Philadelphia police
are notorious for their collabora-
tion with the FBI in suppressing
black political activity. However
they have refused to turn over their
files on |amal. jama! later became
known for his critical journalism,
particularly his reporting on the
police attack on MOVE in 1978.
Following this, he was singled out
by Chief of Police (and later
mayor) Frank Rizzo during a press
conference and told he would pay.
Why is Mumia's case so impor-
tant? Internationally, people have
been protesting to gain a new fair
trial for Mumia. Obviously, it is
important for us to work on a case
which is widely seen as a political
execution. But beyond that, if we
look inside our prisons, wc .see that
Mumia's case is not unique.

Alcohol and making the grade
Icohol n: I: the liquid thai is the
a intoxicating element in fer-
mented and distilled liquors. 2:
any various carbon compounds simi-
lar to alcohol }: beverages containing
alcohol.
As I sit here writing this I am feel-
ing the effects of what alcohol has
done to my body after a night of
drinking.
Alcohol is a pan of
campus and college
life. But each year it's
different. From
first-years to seniors,
everybody has a dif-
ferent experience.
FIRST-YEARS:
First-years are
almost exclusively
underage. For most
of them, this is the
first time away from
home, they have complete and total
freedom and no parent watching over
their shoulders. They will stay up all
night, drink until they puke, have sex
24 hours a day and ditch class — just
because they can.
They spend a lot of time doing the
things they always wanted to do, and
a lot of time doing the things they
never thought they would. They will
attend many Greek or "(insert color
here! house" parties, pay $6 a cup
and drink as much watered-down
beer as possible before the keg is
kicked. They have to do this, because
most of them don't know anyone
over 2 1 .
In general, first-years will drink,
drink, drink and drink, just because
the alcohol is there and the opportu-
nity exists. They spend a lot of time
worrying that they will get caught, go
to jail, or worse, someone will call
their parents.
SOPHOMORES: Sophomores are
cool, at least they think they are.
They have one year of drinking expe-
rience under their belts and think
they know all the ropes.
By now. they know everyone who
lives on their floor who is over 21
and will buy for them. They often get
ripped off by uppcrclassmen who will
take their 20 bucks and gel them a
case of Golden Anniversary or Red.
White and Blue. Sophomores will
still attend Creek parties, but because
someone's parents let them have a
car this year, they have started drink-
ing at parties off-campus where they
will still pay $b a cup
for watered-down beer.
They will often laugh
at first-years standing
in the bus stops on
North Pleasant Street
waiting for the bus.
They also really want a
fake ID but either are
loo scared or don't
know where to gel one.
lUNIORS: luniors
have it made. Even if
they don't turn 21 this year, they
cither know someone who is or has a
fake ID.
They stop going to Greek parties
unless they are Greek, and then they
go lo more Greek parties and serve
$b watered-down beer to first -years.
They start to become connoisseurs
of beer and other types of alcohol
and will start to drink Black Dog Ale.
Harpoon, whiskey, vodka, rum and
other mixed drinks. They will go
uptown and drink and then hit
Antonio's.
There will be a few times when
they will drink enough to bow to the
porcelain god and promise to never
drink again, but ihe next week they
will be back out drinking again.
The people with drinking problems
will really start to show their alco-
holism. Some students will drop out
because alcohol has taken control of
their life.
SENIORS: On their first day back
at UMass. seniors will swiftly come to
the conclusion that I hey have only ten
months Icfi to drink as much as pos-
sible. They realize that college is ihe
only time in their lives where they
can drink until they puke on a
Tuesday night and ditch class on
Wednesday.
Almost exclusively over 21, seniors
will make drinking uptown and at
friends' houses a regular occasion.
They refer to parties that start at 2
a.m. as "after-hours." meaning after
the bars close.
Seniors will play advanced drink-
ing games like Golf and Cardinal Puff
instead of Asshole. They will play 18
holes of Amherst Golf (start at The
Spoke and have a drink at every bar
on the "up-iown strip", two drinks at
what used to be Twisters, and then
do it in reverse). They will play the
"Melrose Place." "90210." "Seinfeld,"
or "Cheers" games.
You know, everyone picks a char-
acter Irom the show, and each time
the character says something they
take a drink. If the character kisses
someone or gets laid, they have to fin-
ish the drink they have in their hand.
Seniors quickly learn to pick char-
acters that do not appear often and
are Ihe homiest, loneliest characters
on the show (No one wants to be
drunk after a one hour show.).
Seniors will also often make them-
selves the friends of first-years and
find it funny to get them drunk every
night. My friend Chris comes to mind
here.
It's common to spot a senior in a
liquor store — they're the ones
returning enough bottles to get a free
case of beer.
Seniors will spend the last month
of school as drunk as possible. They
will drink for days on end and throw
huge house parties. They will make
jello shots and soak watermelons
with vodka and gin. They may even
be too drunk to make it to Spring
Concert. The last week of classes,
they may go to class drunk.
And in a lot of ways, they're just
like first-years.

Yugoslavian conflict to spur change
The philosophers of the Italian-born stream of
Modern art. Dadaism. viewed a war as the best
medicine for any given society. Let us take a look
at this thesis in the context of one modern war: the
Yugoslavian conflict.
As a result of World War II, Yugoslavia becomes a
socialist Eastern-European country, but not in a classic
sense of the word. Ruled almost exclusively by Croatian
native loseph Broz Tito, a controversial figure but certain-
ly a strong leader. Yugoslavia does not go the way Russia
is going. While there is absolutely no private economy in
Russia. Yugoslavian farmers and small private businesses
arc given a chance to survive independently.
This conceptual difference leads to a split and hostility
between Tito and Stalin. Development of a strong army in
Yugoslavia follows.
Yugoslavia, a Southern-European country, is very rich
with natural resources; the climate is mild, and the soil is
fertile. There is. however, very little oil. and the territory
is too small to support all types of industry
needed. And so, Yugoslavia establishes
strong import-export connections with the
West. For decades the country is Ihe only
Eastern Block market accessible to the
Western businesses. Economy develops
successfully, even too successfully.
Within the country, the Communist party is absolutely
dominant. It is. in fact, the only one in existence. Tito has
total power, deciding on the country's foreign policy, as
well as on the inner structure of the federation: the bor-
ders between Ihe republics are changed. Tito dies in 1980.
his nation is in the deepest grief, but everything stays the
same: Communists are still the leading power.
After Tito's death, the economy continues to blossom
for a few years. The country is ofien referred lo as the
Eastern- European Switzerland. Personal incomes are
extremely high, a typical Yugoslavian family travels all
over the world, spends summers in Italy, Greece or Spain.
Julia
Stoyanovich
and winters in the Swiss Alps. The many coffee houses
and restaurants in Yugoslavian cities and towns are open
all nights long. The cultural life of Belgrade. Novi Sad.
and other major cities is very vivid. Only later, in 1991.
does it become apparent that the economic well-being
was supporttxl by the massive loans that Yugoslavia took
out.
Politically, however. Yugoslavia is still a part of the
Eastern Europe. The Russian Pere.stroyka. initiated by
Gorbachev in 1985. has as strong an impact on
Yugoslavia as it has on the Eastern Germany or any other
tastem Block country. The stability in the region is lost,
and radical changes arc bound to follow.
Every part of the Socialist Federative Republic of
■V^ugoslavia is headed by an individual, craving for person-
al power. The Serbian President Slobodan Miloshevich
tollijws Tito's Communist tradition which no longer
applies to the European conditions successfully. The
Croatian leader Franjo Tudjman bases his power on a
Radical. Nazi- resembling ideology. The
Bosnian Alija Izedbcgovich plays on the
religious feelings of his Moslem nation.
Once again, the area that was hardly ever
stable throughout history becomes a center
ofaconfiict.
There is really nothing unusual in the fact that a few
individuals appear in an unstable situation, and tend to
use the conditions to gain power. Il is also very well
known that any nation is easy to manipulate in an unsta-
ble situation. The situation is not at all unusual, but it cer-
tainly IS far from being desirable.
It is. in fact, not clear, whether the Yugoslavian society
wi I be cured by the war. but it certainly will be changed.
Is there anything that could have been done to prevent
the war. or to stop it once it has begun? I believe that this
war IS a logical consequence of the historical conditions.
Is there a way to predict or to stop history?

jciZZy poetry seeds

"Remember...
if you
plant a seed in the fertile earth
sun it with jazz
moisten it with poetry
you have. . .
JazzoTree'
lazzoTree will bring their unique blend of jazz,
poetry and mostly political themes to the Blue Wall
tonight at 7 p.m.
Members of lazzoTree have performed and
opened for an interesting range of musicians such as
Art Blakey and Luka Bloom and writers |im Carrol
and loseph Walker. In the past they have played at
the Knitting Factory in New York, the Cav in
Providence. RI and the Iron Horse in Northampton.
According to the members of lazzoTree their
intent "is to remain true to the tradition of combin-
ing jazz with poetry of Charles Mingus. Gil
Scot-Heron and others." The poetry is written and
performed by Richard Pleasant and the music is the
inspiration of Michael Suter who plays the bass.
Pleasant 's poetry is not afraid to deal with topics
like violence, racism, abuse and even the emergence
of the new right wing. "I grew up in the 60s, it's
who I am ... things that come from the heart.' says
Richard Pleasant about his poetry.
If you like poetry that is strong and willing to say
it all, look for pieces like "Mistakes are Made." "The
Cycle" and the Valley classic "Tragically Hip."
The band, composed of six members, relies on
bass, piano, percussion, flute, clarinet and at times
even trombone to accompany the rich voice of
Richard Pleasant.
The Band will release their first tape The Seed at
a concert on Friday at the Black Sheep Cafe.
lazzoTree will be appearing at the Blue Wall
tonight. Admission is free and the show starts at

The Mitchells celebrate release of debut record

Sepr28, 1995
NORTHAMPTON — Sporting a delightful deep purple
V- neck velour shirt tastefully trimmed with brown and
gold cuffs, lead singer Caleb Wetmorc welcomed the
crowd to the Mitchells' debut single record release party.
"I can't believe how many people showed up," said
Wetmore. "we're really thankful."
The quartet then broke into "Mr. Underground" fol-
lowed by "Instant Party" and a 'brand spanking new' tunc
"Fighting For the Good Leggo Pieces."
Wetmore explained the song's long title by giving a
brief talk on Leggos. "You know when you went to a
friend's house and you had a long green picve and a curvy
brown one and he was building a castle and you were
building a lumber yard." Almost everyone in the audience
understood and laughed.
One of The Mitchells best sounding songs was. "3rd
Floor" a fast frantically paced number filled with light
drumming and tasty licks that had bassist Bill Smith shak-
ing his head at an alarming rate and the rest of the mem-
ber's following suit.
The band was given a short break when drummer Mike
MacLean left his seat to come forward and speak to the
audience.
"Hi. They don't let me come here and talk so I thought
I'd seize the moment. Wc don't have that stage persona
that like moves people." he said laughing. He was no

The former was littered with a fast funky bass layered
over feedback providixi by guitarist Kayvan Daruian who
often broke into some intricate guitar solos that only
added to the band's already original sound.
The evening was closed with "Tollbox." followc-d by a
thank you from The Mitchells. The crowd responded with
thundering applause and afterwards purchased oiany sin-
gles.
Opening up for the Mitchells was a plethora of local
bands who signed up lo supjx)rt their local Valley musi-

offense, good defense, kicking game does well. You
know, that's a good solid performance, that's what I
like to see," URI coach Floyd Keith said.
"It was just clicking today," Butler said.
For the Rams (4-1 overall, 3-0 in Yankee
Conference). Shyron Sanford, an 18-year old fresh-
man fullback, carried the ball 16 times for 81 yards.
16 more than he had all of this season. The Ram
defense had four sacks on the day. with Lou
D'Ago.stino chalking up two. Butler relumed -six punts
for 78 yards, and Matt Walker booted two field goals.
As for the Minutemen, who fell to 2-2 overall 1 1- 1
in YanCon). they could not get anything established
on the offensive side, and the defense was stymied by
the potent Ram passing attack. As a result, the
University of Massachusetts was shutout for the first
time since the 17-0 lo.ss to Holy Cross in H83.
"It's embarrassing, that's what it is," UMass coach
Mike Hodges said, "and I told the team that. We pan-
icked when things didn't go well and didn't respond.
There is plenty of blame to go around and I'm not
excusing myself."

string as he played in just the first three series'. Fennell
injured his knee in the fourth quarter. He had an MRI

press time. Fennell will definitely be out for this week-

end's home game against New Hampshire.
With Ingoglia out. the Minutemen gained 131
yards. 165 less than their average per game prior to
Saturday's lilt. Frank Alessio rushed for 54 yards,
while Matt Jordan had 44 yards on five carries.
Ingoglia or not, the UMass backfield lacked consis-
tency on the aftemoon.
The passing game had the same problem. Vilo
Campanile threw just three passes in the first half,
and completed one. a seven-yarder to Brian Healy.
Anthony Catterton relieved Campanile in the second
quarter, and went on to throw for 50 yards on a
5-for- 1 2 passing day.
Both QBs were used in the second half, mostly
Catterton. Neither were effective in running the
offense, as they went past the 50-yard line into URI
territory just three times on the day. The ck)sest they
got was to the Ram 55-yard line in the fourth quarter.
"We played a football team that was quicker on all
cylinders today. I give them great ervdil. they played
very well. We couldn't take them out of anything offen-
sively, and the first half defensively." Hodges said.
"Tht7 came out ready to play." Alessio said, "(and)
we just came out a little flat."

Kory Blackwell did not ptay on Saturday. Both starters.
Thomas broke team rules and did nut make the trip,
and Blackwell retumtxi home to Oueens, NY. to deal
with family matters . . URI beat the Minutemen for the
first time since 1<W1. when it defeated UMass 17-14 in
Amherst . . The Minutemen had the top scoring defense
and total defense heading into Saturday's game.

and Bobby Apgar. The light blue
uniforms and dominant passing
game had Rhode Island looking
like Dan Marino and the Miami
Dolphins. Ram quarterback
Hixson threw lo his two favorite
receivers Butler and Apgar all day
long. The pair responded in
impressive fashion, with catch
after catch.
To put into perspective just
how much the Rams threw the
ball. Hixson threw 53 times for
299 yards while the UMass quar-
terback platoon of Vito
Campanile and Anthony
Catterton. threw a combined 15
times for (gulp). 57 yards.
After just twu seasons as the
URI quarterback. Hixson is
already the second leading passer
in school history in boih yards
and touchdowns. Last season, he
threw for 2.125 yards, despite
missing the last two games of the
season with injury.
"They've got great athletes play-
ing the wide-out position and
their quarterback has grown up a
lot since the last couple years."
UMass safety lasun Tudryn said.
"We knew what we had to do and
we didn't do it. Give them credit
for coming in and playing their
butts off."
It became habit for Hixson to
repeatedly thread the needle. He
would hit his receivers in stride
on most occasions. There were
times when the pass was so per-
fect, three UMass defenders exert-
ing pressure could not stop the
Rhode Island aerial assault.
Ram wide receiver Apgar was
Hixson's go-to guy for long
yardage. Apgar caught five balls
for 155 yards and a touchdown.
He also had a highlight reel-type,
touchdown catch negated due to a
Ram penalty.
'lApgar] is a great player and
he made some great catches. The
pressure was right on him."
Tudryn said. 'You've got to give
credit to the quarterback and
credit to the receiver."
"Bobby Apgar is a legitimate
big-time receiver and we couldn't
handle him," Hodges said "For
whatever reason, we couldn't han-
dle him."
On the other side of the field
for Rhode Island was the 5- foot,
7-inch Butler, who hauled in
seven passes for 116 yards
Butler, lacking size, made up the
difference with his explosive
speed and his ability lo get open.
"Butler is a good football player. I
expect him to do those things. He
always runs hard. We all run
hard.' Rhode Island coach Royd
Keith said
The Minutemen lacked offense
in this game, magnifying ihe play
of the defense. Rhode Island's
passing game is clearly above
average. The Minutemen clearly
would prefer to stop a running
attack.
"We played a smooth game, i
believe (UMass) was the No. I
defense in the conference." Keith
said.

Field Hockey gains revenge, upsets Old Dominion
By Brian Perilio
Collegion Staff
STORRS. Conn. — In <i sequel to
a malch-up from a month ago. the
Massachu!<ctls field hockey team
upset No. b Old Dominion yesterday
1-0 on the turf of the Conncctieui
Field ItcKkey Stadium.
Freshman Frica
lohnston blasted her
first collegiate goal
and the game's lone
score, past Lady
Monarch goalie Kim Decker with
29:32 a'maining in the second half.
"It's about time.* Johnston said.
'For once. I just hit it. instead of try-
ing to be too perfect."
lohnston's shot, taken off an assist
from junior inidficlder Kyle
Rothenberger. was perfect however,
as it flew past a diving Decker high
and to the right.
"Erica needed that goal. This will
gel us going." Rothenberger said.
The win gives UMass some
redemption as the team fell to ODU
2-0 in its HKVting three weeks ago.
"This a great win." said
Massachusetts coach Megan
Donnelly. 'Old Dominion is such a
quality team ^'ou beat an ODU team
on turf and you can beat anyone.
Now everyone knows why I keep say-
MassaclHisetts 1
ing that we are a good team."
UMass. who upped their record to
4-t) on the season. 1-0 in the A- 10.
turned on the defense after
Johnston's goal and were able to
withstand several assaults from the
Lady Monarchs.
Goalie Stacy Walker, who played
dc-spite a knee injury the last time the
two teams met, finally
got a chance to face
Old Dominion
healthy.
"Today is very big."
"It's always special
Walker said,
against ODD."
The big defensive play of the game
for UM occurred with 2:04 remain-
iiig. ODU was given a penalty comer,
their sixth in the last 12 minutes, and
junior midfielder Danielle Chellew.
who scored both goals against UMass
in the last contest, had her initial shot
deflected by a diving Walker.
The rebound bounced to Walker's
right, and the ball stopped inches
away from an unprotected net.
"It was like. "Who is going to get
there first?'" Donnelly said.
Fortunately for the Minutewomcn.
the first to reach the ball was sopho-
more .Amy Ott. who fell to the
ground and was able to deflect the
ball out ol bounds with her out-
stretched stick to preserve the 1-0
lead. "She showed a lot of hustle."
Rothenberger said.
"I feel confident with Amy at the
post," Walker said. "I had great
defense in front of me today."
Walker turned in some stellar
saves herself en route to the shutout.
The UMass goalie thwarted 18 ODU
shots, including eight second half
penalty comers.
"Stacy's been key." Rothenberger
said. "She had so many big saves."
"The defense on penally corners
today is a reflection of our true tal-
ent." DoniK'lly said. "We start feeling
like nobody can score on us on cor-
ners."
UMass hopes a win over a Top 10
team will be just what it needs to get
going.
"Old Dominion is such a big rival.*
Rothenberger said. "There is a little
revenge factor there, but |the win)
helps our confidence. Things are real-
ly starting to fall into place for us
now."
The team that defeated Old
Dominion yesterday, is the team that
Donnelly hopes to sec more of.
"Today we went in with the atti-
tude that we were sure we belonged
on the same field with them,"
Donnelly said. "A few times life gives
you a second chance. Today we were
able to take advantage of it."
Men's soccer upsets SF
By Leigh Torbin

Ssn FpskIsco
For the second lime in a week, ihe
Massachusetts men's soccer team has
knocked off a well-respected national
power.
Last Saturday it
was Boston
University, and on
Friday night leg-
endary coach
Stephen Negocsco
and the No. 20 San Franci.sco Dons
fell 4-1 to UMass in the
Reebok/Cardinal Classic at Stanford.
The win. ihe 50th of coach Sam
Koch's UMass career, upped ihe
Minutemen lo 7-5-1 on the season.
luniur midfielder Lee Marlow.
who has made a major impact in a
variety of roles for the Minutemen
this season, scored his first two goals
of the year, spurring UMass onto vic-
tory.
With the absence of last year's
Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year
Karsten Bremke due lo a leg injury.
Marlow had lo step up his play,
which he did.
Marlow opened the scx)ring off of a
Colin lohnson pass at the 26:37
mark. The Minutemen doubled their
lead just under eight minutes later as
Mike Butler scored off of a Dave
Siljanovski feed,
Siljanovski had a pair of assists in
the match and contin-
ues to remain among
the national scoring
leaders,
San Francisco's
Chris McDonald
brought the Dons to wilhin one. just
1:01 later, but UMass took command
of the game in the second half with
Brad Miller and Marlow tallying lo
secure the much-needed victory.
Goalkeeper Eric Cruber held down
the fort for the Minutemen making
five saves. Cruber was hurl in
Tuesday's match at Hartford, but was
able to record the win.
The win was accomplished without
starters joe jacobson and Bremke.
both of whom are currently nursing
injuries.
The milestone 50th victory was
special for Koch as it came at
Stanford, where he started his
coaching career and coached for six
years, before coming lo UMass in
1991,
The 50 wins places him third on
UMass' all-lime list, and his ,61 1
winning percentage (50-50-10) is
unparalleled in school history.
Winning was important for UMass
who had fallen badly Tuesday night
at Hartford after knocking off BU
last Saturday,
The Minutemen have had a
propensity of playing lo Ihe level of
the competition all season long. They
defeated lough BU. but fell to
lack-luster sides in Hartford. New
Hampshire and Fordham,
With a tough challenge in San
Francisco, the Minutemen rose to
the occasion, and recorded their sec-
ond earth-shattering win in seven
days.
The Minutemen played last night
against Koch's old school, and tour-
nament host Stanford. Results were
not available at press lime.

Volleyball sweeps weekend matches
By Steven Grant

Thanks lo the Massachusetts
women's volleyball team, the floor of
the Curry Hicks Cage is looking
mighty spiffy.
The reason'.'
It was swept clean of Owls. Lady
Rams and Explorers this past week-
end by the Minutewomcn. who
improved their Atlantic 10 record
to 4-1. and 1 1-6 overall.
By far the biggest story was
Friday's match, when the University
of Massachusetts took on the Temple
Owls,
Down 2-1 and playing flat, the

Dionne Nasti and the Minutewomen tiad an impressive weekend posting
Atlantic 10 victories over Temple, Fordtiam and LaSalle.
Minutewomen stormed out of the
intermission lo win the next three
grnnes. stunning the Owls and coach
Bob Bertucci.
On Saturday. UMass. still without
the injured Giza Rivera, played host
lo the Fordham Lady Rams (2-11
overall. 0-6 in the A-IO) and the La
Salle Explorers (2-12, 0-6),
By no means did the
Minutewomcn treat these two affairs
as letdowns, as they summarily
swept both opponents, getting the
job done in less than an hour in both
matches,
UMass I, Temple 2 (8-15. 13-15.
15-13. 15-2. 15-12)
This match was truly unbeliev-
able.
The difference in play of UMass
after the second game was reminis-
cent of the Connecticut match,
where the Minutewomen came back
from being down 2-0 only to lose in
the final game.
This lime however, they actually
prevailed, and by doing so won
their first fifth game of the season,
"I told (the team) that we had a
great crowd (351) on hand and that
we were representing a great univer-
sity," UMass coach Bonnie Kenny
said of the locker room chat after
game two,

When the junior halfback look
off her warm-up suit, stepped over
the sideline and onto the field, her
presence was fell immediately.
Less than four minutes after
Myers relumed from her two week
hiatus, she served a ball near Ihe
goal mouth where senior striker
scoring sensation Rachel LeDuc
headed the ball just inside ihc right
post for a lead that UMass would
not relinquish,
"When [Rebecca] came in, she
put a charge into our offense,"
Rudy said, "It was nice to see her
be able lo go out and play as if she

KINGSTON, Rl — The Massachusetts football team
expected Rhode Island quarterback Chris Hixson lo come
out firing. He had 58 passing attempts when Ihe two
teams met last season, and he had already tossed 1 20 pass-
es in the Rams' first three games this year,
Hixson did what he was supposed to. completing 19 of 33
passes for 299 yards, Bobby
Apgar caught five of them
for 1 53 yards, and Cy Butler
had a seven catch, 1 16-yard
afternoon. Nothing new,
nothing shocking.
But the unexpected came out of the backfield ... and the
defensive pressure was consistent throughout the day.
Also, special teams scored a touchdown. The kicking game
wasn't too shabby either. In other words, the rather sur-
prising 34-0 Ram victory in front of Ihe 5.005 in atten-
dance at Meade Stadium was a rout from whistle to whis-
tle, and the help came from various parts of the

France conducts nuclear testing despite opposition
Local activist reacts to testing ■ France intends to continue tests
By Mkhelle Lugo
Collegian Staff
At 7 p.m, eastern time Sunday, the
French government detonated a 110
kiloion bomb, the second of 8
nuclear bombs being tested in the
Pacific,
Yesterday afternoon Athena
Lambrinidou. Greenpeace worker,
sailor and activist who is enraged by
these tests performed a ten minute
street theater piece called "Mala Ara"
next to the Student Union,
In the act Lambrinidou imperson-
ated the different characters such as
generals of the armed forces, doctors
and priests brought lo convince the
Polynesian pet)ple that nuclear testing
was "gixxJ' and safe.
Meanwhile, a large percentage of
the population from these islands
develoi>ed illnesses due to side -effects
from nuclear radiation, which tends
to concentrate in the lungs, liver,
spleen, muscles and bones. For
women this also includes the ovaries,
said Lambrinidou emphasizing this
fact by whispering the word "ovaries"
instead of screaming it like she did
with the other body parts.
According to Lambrinidou and
accounts from the book Testimonies.
many women give birth prematurely,
bear babies without bones, babies
whose skin falls off. or babies who
turn black and die.
The act was based on true-life
accounts written in a book by a
French doctor titled Testimonies.
Artmnd the lime the bo«.)k was pub-
lished around the mid '80s the
French government had temporarily
ceased testing, until this summer.
With songs, monologues and a sim-
ple paintings as a backdrop she
explained a short history of nuclear
testing. "In lune 1*W5 lacques Chirac
the newly elected president of France
announced that he had decided it was
necessary for France's nuclear deter-
rent to explode 8 more nuclear bombs
in the fragile coral atolls of Moruroa
and Fangataufa (Polynesia) The tests
are to lake place in the period
between September 1995 and May
1996," according to lambrinidou,
Lambrinidou said she was sur-
prised that the press coverage in the
United Slates was minimal and sug-
gested it is because French and
American governments share nuclear
information In Europe about 70 per-
cent of the people are protesting and
it erupted into violence in some
ca.ses, she said.
Lambrinidou said she had already
seen many forms of environmental
destruction and that the nuclear tests
were more than thai. She said she
had finally seen the "raping of colo-
nialism" not in a book or in some
prize winning photograph but in
front off her eyes.
Lambrinidou ended the demon-
stration with three suggestions for
people who want to do more. She
said to boycott french products, write
letters to the French consulates or
embassies explaining the boycotting
of their products, or contact
Greenpeace.

PAPEETE. Tahiti - Emboldened
by lukewarm reaction to its second
nuclear lest in the South Pacific.
France reaffirmed its commitment
Monday to press ahead with more
underground blasts. The environmen-
tal group Greenpeace called Sunday's
lest beneath Fangataufa Atoll in
French Polynesia "an enormous
affront," Australia and New Zealand
lodged formal protests with the
French government, and New
Zealand again called in the French
ambassador there.
But the United Slates and other
key allies merely expressed "regret"
at the test, and Britain and Germany
reacted with indifference.
"I haven't heard any demands —
I've only heard regrets," Foreign
Minister Herve de Chareite of France
said at a meeting of European foreign
ministers in Luxembourg,
With no immediate political fallout
at risk. Premier Alain Juppe said
Monday that France will conduct up
to six more tests and "be among the
first" to sign a global test ban treaty
next year. President Jacques Chirac of
France has promised to sign the
treaty after the tests, which he con-
tends are safe and necessary to check
France's nuclear arsenal and develop
computerized simulation tests.
The test Sunday was more than
five limes stronger than the first one.
ihe French Defense Ministry said
Monday The ministry, in a terse
Ntatement. said only thai the blast
was "less than 1 10 kilotcms."
New Zealand seismologists esti-
mated the blast was about 100 kilo-
tons and produced a shock wave
equal to a 5.9 magnitude earthquake
The Sept. 5 test on nearby
Mururoa Atoll measured less than 20
kiloions. slightly larger than the
bomb dropped on Hiroshima in
1945. The tests are conducted about
a half-mile below ground. The latest
blast was widely believed to be a test
of the TN-75 warhead for France's
new submarine-launched nuclear
missile. The Foreign Ministry repeal-
ed on Monday that France might
shorten the series of tests, now
planned to end by June, if it gels
enough information from the first
few blasts.
But environmental groups aiKl the
nations of the South Pacific have
reacted angrily lo the tests, which
break a three-year moratorium. The
world's other nuclear powers, except
China, have not tested nuclear arms
since 1992.
"It is a wrong call for FraiKe politi-
cally and it is
irresponsible en vironmen tally."
said New Zealand's prime minister,
lim Bolger.
Sunday's blast also provoked s-wifi
condemnation from the prime minis-
ter of Australia and from the 16
nation South Pacific Forum of island
states.
"The latest test will strengthen the

she is receiving credit. Jessica said
her motives aren't strictly
school -related.
"I would 've come to the fair even
if I wasn't in the |honors| program."
she said. "It's a very nice fair."
Family fun and support was the
central theme of the festival and
remains the focus of the Amherst
Family Center. For ten years, the
center has provided a place for par-
ents and children lo meet, have
fun. take classes and receive sup-
port from one another.
In addition, the AFC acts as a safe
haven for parents to bring their chil-
dren and lake a break from the ofien
stressful duties of raising a family.
Located at the North
Congregational Church in North
Amherst, the center is funded sole-
ly on the donations of local busi-
nesses, religious & civic organiza-
tions and individuals.
The center also receives support
from the United Way and WMAS
radio, but the Apple Harvest &
Crafts Festival remains it's largest
central fundraiser.
To the majority of the people in
the town of Ajnherst. the festival has
become an effective means of getting
together and meeting new faces, said
AFC Chairperson Elaine Shumway,
"(The festival) is a warm and
inviting place to meet people." she
said.
Fellowship and community self
help are what the Amherst Family
Center strive for and what the

The speeches were part of the Five College Piiigram and
WorW Security Studies (PAWSS) fall semester Itxture series,
Charisse Adamson. senior researcher lor the Project on
Demilitarization and Democracy in Washington, dis-
cussed the impact of land mines on third world nations.
In describing the loss of economic productivity suffered
by nations where mines are deployed. Adamson cited the
high cost of land mine removal
"Land mines can cost as little as $5 a piece, but to clear
these land mines can cost between S'iCX) and $1000 (per
mine)." she said, "It's a painstaking, dangerous job "
"I was taken aback by how many peopfe were missing a k.-g or
an ami." she said in her destriptitin of civilians she saw (m her
way to a "de-mining" operation in Cambodia this past summtT.
Adamson cited inadequate technology as a contributor
to the difficulty of mine detection and removal.
"The United Nations estimates that there are 105 million
land mines deployed in 62 countries," she said. "It will cost
$200 to $500 billion (in 1995 dollars! lo clear them."
Adamson characterized the use of land mines as offen-
sive, rather than defensive, in third world conflicts.
"They are often deployed in areas which strike at Ihe
heart of the community's productive capacity. Land mines
are often planted in civilian areas like agricultural fields
and grazing lands." she said, also citing bush paths, roads
and water wells as common sites for mine laying,
Africa burdened with mines
According to Adamson, Africa is the wiirid's most heavily mined
oontinent with "18 to 30 milbon mines laying in ISoxintries"
Using Mozambique as a case study, she focused on the
specific economic effects of land mines.
"Land mines were haphazardly ,,, placed by Renamo
forces in civilian areas in order to terrorize and de-stabi-
lize the civilian population," she said.
In response, the government laid mines around urban
centers and important infrastructure to deter rebel
attacks. This process of mine laying and counter-laying
led to a what Adamson called a "critical mass" of mines.
The danger is compounded by the fact that virtually no
records were kept as to the locations of the estimated 2
million ijiines laid in Mozambique, As a result, great num-
bers ol citizens are dnven Irom the mitie inlesied country-
side into overcn>wded urban cniters, causing the country's
economy, which is 80 lo 90 peaeni agricultural, lo operate
at only a fraction of its economic potential Adanistin also
cited the intivasing number of people dependent on food
assistance, due to debilitating injuries incurred by mines, as
a drain on the economy
In addition, ihe dysfunctkinal stale of railniads and highways
as a result ( if land mines has cost the cixintry an estiniiittxl $ 1 tX)
million each yi-ar in potential transport fees panl by /unhabwe
and South Africa for the use of Mozambique s main harbor.
U.S. leads in arms sales
According to Adamson, the major suppliers of land
mines up until the end of the Cold War were Western and
Communist countries She cited Czechoslovakia, Italy, the
former Soviet Union and Yugoslavia as the lending pro
ducers over the last decade, but added that Pakistan and
China comprised a new league of major producers
In the U.S.. Senator Ix-ahy (IXtiuicral, Vl ) has lead the
charge in ami land mine legislation, including the 1992 pas-
sage ol a moratorium on U.S. land mine exports Another
bill, which provides for a one year ban on the use i>f land
mines by the U.S. military has also been passed in the
Senate, but is expected to face stiff opposition in the Fknise.
The military has lobbied strongly, arguing that land
mines are an indispensable part of their arsenal.
Lora Lumpe. Director of the Federation of American
Scientists' Arms Sales Monitoring Project, who spoke after
Adamson. asserted that passage of the moratorium on
exports was a victory in conventional arms control, though
a largely symbolic one. She cited personnel land mines as
one of only twt) conventional weapons whose export is
being restricted. The rest, she claimed, "are up lor grabs,"
According lo Lumpe, U.S. weapons exports, estimated
at $15 billion each year, account for 50 lo 75 percent of
the world trade in conventional Weapons, with '75 percent
of the exports going to developing countries in the Middle
Easl, South East Asia. Africa and Latin America
Citing the greatc-st post Cokl War thrvat to the U.S. as "third
worki a-gional instability." I.unipe clauiiod that the United Slates'
amiing of devekiping natkms is inherently conlT-.idk.tory since it

The CtKle of Conduct on Arms Transfers, a piece of leg-
islation which would qualify countries as recipients of
U.S. amis exports only upon meeting several strict condi-
tions, is in the process of House deliberations.
WMUA program examines Community Empowerment Act
By Amy H. Porodysz
Collegian Staff
Ken Mosakowski, head of the Amherst Housing
Authority. hosted three members of a
Cambridge-based political group behind the
Community Empowerment Act on his WMUA
radio program. "Focus." this past Sunday.
Ken Eisenberg. Anne Macaulay and Steve
Orzack from Political Action for Community
Empowerment (PACE), a group which is working
to get the Community Empowerment Act on the
ballot, explained what the act entails and why it
should be passed.
The Community Empowerment Act would give
Massachusetts towns and cities the freedom to
respond to one of several "emergencies" with a
two-thirds vote, as opposed the three-fourths vote
currently required. If the act. which is being pro-
posed by initiative petition, gets enough signatures,
it will appear on the ballot in November of 1996.
Eisenberg said.
The "emergencies" included in the proposal are
"the over- expansion of tax-exempt institutions:
speculative development of undeveloped land:
overextensive housing development that over-
whelms local resources: the displacement of renter
households by evictions, rent increases, or condo-
minium conversion: the loss of small- scale busi-
nesses in town centers; the loss of federal and state
support for housing low-income households: and
the loss of historically valued sites,"
One reason why the proposal is of interest to
Amherst is that the town was one of four
Massachusetts cities that had some form of rent
control before "Question 9," which eliminated rent
control, was passed last year. Mosakowski said,
"This is not the imposition of rent control."
Eisenberg said, "It's giving the choice back to the
community to decide,"
Eisenberg said he believes Amherst and
Cambridge have unique problems because of their
relationships to universities — the University of
Massachusetts and Harvard,
"Its ,., a community of the elite — the people
who are the closest to the center of power." said
Eisenberg. "When you're dealing with a major
University town or city, that would be the students,
the professors and the people that basically employ
the graduates or the graduate students.
"You're dealing with ,,. finite geography
There's no building out anymore.,. You can only
put in so much vertical sprawl before basically the
idea is to gel the inessential elements of your com
munily out ,,," said Eisenberg.
Low-income residents will be pushed out. he

UMass Jewish students given more
choices during Yom Kippur holiday
By Jacob W. Michaels
Collegion Staff
The High Holidays continue
tomorrow as jews across the world
observe Yom Kippur. the Day of
Atonement.
And on the Amherst campus of the
University of Massachusetts lewish
students will have more of a choice
about where to go lo this year.
In addition lo the usual services
that have been done in the past on
campus, Hillel is holding another Ira
ditional service in the Hillel House
Yom Kippur, which is observc-d by
fasting for the day, is one of the most
important holidays on the fewish
Calendar.
According to Rabbi Saul
Perlmutier, of UMass flillcl, Yom
Kippur is special, in part, because it
focuses on the individual and where
they are going in their lives. It does
not commemorate some past lewish
event like Chanukah and Passover."
Hillel is adding a traditional con-
servative service in the Hillel House
lo their usual service in the Student
Union BallrtKim.
"Basically what we're trying to do
is provide for the many needs of our
lewish student community."

In the September 28 article "Medicare educ«tion spurs action", Medicaid and Medicare were confused with each
other. Medicaid provides basic healthcare insurance for 35.5 million of the poi>rest pi-oplc in the nation. It it a
shared fediTal and Mate program. Medicare provided care for 57 million erf the nation's djerly and disabled. These
figures are as of luly of thia year. Natalie jarmon. a UMa$« alumna quoted in the article, said the Republican led con-

In a phone conversation, Eisenberg
said Cambridge residents are being
displaced by rent increases of up to
500 percent, to make room for the
expansion of Harvard.
Although Mosakowski remind-
ed the audience that the
Community Empowerment Act is
about more than just rent con-
trol, the radio program focused
on that topic.
PACE needs 65.000 signatures by
Dec. I . in order to get the proposal
on the ballot, according to
Mosakowski. Money is also a con-
cern.
'We have to keep in mind that we
barely lost last time TOuesiion 9"|.
even though the real estate [organiza-
tion | spent SI. 100.000." Eisenberg
said.
The discussion indicated that
opponents of "Question 9" were
defending small property owners.
However, according to Eisenberg.
"Owner occupied dwellings of no less
than three and no more than ten
units, would be exempt from any rent
regulations."
"That could take away from the
whole contention about small prop-
erty owners who are just trying to
pay the mortgage, or pay the taxes or
pay for maintenance," Eisenberg
said.
Macaula>, a grass roots orga-
nizer for PACE, has contacted the
55 most widely read newspapers
in Massachusetts. She said hun-
dreds of people fought "Question

Community Empowerment Act on
the ballot.
"We're pestering our friends on the
streets. We're pestering our neigh-
bors." Macaulay said. "We're out
there in a very big way."
Orzack said that when he talks
to people on the streets and they
hear that "none of this is imposed."
he has been getting positive

EWC director sheds light on organization
By Jane Oh
Collegian Staff
The Everywoman's Center, created
in 1972. is a place where women can
receive quality services, share infor-
mation, suppon each other and work
together in a comfortable multicultur-
al environment. The mission of EWC
is 10 provide leadership in promoting
educational
access and equity
for women in
higher education.
Carol Wallace
is the director ol
t h e
Everywoman's
Center located ai
Wilder Hall and
Nelson House.
O: What exactly do you do at the
EWC?
A: I'll be starting my ninth year as
director of the EWC. I am responsible
for overseeing the programs and ser-
vices at EWC. as well as supervising
the professional staff. I also do lots of
other work on campus and in the
communiy. For example. I co-chair
the Faculty Senate Status of Women
Council and serve on the Hampshire
County Partnership for f lealth board.
1 do public relations work, including
writing the annual report for FY 95.
as well as grant writing. The EWC
was awarded $500,000 for five years.
I'm currently overseeing a five year
plan to see how we can make the
most in providing culturally diverse
services as well as how we can
restructure the EWC to strengthen its
identity.
Q; Since you've been at EWC for
quite a while, you've probably six'n it
grow and change titroughout the
years.
A: The EWC is one of the oldest and
largest campus based women's cen-
ters in the country. The EWC has
grown as a multicultural organization:
it has grown in its ability to serve all
cultures. We've diversified our fund-
ing as well, currently, one-third of
our funding comes externally. We
have also gotten better and belter in
terms of being a training site for stu-
dents and volunteers. Last year, we
employed 150 students and volun-
teers.
Q: What does the EWC symbolize
to you?
A: The EWC symbolizes ensuring
access and equity for women, empow-
ering women to take full control of
you include men'.'
A: I absolutely do. I believe that we
need to work together in coalition, to
be allies, to recognize allies and to
develop allies. There is strength in
numbers.
Q; Are you familiar with the notion
that EWC dislikes men and does not
welcome them? What do you think
about that?
A: Yes. There are
lots of stereotypes
about women and
women's centers. 1
know women who
don't come here
because they think
it's for lesbians,
women who don't
come here because
they think you have to be middle or
upp>er class and colored women who
don't come because they think you
have to be white. There are also lots
of stereotypes about feminists. We are
not that stereotype. We are incredibly
committed to doing outreach to
everybody and providing resources to
everybody. The reality is that we pro-
vide many services to men.
Q: What kind of
services? Why
would or should a
man come to EWC?
A The EWC has
comprehensive refer-
ral services, if a man
was looking for
information for a
friend, daughter,
partner or himself.
Even if we can't pro-
vide, we can refer.
We also provide
counseling for
women and their
partners. Also, our
rape crisis services
are available to any
victim of violence.
The
Educator/Advocate
Program does many
workshops and train-
ings on violence
against women. Last
year. I8tt workshops were conducted
on violence against women. Typically,
half of the participants are male.
G: Did you ever expect that you
would be doing this kind of work?
A: Not really. I grew up in the '50s
and 'bOs. in a time and place where
sex role stereotypes were very
ingrained. There weren't a lot of
options for women. I felt stifled and I

that by acting like a boy. In the late
'60s and early 'TOs. 1 discovered
women's movements and I discovered
that there was nothing wrong with me
but a lot wrong with society. That's
the point I knew 1 wanted the focus of
my life to be around "social-just"
issues. In A'verything I did. how I
raised my kids, who my friends were,
those pieces were always integrated.
0: Do you consider yourself a femi-
nist? And what does that mean to
you?
A: Yes. I'm a feminist and to me, it
means that I have the same opportu-
nities in this world as men. I want a
world where everybody has equal
access and opportunity. As a white
person. I have privilege but as a
woman. 1 lose it.
Q: Recently, there has been a lot of
female activism, but do you think
women really have made progress in
the world?
A. Progros has been slow and iso-
lated 1 can sit here and look back to
when I was a kid and know that I've
had opportunities my mother never
had, as well as know that my daugh
ters will have opportunities I've never
had. But when
I look at the
world. I know
there's still a
long way to
go. There are
pockets of
places where
women have
made progress
but many oth-
ers where we
haven't. For
example, the
United States
is the only
industrialized
nation that
has refused to
ratify the lb
y e a r - o 1 d
United
Nations Treaty
on women's
rights We
really don't
have a tremendous to be proud of.
Abortion is under assault, as is afFir-
mative action. And the number of
women in congressional seats is
declining
Q: Any final thoughts?
A; If you've never been to the
EWC. please come check us out. We
need to work together, all of us.

New welfare reform close at hand
Congress poised to crack down on immigrants on welfare
By Jennifer Dixon
Associoted Press
WASHINGTON — If Republicans get their way.
people who renege on promises to support immi-
grant relatives could be lorced to repay the govern-
ment for any public assistance those family members
receive.
It's one way that Congress is trying to crack down
on health and welfare benefits paid to more than a mil-
lion non-citizens.
Lawmakers may go even further and decide to bar
lower-paid Americans from bringing immigrant family
members into the country -- a problem lor military
personnel who marry while stationed abroad.
The crackdown on legal immigrants who wind up
cm welfare is part of a larger elforl by Congress to cut
federal spending by billions ot dollars, undo the social
programs of the Nevt' Deal and Clreat Society, and turn
responsibility lor the po»-)r over to the stales.
The fiouse passed its welfare overhaul in March: the
Seiidic loUoyyed 111 September,
Many specifics of the legislation must be worked out
by House and Senate negotiators, but the bottom line is
the same: millions of legal i.nmigrants eventually will
lose their right to receive a wide range of public K-ne-
fits, from food stamps and cash to disability payments
and non-emergency health care.
Under both bills, the families who bring these
immigrants to the United Slates will be held to the
promises they have made to support their relatives.
Today, such promises are not legally binding due to
court decisions.
People who sponsor an immigrant relative would be
required, subjcxt to a $5.1KK) penalty, to notify aulhorilic-s
wheiKver the sjK>n.s».)r> move. The spon.sors also couki be
held liable for the costs of any services or benefits provid-
ed to the immigrant b> public assistance prv)granis.
Congressional auditors estimate 14 million legal
immigrants are enrolled in two welfare programs.

:her> would have made them and we
■•■^•uld have surely perished
CXir ancestor*., the cavemen, were pn-
marily hunterv and gatherers In order
to survive, a man had to kill animals
and pick nuts and berries It he was to
have a home, he would hunt and gather
around that atve The surrounding area
would become his territory.
Let's suppose another invader cave-
man was to Stan hunting and gather-
ing in our caveman's terriiory. thereby
reducing the food he could take in for
himself, his mate and their cavckids
There would be a distinct pussibiliiv
that he and his family would not be
able to survive. Our caveman, not out of will, but need.
would have to drive off or kill the intruder. In order to
survive, a man had to be brave and. at times, violent.
Sometimes, he would join a band of friends who could
together monitor an even larger area. The caveman soon
learned that it was easier to survive amongst a group of
buddies than to do it alone.
Many of the tendencies picked up by our caveman ances-
tors are still with us today. We can be territorial, violent
and like to stick in groups of other men. but it's not really
our fault. It's the way we have evolved.
Another way in which men have retained some of their
caveman tendencies can be seen in the way they deal with
women. Originally, while the men were hunter-gatherers,
women were primarily child bearers To keep the species

going a .<j>cn.j;-. t^^^ .^ ..:.„ „ ,,.„.. .^..^
bearing many children.
Ca\emen developed a keen servse for detecting this kind of
woman Some of the characteristics that
— — ^^— ^— — would make a good male were youth,
health and hips wide enough for child
delivery. Not surprisingly, men nowa-
days look for the same qualities in a
mate. They even tend to notice these
qualities when they already have a mate.
Once a caveman found a woman
who attracted him. he had to impress
her to prove that he was deserving of
her Millions of years ago killing a
large animal or lifting a boulder would
suffice, but now men prove their
wonh by chugging beer, belching and
punching other men in the arm. These
habits may seem quite silly, but they
have played a very important role in
the evolutionary process.
When he found his mate, the cave-
man's instinct led him to try and propa-
gate the species. Once he realized he
was able to father more than one
.avekid at a time, he looked for other
women with whom he could reprvKluce.
At that point, the quality of relation-
-nips wasn't the important thing, the
quantity of relationships was. Now.
many men arc criticized for their fear of a serious relation-
ship and their desire to cheat This trait seems to have come
directly from our caveman arwestors
Over the past million years, we men have done quite a
bit of evolving, but some of the tendencies that are hardest
to suppress are the ones that have kept us surviving and
thriving throughout that lime period \Khen it all comes
down to it. we are still cavemen and even though our
actions may seem barbaric at times, they've come not
without reason. We are creatures of instinct in a world
where instinct no longer plays a part Maybe, after another
million years, we will evolve to the point where we will no
longer be ruled by these primal Instincts, but don't hold
your breath waiting.

Letters to the Editor
Article full of igfwrmice
To the Editor:
"The government has been overthrown by bribery!" "A
conspiracy by the rich has divided us!" "The media and
universities are puppets of the well off!" "Democracy is
dead!" Enlightened thinking or just another squabbling
radical?
The editorial "% could be the year" by |ohn Harrigan
in the Sept. 29 issue of the Collegian arguably falls
under the latter, not the former. The article suffers
from broad and unconvincing generalities about the
'hegemonic rich." Despite popular belief, the top
income bracket in this country did not divide us into
warring factions, buy off the media and colleges to keep
us misinformed, or select all of our candidates for elect-
ed office.
Last time that I checked, competing factions (i.e. pro-
choice, pro-life, liberal, conservative ctc.i where what
promoted democracy, not detracted from it. Though
the author of last Friday's article seems to support cre-
ating more democracy, he indirectly advocates just the
opposite. The unity he seeks with the populace in regu-
lating the economy, ending crime in America, and strip-
ping power from the "rich" can only be fully achieved
by means of a dictatorship. Is he really a fascist in dis-
guise?
The arguments concerning the media and universities
being bought off by the wealthy are absurd. Granted,
the media has made errors of judgment by keeping vital
information from the public that should not have been
withheld. But media has aKo been instrumental in
keeping citizens informed about some foreign wars (i.e.
Vietnam) and has played a large role in keeping politi-
cians more honest to the people. As for the charges
against universities. I know of no other campus that
encourages more debate and thought on a wealth of
different issues than this one. If you feel devoid of
information, you are not searching hard enough
The real misinformed often breed ignorance, as last
Friday's editorial clearly illustrates. The author of "'96
could be the year" should be more concerned with
studying the issues he cares so much about and regis-
tering to vote than writing misdirected pieces on gov-
ernment.

PhD program left out of article
To the Editor:
Your Sept. 29 story on campus doctoral programs
that the National Research Council report rates
among the best in the nation unfortunately did not
mention the PhD program in German. Our doctor-
al program was ranked 19th in the United States
by the NRC study (ahead of similar programs at
the University of Illinois, the University of
Michigan. UCLA and Georgetown, to name a few).
I am proud of the ranking of our doctoral pro-
gram. We should all. I think, feel a sense of pride
in the solid achievement of so many of our depart-
ments during the budgetary distress of the last six
years.
As the campus community congratulates itself on the
success of its top-ranked programs, however, a word of
caution is in order. As the heads of several other
nationally ranked departments were cited as saying in
your Sept. 29 story, continued investment in the acade-
mic enterprise is necessary. The Commonwealth must
be persuaded to increase its appropriations to the
University of Massachusetts over the coming decade.
Otherwise, far fewer programs will rank in the "top 20"
when the next NRC report is released

Countries ' goals misinterpreted
To the Editor:
Last Friday. I ran into one of my French fellows. He
seemed pretty irritated, and without a word, handed me
a copy of the Collegian, pointing at Peter Orvetti's col-
umn. "The mighty powerful France."
The first attack on France is about its relationship with
Germany. I sure can't know much, as I am a native of
such a lame country as France, but President Mitterand
and Chancellor Kohl were among the two country lead-
ers who met the most ofien. I am not judging, I am just
stating facts — which probably makes me a much
worse journalist than Mr. Orvetti.
Then there was the attack on France's place in the
world. France is rated as the 4th most powerful country
in the world, behind (in that order) Germany, United
States and lapan. If being 4th out of some 170 coun-
tries makes France a "second-rate industrial democra-
cy," then I guess there are as many as 80 rates in the
world.
So let's now talk about the nuclear tests ran by
President Chirac. Not agreeing with those tests is not
enough to give President Chirac such motives as
"reminding the world that France has the ability to seri-
ously damage its neighbors." If these tests reminded
Mr. Orvetti France was a nuclear power, fine. There are
some educated people in this country — and elsewhere
in the world — who never forgot France had the bomb.
Calling President Mitterand "a man of limited talents"
again shows Mr. Orvetti's lack of information. You can
not deny the intelligence of the man, unless you want to
deliberately insult the French people who elected him
for 14 years, and I am sure this not the intention of Mr.
Orvetti. Was it?
Mr. Orvetti describes Prejideni Chirac as being "anti-
immigrant, anti-poor and anti-homeless." Such an
opinion you might think would be supported by some
evidence. Let's take the "evidence" of the anti-part: the
arrest of "random immigrants." Reading Mr. Orvetti's
paper. 1 fell like President Chirac just woke up one
morning, deciding suddenly. "I'll have some arrests for
breakfast today." I laughed at Mr. Orvetti's line, "the
official reason is fear of bombings." Shall I remind Mr.
Orvetti that more than 20 people were killed, over 150
people were injured, and four bombs exploded, while
the police efforts managed to prevent two other explo-
sions?
France is not living in fear of hypothetical events.
France is taking measures to prevent these bombings to
go on. Mr. Orvetti also forgot to mention that Algerians
have brought war onto France's soil already, with the
murder of a well- known Algerian while he was visiting
France last |uly.
Is Mr. Orvetti counting every identity check in the
"800.000 North Africans detained?" In that case, let
me finish this way: my family being from Tunisia. I
have such a "dark complexion." and I have been
checked twice in Paris in August. And so what? The
sketches described the supposed terrorists to be North
Africans, and I'd rather be checked than feeling the
government was not taking care of this problem.
France has not decided to arrest random North
Africans. France is defending its people. And I am
proud of it.

Opinion/Editorial
The inside to corporate maneuvers
Editor's note: This column is the
first of tino parts.
This has certainly been a summer
lor mergers and monopolies I
listened to National Public
Radio every day and read the Boston
Globe almost every other day
Companies such as Walt Disney and
Capital Cities/ABC. IBM and Lotus.
Wesiinghouse and CBS merged with
other in corporate marriages. As I
write this, many other mergers are in
the making, waiting to unfold at a
timely hour under scrutiny of the
Department of lustice Sort of.
Interestingly enough, each merger
seemed invariably connected to a
large reduction of
their respective staff
and employees. .All
these events made me
look back on this
long, hot summer
and wonder just what was happening.
Starting after final exams in May, I
worked for a company that I will
never forget. In fact, with the assis-
tance of a temfHjrary staffing agency,
I stumbled onto the doorsteps of a
large fortune 500 company. I learned
about the dynamics of corporate man-
agement and, invariably, decisions
that affect large numbers of people.
The company, which I will not name,
decided to close down various distrib-
ution centers around the country.
The branch that I worked for was
included in that death list. What was
reason for the closings? Well, they
gave me many different responses
when 1 invoked the question.
Outdated facilities, reducing costs,
global and market competition and
corporate downsizing were only a few
of the reasons I heard from various
"higher-ups."
The company was not in absolute
financial straits: they were operating
successfully, thriving according to sta-
tistical profit margins. Yet, despite
the number-crunching research and
William
Bailey- Eisenhauer
multitudinous volumes oi aaia tuciing
executive decisions, the ones who suf-
fered the most were the average peo-
ple who worked in the company.
They became all too familiar with a
concept I learned about during my
summer job.
Out-sourcing
Out-sourcing Is a way of contract-
ing services to outside agencies to
handle formerly internal company
functions. For example, a company
that no longer wishes to maintain an
in-house accounting department
oui-sourccs it to an external agency.
The accounting department no longer
works directly for the companv. but
instead to
contracted
external
dgencv.
The benefits
of such
out-sourcing are reduced costs for
the company to their employees. The
companv and the employee bread the
bond of legal union and mutual
responsibility. The corporation
out-sourcing their department no
longer takes care of hiring com-
plaints, discrimination suits, litigation
or costly benefits such as medical care
or life insurance.
The out-sourcing agency now controls
all department functions as stipulated in
the out-sjurcod agreement. All of this is
conducive to lowering company
liability/expenses. Out-sourcing is a com-
ponent of an economic policy gencTally
referred to as Downsizing This measure
is an overall cost-cutting technique used
to reduce the expc-nscs in a given industry.
Downsizing serxes the immediate
and projected long term goal of bol-
stering quarterly profits, improving
capital revenue, reducing human or
capital liabilities and thus improving
stock-holder investment speculation.
Downsizing in a corporate environ-
ment is a rational, no nonsense, statis-
tical methcxl of surviving cut-throat
global competition.
But is it really?
In lapan, before the current (1990)
economic policy of sloughing
American workers from the work
force began, the small island invested
two to three times more in their
worker than American companies
did. Also, contradictory to Western
thought, the lapanese continued to
hire more people in the early I990's
while Western unemployment soared.
The reasons and explanations for
this are varied, however. Eamonn
Fingletons book Blindside: Why lapan
Is Still on Track to Overtake the US
by the '^'ear 2000. makes some inter-
esting comparisons between Western
and Eastern economic traditions.
I remember reading in a Globe arti-
cle that a CEO once stated. "I asked
for a pair of hands and I get a human
instead." What are the ramifications
of out-sourcing policy? Well, at my
summer job. a handful of people who
worked at the company (some
worked for the company for up to 40
years) decided to retire.
The company did not have a history
of investing or allocating time or
resources to improve its employees'
technical background or computer
related skills during their employ-
ment. Many of them struggle with the
basics of a computer.
Those who arc old enough and
financially stable enough to retire
leave the corporate retrace. They are
the lucky ones. They retire cognizant
of contemporary work force problems
such as hiring ageism, racism or
out-dated worker-ism that plague the
employment sector today. Instead of
fighting these "isms," they pursue a
lifestyle outside of the mainstream
and retire. They face a reduced quali-
ty of life that cannot be countered or
assuaged entirely by social security or
pension benefits.

NBA visits Romper Room
The Minnesota Timbcrwolves should consider mov-
ing to Las Vegas. Thev're certainly willing to gam-
ble.
On NBA draft day, the perennially cellar-dwelling
Timberwolves passed on a multitude of proven college
players, and selected Kevin Garnett. a 6' 9" forward from
Farragut Academy in Chicago, with the fifth pick overall in
the drafi.
While most draftees were college grads in their early
20s, the teenage Garnet! was barely a month removed
from his high school prom.
The selection of Garnett sent shock _
waves through the entire basketball com- Kevin Comett hOS

scout,' Garnett has sufficient skills. The taken 0 reasonably
issue at hand is how the basketball com- unchartcd rOUte in

the established status quo by bypassing
college and heading directly to the NBA.
With the ofien exorborant salaries being

together is surging. Ten underclassmen

avoiding the mess that
college basketball is
becoming. He's simply
averting the issue alto-
: taken in July's drafi. the most ever, gather and going dirCCt-
e of the lop five picks stuck along j ^ ^, _ r • i
long enough to receive a degree.
Attending college has never been
much of an issue in either hockey or
baseball where prospects frequently
bypass their eligibility in favor of the
pros. This is not the case in football and
basketball, the NCAA's top two revenue generating sports.
The NCAA recently signed a new eight-year 1.725 bil-
lion dollar deal with CBS for the broadcast right to the
NCAA men's basketball tournament. NCAA regulations
prohibit a penny of that gargantuan sum from going to its
student- athletes in excess of their scholarship.
Feeling used by schools, increasing numbers of student-
athletes in both football and basketball have departed
from college for greener pastures in the NBA.
For the student-athlete's sake, the advantages to staying
in school are obvious. A college education, and a free one
at that, is an opportunity extended to few in this country.
The NBA and its gigantic dollar signs can be tempting to
an inner-city athlete, gigantic enough to make them forgo
their education for a shot at the big-time.
Suddenly the "student" is removed from "student-ath-
lete," and the NCAA looks like a miser for insisting that its
student-athletes be amateurs.
Paying student-athletes would be detrimental lo the
NCAA's founding purposes though, prostituting the orga-
nization at the hands of the almighty dollar.
A general principle of the NCAA (2.8) states that
"jStudenl-athletes in] their participation should be moti-
vated primarily by education and by the physical, menial
and social benefits to be derived.
Student participation in intercolle-
giate athletics is an avocation, and
student-athletes should be protect-
ed from exploitation by professional
and commercial enterprises."
College basketball is changing:
less in the spirit of amateurism, and
more as a warm-up for a profes-
sional career and the multi-million
dollar contract that awaits top rook-
ies in the promised land of the
NBA.
Kevin Gameit has taken a reason-
ably uncharted route in avoiding the
mess that college basketball is
becoming. He's simply averting the
issue altogether anA going directly
to the professional ranks.
His success or failure at the
sport's highest level will prove lo be
a bench-mark for future top prep players. He couW suc-
ceed, be rewarded with riches and fame, and thus encour-
age other top players to wrongfully shun college.
On the contrary. Garnett could either prove loo imma-
ture or physically undeveloped lo handle the NBA and
become one of the biggest busts of the decade. He could
suffer a career-ending injury and be left with no basket-
ball, and no education.
High school seniors would come lo realize the benefits
of a college education and the intrinsic value of a college
experience. The dollar value of an NBA contract would be
minuscule next to the value of four years of school.
Here's hoping Garnett fails.

Piano concert highlights
Bach, Chopin & Bartok

DEUGHTS'
fieronson Hall
September 30
Professor Nigel Coxe enchanted
the audience with his piano recital
"Suites. Fantasies and Other
Delights' this past Saturday night.
In an overcrowded Be^anson
Hall. Coxe performed a program
consisting ol pieces by IS Bach.
Claude Debussy. Bela Bartok and
Frederic Chopin The concert was
dedicated to the ntemory of Tom
Malone. who died in |uly at the
age of 42.
Coxe recounted his first meet-
ing with Malone 20 years ago.
when Malone started his studies
in Coxe's piano class saying that
he was "a wonderful and consci-
entious student."
A born craftsman. Malone
decided to work as a piano techni-
cian. He graduated in the Piano
Technology Program at North
Bennett Street School.
After receiving The Baldwin
Fellowship, he began to work with
pianos at Tangiewood. Malone
also published many theoretical
articles about piano.
'Many great artists such as
Leonard Bernstein appreciated
Malone as a professional and a
private person." Coxe said. "Tom
Malone had a wonderful sense of
humor and wrote amusing short
stories."
'I deeply share, together with
Tom"s family, his close friends
and many artists, the grief over
Tom's death.' Coxe said at the
end of his specxh.
Coxe started his program with a
brilliant performance of Bach's
"French Suite No. I in D minor."
followed by a powerful play of
Bach's "Fantasy and Fugue in A
minor."
"Debussy might seem far away
from Bach, but his first piece
"Pour Le Piano" is a homage to
the Baroque era." Coxe said
announcing the next composer.
The audience was very taken
with Coxe's rousing performance
of "Pour Le Piano" and answered
with a longlasting applause. After
the intermission Coxe continued
with Bartok's "Improvisations on
Hungarian Peasant Song.'
"In his late twentieth century
works. Debussy anticipated the
music of Bartok. You can plainly
hear his influence on the first
movement of Bartok's 'Peasant
Songs." Coxe said, explaining the
link between the two composers.
in addition to this he drew the
attention of the audience to the
folk elements in this music.
"You can really sec little land-
scape pictures in these atmospher-
ic pieces." he said.
Three pieces by Chopin formed
the last part of the recital:
"Nocturnes. Op. 27. No. I & 2"
and "Fantasie. Op. 49." which
Coxe played in a very soft and
dreamy way. He named Chopin
the "lie of the apparently dis-
parate composers of the pro-
gram."
The audience was swept away
by Coxe's excellent performance
and thanked him with a standing
ovation. Coxe returned the praise
with an encore.
He ended his concert with a
short, but tricky piece by Debussy.
The performance was
well-explained and performed. It
was certainly a treat for all those
who attended

ing a man in his late 30s shake his
leather-ctad booty. In fact, those who
can were probably all in the same
place — West Springfield at the Big E
on Sunday night — where the booty
shaker in question was the Prince of
Wales himself. Tom lones.
lones is currently enjoying a
mini-revival. He released a highly
credible (and sometimes damn
groovy) pop album. The Lead. And
How To Swing ll, late last year. He
has also been seen on popular TV
shows like. "The Fresh Prince of
Bel-Air" and "The Simpsons." usual-
ly poking fun at his aging >ex-god
image.
In concert. lones stage presence is
the first thing that strikes his fans. It
is really just like they say — women
were screaming, swooning and
whooping with delight every time he
thrusted his crotch or caressed the
size 12 tube sock he had crammed
into his ultra-tight leather pants.
The second thing you notice is that
the famous voice, richer and more
soulful than any of his contempo
raries. is still entirely intact. Be they
old torch songs like "I Know I'll
Never Fall In Love Again" or
brand-new tunes like the Teddy Riley
penned. "Fly Away." Jones pours
every ounce of passion and longing in
him into his act.
lones is a consummate showman,
knowing how to effortlessly work a
crowd, and he didn't leave out any of
the expected fan favorites. "It's Not
Unusual." "What's New Pussycat'.',"
"Delilah" and "Kiss" were all duly
delivered.
The evening's high point had to be
the first song of the encore, in which
a blistering guitar solo led into Lenny
Kravitz's "Are You Gonna Go My
Way?" The song which (ones origi-
nally recorded for the lerky Boys
Soundtrack, rocked as hard as
Kravitz ever did. perhaps a tad hard-
er.
Tom lones will probably always
elicit giggles from the younger gener-
ation, and will never be a critically
acclaimed, socially conscious brood-
ing artist. Instead he'll continue to do
what he's done for the past thirty
years — take popular songs, and belt
them out in his own inimitable style.
What more could his fans ask for'.'

Queer love focus of play
Homosexuality, confusion discussed in plot
By Jennifer Willord

STKAWBEKKIES AND CHOCOUTE
Rowker Auditorium
Sepf 30
"There's no cure for me," was
probably one of the strongest mes-
sages sent out by main character.
Diego, in the Cuban drama.
"Strawberries and Chocolate.' f)cr-
formed on Saturday. September 30.
at Bowker Auditorium
The auditorium was packed
with an audience who laughed at
all the right lines and fell silent
when the actors lugged at their
hearts with deep-felt political
passions.
The Stonewall Center and New
World Theater chose an impressive
play to focus on and explain the
clear and present struggle of the
Gay. Lesbian and Bisexual commu-
nities need for sexual equality.
losean Ortiz played Diego, and
also adapted, produced and directed
the play. From his first strut across
the stage. Ortiz was certainly the star
of the drama.
From what stx-med a personal con-
viction. Ortiz portrayed Diego's feel-
ings of injustice with such a fire that
during some scenes he seemed to leave
the stage uf acting and become Diego,
making the pl.iy conceivably his life.
Supporting characters Miguel and
David were played by. respectively.
Abdiel Gonzalez and lorgc Castillo.
The emotional depth, coupled with
the extraordinary acting abilities,
demonstrated by the actors made it
clear that this play was more than just
simply another way to pay the bills.
The set was simple and effective.
Two metal chairs and a small metal
table were sufficient to depict the
ice cream parlor. The bedroom
consisted of a platform raised of
the ground about three inches,
with a mattress and a wooden chair
on top. The living room, slightly
more elaborate, had two chairs,
three or four hanging ferns, a
bookcase and a railing for a
make-shift balcony/window.
In the opening scene, David and
Diego coincidentally end up sitting
next to each other in the ice cream
parlor. After lengthy coercion and
flamboyant acting on Diego's part.
David is persuaded to go back to his
apartment. He leaves Diego in a
haste, only to return a short while
after.
The two men become friends,
much to the disapproval of David's
best friend, Miguel. Miguel hopes to
have Diego exported, due to his own
homophobia.
David and fJiejiO continue to grow
closer and their friendship blossoms.
However, the play takes a critical
turn when Diego gets exported and
then has a violent confrontation with
Miguel.
Diego and David share a heart-felt
gcxxl-bye and Diego leaves. But not
before he has touched the life of David
and changed his attitude on people
and what is and isn't important.
"Strawberries and Cht)colate" was
a play filled with thick
Spanish-accents, good music, adven-
turous humor and touching lessons
in love and respect for others.
Life of Agony headline weak

Pearl Street
Sept. 28
NORTHAMPTON - It was
not a night to remember at Peari
Street on Thurstiay. The tnosh pit
may have been steaming but the
band's performances were as cold
as ice.
Uranium 235 opened the show
with their nauseating combina-
tion of mixing heavy metal with
bad techno. Easily one of the
worst bands that has graced this
stage in some time. Pushbutton
Warfare then took the stage with
their brutal niosh-core sound.
They were being passed off as a
hardcore band but sounded too
much like Slayer. The next band
Pist On left most of the audience
pissed off. They were a horrible
heavy metal band who tried to
impress the crowd by telling
everyone they were from Queens.
NY
Lcrdz of Brooklyn ihcn stormed
the stage to the theme song from
The CJoclfalher. Their brand of
hardcore rap was perfect after
three lackluster opening bands.
Imagine House Of Pain dressed as
gangsters from the ■30s rapping
about drinking. American pride
and barnxmi brawls. They had the
crowd going crazy to their hits
'Saturday Night* and 'Bad
Racket."
Finally after half an hour the
headliner. Life Of Agony, took the
stage. First off. Life Of Agony are
no longer the hardcore band they
once were. Now they are just a
bunch of heavy metal sellouts —
they even acted like total rock
stars in their Kiss look alike
t-shirts.
Life of Agony concentrated on
tunes off of their new album Ugly.
The songs "I Regret" and "Last at
22" were two heavier numbers
that showed Life Of Agony's abili-
ty to write good hardcore songs.
They did save a little bit of face by
playing some songs off their
impressive debut album Kiver
Runs Red.
All in all. save the Lordz of
Brooklyn, this may easily be the
worst show that has passed
through this area in a long time.
Hof)efully we won't have to suffer
again.

Opera looks at lesbian life
By Rebecca Atoloney
Collegian Correspondent
DfWVAnVE DUO
UnitQriar\ Society, Nonhamplory
Sept 29
NORTHAMITON - The Derivative Duo. Barb Glenn
and Susan Nivert, performed in front of a primarily les-
bian audience this past Friday night ai the Unitarian
Society in Northampton
The Duo sang opera parodies that illuminated both the
comic and bittersweet sides of lesbian/gay life while their
tacky, thrift-shop costumes seemed to be a reaction to the
stuffy formality and often blatant helcrosexuality of tradi-
tional opera.
The music is real opera, but the words were all
their own. These self-proclaimed "demented divas"
and "lesbians in drag" rewrote the lyrics to operas for.
as Nivert puts it. "discriminating audiences." Often
feminist and lesbian in theme, some of their topics
included PMS. gays in the military. Fabio and person-
al ads.
The audience roared with laughter when Nivert intro-
duced "Ein Kline Visit from Mama" sung to "Ein Kline
Nachtmusik" by Mozart by saying, "Gays and lesbians
have developed a language all of their own — 'de-dike,'
for example. My mother's coming to visit so I have to
"de-dike" the house."
While the Duo"s repertoire is almost exclusivcK i.|jssi
cal, they occasionally come across a pop tune that is just
too good to resist. For example, iht^ changed Billy loers
"She's Always a Woman" to "She"s More Than A Woman"
with lyrics like "She's not just any )oe Schmoe/ She's got
money to blow/ She's more than a woman to me."
The Sapphonics. an appro.ximately 25 member a capella
group from Amherst joined the Derivative Duo for "Party
Panic," sung to the tune of "Merci. leunes Amies" from
Verdi's opera "Les Vepres Sieiliennes." The song is about
'lesbian spaghetti.' "To get 'lesbian sfwghelti'." explained
Nivert. " you take ail the lesbians in a community ^nd
draw lines connecting everyone who has had a relation-
ship with someone else .."
The Duo received a standing ovation when they ended
the show with "Ode to Greta Cammermeyer" sung to the
"Torvador Song" from Bizet's opera, "Carmen." The song
is a tribute to Col. Margarethe Cammenneyer, the highest
ranking woman in the armed services until she was
drummed out of the military for admitting her sexual ori-
entation. The Derivative Duo put on a fantastic show that
combined classical opera, comedy, cabaret and polities
that could pierce even the thickets homophobic armor.
Maceo Parker blows funk into Noho
Parker proves once again why he has become legendary fiinkateer

MACEO PAHKEK

October I
NORTHAMPTON - This is no lie. This is truth. The
heat from our sweat saturated, the etmdensation reached
the ceiling and drops of water sporadically dripped on
me as 1 grooved to the sounds! Management ordered
Maceo Parker to take a break ... they were afraid people
might dehydrate! I apologize, but there will be nc>ne ol
this "crilici.sm" stuff in this article. I truly believe that on
Sunday night Mace».> Parker gave me. as well as the rest
of the Northampton crowd, a perftxi show.
Maceo Parker and his entourage totally have their
ifiang l*.igether. A hand of true professionals. Wfiat else
could we expect'.' Macixi is an original funk master, who
has been in the business for over 50 years. His partner is
no sk>uch either. Fred Wesley has been breathing beauty
into his trombone right beside Macet.) and his sax. since
the early days, when they were playing in lame's Brown's

can feel it. you can leel the awe, you immediately realize
that these guys on stage are* the originals, tfur legeruls.
The concert starts, and after a few minutes of Maeeo's
back up band playing jazz rhythms, the theatrics stan.
"The Man" appears, the Noho crowd responds, a chaos
ol fun busts kiose, then the funk starts. Maceo blows a
little of that quality, we all know we'll be hearing for the
rest of the evening. Between his jazzy sounds he greets
the crowd with handshakes, smiles as big as the sun.
and familiar "how do you do' glances that only Maeeo's

Years and years of IcHiring only kad to one conclusion,

lunk and more- funk. This ens<.-mble has orehestratcd the
best lunk you will ever hear, and these 20 minute mekjdies
are so perfectly btviken up by jazz, blues or soul tunes.
Hours of everlasting funk, and nnally. this out of this
planet concert performance was coming to a close.
Maceo gave us two classic funk tunes, each in marathon
prviportions. lames Brown's "Make it Funky," folkiwed
by Parliament's "Make My Funk a P-Funk." After those
came 1 5 of the most intense minutes filled with wild
music and cries of "We love you!" from Maceo and
then the dre-am ended. Maceo himself toW the story, say-
ing, "this is one of the top ten crowds I've ever played.
Since the music revolution in the I950's. genius' of our

Mariners capture West in playoff
By Jim Cour
Associoted Press
Mariners
SEATTLE — Wiih a crowd of 52.55b wildly
cheering for Randy lohnson as if il were the sev-
enth game of the World Series, the Seattle
Mariners finally got the opp<.)riuniiy to get there
Monday. The
Mariners reached
the postseason for
the first time in
their 11-year histo-
ry, winning the AL
West title by ticaling the
California Angels 9-1 in baseball's first one-game
playoff since 1 980.
lohnson (18-2), maintaining his menacing stare
on every pitch, was perfect for 5 2-i innings and
finished with a three hitter and 12 strikeouts.
Leading 1-0. the Mariners broke open the game in
ihe seventh when Luis Sojo's bases-loaded double
- aided pitcher Mark Langston's throwing error
turned into a four-run play.
"I felt a little bit of weight on my shoulders,"
lohnscm said. "But I thrive on that and it was prob-
ably my biggest game ever. I had a lot ol emotion
built up."
lohnson beat the Angels for the third time in
our decisions, having lost to them the last time he
faced them in Anaheim Aug. I . In that game, the b-
fcK>t-10 left hander went 7 1-5 innings, giving up
^e\en runs on 10 hits and two walks.
"The last lime I pitched against the Angels, they
roughed me up pretty good," he said. "And they've
been extremely hot. Bui you have to rise to the
occasion and I think I did."
The victory finished off a roller-coaster season
for Seattle, which trailed California by 1 5 games on
Aug. 2. The Mariners mis.sed a chance to wrap up
the division by losing Saturday and Sunday while
California won twice for a tie.
"We were never a team that had a I 3 game lead
like the Angels." he said. "We were a team that was
striving to be the wildcard team."
The Mariners will play wild-card winner New
York in the bestof-5 first round. The series begins
Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium with Chris Hosio
likely to start for Seattle againsi David Cone.
Seattle was 9-4 against the Yankees, including a
5-5 mark in New York.
"When he stepped on the field today ... there was
something about him." Mariners star Ken Grilfey
Ir. said of lohnson. "It was like. 'Give me one run
and I'll lake care of the rest." lohnson. who won on
three days' rest, will not be ready to pitch until at
least Game 5 Friday night at the Kingdome. The
Mariners hoped to save their ace for Game 1 , but
needed him to win the most important game in
franchise history.
lohnson, the leading candidate for the AL Cy
■^'oung Award, led the majors with 294 strikeouts.
He walked just one, and lost his shutout when
Tony Phillips homered to open the ninth.
The Kingdome fans were on their feel screaming
and shouting encouragement from the first inning
on, chanting "Randy, Randy, Randy," when he
struck out the side in the third and fifih. lohnson
struck out Tim Salmon for the fourth lime to end
the game, and then the celebration started, lohnson
shot his arms in the air and hugged catcher Dan
Wilson. Fireworks exploded overhead as he ran off
the field with his arms still raised, and fans ran
onto the field and tried to dig up home plate.
For the Angels and Langston (15-7), who was
traded by Seattle to Montreal for lohnson May 25.
1989, the loss marked their final disappointment.
The Angels, who led the AL West by 1 1 games
on Aug. 9 before one of baseball's biggest collaps-
es, won their last five games to force the playoff.
The last time baseball needed a one-game playoff
was in 1980. when Houston defeated Los Angeles
for the NL West tille. The last one-game playoff in
the AL was 1978, when Bucky Dent's home run
iificd the Yankees over Boston at Fenway Park for
the AL Fast title. Lou Piniella, now the Mariners
manager, made a key play in the outfield late in
that playoff for the Yankees.
The key play in this, only the eighth one-game play-
off in major league history, came with two outs in the
seventh, the bases loaded and Seattle ahead I -0.
Sojo hit a broken-bat grounder down the line
that barely made it past fine-fielding first baseman
IT. Snow. Tlie ball rolled into the bullpen as Mike
Blowers and Tino Martinez scored, and Langston
got the relay as |oey Cora approached the plate,
[.angston seemed to double-clutch and threw the
ball past catcher .Andy Allanson. The ball went to
the backstop and Sojo never stopped running, beat-
ing .Allanson's return throw to Langston at the
plate. While Sojo and the Mariners celebrated,
Langston lay on his back in the dirt with a pained
look on his face.
Langston. who has played 12 years in the majors
and never made it to the postseason, was pulled
afier the play. In the dugout, he sat with his head
down as teammates tried to console him. The
Angels have not been to the playoffs since 198b,
and have never been to the World Series.
Colorado is ready to face
tough Atlanta Braves
By John Mossman
Associated Press
DENVER — Now comes the
hard part for the Colorado
Rockies, a club that did not even
exist three years ago: how to cope
with playoff pressure and prepare
for the Atlanta Braves, the team
with the best record in the
National League.
Besides having no playoff
history, the Rockies have a
dreadful record against the
Braves, going b-50 since the
Rockies' inaugural season of
1995.
The best-of-5 series begins
Tuesday night at Coors Field,
where the Rockies compiled a
44-28 record this season - tying
Atlanta and Cincinnati for the
best home marks in the NL.
That record wasn't built, howev-
er, on home wins against
Atlanta.
The Rockies were only 2-4
against the Braves in Denver this
year and are only 5- lb in three
years.
If there is some comfort in
those cold statistics, it is that
Colorado won two of three games
in the Braves' most recent visit,
delaving the Biaves' celebration ol
their eventual NL East title. 'We
gained some confidence playing
them Ihe last scries here," Rockies
left fielder Dante Bichette said
Monday.
Added catcher |oe Girardi,
"Now we know we can beat
them more than once a
year."
Right hander Kevin Ritz (II-
1 1 ) will get the start for the
Rockies against Greg Maddux
(19 2).
In his only appearance
against Colorado this year,
Maddux lost b-5 on May 17 in
Atlanta.
"We roughed him up a lit-
tle bit the last time we faced
him," Ritz said, "and that
gives us some conlidence lac-
ing him again."
Maddux has won a major-
league record 18 road deci-
sions in a row, but Rockies
reliever Bruce Ruffin noted,
"He hasn't pitched here yet.
This place is different from
anvwhere else."
Rodman traded to
Chicago Bulls
By Rick Gano
Associated Press
DFERFIEI D. Ill (AP) — Dennis
Rodman, the llamboyant forward
who led the NBA in rebounding the
last four seascins but repeatedly exas-
perated San Antonio management,
was traded Monday to the Chicago
Bulls for center Will Perdue.
"I think it's great. I think he's
excited. I think it's a perfect fit." Neil
Draddy. Rodman's agent, said "They
need some work off the boards and
the extra defense he will give them."
Draddy said he did not anticipate
Rodman having any olfcourt prob-
lems like the ones that have followed
him during his nine-year career in
Detroit and San Antonio.
"I know he's spoken to Phil
(lack.son. the coach) and Phil is com-
fortable with what Dennis is going to
do. I ihink they will work out an
arrangement between the two of
them and the team, and everything
will work out just fine."
Rodman, who's in the final year of
his contract, will make $2.5 million
this season.
Rodman, as usual, was the premier
force under the boards this season
But the 54-year-old forward, who is
partial to multicolored hairdos,
assorted body piercings and late-
night soirees with Madonna, provc-d a
constant irritant to the Spurs' front
office. He was suspended during the
season for insubordination and
would often miss practice, his where-
abouts unknown, and remove his
basketball shoes while on the bench
during games.
"We are happy to acquire Dennis
Rodman." Bulls general manger
lerry Krause. "We think he is the
best rebounder in the game and the
best defender at his position. He
gives us a dimension we have
lacked and enables us to take more
advantage of the skills of Toni
Kukoc."
The Bulls, who in all certainty
made the move with the approval of
Michael lordan. also renounced
rights to Pete Myers and Larry
Krystkowiak.
in acquiring Perdue, a 50-ycar-old
part-time center and marginal player.
San Antonio made it all too clear it
was simply intent on ridding itself of
Rodman.

also doubles winner^.
Dixon once again spoke positive-
ly about her team, talking about
their ability and potential.
"The UNH coach told me that
we were the finest team he's played
against, and that included some
California teams." Dixon said. "I've
been waiting for this team to play
up to its potential and they certain-
ly have." The Minutewomen will be
facing Army this afternoon at 3
p.m., a team that Dixon has yet to
defeat in her time at UMass.
NFL
continued from page i^
Fans in the stands were appalled
and befuddled. Review has not been
in place since the end of ihe season.
"The use of instant replay was
removed from the league in 1992
because of the time added to games
by the review process ind the imper-
fections of the communications from
the press box to the field, and since
then, the outcry for its return has
grown larger withJhe passing of time.
Il reached a fever pitch in the 1995
playoffs when three questionable
calls were made in the San
Diego/Miami Divisional playoff
game. With the use of instant replay,
two of them would clearly have lx"cn
overturned. When a Charger running
back scored from eight yards out. it
gave the Chargers a lead ihey would
not surrender. What went undetcxted
by the line judge was the back step-
ping out at the three-yard line. The
replay showed him out of bounds
clearly, but the touchdown stood.
Miami lost by less than a touch-
down and San Diego went on to the
Super Bowl.
This 1995 regular season already
has had its share of instances that
would have been well-served to have
instant replays. Pittsburgh coach Bill
Cowher stormed onto the field and
put a photograph in the referees
pocket to show the fact that the offi-
cials made an incorrect call.
Most recently and importantly to
local fans, Scott Zolak was pressured
by the Atlanta's pass rush and attempt -
I'd a pass with Darryl Tallc-y hanging
on his throwing arm. As Zolak's arm
moved forward, the ball travelled
about two feet in front of him.
The play was rultxl a fumble.
Atlanta's defense pounced on the
ball and the Falcons had the ball al
the Patriot 45. "Upon further review',
the replay showed Zolak's ami was
moving forward and the play should
have been ruled incomplete.
This is not a knock on today's offi-
cials. The spec-d that today's game is
played at makes it difficult to tell the
correct call at limes. Give them a lit-
tle help, and the games will be called
correctly. Here is my plan:
1. If the referees want to make
sure of a call, they can ask for the
replay official to review the play. A
time limit of 40 seconds would be
allowed for the review. If the over-
rule is not clear right away, then the
call should stand.
2. Each team would receive one
"instant replay" timeout per game. It
could not be used like the team's
three timeouts they get each half. It
would be specifically to review a play
in question the coach feels warrants a
second look.
3. The replay official should not be
in the press box. rather in his own lit-
tle booth on the sidelines as so the
field referee can speak to him directly.
This may not be the way it is
worked in the future, but come the
start of 1996, there is a strung posib-
lity replay will be in effect in some
form.
• How about those Jacksonville
jaguars'.' They were trailing 16-10
with three minutes to play and it
looked like there would be another
loss for the expansion team. Then
Darren Carrington recovered a
Houston fumble, and rookie QB
Mark Brunell hit Washington
Redskin castoff Desmond Howard
for Ihe tying score. The extra point
went through for a 17-16 lead, and
the defense was able to hold the
Oilers to a 52-yard field goal attempt
which Al Del Greco missed wide left.
• Speaking of the Redskins, how
about the gutty Gus Frerotte leading
his troops over their arch rivals, the
Dallas Cowboys. The seventh round
draft pick has stepped in with the
injury to Heath Shuler. and has kept
them in every game. The question
now is should coach Norv Turner
give Shuler his job back when he is a
100 percent, or slay with Frerotte
and have a $1 .5 million backup QB.
• Can anyone explain lo me the
hype of 'The Shula Bowl?' Yes, il is
terrific that father plays son. mortal
plays mentor, but it was actually a
high-powered Miami team with actual
Super Bowl aspirations against a team
of ovcrachievers. Luckily for the adver-
tisers, il turned out to be a better game
than the teams matched up on paper.

8-1 to improve their record to 6-1.
at No. 5 doubles.
The doubles teams have lead
UMass all year. In their only loss
of the year, they lost the doubles
point and in every win they have
won the doubles point. Coach
Judy Dixon likes to place the
weight of the match on the dou-
bles and the lower numbers
because she feels her team's
strength is in its depth. The dou-
bles team has lost only five match-
es the entire year while carrying
the Minutemen to one of their best
seasons in recent years.
After losing to Fairfield on Sept.
23, Lynn has been outstanding at
No. 1 singles by only dropping
seven games in his last three
matches, fie defeated Luongo b-2.
b-0 to leave his record at 5-2. At
No. 2 singles, Rummel also
remained unchallenged as he
defeated jason White b-1, 6-1 for
his sixth straight-set victory of the
year.
junior Ankur Baishya returned
from his lose versus UConn to
defeat Poisson 6-2. 6-0. With the
victory Baishya improved his
record al No. 3 singles to 5-2. Al
No. 4 singles Aller continued his
sensational year where only one
match has extended beyond two
sets. His 6-1. 6- J victory over
Olszewski left his record at a team
best 7-0.
Two freshman manned the bot-
tom part of the order for UMass in
their second straight match At No.
5 singles. Cheney defeated Gibson
6-0. 6-2, and at No. 6 singles
jason Blind left Keith U-vitsky baf
fied with his 6-1, 6-1 win At the
beginning of the season Dixon was
reluctant to place freshmen into the
starting rotation, but her philoso
phy has changed as Skeels. Cheney
and Blind have played exceptional
tennis to warrant action al the var-
sity level.
Cheney's 6-1 record at singles
and doubles, along with Skeels 5-0
mark in doubles arc tell tale signs
that her decisions have been right
on.
'I think that the team in general
is being pushed by the freshman.'
Dixon said. "The exuberance of the
freshman has really given the upper
classmen a lot of intensity and it
has been wonderful for our team.
They have proven they can perform
and their play has really lifted us
past lour opponents]. They are the
team of the future and I expect
them to carry UMass tennis to
another level."
In looking forward to Saturday's
match versus Vermont. Dixon con-
tinued. "We h,4ve never beaten
Vermont before and I hope our
recent play can help us past them.
They are very strong at doubles and
their type of play is similar to
I UMass' I. where they k)ok to their
depth for victory. They arc weak at
the top so il will come down lo
how our lower players match up
with theirs."
The Minutemen wrap up their
fall season on Saturday versus
regional rival Vermont on the
Upper Boyden Courts at I p.m.

Massachusetts will play three games next weekend
againsi Navy. Richmond and Queens.
From pooltldc... l.imardo and Stahl are still No. 1-2
on the team in scoring with 58 and 56 points respective
ly... As hot as l.imardo is. he needs 61 more goals this
season lo break the UMass career goals record held by
current assistant coach Javier Gonzalez..
Fourteen games in, senior goalie Alex Mujica has a
goals-againsl-average of 5.12, .02 belter than Pete
Koback's UMass single season record set in 1989. Me
continues to extend his school career saves record, it Is
now up to 578.
Mujica is also closing in on the mark for quarters
played in goal. Me has now played 247 quarters, 16
behind Todd Larson's record, set between
1988-91. .
junior driver Ron Gonen has boosted himself into sec
ond place on the all-time UMass assist list with 96 (20
this season), behind Gonzalez's 106...
The flu may be going around the club as both Mujica
and senior co-captain John Luviano have come down
with mild cases.

Roger Clemens will start tonight as Sox face Indians
By Jimmy Golen
Associated Press
CLEVELAND — Aaron Sele. Vaughn Eshe
Hanson and Tim Wakefield have all taken
turns as the Red Sox ace this season. But
when the time came to pick the starter for
the first game of the playoffs, the job was
Roger Clemens" once again.
"In my heart, as long as I saw good things
out of Roger. I was going to start (him)."
Boston manager Kevin Kennedy said Monday
before Boston worked out at Jacobs Field.
"He's proven to us that he's completely
healthy. And he's been through it before."
Kennedy said. "And I think he's the right
guy because of that."
Clemens has been to the playoffs three
times before, first in 1986 when he led the Red
World Series and won the AL Cy "Voung
Erik
Roger Clemens
Sox to the
and MVP
awards. Boston won the division again in '88 and "90, but
got swept both times by Oakland. So at 5'5. Clemens still
wants that World Series ring. And he wants it now.
In spring training, he vowed to retire if Boston won it all.
(He has since retracted that.) When the Red
Sox started splitting up the playvff money, he
said he would put his hack in the pot so every-
one could get belter rings.
When Boston won the division. Clemens
celebrated with everyone else. But moments
later, in a champagne-soaked clubhouse, he
was reminding everyone that nothing less
than a World Series title will do. "I've been
able to enjoy every postseason since '8b even
more." Clemens said Monday. "I think being
so young and green in the first one. it went by
so fast."
Clemmi wuikl Idve to maix- thse playufis tast a lul
kiigo-. Bui the ivgular seoui ULukJn't gj tiist enuu^
He reported to spring training nursing problems in his
shoulder and calf and stayed in rehab until |une. When he
came back, he wasn't the overpowering pitcher that had
carried the Red Sox in the past.
Sele made the Opening Day start — the first one
Clemens missed in eight years - but soon came down with
tendinitis that ended his season in May. Eshelman, who
had won his first three starts, went down the day afier
Sele.
The Red Sox called up Wakefield, the star of the 1992
playoffs who had revived his knuckleball under the tute-
lage of the Nickro brothers. He won three games in eight
days and started off 14-1. The Cy Young award and the
first start in the playoffs were all but his; theh he lost
seven of his last nine decisions.
Hanson won his first six and led the league in ERA.
He finished 15-3 (4.24 ERA) and was Boston's most
consistent pitcher throughout the vear. But with
Clemens finishing strong, that's only good enough to
start Came 2.
After starting 3-3 with a very un-Clemens-likc 5.81
ERA, Clemens went 7 2 with a 2.88 ERA in August and
September. So much for the talk about converting him into
a finesse pitcher, or a reliever. "It look some time for
Roger to catch up," Kennedy said. "He wasn't in pitching
shape when he came back. He was going through spring
training against major-league hitters during the competi-
tion of the season." "But if you've seen him his last three or
four starts. I think you've seen a pretty good fastball.
Perhaps he doesn't throw as hard consistently as he did a
few years ago. But he's still a very effective pitcher and a
true competitor."

Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Indians:

Volleyball hosts first place URI tonight
By Chris Stamm
CoJIegion SloH
They're on fire! The Massachusetts women's
volleyball team's four game home win streak is
nothing short of impressive.
However, a decisive win over first place
University of Rhode Island would be a huge step
toward an Atlantic 10 Conference Championship
for UMass.
Tonight at 7 p.m.. the Minutewomen get that
chance as they play their last match of a five game
homesiand againsi URI in the Curry Hicks Cage.
Last weekend. UMass coach Bonnie Kenny's
squad routed Temple. Fordham and LaSalle bring-
ing its record to 1 1 -6 overall, 4-1 in the A- 10.
However, with the exception of a five game
heart -pounding victory over Temple, the competi-
tion of Fordham and LaSalle was far from chal-
lenging.
lust look at the stats. UMass crushed Fordham
in three games. 15-3. 1 5-9 and 15-13. The match
against LaSalle was only slightly more challenging
than the summer's end Tyson-McNeely fiasco. The
Minutewomen only allowed seven points scored
against them in their three game sweep.
Rhode Island is not Fordham or LaSalle. The
Rams, 12-3 overall. 5-0 in the A-IO, are in front
of a close field. Trailing behind URI is both
George Washington and Virginia Tech. both 5-1
in A- 10 play.
Those of you who have escaped either of the two
gen-cd math requirements, pay attention. If the
Minutewomen beat URI the playing field is lev-
eled, as the top four teams in the conference would
all stand at 5-1.
To do this. UMass has to play tough volleyball from
the start of the match. The Minutewomen cannot do
what they did against Temple, where they dropped the
first two games of the match 8- 1 5 and 13-15, only to
regain momentum and win the next three.
Momentum has been a key factor in UMass' play
lately with junior outside hitter Ciza Rivera out with
an ankle injury. With this key link out of the lineup,
Kenny has been forced to rearrange her game plan.
As of late, the Minutewomen have gotten used
to playing without Rivera, and in fact, some of the
younger players have been forced to step up.
Sophomore middle blocker Michelle Paciorek and
classmate outside hitter Lesley Nolan have provid-
ed the offensive pizazz on the court. Nolan sat out
Saturday but is expected to play tonight.
In addition, freshman Katie Pearcc has gotten
considerable time on the floor as setter recently and
earned the distinction of A- 10 rookie of the week.
Co-captain Fennell
to miss rest of season
By Andrew Bryce
Collegian StoH
Vernard Fennell, senior defensive
end for the Massachusetts football
team, will miss the rest of the season
because of a knee injury he sustained
in last Saturday's game at
Rhode Island.
A co-captain along
with Rene Ingoglia.
Fennell injured his right
knee in the fourth quarter
of a 54^ loss to URI. Ik-
was the Minuieincn leader
in quarterback sacks with
five, and had 20 tackles alter the first
four game's (sixth on the team).
The 6-foot. 5 -inch, 247-pounder
was reportedly sparking up interest
from NFL scouts. The injury in his
senior year puts a damper in those
plans, but there's still the four game
tapes to show from this season,
Fennell was injured in last year's
URI game as well, fracturing his left
fibula. He returned to action for the
final ganK- of the 1994 season against
Connecticut.
That hamstring again — Ingoglia
aggravated his hamstring, the sanic
one that has been bothering him all
season. He went out after just three
series' and 13 yards. Ingoglia's still
needs I I yards to break Carry
Pearson's school record for rushing
yardage. The other co-captain with
Fennell, Ingoglia is questionable for
this weekend's home game against
New Hampshire (1-3 overall, 0-3 in
Yankee Conference).
Minuteman
Notes
In other injury news, sophomore
defensive tackle Shaun Williams suf-
fered a concussion in the URI game,
and is doubtful for the UNH tilt ...
Middle linebacker Mike Valentino
may play for the first time this season
on Saturday An off-season knee
injury has forced Valentino
to miss the first four games
this season ... junior tight
end Erik Henry should hit
the practice field this week.
He is nxovering from knee
surgery, which repaired
curtilage.
Keeping the punier busy
— If there's one player coach Mike
Hodges and staff did not want to keep
busy, it was freshman punter Andy
Maclay. He ended up punting 11
times and amassing 387 yards on the
day againsi the Rums, with both being
close to school records. The number
of punts was one behind the record
set by William Wamock against
Buffalo in 1968. The yardage was just
30 behind the 417-yard school record
effort of John O'Neil in 1971 against
UConn.
Defense still lops in YanCon —
Despite allowing URI OB Chris
Hixson to air it out for 299 yards last
Saturday, the Minulemen defense still
ranks first in the conference in total
defense. Opponents have been able to
chalk up just 287.5 total yards per
game so far this season.
In fact, in the last three games, the
defensive corps has not let an oppos-
ing backfield over the 100-yard rush-
ing mark.

Men's soccer ties with Koch's old team
By Mike Corey
Collegian Correspondent
On Sunday night, darkness put
a end to a chance for the
Massachusetts men's soccer
team to run away with two wins
on a west coast trip to
California.
UMass and Stanford were forced
to end their match in a 2-2 tie after
regulation when the night rolled in,
preventing overtime.
The Minulemen took care of No.
20 San Francisco on Friday after-
noon by the score of 4-1 in the first
game of the Reebok/Cardinal
Classic.
UMass coach Sam Koch earned his
50th victory as coach of the
Minulemen.
On Sunday night, UMass was hop-
ing to make it two in a row, and they
got off to a great start in their
attempt.
At the I :38 mark
of the game, Mike
Butler picked up a
feed from Brad Miller
for his fifth goal of
the season and second
of the tournament.
Early in the second
half, Dave Siljanovski
increased the UMass
advantage with his
team-leading seventh
goal of the year, as he
dribbled by a Cardinal defender
and beat, goalie jon Bruck for a
2-0 Minulemen lead.
However, the lead would be
cut in half as Stanford finally got
on the scoreboard at the 69:11
mark with a score
off a penally kick
by Eric
Vandeveldc.
Then wit h less
I han one minute
left in the match.
UMass was unable
to hold on as Ryan
Estevez lied it up
with a header off
a cross pass from
Aaron Jones. With
the tie the
record goes to
the vear while
Dave Siljanovski
Minulemen
r-3-2 on
Stanford posts a record of
3-5-1.
UMass was oulshot by the count of
12-11, with goalie Eric Gr\iber mak-
ing one save and Bruck recording two.
Cruber was one of them, playing
hurt nonetheless from a leg injury
last Tuesday, and he was also named
the Tournament MVP.
Cruber made six saves between
the two games and only gave up
three goals. Butler was also named to
the team, as was Siljanovski. who
leads the Minulemen in goals and
assists.
On Friday. Oct. 6. the
Minulemen return home at Richard
F. Carber Field as they will host
Atlantic 10 foe Duquesne at 3:30
p.m.
Water polo mania is hitting the
Massachusetts campus!
Well, not really, but it should be
since the Minulemen are off to a
15-1 start and had another perfect
weekend, including a 24-9 victory
over St. Francis, the No. 19 national-
ly ranked team in the country.
"I had the kids jacked up and
ready to play." said UMass coach
Russ Yarworth. "St. Francis has
some experienced players. We just
came out and took them out of the
game early."
The Minulemen scored early and
often all wc-ekend. They jumped out
to a 7-2 first quarter lead against St.
Francis and in the first half,
outscored their three opponents,
37-7.
Playing hurt, freshman Brian Slahl
led the scoring for the No. 13
Minulemen with lour goals and two
assists in the first match.
As always, senior co-captain Luis
Limardo was on the top of the score
sheet, tallying three goals and three
assists while 10 Minulemen lit the
proverbial lamp.
UMass scored 18 points in each of
its other two matches easily handling
Harvard and Fordham.
The Minulemen started off rela-
tively slow againsi a lough Crimson
squad, as Harvard scored first and
was able to convert four of six
man-up situations.
Massachusetts pulled away late in
the first quarter and didn't look
back, as it went on to win with ease,
18-7.
"1 wasn't real pleased after the
Harvard game. We were a little flat
after (the St. Francis match),"
Yarworth said.
Solid defense and an impressive
offense prevailed once again in the
final match, as Yarworth's bench saw
a lot of action in UMass' easy victory
over host Fordham.
Massachusetts held the Rams
scoreless in the first half while it tal-
lied 12 scores.
Led by Limardo. sophomore
Marc Staudcnbauer and freshman
Gabriel Marrero. each scoring three
goals, the Minulemen cruised.
18-4.

to make sure that the calls officials made on the field
were accurate, and
if human error
occurred, (and yes.

takes) the wrong
would be righted.
Or so the league
thought.
If errors were made by the officials on the field, then
they will happen to the replay officials as well.
Different replay officials had different interpretations
of "the review was inconclusive" and let plays stand
that in other cases would have been overturned. Even
when the upstairs official changed the call on the field.
the referee on the field couldn't gel it right.

judge for the Raiders, though the receiver fails to get
both feet in bounds. The call goes upstairs, where the
replay official views the replay on his TV, while the
Chiefs fans watch on the big screen.
Everyone, including the replay man, saw the receiv-
er's second foot hit the sideline. The fans cheered
because they knew the call would be waived off. The
announcers proclaimed that type of play was the very
reason the NFL should have instant replay. The replay
official called the correction down lo the field, "No
touchdown."
But for some reason, the referee did not hear the
"No" in over the telephone, turned on his microphone
and said, "The play stands as called, touchdown."

O J» Simpson not guilty on all counts
Eight month trial concludes in acquittal of famous defendent
LOS ANGELES (AP) - They
came to take their place in history, to
experience the verdict of the century.
It came .Monday without warning.
As the judge brought in the jury, two-
thirds ot the hottest seats in town
were empty, two of the leading attor-
neys in the case weren't even present,
and most of the media - not expecting
such a >iwift serdict were upstairs in
the press room.
"I> that correct?" Ito asked the
forewoman, a black woman in her
early SO^ who was chosen by her col-
leagues last week after just three min-
utes.
"Yes." she said.
laws dropped. People gasped.
Simpson appeared stunned, as did his
attorney. Carl Douglas, a second-
stringer on the legal team assigned
the mundane la'-k of sitting next to
Simpson while testimony was reread.
lurors spent about an hour listen-
ing lo a court reporter read back les
timony from a limousine driver who
look Simpson to the airport on the
night of the slayings.
The jurors, who had been
sequestered for nine months, heard
only testimony that prosecutors sug-
gested they review: driver Allan
Park's descriptions of phone calls he
made to his boss and mother and his
efforts to summon a response from
Simpson by ringing a bell at the gale
lo his Rockingham Avenue estate.
The verdict capped a legal journey
as surreal and at times as slow - as
Simpson's bizarre Bronco flight from
justice.
As the case moved onto one side
street after another, it often seemed
irrelevant that two young people
were slashed to death one lune night
in Brentwood more than a year ago
The case wasn't just about murder.
It was about fame and wealth, love
and hate, fragile egos and misdirected
power. It was about the judicial sys-
tem, the media, domestic violence,
racism, sexism and crass oppor-
tunism.
America couldn't gel enough if it.
The star, of course, was Orenthal
lames Simpson, who made it from
the housing projects of San Francisco
lo the mansions of BrentwcH)d with
charm, good looks and a pair of feet
that could run like the wind
His public life was the object of
envy: glory on the football field at the
University of Southern California and
for the Buffalo BilK. fame as a com-
mercial pitchman for Hert/, pop cul-
ture status for hiv "Nuked Gun"
movie roles.
His private life was something else.
Prosecutors said Simpson was a man
whose outward strength of bods and
personality hid psychological weak-
ness. He was. they said, racked by
jealousy, plagued with anger, bent on
control in every situation. He was a
time bomb
The bomb exploded, according to
prosecutors, on lune 12, 1994 There
was neser any lestimony about where
Simpson was for 78 critical minutes
that night, from when his house guest
Brian "Kaio" Kaelin last saw him to
when he was next seen by the limou-
sine driver.
Simpson's defense rested on the
simple premise that ihe one place he
wasn't thai night was 875 S. Bundy

throats of Ms. Simpson and Goldman
were slashed. A neighbor was led to
the bodies by Ms. Simpson's dog.

that of gloves his ex-wife bought him
which he wore at televised football

At Simpson's house was the
glove's apparent mate, smeared with
incriminating evidence: blood with
the genetic markers of him and the
two victims. Also on it was a hair
similar lo Ms. Simpson's and fibers
almost identical to those in the car-
peting of Simpson's Bronco.
There was Simpson's blood on his
driveway. Simpson's blood in the
foyer, and a pair of bloody socks in
his bedroom. The sock blood con-
tained Ms. Simpson's genetic mark-

■ Nation pauses to watch suprising conclusion
By Tracy G««ki«

AsscKioted Press
It was as if an entire nation was
holding its breath and, in an instant,
let it go in a sigh, a gasp, a whoop
and a curse.
"Oh my Gtxir' shouted a factory
worker in Toledo. Ohio. "Yes!"
exclaimed an airport worker in
Chicago, "i just' can't believe this!"
said a YMCA staffer in Concord.
NH.
Fifteen months after the slow-
motion chisc of a while Ford Bronco
slopped Americans in their collective
tracks, a national obsession came full
circle Tuesday when a Los Angeles
jury pronounced 0.|. Simpson inno-
cent.
Once again, people stopped what
they were doing. Once again, they
turned lo television or radio. And
once again, what they saw and heard
seemed almost loo much lo believe.
"Wild, absolutely wild." declared
Mike Bailey, a clerk at the federal
courthouse in Oklahoma City, who
listened to the verdict read over the
radio. He had been left alone to
guard the courthouse counter after
other workers - from clerks lo
judges - streamed into a jury assem-
bly room to watch the verdict on
television.
Few events have so held the nation
in thrall as the Simpson trial, and few
events have brought the country to
such a standstill - if only for a few
minutes - as the reading of the ver-
dict. The normally tumultuous trad-
ing floors of Chicago's giant com-
modity exchanges grew still as
traders turned to TY and newswire
screens. At Hill & Barlow, a prcsti
gious law finn in Boston's financial
district, more than 120 people - near-
ly half the firm's employees ■ filled a

Offices in New York's Rockefeller
Center emptied as hundreds of peo-
ple gathered in the street outside
NBC's "Today" show studio to watch
the news on 10 large outdcnir moni-
tors.
At a pizza restaurant in
Springfield. Mo., a hospital in Grants
Pass, Ore., a state office building in
Albany, NY., a high school in
Albuquerque. N.M. - in short, almost
everywhere - ordinary business
slopped while people watched the
verdict.
The verdict is in — 0.|. Simpson is not guilty. Closure
to the "trial of Ihe century" followed fifteen months after
the slain bcxiies of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald
Goldman were discovered outside her upscale Los
Angeles home. __^^^_.^^
News of this long-awaited outcome
stirred mixed emotions in students
and faculty at the University of
Massachusetts.
At any of the television sets in the
Student Union, numerous on-lookers
watched the post-verdict analysis.
Brad Davidson, a junior
Afro-American Studies/Legal Studies said, despite the
jury's finding, he believes Simpson is guilty,
"My first reaction was surprise." he said. "1 didn't
expect every juror to find him not guilty."
Also watching the coverage was Sharon Murphy, a
senior lournalism major, who said she had predicted a
long trial but a quick jury deliberation.
"I was in the dining commons and one of Ihe workers
came out and said not guilty,'" she said. "A lot of the
African-Americans cheered I swore he was guilty based
on the DNA evidence."
"One can only con-
clude that there was
sufficient doubt on the
part of the jurors. "
verdict would end the coverage of the ordeal
"I don't think the Goldman family is going to let this
go," she said.
Alisim lones, a sophomore French major, brought up
the issue of 0.|.'s celebrity status. She said that even
though she is an avid football fan, she doesn't let his ath-
letic success sway her opinion of him.
^^^^^__^i_ "I'm sure that jhis fame) was a fac-
tor in the verdict," she said.
Arlene Avakian. an associate pro-
fessor in Women's Studies, raised
concern about the issue of domestic
violence.
Although she accepts that the jury
had enough "reasonable doubt" lo
reach a not guilty verdict, she person-
ally had a difficult time rationalizing the defense team's
portrayal of Simpson as an upstanding father
"A giK)d father does not beat his children's mother,"
she said. "O). Simpson is a batterer. But we also know
that all batterers don't kill."
loyce Berkman. a history profes.sor, echoed the same
sentiment.
"One can only conclude that there was sufficient doubt
nil the part of the jurors." she said. "He certainly deserves
to be punished for {domestic abuse]."
Murphy said she didn't think the announcement of the
President Sherry Penney makes case for UMass
By Tracy Geekie
Collegian Staff
Inlenm President Sherry H. Penney is on a mis-
sion lo "get the word out" about the value of high-
er education.
"What I want to do with the University is what I
call Making the Case for UMass.'" she said. "To go
talk to whomever I can talk to in the legislature,
business community, and in the broader communi-
ty about the community."
Penney makes a strong argument for the
University in her report also titled "Making Ihe
Case for UMass." She distributed the six-page
report at the Sept. 21 Faculty Senate meeting, at
which time she spoke in detail about its contents.
The report uses a series of charts and graphs to
illustrate trends in education. It also compares the
University of Massachusetts to other state and pri-
vate institutions in various categories.
By "gelling the word out." Penney said she aims
to make the state aware of the value of the
University and its impact on the economy of
Massachusetts. She defines this as "meeting state
needs."
"The major way in which we meet state needs is
serving the students." she said. "And we serve
about 60.000. The second thing that we do to serve
Ihe state is a great variety of outreach activities."
She cited several examples including UMass'
involvement in economic development and its col-
laboration with education, starting with
Kindergarten and continuing through high school,
"We will eventually have done a map." she said.
"It has the five campuses with big stars on them
and then it has little bullets all over the stale for
everything else the University is doing. It's very
impressive."
The report describes these outreach programs in
more detail. Under the heading "Resources to
Attract Major Investment," it lists several favorable
points.
One contribution it cites is the University's "cul-
tural and athletic jeventsl that attract hundreds of
thousands of visitors lo campuses and communities
each year. "
It also itemizes other benefits to the slate such as
the "10,000 citizens served through Continuing
Education and Worker Assistance Centers" and
"educating primary care physicians and nurses."
Penney said committees are currently working on
several projects concerning the University.
"I have a variety of task forces in place working
on everything from fundraising to enrollment man-
agement, to faculty rewards," she said. "They're
trying to work closely with our constituents, the
Board of Trustees, legislative leadership, and the
people in the Governor's office to again talk about
Ihe University and answer the questions that they
may have."
"A course for UMass"
Chancellor David K. Scott believes Penney's
experience as a chancellor gives her an edge in
understanding the situation of each campus.
"I think you will see that President Penney is
very sensitive to the needs of the individual cam-
puses," he said, "Her approach will be lo listen
very carefully."

Before she found out she landed

Maura O.Leary figured she would
continue to work at her office job.
She said she never thought ihe
technical writing classes she took

such lucrative opportunities.
"I went to the interviews think-

experience, and that would be the
end of it." O Leary said of the
eight job interviews she had at
three Digital Equipment

continued from page I
May 19. 1995, Penney discusses her appoininieiu.
"I want lo make one thing clear aboul thi' transi-
tion." she .said. "We have charted a course together for
UMass and we will stay thai course. At UMass. il is
full-steam ahead. During this period I am committed
to maintaining the progress and momentum we have
made lo date, and will do everything I can to insure
that this course is pursued."
Chancellor Scott said Penney 's appointment has not
created much disconiiiiuily in the overall direction pre-
viously established.
"She shares the general direction and goals that were
worked out with President Hooker and the Trustees."
he said. "She continues lo support these."
Illustrious career for Penney
Penney's pcisiiion as Chancellor of UMass-Boston is
only one highlight in her career which spans decades.
Prior to being Chancellor, she had already accumulated
1 5 years in educational administration.
As the first woman appointed to president of the
five- campus system. Penney said she fell no pressure.
"Tve been the first woman so many other times, it's
easy." she said. "I've been the firM woman vice-chancel-
lor ol the biggest >\Mem in the country at SUNY. I was
the first woman president of Plallsburg. I was the first
woman chancellor of the Boston campus, so that's not
even an issue. I've already done that. I've already worried
aboul that.
"In fact. I ilon'i feel anywhere near as much heal or
pressure as I did the first year I came to Boston. I came
to Boston with a five-million dollar cut the first week."
Penney's views on education are considered a-volu-
lionary by some. Several students spoke openly about
their opinions of her ideas.
Some ol her ideas include promoting interactive
learning over the traditional lecture method and chal-
lenging the ellecliveness of the typical academic year.
She also supports acruss-lhe-board computer lilera
cy.
"For a long time we have seen |leclures| as the major
tiKxle of leaching." she said. "The lecture with ihe pro-
lessor as the all knowing person, who gives you the
knowledge. We know thai another way of teaching
which is perhaps nnire effective is imeraclive leaching
where you and the professor work together finding
information. You are an active participant.'
Students currently enrolled in lecture classes sided
with Penney's idea of reducing this type of leaching.
Renee Schaiman. a sophomore Biology major, said
she prefers smaller classes where ihe professors know
her by name. Schaiman transferred from Keane Stale
College where she said the largest class she had was 45
students.
"I just came from a 540-pcrson lecture," she said. "If
I'm trying do listen) and thi; person behind me is talk-
ing, it's difficult."
Craig Dcininger. a graduate student in English, also
supports more interactive leaching. He referred lo lec-
tures as simply packing his short-term memory and
said he remembers nothing from them.
"Thai's definitely ihe way to go." he said. "The only
time the lecture is good is if yciu gel someone who puts
on a giKxl show."
Full-lime academies
in an arlidc wriilen for the American Society of
Nc-wspaper Editors, Penney takes a stand on restructur-
ing the academic year.
"We're definitely moving toward the year-round
school year." she wrote. "Students won't lake the sum-
mer off. What we do today is inelficienl."
Asked about this statement, Penney elaborated on its
meaning.
"We have let our-elves think that thea-'s soiiKlhing
magic aboul going for four years in a particular
lime-frame and taking a course lor 15 weeks," she
said. "What we need lo think aboul in the future is
How long divs it lake lo learn something'.''
"Il maybe po.ssible lo learn ihe same amount of
information ur material in three years that are concen-
trated. In some cases it may lake five."
Penney also favors computer liieniey for graduating
students
"I foresee technology playing a much larger rule in
higher education," she wrote in her article. "I would
hope thai every student who graduates from |L'Mass| is
computer literate."
Pamela Sequeirc, a graduate student in International
Education, said that computers aren't necessarily the
answer for everyone.
"I'm against a lot i>f technology." she said. "People
have their phobias aboul computers."
Though Penney admits her views and approach to
teaching may not be traditional, she said she does
spend considerable time thinking aboul her role in
leadership.
"I am quite convinced thai in the future we can not
look lo a great leader lo take care of us or save us." site
said. "We're only going lo be strong as a university or
stale or nation when we all get together.
"I guess ihal's one of the reasons I'm happy lo do
this, and work with the other chancellors, and work
with the faculty and the siudenls. lo try lo figure out
how we can work logelher. One individual leader isn'l
going to do that anvTnorc."

What is your opinUni of the
O.J. Simpson verdicts?
"I'm personally glad he was found
not guilty because no one — black,
white, lew or gentile — needs lo be
convicted of something they didn't do.
I think the defense team did an excel-
lent job. "
Dan Lizana
junior, history
ipringPieid
"Basically, I feel like it's a
Catch-22. Even though these jurors,
who are majority black, made a con-
clusive decision, the decision is still
being questioned on a rhetorical
level. I'm thinking if it were a pre-
dominantly while jury, would the
media still ask these questions?*

*l think it's ridiculous actually.
There's so much overwhelming evi-
dence against him that for it to be
something other than a hung jury or
a guilty verdict is ridiculous.'
Amy Griffin

'] think thai he was probably
guilty but the way the trial was han-
dled and the controversy with Mark
Fuhrman made the prosecution
screw up. He might have done it but
the prosecution didn't prove it
beyond a reasonable doubt. If they
can't prove he was 100 percent
guilty, then he shouldn't have lo
spend the rest of his life in jail."
David Ehrlich
senior, biologySuftem, N. Y.
"My own personal opinion is thai
he was guilty but that trial shows
what monL7 can buy in our society.
In this ease, it bought 0.|. inno-
cence. Without money for his
defense team, he would not have
gotten off."

in the program as a non- degree
graduate student for the 1994-95
academic year because there seemed
lo be job openings in technical writ-
ing, but not in sociology.
"If I were to look [for a technical
writing job) in Eastern Mass. I proba-
bly would be able to make more
money than I would have otherwise."
0_Leary said.
Until recently, the engineers who
created the technology wrote the
manuals, leading to confusing materi-
al inside the manuals.
In an article printed in the New
York Times on May 5, 1994. Peter
Jordan, a technical writer for Sony,
said that his lack of engineering expe-
rience actually made him perfectly
qualified for the job.
"They hired me because I was not
a technical sophisticate." Jordan said
to the Times. "They wanted me lo
work with their engineers. I translat-
ed their really awful prose into some-
ihing people could understand."
History of the program
Professor John R. Nelson. Ir. of the
UMass English department started
PW/TC in 1990. He said siudenis
approached him regularly throughout
the 1980s, wanting to learn aboul
ttx'hnical writing. Since he worked as
a consultant for a technology corpo-
ration on the side al the lime, he
would take students with him when-
ever he went.
"I sort of set I hem on my shoulder
and showed them what I was doing."
said \elson. who is known to his stu-
dents as "Uncle lohn." "I gave them
some things to do which gave ihem
some iniernship experience. There
were no real courses."
One of these students landed a
co-op al Digital in the lale l9K0s.
Nelson said The studenl_s supervi-
sor. Dick Howard, formed a partner-
ship with Nelson. According to
Nelson. Howard wanted lo gel
involved with leaching, so he recruit-
ed several technical writers with
assorted specializations lo lecture
Nelson.s students for one class peri
od a year. In return. Nelson would
provide students that Digital could
Irain as technical writers through
co-ops.
At the lime, Nelson said, UMass
offered a basic Icxhnical writing class
lo engineers only. Nelson joined up
wilh its inslruclor. lorry Allen, and
together they implemented lechnical
writing classes for English majors
and other students wilh slaing writ-
ing skills.
Howard is no longer involved in
ihe program and Allen retired last
spring. Nelson said, but PW/TC still
kcx'ps close ties lo several profession-
al lechnical writers
A program in turmoil
The program currently offers four
classes for non- engineers, graduate
and undergraduate. Seven graduate
English students are leaching the
technical writing classes for engi-
neers. Nelson said, but he now
leaches ihe 12-credil. one-year pro-
gram by himself According lo
Nelson, the English DeparimenI does
not plan lo replace Allen in Ihe near
future.
Nelson added that student interest
in the program is high, bul resources
are low. He said ihal the program
focuses on computer software manu-
al writing because of a widespread
need for software manual writers, bul
he can noi offer computer training
classes. He cited large classes and
lack of help as reasons, adding that
he cannot accept any more siudenls
until another lechnical writing pro-
fessor is hired
Rob Mcintosh is one of the seven
graduate student teachers in PW/TC
this semester. Mcintosh livk PW/TC
last year, and got a technical writing
job al Data Views in Northampton
this summer through Nelson.
"I ihink and |ohn ihinks we need
more professors lo leach the class-
es." he said. "Given the lechnical
writing program s ability to help
people find internships and jobs.
Thai wciuld be a good case for
expanding the program. If you want
lo find English majors jobs, the
quickest and most effective way of
doing that is through technical writ-
ing "

II ^ nicf to li\c in a (.uuntiA when- lilc. liberty, and

Kidtnan. To Die For.
Not Ciuiliy O I Simpson acquitted on all counts. As
you read Ihe^e lines. O.j Simpson is no longer a defen
dam. no longer an inmate, no longer a deranged passen
ger of .A.C. Cowlings, but a free man. He has been cleared
of murder charges in the trial of the centur> .'\i long last
the circus is o\er.
Realistically, this was not the trial of the centurv.
intense marketing notwithstanding. Nuremburg was tnuch
more important. Nor wav il the critne of the century, as il
pales in relation to the Lindbergh case. What O. I. means
to America, though, and what this trial has meant to a
nation s collective convcious. is where
thi> charade assumes significance. ^^~^^^^^^~
Look at all the household names
that little picture tube has beamed
into our living rooms. Lance ho.
Marcia Clark. Kato Kaelin. lohnnie
Ciichran. Mark Furhman. Robert
Shapiro. Christopher Darden. This
list is by no means exhaustive. And
really, there is nc) reason for the pub-
lic at large to know these people. .As
way of example, who is your local
District Attorney' How many
.NLi^Nachuseits iudge^ can you name'.'
These people have all become famous
in their own right through the fame
of one O |. Simpscm.
We have been subjected — ncp.
bombarded — with information,
speculation, argumentation and vilifi-
cation. CNN and the other media
outletN have sold ads. peddled papers
and eagerly profiteered as a direct
result of a murder trial. T-shirt salesmen, late night come-
dians. Kiito Kaelin and counties", others have used the two
deaths jv springboards for their own advancement.
Countless talking heads" have spouted their expertise,
trying daily to assess the progress of the case and prolong
their fat paychecks. The Simpson trial demonstrated that
America is culturally, ethically and morally depraved.
We are fixated with fame. It doesn I seem to matter
where that notoriety derives from. People seek out
autographs and handshakes from everyone even
remotely involved with O |. Every night since the mur
ders in June of l')^4. some O.I. tidbit made the nightly
news broadcast. The Boston Glohc. in deference to the
swarm of public interest surrounding all things
When the new breed
of political theorists
and philosophers make
the case for dictatorship
in the future, all they
need is point to the
rabid stupidity of O.j.
watchers everywhere. It
should be readily
apparent these people
are hardly fit to govern.
AJ. Stewart
Simpson, started a Sunday column entitled "All O.L,
All The Time." That pretty much sums up the disgust
many people have experienced suffering through this
endless process.
I can t help feeling that if I had to spend a year in
Antarctica, last year would have been an ideal choice, if
only to avoid lohnnie Cochran's smug pontifications or
updates of Marcia Clark's new hairstyle. We have seen
people on the side of the highway holding placards
exhorting the fleeing O.j. to keep driving in that white
Bronco.
Ninety-five million people watched in amazement that
night, and many have stayed close to their televisions
monitoring every last movement. I find this fascination
disturbing I am more convinced than ever that people are
willingly herded and easily distracted
by the most ridiculous events. When
the new breed of political theorists
and philosophers make the case for
dictatorship in the future, all they
need is point to the rabid stupidity of
0.|. watchers everywhere. It should
be readily apparent these people are
hardly fit to govern.
In the final analysis. 0.|. didn't
make anyone a passive observer, or a
greedy opportunist, or a morally
bankrupt voyeur. The underlying val-
ues were already in place and dis-
cernable to those who were willing
to look But the Simpson trial has
publically exposed our buffoonery,
our susceptibility to the perverse and
our willingness to advance ourselves
at every opportunity. But that is
what American culture has evolved
into. We have no core principles,
honor or nobility. The trial has been
a groping for the lowest common denominator, which in
this age is quite small.
So rejoice all you 0.|. lovers, maybe your new found
friends will make sitcom cameos and infomercial appear-
ances to whet your appetite for the morose and famous.
Until then, you can weep that your new TV friends must
go Their world stage has been swept away. What will you
do without a daily dose of Ito? Or that nasty racist
Furhman? Or the best defense team money can buy?
These questions will take time to be resolved. Hopefully it
will be far away from the glare of spotlights and finally
put to bed But for now. thankfully, there is some closure.
And the luice is Loose.

The vicious cycle of corporations
Editor s note this is the second
part to yesterdiiy's column
"The inside to corporate
muneuvers. "
Other employees are looking to
squeeze back into the workforce once
they ate laid-off. They have a limited
severance pay and a questionable
placement service paid for by the
company. The placement service is a
contracted (out- sourced) organiza-
tion that assist> the employee in writ-
ing resumes, finding jobs, making
contacts, etc.
The soon to be laid -off employee
struggles to re-educate themselves
belore they run out of time and
money They hope to attain new com-
puter and technical skills before they
run out ol money and severance ben-
efits The fortunate laborer might get
lucky and find something in the ser-
vice. food or retail industry.
However, they will suffer a grievous
reduction in pay from what they pre-
viously earned.
A few talented middle-aged
employees find out they are
"overqualified" for entry level posi-
tions in the corporate trenches. They
are turned away at the door or in the
mail with a note claiming they have
loo much experience for the position
they applied for. Thus, the overquali
lied employee must engage more time
and limited financial resc)urces seek-
ing a job that is either filled already
or unaltainable with their current
educaliona! background. In other
words, they do not have the right cre-
dentials or qualifying skills to maneu-
ver ink) a middle management posi-
tion.
The average earning employee
must either join the tanks of the tech-
nologically iidvantuged. or swim the
tide and flow of shifting economic
globalization. Be careful of the
undertow.
As I look back on my job. I paint
a skeptical, if not somewhat dismal,
picture of corporate shifts in the face
of international global competition.
The people I worked lor became dis-
mally aware of the injITecIual repre-
sentation and unionization pt)wer
available to them when the corporate
Directors make a Snal decision. Once
when I was driving home from work.
I had a strange, imaginative thought.
I envisioned an entity that comprised
of America's largest conglomerates
and trust-bust proof industries. I
imagined this monstrosity gyrating,
dancing, moving about in a display of
horrific splendor, courting and cajol-
ing foreign monopolies and them-
selves.
Below the feet of the
amalgamated mass I
saw a more horrible
scene. I saw hundreds
of thousands teeming
masses moving under-
neath, many of them
hoping to be carried
away by this cavorting
giant.

Below the feet of Ihe amalgamated
mass I saw a more horrible scene. 1
saw hundreds of thousands of teem-
ing masses moving underneath, many
of them hoping to be carried away by
this cavorting giant. Many who were
noticed were fiowned upon and sum-
marily crushed underneath a giant
heel.
I hope the United States can
re-establish a better relationship
with its people. We need a
socio-political agenda that moves
beyond a renewed contract with
America, and reaffirm an obligation.
That obligation should acknowledge
a commitment not solely based on
corporate expansionism, but tied
inexorably to the rights of the work-
ing peoples. The nation of America
and its collective states must support
the social, political, and economic
opportunities and determinism of the
citizens over that of the corporate
individual.
Furthermore. I believe that if the
general public can no longer function
in an economy centered around shift-
ing monopolistic and quasi-
autonomous corporations, then the
ideology of American as a united
nation will be lost to global cannibal-
ism. The U.S. will appear more as a
conglomerate of merchant or techni-
cal states bound by mutual capitalist
interests. The U.S. of the Northeast.
Midwest, South and West will
replace that of the America.
The ideas of capitalist growth or
global expansion are not absolutely
tyrannical, but they should not con-
sume those who helped flower its
growth. People such as Franklin
Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson
were acutely aware of the problems
of capitalist monopolies and thus
sought to minimize its abu.ses. WTien
the industrial corporate maneuvers
are detrimental to the survival of its
citizens, the people have a manifest
duty to challenge their relationship
with the state.
Hence, the raison d'etat should
not become inimical to the individu-
als who comprise it. lust as people
call for absolute economic freedom,
they must answer to absolute eco-
nomic inequality.
I don't lay blame to any individual
corporation, nor is my vision limited
to that of the U.S. More importantly,
I don't seek solutions by pointing the
finger — it often rotates in a vicious
circle. All I do know is that the inter-
nal machinations of corporate cost
cutting techniques makes life some-
what nasty, brutish and disconcert-
ing.
In the end. in some world court of
multi-national preeminence, the cor-
porate cartels/monopolies will have
to answer to the collective majority
and hope their people will exonerate
or absolve them.

A huge injustice

Not Guilty''
How could he be not guilty?
As I watched the verdict being read. I was sure
0.|. Simpson was going to be convicted.
But incredibly, he was found not guilty.
How could this happen?
I am just so outraged.
As I stood there and watched 0.|. smile
after the reading of the verdict. I wanted to
throw up And then to see Ronald
Goldman s family so shocked and choked
up. His sister was. so upset that she could-
n't control herself It had to be one of the
worst things I ve ever seen. I really can t
imagine what they were feeling. I don't
want to know what they are feeling.
And then to hear people cheering about
the verdict out on the streets and in the Bluewall. What is
that? How can people cheer about such an injustice? it
makes me sick What is wrong with people today?
When I watched Fred Goldman, the victim s father,
during the press conference afierwards. tears were coming
to my eyes. Losing your child is the worst thing But when
your child is murdered, and then the person, who all the
evidence is pointing to. is found not guilty, it has to be
just horrible. Horrendous.
This entire trial was ridiculous. It completely mocked
the entire judicial system The trial lasted over eight
months, but the deliberation lasted just under four hours.
Four hours^
How can the jury go through all the evidence in that
short of a time? The jurors must have just wanted to get
the hell out of there, because there is no way the jury could
have thoroughly gone over all of the evidence in that time.
The evidence was there. This man was on a "^ 11 tape
wk
screaming and yelling at Nicole Simpson There was evi-
dence that he had beaten her before, more than once, in
the past That right there is proof that if he could beat
her. then he could certainly kill her That s
proiil enough for me.
There was DNA evidence linking him to
•scene. How can you dispute that? There was
blood on his Bronco. There were two
blcKKjy gloves, one at the scene of the crime
and one at O I s house. There was so much
evidence. I don t think it can take just four
hours to make that kind of division.
At the press conference after the trial,
defense attorney lohnnie Cochran said.
All we had to prove was that there was a
reasonable doubt, and we did that."
So basically, what he's saying is that he
didn I prove that 0.| didn t do it, but just that there was
reasonable doubt. That is just ridiculous.
I think this case should be used as an example of why
the judicial system should be re-examined I also think
that the reactions to the verdict should
wake up call to America.
It s just disgraceful that I heard people cheering and
saw people smiling. 0.| was seen in the courtriKmi pump
ing his fist, hugging all of his sleazy lawyers The camera
was lollowing 0.|. once again on the freeway in another
white vehicle, but this time he wasn't fleeing the police.
He was heading home.
But where he should have been heading was back to
jail, where he belongs. Because in my mind, the evidence
was loo overwhelming to ignore.
A huge injustice has occurred because the luice should
have been put on ice.

Letters to the Editor
Policies can be
more problematic
To the Editor:
Last Friday, Collegian columnist
Erin Barnes presented us with a
column describing how poor coun-
tries could increase their wealth by
exploiting their natural resources.
Her concern with the welfare of
poor nations was touching, but the
policies she promotes will do more
harm than good. I will critique her
argument in three major ways.
First, her use of the word
"resource" to describe nature
implies that the environment has no
intrinsic value of its own and that,
in the spirit of neoclassical econom-
ics, it is only an "asset" to be "liqui-
dated" for human consumption.
This anthropocentric attitude leads
us to ignore the many virtues of the
environment besides its value as a
raw material for industry.
Second, the exploitation of rain
forests and inineral deposits not
only threatens the balance of life on
the planet, but poses a direct threat
to the thousands of indigenous peo-
ple who depend on the natural
areas of countries like Surinam
(Barnes' example) for their survival.
In Guyana, which is also in the
northeast region of South America,
many species of plants and animals
have been destroyed by transna-
tional timber companies.
The rivers are being dredged and
poisoned with mercury by transna-
tional mining corporations in the
hunt for gold, an act of conquest
that is not only reminiscent of colo-
nial times, but exclusively benefits
the industry tycoons. This leads to
my third point.
The use of "natural resources" in
poor nations will produce wealth,
but only a liny fraction of it will
ever reach the p>opulations of these
countries, and certainly not enough
to compensate for the loss of the
forest dwelling plants and animals
and the poisoning of drinking
water with mercury and cyanide.
Under the World Bank policies
that Barnes seems to advocate,
debt burdened countries like
Surinam will continue their service
role as supplies of raw materials
and cheap labor for private indus-
try which gives virtually nothing in
return.
Many mainstream policy advo-
cates, like Barnes, think only in west-
ernized Amerocentric lenns and lack
the theoretical analysis lo see the full
impact of World Bank and IMF poli-
cies of Structural Adjustnieni 'hiey
must analyze the structure of the
world ect)nomy which keeps power
in the hands of private industry and
prevents "developing nations" from
making their t)wn decisions about
how to use their resources.
Without doing this, they will not
see what the true benefits and losses
of these policies have, do and will
continue to bring to the Third World.

France's gov't,
not second-rate
To the Editor:
In Peter Orvetti's column on
Sept. 29, he took the opportunity
afforded by President lacques
Chirac's decision to allow nuclear
testing in the South Pacific in order
to mount a general attack on
French political and social life.
I certainly agree that Chirac's
decision is an arrogant Gaulisi ges-
ture that deserves the world wide
condemnation it is receiving. But to
describe contemporary France as "a
weakened, second-rate industrial
democracy" is to display a disturb-
ing ignorance of contemporary
reality outside the United Stales.
France is usually ranked the
world s fifth industrial power in
terms of gross domestic product.
It exports a far higher percentage
of that product than docs the U.S.
and for many years il has had a
very healthy trade surplus that is in
marked contrast to our own huge
trade deficits. Il has an inflation
rate of around two percent, which
is also below ours.
The most significant negative eco-
nomic figure is an unemployment
rate of over 1 1 percent, a figure that
is. however, not vety far alxive the
European Coninuinity average
(Spain's is 22 percent) France's stan-
dard of living is one ol the highest in
the world (far higher than it ever was
in what Orvetii relets lo as its "glory
days") and suffers less than the U.S.
again from the gross disparity of
wealth and incoiiie betwivn average
wage earners aiul the vety rich.
France also has a mass trans-
poriaiion system that makes
Anitrak and the New "Vork subway
system look positively Third World.
It has a higher education system
that is virtually free lo all those
who pass the baccalaureate: a first-
class, universal health care system:
and a national system of well-run
creches or nursery schools that
enable working mothers to leave
their children with trained profes-
sionals at very little or no cost from
the age of a few months on.
I understand your columnist's
outrage at Chirac s nuclear tests.
But "a weakened second-rate
industrial democracy?" We should
be .so lucky!

Cuba: The Cold War*s last battle
In October 1992. the United States
Congress approved resolution 4168
from the House of Representatives,
called the Cuba
Democracy Act, also
known as Toricelli's
law. This law pre-
tends to isolate the
Cuban regime and
includes sanctions for third countries
and divisions of any US company
Luis
Alvaro Joloma
doing business with the island.
Unfortunately for Cuba, this resolu-
tion adds up to the results of all
Soviet economical,

These days. Cuba
struggles to keep its
ragile economy afloat
The US-Cuban embargo began
with a geopolitical situation that
nowadays is non-existent. Cuba has
stopped its support for subversive
movements. Its troops have left
Angola. Somalia, Ethiopia and other
African countries and has stopped
the covert operations in Latin
America and the Caribbean The
island is no longer a military threat to
the US or its neighbors and its allies.
The Cold War is over: and vet.
The Phillipines Inc.
Zaw
Min Oo
Fidel V Ramos handles daily operations at one of the
new trendy firms thai have more interest in the growth of
the overall firm rather than to intensify the improvements
piece by piece. Mr. Ramos aspires to initiate the
Philippines Incorporated on a rampant economic competi-
tiveness while trying to maintain the factors of this
priKcss at a steady-state equilibrium.
Mr. Ramos is an idealist that is at the
helm of The Philippines Inc.. a firm that has
leapt into the economic bandwagon before
the new century. The terminology
Incorporated represents a country branching
itself into the sea of giant conglomerates.
The Philippines is situated in the sizzling southeast
Asian region, where competition exists every step of the
way. Its neighbors: Thailand. Malaysia, and Indonesia are
at the forefront of industrializing themselves to reach the
stage of a Newly Industrialized Country (NIC) Being a kit-
ten in a club of cats, how does the Philippines compete?
What has always plagued the Philippines are internal
disputes that have contorted the advancement of the
country. From 1961-1986. Ferdinand Marcos held an
iron fist at the development of the modern Philippine
nation. During this time, the Islamic southern island of
Mindanao fell it was not an entity of the predominantly
Roman Catholic country. Mindanao wanted to break
apart because it was becoming a backwater that did noth-
ing but lake orders from the capital. Manila.
Appearing precedent all over the country was Manila
centricism like this Mindanao dilemma, influenced by the
deceitful tactics of red-tape (corruption) and the emer-
gence of greed.
By the first quarter of 1986. the People Power revolu-
tion ttK)k place. The six years that followed after became
an era of ill-fated reforms by President Corazon Aquino
and her administration. There were about 60 million peo-
ple left to satisfy from Marcos' legacy.
Most problems that Mrs. Aquino faced were a monu-
mental task, that by any means would not have been
solved in her six year presidential term. In 1992. Fidel
Ramos won the presidential elections on a plurality, as
many candidates flocked to challenge the dilemmas facing
the country.
Ramos has tried to undermine the improvements for
the entile country. He is not a miracle worker or a strate-
gist. Ramos is a saint that understands charity and prag-
maticism. His reforms are geared toward human develop-
ment. He can be noticed on media airwaves and newspa-
pers cheering "the Filipino can."
Ramos' human development scheme is engulfed by the
economic recovery which are both interwoven. Human
and economic development are factors to the Ramos plan
of competitiveness in the region II is hard lo fully under-
stand the genuine intents especially in handling a country.
Let us bricH) glance at a case of development in the
Philippines
To develop the Filipino mind would unleash a potential
able to rival its most competitive neighbors It is not
because the Filipino mind is exonerate: just
that the ability lo improve has been given
more leeway Regulations have been
reduced and intellectual freedom has been
allowed lo curb former failures.
Industrial estates all over the country
have been constructed in order lo bring in needed foreign
investment. Foreign investment means international
cooperation and a shift of technology from the investors
to the Filipinos. Technology can be used in harnessing
economic development, making use of the low wages in
the country.
Economic deveU)pment will improve the standard of
living and ultimately, human development will bloom.
Note that human development is the overall amassment of
social development (ex: education) and living conditions
(ex: health)
This theoretical jargon finds light in the correlation
between human development and economic development.
Both of these developments are like complementary
goods. As one increases in demand, the other would like-
wise.
Is Ramos really smiling? His scheme is a basic idea that
does not end so easily. There are problems that are evi-
dently affecting the Phillipine development scene. Three
basic points concerning demographics are to be
addressed. 1. Sixty-five million people now inhabit an
archipelago of over 7(X)0 islands, with about half of its
land on a slope of 18 percent or greater. 2. Migration to
the cities continues. 5. About 40 percent of the popula-
tion is under 1 4 years of age.
The combination of these three points translates into a
population problem. Human and economic development
arc both directly affected by population, so Ramos is now
under the heat. To handle the problem would be lo imple-
ment plans that add up to the general picture. His neigh-
bors are having similar problems and yet are developing
rapidly. Could this single problem he solved for the
Philippines?
Answer: Fidel V. Ramos takes a hint from the examples
in Thailand. Malaysia, and Indonesia. He sends a message
to the world; Think what you think: We are The
Philippines Inc. and we are open for business!

Cuba's society has to bear the conse-
quences of policies that are not in
accordance to the actual geopolitical
situation.
It has been said by many interna-
tional scholars and organizations (the
UN. the Rand Corporation, the Army
War College) that the embargo, far
from supporting economic reform
and change, is doing the contrary. At
this point in time, the Cuban
Democracy Act has stopped being a
feasible option for the island. Havana
has taken the economic and social
damage done by the world events and
blamed it on the US: making resolu-
tion 4168 backlash at the US by
awakening images of a small, heroic
country against the hostile Goliath,
among the population.
The main objective of the
Torricelli's Law is to force Fidel
Castro to leave his office by destroy-
ing Cuba's economy. The questions
that need to be answered are: Does
not the embargo make the island's
social and economic stability harder
to achieve? Does the US want a
neighboring weak economy prone to
the proliferation of anarchy'' What
happens when the Cuban exiles
oppose to those that live on the
island? Nobody in Congress has paid
attention to these matters.
Many critics of resolution argue
that even though the US is using free
trade and other forms of economic
incentives to help develop democrac-y
in Vietnam. China, the former Soviet
Union, and Eastern European coun-
tries, it does not want to do so with
Cuba. This line of action is already
starting to affect the leadership posi-
tion the US has among the Latin
American countries The only reason
for the delay in policy changes has
been the fear of massive return from
Cuban exiles to the island, leaving
the state of Florida with a debilitated
economy.
The Cuban American community
has strongly contributed to the politi-
cal campaigns of the last five admin-
istrations: and so far, it's the only
ethnic group that supports the
embargo. Other reason for Congress'
behavior is the intense emotions

So far, Cuba is starting to make
changes in its laws regarding foreign
investments. These laws make it pos-
sible for companies lo completely
own their Cuban subsidiaries. This is
an excellent offer that unfortunately
US companies will not be able lo take
advantage of. However, other coun-

the diplomatic initiatives and dia-
logue, and easing the tension
between both administrations. The
results of lifting the embargo would
prevent illegal immigration, promot-
ing political tolerance, and set the
pace to solve other issues not dealt
with yet.
Lifting the embargo is the only
way to avoid further deterioration of
Cuba's economy and social structure.
Not doing this, would eventually
backlash at the US. mainly with
more illegal immigration, and wel-
fare expenses, that hurt the taxpay-
er's pocket. In the end, both coun-
tries would benefit from a change in
policy The moment for change and
reform is now. Nothing guarantees
that lifting the embargo will create
an immediate socio- political redirec-
tion, but not lifting it creates a new
geopolitical scenario, more complex
and hard to deal with, since it will
include other cinjntries. There is no
certainty of the effectiveness of lift
ing the embargt), but after ^'i years
of Cuban isolation, it's well worth a

La Operacion: A true nightmare
It was very politically correct to
screen Im Operaaon. a documentary
on the operation sterilization that
has swept through the U.S. txxupied
territory of Puerto Rico since WorW
War IL An operation that has ren
dered J5 peaent of the female popu
lation of the island incapable of con
ceiving children now or ever again.
It was also politically correct to
denounce the United Stales for its
role in financing the entire opera-
tion, ostensibly to help this underde-
veloped territory with it's population
problem, but really just to increase
the female labor force in the facto-
ries it has opened in Puerto Rico.
The fact that women in factories are
easily manageable (which is lo say
that they are willing to work longer
hours on lesser wages) makes it
desirable to have them in factories
behind sewing machines, rather than
at home taking care of the children.
The documentary interviewed
several Puerto Rican women upon
whom the sterilization process had
been carried out. Most of the time
this was done with lies and half
truths that only explained the bene-
fits of the surgery against other
tedious and expensive birth control
measures, but almost never revealed
the fact that the process is irre-
versible. To a culture where chil-
dren and family are top priority,
this is nothing short of a catastro-
phe.
La Operacidn also revealed that
in the early days of the pill as a
contraceptive, it was brought into
Puerto Rico and tested on women
without their knowledge or con-
sent. There was even the use of life
threatening contraceptives in an
attempt to control the fast growing
population of Puerto Rico, and the
documentary included in graphic
detail of a tubal ligation in
progress.
After the documentary, the audi-
ence was treated to a completely
unprepared, amateurish talk by one
of the organizers of the event on
the various methods of birth con-
trol. The floor was then thrown
open to the audience. The most
entertaining of all was the opinion
of one gentleman, sprawled on the
Hoor with a child asleep in his lap.
He launched on a voluble theory
about the Earth being big enough
and well enough equipped to sup-
port the population, even without
any sort of checks on its growth.
His solution to all the problems of
the third world nafions was simply
to reclaim lands that had been kwt in
the past, and also to prevent concen-
tration of land in the hands of a few,
through redistribution among the
poorer, landless sections of the pop-
ulation While this was a perfectly
utopic solulitm, it was offensive to
tht)se of us from third world coun-
tries Underdeveloped nations,
almost all t)f which have serious pt)p-
ulalion prv)blems at the ro^rt o( their
troubles, are the countries that were
colonized by the white imperialists
kx>king for raw materials and mar-
kets during the Industrial
Revolution
Most of these countries remained
colonized through both the World
Wars Some, like Puerto Rico, are
still under the "protection" of larg-
er, developed nations like the U.S.,
and certainly even those who have
managed to purge their oppressors
from their homes are still reeling
from the impact of centuries of col-
onization and exploitation.
Here we have governments
which have little or no contact with
In view of this, some
white person sittingin
an air- conditioned
room in the United
States, spewing out

pletely impractical solu-
tions for countries,

pancy is offensive.

the most rural sections of the pt>pu-
lation. let alone redistributing land
among them. For anything like
redistribution to work, the govern-
ment would have lo form commit-
tees at different levels and delegate
work.
However, even if the intentions
are good, it would take nothing less
than a miracle to cut through the
red tape of bureaucracy that would
loom high al every turn. Not to
mention the vast sums of money
that would never make il past the
various levels.
To make a long story short, gov-
ernments of the third world
nations, in fact, have little touch
with the poor masses, who make
up the largest sector of its popula-
tion. Besides, if people were to start
reclaiming their lost land, the
Indigenous tribes of America would
lead the mission.
I want to make it clear here that
by no means do I support what is
going on in Puerto Rico. But as a
citizen of a third world country I
do recognize the need for popula-
tion control, of course with a great
deal more of discretion than is
being used in Puerto Rico.
Certainly not by wiping out families
by ensuring that a woman never
has even one child, that too though
means that takes advantage of peo-
ple's ignorance.
In view of this, some white per-
son sitting in an air- conditioned
room in the United States, spewing
out sweet sounding, completely
impractical solutions for countries,
where people are dying even as he
speaks, is flippant. And his flippan-
cy is offensive.
What was called for was a larger
group of people from the third
world, who would have had at least
something more intelligent to con-
tribute to the discu.ssion. Certainly
il was shocking to find not even
one Puerto Rican among the audi-
ence, despite the fact that there is
a large Puerto Rican population at
UMass and in the Five College
area, and a Puerto Rican student
association (Boricuas UnidosI on
campus.
Unfortunately, someone did not
do their homework. For at 7 p.m.
on Sept 12. Room 904 of the
UMass Campus Center was filled
with a solid group of white
Americans, and incidentally, three
others from third world countries.
not one of whom was from Puerto
Rico itself. Apparently there was
virtually no publicity at all. for if a
decent attempt had been made at
publicizing the event, doubtless it
would have generated a more
international audience. But RAIL.
The Alliance for Student Power
and MIM. the co sponsors of this
event, seemed lo have contented
themselves with a tiny ad in the
UMass Daily Collegian.
It is no wonder that, when we
expressed our irritation to the orga-
nizers after the talk, they were
extremely apologetic and also
rather uneasy, perhaps due to the
presence of two Collegian staff
members. I am sure they were
pleasantly surprised to find no cov-
erage of their event. I must admit
that I too was surprised, and not
pleasantly so. al the lack of
response from the Collegian.
So a documentary was screened
on the horrific goings on in Puerto
Rico. The "right thing" had been
done, and like everything else that
is politically correct, this event too
fell fiat on its face.

Keatons directorial debut a tearjerker
Could 1995 be the year that the local music scene hits
the big time'.' Several years ago, Billboard Magazine
naitic-d Northampton as a musical hotspoi and since then,
few bands have received much recognition outside the
local press. But that is slowly changing largely due to the
excellence of Chunk Records in their effort to document
the scene.
Their latest release is the full length debut by
Hadley's own The Veronica Cartwrights. Led by
Jeff Lloyd, the band nicely fits into the ever
growing group of locals who grew up with a
bit too much of | Mascis. Even Lloyd's vocals
are a near replica of Mascis' famous voice. It
must be the local drinking water.
Throw together some Dino |r, Neil
Young and a bit of traditional country
and you have the Cartwrights'. They
hardly hide their influences by naming
one song, "Neil Young Blues." The band's
beauty shines on ballads such as "Freezing
Reign", while the band's rockin' side comes out on tunes
like. "20 X 20 X 20" that are filled with deliciously catchy
hooks. The band may not reinvent rock n' roll, but they
will certainly keep you singing in your sleep.
To add to the band's spice, Lloyd is helped out on song-
writing by his band-mates, josh Belknap and Lcs Labarge.
All three regularly switch instruments, much like old
Sebadoh.
Fortunately you can see the band on a regular basis at
local clubs as they have become a popular live attraction.
At the least, this release will just add to the growing num-
ber of strong local albums released this year. B (Mike

One word comes to mind when you listen to Liz Phair's
short collection of remixes and unheard tracks: Why. Why
would such a wonderful songwriter and musician tarnish
her impressive career with such a bad collection of songs?
To be fair, the feisty songstress does have one redeem-
ing track; unfortunately it's "lealousy" and chances are if
you buy this album you probably already own Whipsmart
so that can't be a plausible excuse.
"Turning lapanese" has to be the scariest sounding
track followed by "California" and "Batmobile." The last
two were old tracks that were previously unrcleased —
they should have stayed that way.

lust as with its prcdeccNsors.
Vnstrung Heroes is the bittersweet
tale of a young boy trying to cling to
his childhood, all the while some
life-altering tragedy is forcing him to
grow up quickly. Keaton's film tits
into the formula perfectly, and
although it may not be an original
plot, audiences are entertained
nonetheless.
The boy who suffers innocence lost
is 12-year-old Steven Lidz, played
delightfully by Nathan Watt (even
with the star-siiiddcd cast, he's UK-
reason to see this film). It is the
I960's, and Steven is dealing with
ddolcsceni problems like delivering a
speech for class president in his
junior high school elections, and
being teased by his peers because his
lather is suppo>edly, "(rum another
planet."
Steven's father, Sid (played by
lohn Turlurro of Quiz Show) is
emotionally distant, but not from
outer space. Sid is a scientist who
does everything methodically, but
there is no limitation to his creativi-
ty. Steven's mother, played by
Andie MacDowell (Four Weddings
and a Funeral), becomes terminally
ill and thus Steven's confusion
ensues.
In an angry attempt to escape the
household dilemmas. Steven runs
away to live with his emotionally
troubled and eccentric uncles
Danny (Michael Richards —
Kramer from "Seinfeld") and
Arthur (Maury Chaykin). You know
ihc t>pc ihc\ don't have a grasp
on reality, and therefore see the
world through children's eyes.
Steven can relate to thtfin better
than his ultra-serious father, and
(surprise) they learn from each
other.
Perhaps the reason why movies
like Lnsirung Heroes capture the
hearts of Klccnex-toting moviegoers
time and time again is that the sad-
ness in the story is very gently
imposed upim the viewer. We are not
frightened b\ this tale, but rather we
are touched. We can sniffle on the
way out of the door, feel better, and
forget about it later.
lia.sed on the novel by Franz Lidz,
Unstrung Heroes is a satisfying
movie. It is all wrapped up, nice and
neat — no need for deep concentra-
tion here. Where the plotline goes
limp, adequate acting and fine
directing pick up the slack. It is a
heart warming story, but unfortu-
nately, not one that leaves a lasting
impression. B

Kravitz's new album shines
Clarinetist excites sold-out audience
By Josh Wardrop
Collegian Correspondent
LENNY KRAVnZ
Circus
Virgin Records
Visiting an antique shop you are
liable to see such an organized mish-
mash of many diverse articles — arti-
cles of different eras, materials,
styles, shades and colors, yet all
seeming to utterly belong together
Listening to Circus. Lenny Kravitz's
fourth album, is the aural equivalent
of visiting an antique shop.
The album contains as many unex-
pected delights and unabashed cele-
brations of the past — while never
losing sight of its contemporary audi-
ence. It may be Kravitz's best album
to date, and at the very least. Circus
should finally put Kravitz on par with
the vastly overrated R.E.M. and U2
as a global phenomenon.
Circus starts off with a bang,
"Rock and Roll Is Dead.' Set upon a
killer guitar riff, the song is a mock-
ing denunciation of poseurs in the
rock industry. The subject to whom
the song is addressed, "can't even
sing or play an instrument' and is in
it all for the. "diamond rings and
coke spoons ... and 5(X) women in
your bed." The song may have bct'n
more relevant in the late 80s when
Kravitz started his career, however,
with its proliferation of hair-metal
bands and lip-synchers (Hello.
NKOTB!)
Kravitz has drawn a great deal of
flak from critics because he refuses to
hide his influences. This writer
belongs to the opposite camp, feeling
that Circus carries the weight it does
partially because Kravitz is so adept
at creating a distinct nKxjd and feel-
ing for each song, as he embraces so
many different styles.
Take "Magdalene," for example.
Kravitz takes this Bowie- esque tale
of a little girl seeking fame and for-
tune ( who ultimately grows up too
fast) and adds a more soulful voice to
the artificial glam-rock.
Beneath all the fuzzy Hendrix-type
guitars and thumping John Bonham
like drums, the individual soul of the
artist shines through clearly in lyrics.
Songs like "Don't Go and Put A
Bullet In Your Head" and "Thin Ice"
show Lenny's passionate concents lor
his brothers living daily with inner-
city desperation.
Kravitz's other main lyrical obses-
sion is his fervent belief in God.
While the reverence of "God Is Love"
may be too pious for some (and too
trippy for others), "In My Life
Today." a love song directed at God.
is perhaps the finest track on the
album. Kravitz's double-track har-
monies on the refrain are a
dc>uble-good. chocolate sprinkles on
Easter morning treat. He can even be
forgiven for using the 'wondcr/ihun-
der/asunder" rhyme in the song.
"The Resurrection." is another
overtly religious tune and an album
ending that Led Zeppelin could smile
upon with pride, with its "Kashmire"
like drums and its mandolin playing
furiously in the background.
The sum of his influences, more
than just the spiritual sun of Lennun
and George Clinton, shows that he is
a constantly evolving vital artist who
looks to the past for inspiration. A
talented musician (Kravitz plays gui-
tar, bjs^. synthesizers, organ, drums,
and more on the album ) who is
una! raid to acknowledge that which
went before: a contemporary star
who doesn't think "retro" is a dirty
word. A

JON^^ANASSE
Bowker Auditorium
October I, 1995
Fifteen minutes before the show began, people were still
trying to get tickets to the sold-out [X'rfonnance of clar-
inetist Ion Manasse last Sundav at liuwkcr .Auditorium.
The auditorium was packed, and even though the show
started almost 20 minutes late, it was well- worth the wait.
Manassc was llawless as he hit every note with the pre-
cision and timing of a clock. With an unparalleled pas-
sion for playing, Manasse proved why he is one of the
greatest clarinetist of his generation. He moved with the
music as if it was coming from inside of him and not
merely from his instrument. It was as if the instiumcni
was an extension of his soul.
The mix of light-hearted and soft concertos, along with

THE MASSACHUSETTS DAILY COLLEGIAN
MOVIES ~
New film tacky and cheap
Patrick Stewart, Steven Weber star in movie about homosexual love
THE MASSACHUSEITS DAILY COLLEGIAN
By Michael Pessah
Collegian Staff
JEFFREY
Directed by Paul Rudnick
with Potrick Stewart, Steven Weber, Bryan Bait
Playing at Academy of Music
Steven Weber is unquesliunably the happiest looking
guy in the world. The beams of elation that project from
his dimpled cheeks and iwinkly eyes are so warm that
they nearly drown out the animated M&M's that appear
alongside him in a current T.V. commercial. He is a logi-
cal choice to play lerirey. the protagonist of the fllm adap-
tation of the Paul Rudnick play.
leffri'y opens with Weber addressing the camera and
speaking at length about why he has decided to stop
having sex. He explains that the AIDS crisis has taken
"all the fun out of being gay," and that he hopes to
direct all of his sexual energy towards his career (he is
an actor).
We follow leffrey into a gym. where he (surprise)
bumps into Steven, the dream guy (played by the hunky
Bryan Batt). leffrey is unable to resist his carnal impulses
and asks Steven to spot him. resulting in a scctie played
entirely for cheap laughs.
Intent on keeping his pledge of celibacy, leffrey gives
Steven the slip and runs off to visit his interior decorator
friend (Patrick Stewart). Stewart is living with his HIV
positive lover Darius (Michael T. Weiss) who is a dancer
in Cam. leffrey tells them of his dilemma and they give
him shallow fashion advice.
leffrey's situation becomes even more serious when he
discovers that Steven is also HIV positive. The movie,
however, never loses its sophomoric tone. The drama is
intercut with several Hollywood Shuffle style fantasy
sequences. These fantasy sequence include a gay
"leopardy!" and a talk show hosted by Sigoumey Weaver.
The ditference. however, between leffrey and Hollywood
Shuffle is that the sequences in Hollywood Shuffle are
seen through a critical framing device, while the
sequences in leffrey are simply gratuitous skits.
Hollywood Shuffle made a point of portraying exaggerated
black stereotypes so it could later debunk them, leffrey
embraces the stereotypes as real and plays them off for
cheap jokes.
Not that leffrey is all "National Lampoon' style humor.
Throughout the movie it attempts to bring the events into
a serious light. Unfortunately, the dramatic scenes come
off as shallow and tacked on. Even the audience was
laughing at an unnecessary and humorous gay bashing
scene.
There were several genuinely disturbing moments to
leffrey. however. None of them were intentional. The film
IS unhesitantly negative about women. All of the female
performers in the movie are ridiculed (with the exception
of Sigoumey Weaver) and homosexuality is widely cele-
brated as a triumph of men over women. I suspect that if
the genders were reversed, leffrey would have received
widespread criticism.
Additionally, the movie's primary message is that
leffrey needs to lose his inhibitions and go have sex with
someone who is HIV positive. I think that is dangerous.
leffrey is a self-congratulatory, wink wink, nudge
nudge type of movie designed to make it's audience
laugh while they pat themselves on the back for their
open-mindedncss. Though it contains a few silly
laughs, and a couple of amusing cameos, most of it
comes off as a gay minstrel show. Steve Weber sure is
cute though. C
HALLOWEEN: THE CURSE OF MICHAEL MYERS
Directed by Joel Cheppell
with Donald Pleasance
Ploying at Hompshire Six
The new Halloween movie doesn't make much sense.
There are gaping plot holes, conspicuous loose ends, inco-
herent plot and bubbling dialogue. But it docs have two or
three genuinely scary set-pieces.
For those of you that have just crawled out of a large
precipice, the Halloween series documents the murder
stylings of Michael Myers. It was never made clear what
exactly Myers was. but he is presumably some type of evil
demon that mu.st kill everyone that lives in a particular
house. Myers" arch-nemesis is the police psychiatrist,
played by Donald Pleasancc.
The original Halloween film was a scary, low budget
thriller from a then unknown |ohn Carpenter. Halloween
was so successful that every other low-budget director
(including Carpenter) decided to rip it off — giving birth
to the slasher genre.
As the 80's waned to a closed, the slasher craze finally
stopped. Instead of slasher movies, filmmakers started to
make self-righteous, mumbo jumbo gorefests such as
Hellruiser and The Prophecy. These films removed the
trashy violence of slasher movies and substituted gory
mysticism. Instead of being a guilty pleasure, these movies
were like taking your medicine.
Halloween: The Return of Michael Myers is a return to
the slasher genre. Like all true slasher movies, it never
strays from the "slasher formula". As a critic. I feel that it
is my journalistic responsibility to divulge the "slasher for-
mula*. Here is the abbreviated version:
1. Have expository chaiicr about the secrets of boogcy-
man (in this case Michael Myers).
2. Find a way to get a character alone.
5. Send boogeyman alter the character.
4. Shock viewers by having a cat, ironing board, or
repairman jump out at them.
5. When audience recovers, send boogeyman at them
for real.
6. Repeat for 90 minutes.
The beauty of slasher mo\ies is that the audience
already knows the formula, and a movie is judged on it's
ability to throw the audience off. Rated on this scale
Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers is one of the best
in years. The camera angles are wonderfully tight and
claustrophobic, and there are three or four genuinely
scary surprises.
Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers even has an
excuse for it's incoherent plot. tXjnakI Pleasance died in
the middle of the filming, so for once it isn't the writers
fault that the story doesn't resolve properly.
If you really need something to efficiently and effective-
ly scare the pants off you. go out and see Halloween: The
Curse of Michael Myers. In these lean times, slasher
movies are few and far between. C+

Braves vs Rockies: First of all.
kudos to Colorado for making it this
far. but this is where the expansion
express gets derailed. Colorado's line-
up ttoasts some impressive statistics,
even if they are amplified by playing
at Coors Field. Kevin Ritz is the only
Rockie hurler with over 10 wins (his
record is 1111). and their team
ERA of 4.97 (6.17 at home) reflects
the fact that IX-nver is a hitter's city.
The Braves on the other hand have
baseball's best pitching, and I don't
care if ace Greg Maddux is pitching
underwater, he'd still be unhittable.
The Tomahawk Choppers have No. 2
and 5 starters that would be aces on
many othtT clubs (Glavinc 16-7. 5.08
and Smoltz 12-7. 5.18) and enough
hitting to put the Rockies away quickly.
Credit Colorado's offense with one
win in Denver, but that will be all she
wrote.
Prediction: Atlanta three games to
one.
Reds vs. Dodgers: The Dodgers
have one thing going for them. They
finished strong in a late season pen-
nant race with the RcKkies and have
some momentum. Their pitching is
solid with Ramon Martinez, Hideo
Nomo. Kevin Tapani and Ismael
Valdes. while Mike Piazza is by far
the best receiver in the game.
The Reds win using a balanced
attack. Barry Larkin. Reggie Sanders
and Ron Gant lead a potent lineup
that should give LA some trouble.
Their pitching has been effective as
well.
Pete Schourek won 18 games. John
Smiley has had an excellent season
and David Wells, when healthy, has
found a life away from Detroit.
This series should be a close one,
but Cincy's hitting advantage out-
weighs LA's slight pitching advan-
tage. Also, the homeneld advantage
actually means something when you
look at the Reds 44-28 record at
Riverfront.
Prediction: Cincinnati three games
to two
World Series: The Tribe beats up
on the wild card Yanks in six games,
and heads to south to start the scries.
The Braves pitching gets them by
Cincy in the second round, four
games to one. Maddux and co. now
have to get ready for the All
Native-American series, and the best
lineup in baseball.
As the old saying goes, good pilch
ing will beat good hitting every lime,
and it holds true this year.
The Braves, led by the best pitcher
of our generation, stifle the Cleveland
bats, and Chipper and the Crime Dog
figure out Orel Hershiser and Dennis
Martinez.
Holyoke native Mark Wohlers is
on the mound to close out the game
when the Braves finally clinch a

There is one thing however,

Hey... Do you want to know
why I like my friend Normie so much?
It's because he's a loser...
a big loser.
I say to myself... "at least I'm
not as bad as he is. '
So guess what?
He told me that's the same
reason he likes me so much.
Wow... we have the ultimate
reason to be friends... we feel sorry
for each other.

Chancellor Scott riding his bike through the

7. You get an invoice with every happy-meal.
6. Contrary to popular opinion, it has nothing
to do with the food at the DC.

ject to public inquiry two weeks prior to you
visit in order to get a transcript.
4. Mickey and Minnie Mouse usually entertain
while you wait in line.
3. It isn't a crack den.
2. If you throw a violent tantrum you can usual-
ly get to the front of the line.

"Get nd o« them?" On th« contrary, Mr Westford.
Because the geese hove tsegun to ne$t h«f«,
your pool has been declared a prolectad
wetland, requiring that no human activity
take place within ISO feel."

UMass can't keep up, falls to Rhode Island
By Chris Stamm
Collegian Stoff
One i)f the ke\ components of winning an athlet-
k conleM is tempt). Last night the Massachusetts
women's \olleybull team struggled in this depart-
ment, losing a four game battle to the University of
Rhode Island
This was a erucial match for the Minulewomen
as they entered the Cage 4-1 in Atlantic 10 play.
11-6 overall. The Rams were sitting on top of the
A- 10 with a 5-0 conference record. 12 > overall.
Trailing cki^e behind were George Washington and
Virginia Tech. each at 5-1 in conference play A

do it.
The Minuiewomen dropped game one of the
match 15 12. Massachusetts and the Rams were
deadlocked in a point for point battle. While
UMass played aggressively to win the side-out.
they just couldn't capitalize when they had posses-
sion.
Sophomore middle blocker Michelle Paciorek
was deadly up front, taking advantage of Rhode
Island''- inability to adjust to her left handed spik-
ing. Senior middle blixker Rachel Sky tripped up
the Ram's defense by slowing the ball down and
simply hilling it where they were not.
However, the URI defense was not completely
shut down The one -two blocking combination of
Carrie GangI and Kris Nomiandin seenii-d Wt siep
up play with each Massachusetts counter attack.
"We beat ourselves mentally, making unforced
errors, not making gcKxi shots at the nghl moment
and hitting into the bkn-k. 1 think we were a Ktter
team." Sky said
In game two. the Minuiewomen were clearly out
for revenge, winning 15 12 Again. Paciorek was
an offensive force for coach Bonnie Kenny's squad,
confusing the Rams as she had in the first set. tally-
ing 10 kills for the match. As in game one. Skv did

the game
During the second set. Kenny was given a yellow
card for arguing with the officials after a series of
questicinable calls.
The clutch player in this set was junior outside
hitler Oionne Nash who stepped up play in the
backcourt. keeping Massachusetts alive when they
needed it ihe most.
In addition to stepping up the defense. Nash
did her share up front as well tallying 1 5 kills for
the night, the second highest lor the squad.
When sophomore outside hitter Lesley Nolan
smashed the final point home on an ace. it
seemed as though UMass had the momentum on
their side.
Kenny's trtwps couldn't keep the up tempo for
game three as they dropped it 15-10. Again, it was
Sky and Paciorek leading the way for the
Minuiewomen. but they couldn't seem to keep
their tempo up and control the ball
"Our tempo fluctuated, sometimes we played
flat, stimelimes we were up." Sky remarked "We
dug ourselves into a hole and tried to get out. but it

NEW YORK - Don Mattingly
and the New York Yankees would
not be denied, despite the great-
ness of Ken Griffey jr.
The wild-card Yankees over-
came Griffey's two home runs and
beat the Seattle Mariners 9-6
Tuesday night in their AL playoff
opener. A standing, stomping
crowd of 57.178. the largest at
Yankee Stadium since it was
remodeled for the 1976 season,
saw David Cone pitch New York
to a t-0 lead in the best-of-5 series.
Mattingly, playing in the post-
season for the first time in his 14-
year career, delivered an RBI sin-
gle and a double. Playoff veterans
Wade Boggs and Ruben Sierra
both homered and Bernie
Williams doubled home the go-
ahead run during a four-run sev-
enth inning that made it 8-4.
Griffey went 3-for-5. drove in
three runs and scored three times

Kingdome. a victory that meant
ace Randy Johnson will not be
able to face the Yankees until
Game 5 at the earliest.
Seattle scored twice in the ninth
off John Wetleland before he
retired lay Buhner and Mike
Blowers with two runners on base
to end the game.
Griffey highlighted Seattle's
first postseason game with a solo
homer off the upper-deck facade
in the fourth inning and a long,
two-run homer in seventh that
tied it 4-4. His performance was
reminiscent of George Brett's
three home runs at Yankee
Stadium for Kansas City in a 6-5
loss to New York in Game 3 of
the 1978 AL playoffs.
Still, it was not enough to stop
the Yankees in their 35th year of
postseason play, most in the
majors, and first since 1981. New
York broke the 4-4 tie in the sev-
enth against loser |eff Nelson and
two other relievers, keyed by
Williams' RBI double and Sierra's
two-run homer. Williams singled
home another run in the eighth
with his third hit.

Powell, Magid take center stage in Myers absence
By JusHn C. Smith
Collegian Staff
.:Ar,.n LOtUCIAN
junior Amy Powell was solid in the middle of the
field during the absence of regular starter Rebecca
Myers.
On the road to any smt of successful season, there are
usually some bumps aking the way that must K- avoided.
When Rebecca Myers suffered a strained hamstring
three weeks ago in practice, the Massachusetts women's
soccer learn would be without the standout center half-
back for two to three weeks. Her kiss could have been a
stumbling block for the Minutewomen's post- season run.
"It could have been a disaster without Rebecca." junior
Amy Powell said. "Bui we all adjusli-d well and played our
game."
Powell, nomially a starter at a fiank halfback spot with
fellow junior lulie Magid on the other side, was inserted
into the middle of the field with the absence of Myers.
Powells style is a sharp contrast to that of the regular
starter in the middle of the UMass attack.
Myers was the leading point getter last season for the
Minuiewomen and plays an attacking, offensive style,
using her height (5~fiH)l 91 to her advantage. Powell and
Magid. who are used to playing on Myers side, are capable
scoring threats as they stand second and fourth on the
team in sciiring.
The difference in styles has affected the team according
to Massachusetts coach |iin Rudy.
"Amy plays it a bit more conservative." Rudy said. "She
docsn'l gamble as much as Rebecca does in the attack,
"Rebecca is a presence in the middle of the field with
her height, hut what we lost in the air and oflensive
attack, in return we got a high level of success controlling
the ball al midfield."
Powell, though improving every game, was not adept at
playing balls in the air as Myers was. and that is where
Magid's presence in the middle was felt most.
"lulie is quite effective in the air. " Rudy added. "The
percentage ot balls winning balls stayed the same."
Moving Powell into the middle with Magid did not con-
tuse the players in terms of playing styles. This is their
third year together on the field and that helped in know-
ing what each other was thinking.
"I like to attack on offense so normally lulie stays back
and covers the middle." Myers said.
"Now if lulie makes a run. I will stay back in support."
Powell added. "And if I make a run lulie covers. We com-
municate well "
With Ihe communication and different look that the
Minuiewomen shiiwed without Myers, they learned a lot
about themselves as well as bringing more players into the
game
"The way ihe two of them in the middle distributed the
ball around." Rudy commented. "It brought our outside
defenders. Nikki Ahrenholz and Erica Iverson, into the
play nuire.
"Liz Rutherford has benefited from the extra playing
lime and done a nice job for us. We had to leam how to
play without her."
Overall, in her absence the team went 3-1 with its only
loss coming to 14ih ranked William & Mary. UMass" first
game without Myers.
Her return over the weekend came from off of the
bench, but it seems she will make her first start since sil-
ling out uxlay. Myers had praise for her teammates who
had stepped it up in her absence, but was anxious to get
off the sidelines and onto the field.
"They covered it well," Myers said. "They really stepped
it up. I think they did an awesome job. I think they pretty
much completely dominated the middle of the field while I
was oul
"Bui I'm ready to gel back in there."

junior Julie Magid play in the air was a key contribu-

OJ. verdict angers
battered women
Ky KottMrine Websicf
Associated Press
BOSTON — A juror said
Wednesday ihe C). Simpson case
wasn't about domestic violence: it
was about murder.
luror Brenda Moran called the
prosecution's presentation of evi-
dence that Simpson haltered his
wife "a waste of time."
But battered women said
Simpson's acquittal just showed
that most people don't understand
or care about victims of domestic
violerwe.
"I'm speechless almost, that this
was brought oul into the public
and I thought we would have a
voice, and the public jusi doesn't
care." said one battered woman in
a telephone interview from a shel-
ter in Cambridge.
The acquittal left her and other
victims of domestic violence more
afraid than ever that their abusive
husbands or boyfriends could gel
away with murder.
"I already testified against my
abuser at one trial and he was
found not guilty." said a woman at
a shelter in Fall River, who also
spoke on condition of anonymity
"Maybe I should go back to him
and maybe I shouldn't testify
against him."
She said she did not trust the
courts or the police to protect her
'He said if I ever went back to
court he would kill me. and if he
didn't, one of his friends would
kill me." she said. "I'm fearful
when I'm with him ... but I'm
more fearful when I'm not with
him."
Shannon Booker, who served
six years in prison for killing her
abusive husband, said she was
numb after hearing the 0.|.
Simpson verdict.
"I don't know if he's guilty or not
guilty of the murder, but he's guilty
of beating on that woman. " Bcioker
said Tuesday, just after watching
Simpson's acquittal on television.
"We have women across the
nation that are sitting in prison for
defending their lives against their
batterers, and we have a victory
tcxlay? No. I don't think so." she
said.
Battered women and their advo-
cates said that whether or not
Simpson was guilty of murdering
his ex-wife, he was certainly guilty
of abusing his wife, who was
failed by the legal system and soci-
ety at large.
~0,|. Simpson was a batterer
who was not held fully account-
able for his use of violence and
threats — by a judge who allowed
counseling by phone, by police
who applied a double standard,
and by employers like Hertz and
NBC who ignored an arrest for a
violent crime," said Judy Rex.
head of the Vermont Network
Against Domestic Vic)lence and
Sexual Assault.
Simpson pleaded no contest to
spciustti abuse charges in a 1989
incident and was allowed to
receive counseling over the phone
— a decision District Attorney Gil
Carcelli called "a horrible joke"
after Simpson's arrest.
In the WestwixxJ neighborhood
of Los .Angeles, where Ms.
Simpson and her friend Ronald
Goldman were slain, an estimated
1 .500 people held a vigil Tuesday
night to protest the verdict in an
event organized by the National
Organization of Women.
They carried fiashlights. candles
and banners and chanted
"Guilty." "We remember Ron arul
Nicole." and "Slop the parly 0.|."
"I think this is a big message
telling us women and children are
not protected." said Ms
Simpson's sister. Denise Brown.
"You can rape, you can stalk, you
can kill and it's quite all right."
In Boston. Booker said she was
angry al the example Simpson set
for other black men.
"It's making it OK for our
young brothers to go oul there
and beat on women." she said.
Some advocates said battered
women should not be discouraged
from confronting their abusers in
court or seeking shelter, because
the jury's verdict was a cimdem-
nalion of racism and sloppy work
in the Los Angeles Police
Department — not a judgment on
domestic violence.
"Il would be devastating for
battered women ... to conclude
fK)m this acquittal that there is no
help for ihem and that there are
no sanctions for iheir batterers."
said Mary Trinity, executive direc-
tor of the Rhode Island Coalition
Against Domestic Violence.
Navratilova and Pallone
to discuss gays in sports
By AHlion Connolly
Collegian StcaH
Internationally renowned tennis
star Martina Navratilova and former
major league umpire Dave Pallone
will visit ihe University of
Massachusetts to conduct a dialogue
called "Fair Play: A Candid
Conversation." The speakers will dis-
cuss the social justice issues con-
fronting homosexual athletes by
drawing from their own careers.
Massachusetts professor Pat
Griffin will serve as moderator of the
event. An asscKiaie professor of edu-
cation. Griffin teaches graduate class-
es on social justice issues which con-
cern "-isms", like racism, sexism,
heterosexism.
The format of the forum will be an
informal conversation between
Navratilova and Pallone talking about
their own experiences as a lesbian
tennis player and a gay professional
baseball umpire.
"The discussion will range from
sexism to gender roles and gender
equity as well as touching on other
issues," Griffin said. "My hope is that
they'll not just be talking [within) the
sports context but really helping us
all understand how those issues
touch Ihe larger culture as well."
This is the first one of its kind for
Navratilova and Pallone. They are not
scheduled to speak at any other
schools as of yet. providing a "ground
breaking" event for Massachusetts,
Griffin said.
Last Spring, the Ch.incellor's office
put on a similar program featuring
Nobel Peace Prize winner Elic Weisel
and award-winning poet Maya
Angelou.
"The Chancellor's office is very
interested in sponsoring dialogues on
campus." Griffin said. "We're inter-
ested in continuing that sort of for-
mal for different siKial issues."
Speaking from experience
Dave Pallone's agent is the same
one who set up the dialogue last
spring. Spurred on by the success of
the first. Pallone asked friend
Navratilova if she would be interest-
ed in conducting a similar dialogue
with him. and she agreed.
One of the things Navratilova is
interested in doing, according lo
Griffin, is speaking to young people
in college and high school audiences
about her life and social justice
issues. In particular, she wants to be
a positive role model as an athlete
and a lesbian.
"I think it's also a lime in
Martina's career where she's making
a transition from being an active
competitor to figuring out what's
next in her life." Griffin said.
Griffin is in the midst of writing a
bcxjk on lesbians in sports. She con-
ducts workshops around the country
for different athletic departments on
the topic of homophobia in sports.
She is also involved in the
Massachusetts Safe Schcx>ls Program
for high school students.
The forum has been in the works
for some time now. A committee has
been meeting since the summer to
organize the event. Griffin said she
was more than pleased when Deputy
Chancellor Marcellette Williams
asked her lo moderate the discussion.
"I think it's going to be an exciting
event," Griffin said. "Martina is a leg-
end. She's one of the few people that
when you say her first name, every-
bcxly knows immediately who you are

Skin Deep tries to blur racial lines
By Grogofy Cosimir
CoUegian Staff
The .Monday premiere of the docu-
mentary. Skin Deep in .Mahar
Auditorium is one step in Chancellor
David K, Scott's promise to plan a
series of events geared towards less-
ening campus discrimination
Al the beginning of the academic
school year. Scott issued a memo in
which he emphasized a continued
commitment towards creating a
school environment where the stu-
dents would be respected, no matter
whal iheir individual race, color or
creed may be.
Skin Deep was directed and pro-
duced by Frances Reid. Academy
Award nominee and winner of ihe
Black Filmmaker's Hall of Fame
Award. During Reid's 20-year career
as a filmmaker, she has become
known for her provocative films
about social situations and injustices
In 1992. she received the Black
Filmmaker's Award for her video.
The h'aies of AIDS, a documentary
about the impact of AIDS in Africa.
Later in 1994. she received an
Academy Award nomination for her
work. Straight From the Heart, a
documentary about parents trying to
understand their children's homo-
sexuality
UMass makes the film
The premiere of the movie was met
with great anticipation al the
University of Massachusetts because
the school was the first chosen by
Reid for the research Ihal spanned
four colleges
During the opening presentation.
Bailey lackson. Dean of the School of
Fxlucalion spoke of. "the need lo have
conversations about racial issues "
"We have to lake a moment and try
to push against our racial prejudices."
he said.
When Reid was introduced, she
was greeted with warm applause
Her first remarks centered around
explaining her reasons for making
such an important film
"Making this film was a way to
communicate about race." said Reid
"Communication is ihe only way to
solve the problem. Today there is a
paradox between the need for inte
gration versus self-definition."
Students ofTer feedback
The two University students who
participated in making the film. Brian
Allen and Marc Mazzonc. were also
present at the premiere. After the film
was shown, both spoke about what
iheir participation the film meant to
ihem.
Allen, who graduated last year,
said there was a sense of urgency
and responsibility lied to the pro-
ject.
"I tried not to think about it."
Allen said "I had to do il because
there is a differenve between living
and surviving Right now blacks are
jusi surviving If blacks fall, all other
people will be affected."
Senior communications major
Mazzone said he was overwhelmed
by the entire experience.
"It was shell shock," he said "I w.r
used to one way of life and when I
took part of this project, il was like
gelling slapped in the face with reali
ly. There was no television or radio.
Il was nothing but people and dia-
logue ... it was a rollercoasier.
Emotions built up People wanted to
fight, cry and hold hands "
Reid said she fell the need to
make Skin Deep because of her
involvement in the Civil Rights
movement in the I9fe0s. She
described herself as an "unabashed
integralionist "
"I feel it's been so long the assump-
tion thai only people of color should
open up conversation about race."
Reid said "While people have a
responsibility as well to open up dis-
cussions."
After the showing of the movie,
discussion groups were f»eld in Herler
Hall and in the School of
Management to get some student
reactions to the film.
Rick Townes, vice chancellor' for
Student Activities, commented on what
impa-ssed him tfie most about the film
"The release of emotions was com-
pelling," he said. "It look energy lo
contain my own angry emotions. I

Not all UM buildings handicap accessible
By Amy H. farodytz
Collegion Slaff
Continuing Flducation student Alicia McDunna
wants to go to the Stonewall Center, but a curb
and a few stairs are in her way
McDunna is one of 15 students who have lo gel
around the University of Massachusetts campus,
which is considered lo be handicapped accessible,
in a wheelchair.
Although the University adheres lo the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADAi divjbled
•mCCA ItTldSON/CCHlfCIAN

students have to wait for assistance when using
freight elevators in buildings - such as the Fine
Arts Center — which are considered to be handi-
capped accessible. Also, "people in chairs." as
McDunna calls them, often find locked bicycles
blocking ramps to buildings that otherwise would
be accessible.
Other places, such as the Stonewall Center, are
just plain inaccessible.
"There's no way for the person to gel up there
unless they get picked up and carried, and then the
chair gets carried." said lulie Kazniarek. a graduate
student who befriended McDunna after they met at
Rao's Coffeehouse downtown.
McDunna. who describes herself as an indepen
dent person, made a complaint lo Housing Services
and Physical Plant about the curb and step five
weeks ago.
However, the ADA does not always apply lo
existing facilities. Cranipton was built in the late
1960s, before the legislation was passed.
"The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
requires public accommodations lo remove archi
tectural and communications barriers (including
barriers which are structural in nature) in existing
facilities if such removal is "readily achievable."
according to ADA Guidelines. Cost and safely are
factors in whal is considered "readily achievable."
"Such decisions must be made on a case-by -case
basis."
A discouraged sports fan
Christina Ziz.z.a, a junior political science majoi
employed by Disabilities Services, transferred here
from Northeastern University two and a half
years ago.
"The difference between that University and ihi-.
University, in terms of accommodation, is like
night and day." she said. "The University is opeial
ing under ADA guidelines."
For example, Zizza is pleased that it only takes a
day or --o lo gel her classes changed to accessible
buildings. At Northeastern, however, it look a
week or more
Also, she lives in an accessible residence hall that
houses nine students with wheelchairs
Bui there are difficulties, nonetheless.
When /izz4i goes lo the Curry Hicks Cage to get
a ticket for UMass sporting events at the Mullins
Center, she is given a "student" ticket But she

the handicapped sealing area, until a Mullins
Center employee lelK her that those scuts belong to
M'ason'v ticket holder'-. The ticket vendors said she
must talk to someone al the Mullins Center.
Also, Zizza IS involved with the Peer Mentor
Network, a registered student (irgani/.alion. but she
has never been to the office which is on the second
flt>or of the Student Union.
"I have not. as of yet. been able to get a key,"
Zizz.a said. There's an office in the Campus Center
that has ihe keys, but she said they were closed
every lime she WenI there.
"I have been on this campus two years and I've
never seen the upstairs of the Student Union,"

Obstacles and independence
"I'm finding this campus to be much more acces-

McDunna, who i^ a quadriplegic.
Still, '■he and her friend Kazmarek. who is not

Tale of two accents fails to amuse Senator Bob Dole;
Gramm s New Hampshire comment draws GOP heat
WASHINGTON (AP) — What's in
an accent?
A campaign issue, if you believe
Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole.
Dole's camp fired off an indignant
press release chiding GOP presiden-
tial rival Phil Gramm for saying that
folks in the leadoff primary state of
New Hampshire "talk funny."
The Texas senator often contrasts
his twang with a New England accent
in stressing that he agrees with New
Hampshire residents on the fundamc-n-
fal issues even if they talk differently.
Speaking in that vein during an
appearance Monday on CNN's
"Inside Politics." Gramm said the
"people of New Hampshire talk funny
and therefore they think I talk funny."
Dole's campaign quickly issued a
statement in which Rep. Bill Zcliff
(R N.H). said Gramm's cimiinent
was "an insult to New ffampshire "
"We may sound funny lo Phil
Gramm. but here in New Hampshire
our traditions are no laughing mat
ter," Zeliff said, and demanded "a
Texas-size apology "
No way. said Gramm spokesman
Gary KiK)ps. He said Gramm''- com
meni was an example of his "self-
deprecating humor" and called the
criticism a "silly tactic to cloud
Dole'"- backpedaling on tax cuts."
(iramm has been pounding Dole
for suggesting Sunday that the Senate
might not be able lo reach its goal of
$245 billion in tax cuts. On Monday,
Dole reaffirmed that $245 billion
over seven years was his goal.

One in three black men in jail
Recent .stKciv shinvs dramatic increase in sentencing
By Connie Cass
Aisocioted Press
WASHINGTON — .Almost one in every three young
black men is serving a criminal sentence — either prison,
probation or parole, according lo a study by an advocacy
group.
That's a dramatic increase from five years earlier, when
the proponion was one in four.
The statistics releasc-d Wednesday are sure lo fuel argu
ments about whether blacks are treated fairly by the crim-
inal justice system — a theme that permeated the O.j.
Simpson trial. It also is an issue cited by organizers of a
national black men's march lor unity and atonement.
"If one in three young white men were under criminal
justice supervision, the nation would declare a national
emergency." said Marc Mauet. coauthor of the study by
The Sentencing Project, a research group that supports
alternatives to prison.
The repc>rt argues that the mandatory minimum sen-
tences and stepped up cnloieeinent that began with the
1980s "war on drugs" have lallen dispiopc>rtionately on
blacks and women.
The rc|>ort says that explains why blacks accounted for
24 percent of all drug artesis in 1980. but the figure
climbed to 59 percent in 1995
Blacks make up 12 percent ol the U.S. [xipulalion. ,A
lusiice Department spokesman. John Russell, said the
department "has no quarrel" with the report's numbers.
But he disputed the suggestion that blacks arc more
likely lo be prosecuted under federal drug laws than
whites accused of the same ollensc.
'Hie numlxrs. said Russell, probably "rellect the social
and economic factors that have a disproportionate effect
on the .African American community."
Black leaders supp^>rting the Oct 16 march planned by
Nation of Islam leader Louis lairakhan. and those who
oppose il. base been uniu.l in ilei l.nin- .i iiisi* of bkick
men.
"The figures in our report are evidence of that crisis,"
Mauer said.
Using U.S. justice Department statistics, the report esti-
mates that on any given day this year. 52 percent of black
men ages 20 to 29 are serving a criminal sentence.
That's 827.400 young black men in jail or prison, or on
probation or parole. It doesn't include those who arc
awaiting trial or who served time before they turned 20.
The estimate was based on 1994 figures, which show
50.2 percent of young black men serving criminal sen-
tences last year, compared with 6.7 percent of young
white men.
Among black women, the figure was 4.8 percent, and
among white women. 1.4 percent.
Although the women's convictions remain much less
frequent than men's. thc7 have been growing at a faster
rate since the 1989 report.
The number of young black women under criminal jus-
tice superyision increased 78 percent by 1994; 40 percent
more while women are serving sentences. Black men
doing time increased 51 percent, and white men 8 per-
cent.
It's unclear how closely the changes reflect an increase
in crime among the dillerent demographic groups.
The report locuscs almost entirely on blacks, though il
dc>es note that rates lor both Hispanic men and women
increased 18 percent. In 1994. 12,5 percent of young
Hispanic men and 2.2 [vrceni ol Hispanic women were
under crimin.il su|X'r\ision.
I vr many black men. the statistics hack up a conviction
that |xilice and courts don't dispense equal justice for
black Americans.
They cite the beating ol Rodney King ami the racial epi-
thets of former Los .Angeles police detective Mark
Fuhrman that surlaced during the Simpson trial.
'The only thing unique alxiut Rodney King is ihere was
camera." said Joseph I owery. president of the Southern
Chrisiiun leadership Conference. "The cmly thing unique
alxiul Mark Fuhrman is there was a tape recorder."

More women found
on corporate
boards
A Sept. 28 New York Times arti-
cle said a growing number of
women are joining corporate
boards and about a third of the
nation's largest companies now
have more than one female direc-
tor.
Catalyst, a nonprofit consulting
and research group, said despite
the growth in their numbers,
women directors hold only 9.5
percent of the 6, 274 corporate
board seats. This was up from 8.7
percent last year and 8. J percent
in 1993.
Sheila Wellington, president of
Catalyst, said the perception that
there are not enough qualitied
women in business still exists.
Catalyst, which works with
business to effect change for
women, first conducted the sur-
vey of directors in 1977, when
there were 46 women serving on
boards. Statistics were not col-
lected again until 1993.
NAACP chairman
to register new
black voters
Myrlie Evcrs-Williams, chair-
woman of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, was in
lackson, Mississippi this past
weekend. Her goal was to
attempt to kick off a nationwide
drive by the NAACP by register-
ing one million new black voters
in time for the 1996 elections.
According to figures compiled
by the Census Bureau, black
turnout in the 1994 elections
declined by about 2 percent
compared with the last midterm
elections in 1990. The bureau's
numbers also show a hefty
decline ol 21 percent among vot-
ers with yearly incomes of less
than J 15,000. Both groups have
traditionally voted Democratic
and the low turnout was consid-
ered a major factor in the
Republican sweep last year.
NAACP officials say they hope
mobilizing black voters and
Increasing turnout will help rest
the House from Republican con-
trol or force it away from its cur-
rent right- veering path.
If mobilizing black voters is, as
Evers-Williams asserts and the
New York Timei reported, crucial
in stemming the conservative
tide, it is also perhaps the only
way for the NAACP to regain
stature and demonstrate that it is
still relevant after the last two
years of turmoil.
It was in Jackson, Miss, that
Evers-Williams's first husband,
the civil rights leader Medgar
Evans, was murdered.
Evers-Williams' goal to round up
black voters by a white suprema-
cist in the Ever's front yard in
1963.
If it seems ambitious, it is she
maintains, crucial both for blacks
and for her still-beleaguered civil
rights organization, said the
Times.
"We don't seem to know what
power is all about. And, as others
have said here today, if we don't
use what we have, then we
deserve what we get,"
Evers-Williams said
Bill to insure 48-hour
maternity stays
Senator Bill Bradley, from New
lersey, is attempting to force
health insures to pay for at least
48 hours of hospital care for new-
born babies and their mother.
In the last two v/eeks alone,
Bradley's office has received more
than 10,000 forms pnnted in the
October issue of Good
Housekeeping magazine, which
were clipped and sent by readers
to show support for the new-
born's and mother's health pro-
tection bill, something he initiat-
ed and is co- sponsoring with
Senator Nancy Landon
Kassenbaum, a Republican of
Kansas.

From hardship to triumph
Navralilova ilelected liom her native
Czechoslovakia, coming to the L'niles States on her
c)wn to become a citizen while leaving family and
friends behind
Since then, her It? I career singles titles oulnum
ber those ol any male or female tennis plaver. She
won six straight Grand Slam titles from 19t>>
Wimbledon to l^i!4 U.S. Open. In 1991. she
bcx-ame the oldest female finalist in U.S. Open his-
tory. Her 18 Grand Slam singles titles make her
third among all female players.
Griffin points to .\avratilova's triumph over
hardships that has made her an inspiration to all
athletes.
"I think it's a really worthwhile opportunity to
hear .someone who has an incredible personal histo-
ry." Griffin said. "She's always been an important
role model lor all women in sports
"Martina has always been outspoken. She is not a
person who minces words. We are looking forward
lo a very frank and open discussion on a wide range
of issues."
Griffin hopes .Navralilova will talk about her
famous rivalry with Chris Everett Lloyd.
"Chris represented the ultimate image of feminity
and hetcrose)iuality and she was a terrific athlete."
Griffin said. "Martina was a different kind of ath-
lete because she was a lesbian and she doesn't rep-
movie
resent what we think of as a traditionally leim
nine-looking woman. She's very strong - looking
and in fact revolulioiiized women's tennis because
she went on a training schedule that was far beyond
what most women professionals have ever done
before. She completely elevated the game through
her own excellence."
Pallone cxperiencetl similar obstacles in his life
•time. He was ostracized by other umpires for cross
ing the picket lines from the minor leagues during a
major league umpire strike. Pallone may also be
remembered for his 19Ki> stand-off with Pete Rose,
which led to rose's >0 day suspension and
Pallone's loss of a World Series assignment.
He was later forced lo resign as a National
League umpire after it Ix'came known that he was
gay. Pallone has written a book. "Behind the
Mask." which describes the double life he leil in
baseball.
"In his 10-year careei in the major leagues, he
showed a lot of cou^aJ^• in sticking with it." Grillln siiid.
Upon purchasing their tickets. (K-ople were invit-
ed to submit questions that would help to identify
themes for the discussion. The questions will be
proposed by Griffin after the conversation.
"They both have some interesting stories to tell
about their experiences being gay and lesbian in
professional sports."
The forum will be held on Oct. 1 1. Tickets are

experience.
The students featured in the film
included Italian- Americans, latinos.
Native Americans.
African-Americans and
Vietnamese-Americans. F^ch partici-
pant defended different positions.
In the first day of the weekend
conference, tensions were high. The
students discussed their most person-
al feelings and views about what il is
like to experience racism and preju-
dice on a first hand basis.
Students got together to break
down some of the stereotypes that
exist about different ethnic guiups. In
one exercise they vocalized what they
wanted the group to know.
Some of the students corrected
common stereotypes.
"I want you to know that Latinos
join gangs because they are not
taught history." and "I want you to
know that not all Asians are quiet.'
said students in the film.
As the workshop continuc-d. white
students got together lo discuss their
leelings about the conference. Many
fell that ihey were being attacked
personally for some of the prejudice
the other students had endured over
the course of their lives.
Another issue discussed in the film
was the pressure students of mixed
cultures felt about choosing between
two heritages. For example, two stu
dents, both of mixed diveni. felt that
they did not want to have to choose
between carrying two different pass-
ports, they wanted to carry both.
One UMass student involved in the
conference. Marc Mazzone. had a dif-
ficult lime dealing with prejudice
within his own traditional Italian
family. Mazzone who had joined a
gospel choir prior lo the workshop,
was afraid to lell his father that fie
had joined the choir because it was
predominantly black.

Allen, another UMass studeni fell
"there were not a lot ol minorities"

halls belore the conference.
One black student gave an exam
pie ol how African Americans are
all lumped together when something
negative occurs. "When one black
person does something, we ail suf-
fer." he said.
Towards the end of the three day
conference, everyone learned to gel
past colors, races, stereotypes and
were able lo talk openly about their
experiences without fear of offending
each other.
"In order lo change anything life
has to become a have to.' In other
words, we have lo interact. Don't
believe in stereotypes, blacks aren't
niggers. Asians don'l study all the
time and Indians aren't drunks." said
Allen. "One of the major problems is
that people Iry to ignore ethnicity. If
you have a question just ask.'

Pre-packaged blackness
Patrick
Belizaire
Do you often gel a hard lime b> black people who
are assuming thai you are trying to be black'' Well
if you do. let me try and shed some light as to why
this happens. First off. I would like to say these reasons I
am about to present are my own views and opinions,
based on observing, interlining, conversing with others
and my experiences as a black persc^n. I am not repre-ent
ing the views of any race, including my own.
I spoke to a young lady in my dorm who said while sil-
ting in a classroom (before the class officiallv stanedi she
was harassed by a young black woman. The voung white
lady told me the young black woman said.
"why are you trying to be black, bitch you
can never be black " To say the least, the
young white wvman was terrified.
The young white lady asked me why was
she being harassed for her stvle and the
way she is. I told her it all came from what she wa- wear-
ing and possibly the way she was talking. She wa> wearing
symbolized evpressicms of blackness in her urban *tyle
dressing and she was giving off the indication that ^he
was trying to be something she is not.
First off. let's analyze what is considered black in the
fashion industry Nothing. '\es. certain styles of clothing
and the way they are worn are embodied b\ blacks, partic-
ularly urban blacks. Styles of clothing often come from
one's geographic IcKation and an assessment of what i*
being shown on television and music videos Blacks do
wear their clothes a certain way. but not all blacks wear
their clothes like this, and too often these styles follow
stereolype>.
People think if they wear their pants hanging half way
down their ass. with Timberland boots untied, walking
with a strut or a swagger and speaking slang, (which often
sounds like they are mocking someone) thev are emK>dv
ing something that is black
In actuality, they are not They are embracing the
stereotypes of what black is The above description iv not
what black is and speaking in fragmented sentences is not
what black is.
There is no problem in someone enjoying what another
culture has to offer, and we. in this society, do not do that
enough. I think those who portray the siigmatisni of black
stereotype-, are truly mislead The reason I think a lot of
black individuals may react with discontent at those who
uphold these stereotypes i> because it is not easy to be
black in this society. So when people, who are noi black,
try lo dres> "black" and talk "black." (and some even
think ihev are black) it is an insult lo black people, and it
is up>etiing a< wt-^l
It i> upsetting because tho-.e people who do the above
art saying ihi- |c what K-ing black i>: it is simple and easy.
hut it isn't. .Another reason >ienis from the
tact that it feels like a mockery. Being
black In this siKiety is a task in itself, so if
a person, who is not black, wants to be
black, then thev should get the brunt of
everything that goes with being black — all
the pain, all the anger and all the negative stereotypes that
is enough lo drive one insane
They must learn what it Is like lo try and maintain their
sanity everyday ot their life. They must question everyday
"why am I here putting up with this, and wh\ is this
world such an awtui place " I do not think lhei-e is one
day I wake up and there is not something which invokes
out of nie the reminder that I am a black man in
America
When Arthur Ashe, ihe black tennis plaver who won
Wimbledon and numerous other tournaments, was asked
"was finding out vou were dying of AIDS the most diffi-
cull issue vou ever had to deal wilh^" he answered "no.
being a black man in America is the most difficult issue I
ever had U' deal with "
People s iJM-s are not easy especially if one is black.
Being black almoM certainly guarantees you a struggle, if
nv>thing else in this life. To say that one who is not black
knows the black evperience is iii sjmplity our struggles.
^es. everyone's evperience is unique within itself, but
when it comes to being black we all share something that
bounds us together in the most profound meaning of the
word

A new way to create a Utopia
A couple of days ago. I was
watching the Discovery
channel Most of the pro-
gram that was on dealt with the
evils mankind has inflicted on
nature and the dire consequences
that will be paid by the entire
human race if we don't change
some of our environmental poli-
cies. Overall, the show was inter-
. esting and it achieved its end
effectively — I was full of guilt
being a human being.
Damnable corporations which I
have probably given money to at
some point in m\ life were com-
pletely destroying plant and ani-
mal life in what used to be fenile
regions in Africa. Even now. at
this very moment, trees are being
chopped down, and human and
animal life is being forced into liv-
ing in poor, unnatural conditions
So many different people have
ideas about what can be done to
correct the ecological problems
we have created for ourselves
thai it seems as if it is now diffi-
cult for anyone to figure out the
true solution. There are just too
many conflicting ideas and vari-
ables surrounding environmental
issues. Parallel to this is the fact
the problems we have created in
the environment itself are also so
full of variables and questions
that no one can really be an
expert.
Recently, though. I have come
up with some of my own ideas.
Often, the solutions people have,
for any issue, only put a band-aid
on the problem and not the cause
of the problem. People think the
big businesses that are chopping
down the trees are the ones at
fault. Other people think there
aren't enough laws governing
these businesses. Still, others
blame it on a complete lack of an
environmental code of ethics.
After all. isn't that at the root of
all human (or at least American)
problems — a twisted lack of
ethics in just a few of the people
who hold the power'' Lately, it
seems many Americans have
come to this realization.
So here are some of my ideas:
Most of the problems we deal
lo the environment can be traced
back lo overpopulation. Right
now. the world is on the road to
becoming completely overpopu-
lated to the point where there will
simply be too many people for the
earth lo feed. There will be mass
starvation around the globe and
the comfort of life will signifi
cantly drop in each corner of
every continent.
So, we can start a few new poli-
cies in America to prevent this
from happening
First, everyone who reaches the
age of 65 should not iMil) retire,
but be summarily put to death. It
can be made sure thev have all the
comforts that mass funerals can
provide, such as comfiTiahle
grave-ditches Fventuallv. the t^Sih
birthday of a family member would
become a dav of revelry, dancing
and wine consumption.
So many different people
have ideas about what can
be done to correct the eco-
logical problems ue have
created for ourselves that it
seems as if it is now difft-
cuU for anyone to figure out
the true solution. There are
just too many conflicting
ideas and variables sur-
rounding environmental
issues. Parallel to this is the
fact the problems we have
created in the environment
itself are also so full of vari-
ables and questions that no
one can really be an expert.

Second, there should he a dailv
life lottery. Everyone In the upper
class, all the rich and overly
wealthy people will automatically
be entered in the lottery . and if you
win. you are executed, no ques-
tions asked. This will barelv help lo
cut down on the population density
among the rich, yel should keep
the middle class happv
Which brings me lo niv next
idea. The middle class now
becomes the well to-do lower
class (and the only other class to
worry about) because there will be
no lower class in the United Stales
anymore All of them will be com
plelely wiped out.
Legalize all drugs and promote
the harder and more lethal drugs,
like crack and heroin. The govern-
ment can then get Invtilved in the
drug trade between Cuba and some
of the other Ceniral American
drug-suppliers, trading military
hardware for drugs, thus enriching
the economy.
Legalize all semi-automatic
and full-automatic weapons, and
sell them out of liquor stynds on
every store In the ghettos of
America. Also, sell those
rhino-killing bullets, along with
grenades and other destructive
weaponry.
Now. all the country would have
to do is sit back, wait a few months
(maybe a year), then move back
into these ghettos. Kill anv strag-
glers that might be hanging
around, then kncvk down or other-
wise destroy every remaining build-
ing to make room for brand nev*
multiplex developments. Then,
some ol the now very rich "lower
class" can move out of the crowd-
ed suburban areas and into those
newlv renovated ex ghettos.
After that, the government
should work to promote homosex-
uality In the education curriculums
of all schools, starting at the ele-
mentary school level. Graduallv.
good heterosexual values would
become foreign and strange while
homosexualilv would become the
saving grace of humanity through
their natural melhi)ds of un-pro-
creation.
All of the major religions should
alter their basic orthcxioxies to fit
these new lifestyles. For a year,
every fifth religious heterosexual
should be crucified live on televi-
sion, to serve as an example tc>
others.
Now. once the population of
America has thinned out. good
things will begin to happen.
Diseases and poor living condi-
tions will become a thing of the
past, because no longer is there
overcrowding in any area of the
country. The economic system will
flourish, and with the new power
that the revitalized United States
has behind it. it can start building
up a massive air force.
With this air force, we can then
carpet-bomb those Central
American countries and Cubans
who sold us drugs, effectively wip-
ing out thai business. We can then
turn our attentions to the rest of
the world and completely destroy
all lite in those countries or places
no one really cares about.
Greenland and Canada would
come first, then Australia, the
Philippines. Madagascar. India
(put all those poor people out of
their misery, once and for all) and
most of Russia. Both of the polar
regions should go as well, so ihe
liskimos don't feel left out. then a
few select areas in Eastern Europe
and Central. Eastern and
Northern Africa.
After enough room is made for
the remaining Inhabitants of the
earth, we can clear out the dead,
reconstruct all the bombed areas,
plant some trees, restock the
rivers with fish and do all the
pleasant things thai would revital-
ize the planet's ecology. Humans
would then be at peace with the
global environment and every
form of animal and plant life
would prosper.

ou giitia' be kidding me,"
I said in a burst of laugh-
ter.
I was on the phone writh my father,
and we were swapping laundry sto-
ries. I told him I spent an obscene
amount of money lo do wash, and he
then told me his laundry tale.
""I was washing my clothes the

realized I have . .Ange. guess how

"I don't know. Dad Knowing you.

Mv father laughs "I have 22

different ones."
I didn't laugh. "You're serious ..."
"Yes. And I have two pairs of
pants."
This time. I can't help but laugh,
because I am disgusted even more
than I was when I realized he had
almost a quarter ccntiicy of the same

My father and I went out lo lunch
one day this suminer. I asked him for

"Big sale at Douglas Drug, my
father said with a proud smije. "Can't
go wrong."
There It is.
And as he revealed to me his
apparent mild obsession for breath
mints. I knew li wasn't just the Certs
that got niv lather all jacked up. He's
done this with shamptni. there'd be a
sale on Suave and he purchases just
too many bottles. He even tried to
water It di>wn so that he trulv stretch
it.
And pencils, those mechanical
ones'.' He's been supplying me
with those since mv sophomore
year in high school and all of
those he and I have used over the
past five years was from the same
sale.
If there was a personal bki on my
father, ltd read. ""Likes: big sales.
Sunday newspapers (for coupons).
Building 1<). Ocean State (ob Lot.
buffets Dislikes: regular prices,
newspapers from .Monday through
Saturday (for not having coupons),
any department store that doesn't
have a sale on men's clothes, expen-
sive one plate dinners with little on
the plate."
M> father is not alone. I know
some of his bargain charisma has fil-
tered Into my head. I did buy 24
Ramens al the market, because they
were six for a dollar. In the same
boat as "Cert Mania," I did buy a
box of 24 packages of Austin peanut
butter crackers, with six in each
pack. I have bought more pairs of
underwear than I need, so I don't
have lo do as many washes.
I mean, what is too much?
Maybe it ij quantity. My buddy
thinks there is nothing better than a
buflet. and he's hit every one in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Hej( the sam«, guy who brought up
all mI Kis Pitiyboys to school. Not
just one 111 look at. or a few to slob-
ber all ovet. He brought a crate
full.
As for myself I brought all of my
CDs I listen to. at the most, 20 of
"em. yet I brought over a 100. You
know, if I ever get a Vanilla Ice
craving, or I want lo break out my
ol' Cavaricci-imitation baggy pants
and cut up some rug to M.C.
Hammer. I am able to. The
near-complete collection of Poison
CDs comes In handy just as much as
that Sept. of 1482 Playboy issue
does for my buddy, or that fifth pink
short-sleeved button down shirt
does for my Dad.
It's either getting a good deal, or
having something just in case. WTiat
it cimies down to is a matter of quan-
tity. That "you can never have too
much of a giKxl thing" phrase?
Try telling that to my father at a
clearance sale.

Being a victim of segregation
David
Chan
ou have the Asians, the Latinos, the Blacks and
other racial minority groups on the campus. Vou
have the Vietnamese, the Koreans, the Chinese,
etc. You have the Puerto Ricans. the Mexicans, etc. You
have the African- Americans, the Africans, the Pacific
Islanders, etc. This University is racially segregated.
You can see the line between black and white, hear the
language barriers and feel the fears around you. Is there a
clear reason why this is so prevalent in this Liniversity? In
our pursuit cif mulliculluralism. we have actually segregat-
ed ourselves from each other in this process.
Let's paint a common picture of this
University, If Simon were to walk into a
peak public gathering area of our caliipus.
let's say the Worcester Dining Commons.
and say. "Simon says anyone who is not sit-
ting at a table with people of his/her own
race, please move and do so." How many people would
have to move?
Not many. It is like blotches of different colors on a
large white canvas.
Is this what we want? As multicultural as this
University likes lo boast, places like the dining commons
reveals an awakening contrast. What are the causes (hat
make these invisible dividers so visible? I don't know
why. but I can make some guesses.
Well, there are some who just don't like lo associate
with groups outside their ethnic group. So is it an ethnic
pride thing, "my people are better than your people." Or
is it peer pressure. "Yo. why were you sitting with them?
WTiy do you talk to them so much^" Could it be because
of their parents and their upbringing?
That's a sad reason because after 12 years of schooling.
Mommy and Daddy still pick their friends for them. Some
people may have been victims of racism in the past. "A
big groijp of Blacks scare me. Linik at that ugly and goofy
group of Asians. ■■ Sound pretty shallow?
Maybf it's the language barriers. But are there any real
barriers at all'.' Most students of various ethnic back
grounds are not restricted to their own native language. In
fact, for many of them. it"s not even the language they
speak best.
But nevertheless, many of them choose to exclusively
surround themselves with their fellow brothers and si-i-
lers. And on the Hipside. people are afraid to talk to
them. "But you just can't approach someone. Maybe I feel
uncomfortable. If I try to hang out with them, would they
laugh in my lace?"
I can't answer for everybodv. but as we all know you'll
never know unless you try. When you hang out with a
group of Asians or Blacks, do you think to yourself "I'm
hanging out with some of my Asian/Black friends. " Can it
just be "I m hanging out with these people because I think
they re cikiI ... we're friends."
A (riond of mine gave me another possible theory of the
cause of segregation. He calls it the
"Hungry Hungry Hippo Theory." It's just
like the classic game we all played. You
have several different colored hippos trying
to grab as much of the riches and funds of
our campus. He compared the hippos to
the ethnic Registered Students Organizations of the cam-
pus.
Everybody is out for themselves thus fostering tension
and animosity between groups. Could this be a cause'' Is
11 possible to have just an organization for everybody'' An
organization thai would help anybody who wants it?
What can segregation be a product of? Maybe it's
because wcmo labeled fion, the start by college adminis-
tration. When you till luit that application, vou are asked
to check a label. Did vou cimie in here thinking. "I didn't
get any Imancial aid because I'm while." Or on the flip-
side. I got hooked up with aid big lime because I'm a
minority.
It's nothing lo blame each other for. International stu-
dents can not leceive financial aid anyway. But besides
that. It would be shallow to blame groups of people for
what administration chiK>ses lo do. Most minorities don't
approve ol allinnalive action anyway. It hurts more than
It helps now.
But thete are ihe piiMieers out there. There are the indi-
viduals that are color blind and possess no fears. They
don I know eveiy language either. You don't have to. In
simplistic lemis. they're merely hanging out with friends.
Vu,''^ i* ''' "■ "'" '"""'' "' •'''■•''' "*" ethnicity, it's
probably they're proud of the opportunities they have to
just meet people Sound corny? So is segregation

Venting on this week's shows
Checking out television this week, I realized that there that the writers are still on summer hiatus with minor
is a morbid fascination with all things bloody and violent details just slipping by Last season's cllffhanger ended
NBC led the pack with the "based on a true story" movie. with Kimberly (Marcia Cross) blowing up the apartment
"Fight For justice: The Nancy Conn Story,
lust imagine a deranged Doug Savant (yes.
that Doug Savant from "Melrose Place")
biting his fingernails until they bleed and
you'll get the general idea.
In a departure from his usual nice-guy
character on "Melrose Place," Savant
played a murderer who kidnaps, assaults
and tortures two women and then leaves
them for dead. Marilu Henner portrayed
Nancy Conn, who survives the vicious
attack to bring her assailant to justice.
Speaking of general craziness and viciousness, hop on
over to FOX and take a look at "Melrose Place." It seems
complex. All of the residents miraculously
escaped without major injuries (if you
don't count Allison's blindness which last-
ed all of two episodes). And then there was
lake's fall from a ten-story building. It bog-
gles the mind how Jake can walk away

The Pioneer Valley J^ J
music, education and
what most people don'
is also a haven f
By Marni E. Helfner
Collegian Staff
The Pioneer Valley is famous for many
things, but one seldonn talked about is poetry
and poets. I I 6 (I I >'
Sure, most people would expect that an
area with four colleges and a university
would have tons of poets and a wealth of
poetry, but most people don't know
what it is or where to look for it.
As far back as the 19th century,
Amherst has had a history of poetry
Emily Dickinson and other local
poets planted the first seeds of
stately verse. Dickinson wrote nx>re
than 1 ,700 poems in her lifetime, but onfy pub
lished seven. jfts^&m
Coming into the 20th centui^ oSwrferslty of
Massachusetts has become a place where poetry and
poets can prolificate. From GMass professors who do
double duty as poets and professors to the multitude of
Journals for students to publish in, the growth of poetry
in the Valley has increased each year.
Even though most people don't fecognize it, poetry
is part of everyday lives. In songs, TV commercials
and rap, the art of poetry as an oral art form can be
found anywhere. Students can also enjoy the oral art
form from professors and \ocaA poet read-
ings in Amherst. Plenty of places
In Amherst and Northampton offer
budding poets the opportunity to
read at poetry slams and open mike
readings.
Whether one looks for poetry in a
text for class, such as Yeats or Angelou,
or finds it in the pages of Spectrum,
poetry can be found, loved and experi-
enced all over the Pioneer Valley.

Show Haiiipshire College Video
Pulp Fiction
.Mu^ic lovers rejoice.
Hampshire College has consistently brought talent-
ed underground nxk bands to the local area, l^ist year
some of the bands that played were Team Dresch.
Muggy Bear. Syrup. Weston. Kaia and Tuscadero.
Friday night marks the return of shows at
Hampshire. Appearing tomorrow night will be the
Queers and Huffy.
The Queers are a local legend from New
England. For the past 10 years they have been
spewing out their own form of homo-core punk
rock that has gained them national fame. Their
most recent record was released on Lookout
Records the famed California label.
Huffy is one of the best new bands hailing from
Burlington. \T. And no tho' don't sound a bit like
Phish.
It is a night that will surely be the first of many
great shows at Hampshire this year.

On Sept, 12. Taranlino's Academy Award-win-
ning, pop- cultural phenomenon Pulp Fiction was
released on video, lust a warning for those of you
who venture into the video store this month —
especially for you die-hard Quentin Tarantino
fans.
This eagerly awaited release (which finally
freed up the screens of small movie theaters) is
sure to make for a Friday night tug-of-wars in the
smaller video stores who only shelve about 20
copies.
However, a word of advice: do not be tempted lo
pick up Taranlino's acting venture. Destiny Turns
on the Radio, which comes out on vidt-o this week.
Haven't heard about it? Probably because it lasted
about one week in the theaters last spring, just
because he can dJrect. doesn't mean he can act
(and boy, did he pick a bad movie to explore his
Thespian feelings in).

of the original Farm-Aid held in
1985. This year's show was played in
front of the biggest audience ever, a
sold out show of over 45.000 people.
The show featured a wide variety
of performers ranging from original
Farm-Aid members to new and up
and coming country-rock acts. Most
of the performers were artist who
have been able to stretch the label of
"country" music into the world of
mainstream. Over 10 acts were
brought to Kentucky to help the plea
of thousands of >oulhern farmers
who have t)een hit by hard times.
The lirst few acts of the concert
dragged. From about 4 p.m. to about
7 p.m. the show displayed straight
country acts. Hands called the
Supcrsuckers. Klackhawk and solo
artists such as John Conlce and Willie
Nelson look the stage. The Kentucky
vrowd which consisted of people
mostly from Kentucky. Indiana.
Illinois and Tennessee, enjoyed the
opening performers and more tradi-
tional sounding music.
The real musical events did not
happen until atxjul 7 p.m. when the
Dave Matthews Band look the stage.
This band took the show from a
ho-hum atmosphere to a slate of
sheer energy and musical explosion.
Ripping out the Bob Dylan's rock
classic 'All Along the Watchtower."
Dave Matthews Hand fully awakened
the packed crowd and brought peo-
ple to dance in music bliss.
The enplosion of Dave Matthews
was followed by the heart and soul of
Hootie and the Blowfish. These guys
delivered the goods. Playing in front
of 45.000 people is not the easiest
task, but Hootie and the boys mas-
tered it. With a whole entourage of
pc)p hit> to play. Hootie belted out
his voice with power and emotion
and his band played equally well
The next two acts were the two
Southern-rock icons who are highly
respected and treated basically as
gods: lohn Mellencamp and the pio-
neer of all rock. Neil Young.
Mellencamp came first playing to
the delight of all the Kentuckians.
His show was a powerful electric per-
lormance that made fans shake their
booty. Hats flew in the air and boots
stomped as he pulled out a greatest
hits set list that kept everyone singing
and dancing. After the Niellencamp
fire Neil Young came out solo with
his acoustic guitar
Neil performed a sweet set that
featured classics like "Hean of Gold"
and "Sugar Mountain." Young's set
was deep and raw. Standing up their
all alone, he showed the crowd his
roots and guts, acoustic guitar.
Unfortunately his set was too short
and only was able to play about ten
songs before the show ended at I I
p.m. The crowd got to see a living
god play a rare gem and also got to
view numerous other artists who it
their all as well and it was. all in the
honor and devotion to one cause.

Hughes brother's Dead Presidents fails to deliver bill of goods
By Jon Lupo
Special to fhe Cc^legiat)
DEAD PRESIDtNTS
Directed by Atberi & Allen Hughes
w/rfi Larenz Tate, Keith David
Ploying at Mt, Farms Poor (opens Fridoy)
Of all the black filmmakers that came on to the scene in
the early' Ws. each with their own considerable fanfare,
only the Hughes brothers' Menace II Society seemed to
deliver on the hype.
Unlike John Singleton's wildly over-praised Boy: .V ihf
Hood (which now plays limp and dated) and Matty Rich's
feckless Straight Out of Brooklyn, the lacerating visual
style and prickly narrative of Menace announced the
arrival of filmmakers with true talent — not only were the
Hughes brothers audaciously adept with the camera, but
the characters in Menace superseded ghetto archetypes
(even when they were, in a way. reinforcing them).
Of course, all that can change with a new lllmmakcr's
second picture. Quenlin Taranlino's success wiih Pulp
Fiction notwithstanding, there's a reason why there's a
phrase like ■sophomore slump." |ohn Singleton became
self- important and humorless with Poetic justice (the
Best Direction Oscar nomination most definitely going to
his head).
Malty Rich directed the toothless teen comedy The
Inkwell and even ihe Hudlin brothers weren't able lo
match the success of their original House Party. So.
what's the verdict with Dead Presidents'? Is it Dead on
arrival? Is it lime to impeach these Presidents''
Not so fast. Call Dead Presidents the Hughes brothers'
.sophomore so-so. The gcKxi news is that Albert and Allen
haven't lost iheir keen visual sense nor their intriguing
riffs on familiar characterizations. What they don'i have is
a satisfying or even relevant final act. And it's a shame,
for the majority of Dead Presidents is eloquently success-
ful at toying with audience e.ipeciations of both its subject
matter (a Vietnam veteran returns from the war to face a
different old neighborhood) and the Hughes brothers'
treatment of the particular era. The problems come when
the story abruptly shifts gears in its last section — indeed,
it actually seems to become another movie. And what
begins as an engrossing character and historical study
ends up a derivative heist picture; it's as if the last act of
Coodfellas was directed — without iruny and plenty of
shaky moral posturing — by Bob Dole.
The worst pan is. you never see it coming. Dead
Presidents opens confidently in the Bronx of 1968.
Anthony (Laa-nz Tale. Menace's O-Dog) has just gradu
atcd from high school and decides to enter the Marine
Corps instead of following in the footsteps of his
college-educated brother. He leaves behind a surrogate
father figure in Kirby WUxkers' Keith David), a low-level
crook, and his giHfriend luanila (Rose Jackson) and her
sister. Delilah (N'Bushe Wright). His friends. Skip (Chris
Tucker) and lose (Freddy Rodriguez), initially skeptical of
Anthony's choice, soon join him in \'ictnam.
After two lours of duty and four years later^ Anthony
returns to find a country that not so much finds him a
hero but more like a dupe He reunites with luanila (who
has had iheir child conceived before he left) to find she's
accepted the monetary help — and the charms — of a
smooth Kiciil criniiniil. and !o a now nearly powerless
Kirby.
Anthony gets a job working at a butcher shop but is let
go when the store closes. Desperate, he joins forces with
Kirby. Skip. lose. Dcliljh (now a revolutionary and gun
dlicionado) and a Marine buddy turned preacher to rob an
armored truck containing old cash — the dead presidents
of the title — slated to be burned in Washington.
In Menace II Smiety. the narrator tells us of Caine, the
lilm's drug -dealing protagonist that he's "America's worst
nightmare: he's young, he's Black, and he doesn't give a
I***." The film went on to deepen that remark, delivering
d fascinating ambiguous hero/villain/viclim. Dead
Presidents doesn't have that same acute link lo its charac-
ters. But it does have an allegiance lo them thai allows the
directors to peek behind the stances of Iheir characters.
Anthony's disillusionment when he returns from
\'ielnani is not handled in some sort of overblown. Oliver
Slone-ish way as a Tragic Loss of Idealism. Rather, it
occurs when he refuses help of luanila's former lover out
ol pride and he is thrown down the slairs for his "rude-
ness." It's not as if the rules changed when he was in
Vietnam — in fact, he's just beginning to learn them.
Stylistically, the Hughes brothers trade in the feral,
lerocious camerawork of Menace for more moody,
atmospheric rhythms (both films were lensed by Lisa
Rinzler). .And they're equally confident whether cueing
in on the erotic pulse of a fwrty by lighting each room a
different color of by transforming the wilds of Florida
into the jungles of Vietnam (whether by necessity or on
purpose, the light shooting is effeclively claustropho-
bic).
The music, as one would expect, is filled with tunes by
period arlisi>. But instead of siphoning off obvious
Motown standards and including a token rap remake, the
film u.ses altecling works by Sly &. the Family Stone. Barry
White. Al Circen as well as Isaac Hayes' haunting "Walk
on By." which was usi-d in the trailer and to eerie tenor
throughout the film.
The heist sequence, densely directed and obviously
obsessed over (it recalls the passionate set-pieting of
Brian De Palina. though it's not in the same league), is
announced with a fuH-screcn title card; the effect is jar-
ring, much like the ghostly white painted faces of the
characters. But when the movie continues on. the sensory
impact of the sequence becomes more and more dissipat-
i-d as the plot grinds into familiarity. The characters begin
lo settle for the cliches that ihe film just spent its previous
lime subverting and gently humanizing. (This is seen in
the scenes immediately preceding the heist sequence,
when it lakes all of one scene and live minutes to reunite,
her to reveal her knowledge of guns and to agree lo join
the conspiracy).
In a recent interview Michael Pessah and I conducted
with the Hughes brothers, Albert and Allen were defen

They called the ending a recognition of the "unpredictabil-
ity of life' and quc-stioned why they were being called on
and criticized on iheir ending while Ouentin Tarantino
can be simullanc-ously praised for manipulating narrative
presumptions in Pulp Fiction. Bemoaning the audience's
ignorant thirst for a typical three act structure, the
Hughes brothers sec their ending as a jolt intended to
shake the viewer out of his/her complacency regarding
film storytelling.
Nice try. but did they have to completely gut their
characters of individuality jusi to pull a stunt as lame
and as uninspired as the ending here'.' It makes the pre-
ceding hour and a half seem like an elabi.>rate come <m
— promising foreplay for an ultimately unconsummaled
final act. In this way. it casts the whole film in a cynical
light, and the Hughes brothers a> shell game directors.
A "gcK)d" ending or even a logical ending isn't about
giving the audience what they want or what they've
merely come lo expect; it's simply about what's best for
the story. The deepest thrills and Ihe most potent sur
prises come from within the plot and refract from the
characters, not merely in what amounts lo a filmic
about-face.
Dead Presidents features some terrific performances,
most notably by larenz Tale, so good last year on TV's
ill-fated "South Central" and by veteran character actor
Keith l>avid. Bui the real stars here are AlK-rt and Allen
Hughes - - talented but neophyte directors whose unfortu-
nate miscalculation has left them with a movie that shoots
itself in the proverbial fool, big-lime. But enough of the
film works lo prove that Ihe Hughes banhers arc headed
for good (maybe even great) things if only they lake

JAZZOJREE
Bluewalt
Oct. 2
II you were in the Murry D. Lincoln Campus
Center this Monday night you may have heard the
sound of rich poetry mingled with strains of jazz
music, filling the Bluewall between 9 p.m. and
ll:>OF.m.
The sound was |azzolrce. a political jazz band
ih.it is fast becoming famous around the Valley,
because of its rather unusual style of music. The
>!roup uses pi>elry as its lyrics and puts it to music
that picks up the meaning of the words and
enhances I hem.
The themes were political, with the exception of
a few ijumbers. as the band is mainly concerned
with issues of racism, injustice, sexism and homo-
phobia.
"Basically things that suck ... that aren't right
about society." siiid Richard Pleasant, the band's
lead singer. It is Pleasant who provides the poetry,
while the music is conipu.scd by double bassist
Michael Sulcr.
However, it is the thoughts and experiences of
the collective niemlx-rs of the band contributions
that shape the overall music repertoire of jazzotree.
One piece. "Mistakes are Made." is about the death
warrant of Abu-|amal. The band handed out pam
phlels and literature calling for his release. The
song "I Remember" recounted a time in Pleasant's
life when he went traveling in the South with some
friends where he was told to "talk lunny and all
that stuff." The song is about slavery and he won-
ders *how many of his forefathers had died working
on those large fields he saw through the bus win-
dows.
The band also played a piece that hadn't been
performed before titled "How Blind America." The
song generated a fool lapping response as did the
universal favorite "Tragically Hip!" played by p»)p-
ular demand,
|ohn Sprague on Ihe electric woodwind was par-
ticularly animated in his response lo the music,
being supple of body anil mobile in his facial
expressions. This helped keep the mood lively until
the final sing. "Myslerio." Then the rest of the
band left, leaving Suler and Pleasant alone on the
stage, playing a truly moving number that has
much significance for Pleasant. He hud written it
for his mother and sister both of whom died
recently.
"The music makes you move, and the words
make you sit and listen." Pleasant said.
And that is what jazzotree is about. The songs
had a catchy beat, yet they never trivialize the
impact of the ptietry. Oib Scott Heron, a political
jazz poet since the "bOs, is iheir leading guru, and it
is in his footsteps that Pleasant and his band have
followed, speaking out against he problems that
exist in our society, in Ihe way that they know how.
They are racially mixed group and Richard said.
"We share the stage because we share the world."

~ Movie review ~
Denzel Washington a big disappointment in latest
Carl Franklin neglects development of interesting plotline, too much emphasis on setting
By Laura Stock
Collegian Staff
DeVIL IN A BLUE DRESS
Directed by Carl Franklin
with Denzel Washington, Tom Sizemore, Jennifer Beols
Playing at Ml. Forms Four
Directors like Carl Franklin who can cinematically
transport moviegoers back in lime are often lauded for
their ability to create a suspension of disbelief. With l)e\il
in a Blue Dress, however, Franklin focuses so greatly on
achieving an authentically 1948 setting, he neglects devel-
oping the already dull story.
Based on the no\el by Walter Mosely, Devil is the story
of Ezekiel "Easy" Rollins — an out of work. World War 11
veteran who is struggling to pay his bills and make a giKnJ
life for himself. Easy (Denzel Washington) takes great
pride in owning a home in Los Angeles, and fearing he
may lose jl because he can't pay his mortgage, he takes on
a job even though he has qualms about it.
It sounds simple enough: Easy gets $200 dollars up
front to sncHjp around some of the clubs he frequents and
find a mysterious girl named Daphne Monet (Jennifer
Beals). Apparently Daphne has been known to cavort on
the wrong side of town, with the wrong sort of people (in
this racially discriminatory time, the "wrong" people are
blacks).
Easy is hired by a seedy-looking guy named DewitI
Albright (Tom Sizemore). Dewitt is a man who simply
"does favors for people." With all sorts of naivete. Easy
takes the money and gets a location on Daphne. Only
after all of his friends and connections start dropping like
flics does Easy realize that he has become trapped on a
mcrn-go- round of crime that won't let him off.
It's not only a game of murder, but also of blackmail
and dirty politics, all directly related to racism. It is ironic
that Easy, who is himself abusetl and blackmailed by the
police because he is black, is the man who has an iron in
everybody's fire and everyone relies on him.
Ultimately, it all comes down to two men who are run
ning for mayor — Matthew Terell (Maury Chaykin)
against Todd Carter (Terry Kinney). Both of the candi-
dates (or the miscreants working for them) want Daphne
bad enough to kill anyone in their way and to throw
money at Easy, literally iefl and right.
The film is slow moving and Washington does nothing
to liven up the screen at all. His performance (like in The
Pelican Brief Crimson Tide and Philadelphia) leaves you
with the feeling that he is just not acting to his full ability.
Although Washington has landed several diverse roles

to think of it. what do any of those doctors do there any-
way'.'
NBC's Thursday hne-up has two new comedies, one
of them K.-ing "The Single Guy." Fortunatelv. the show
is sandwiched between the hit shows "Friends" and
"Seinfeld" in that much coveted 8:50 p.m. time slot.
Unfortunately. "The Single Guy" features a basic
premise that grows stale in about three seconds.
Jonathan Silverman (remember Weekend ai liernie's?)
is hopelessly single, much to the chagrin of his close
and verv married friends. The friends plaved bv Mark
Moses. Jessica Hecht. joey Slotnik and ■Ef{"'s Ming-Na
Wen have nothing better to do than to set lonalhan up
on dates that are bound to fail for one reason or anolh
er.
So follows a parade of eccentric women, none of
whom fit lonathan's standards. Clever things could be
attempted with this show, but when the best side-plot the
writers can come up with is a groin injury, you know it's
time to change channels.
And speaking of groin injuries (sorry. Rick Aguilera).
the soggy Red So.x game, the first of the Division series,
lasted until 2:50 a.m. Wednesday morning. The bags
under the eyes of students revealed the most faithful of
Sox followers (or you Cleveland traitors). Rain delays and
endless pitching changes contributed to the lengthy game.
not to mention the fact that it was tied at three, then at
four, for the last six innings or so (it is all a
sleep-deprived blur). Those of you who fell asleep before
the end, don't feel bad. Injury was added to insull as the
Sox were beaten by Tony Pena's homerun (why does that
name sound familiar'.')

Denzel Washington plays Ezekiel "Easy" Rawlings in the mystery thriller Devrf In A Blue Dreis.
courriSY tm-stmi
in his career, he has that same bland enthusiasm level in
each performance. Producers know Washington is a safe
bet when they need a black male lead — he has that
"like-ability" that will sell movie tickets. What is happen-
ing to Washington though, is that having "like-ability,"
which often correlates to "familiarity," is giving him too
much exposure (you know, the kind that threatens to
destroy Tommy Lee lones' acting career.)
Deiil is a film that leaves you frustrated. The story is a
good one, but it is left to flounder in the hands of the
actors. You can scrutinize the setting for things that
shouldn't belong in the I940's time {icriod (and you will
be bored enough to), but you won't find any anachro-
nisms on the hazy white screen.
It is almost as if Franklin knew how boring the film
was becoming, so he makes a feeble attempt at adding
comedy by introducing some bizarre characters. Easy's
crazy neighbor who pushes around a wheelbarrow and
tries to chop down everyone's trees is a prime example.
Legend tells us that the Devil is an immortal entity, but
the De\H in the Blue Dress will probably die at the movie
theater pretty quickly. C-
Another show in need o( major surgery is "Sisters." The
long-running NBC drama used to be about the semi-real-
istic lives of the four Reed sisters. It seems though that
the show has deteriorated into something close to chaos
ever since George Clooney got himself blown up in order
to join the cast of the highly successful "ER." lulienne
Phillips (Frankie) departed last season, leaving the morose
and utterly boring duo Swoosie Kurtz and Patricia
Kalember to hobble along, aided by onlv Emmy
award-winning actress. Sela Ward.
Then, in what has to be the weirdest casting move, jo
Anderson (Charlie) was replaced by "L.A. Law"'s Sheila
Kelley. The new Charlie is hard to take seriously as a doc-
tor; she looks like she just graduated high school and the
syrupy sweet voice, so grating on the nerves, hardly
inspires confidence. Overall though, the whole show
seems to struggle through the hour. With Georgie
(Kalember) falling in love with a much younger man and
Teddy (Ward) getting shot. "Sisters" seems to be heading
towards the netherworld of convoluted storylines and
shoddy scripting. This is one show that needs to say its
good-bye. quickly and gracefully.
Laura Stoek actually left the moiie theater long enough
to contribute to this article.

It's this variety of experiences
which aids Es(>ada in the develop
ment of his work as a poet. Over
the past 14 years. Espada has
translated one book of poetry,
published one anthology and writ-
ten four books of poetry. A fifth will
be be released by Norton in the
spring of 1996.
'My writing has changed in
terms of how nny language has
become more grounded —
grounded in the senses,
image-based, more economical,
more concise." said Espada. "I pay
more attention to the music of the
language. It's shifting towards
more autobiographical, more per-
sonal.
"Being a poet involves a very
individual experience of one's
imagination and is fueled by a col
lective experience."
Espada said his Puerto Rican
background is very imp>ortant to
him and is often a tool used to help
define his poetry.
"My work is distinctly Puerto
Rican and distinctly political
and that has not changed." Espada
said.
One of the few fjeople of color in
the English department. Espada
often gives back to the Asian.

community.
. "I feel » certain responsibility to
^f^ch certain courses and to
engage certain students and do
outreach to certain communities
that may not happen [otherwise]
without me," Espada said. "It's not
a burden — I want to do it so it's a
responsibility. A responsibility to
reflect that community to this
campus.'

"It's the best thing about working
here. I like my students. They're
intelligent and I expect that.
They're also resourceful, inquisi
tive and courageous. This is an
important lime of life and defining
the self and I enjoy helping stu
dents to do that '
Teaching creative writing also
helps Espada with his own writing.
"People of all walks of life write
poetry and poets need attention,"
Espada said. "S<)nn-times my
teaching provides me with a cer-
tain inspiration. I will scrutinize
myself more closely because I
scrutinize others "

fessor and as a working poet

— not in flux, but apparently,

doesn't always feel this way."
Like the other two professors,
Espada teaches a variety of cours-
es including regular courses like
"Latino Poetry and Social Issues,"
"Creative Writing: Poetry" and
seminars such as "Multicultural
Visions," and "The Work of Pablo

Ron Welburn:
Ron Welburn became an English
professor for may reasons one of
them was because he believed he
ciiuld incorporate both teaching
dnd writing easily.
'I started out with the realization
and assumption that being in Ihe
teaching profession was the best of
both worlds as a writer ... it would
allow me to support myself."
Welburn, a native of
Pennsylvania, writes about his
experiences as a blend of rural and
semi-urban upbringing and his "...
awareness of the natural environ
ment, history, music of various
kinds including American Indian,
jazz, salsa, classical and even
country & western."
Mis Native American heritage
also plays a large part in Welbum's
life.
"1 wrestle with the facets of her-
itage that I can document back
into Ihe late 18th century,"
Welburn said. "I am interested in
the Indian and how they became
Indianized.' My pxjems try to fight
the Indianization."
Welburn said his influences for
writing included "... my mother
and father who told stories in dif-

Paul Mariani:
Paul Marlani grew up in
Astoria, Queens When Levitown
opened, his parents moved to the
suburbs The oldest of seven
kids, Mariani takes Ihe experi-
ences of his life and applies them
to his work.
Mariani, an anomaly at UMass,
has been teaching at OMass since
he got his doctorate in 1968.
Mariani credits his 28 years of
service lo Ihe fact that, "I love
the students and I like the faculty.
I don't like Ihe way the state's
treating the University, ... it's
painful lo see the way Boston
treats us."
Holding a doctorate that special-
izes in Victorian literature, Mariani
applied to teach at OMass and was
offered a spot if he could leach
modem and contemporary poetry.
According to Mariani, that was
what he wanted to get his cksctor
ate in the Tirsl place.

Mariani has taught first-year
writing, British literature, world lit
erature and masterpieces and var
ious seminars on Gerard Manley
Hopkins, William Yeats, Harl
Crane and William Carlos
Williams.
"It's a poetry 1 try to make
accessible lo a large audience,"
Mariani said. "It deals with family
drama — what it means lo be a
father, a son."
"1 find my work is filled with peo
pie in situations which are elegiac,
funny, comic, tough in terms of
Ihe situations it recalls, Ihe dia
mas, the losses, Ihe disappoint
ments." Mariani said
Although mf>sl of Mariani's work
is free verse, Mariani said he finds
he is. "using mr^re and more form,
but retaining a recognizable
American form — you can hear a
person speaking."
Mariani did not start to write
poetry until he was into his early
30s. As for combining careers as
poet and professor, Mariani holds
strong views.
"I don't like missing classes — I
want tr) be there for my students.
I'll turn something down before I
miss class.
"I really don't know what kind of
reputation students have of me,
but Ihe thing that gives me Ihe
greatest consolation is that under-
standing, Ihe light in Iheir eyes. I
want the opportunity to show them
what poetry is about," Mariani
said. "If you can touch them emo-
tionally ... then you've done
something valuable — you've
taken it out of literature and into
life."
For Mariani, being a professor is
what lakes precedence. "You have
no right to bore a student — they
need lo t)e willing to give and lake
... I still get excited when I walk
into that first class."

"We gel tons of stuff." said Sarah Gillis.
an undeclared sophomore and Spectrum
Dickinson
continued from poge 6
career. A mere five poems are
dated from before 1858. These
[>c>ems were written solely for the
reading of her friends. One of these
poems was published without
Dickinson's approval in the
Springfield Republican in 1852. It
is believed it wasn't until 1858
when she realized the immense
amount of talent she had in her
pen.
During her lifetime only seven of
her p>oems were published agd all
of them had been butchered by
editors who failed to see the genius
behind her words Her writing was
greatly influenced by Thomas
Wentworth Higginson. a writer
whom she had admired. Although
she only met him once in her life,
Higginson went on to become her
"safest friend " She once wrote to
him stating he saved her life by
helping her deal with years of emo-
tional crisis. Higginson refused to
edit her work but discouraged her
from publishing.
Over the next eight years, from
1858 - 1866. Dickinson wrote over
1.100 poems dealing with four
major subjects, love, death, nature
and God These were also the
toughest years of her life as she
had several emotional break-
downs. Most of her time was spent
in seclusion in her bedroom where
she wrote and wrote and wrote.
From 1866 until her death in
1886, Dickinson wrote less than
50 poems due to her failing physi-
cal health and family problems.
She had great trouble with her
eyes hindering her sight. Also, her
workload in the home increased
greatly.
h'er father passed away in 1874
and just a year later her mother
was disabled with a stroke that left
her an invalid until she died in
1882. Dickinson suffered another
breakdown following the death of
her close friend. Judge Otis Lord.
On May 15. 1886 Emily Dickinson
died of nephritis.
During her lifetime. Dickinson
stored all of her poems in an beau-
tiful ebony box that was inherited
by her sister Lavlna Dickinson.
Since then Emily Dickinson's work
has been published in numerous
collections and anthologies.
Through this her work has gained
her much posthumous fame.
Through her lifetime. Dickinson
wrote 1.775 poems, only seven of
which were published during her
life. Much has been written about
the effect her seclusion from the
real world had on her writing. By
living almost entirely in Amherst
her worldly experiences were
severely hindered. But to make up
for this, Dickinson was a studious
reader of her family's library
which contained over 1,000
works.
Due to the sporadic publishing
of her poems, Dickinson did not
receive a great amount of literary
praise until 50 years after her
death. Over the past 50 years her
popularity has soared and now
she is recognized as one of the
top American poets ever. In 1955
a definitive anthology of
Dickinson's poems was published
in three volumes, edited by T.H.
Johnson. Three years later,
Johnson edited a collection of her
letters.
Located at 280 Main Street, the
Emily Dickinson Homestead has
become one of the most popular
tourist attractions in town. Visitors
may visit selected rooms in the
poet's home and see the bedroom
where she spent years in seclu-
sion. Until the end of October
tours are held at 1:30 p.m., 2:15
p.m.. 3 p.m. and 3:45 p.m. on
Wed. - Sat. There is a $3.00
admisskin fee and reservations are

Even though Chase and Gillis are

Yes. that's right. The Collegian can be a
place to publish poetry, prose and other
works of art. Local and student artist who
have shows at various galleries around
campus can submit to the paper a press

DENVER —Yet again, the .Atlanta Braves made a great
escape against the Colorado Rockies.
For the second straight game, the Braves could not put
away the Rockies until the ninth inning, winning 7 4
Wednesday night and going home with a 2-0 lead in the
NL playoff series.
The laiesi bit of theatrics came courtesy
of Fred McGriff and Mike Mordecai. who
hit RBI singles in the ninth for Atlanta.
The Rockies compounded their troubles
by allowing two more runs on an error. On Tuesday
night, the Braves won 5-4, with the Rockies loading the
bases in the ninth and forced to use a pitcher to pinchhit
in iheir final at-bat.
Larry Walker's three-run homer and Andres
Galarraga's RBI single had given Colorado a 4-) lead
going to the ninth Wednesday night, overcoming a pair of
solo homers by Marquis Grissom. who increased his
gtries total to three.
But Chipper lones led off the inning by slicing a double
down the Icflfield line off Curtis Leskanic.
Mike Munoz then gave up a bloop single to McGriff.
which scored lones. David justice flied out and Darren
Holmes struck out )av\ Lopez.
Mike Devereau.i then singled to center, with McGriff
taking second, and Mordecai — batting for pitcher
Alejandro Pena — linc'd a single to center to drive home
the go-ahead run. Mordecai look second on the throw
home. Rafael Belliard then hit a routine grounder to sec-
ond, but Eric Young's throw to first was low and wide.
Pena got the win for the second straight night, and
Mark Wohlers pitched a one-hil ninth for his second save
of the series. Munoz was the loser lor the Rockies, in the
playoffs in just their third season. The series now goes to
Atlanta. In Game 5 on Friday night. John Smoltz (12-71 is
scheduled to pitch for the Braves against Bill Swift (9-3).
Braves starier Tom Glavine breezed through the first
five innings, giving up just two hits and one walk. But
■ Sox
then in the sixth, LIlis Burks reached base on ^hurtsto)
leff Blauser's throwing error, and Dante Bichette pro
duced his second pop-lly hit. Walker then homered to
right-center, a 442-foot drive.
.Atlanta, which stranded 12 runners, left the bases
loaded in the seventh. With one out. Bruce Ruflin
allowed a single to lones and a walk to McGriff. lustice
then blooped a single to right, with lones slopping at
third. Rulfin. however, struck out Lope/
and retired pinch-hitler Mike IX-vcrcaux
on a groundoul.
Pinch-hitter Dwight Stnith doubled
with one out in the eighth but was strand
ed when Curtis Leskanic struck out Grissom and got
Lemke on a fly ball.
Colorado finally went ahead after Bichette doubled
off Steve Avery in the eighth. Avery, who came in lo
start the inning, was making his first relief appearance
since the I '1^2 NL playoffs against Pittsburgh. Walker
struck out. and Galarraga greeted Pena with a double
just over the glove of lu-lice at the bjise of the wall in
right. Grissom's first homer came off Lance Painter's
fastball down the middle and traveled 428 feet to right-
center.
Mark Lemke and lones opened the third with singles
and lustice walked with one out. loading the bases. Lopez
then hit a long sjcrillce fly to left.
Grissom connected again off Painter in the fourth, golf
ing a low pitch >88 feel lo kit to make it >-0.
Blauser and left fielder Ryan Klesko narrowly averted
a collision while chasing Bichette's pc>p fly. which fell
for a double in the first. Blauser injured his right ankle
but remained in the game. Burks was shaken up and lell
the game after diving for Smith's double in the eighth.
Burks appeared to hit his chin and sustained a mild con-
cussion.
Notes: In what could be the final game at Coors Field
this season, the Rockies drew a sellout of lO.Ofo'i — the
largest paid crowd in the ballpark's brief history and 2>
more than Tuesday night's previous record ... The Braves
won 25 games in their last at-bat this season.

Red Sox notes: Aguilera listed as day-to-day
By Jimmy Golen
Asiocialed Preji
CLEVFI.AND - Rick Aguilera
was a big reason why the Red Sox
made the playoffs and he was sup-
posed to be the key to getting past
Cleveland in the first round.
Bul Aguilera was not available on
Wednesday night because of a pulled
hamstring muscle and he may not be
in the bullpen for Ciame > on Friday,
either.
Aguilera was injured in the lllh
inning of Tues<lay night -Wednesday
morning's game when he slipped on
the wet mound during his follow
through.
'Anything can happen on a wet
luM." Red Sox manager Kevin
Kennedy said Wednesday before
Game 2 of the tx-st of 5 series against
Cleveland. "And unlorlunately it hap-
piMied lo our big guy last night."
Aguilera was examined by team
doctor .Art Pappas alter the game
and again Wedne->day. Pappas said
the reliever had a slight pull of his
lell hamstring and is day-lo day.
"I don't see this as a major, long-
term concern at this point," Pappas
said.
But every game without Aguilera
is a ciiiicern for the Ri-d Sox. When
ihey pl.iyed Cleveland without him
in May, ihey blew three late leads.
Thai scries led to the demotion of
closer Ken Ryan and forced Boston
to Made lop pitching prospect
Frankie Rodriguez lo Minnesota for
Aguilera.
"We a-alized then that we couldn't
wait any longer," Kennixly said before
Game I. "He's been outslanding for
us and we wouldn't be here right now
if we didn't make that trade."
Since then, Aguilera has been sue
cessful in 20 of 21 save attempts.
"When you lose a guy that's been
a horse for you down ihe stretch,
yeah, it hurts.* catcher Mike
Macfarlane said. "But we've got
some guy with closer experience."
• Kennedy said he will use every
body else to fill in for Aguilera. Mike
Stanton, who has allowed one
earned run in 25 2-5 post-season
innings, is a likely sub after resting
from his 2 1-5 inning performance in
Game I.
Stan Belinda and |oe Hudson have
also been closers in the past "I'll use
everybody," Kennedy said.
Willie McGec. who has been in
the World Series four times, got the
start in right field for Game 2 in
place of Lee Tinsley. "Willie is a vet-
eran and he has some ex|H'rience,"
Kennedy said. "He's faced Orel
Hershiser in the national League
Orel is a great pitcher and I want
some experience out there tonight.
Lee has been hurl a lot in
ScHlember, and I want to get a veter-
an in there tonight*
Tinsley played most of the season
in centerfield. bul he lost his starting
job lo Dwayne Hosey. Boston's usual
right fielder is Troy O'Leary. but he
developed a stiff back on the eve of
the playoffs and was left off the ros-
ter.
Tinsley went 0 for-5 in Game I
with two strikeouts. He is also 0-for-
6 against Cleveland starter Orel
Hershiser in his career. O'Leary was
feeling better Wednesday and will
hit off a tec on Friday to prepare in
case Boston makes it lo the second
round. Pappas said

ing the ball into the far comer of
the net. It was her second tally on
the year.
"I will remember that forever.'
Rudy said of LeDuc's unselfish
play.
LeDuc had two assists on the
day, the other coming off a free
kick Lynch lofted the ball into the
penally bo.x where LeDuc flicked it
to Myers, who headed it into the
net for her second goal of the
game. It was her third goal since
returning form a strained ham-
string.
At halftime the UMass lead was
two, but Rudy knew that the game
could be decided in the second
half. Goalie Danielle Dion made
the save of the game when she
denied a close range ^'aic shot
when .Amanda Thompson slipped
on the wet turf.
"The key thing that we told them
at halftime was," Rudy explained,
"if you let them get one in here it is
going to be a long day and Dion
made the save. That was big time.
Absolutely big time. If she doesn't
make that save we are probably in
overtime right now "
Notes from the press box: In lU
meetings with the Elis, UMass is
now 10-0 and has outscored Vale
32-1. with the only goal against
coming in the first meeting
between the teams in 1978 ...

everywhere all over the field. I'm really happy that
my change helped benefit the loam.
"I just want to be part of the team and help the team
win."
While the position change was a big transition, it paled
by comparison to the switch from freshman to veteran
that took place.
"Even though I am a sophomore. I feel I am a team
leader." she said. "I enjoy stepping up and taking the chal-
lenge of working hard and being someone who is looked
upon with respect."
Ott's intensity has helped her adapt to that role.
"When I'm out there. I don't like to put up with any-
one's crap. I want everyone to do their jobs, and if they're
not. I holler at them." she said.
One of the things On gained as a freshman and has car-
ried over, is respect (or the tradition that surrounds the
Massachusetts field hotkey program.
"The tradition of field hockey here is a program of
work ethic and deteniiination and doing all the funda-
mental aspects of field hockey." she said. "It's gained
people's respect and it's obviously led to success here
over the year>. I realty am honored to be part of the
MNHL
program. I think everyone on the team is. We try to
carry on the tradition."
Coming from the field hockey rich state of
Pennsylvania. OtI is friends with several talented players
throughout Division I field hockey, but according to her.
those friendships are ignored when game time conies
around.
"I'm friends with a lot of people on other teams, but
when you're out there, it's all business." she said. "I'll
push them. They mean nothing to me. After the game I'll
say hi, but during the game it's all business."
Oil and the rest of the Minutewomen will look to be
all business this weekend, when they lake on Syracuse
and lames Madison University.
The I.VIU game will hold special significance for the
team because not only are the Dukes ranked No. 4 in
the nation, but the game will be held in Philadelphia,
which is close to home for Ott and several of her team-
males.
"I know that my family and a lot of my friends will be
there to support me." Ott said. "I know we're going to
have a big crowd because a lot of our team is from
I Philadelphia]."

Despite the change in style, senior co-captain Licsl Sitton
cruised to an easy win at No. 1 singles. 6-1. 6-1. She also
playcxi a tvie in capturing the doubles point by combining
with Caroline Steele to defeat Army's No. 1 doubles pair. 8-

against Sara Snyder, b-1. 7-5.
Dixon pointed lo Lana Gorodetskaya as being one of
the bright spots on the day. Gorodetskaya won her No. 6
singles match 6-2. 6-4. while also combining with lackie
Braunslein to assure the doubles point for UMass. win-
ning the No. 5 doubles. 8-5.
[Vspite sonK surprising defeats of key Minutewomen pbyon;,
Dixon tell the match had a positive effect on the whole team
"We've been winning our matches so handily. I think we
necxicxi to be shaken up a little bit." Dixon said.."l think wc
learned mc>re from our difficulties than if we had just rolled
to an ea.sy victory."
If the Minutewomen wish to continue their success, a
vital element will K." their ability to accept the role of the
favorite. When asked if her team underestimated Army.
Dixon said. "Absolutely. We aren't used to being the
favorite. We've always been the underdog."
UMass faces the University of Connecticut today, a team
which heat the Minutewomen 4-5 last year. Dixon feels
they are not as talented as last year, but certainly can
not be taken for granted. UConn is one of the few
teams Dixon has vet to defeat in her campaign at
UMas>
Whalers will probably be just that.
Montreal Canadicns — St. Patrick
is aging, offense is questionable. The
combination translates into a down
year for the Habs.
Ollawa Senators — It seems like
every year thai the Senators might
get better with their new additions,
but let's face it — to conjugate the
verb; Ottawa stinks. They have stunk
and most likely will continue to stink.
Atlantic Division
Philadelphia Flyers — The
Legion of Doom needs help. There
is no question about it. but that line
will carry them lo at least to an
impressive regular season record.
They need to make some additions
to be a real threat in the postsea-
son.
New lerscy Devil — New rules
and the lack of Claude Lemieux will
keep the defending champs from
retaining that title.
New York Rangers — The team is
aging, and there are question marks
up and down the roster. See also
Montreal.
New York Islanders — The addi-
tion of one of the league's premier
character guys in Wendcl Clark will
be beneficial in the rebuilding
process. Having a guy like Clark
around can really rub off on some
young players.
Washington Capitals — |im Carey
has fewer talented people around him
than his namesake did in Once
Hitten The only thing keeping the
Caps from last is the Sunshine State.
Florida Panthers — See
Washington. except |ohn
Vaabicsbrouk is not as good or as
young as Carey.
Tampa Bay Lightning — "I'll take
teams with no redeeming qualities for
S5LK). Alex."
Western Conference
Central Division
Detroit Red Wings — Well, the
Red Wings have been a great regular
season team for years and will contin-
ue to be. hul they will need lo get
tougher to knock off an Eastern
Conference team for the Cup.
Chicago Blackhawks — The
Hawks have some talented veterans
on both offense and defense. Barring
injury this team will challenge
Detroit and could make some noise
come Springtime.
Si. Louis Blues — Could Dale
Hawerchuck be the center Breil
Hull needs'.' That remains to be seen,
but the Blues underrated defense
could carry them. But the lack of a
solid goalie will hinder them consid-
erably.
Toronto Maple Leafs — Someone
needs to tell GM ClifT Fletcher that
it's time to start the rebuilding
process.
Winnipeg |els — The lets have
three of the league's top forwards in
Teemu Selanne. Keith Tkachuk and
Alexei Zhamnov. but from the blue
line backward, the team has more
obscure players than a USA's "Up All
Night" movie.
Dallas Stars — Maybe ihey should
change their name to the Dallas
"Star." because after Mike Modano.
they don't have any.
Pacific Division
Vancouver Canucks — To beat
the Canucks, you've got to be able to
catch them, and with the group of
forwards that they have in their sta-
ble, that won't be an easy task.
Adding Mogilny to a team with Pavel
Bure and Trevor Linden will make
Vancouver a contender.
Colorado Avalanche — If any of
Colorado's netminders can have a
solid year, then this team will be in
the thick of things throughout. The
Avalanche forwards can and will play
with anyone.
Calgary Flames — Last year's
overachieving bunch will have trou-
ble keeping the pace over a full sea-
son, but Trevor Kidd is a talent and
this team won't be too bad.
Edmonton Oilers — With Curtis
loseph in the mix watch for the
Oilers lo deal Bill Ranford to a team
(Philly?) in need of a goalie. It won't
be this year and probably not likely
next year, but the Oilers appear to be
on their way back.
San lose Sharks — Is there a more
overrated player anywhere than
Arlurs Irbe'.' Somebody has to step
up or the Sharks will be battling the
California natives for the cellar.
Anaheim Mighty Ducks — Until
they change their mascot, the Ducks
arc going to remain in or near the cel-
lar in this bad division.
Los Angeles Kings — The differ-
ence perhaps between the Kings and
the Ducks is that one is a lousy team
with an annoying front office, while
the other is a lousy team with a shady
front office.
• • •
If they eliminated hockey in both
Florida or California it might be a
great season, and even still, it might
be anyway. ' ' ■

Men s cross country
heads to Invitational
By Jason Rubin
Collegion Correspondent
The Massachusetts men's cross
countn.' team began the season with
expectaliuns of success in the tough
Atlantic 10 Conterenee.
The University of Massachusetts
opened their season at the Boston
College (nviialional. facing the
likes of Michigan, lona and Brown
University, three teams that are
perennial NCAA top 25 con-
tenders.
The Minutemen ran well, placing
fifth out of nine teams overall Their
ne.xt test was a dual meet between
Vennont and Maine. The team domi-
nated the meet, easily winning by 27
points, led by strong finishes Irom
juniors Malt I5ehl and Mike Macieko
who placed tlrst and second, respec-
tively, lacing top competition, the
Minutemen have proven that I hey
can run with the best teams in the
nation.
After two meets, the icam has
more than lived up to ihe c\pecta-
tions of coach Ken O'Brien, finishing
in the top five in the BC Invitational
was a tremendous boost lor I he pro-
gram. Following it up with a victory
in the dual meet with Maine and
Vermont was even more of a confi-
dence booster.
*lt was a tough way for us to start,
but we had some outstanding
results." O'Brien said.
The Minutemen must continue this
trend in the Paul Short Invitational
Tournament on Oct. 7.
The Paul Short Invitational has a
long and prestigious history behind
it and has been the host uf numer-
ous NCAA championships. The
meet is a grueling competition and
II is comprised of over b.2 miles ol
road, not the usual distance of five
miles. Paul Short is a great lest of
how the team will perform at the
NC.-\A quali!\ ills' .nnl ■jli.iinpiimvliip
meets.
The layout i. i i;:. . : . . ; 1.-.1
of the Minulenien's worries. In the
past, the tournament has drawn the
nation's finest teams. This is the case
once again. Georgetown.
Pennsylvania Slate. Vitlanuva. lona
and PiDvidenee will all be competing.
All i)f these teams were either in llie
Top 25 last year or have re;ietK-d ihi)se
ranks this season. Viriiinia Tech..
Massaehuselt's chief .\ 10 rival, will
.ilso be theie.
UMass is well rested and unu--uall\
healthy for the most pan. In order to
be successful, seniors Pat Murphy
and Mark Bufone. along with junior
Tim Boilard. must follow up their
strong performances last meet.
With the top-notch running ol
All-Conference runners Hehl and
Maceiko. the Minutemen are a
legitimate threat lo win the meet.
Nearing the middle of their sea-
son, the Minutemen are looking to
build on their early success and
make a push towards the final
stretch. A strong performance at
the P.iul Short would bo a pfrteil U\id
into ihe New l;n»l.ind Championships
next week, vthich will Iv a himioconi
ing of sorts lur some of Ihe momhcrs
of the team who arc from the Hosimi
area.
This weekend is going to be a wlu
able test for the team as they detemiinc
their potential and could he the turning
point towards a successful sivond hiilf ol
Ihc season.

Stale and Keyshawn (ohnsoii of Southern
California.
Johnson was on the cover of Sports Illustrated
this past summer and has been "en luego" ever
since, lohnson set an NCAA record this past
weekend against Arizona State, catching 15
passes for 171 yards. That murkcxl the 12th con-
.secutive game in which lohnson had over 100
vaids receiving. Twelve games, that's an entire
collegiate season. Impressive stuff. In four games
lor the Trojans, lohnson has caught 58 passes
lor 5t*5 yards.
Despite sitting out the fourth quarter in the
Buckeye's first three games of the season.
George has still been able lo put wp some
impressive numbers. He rolled for big yardage
against Ikiston College in the "Kick-Off Classic"
and pounded Notre Dame for 207 yards last
Saturday. George currently ranks third in the
nation in rushing with b40 yards on 109 carries,
despite the late game action he has missnd
because of Buckeye blowouts.
Another huge factor that helps both players is
that they play for winning teams. Heisman voters
love to see big numbers by a player who is aiding
his teain in ihe quest for the national title, take
the Gino Torretta example. Ik)th the University
of Southern California and Ohio State are unde-
(ealed and are tied for fifth in the AP Top 25
Poll.
The second tier of Heisman hopefuls features
a potpurri of quarter backs and running backs.
This vear's group of QBs is impressive. Danny
Wucrffel of Florida highlights this group. He
ranks third in the nation in passing. The best of
the re.-.t features Danny Kanelt (Florida State).
Tommy Frazier (Nebraska), Peyton Manning
(Tennessee) and the injured Key Delmer
(Colorado).
Not to be out done are a solid group of run-
ning backs. Statistically, the best of this group is
a relative unknown from Iowa State. Troy Davis.
Davis leads the nation in rushing with 912 yards.
a 6.9 yards per carry average. He also ha^ .i
average of 228 yards rushing per game for the
Cyclones. Leeland McElroy of Texas A&M and
Warrick Dunn of Florida State arc also possible
contenders for the trophy.
• This week's AP Top Five is virtually a repeat
from last week. The idle Seminoles held ihe lop
spot again, followed by Nebraska, Florida,
Colorado and a lie at fifth beiween Ohio Slate
and Southern Cal.
Last week provided some uilcrc.vliiig results:
Ohio State, Colorado and Alabama all posted
easy victories over quality oppc>nents. The upset
of the week would have lo be ihe loss of Penn
State. |oc Palcrno's Nillany Lions fell lo the
Badgers. 17-9 The Badgers win broke Penn
Si's nation- leading' win slieak of 20 con.secu-
tive.
Now for a look at this week's notable games.
• Miami at Florida State
In the late I980's and lor much of the I990's
this game was always dubbed "The Game of The
Century." Not this year. The Canes come into
this game with a 1-2 record. A loss would give
Miami three losses and would force the Canes to
win at least five, if not six, of their last seven
games to be considered for a bciwl game.
A Problem for Miami is they have a
banged-up OB in Ryan Collins and will likely
have to go with Ryan Clement. Another trouble
spot for Miami is their defense, while it is capa-
ble, they will bo challenged all day.
The "Noles come into the game a 17-point
favorhe, and with Kanell and Dunn, they have a
good chance to cover that spread. The FSU
defense will yield some points, but Ihc offense
will score a bundle. The drama in this one is see-
ing how many penalty yards these teams rack up
for taking their helmets off after big plays FSU
44. Miami 21.

/ have only one friend named
BRAD.
I guess that's because the rest
were killed during the great BRAD
purges of 1953, '62 and '74.
My friend BRAD was born
overseas in Asia when the last
purge tiappened. He likes it
because it helps with girls at
parties.
Personally, I think it's wrong to
take advantage of his rare name.
But I'll bet he's always looking
over his shoulder for potential
BRAD bigots.
I think people should be on guard
against anti-BRADISM creeping
subtley into their soul.
It's everywhere especially
among the ignorant. I'm so glad I
live in a college town where
everything is less obvious.

Minutewomen spread scoring around, trounce Yale

highl\ regarded teams — Brown and

It was a prime
iipportunity for an
upset. but the
I'niversitN of
Ma^sachuM.'tt'i defense would rKit let
It hiippen
Aftei a sjuw fir-i 10 minutes of the
maivh. vophomore fullback Rrica
Uerson worked a perfect
^ve-and-go with Liz Rutherford and
launched a >0-foot h».imb from her
left fool that found the back i>f the
^alc net for an early 1-0 LMass
■' ^ '■ lead. It was Iver^on's
.ollegiate goal,
i u'tc hitting the ball with iu> left
lcX)t." herMin said of the pla> "The
defender ran behind me and I wa»
.tbie to kick it oxer to ni> left fool
and nothing but net."
The goal wa* extra special for
hersoB as the wc^man "-he beat.
Catherine Haisl. was the gi<alkeeper
"he plaxed with back at home. She
also assisted on Kaiin lohnsiin'o goal
off a *el pla> .
From there cm out. the defense and

"I love our defense,"' Iverson said
ol her teainmales "We all feel confi
dent in one another playing like that
Last year. I didn't have niv confi-
dence ... I didn't want the ball as a
freshmen. Now we are comfortable
with each other and know v» hat each
other is doing."
lust three minutes after the
Iverson blast, junior midfielder
Sandy Shimogaki beat two 'N ale
defenders in the corner and fed a
perfect pass to
ReK'cca .Myers at the
top ol the box. who
unloaded a cannon
on Haisl, which the
keeper stopped
"Their goallender had the poten-
tial to make big saves."
Massachusetts coach |im Rudy said.
"Which she did on one here. That
ball that Rebecca hit was a bomb and
she Slopped it. So there was no
rebound to finish "
The l-li nelminder denied .Myers
on this c>ccasion but would not be as
succc'sslul later in the match.
Krin Lynch collected an Amy
Powell throw -in and made a run
toward the pc-nall\ box. from about
20 yards she let go a shot thai Myers,
who was cutting left to right across
in front of llaisi. ledirected into the
net for a 2 0 lead
The ihiow in was set up on the

Versatile Ott steps up in 1995 season
By MoH Vautouf
Collegion Staff
Sophomore Amy Ott has matured since last year and is one of this
year's team leaders, either at sweeper or the midfield.
When the Massachusetts field hi>ckey team
pulled off the two upsets thai defined its sou-
son a year ago. then freshman Amy Ott was
on the bench She celebrated with her team-
mates, but it wasn't the sjine Alter being a
starter for the lirs| patt of the season, she had
lost her spot and had to watch as her team-
mates had their nuimenis of glory
"I was devastated. " she said. "I ended up sit-
ting the bench for the Lniversiiy of North
Carolina game and the lames Madison game,
the two games that were the highlights of our
season. I was devasiated "
last foi-ward one year.
Massachusetts is leading Nii 4 Old Diiniinion
University I 0. and Ining to preserve the upset.
An Ont attacker fired a shcil at L'niversity of
Massu,.huseils goalie Stacv Walker, who made
the save 'l"he rebound however rolled danger
ouslv out of Walkers reach. Now soph»>more
Aniv Oil oulsprinled two Monarch forwards to
knock the threat aside to clinch the LMass
upsel.
This year has been a 180 degree turn-
around for Oil. When the Minutewomen
pulled off this season's big upset. Ott was
not only on the field, but she saved the
game.
"It was really an awesome feeling lo know
that vou stepped off that field and >ou were a
big part of that uin " she said "I got chills. I
said to myself. Oh tnv giKl. Tin so excited." You
cani stop smiling Vou know you did some-
thing right and you belonged out there."
There really is u decided difference between
the 1444 and 1445 veision of Ann Oil.
The Shwenksville. Penn native came lo
LMass alter meeting then coach Pam Hixon at
the National field Hockey festival in Irvine,
Calif. She visited LMass on a recruiting visit
and knew it was the place for her.
"I loved it." Oil siiid. "Il fell like I Wduld fit
in. The team seemed reallv nice."
Ott came lo L Mass imd earned a siyrl in her
first collegiate game and tallied her first eolle
giate goal in only her second game.
But after a strong siarl. her play tailed off as
she dealt with some personal problems and
self imposed pressure.
"I had a lot of personal problems throughout
last season. I was trying to prove myself." she
said "I was never one lo like sitting i)n the
bench I hate it. I was pushing myself to the
pv)ini that m> grades started to suffer. I learned
my lesson."
Heading into the final stretch of the regular
season. Ott let Icxise and found herself as a field
hockey player again. She scored the game-win-
ning goal in UMass' I -0 win over St. loseph's
in the final regular season game and finished
the year with an exceptional Atlantic 10
foumamenl
"I just think that by the end of the season. 1
talked mysell into believing what do I have lo
lose'"'" Oil said. "I decided to open up. let loose

toward her 1445 season, and it has paid off

needed a sweeper for the Festival squad. Taking
her speed and hilling power into consideration.
Lyness decided to try Ott at the position.
It paid off as Ott thrived at sweeper through-
out the festival When she relumed to UMass.
the sweeper position was vacant there as well.
so Donnelly penciled in Ott.
After playing well there for the early part
ol the season, the Massachusetts offense had
become stagnant, as it had trouble creating
in transition. Donnelly looked down her ros-
ter and found the versatile Ott and moved
her again, this lime lo the left midfield posi-
tion.
Again the change created immediate divi-
dends. When the Minutewomen beat Temple
1-0 on Sept. 23. the offensive attack looked
very different and Oil was a major factor. Her
speed and ball skills helped the Minutewomen
offense control the midfield which proved to be
a key lo the victory.
"At each position, the responsibilities are
so different." she said. ""At sweeper. I was so
much more relaxed. I could see the whole
field, so I had lime to react. At midfield, it's
so sporadic. You're constantly sprinting

Prairie View sets
a dubious record
Congratulations are in order for Prairie View

achieve an NCAA record this past weekend against
GramWing, a record in futility The Panthers lost to
Cirambling 64 0, marking their 5 1 si consecutive
deleal. The loss breaks the old record of 50 consec-
utive losses, formerly held by Macaleaster of
Minnesota (Division III). Way to go Prairie View!

Four hundred wins is an ama/ing achievement
and deserving of respect But even more deserving
of respect is the way Rtibinson has run his program
and conducted his players. Discipline, integrity and
respect are all words that define his program and
his players. Regardless of the accomplishments in
terms of victories. Robinson has done so much as a

This nian is nothing short of a legend.

Red Sox lose, down 2-0

WllnVHi
Red Sox
CLFVFLAND — When lose
Canseco and Mo Vaughn are both
hitting well, they can be devastating.
When one of them is slumping.
you've got a pretty gcK)d chance the
other will be tiol.
There's cmly one
way things can go
wrong.
"You don't want
lo both go cold at the same lime."
Vaughn said Wednesday night. "We
did these last two games. And it's
hurt us."
Vaughn and Canseco went hitless
lor the sectnid conseculive night and
the Red Sox lost 4 0 lo the
Cleveland Indi.ms to fall behind 2-0
in the hesiof-5 series.
The two Boston sluggers who
had 63 homers and 207 RBIs in the
regular sea.son — are a combined 0-
lor-20 in the playoffs. Vaughn has
struck out five limes; Canseco two.
"It hasn't been a good two days
for me or Mo." Canseco said.
Canseco tried for a little extra
luck b> pulling his pants up to reveal
more of his sanitary socks, a tech-
nique he also tried
during the season.
He has also spent
some of his lime
between at-bals in
the video room watching tapes.
There, he saw Oiel Hershiser
curveballs that drop loo late to
adjust to, and other pi'ches that
were U)o well-placed lo hit.
"Vou can't press too much. They
shut us down, that's the boilom
line," he said. "They say giunl pitch-
ing shuts down good offense. I defi
nitelv believe ihal 1 00 percent "
Boston manapei Kevin Kennedv
said he thought Vaughn might be
trying tcK) hard because il is his first
experience in the playoffs. It proba-
bly doesn't help that Vaughn is lined
up against his chief rival in the AL
MVP race, Albert Belle, and Belle is
hitting great.
To rub it in, Vaughn's failures are
also being tabulated by a Cleveland
fan whose cardboard sign now reads
"Mo-fer 10."
"We see some anxiety there,"
Kennedy said. "We see guys that
want lo do it so badly. I feel for
them. I really do."
Vaughn disagreed.
"I'm not trying to do anything.
I'm trying to gel a single. " he said
"When I gel a single Friday night
l"m going to grab the ball. We both
will."
Kennedy is also confident both
players will snap out of il. "We

Here's a look how this vear's regular season should stack

Boston Bruins - If the talent mixes into strong chem-

Student tells of importance of
black love and communication
By Rosemarie Brygn
Collegion Correspondent
The often overlooked topic of
black love was discussed in a
forum in )ohn Adams Residence
ILill on Tuesday night.
.■\ "HIack love and Unity" pro-
gram was held by Chinedu
Ogbuike. a senior
psychology/Fnglish major al the
University of Massachusetis. jlis
agenda for the piogiani was rela
lionships. black love, unilv. social
issues, and other lc)pics of inter
est.
Ogbuike started oil the program
slating how a couple inleracis
plays a significant part in how they
associate with their Iriends.
Communication, he said, is the
key.
"People ol color caniiol have
unilv without coMmiunicilion,"
said Ogbuike. who is the UesidenI
Assistant for the second lloor of
lohn Adams.
According lo Ogbuike. loo often
people of color divide ihcniselvcs
by the shade of their skin.
"Il people ol color are to grow,
we inusi first look inside of tiur-
selves," he said.
According to Ogbuike. unity
conies from within and Klore peo-
ple come together as cmc. I lies
must learn lo coniinunicale and
understand i>lheis.
The main concern of Ogbuike's
program was the topic of defining
black love, and whellier il can really
be defincxi. Ogbuike said black love
is "love of yourself and your people "
Ogbuike said he believes black
men should slay with black women
He believes that black men owe a
debt lo Ihe females ol then lacc
"Black men. in a sense, are the
properly of black women," he
said
Ogbuike questioned Ihe modern
relalionship between the black
man and the black woman.
Specifically, he asked why the rela-
tionship starts off well, but deteri-
orates as soon as either or both
parties enters the college scene,
when the relationship lalls far
apart.
One controversial explanation
Ogbuike gives is ihe lad that theie
are "more while females ihan black
lemales on campus."'
The result of lliis ratio, in his
opinion, often leads black men to
white women. Ogbuike said ihat
black unity must be siiessed.
"You"ve got to come back lo the
community." he said.
Newbury Comics to open in Amherst
By Ateffhew Wurtiel
Collegion Staff
Faculty raises may be approved
Not all professors believe Trustees will follmv through on />hm
Another chain store will open in downtown Amhersl
later this month following in the loolsicp. of
McDonalds.
Itosions Newbury Comics will K- o|Kniiig at io Main
Siiecl in the old lUillalo Hill's restauraiil. ne\l lo the
Aiiicus Albion Ixiok stoie.
In addition to selling comic books. Newhurv Comics
sells compact discs, tapes, records, books, posters, jmd
various other decorative and enlerlainnieni incrclian-
dise.
Lisa I chl. executive vice president of Newbury Comics,
said Ainhei-st will be the chain"s newest store, and luilhest
west
She said Amherst was chosen over Noiihampton
because the Univeisitv ol Massjiehusetts is boiiie lo about
I X.UtKl students.
"Ill was| basically bascxi on deniographics lor choosing
Amherst." Niii<| lehl. "We do very well with college stu
dents "
The Amherst store will be 1400 square feel which is
about half the size of the average Hoston area store.
lehl said they intend to use ■guerilla marketing" in the
Amherst market. She defined the term as less reliance
upon mass media, and more on word of mouth.
Newbury Comics in Boston is well known lor having
low prices, and a wide selection of hard-lo find CDs.
Fehl said prices may very well depend upon competition.
Another piactiec they will bring to Amherst, accoiding
lo Lehl. is in-sioiv perfoniiances by musicians lo prvimole
new albums
Fehl said the store will be very successful, but Wylie
Smith, managei ol Tor the Recoid in downtown, said they
are in foi a big surprise.
"They are over-esiiniaiiiig business in town," said
Smith who has worked al lor the Record for 23 veais
"They won't be hav in tha-e years."
Smith said ihc Amherst market i.s nothing like the
Boston maikcl. nor is it like the one in Ihe subuibs of
Boston
Another chain like Newbury Comics tried to open in
downtown 12 years ago. and closed less ihen a year after
opening, according lo Smith
I le also cited Strawberries' initial attempts lo enter the
Aiiiheisl market a lew years ago when they o|)encd iicM to
Price Chop|x-is (which is now Big ^'1
He said when ihey reopened a vear later in the Sujx-r
Stop and Shop plaza, they had changed iheii locus liom
the flMass students lo the community al large

Comics, but Smith said he expects sales might drop
Newbury Comics was founded in I47K by Michael
Dreese and lohn Brusgei when Ihcy were siudenls id the
Massachusetis Insiiiuleol Tccliiiology.
Fehl said when Ihe two opened the store, iliey had
$2.tX)0 and a comic collection, and today il is a large New

A niilcsione. reached in connection with the faculty
contract negotiations, was announced at \esterday"s
faculty Senate ineeling. This progress lollows cm the heels
ol on- going debate, w hich al limes evciked anger in lacul-
ly members.
Chancellor Daud K. Scott addressed the senators in
llcrlcr Hall where, just two weeks ago. piolesling faculty
staged a picket line.
"Outside of Ihe collective bargaining, the campuses will
lake 2 percent of ihcir operating budgets and will devote
lhal loan addilion.il salat>' increase in ihc base beyond whal
is collectively bargained in Fiscal \'ear is)')7,"" .Scott said.
The Adminisiralion and Finance Coinniiiiee will recom-
mend lo the University of Massachusetts Board of
Trustees lhal this change lake effect |uly I, |s)c)7,
A memo from the comniillee indicates the base rale
increases would be "to reward meiiiorious peiforinance
and/or to ellecluale the recommciulalioiis of relevant
studies ol employee classifications."
According to Scotl. the reconinieiul.iiion should be
reviewed soon.
"I would ihink they would probably take it out to the
inenibers neM week or as soon as they can schedule a
ineeling." he said. "Usually if Ihe Union leaders and bar
gainers have reached an agreeincnl. then il would proba-
bly be unusual lor ihc membership lo vole il down,"
Asked il he ihoughl ihis would assuage the piolesling
laculty, Scotl said. "Once an agreemeni looks like iTs
being reached and there are going lo be salary raises. I
think that faculty will feel that the issue has been
addressed But not probably to eveiyones siitislaclion."
One Senator who spoke out was Dr Richards of the
Massachusetts Society of Professors (MSP). He urged lac
ully K) conlinue their pursuil ol thj; contract issue.
"Our Trustees a year ago in September signed a dotu-
meni that they didn't deliver on," he said. "Ciiven thai his-
tory, you always have to leinember. 'words are cheap.'"
He reiterated the argumenl he voiced al the previous
ineeling.
"They signed a conliacl which prosidcd li pcrccnl
over ihree years and they wcien'l able lo gel the dovemoi
lo back their agreemeni." he said "N'omiallv when the
person who appoints you doesn't back \vu. you either
fight or resign. They did neilhei ."
.Aside from Ihe eonlraci negolialion update, several
other topics were discussed including Slialegie Planning,
The strategic plan was oullined in a hand-^)ul piovided
by the MSP,
"This plan acknowledges lour points that amse out of
our discussion and reading of task force reports and unit
plans." it slates,
Il begins with a strategy of investing ihe University's
resources, which calls for "maintaining slrength where il
already exists and devoting new resources thai comple-
ment and bullress that slrength."
The second poini deals wiih ihe numerous research
cenleis which locus on a variety of economic. scK-ial. and
scientific problems. It stales that these centers are ihe
result ol the giassrools clfoils of the faculty or colleges
involved, and is an indication of their commilmenl to
Massachusetts.
The plan also calls allenlion lo piomoiing inleiaclive
teaching, emphasizing lhal learning is an acliviiy which
both siudenls ami faculty can share.
"The (llama and excitement in the classioom and conse
quenily the iinpad of the material on ihe siudeni is
immeasurably grcaler when the leaeher is also the one
making discoveries," ii slates.
Lastly, the plan acknowledges the imporlanee of faculty
morale and the ni:\:i\ lor un almosphere in which lo con

yiarint^ reflect on crime
as Okinawans protest
By Eric Talmodge
Associated Press
TOKYO - The US. Marine
Corps commandant lead his
troops on Okinawa in a day of
reflection yesierda.v over the rape
of a 12-yearold schoolgirl, an
attack in which three American
servicemen have been charged.
Thousands of Okinawans.
meanwhile, marched to demand
that the forces be removed from
their island, while U.S. and
lapanesc ofllcials in Tokyo debat-
ed the pact governing the 45.000
American troops in tapan.
Gen. Charies Krulak. the Marine
commandant, visited bases
throughout the day, lecturing thou-
sands of grim-faced trocips dressed
in green battle fatigues. Usual ba.se
activities, such as jet training exer-
cise's. VYere suspended.
Krulak stressed that the rape
was an aberration and that most
U.S. troops do not violate the law.
"There are over 20,000 Marines
and sailors stationed on Okinawa
who dedicate enormous time and
energy to defending the national
security interests of the United
Stales and lapan," Krulak said.
"What you don't hear about are
the unsung heroes who are doing
their job — and receiving very lit-
tle attention — every day."
Okinawan officials said thev
were baflled that Krulak did not
plan to meet with them
About 4,000 demonstratc>rs
turned out yesterday for pv'aceful
marches and pickets in liviit of two
U.S. military facilities on Okinawa.
"Anger over the incident will
never vanish." said .\obuko
Karimata. a local union leader.
Okinawan officials told a high-
ranking defense official yesteitlay
that the prefecture, comprising
lapan's southernniiisi islands, will
not force reluctant landowners to
renew leases to U.S bases. The
central government can still over-
ride Okinawa, but the clash has
demonstrated how high tensions
are running.
In Tokyo, a U.S. -lapan panel of
militan. and civilian experts held
their second meeting veslerday to
discuss possible improvements in
the bilateral security agreement
The panel, established after the
rape, aims to work out some sort
of revision in time lor U.S.

UNITED NATIO,\S - Saying
intolerance can lead to "a true night-
mare ol violence and terror." Pope
lohn Paul II warned the nations of
the world yesterday of the ilangers of
extreme nationalism and called fm
solidarity between rich and |X.Kir
"In an authentic family, the strcmg
do not dominate; instead the weaker
nieinbets, K'cause of their vei\ weak-
ness, arc all the more welcomed and
served," the po|X- told the ISS-meni-
ber Unitetl Nations General .Assembly.
"When millions of people are suf-
fering from a poverty which means
hunger, malnutrilion sickness, illiter-
acy and degradation, we must ...
remind ourselves than no one has a
right lo exploit another for his own
iiilvantage."
lohn Paul also waiiic'd that "fear of
'dilference'... can lead to a true
nightmare of violence and terror."
'We must ensure that extreme
nationalism does nc«t continue to give
rise to new forms of the aberrations
of totalilarianism." he said.
"Unhappily, the world has yet to
learn how to live with diversity, as
recent events in the Kalkans and cen-
tral Africa have painfully reminded
us." he said, referring lo itosnia and
Rw.mda.
The pope's address during the
U.N.'s 50th anniversary year came as
the global organi/atic>n is running out
of money and its role is being
increasingly questioned by the U.S.
Congress.
The United Nations "needs to rise
more and more above the cold status
of an administrative institution and
to liecome a moral center where all
iijlions ol ihc woilvl led at honic."
the pope said.
The pope spoke in all six U..N. lan-
guages His spcfch includcxi |X)rlions
in English, French, Russian and
Spanish and he ended his address
with greetings in Arabic .iiul
Chinese.
The pontiff did not include large
p.uts of his prepared text as he
spoke, including an appeal to oust
corrupt dictators and an attack on
fundamentalism. Vatican spokesman
loaquin Navarro said the cuts were
made to save time.
Security at the United Nations was
extremely tight duiing the papal visit
Police wearing while gloves stood
outside the building and police patiol
boats cruised the Fast River, whi>.li
flanks the building.
As the pope entered the building,
workers chanted "lohn Paul II. we
love you " During his four-hour visit,
the pope praised U.N. staffers for
piomoting peace and human rights.
"Your contribution as slaff mem
bers of the United Nations
Organization is indispensable," lohn
Paul said, dedicating a plaque to the
memory of U.N employees killed
while serving in peacekeeping and
humanitarian missicnis.
Some 60 fifth-graders of the
United Nations International School
Choir greeted the pope in the U.N.
lobby, many wearing costumes
reflecting their ethnic background
One girl handed the po|X' a Ixiuquel
of flowers. Yuan Zhou, 10. handed
the pope a papier inache dove
The pope, looking frail, lilted the
dove and asked the children lo "pray
for... humanity." The pope later
kissed the tops of the children's
heads.

The joke party of Perot
Bob
Dunn
Well, the odds makers take a beaiing again, lust
when everyone had counied him out. Ariiten
him off. and filed him away with other novel-
lies such as pet rocks, skinny tics and leather
p«nt5. H Ross Perot is making another go at American
politics.
Perot made the announcement last week that he had
plans to create a third party, to fill the void left by the
Republicans and Democrats. What Ross seems to have
forgotten sumewhere along the line, though, is that there's
already a third party, the Libertarians, making Perots
party a fourth at best.
Presumably this party would be formed from the loose-
ly organized remnants of the "United We Stand" party he
formed, abandoned and rejoined in his
ill-fated run for the Presidency in 1992
The name itself begs the question, "stand
for what?" Perot has the easiest job in poli-
tics, that of the opposition, and he makes
the most of it. He doesn't have to. and
doesn't, come up with any solutions, he just needs to sit
back and crab about what he thinks is wrong. His job is
made all the more simple because he thinks exenone is
wrong... except him.
He's given us some entertaining moments before,
though. From the "you people" fiasco, to his paranoid
theories about unnamed panies trying to blackmail him.
to his disastrous showing during ihu NAFT.A debate.
Ross has always been a hoot. A Perui campaign is like a
paisley diaper Plastic, uncomfortable and chafing, but
colorful.
He made the 92 campaign exciting. He made politics
fun again. I can still remember him getting up on stage
and spouting out his fiery rhetoric, sounding less like a
contender and more like Will Rogers on a really mean
whiskey drunk.
Perot isn't a politician, he's a showman. He has no plat-
form, no issues and no party, and that is a major problem.
If Perot, or a candidate picked by him. should get into
office, who could they count on? Clinton, even with all of
his problems these past couple of years, can still usuallv
count on the Democrats in congress The Republicans arc
just as good a! toeing the party line, but who's going to
back up Ross? The Republicans, whom he slabbed in the
back when ho paraded them around like show horses a lit
tie while back just so he could find their weak spot and
exploit it? Or the Democrats who would have lost their
man in office?
.Neither, he'd be on his own. and if he's displeased with
the way things run now. imagine the House and the
Senate running on their own without an anchor in the
W'hite House.
Let's face it. if it wasn't for the aze of his checkbock.
Perot would be nothing more than an irascible old man.
delivering his platform from a lawn chair in a trailer park,
in beiv^ecn reruns of The People i Court and Mailwk.
with a six pack by his side, to an audience
of pink llamingoes and U F.O abductccs,
II not Ross, then who'.' .No one with an\
sense. Perot has alluded that he'd like
Colin Powell or someone of his stature to
run with his party, but I think f
more sense than that.
Teaming with Perot is political suicide. It would imme-
diately undemiine any credibility that candidate may have
had. It would be like if Gene Hackman made a guest shot
on Baywuuh. it would be slumming.
So. what do we do with him:* Well, if (and it's a big ifi
he manages to actually get his party registered!, then he
may very well become a factor, if not actually getting
someone elected, then by at least splitting the vote. This
vote split may have helped Clinton take office the last
time around. If he doesn't get his party registered, then
wc have about a year ol temper tantrums from him about
how the system is wrong and the rules are unfair and how
it's all a conspiracy, etc. etc.. ad nauseam to loc'k forward
to.
When all is said and done, it turns out Ross is little
more than a Frankcn-candidate. put together from bits
and pieces the other parties have left behind, and he's all
bought and paid for. For all those who think he mav be a
Godsend, and the answer to all of our political prayers, be
careful what you wish for. you just might get it.

Notes from the basement
Wow.
W hat appeared lo be over
500 people overflowed out
of the Hluewall anxiously awaiting
the verdict of what was dubbed the
'Trial of the Century."
Similar scenes materialized any-
where a television could be found up
to 45 minutes before the verdict was
handed down.
Debates raged.
"He has to be guilty, if the decision
came that fast," said one cramped
observer in the Bluewall.
"No way," respond-
ed his friend. "'There
would have been at
least one jury member
that would have held
out. There would've
had to been "
What people were in agreement on
was their disbelief of how quickly the
decision was made. It seemed neariy
impovsible that unanimity could be
found that quickly.
When the verdict was finally hand-
ed down, the reaction was eerie. Some
people's mouth's just hung open in
disbelief. Other looked up in appalled
anger, not only at the verdict, but at
the others around them chcx-ring.
It's hard lo imagine that October
3. 1995 will be a day soon forgotten
by anyone.
Staying with the Bluewall...
For all of you still trying to solve
the mystery of what ever happened to
Hatch I'izid, you need to look no fur-
ther.
The flinisy. greasy slices can now
be found in the Bluewall.
To be fair though, the new
deli/pizza/olher stuff cafeteria in the
back of the Bluewall is a pretty govjd
alternative to the other lunch options
available
Staying on the subject of pizza. . .
Are the) really moving an
Antoniv'v lo the Southwest Munchv
Store?
W'hile this may be
good because it will
limit the lines that
currently exist as the
original site, it lakes
something away from what makes
Antonio's special.
Antonio's is different. Since 1991.
Students have enjoyed weird combi-
nations on their pie. It is not com-
mon lo be able to enter a pizza parlor
and grab a slice of taco. chicken
parm or any combination of edible
substances for a meal.
Antonio's in the Munchy store is
definitely a step up from the
Southwest pizza which one needed a
cast iron stomach to keep down and
digest.
But having Antonio's anywhere
else detracts from what has made it
great. While the pizza is the best in
the Pioneer Valley, hands down, it is
about more than just pizza.
In an area where e\eryone delivers.
Antonio's doesn't. It is pizza by the
ilice. It is long lines of drunks on
weekends in that tiny spot on North
Pleasant Street.
So for good pizza, there's another
spot, but be '"uro it iu^i -.v.in'i h, •}■,._.

This week was an interesting study
in what is effective and what isn't
elfective in a protest.
On Monday afternoon, a woman
working on behalf of Greenpeace
performed a one-aclress play at the
Southeast end ol the Campus Pond.
In a peaceful yet powerful way. the
Woman performed "Mata Ara." a play
she wrote in protest of the French
nuclear testing.
People gathered around and lis-
tened. When she was done people
signed a petition and walked awav
informed.
On the other hand Tuesday after-
noon there was an example of how
not to protest.
A man. wearing a mask of a cat.
stood to the side to the Student
Union screaming at people walking
by him. even berating and swearing
al them.
People did stop to listen, but
instead of being moved lo action,
they laughed at his buffoonery. .After
people left him they remembered the
crazy guy screaming, not what he was
screaming about.

Best wishes for

To the Editor;
I am writing this Iclter to comment
on an editorial printed in Tuesday's
Collegian. The editorial by I.eigh
Torbin, "NBA visits RompcTRoom."
deeply lacked many laclv related to
the story of Kevin Garnctt. Being
affiliated with the New York Knicks,
not to mention an avid basketball fan
I have read many opinions on this
issue. Although I agree with Mr.
Torbin on the fact that the game of
college basketball has changed, using
Garnclt's story was a poor example.
Obviously there is an issue here.
The NCAA is concerned that if this
trend continues, the amateur image
of college hoops we once had will be
permanently shattered. However,
there is another question to be asked.
Can Garnetl adjust lo being a "boy"
in a man's world? Tor those who arc
wondering, this is where (ex Celtic
great) Kevin Mcllale comes in.
McHale. one of ihe most respectcxl
citizens of the NBA. has taken precau-
Letters to the Edito
lionary measures in this matter. He has
enlisted the help of Clem I laskins. who
is Ihe head coach at the University of
Minnesota. Haskins will allow Garnell
to spend time with his players so that
Gamett does not fall prey lo NBA-pri-
madonnas Christian Uetlner and Kiah
Rider. .McHale has also arranged lor
Gametl's mother and his best friend to
move to Minnesota to belter insure
Gametl's stability.
I was appalled that Mr. Torbin
wished failure upon Kevin Ciarnell.
He has the opportunity of a lileiime
and I personally hope he supersedes
all expected of him. His boyish enthu-
siasm will be a refreshing change lo
the Derek Colemans of ihe world.

A deeper meaning
to the trial
To Ihe F.dilor:
Today, mo.si of us are making our
judgemeni about the outcome of the
0.|. Simpson trial. Some of us think
he i.s guilty, while others think he is
innoceni. I perceive the outcome of
this trial quite differenlly. Instead of
judging. I am pondering about the
reality that il reveals about policemen
that most of us rely on for protection.
They arc ihose in whom the judges
and jury believe in This trial, howev-
er, projecis a light on some of iheir
practices, which are abusing power
and trust. Do you remember the
Rodney King video lape?
The question whether O.I. was
framed or not can only be answered
by .V1ark Furhinan. But there is evi-
dence ihal ihe police have framed peo-
ple in Ihe past. The difference is their
previous victims were average people
like you and I who could not afford a
dream team of lawyers to challenge
the evidence brought against them.
Conscxjucncc: "After reviewing all the
compiling evidence brought against
you by the police department, we. the
jury find the defendant guilty of ...
The court is adjourned."
"It's belter lo sel a guilty person fax
than lo jail an innoceni one." That's
what set 0.|. free. Whether he is guilty
or not will probably Ix" known.

As the only newspaper columnist in the country

We saw every minute. We heard every bit of innuendo

sion could only mean ihal all 1 2 jurors

0.|. Simpson beat his wife. We know thai 0.|
Simpson insisied on conlrolling her finances, her friend-
ships, and even whom she could keep company wiih. We
know that. 0.|. Simpson had been reported lo 911 time
and again for domestic abuse. We know that.
When Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were
slain. 0.| Simpson tried to leave the country He had a gun.
a disguise, and thousands of dollars in cash. Investigators
found bloody evidence at his house. They found blood in the
hotel room in Chicago, where he went for less than 24 hours
after ihe murders. DNA testing showed that only five or six
people on the whole surface of the planet matched that
blood — one of them 0.|. Simpson.
W'e know that.
Over the past 16 months, the trial had become a frivoli

gagged between its giggles. This is understandable; the
0.|. Show was on 24 hours a day. in your face.
But on Tuesday we all realized just how much the case
mattered. It wasn't just fodder for Leno and Lelterman. Ii

And a majority of Americans know
that, on June 12. 1994. Orenlhal

around him. His utter contempt for his dead wife was visi-
ble throughout the trial.
He mugged for the cameras while trying on the glove
He leaned back in his chair smirking while witnesses
described the crime scene. He wasn't afraid; he knew he
could buy his way out with some cash and a smile — he
was Ol. Simpson, afier all.
Now Simpson returns lo siKielv. legally innoceni. Wc
have to accept him as such. But there's a final, sick mcs-
sage lo the Simpson case. The old Hertz huckster is now
selling a new idea to wife-bealers everywhere: If your
woman is uppity, if she gets out of line, just relax'and
stick a knile in her. Don't worry, you'll walk. You'll walk
proud — if you're rich. Thai's what American justice is all
about.

1 stumbled into work the olher day lo find a
strangely familiar sight. In the back room there
stood three, scared looking pre-leen girls. One

Diamandd Galds brings her haunting metodtes lo the Iron Horse next week
VV-'UW'ti' I ^1MIH:Nt M( «,AMN
By Mike Burke
Collegian Staff
"Centuries from now, if anything
is left, as texts are poured over and
studied for a clue as lo whether or
not any people of this era had one.
Diamanda Galas will likely stand out
as not only an immense talent but a
truth teller and a visionary." Strong
words indeed to describe the most
undescribablc artist of our lime.
Galas emerged on the international
music scene in 1979 al the Festival
d'Avignon where she was spotted by
composer Vinko CHobokar. Soon
Galas played the lead in Globokar's
opera. i!n lour Comme Vne .-Xutre.
From there, she continued her solo
career.
In 1984, Galas began the piece of
work lhal has made her an interna
tional acclaimed star. Her piece
Plague Mass was revolutionary as
its main theme was AIDS, years
belore the disease became CNN
news. For years later Cialas toured
the world performing Plague Mass
as a one woman show. 'The high-
light performance took place al a
most unusual venue — Cathedral
Saint John the Divine in New York
Cily — the second largest cathedral
in the world.
The Plague Mass continued it's
world lour with performances in
Barcelona al the 1990 Olympic
Festival Afier a pert'omiance in Italy,
part of the Italian government con-
demncxl her lor committing blasphemy
against the Roman Catholic Church.
Besides her Plague Mass. her most
well known piece. Galas has written
olher pieces including Vena Cava.
Insekta. lujgemeni Day and Spurting
Life.
At the Iron Horse on Monday and
Tuesday night. Cialas will K' perform
ing Insane .Xsylum. This solo perfor-
mance will feature -ong- by herself as
well as lohnny Cash. Phil Ochs and
Willie Dixon.
Tingles will surely go up your spine
when Galas screams out with her
demonic voice thai has a haunting
three and a half octave range. Her
live show was best described as.
"Frightening, provocative... unlike
anything one will ever see in a life-
lime of concert-going."
Diamanda Galas uill perform at
the Iron Horse Music Hall on
Monday and Tuesday night llolh
shous start al 7:00 pin Tickets are
available in advance al the

The continuing saga of the Red Sox
So the Red So\ have inaUc li Isi
the playoffs again and. of euurse. it
seems lo be all that is on the minds
of New England sports fans.
On Tuesday, former Sox Tony
Pena burnt our beloved team with a
gut-wrenching homer lo win it for
the Indians in game one. Even
though it was only game one. the
looks on the laces of the Sox and
the Cleveland fans only served lo
give the impression that the series
was, for all intents and purposes,
over.
Sure it was jusi another chapter
in the book of chokes for the Sox in
post-season play; added lo the
naines Buckner. Dent and
Eckersley. But through it all the
fans in Boston continue lo tune in
time after time. Hut why'.'
I can remember as a kid going lo
Fenway, the building that concealed
a hidden treasure inside. In some
weird way I think manv people in
New England, once the leaves Ix-gin
lo drop, start lo recall their own
youths and are magnetically drawn
to their sets, nol to see i/ihe Sox will
lose, but rather how thev will lose.
Si'Und pcssimisiK . Iiieie is some
truth underneath this theory.
Boston has found almost eveiy vvav
possible to lose, short of forfeiting
Mike's ,.,
due to a hangnail epidemic. Mental
errors, fluke home runs, fans on the
field, passed balls, missed
grounders — you name it. and it has
undoubtedly happened to the Red
Sox at oite lime or another and pos-
sibly several limes.
Fine, you might say, so they
always choke — life is full of losers
and I he So.x just happen to be a
team of them. But one also has to
lake into account the irony. What
ironv'' Well lusi look the aloremen-
lioned Tuesday night.
As sov)n as Pena enlereil the
game I'm sure a slew ol fans
turned off Iheir s^-ts lor the simple
l.ici thai ilicy kiicu . And in llie tra-
dition ol Ruth. Eisk (and come lo
think of it about one-third of ihc
148}< Oakland A's line-up). Pena
delivered, and I w.isn'l surprised at
all.
A friend summed il up pretty
well when he told me that the Ked
Sox were jusI like the O.j. Trial —
III the end, the shock of the event
was never there, but the disap-
poininient in the institution
remained.
Yel I gel iIk ii.n I will
keep watching, and hoping, as the
generations before me have done,
that the Sox may one day win the
big one. .And a little voice inside
keeps telling me that they will, but
that afterwards the niysticiue of the
Sox will be gone.
Did you know that if you lake the
lour numbers that have been retired
in Red Sox histon and line ihem up
you gel 'I- 4-18'.' This hap|vns to bn;
ihc date of ihe night of the first
game ol a World Seiies the Sox

THE MASSACHUSETTS DAILY COLLEGIAN
V-ball plans to step it up
as they face A40 rivals
By Steven Grant
Collegian StaK
Hoping to bounce back from
Tuesday's home loss lo Rhode Island.
the Massachusetts vollevball team
heads south this weekend to lace a
couple of strong Allanlic 10 oppo-
nents. George Washington and
Virginia Tech.
Ikilh the Colonials and the Hokies
are tied lor scvond in the league, with
5-1 records. GW has an overall
rcx-ord ol I ->-4. while \iiginia Tech is
12-4. UMass (1 1-7, 4-2) will start off
with the Hokies tonight al 7:50. and
then travel to GW lor the Saturday
affair which also tx-gins at 7:50 p.m.
With Giza Rivera out with injury,
teammates Rachel Sky Lesley Nolan.
Susan Maga. Katie Pearce and
Dionne Nash, among others, have
been able to step it up a notch. So
lar, they have pa.ssed some tests with-
out her. and failed others.
The ntaich against the Colonials,
who were picked by league coaches lo
win Ihc championship this year, will
be no Cakewalk. GW is in the middle
ol a Ihree game winning streak, losing
just a total of one game in its matches
against American. Xavier and
Dayton It has played a lough sched-
ule, including the numfx-r one rankctl
team in the country. Nebraska, whom
they lost to in thav straight games.
The Colonials are led by Svetlana
Viurina. who has a team-high 450
kills and a whopping 7.577 kills a
game average. The Minulewomen
should also keep their eve on Megan
Korver (2.785 k/gm, team-high 1.25
blocks per game) and Mil Lambert
i2.'>2) kgiti. k-.ini high 5,129 digs
|XT game).
Virginia Tech is no slouch, either.
In fact, it was the leant that handed
the Colonials their only .A-IO loss.
The Hokies. coached by Stephanie
llawhecker. boa-i .i uell uiuiKled
attack offensively
Senior middle blocker Jennifer
Schmidt leads a field of five team-
mates with over 100 kills on the sea-
son, with lb*! The other four include
Terrie Zulvri. .\ligan Harnes. Jennifer
Arbucklc and Coirie Hundy. Zubcrt. a
sophomore ouisidc hitler, leads the
team in digs (xr game with 5.0. while
Barnes, a sophomore middle blocker,
is the head Hokie in the blocking
deparlmem. with I 57 a game.
"We're pfaving a couple of reallv
good teams." sophomore middle
blocker Leigh Readey said. "We're
going to have to step il up if we're
going 10 be successful. The Rhode
Island loss was tough, but if we play
the way we're capable of playing we
should be able lo overcome it and
have a giKxf weekeml."
The upcoming inalches are crucial
lor Ihe Minulewomen, who need lo
stay in contention for the A- 10
crown Last year, the front six out of
the eight teams in the league quali-
fied for the post season tournament.
This year, there are twelve teams.
And only lour make it. Combined
with the fact ihal UMass is hosting
the lournev las well as the national
championships), ihe pressuiv is on.
UMass will travel lo cross-stale
rival Boston College on Tuesday,
belore starting a five game homes

First ever Minuteman Invitational to begin

Columbus Day weekend hii>
always been big. but never quite like
this.
The UMdss water polo team gears
up to host the first annual
Minuteman invitational in the
Alumni t>\ninasiuni pool at .Anihi.:-'
College this weekend.
Coach Russ Yarworth and ii-.i.
Minutenien are looking forward to
this event to showcase the power
behind iheir I >- I record. They also
\ook lo avenge their only loss of the
season — a "l-' defeat b> Navy on
Sept. 2 — in the feature match al 7
p.m. on Saturday.
"Do you want to see real water
polo? Come watch {the Navyl
match." s,iid the enthusiastic
Yarworlh.
Being t\Ao of the top teams in the
country, they waged war in
Massiichuselts' second match of the
season The Minulcmen fell behind
eatU. a problem for UMass until
rceenily. and couldn't get back into
the game despite a late second half
surge.
UMass has rolled since then, win
ning 12 consecutive matches, beating
two ranked teams, and scoring an
average of I'* goals per match while
allowing just 7.6 an outing.
On top of these impressive num-
bers, the Minutemcn seem to be hit-
ting iheir stride at exactly the right
time of the season.
The hoi streak began at Brown
when UMass throttled ihi^ Bears
12-2. In the same weekend they beat
two club teams — Winter League
Champion. New York .Athletic Club
and .Metro Boston.
They have posted four victories

The UMass water polo team will be hosting the Minuteman Invitational this weekend, where it will try to
avenge their only loss of the season to Navy
since then. iiKluding a win in their fir^ii
home match, a 21 6 annihibtion of an
ine\periencetl Bvtston College squad.
After a three-game sweep of Si
I'laneis. Harvard, and Lordhani al an
Lasiem Water Polo AssiKJation North
Division Tournament, the Minulcmen
are a perfect b-0 in the EW PA.
Yarworlh and his charges have no
doubt concentrated a great deal on
their match with Navy, but they have
two other dishes on the menu —
Richmond and Oucens.
UMass has played lv*o matches
already this season against
Richmond. The Minulemen won the
llrsi convincinglv. 18-t. and six days
later edged the Richmond squad
16-14 in one ol the most competitive
matches ol the season. The
Minutemcn have crossed Queens"
path just once this season, dou-
bling-up the 18th ranked team. 16-8.
It all starts al high noon tomorrow
when the Minutemcn go up against
Richmond.
"I expect a good crowd." Coach
Yarworlh replied when he was asked
if he expected a gi.K.KJ turn-out this
weekend.

All UMass victories this season,
except one. have come when hold-

Defense is the key in whether the
■Minulemen will engineer vicloiy.
"in Iwo games this season we
have given up lour goals, and
that's nol acceptable." Koch said.
The Minutemcn have iheir
share ol injuries to deal wilh this

UMass is going lo be looking

"The freshman have really
stepped it up greatly." said Dave
Siljanovski. team leader in goals
and assists. "That's why we did
well in California, because of
those guys."
"Everybody has lo continue to

can't let outside influences get us

"Il will be nice to pla> at home and play well." UMass
coach Mike Hodges said. "Plaving on the road is difficult,
especially with a young leam. We're looking lo play belter
football."
Two weeks ago. UMass was victvirious at Norlheaslern

Field hockey to face top 20 foes
By Matt Voutour
Collegian Slaff
With last weekend's upsel of Old Dominion tresh in
iheir iniinls. the No. 18 Massachusells field hockev
hopes lo continue ihe trend ihis weekend when il bat
lies No. 16 Syracuse and No. 4 lames Madison.
The Minulewomcn will head lo Sviacuse this allei
iKHiii kij- an allcriuion bailie wiili ilie Orange, and will
licad lo Philadelphia lo play |MU in a neutral site
(Temple) balllc on Sundav.
The No. 18 ranking is UM.iss' lii-l spot on ihe
weekly poll in weeks, alter lalliiig oul of ihe poll fol-
lowing a sirclch in which ihc Minuleworncn lost four
oul of five games. The upsel o( the No. 4 Old
Dominion, however, vaulled UMass back into the lop
20.
"|The poll I (loesn'l le.illy mailer." siiid
Massachusells coach Me^an IXmiielly. "Ol course you
want lo be in there sonic^\heie. Beating ODL) was
inipoilanl. Now thai ihey piil us in there, we're in a
position if we lake care ol things, the poll will lake
care of ilselt."
lames Madison should piovc lo be Mas-acluisell-'
loughesi opponenl since ihey look on No. I North
Carolina several weeks ago. The Dukes are the defend
ing National ClKiiitpiims Irom a year ago. bul were
upsel In ihe Minulcuimien along ihe way.
IMU enleis this year's game al '^-2 and arc reeling
Irom a receiil loss lo I'enn Slalc.
"The way they are plaving lighl now, I don'i think
they are even ihinking ahoul lasi year," Donnelly said.
"Thev've been up and down, bul ihey arc obviously a
very lalenled leam. They are Hying lo find a consisleiu
level ol pl<iy."
The Dukes are led by arguably ihe hesl player in
the couniiy. Senior midtielder Carole Thale is leading
lames Madison wilh 18 goals and four assists, figur
ing ill over half of ihe Dukes goals this season. The
skills 111 I lie Nelhcrlamls nalive are not losi i.i\i
Donnelly.
"Carole Thale is probably the premier player in Ihe
counin." Donnelly said. "When vou have a plaver wilh
inlernalional ex|XMicnce. ils always tiaiigeious."
The game will have some bragging right impliea-
lions, as well. Donnelly and |MU coach Christy
.Moigan are lotnier leanimales iuul good friends, and
have a liieiully rivalry surrounding iheir teams'
cneounlers.
"Christy is a good friend." Donnelly said. "Il's one of
those games thai I always enjoy plaving. Il's a loi of
Inn. There are usually lobsler dinners involved."
In llie first game of the weekend. Ihe Minuleworncn
will balllc ihe always feisty Syracuse Orangewomen.
The Orange enlcr ihe conlesi ranked No. 16 wilh a
record of T-5.
They are led by seniors Icnli Cailei (seven goals, one

Activist looks at Native American issues
By Jane Oh
Cdlogion Staff
As Native Americans struggle to regain their long-lost
lands, a spirited young woman named Winona LaDuke
has proven to he iheir strongest voice.
From her peaceful home on the Anishinabe tribe's
White Karlh Reservalion, 220 miles northwest of
Minneapolis, leading Indian activist LaDuke has been
waging a two sjded battle: to reclaim the vanishing lands
and culture of her Anishinabe people and to protect the
greater environment ihal lies at the culture's spiritual
core.
And the 'li-year-old, part Ojibwe, part Russian lew
and ffarvard -educated LaDuke. is willing lo do just about
anything to ensure that.
For example, in October 1494. LaDuke chained herself
to the front gate of a Los Angeles phone biK)k printing
plant to protest the use of timber in making paper.
"I jusl don't believe thai something Ihal has been
standing for 1.000 years should be cut down and made
into a phone book," LaDuke said.
An 1867 treaty fiad gianted LaDuke's people, one of 7
Anishinabe tribes in northern Minnesota, 837,000 acres
for their reservatiim. Over the pasi few decades, however,
the reservalion has reduced lo less than one-tenth of ils
original size, because of questionable ^ales and foreclo-
sures due to unpaid government land taxes. LaDuke's
solution'.' Buy the land back, one acre al a lime.
With the $20,{H)0 awarded lo LaDuke by Reebok for
her human rights activism, she began to buy the land
back. She has already purchased more than 1,000 acres
and is determined lo bul the rest.
According lo LaDuke. each of the "i.OOO indige-
nous cultures that exist in the world has its own cul-
ture. Although some of them have kept wilh the same
traditions since the lime of memorium, through the
assimilation of the American value system and social
structures, many of these traditions have become
extinct.
LaDuke believes ihal in the industrial society, individu-
als are instilled with the belief that man is a superior enti-
ty to nature and that nature exists lo serve man. Native
Americans, however, believe that the law of nature is the
highest law. she said.
"This country would do well to fashion itself to the laws
of nature," LaDuke said, "because industrial sixiety has
based itself on the ideas of conquest, we have seen it
destroyed by genocide."
LaDuke's passion and respect for her homeland has tra-
ditional riK)ts, as well. Her late father. Vincent LaDuke,
was an Anishinat>e spiritual thinker and writer under the
name SunBear. Her mother, 61 -year-old Betty LaDuke. is
an atl professor, painter and activist. A nonpraeficing few,
Betty encouraged her daughter to identify with her Native
American heritage.
LaDuke's activism heightened during her freshman
year of college after hearing Cherokee activist and artist
limmy Durham at a lecture. Inspired by his words.
LaDuke immediately began working for him. researching
the health impact of uranium mining on Navajo reserva-
tions. After graduating from Harvard University in 1982.
LaDuke relumed home and accepted a job as high school
principal al White Larth.
Currently, LaDuke serves as project director for the
White Larth l^nd Recovery Project in Minnesota, is presi-
dent of the Indigenous Women's Network and coordi-
nates the Mixise Factory Knvironmental Task Force and
Representative of the Third World Coalition.
Furthermore, LaDuke has frequently been called for
expert testimcmy: she spoke at the Commission of Human
Rights in Geneva, Switzerland, International Council of
Indigenous Women's Third International Conference in
Norway and Samiland.
Lal3uke has also given lectures at colleges around the
world including Smith. Harvard, Dartmouth, London
Polytechnic Institute and University of Scotland
(lldinhurgh).
In her first visit to UMass, sponsored by the ALANA
Affairs Office, the |osephinc White F.agle Cultural Center,
Rverywoman's Center Women of Color program.
Graduate Student Senate .and the cultural enrichment
fund, LaDuke will address such issues tonight in the
Campus Center Auditorium at 7 p.m..
On Wednesday, October 1 1 , LaDuke will again address
UMass in a discussion entitled, "Racism from a Native-
American Perspective." The discussion will be held in
r(X)m 904 of the Campus Center and will begin at 3 p.m..
Nelson Acosta, director of the Office of AI^ANA
affairs, hopes I^Duke's visit will allow the "community to
hear some pearls of wisdom from a Native American per-
spective."
Columbus holiday the focal point
of local protesters* discussions
tf Amy H. hKoiy%M.
Collegi(jn Staff
A member of the Revolutionary
Anti-Imperialist League (RAIL)
stood in front of The Lord leffery
Inn. holding a sign that read.
"Naming a day after Columbus is like
naming a town after leffery
Amherst."
Various people who would not
identify themselves — becau.se they
fear the FBI would put their names
on lists fur being anti -American,
according to "Robert" — held an
anti-Columbus Day vigil on AmIterst
Common Sunday afternoon
"Columbus started the genocide
that has .sort of been the foundation
of America." Robert said. "He was a
vassal to the king of Spain sent lo get
slaves, bring back gold and forcibl>
convert the heathens to Christianity."
According to Robert, when
Columbus came to land, he wouki plant
■ cross in the ground, unfurl the
Spanish flag and make an announce-
ment that people already there must
convert to Christianity arxl pkdge alle
giance to the king of Spain Tfte altema
five was death.
As for Lord leffery Amherst. "He
was famous fur giving blankets
infested with smallpox to the
Indians," said Robert, who called the
practice "biological warfare."
Robert played a song he wrote for
the holiday. "Columbus joined the
KKK." he sang with a young woman
"He practiced while supremacy, bul
called it Christianity "
"The main p<.)int." said Robert, "is
nol what Columbus did, bul what
America is still doing todav "
The other student who seemed to
be in charge of the vigil - "Chris" —
was from the Maiiist Inlernatitmal
Movement tMIMt, a Leninist party in
North America. He held a sign that
read, "From Columbus to Vietnam,
lo death camps in Peru, 500 years of
white supremacy must stop "
Occasiimally someone walking
through the conmion would ^lop and
listen or to take part in the diseussinn
One such person, an
African American male who gave the
alias "Luther Robinson." said. "Il
I Columbus Day] should be commem-
orated because il marked a major
turning point in world history."
"The date must always he marked
on the calendar one way or the
other, whether we want to use the
da> to gloni) Columbus or whether
we want to use the day to remember
indigenous people who were con-
quered," said Robinson "I really
can'i see Columbus as a hero no mat
ter how hard I try."
Although Robinson suggested
renaming the holiday "New World
Da>." he said, "I think keeping
Columbus' name on Ihe date keeps it
in ils proper historical perspective."
"Bul it doesn't sound like you're
condemning him." Chris said in
re-ponse lo Robinson's suggestion,
which was intended to be all inclusive.
"I'm more cimcemed with getting
rid of the death pettalty in Peru than
in cfuinging the name." Chris said. "Il
is imporlant that people actually care
atxml ending oppression... Clinton's
getting awa\ with it."
A gtoup of four people in discus-
sion came lo the conclusicm that if
there was lo be a holiday, it ought to
fie a day to rcmemfx-r not celebrate
and lo remember not only
Columbus, but also all those who
came after him
"We want lo include Pizarro. Cortes
and also Rrchard Nixon and Clinton
I in the blamej." Chris said "When you
siv injustice you have to protest il "
When Chris used the Gulf War as
an example. Robinson said. "I
protested that war and I regret it. I
said the US was a murderer but I
shvMildn't have taken sides wilh
Suddam Hussein, because he Is also a
murderer "
That's why the Columbus of text-
books is neither a hero nor a murder-
ing while supremacist, said
Robinsim. who recommended lcK)k-
ing at all sides of an issue iK'cause
making a judgement
"Hut you have to say what Rill
Clinton is doing in Haiti or Peru is
killing people, [and protest}." Chris
said "Otherwise, you're letting
Clinton act."
Local Project helps to

University of Massachusetts students, along with other
volunteers, are building a duplex in Amhersi for two low-
income families.

Thatcher house shifts cultural gears
By Julia Stoyonovich
Collagion Correspondent
Multilingual students now have a
residence hall in the Northeast area
of campus specifically designed to
foster an international environ-
ment.
Thatcher Residence Hall has
changed its name this semester, and
is now tailed Thatcher Foreign
Language- International House.
The International Living Program
that has existed in Thatcher since
1989, and the Foreign Language
Suite Program in Brown House,
founded in 1986. were combined
and expanded successfully into a
house, where "everyone is dedicat-
ed to the importance of the idea of
knowing more than one language."
said assistant director of residential
academic programs Terese
Pasquale
The first floor of the house was
turned into German Studies Center,
and is supported by a grant from the
Max Kade Foundation The other
programs are financed by Residential
Academic Programs iRAP),
International Programs and Housing
Services.
The program of the house current-
ly consists of German, lapanese,
French and Spanish "language hous-
es," as well as the International
Program.
According to Pasquale. the
Foreign Language Program, that for-
merly existed in Brown was confined
by the suite set up. and lacked flexi-
bility in admitting groups of students
who failed to fit the gender break-
down imposed by the suite envaron-
menl.
Moving the program to a small
size residential hall provided both
the flexibility and public space for
the kinds of social academic gather-
ings that are typically part of
living learning language programs,
according lo the proposal for the
new house.
The Inaugural Reception for
Thatcher Foreign Language-
International House and The Max
Kade German Studies Center will
lake place on Wednesday al 5 p.m. in
Thatcher Residence Hall.
Several administrators, including
Chancellor David K, Scott, and the
chairs of the language departments.

Let's talk about sex
Too many people are hung up about ^e\. And I
don't mean the ones who have decided to wait
until marriage or just don't like it. I mean peo-
ple who just have a problem with it in general. As in,
no matter who does it, it's bad, it needs to be covered
up, there's no proper place for it except in fantasv,
never in reality, so just shut up and join the priesthood.
Perhaps it's because I came onto sexu-
ality at the ripe old age of 18, but for
me. sex and sexuality constitute some-
thing as natural as breathing, as much a
part of human beings as their skin, as
ageless as a beautiful sunset or a bright
full moon.
Sex is also one of the most pervasive
elements in the world. It draws people
together, helps beget children, and dri-
ves great art. Sadly, it also sells cars,
inspires violence and, gets people real-
ly uptight.
Crowing up I never realized this. Locked into an
essentially asexual role in my daily life, I thought sex
was the cool thing. It seemed obvious. I saw enough
of it on television, heard enough people talking
about it, knew enough people who'd engaged in it or
were at least interested in it. So I figured the wiirld
was a vcrv scx-positivc place — it had to be. with all the
talk.
Of course my life was outside that world, but even-
tually I would become part of the grand celebration. I
would know the pleasures of sex and everybody would
slap me five and congratulate me. Yet, it was not to
be. Sex was not as cool as I thought it was.
Suddenly, everything I had assumed exploded in m>
face. It was okay to talk about sex, but not to enjoy it
or have too much of it. And even when you talked
about it you had to be careful. Nothing too homoerot-
ic. nothing too detailed, and forget talking about anv-
thing other than vanilla sex without turning off three
quarters of your audience. Oh, and no kissing on the
subway and don't go to sex shops. And always
remember what happened to those homosexuals who
happened to enjoy sex — struck down by God. they
were!
Working outside of this framework the world
seems like a pretiv ridiculous place. Why is prostitu-
tion illegal? Why do there have to be laws against
nuditv? How do sodomy laws stay on the books
when clearly they all violate human
rights? How in the world could talking
about masturbation get locelyn Elders
fired?
The answer to all these questions?
Well, obxiouily sex is bad. The world's
worst nightmare, too low to be dis-
cussed in any kind of rational way or
alluded to in the most vague terms. It
has to be controlled with sodomy laws,
outdated age of consent laws, and
chainv and clamps and ropes and all
these things that give people the wrong
idea.
But what in the world is wrong with sex?
When I tell people I am a "sexual person." they get
the wrong idea. Thev think, ah. she likes sex. so
therefore she must have it a lot. Not so. You can live
in Nebraska and still love the ocean. You can look
down to the bottom of a swimming pool without
jumping in yourself.
You can be in love with sex and sexuality without
being a sex -obsessed maniac or a slut or a whore or
any of those other nasty terms society has given to
people who don't toe the party line. You can just be
you.
So what does being a "sexual person" mean? To
me. it means falling into a natural pattern, ripping
off the harness, and doing and thinking what pleas-
es mc and won't do anyone any harm. It means tak-
ing a part of mvself that I and the rest of the world
was born with and taking advantage of it. Sex hap-

Strange days have found me
We started talking
and she told me there
was something I should
know. She told me she
used to he a man. that
Gudran was Gunther,
and she only played up
that naive thing for
kicks.
Jeremy Hurewitz
Last year I hooked up with
this chick. Late at night,
she started whispering to
me how she knew I was bi-sexual
and how I could have all those
guys
I didn't say anything to ihi'. I
guess I just
hoped she
would say
her peace, get
It out of her
system and
shut up.
Maybe I
thought if I
kept quiet
and indulged
her in her lit-
tle fantasy it
might help
her achieve
some taboo
slate of
ecstasy.
where physi-
cal pleasure
melts into deep, black subcon-
scious and the whole world ceases
to be under the waves of pleasure
that God shines his love-light
through...
She definitely enjoyed herself,
but I don't know if she exactly
reached Nirvana.
This summer < stayed at a youth
hostel in Barcelona. It was filled
with young travelers and everyone
got drunk and hooked up.
I hooked up with Gudran. She
was blond. Norwegian and naive.
She didn't drink and couldn't get
over the fact I'd gotten high before.
I told her I did it as often as I
could.
With a few other couples we
walked down to the sandy
Spanish beach under a full
moon and a starless sky.
Gudran and I left the other cou-
ples and wandered down the
beach together.
We sat down on the soft, brown
sand and talked. After a little
while I tried to kiss her and she
pushed me awa>. I said "What'v
up with that'.'" In her thick
Scandinavian accent she answered
me "I cannot kiss every boy I
meet " She went on tir tell me that
^__^^^_^^ although she
found me
attractive, and it
was a very
romantic set-
ting, she didn't
believe in kiss-
ing random
dudes.
I was
bummed. She
was cold so I
gave her my
shirt and got up
and ■■tarted
throwing rocks
at the black
Mediterranean
She watched me
curiously. We
talked a little more and I honestly
gave up any thought of hooking
up. In my concession some vibe
came full circle and that first elec-
tric spark both of us felt when we
first locked eyes returned.
We started flirting and I strad-
dled her and started teasing her
about how naive and conserva-
tive she was. She laughed reluc-
tantly and we drew closer togeth-
er and more intimate. I started
gently kissing her neck.
She didn't stop me but got real
still and breathless. Soon she
started breathing heavy, but still
resisted my hints at kissing Then
she wrapped her legs around me
and started thrusting nie into her.
She passed over some threshold
and we kissed passionately.
This whole scene quickly
picked up steam until one of the
enormous beach combing
machines came along and snared
us in its headlights. It threatened
to run us over if we didn't flee. So
we ran.
When we got off the beach and
hit the pavement she took my hand
and said we should go back to the
hotel because she was cold.
We walked back hand in hand. I
was shirtless and the opaque
clouds dri77led rain on us. We
•-tarted talking and she told me
there was something I should
know. She told me she used to be a
man. that Gudran was Gunther.
and she only played up that naive
thing for kicks.
I didn't say a word. WTiat do you
say to something like that?
I drew my hand from hers and
we kept walking silently. I wasn't
really angry, just surprised. I just
felt blank. She seemed now to
have no gender to me. completely
ambiguous, and I saw her solely
as a Human being. It was rather
pleasant. I felt no revulsion per-
haps because not much happened
between us. Despite these
strange circumstances I had no
great cosmic revelations or any-
thing: I just basically thought
"whatever. I'm tired." and I went
to sleep.
This semester I hooked up with
some Southwest chick. She was
short with dark hair and she wore
a black spandex top tucked into
light blue jeans. When we went
back to her room and started fool-
ing around she said. "You're
gonna think I'm a freak." I
thought "oh shit." She went on.
"I'm sort of sexually adventurous
and ..." "And what," I said. "And I
have these glow in the dark con-
doms I really want to try." I
smiled and took a deep breath of
relief.
In the morning she giggled and
said, "Do you think I'm a freak?" I
laughed and said "I've seen a lot
freakier."

The mind of white America
The verdict is in and White
America howls.
From the White House to
the Blue Wall, the near unanimous
horror felt by White Americans at
the acquittal of 0.|. Simpson has
been expressed in wailing, gnashing
of teeth and rending of garments, a
veritable white .^.^^^____^^^^^^^^^^^
This outrage. There is outrage that.

the current mental-
ity of the majority
White community

States, coming as
it does straight
from the collective
gwts.
A brief foray,

America.
OI. got off. it is believed, because
he is Black. Not because most of the
evidence was handled by a law
enforcement system which employs,
promotes and coddles Nazis, but
because the case against him was far
from meeting the burden of reason-
able doubt, but simply because he is
Black.
The verdict is being received by a
White America increasingly galva-
nized by a "backlash" version of
racism — the view among White
Americans that African-Americans
benefit from their racial identity, and
when Blacks want to gain an unfair
advantage or avoid responsibilities,
all they have to do is "play the race
card."
"Playing the race card" can consti-
tute any reference to existing racial
attitudes or historical events that
constitute the racial context of
-American society.
Most White Americans remain
oblivious to the extreme inequity and
discrimination in American society,
such as the almost total segregation
in housing nationwide. And they bris-
tle at the notion that their families,
neighborhoods or society are in any
way racist.
Recognition of the asymmetries
and inequalities in almost every

ety here,

Andrew
Hacker's Two
Sations. give
way. instead of
self-serving
fantasies of
multicultural-
ism served up
by everyone
from Bill
Clinton to
to Chancellor
Rush Limbaugh
Scott.
The historical context and actual
realities are felt as an affront, an
imposition, an attack. It's cheating,
"not fair," to discuss or remind any-
one of slavery, |im Crow and
racism.
That's why, for so many White
Americans. exposing Mark
Fuhrmans intense racism seemed
unjust, beside the point, diversion-
ary or cheating — even though not
to do so would have constituted
gross malpractice on the part of the
defense.
Herein lies the outrage at the ver-
dict, the assessment that O I unfairly
benefitted from his racial identity by
unfairly pointing out his accusers just
happen to be Nazis. There is outrage
that, for once, a Black man had suffi-
cient resources to challenge the state
and expose the nature of the system
that accused him.
These attitudes set up another fas-
cinating process in the looking-glass
world inside the mind of White
America — the creation of extraordi-
nary, but reveaKng. double standards.
Contrast the response to the O.j.
Simpson acquittal to the acquittal of
the police officers who beat Rondey
King a few years ago.
That acquittal, in a case infinitely
more clearcui in terms of who had
done what to whom, was met mainly
with surprise and interest, but with
little outrage by White America
Platitudes about the sanctity of the
legal system and the inherent wisdom
of juries predominated.
There was no breastbeating about
what's wrong with the legal system
that such a travesty of justice could
occur. There was no revaluation of
the role and nature of the law
enforcement system.
Furthermore, the fact the King
beating was conducted by a group of
police officers against a Black man
seemed to only justify the act. rather
than promote outrage. There were no
calls for "our hearts" to go out to the
victim and his family after the ver-
dict.
Or contrast the riot on Cortex
Street in Whitebrainsville. USA
now tKcurring after the 0.|. verdict
with the reaction to the Fuhrman
tapes. The revelations about the
insane savagery of at least some cops
and their ability to function well as
respected officers raised hardly an
eyebrow.
Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman may
have been convicted recently, and on
a far weaker case than that against
0.|. Simpson, but that's what you
get. I suppose, for working for the
CIA. as he did for years. But. he can
go to his prison cell with a blissful
smile, knowing that the biggest
explosions in this country are
self-inflicted.
For the Simpson trial, and the
racial dynamics it exposed, remind us
that, like Los Angeles. America itself
is still waiting for "The Big One "

Avoiding the Bar Patrol
call it
I started working in bars three years ago back
home as a barback. Barbacks are the poor
schmucks that you see behind the bar at dance
clubs who can't serve you drinks when you ask them.
But, they do all the grunt work like replacing liquor
and hauling kegs.
I then moved up to bartender and
enjoyed the better "pay" that comes with
that.
Last year I got a job in a bar up-town.
Because it's a college area, it is very diffi-
cult to start right in with a bartending
shift, so they put me on the door. I am now
starting to get a couple of shifts behind the
bar.
Working in bars for a few years com-
bined with my two older brothers —
who have labored in them for around
eight years — I have a few stories to tell.
But. I'm going to turn them into advice
"True Stories from the Bar Patrol."
First, from the door; OK, we don't keep you waiting in
line because it gives us a thrill. Where I work, I get a cut
of the tips, so the more people in the bar. the more money
I make.
But we do have a capacity we have to adhere to. if we
get caught over that number, we would probably lose our
job and the bar would get shut down for a while — then I
wouldn't make any money.
So. when you're waiting in line, don't say things like
"Come on man. only three people, what the hell?" It will
not get you in any faster. As a matter of fact, being a jerk
might cause you to wait even longer.
If there is a line and you are already in the bar. don't
come up to the bouncer and say, "hey dude, can I just go
outside and snag a slice and then come right back?"
Nope. If there is a line, you will be waiting in that line
again — watching someone cut makes other people very
disgruntled.
Carding: you have to have an I.D. That is the bottom
line. We will not remember you from the night before,
we don't care what your friend says and a note from
mom saying "Dear Mr. Bouncer-guy, my son Billy is
21.1 swear to God. love Billy's mom," won't work
either.
Plus. If you have an out-of-state ID., have a pic-
ture back- up. That does not mean a credit card or
your yearbook picture with your name written on the
back.
Speaking of out-of-state IDs, I feel
bad for all of you New lersey people out
there. You might have noticed that you
have gotten a little heat from bars around
here and getting in can sometimes be dif-
ficult. The only thing you can do is find
the person out there making the fake
New lersey I.D.'s. and lynch him. It
would definitely make my job easier,
When it hits 1 a.m., you have to be
out of the bar. We don't care who you
are hitting on. how bad you have to go
to the bathroom or who you know.
Bye-bye.
When Filene's closes, you don't hang around trying
on pants, so don't fry to get "just one more" from the
bartender.
From behind the bar: here is a warning. If you don't tip
regularly, expect to be shut off early. That does not mean
you have to tip awesome every single drink, but if you
consistently don't leave anything, your beers will have a
very, very healthy head on them.
And much to many people's chagrin, throwing up in a
pitcher does not mean you can stay. It is just as bad as
lobbing one on the bar or on the floor.
Bartenders do not know every single drink out there.
"Hey man. can I have a Raming Turnip?"
Especially in a college town, shooters change so much.
If the bartender doesn't know, tell him or her what's in it
(unless it is crazy busy). If you don't know what's in it ...
well. I would never drink something that I didn't know
what was in it.
I like going out as much as every one else does — bars
can be a really good time. Go out, have a rockin' time, see
your buddies and just plain let loose. But don't think you
own the place.

Blur bows while Harper soars
BLUR
The Great Escope
Virgin
When this British pop sensation
s\v<ept the country last year with their
fourth album Parklife. people
couldn't gel enough of ihcir catchy
melodies, quaint harmonies and gulsy
tnglish accents. Blur's "Girls am!
lioys" could be he.ird on every station
.ind in every club with it's 80'-
Nounding beat and biiing nonscnsiciii
lyrics.
Soon Oatils and Elastica began to
lid ihc wavo created by this dynamic
quartet. Now they are releasing their
lilth album on their new label.
\ irgin, .Many people however whf
are looking lor the same type ol
explosive energy arc deemed lo be
disap|X)inied.
While The Great Escape keeps up
with he band's catchy tunes and devil
may care attitude, the album sounds
come off like a tarnished relleclion ol
Parklife. the songs all sound remark-
ably repetitious, soinclhing sadly
unexpected form a band who has
made so many albums and constantly
vying lor attention.
A fcv^' songs stand
apart from the re si
like "He Thought ol
Cars and 'Dan
.Abnormal" but on
the whole the album
leaves you full but
not siitisfied. If any
thing buy it for the
cool packaging —
lor thai is obviously where the cre-
ativity was spent. B- iTura MK

Fight for Your Minds

Alter recieving rave reviews for
last years "Welcome To The Ciuel

"Fight for Your Mind."
On his sophmore effort Harper
continues his folkly slide guitar
music, while still singing heart felt
lyrics. "Opression." the albums
opener .sets the album off on a liber-
ating note in the way Bob Marley
might of done it.'Opre.ssion. I won't

Britain's Blur is back with a new album.
"Another lonely Day." Harper plays
guitar minus his band, making the
song cxlrcincly inliniale. "Burn One
Down" on ihey other hand lakes the
listener on an upbeal reggae jam
while Harper sings on the lopic of
marijuana, 'herb
the gift from the
earth is of the
greatest worth."
As a whole
"Fight For Your
Mind" is more
diverse than
Harpers debut
.ilhuni. adding in
styles ranging eny-
where from reggae lo hip hop. Not
only is Harper a virtuoso on the
album, his band is just as worthy as
he is. Whether your into hip hop.

Versus opened up the show
with an old song. "Forest Fire"
which immedialely brought
sn)ilcs to their few adoring fans
in aiicndance. The hand at first
was a bit rusty but within no
lime they were playing as if they
were the best live band in the
world.
The band mi.xcd up the set real-
ly well, playing songs off all their
releases as well a handful of new
songs. Old classics such as
"Astronaut" and "Let's Electrify"
were stunning as always while
new tracks such a> "Sixteen." "D"
and "Yeah ^'ou" proves ihe band
has yet to reach its peak. The lat-

best songs the bund has written

still powerful, minus it's distortion

folksy tunes of Fakebook.
Things are sped up slightly with a
cover of a Seed's song that is syrup
sweet and filled with longing and
tinged with the feeling of a '50s
sock hop. The EP is then rounded
off with "Mr. Amche Play the

with plaintive choids. ringing feed

"Lost in Space" relletis the band's
black humor and is a delicate melo<ly
that swoops and moves rellecting on

Things are switched up with he

Age: 27
HomefOM^n: Amherst
Year: Freshman
Major: Anthropology
Sexual orienttition: Bisexual
When she realized she was bisexual: "It was
my sophomore year in high sch<M)l. At first I sort of
figured I was strictly a lesbian, but I kind of think
maybe that was because the guys in high school
were just nothing to write home about. Once I
started meeting some more intriguing guys, I kind
of settled into a nice back and forth kinda thing."
Coming out in high school: "I started by telling
my best friend, and then I told the rest of my friends.
OAVWION SMITH ' rCHIFC.UN
Name: Jo Anno Guerro
Age: 25
Hemetov^n: San Diego, Texas
Yean Junior
Major: Enqlish
Sexual orientation: Lesbian
Moment she first realized her sexual orienta-
tion: "The day a girl kissed mc. 1 was I.S and wc
were doubles partners and had become real good
friends. One day she got really wasted and wan-
dered over to my house and came knocking on the
Day,
In commemoration of National Coming Out
six UMass QLB students share their stories
felt very isolated."
Fears about coming out: 'And I was like, 'Oh,
my Ci(xl, I m not really gay, I'm just feeling this
way and I'm going to be wrong a year down the
line.' 1 had a lot of denial... My biggest fear wasn't
necessarily rejection, but not being accepted in the
gay community... I would just be so nervous
around other gay petiple. I'd find out (other peo-
ple] were gay and I'd be like, 'They're not going to
think I'm cool enough to be gay.'"
Finding support: "I came out to a couple people
close to me |in high school) and they were really
giKHl, were there for me, listened to me whine and
cry and all that g«K)d stuff.. It was really easy
because when I went to college it wasn't like I was
coming out. I |ust moved to a new place and I was
out... I didn't lome out, I just was out."
Best experience coming out: "I came out to a
woman 1 was totally in love with and we started to
date. I was so afraid, because I couldn't just tell her
1 was gay for some reason, I had to tell her that I'd
been in love with her... So we came out to each
other... I was in Arizona and we were talking «)n
the phone at like four in morning and she said,
'I've been dating this woman named Susan and we
just broke up '"
If everybody came out on the same day: "I
think that if everyone who was gay came out, we'd
have a lot of surprises, like some gay politicians."
On coming out in public: "1 find it amusing
that I get so much attention for being gay. In a way
I'm kind of happy because I'm the center of atten-
tion |ust because I'm queer. I get to go up in front
of groups of people and talk about myself and have
their undivided attention."
my guidance counselor, and then I told my mom,
and then I told the sch(Kil gossip and by the next day
everylxxJy else knew. This was within a two week
periixJ. I figured, 'What the hell, get it done.'"
First time she came out to some<me: "I went to
my best friend in high sch<«)l I went to her and 1
said, 'You know, Amanda, I'm pretty sure I'm gay.'
And she said. 'Yeah. 1 kinda figured.' And I said,
'What do you mean you kinda figured?' And she
said, 'Well, I was going to tell you but 1 didn't think
you'd fH'lieve me, so I thougfit I'd let you find out
for yourself.'
Best coming out experience: "Probably when
my best friend said to mc, 'If anyone gives you
trouble, you let me know, and I'll kick ass.' That
was verv moving,"
Life in the closet: "I went from just not having
really thought at all about my sexual identity one
way or another to just being out, so if I spent any
time at all in the cloH-t, it was very brief and it was
10, 12 years ago. .S<i I really don't think I ever had
a closeted experience."
If everybody came out on the same day: "I think
for a lot of people it would be a really wrenching
experience and I think a lot of pe<iple would have
their assumptions and forms of misguided beliefs
pulled out from under them. They might need Mime
time to recover"
Dealing with fear: "1 have the little butterflies
in my stomach every time. I was terrified coming
out to my mom, even though intellectually I knew
that she was cool enough and intelligent enough
to co[)e reasonably well."
What it means to be out: "I just means that
anyone who cares to get to know me is going to
know all the relevant facts about me, including the
fact that I'm bisexual."
Who knows: "Kverybody who knows me."
Family relationships: "1 told my mom and she
said, 'Well, I always told you to keep your options
open, dear, and I guess they couldn't be any more
open than that.' I'm very fortunate."
door and we talked for a little while and she was
just tormented and decided that we just couldn't
be friends anymore... And me l>eing the wonderful
friend that I was, trying to prtxl if out of her —
What was wri/ng? What was wrong? — and rather
than just explain to mc, she just kind of leaned
over and planted one on me."
Passing out of the "normal": "I was Miss Head
C;hcerk'ader of the varsity team and had always
dated the quarterback. 1 was at the top of my class-
es, in the drama department, in the honors society,
and all this sort of stuff... (Being a lesbian) didn't
really fit in anywhere. I came from a very small,
Catholic, Mexican-machismo hometown."
On being outed in high school: "As far as I
knew (my girlfriend and Ij were the first to ever
even attempt to come out. Not that it was really
our choice to come out to anyone; we were kind of
outed. We were hanging around together too
much and my friends were getting upset... and
eventually they decided to raid my locker and
found a notebook where my girlfriend and I were
writing letters, took the notebook, xeroxed It, and
it kind of made its way around the schocji... It was
pretty traumatic. It got back to my parents, to the
principal, who actually was the one who told my
parents I was gay... He thought it was his duty to
warn the rest of my family."
Parental reaction while she was in high
school: "As soon as I started hanging out with her
too much, they took me out of tennis, but once the
rumors got back to them, they took me out of
every sport in which I would have contact with
her."
How her parents feel now: "They still don't talk
about it today, but 1 can talk about it with them and
I can hear them on the other (phone) line going

What he is not: "I'm not a professional homo-
sexual. I may be a professional gender deviant, I'm
certainly a radical per«>n, 1 think a lot of things in
s<Kiety necxl to be overhauled, but I'm not singly
f(K-ussed on gay or queer Issues."
Definition of being out: "Basically It just means
being honest. And why the hell not be honest? And
developed a crush on a man, and 1 |ust couldn't
justify this in the same way as before. I didn't want
to bf this man; I wanted to be with htm. When I
ended up sorting out my feelings, I realized I was
gay."
First out gay man he ever met before college:
"Before I came to l/Mass, I knew of only one other
gay man. He was a manager at work. When I first
found out, 1 was somewhat in awe It was my first
time seeing someone else who I didn't quite feel
the same as everyone else. I kind of liMiked up to
him "
Biggest fear about coming out: "My biggest fear
is that 1 would lose a friend, simply because of who
I was. I later learned that if someone doesn't like
you because of something like this, they aren't
really your friend. 1 don't think everyone should
have to automatically accept this alxnit me, I just
think they should In- respedful of this, whether or
not they agree with it."
First time he came out to someone: "The first
pervin I came out to was my ex-r«x)mmate, Adam
I guess it was a lime in my life when this issue was
really on my mind... I had been drinking that
night, and later, it came out... I remember it vivid
ly. I was sitting in my chair, my riKimmate was
already in f)ed half asleep, and 1 spit it out I heard
my roommate roll over after I s|Nike, and he
seemed a bit surprised Luckily he t<K)k it well and
was decent about it We talkc-d about it for a little
bit."
Best coming out experience: "My bv\\ coming
out experience was when I told my mom It felt so
giMxJ to have her know this It was like a weight
was lifted from my chest It felt g(Hid lo have her
know that I wouldn't Ih' married with 2 .S kids and
a white picket fence."
People who know: Everyone In his immediate
family. Mime of his cousins and aunts, and all ol
his close friends.
People who don't know: "1 am not out to other
(K'ople in class. I am not out at work, but then
again, work doesn't allow the chance to he out.
since this topic doesn't come up much."
Feelings on being gay: "I can honestly say that
I'm unconditionally happy and secure in the fact
of being gay It's fabulous! If there were a 'straight'
pill, I wouldn't take it. That's not l<i say In-ing
straight Is worse than iK-ing gay. it's that Ix'ing
secure as an individual is t<M) important to wish for
something to be different "
Meaning of "coming out": "Oiming out is not
just a one-time event. There is no, excuse the pun,
little fairy who goes around hitting people upside
the head with a wand and pronouncing them —
■■OOF!— 'You're a queer!' It's a lifelong priKess in
which you grow and learn about yourself and the
world around you."
Breaking down stereotypes: "People are stir
jirised that I was king of the prom, pledged a fra-
ternity, played high school and college sfxirts
Why? Because I'm a fag!"
Being "normal": "If there's one thing alxmt being
gay, out and at UMass that would hv different from a
'typical heterosexual experience,' there wouldn't
\k... I have had Ihe same hangovers from t<x) many
frat row parties, done Antonio's at 1 a.m., sweati-d
over exams, and laughed through l>r. AIh-I's sex talks
.So look for me at the gym, in the Bluewall, and at the
library, fiecause you won't find mc in the closet."
Responsibilities of those who are "out": "I
believe that it's important for all young gay men
and women who are truly comfortable in them-
selves, unconditionally to give a little back to those
who may not be as comfortable with their own gay
identity.
that doesn't necessarily mean sexual orientation, it
means a whole bunch of things about your f)erv>n
ality 1 think that since... coming out,' I've been a
lot more open about a lot of things."
First inkling he was gay: "I don't know where f<>
start with that sort of question. I mean, looking back
on it now, I know I had feelings for guys as early
back as the second grade, like not necessarily sexual,
but just wanting to tx' with them... And v) I put thi
sum total of all (my feelings and experiences) and
the definition, the label, 'gay' first cxciirred to me in
sixth grade, when I was II years old. It was some
thing I just pretty much pushed out of my mind."
Coming out to himself: "I spent a couple years
(after sixth grade] In denial, and then when I was \^,
in the eighth grade, I was in love with another guy
who was in my gym class... and because I wanted to
pursue... v>me sort of emotional entanglement with
him, I decided, 'Who am I kidding? I'm gay.' And so
at the tender age of l.'i, in the fall of eighth grade, I
came out to myself and 1 lived as a self-acknowl
edged queer individual."
Staying sane in high schcK>l: "Almost all my
friends, even in high schcnil, were queer... I started
going to (the Boston Alliance of Gay and l.esbian
Youth) in the fall of my senior year and started
working as a peer leader in HIV ancj AIDS education
there, and that was a pretty gcxxJ experience,
because I got to get out of l^exington, which is just
this very insular, very isolated, middle class suburb
And I got into Boston, so I met a lot of different peo
pie, a lot of whom really opened my mind... I basi-
cally had to go to Boston for my own survival, just
'cause l^xington was such a crappy, self-contained
environment."
Worst experience coming out: "That would have
to h>e with my mother... It was (Klober of my senior
year of high schixil and it was during an argument. .

- Through Queer Eyes ~
Reflections on prC'Stonewall GLB life
I travel to university and high
school campuses around the coun-
try giving workshops and presen-
tations on the topic of homopho-
bia and general issues in gay, les-
bian, bisexual, and transgender
(GLBT) studies.
Recently, a college student asked
me what my undergraduate GLBT
student group was like.
"Was there
much resistance
from the
administration
and from other
students?" she
inquired.
More questions followed:
the women and men work
together?", "Were bisexuals
corned?", "Was the group
Woiren J.
Blumenfeld
Did

wel-
focus
political or stxial?", "Was there a
separate coming out group for
new members?", "What kinds of
campus activities did you spon-
sor?"
As she asked me these questions,
my head began to whirl with
visions of my undergraduate years.
I stopped long enough to inform
her that I graduated with my B.A.
degree on June 13. 1969— 15 days
before the momentous Stonewall
Rebellion, an event generally cred-
ited with igniting the modern
movement for GLBT liberation
and equality.
Though 1 later learned that
some universities like Cornell,
Stanford, and Columbia had offi-
cially recognized GLBT student
groups before 1969. as a graduat-
ing senior, the concept of an "out"
person, let alone an organized,
above- ground student group was
not even in my range of possibili-
ties
Homophobia in the Cold War
I was born during the height of
the Cold War era directly follow-
ing World War II, a time when any
sort of human difference was held
suspect On the floor of the U.S.
Senate, Sen Joseph McCarthy
loudly proclaimed that "commu-
nists corrupt the minds, and
homosexuals corrupt the Ixxlies"
of good, upstanding American cit-
izens.
When I was only two or three
years old, my parents began to sus-
pect that I might be gay (or, to use
the terminology of the day,
"homosexual"). Shy, withdrawn, I
preferred to spend most of my
time alone. At the playground at
school, children called me names
like "sissy," "fairy," "pansy" and
"little girl" with an incredible
vehemence and malice that I did
not understand.
My parents sent me to a child
psychiatrist in 1953 when I was
only five years old. Over the next
eight years, they continued their
attempt to direct my eventual sex-
ual orientation and exorcise from
me any hint of "effeminacy" in
the hope of forever eliminating all
contact, all vestiges, all memory of
that side of my being.
During high school in the early
1960s, 1 had very few friends and
never dated. The topic of homo-
sexuality rarely came up in the
classroom, and then only in a neg-
ative context.
I graduated high school in 1965
with the hope that college life
would somehow be better. I hoped
that people would be more
open-minded, less conforming,
more accepting of difference.
Something was missing
To a great extent, this was the
case. In college, I demonstrated
my opposition to the war in
Vietnam, worked to reduce racism
on campus, and
planned Earth
Day ecology
teach-ins.
Nevertheless,
there was still
something miss-
ing for me. I knew I was gay, but I
had no outlet through which I
could express my feelings. As far
as 1 knew, there were no openly
gay people, no support groups, no
organizations, and no GLBT class-
es or library materials that did any-
thing more than tell me that
homosexuals were abnormal and
needed to ba changed.
It was in 1967 that I finally
decided to see a therapist in the
campus counseling center and
began what for me was a difficult
coming out process.
My first year of grad scho<il in
1970 was a turning point in my
life. In my campus newspaper, Thtf
Spartan Daily. I saw the headline,
in big bold letters: (i.AY LIBERA-
TION FRONT DENIED CAMPUS
RECOGNITION. The article stated
that the chancellor of the
California State University system,
under Governor Ronald Reagan's
direction, had denied recognition
of the campus chapter of the Gay
Liberation Front.
In the chancellor's ruling, it was
stated that "the effect of recogni-
tion... of the Gay Liberation Front
could conceivably be to endorse or
to promote homosexual behavior,
to attract homosexuals to the cam-
pus, and to expose minors to
homosexual advocacy and prac-
tices."
Curiosity and fear
This was the first I had heard of
such a group, and the first time 1
had heard about other gay and les-
bian people on my campus. I
called the coordinator of the group
and was invited to the next meet-
ing
Since the group was not permit-
ted to hold meetings on campus,
members met in a little
greasy-spoon on a dingy side
street a few block off campus.
Unfortunately, this only con-
firmed my fears of the under-
ground nature of gay life. As I
approached the dot)r to enter the
meeting, I felt as if I were a mem-
ber of the French resistance during
the Nazi occupation.
Upon entering I saw around IS
people. I recognized one man
from chemistry class, but the oth-
ers were strangers. There was a
near even mix of men and
women, which made me feel a bit
easier. In my mind, I had envi-
sioned 50 men waiting to pounce
on me as 1 entered, but 1 soon dis-
covered that they were good peo-
ple who were concerned about
me. They invited me to their
homes, and before too long, I
relaxed in their presence.

It's all too easy to make
assumptituis. If you're a student,
for example, it's assumed that
vou'll graduate at some point.
Your parents have visions of you
in a cap and gown picking up a
diploma in a big fancy com-
mencement ceremony some-
time in early June.
Now imagine
how disappointed
your parents
would he to find
out that you're
tailing all your classes and drop-
ping out of school. Obviously,
sour parents made an assump-
tion about vou without check-
ing out the real facts.
My parents did the same
thing to me when they assumed
I was straight.
Lhis IS not tix) surprising con-
sidering the mind set of this
society, where it's assumed that
everyone — Hairy Queen check-
out clerk, conservative bank
teller, and Whitmore employi-e
— IS straight
When 1 told my parents I'm
gay. It shattered this assumption
to smithereens. In their mindk.
thes'd always piilured me meet-
ing an attractive woman, getting
married, and living happily ever
after.
M first, I wanted to say I was
"just kidding." but 1 sixin real-
ized that I couldn't go on living
my life as a lie. .After all. how
lan any person live their his life
masking his true identity?
Not that it's too difficult
Walking past me in the Student
L'nion and not knowing me,
vou probablv wouldn't be able
to tell I'm gay Like many gay,
lesbian, bisexual, and transgen-
der [H'ople, I don't stand out
trom the crowd.
I will not assume, but I believe
that almost all of you reading
this meet gav. lesbian, bisexual,
and transgender people every
dav during the lourse of your
daily activities. Some of you
know it and others (the ones
who make assumptions) don't.
Nevertheless, you're constant-
ly running into people who
aren t straight — from the per-
son sitting next to you to your
r(Himmate to your professor or
even to your best friend.
Another assump-
tion I find myself
dealing with is the
one that says that
being gay is a
choice. To all you
straight pe'>ple out there, I ask,
have yt)u ever asked yourself if
you consciously chose your sex-
ual orientation? If you think
about it, you will realize that
you haven't.
Being gay is not a choice.
Being gay is your heart beating
— you cannot control when you
want yi>ur heart to start or stop.
It just goes on and on. Being gay
is part of human nature, just as
being straight or bisexual or
transgender is part of human
nature.
There are more assumptions
(K-ople make afxiut gay, lesbian,
bisexual, and transgender peo-
ple, like the one that says that
all of them are the same. To
some people, a gay man always
equals a "flaming fag," a lesbian
always equals a "butch dyke," a
bisexual always equals a "sex
freak," and transgender perv)n
always equals a "cross dresser."
This is not to say that some
gay men. lesbians, bisexuals,
and transgender people aren't
these things, but to say that not
all of them are That would f>e
like saying all grains of sand on
a beach are the same. Yes,
they're all grains of sand and all
part of the fwach, but they're
not alLihe same
You need a magnifying glass
to see the difference in that case,
but you don't need one for peo-
ple. What you need is to stop
making assumptions.

achievement. Lo even acknowli-dge
that what 1 in s.iying exists."
Best experience coming out: "I
went home for Christmas and tried
to get back in touch with my (old
friends from high schiH)l|... They
were the ones who had ostracized
me... So I got m touch with them
and we went out for a cruise
around town and we were drinking
beer and kind of hanging around
in this little town... And I had just
enough beers to be able to say, 'You
guys, rememlH'r all those nimors
you all heard In high school? Well,
it's true. I really am gay. Sonja and
1 have been together for years. '

tional... from this small, Mexican
town... and she had heard all these
nimors and confronted him with
it. And said, 'Your daughter is this

there, and she was telling me, 'You
need to just get out of this town,
you don't belong here, we don't
need your kind here...' And my
father... defended me and told her
that... it was none of her busi-
ness... And he was yelling and she
was yelling and she reached over
and she scratched him across the
face and he kind of shoved her a
little... I haven't spoken with her
for 10 vears after that."
Communique from queer Japan
F.ditor\ Mole: Yuko Siikaxuehi i\ a student at Sophia
LnivetsitX' in Tokyo. Japan. During the I994-I99S aead-
eniii year, she was an international exchange student at

Dear LlVlass students,
Congratulations on "fdnimg Out" Day!!! I hope it
will be a wonderful day for you all.
Last vear I was at LJMass as an exchange student
from Japan, and 1 could get a lot of experiences as a
queer student. I wasn't an "out" student, though.
During my stay at UMass, I always felt that queers in
the Slates are very active and "out." I'hey have big pride
marches in the States, "Coming Out" day, and c(K)I cul-
ture. .And it's easy to get information on queer things.
I found that the States had a better queer commu-
nity than Japan did. In Japan the queer community is
Wf NOV OARI INCj / (OlIEOIAN

hidden.
Many people don't think that queers are in Japan.
That's why most queer people aren't active. But
recently they are getting active and trying to be "out."
At the end of last August they had the Second
lesbian and (iay Pride March in Tokyo. About 2,000
people took part in that march. Of course, I partici-
pated in it with my friends. As the march walked
down one of the busiest streets in Tokyo, they showed
their pride to many people on the sidewalk. It was a
big and meaningful event to people.
But since I've lieen in the closet, I was afraid that
someone who knew me would see me marching.
Actually most people who took part in the march
seemed to be worried about the same thing.
That's why they put on make up, costumes, and dark
sunglasses in order to hide who they are. It shows that
in Japan, being "out" as lesbian or gay is not easy at all.
1 don't think that people who hide themselves can
really show their pride. That's why I don't know if It
was a meaningful "pride" march or not. But It could
make a difference to people.
I found that something has been changing in our
life in Japan. 1 hope the march will encourage people
to come out. Not only the pride march, but also some
queer culture which is getting popular in Japan and
having a good influence on people.
One of these changes is having queer videos. In the
last lesbian and gay film festival in Tokyo, there was a
queer video competition. I guess in the States there
are many professional queer videomakers, but in
Japan there's none. That's why videomaking is getting
popular among queer people.
Lhe other change is especially for lesbians, and It's
A new lesbian magazine called PHRYNF, full of queer
Information, kind of like Out magazine in the States.
Before that, they didn't have magazines for lesbians
like that, so this is an exciting thing.
I can say that in Japan, not every queer person, but
rather the queer community is coming out to people
now Ihe pride march, the film festival, queer video-
making, and the lesbian magazine are all creating a
space for queers to come out and end discrimination
against them. ,

Facing up to new
realities in health
By Patrick Cleary
COLLtGlAN
Correspondent
For many gay, lesbian, and
bisexual students, the college
years are the first opportunity
they have to explore their sexu-
al identities. It is also often the
first opportunity these students
have for same-sex sexual experi-
ences — and the first time they
have had to worry atxiut expo-
sure to sexually transmitted dis-
eases, HIV, and AIDS.
"When you think about it,
this student population is made
up of people who have grown
up entirely in the age of AIDS,"
says Lisa Andruchow, an
HIV/AIDS testing counsellor at
Syracuse Community Health
Center.
When AIDS first appeared on
the scene, says Andruchow, it
was virtually ignored by the
media, and gay men felt that
they had to take responsibility
for stopping the disease.
As more and more informa-
tion became available, the
media has become saturated
with messages atK>ut safer sex.
"Young people today no
longer see this disease as a per-
sonal responsibility," says
Andruchow. "Safer-sex has
l)ecome a message of the estab-
lishment, and young people
have always retielled against the
establishment."
There is also a sense of fatal-
ism regarding AIDS today,
according to Lauri Turkovsky of
University of Massachusetts
Health Education. Because the
messages of the last 10 years
have stressed safer-sex practices
1(X) percent of the time for life,
a lot of gay and bisexual men
are chix>sing to take more risks.
"Most gay men have the infor-
mation they need to protect
themselves, but don't see it fit-
ting into their lives," Turkovsky
says. "They see a choice l>etween
risking infection or only engag-
ing in practices considered safer
for the rest of their lives."
Unfortunately, many men
choose to risk it, says Turkovsky.
Another factor is perceiveid
risk. Although the message about
safer-sex is getting through to
the public, people have dififerent
definitions of "risky" behavior
This definition often has little to
do with aitual risk.
A study conducted by Laurie
Bauman and Karolyn Siegal in
the lournul of Applied Social
Psychology showed that most of
the gay men in the study classi-
fied their behavior as
"low-risk", but when asked to
describe their sexual practices,
indicated they had engaged in
what medical authorities con-
sider "more risky" or even "high
risk" behavior.
Sexual practices that do not
put a person at risk for
HIV/AIDS could lead to other
sexually transmitted diseases
(STDs) as well, says Andruchow.
"STDs are sometimes pushed
into the background," she says.
"Since the advent of AIDS, peo-
ple have started to consider
STDs as something that can be
easily taken care of. '
Often gay men, lesbians, and
bisexuals will ignore the signs of
STDs, rather than seek medical
advice. A recent survey showed
that 23 percent of young lesbian
women with STDs .were choos-
ing to treat themselves instead
of visiting a physician. Many
felt uncomfortable discussing
their sexual orientation with a
gynecologist, and cited this dis-
comfort as a hinderance in seek-
ing regular gynecological care.
How are young lesbians, gay
men, and bisexuals to keep
healthy and whole still explor-
ing their sexuality?
"The v>lution is in communi-
cation," says Andruvhow.
"Being frank with your partner
alK)ut health issues is the f)est
way to keep yourself and your
partner safe."
Turkovsky agrees "Finding a
physician with whom you can
feel safe is a matter of talking to
your friends and others in the
community. Ask your friends
who they see, and what their
experiences were."
Turkovsky encourages gay,
lesbian, and bisexual students to
take advantage of the many ser-
vices available on Ihe UMass
campus and throughout the
Pioneer Valley, particularly the
UMass Stonewall Center, a GLB
resource center.
"It is important not to let fear
be your guide," says Andruchow.
"With the right information,
and a commitment to keeping
yourself healthy, you should cer-
tainly take this time to explore
your sexual Identity."
GLBT Students find virtual community
"QLBT Notes" software links students from every comer of the UMass campus

While the University of
Massachusetts clearly has a large
and active gay, lestiian, bisexual,
and transgender community, not
all community members get
together with each other face to
face.
Instead, they communicate
through an ever-expanding com-
puter network that is helping to
link GLBT people and allies
throughout the world.
At UMass, the Office of
Information Technology (OITl
operates an on-campus software
program called Notes that allows
CU.BT users and allies to share ideas.
problems, news, and information.
Notes runs through the VMS cluster
and can be accessed by anyone who
holds an OIT account.
"I've l)een able to talk with a lot
of people over the |lnternet| that I
would never have had the chance
to talk to otherwise," writes Patrick
c;ieary in answer to a question post-
ed on Notes.
[X'scribed by OIT as a "computer-
mediated conferencing system,"
Notes is essentially a sophisticated
version of a public rest rix)m wall —
one person (x>sts an idea, news
item, fH)em, or other bit of infor-
mation and other people respond.
In addition. Notes offers users a far
greater variety of topics to read about
and discuss. C^urrently Notes offers
roughly twenty separate conferences.
including "For Sale," "Dating,"
"Dreams," "Movies,' "Music, and
"Political." There are alvi two large
general interest conferences called
"Magnet" and "Open.
A gay, lesbian, bisexual, and
transgender conference, "GLBT,"
was added in Lebmary. .As shown by
its fxistings, "cilBT" has develoiK-d
into one of the more popular con-
ferences on the system
Postings have ranged from the
(N>litical ("Vocal conservatives iiO
TO HFLL") to the jK-rsonal ("Not
educated yet. but learning") to
events listings, news items, and
general discussions on GI.BI issues.
"I appreciate (this tormatj. which
allows you lo [xmder and edit voiir
resf)onses," writes Rita Benson on
the "GLBT" Notes conference
According to Benson, Notes
allows a user to "remain simply a
name and participate in a democra-
tic priHc'ss of exchanging ideas with
(HHiple you might never have got-
ten to talk to |otherwise|."
(;iear>- has had Ihe same experi-
ence. LKing Notes and other soft
ware available on the Internet,
Clearv has iK-en able to meet "sev-
eral (H'ople who weren't all that
active in the [UMass Gl Bl commu-
iiityl"
"I even met a lew jK'ople who
were very cli>seted in real life, but
really 'out' on the svsteni." he
writes. "My K'st friend... is some-
one I met over the |lnternet|, and
she IS vimeone I know I wouldii t
have crtissed [)aths with other-
wise."
Notes from a conversation in cyberspace
To give Collegian readers a bet-
ter idea of what Notes is about, I
decided to go directly to the
source: Notes users. A few weeks
ago, I posted a notice out in cyber-
space saying I wanted to start ask-
ing questions, and within hours, I
was receiving messages saying,
essentially, "Go right ahead!"
The next thing I did was to enter
a posting with a few questions
about CiLBT Notes, for instance,
"What kind of impact do you
think this kind of technology will
have or does have on the GLBT
community?" I typed my ques-
tions, pressed C<mtrol-Z to mark
the end, typed in title at the
prompt, anci said, "Yes, I'll post it"
The result of this little experi-
ment is printed below. Certain
Internet idiosyncrasies have been
removed (faulty spelling, gram-
mar, and capitalization) and I've
cut out a few bits and pieces, but
for the general reader, this is what
was said (errr... written).
People who would like to find
out more about Notes (and get a
load of this conversation first
hand) can contact the Office of
Information Technology (OIT) in
the low rise portion of the l.ederle
Ciraduate Research t>nter.
Another option is to log on to an
account, type "Inews" (the OIL
gopher) after the "$" prompt, and
select the option that gives vou
information on Notes.
All p<istings were made under
the heading "Quest 1" and are list-
ed along with their titles and the
user names of Ihe people who

RBBNSON, Ans. 1 — Notes and
Attitudes change, behavior remains
By Wendy Darling
Collegian Staff
At the University of Massachusetts, life for gays, les-
bians, and bisexuals is still something of a mixed bag,
according to a 1994 poll conducted by Project Pulse, a
unit of the UMass Student Affairs Research and
Information Services (SARIS).
Designed to assess undergraduate student attitudes
toward GLB issues and perceptions of homophobic
behavior on campus, the poll shows that, although
many students know GLB individuals and have a pos-
itive percepticm of them, many also report having
encountered homophobic behavior on campus.
According to a SARIS report, Project Pulse began the
survey with a pool of 1,134 UMass students "random-
ly selected from Ihe undergraduate population." On
May 13, 1994, a team of Project Pulse employees man-
aged to reach 536 of the students by telephone.
Of the 456 who agreed to be interviewed for the
survey, S3 percent were female, 47 percent male. All
but 31 of the students identified themselves as het-
erosexual.
The sampling error of the survey is estimated at
plus or minus 4 percent.
The vast majority of those polled indicated that
they had had close relationships with GLB individu-
als. 93 percent reported having met someone who is
GLB, and 65 percent said they had a relative or close
friend who is GLB.
For many students, attendance at UMass seems to
have altered their understanding of GLB issues. Asked
how their attitudes toward GLB people had changed
since coming to UMass, 35 percent indicated that
their views had become "more favorable." 61 percent
said their attitudes had "remained the same" and 4
percent said they had become "less favorable."
Whether or not their attitudes have changed, the

coming to UMass, 55 percent of those polled said they
had learned either "some" or "a great deal.'" 45 (x-r-
cenl told Project IHilse that what they had learned
amounted lo "not much.':
In another portion of the survey, Project Pulse
attempted to gauge student perceptions of homopho-
bic behavior on campus. Poll results show that, as per-
ceived by undergraduate students, homophobic
behavior is pervasive and comes in several different
forms.
Asked "to what extent anti-GLB attitudes exist on
the UMass campus," 81 jjercenl of Ihe undergraduate
surveyed reported that homophobic attitudes existed
"to some extent" or "to a great extent."
31 percent said that they had encountered other
students stereotyping Cil.B people or making negative
comments about them, while 10 percent said they
had seen "anti-GLB graffiti." 4 percent reported hav-
ing had instructors who stereotyped or made negative
comments about GLB people. 1.7 percent said they
had seen University staff display such attitudes.
Another portion of the survey asked students to
either agree or disagree with several statements that
involved GLB issues. Data from this section showed
97 percent of undergraduates against "laws prohibit-
ing gay, lesbian, and bisexual relationships."
Ninety-five percent indicated that they were also
against laws prohibiting GLB people from leaching in
public elementary schools.
Nearly two thirds of those polled told Project Pulse
that they thought Cil.B people should have the right
to be legally married, and 57 percent said they
thought (iLB people should be allowed fo serve open-
ly in the U.S. military.
majority of those polled reported that (iLB issues
come up frequently during the course of their daily
lives. 51 percent of undergraduates said they had
classes at UMass that dealt with GLB issues, and 73
percent reported discussing GLB issues with friends
outside of class.
The high level of exposure given to GLB Issues is
evident in the results of another poll question. Asked
how much they had learned about GLB issues since

e-mail are invaluable to my feeling
of connectedness. I have a great
circle of close lesbian friends (and
v)me great straight ones, too, I
might add) because of them. Ihe
info I gel IS iin|)onant as well, as I
don't read newspapers on a regular
basis. The computer was an easy
way to hook up with other like-
minded people. I'm curious if pcH>-
ple feel like its a relatively safe way
lo come out? Not that that's ever a
problem for me — ha! But since
there's an element of invisibility, is
il easier?
AKLOWRV, Ans. 2 — This
forum has given me the chance lo
bv in Ihe minority. Before reading
the notes [xistecl here, 1 didn't feel
I was gelling a good picture of
what il meant to be anvthing
other than heterosexual. I think
our stKiety discourages alternative
lifestyles far too much and that a
forum like this gives gays (lesbians,
etc.) a chance to discuss things
freely |in a place) where heterosex-
uals can see and realize that this
huge difference fx-tween lifestyles
reallv isn't that big at all
Wi)ARLIN(i, Anonymity, sort
of — I definitely think Ihe relative
anonymity of all this is an asset. I
mean, people who might never
come to a meeting or buv a gay
magazine can cruise around Ihe
net without anyone ever seeing
them. How d<K's this "facelessness"
work for you?
RBENSON, Not that we don't
use our imaginatlims — I love it!
I can totally be myself here. I can
say what 1 please and it 1 piss
someone off, 1 don't take the
equally anonymous responses per-
sonally. Also, iH-ing free from visu-
al stereotyping is lilK'rating. People
respond — or at least / do — lo
each other as humans. You have lo
ask if someone is gay, straight,
male, female, differently abled,
etc. You can't just assume.
LJOHNSON, lerrific! — The
|H'ople I've met in GI.BI Notes
helped me feel at home here at
UMass. I've made some special
friends and hojH' to meet new ones
every day. 1 feel connected tf) Ihe
gay, bisexual, lesbian, transgender
community because of Notes. I like
the anonymity of the responses
because, as Rita said, ""people
respond to each other as humans."
I also think this computer stuff is a
great way for people to come out
among friends.
WDARLING, that? — Have
either of you every talked to (il.BT
people on any kind of chat soft-
ware? What was that like?
RBENSON: Nope. — I haven "t
This stuff alone can get addicting.
But 1 know there"s lots out there if

purposes of the article, Rita, not
for her own use.
RBF.NSON, Ummm, Alec? —

I've used chat software, and it is

continued from page 7
And then I told her [I'm gay|... And she was like, Well, 1 hope you don't
get AIDS!" And she said a hunch of other offensive stuff and to this day she
is still rather offensive. I mean, she's m\ mother and I still love her, I still
try to maintain some sort of relationship, hut it's difficult because we're
about 180 degrees apart on a lot of things, and as tar as my own dignity
goes... I don't have much tolerance for people who are offensive. "
Reactions on campus: "Some people who are more ethically sophisti-
cated and thoughtful tend to react either like Well, that's fine with me' or
like 'Cool, whatever..." Peoi)le who are not so ethically sophisticated and
have sort of unquestioningly accepted the norms of the society probably
don't react favorably. Inn that's their jiroblem, "cause they aren't going to
get to know me and it's their loss "
Issue that gets buried: "One of the things [people in mainstream gay
and lesbian politics] really seem to have stopped pushing as an issue is the
Intuitions into gender that I think all queer people have naturally I mean,
if you're a queer man, you're obviously not an orthodox man, because
desiring men nr getting fucked is not something a man is supposed to do.
So even if you try to deny and you try to s.i\ gay men can be just as mas-
culine as straight men or gay and lesbi.in people are just like everyone
else... I'm just like 'No, gay and lesbian people are not like everyone else.
We have special intuitions into sixiety that we need to be bringing to the
table instead of just saying Accept us, we're mainstream, we present no
threat to the order of gender, |etc.|.'
If everyone "got over it": "For cxeryone tmlv to get over homosexuality,
a lot of things would have to happen... So homophobia will not In- elimi-
nated until gender inequality, the patriarchy and the gender stratification we
have in our society are gone, because that's the root cause of homophobia

Top 10 Red Sox Excuses for Losing
Play-offs
1 0. Stayed up too late Thursday night
watching "ER."
9. Couldn't concentrate because of
the noise coming from the Rathskeller
(personal joke... sorry).
8. Hallucinogenic drugs placed in
water made each player triink that they
sow the talking dolphin in the stands.
7. What do you expect? We're the
Red Sox...
6. Shirtless, drunken fans with rain-
bow wigs more distracting than usuol.
5. Had 0 few too many with Ted
Kennedy before the game.
4. (Insert own jcx:k itch ioke here).
3. Rats the size of smoll cattle terror-
ize locker rcx>ms.
2. Too distracted listening to the
sound of the Patriots sucking.
1 . Mo Vaughn & Jose Canseco (tie).

UMass holds National Coming Out Day events
Colorado amendment
goes tx) High Court
By Lourie Asseo
Atsocioled Press
WASHINGTON— Colorado's .solicitor gen-
eral ran into skeptical questions from several
Supreme Court justices Tuesday when he
argued the state'.s citizens have the right to pro-
hibit laws that protect homosexuals from dis-
crimination.
"I would like to know whethc»r in all of U.S.
history there ha.s ever been anything like this."
lustiu.- Ruth Bader Ginsburg told the state's
lawyer. Timothy M. Tymkovich. whii asked the
high court to reinstate the ban.
Tymkovich did not provide a specific exam-
ple. But he argued that voters have the right to
bar all state and local laws giving homo$:exuals
"special protection" from bias in housing,
employment and public accommixlations.
The case is the most important involving
homosexual rights to come before the court in
nearly 1 0 years.
In a 1992 referendum. 5 5.4 percent of
Colorado voters approved the amendment to
the states constitution. But the Colorado
Supreme Court invalidated the amendment
before it could take effect, saying it denied
homosexuals an equal voice in government.

March for Lesbian and Gay Right- in Washington.
n.C . National Coming Out l>ay is seen by many
GI.B people as a day lo "come out" to family.
friends, neighbors, ;md even enemies.
National Coming Oul Day is about "trying lo

At UMass tnday, three separate events are sched-

first, beginning at noon, there will be a
National Coming Out Day rally on the Student
Union step- The rally is spimsored by the Lesbian

and about other- GI.B issues.
A second event cnmniences at 4 p.m outside the
Stonewall Cenler in Cianiptnn Hnuse. Southwest,
with the unveiling of a new outdiKir mural.
According lo the acting director of the Stonewall

The results of a 1994 poll conducted by the
UMass Student Affairs Research and Information
Service revealed that only 55 percent of UMass -tu-

this percentage may increase.

The Ma-sachusells School of Law
(MSI.) has filed a lawsuit against the
American Bar Assiiciation (ABA) in

The complaint also names MSL
competitor New Fngland School of

The Dean nf New ({ngland SchiKil
nf Law, Innalhan O'Brien, said his
schiKil had nn pari in the alleged con-

S'ltlionul loiiriuil of Law. any sugges

ing the Massachusetts School of Law
is pure nonsense," O'Brien said.
O'Brien could not comment fur-
ther because the case i- still in litiga-

A decree has been filed by the
lustice Department lo look further
into the alleged mishandlings nf the
accreditation process by the ABA.
The lustice Department first start-

and hillowed with a lawsuit against
them in lune 1995. Usually the suit is
brought and settled nn the same day,
however in this case the ludge decid-

the anti-competitive practices and
wants further hearings to be held,
MSL spokesman Kurt Olson said.
According to the MSL, the consent
judgement filed by the government is
a step forward. But the lines drawn
appear to be Iimi vague.
Now the MSL is worried the
decree is unclear, and its inherent
weaknesses may he undermined by
the very people who violate it The
MSL feels the ABA can "exploit the
weaknesses lo continue their

enjoyed by everyone else the chance
to seek protection from discrimina-
tion.
Tymkovich said Colorado vyiers
approved the amendment in response
to the success homosexuals had in
winning enactment of anti-bias ordi-
nances in Denver, Boulder and
Aspen.
But justice David H. Souter was
skeptical.
"Why is discrimination against one
group dealt with under state law dif-
lerentlv than disciimination against
other gr\)ups''" he askc-d.
lustice lohn Paul Stevens added,
"What is the rational basis for the
people obtside of Aspen telling the
people in Aspen thev cannot have
this nondiscrimination provision'.'"
lustice Antonin Scalia appeared
more sympathetic to Tymkovich's
argument that ordinances protecting
gays against bias constitute special -
not equal - protection.
'They are laws that provide special
protection to that particular category
ol person," Scalia said. Other forms
of discrimination are not banned, he
said, adding that employers can
refuse to hire someone "because you
don't like the way they comb their
hair."
Scalia asked Dubofsky why, it
stales can outlaw homosexual con-
duct. Colorado cannot bar legal pro-
tections for homosexuals. Chief
justice William H. Rehnquist. partici-
pating in his first argument since
undergoing back surgery, asked her
whether states could respond to
political activism by Morinons by
passing a constitutional amendment
that says polygamy will always be
illegal. Such an amendment would be
permitted, Dubofsky said, because it
would not restrict Mormons' partici-
pation in the political process in the
same way the Colorado amendment
atfecis homosexuals. The case does
not address the morality or legality of
homosexuality or gay conduct. But
the justices' ruling, expected by |uly.
could indicate their views on the con-
tinuing validity of the high court's
I486 ruling that let states outlaw
consensual homosexual conduct.

undermine ihc decree itself.
In response, MSI. has filed a
itK'iion in the Federal District Court
in Washington, D.C. requesting to be
permitted to appear as either an ami-
cus curiae ("friend of the court') or
as iniervenor in the governmenl's
lawsuit against the ABA. The hearing
between the ABA and the lustice
Department will be held in
November.
"We fcx'l the anticompetitive prac-
tices haven't been cured. There's still
potential for wrong doing here."
Olson said.
The guvcmment has addrcssc-d the
MSL's complaint concerning law pro-
fessor's salaries, restricting the AHA
from collecting salary information.
There is also a provision for an
antitrust compliance officer to super-
vise the aba's compliance with spec-
ified terms of the decree. Olson said.
But the point of entitlements has not
satisfactorily been met according to
MSL standards.
The terms of the decree do not
include those dealing with what the
MSL terms the ABA's most anticom-
petitive practices. The MSL sights
errors in student/faculty ratios,
expensive physical facilities, compcn
sated sabbaticals, unjustifiably low
limits on teaching hours and the ban
on for-credil bar review courses.
Olson said he hopes these issues
will be addressed and corrected at
the November hearing.
The MSL's lawsuit seeks treble
damages for willful misconduct
under Chapter 93A of Massachusetts'
General Laws. Single damages are
estimatc-d al $3U million while treble
damages are at $90 million for "rev
enues lost in the past, present and
foreseeable future because of the
defendants actions," the MSL said.

for Gay. Lesbian. Bisexual and
Transgendered folk to let their family .

leagues or the whole world, know
they "re queer.
I put off willing this until the \erv
last minute, because the fear I fell

putting the words. "I'm queer." on

Coming out is a process that occurs
over the span of a lifetime Eiecause
we live in a scKietv that shun.s sexual

ly. the need to keep quiet about
queemess is very strong. Coming out
today is also a way of truly accepting who I am and what I
believe in.

But most will find that the important people in their lives,
the ones who really matter and care about them the most,

For myself, this is the beginning of accepting who I
am and who I want to love. Being a
bisexual means I can find caring and
loving relationships with people of
either gender. For those of you with
dirty minds, that does not mean I'm
into menage a trois Of course most
bisexuals are monogamous and stud-
ies show they generally prefer one
gender more than the other, but
there are exceptions to every rule.
Personally. I believe in long, monog-
amous relationships. I don't bounce
from person to person.
The other important thing to
remember about gay people is that
our lives are not just about sex or
being gay. We are well rounded peo-
ple who simply happen to find happi
ness in caring relationships with peo-
ple who are the same gender as us. I
don't major in being gay. As a matter
of fact. I'm not even in a relationship
at this ptiini and I'm not particulariy

date now and then, but who
wouldn't?

true I really feel that a tremendous weight has been lifted
off my shoulders,
I know who I am. and I'm proud of it Each day I grow
a little stronger and more confident of who I am — that's

Re-establishing a Jewish identity
Jacob W.
Michaels
A^ I sit at the terminal typing
this editorial. I can feel the
hunger pains in my stomach
telling me I need to eat something
I'm spending the day fasting
because of a religious holiday, ^om
Kippur It's traditional for jews to
fast on the holiday so we can think
about our sins and how to atone for
them.
\ex. at the same time. I'm not very
religious. I don't really
believe in sin or atone-
ment or really any-
thing having to do
with this holiday So.
why do I fast''
Av one friend said to me.
what lews do." That was it
whole explanation lust. "It's what
jews do."
As a simple answer, it works pret-
ty well. I fast because that's what
thousands of lews have done before
me. and what thousands will do after
me.
But even that doesn't really explain
it. There are many more emotions
involved and reasons why I. and
many other not-so-religious jews.
choose to starve themselves for a sin-
gle day.
Not being very religious. I consider
•Its
the
myself a "cultural lew," Cultural lews
are people who consider themselves
lewish and identify with other lews,
but aren't interested in going to ser-
vices, or following various rules laid
out in the Torah and Talmud.
But some people claim following
those rules are what makes a person
lewish. and by not following them.
I'm not really lewish.
It isn't pleasant having someone tell
you you're not what
you say you are.
So fasting is a way
for me to feel lewish.
It's the same reason
why I don't eat leav-
ened bread during Passover.
Kven though I might ignore the
normal dietary restriction by eaiing
pork, shellfish, and meat and milk
together, when there are special addi-
tional restrictions placed I try to fol-
low them.
On the outside it helps show other
lews that I do consider my religion
important.
More importantly, fasting renews
my commitment to my religion. By
being willing to sacrifice a day of
food, and be uncomfortable and hun-
gry for 24 hours, I remind myself that
being lewish is more important than
being comfortable for a day. It helps
me re-establish my Jewish identity
with all the other lews around the
world who are doing the exact same
thing.
They all feel the same gnawing
hunger in their stomachs, and at the
end of the day they all celebrate
together as they break their fast in a
celebratory meal.
These are people who. although I
may never have met them, already
know something about me. Across
the world lews greet each other in
the same way. and we have similar
concerns about topics such as
Israel, inter-faith marriage, and
more.
Being in a mostly non-lewish com-
munity it is an important link. It
reminds me of what is good about
ludaism when often times the focus,
especially on this campus, is with
problems.
So that is why my stomach spent
all of Wednesday empty and growling
at me. It sacrificed so I could get in
touch with an important part of my
identity, that sometimes seems to be
buried by the other concerns of my
life.

Mourning Columbus Day
Sam
McAfee
The arrival of Christopher Columbus in the
Americas marked a significant change in the rela-
tionship between F.urope and the rest of the
world. For the European elite it meant power, wealth and
economic prosperity, while for indigenous peoples in
Asia. Africa and the Americas it meant colonialism,
poverty and economic dependence.
The Third Wt)rld today is very much a product of the
colonial era. as is the United States itself. The horrible con-
ditions in which much of the world's popula-
tion live, as well as the relatively high stan
dards of living in industrialized nations
reflect a relationship of power and submis
sion between the colonizers and the colo-
nized that was established all over the world,
and in many ways is still in effect.
I 111 the most part. Third World nations, and parts of
the United States and liurope. continue to play a service
role, established by European colonialism, as providers of
raw materials and cheap labor for Euro-American indus-
try.
The trend for European colonies often started with the
displacement of native people, either by disease, slaughter
or forced removal, who previously had depended on the
land for the pitKluction of fotxl.
The land was instead used for agricultural and mineral
exports to the "mother country," The displaced people
would either stay and work the land for the colonizer
under brutally exploitative conditions, or migrate to the
cities to work, among the ranks of landless laborers,
under equally unpleasant circumstances.
Some of the native population were able to climb the
colonial hierarchy and obtain elite positions within the
system working for the colonizer.
After the independence movements of the colonies, it was
in the hands of these elite classes that control was usually
left. The country would remain in its service role position,
exporting raw materials to F.urope and the United States.
Afier World War II. the Development Era began, fur-
ther entrenching the poverty and dependence of the Third
World. Experts from the U.S. and Europe prescribed
rapid industriali7.ation and export-based production as a
solution to Third World "underdevelopment."
This strategy was attractive to the elite
classes of these nations, since they con-
trolled much of the agriculture and indus-
try, and would benefit from massive export
policies. Food would be imported from the
First World, while timber, minerals and
agricultural products, like coffee and rubber, would be
puxluced for export. Little consideration was given to the
distribution of wealth in these former colonies.
Today's hunger problem is more a result of inadequate
distribution rather than a lack of food. The overwhelming
majority of arable land is in the hands of large farm own-
ers and multinational corporations who use it to increase
their profits. While sufficient food is produced, it is
exported in an attempt to relieve the country's debt.
The gap between rich and poor is widening, within and
between nations, perpetuated by international develop-
ment policies which seek to increase output in Third
World economies, but not redistribute assets.
Until redistribution of wealth is given serious consider-
ation, there is likely to be little improvement in the living
conditions of the majority of the world's population. If is
for these reasons that Columbus Day and the colonialism
that followed his "discovery." must be carefully examined.

Abuse disregarded in case
A frantic, frightened voice identified herself and
was scared for her life after an episode where
her superstar husband extensively abused her
and probably thought nothing of it.
The 911 tapes said it all.
0.|. Simpson was an abuser.
Although the media has covered every possible angle
of the 0.|. Simpson trial of the century, it is my opin-
ion that the domestic violent
violence
angle of this case was almost com-
pletely ignored.
Following the unbelievable and
shocking not guilty verdict, one of
the jurors on the case. Brenda
Moran, said the case wasn't about
domestic violence, but about mur-
der.
True. Simpson was on trial for
the double homicide of two peo-
ple, but the fact he abused his
ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson for
years should not have been so easi-
ly pushed to the sidelines as it was.
Moran also called the prosecu- .. . , ^,,,-
tion's presentation of evidence ^rv A/n.i ^ ... .
that Simpson battered his wife "a ^' """^ ^ WOman JUror
waste of time." ''" ' '
A waste of time?
Doesn't it seem logical if some-
one beat up his wife for several
years and she. on more than one
occasion, called 911 in a panic
and was more than fearful for her
life, that the defendant would have
a motive for murder?
It most certainly dt)es.
It is completely incomprehensible to regard the hor
rid domestic abuse Nicole Brown Simpson endured as
a "waste of time." It is especially upsetting to me. and
I'm sure to many others, how a woman juror can disre-
gard the domestic abuse testimony as unimportant. To
me. the pattern of abuse explained it all — a definite
motive for murder.
This type of outcome and disregard of abuse is so
typical.

What do you know about ALANA student groups?
■ Students create a nest for Haitian Americans
By Lisa Chiu and Michael Elliott
Collegion Staff
Working together to expose Haitian culture as
well as to provide suppon services to fellow stu-
dents, ihe Haitian American Student Assixiation
(HASAt continues to remain active in promoting
its interests on campus.
Formed in 1984. the organization spent several
years in relative inactivity.
In 1989. the organization re-emerged, starting
with a ^tatf of less than ten. and expanding to the
pie^-nt-day size which is approximately 150.
"When I first came to the organization. I saw a
lot ol potential to make HASA more vi>ible and
accessible to the rest of the campus." said former
President Magali Lamour. "It's been active ever
since." --he added.
I or Haitian students at L'Mass, the organization
ha^ acted as a refuge for those who are over-
whelmed b> the immensity of this institution.
"People are looking for a connection to feel more
comlortable in their environment." said Moise
Tirado. lomier HASA President and graduate stu-
dent of political science at UMass.
The >,>rganization provides counseling and acade-
mic advising to all members, a^ well as the spon-
v.iring of workshops which infomi student^ about
everything — from applying for financial aid to the
empowerment of women in Haitian society.
"We push each other." said Tirado. "We serve as
role models."
Current HASA President Daphne Francois, a
senior biology major, benefited from this support
network and was especially influenced by
Lamour.
"She helped me a lot — I needed her."
Francois said The group "helped me interact bet-
ter with other students, besides Haitians." she
continued.
Following the violence in Haiti in 1991, which
overthrew the elected government with a military
dictator<-hip, this support network became at times
very crucial
Tirado, wht)se cousin was killed in the coup d'etat,
■-aid that the organization assisted him. and others, to
deal with their cimcems for family members vtill i«n
the island.
In addition to peer advising and counseling ser-
vices. HASA offers what Tiradu refer* to as "cul-
tural ^uppon "
"When I came abt.>ard on campus. I wanted to
show people the side of Haiti that I am pi\>ud of."
said Tirado. "It'v one thing to talk about multicultur
alism. it's another thing to show it to others and
apprcviate it."
Last year, two well-known Boston based Haitian
activists, lean Claude Maritneau and Brunir
ShackJelon. came to UMass to speak at the ri-quesi
of HASA; Tirado also spoke at numerous
Five College events.
"We bring people with different perspectives...
to talk about anything and everything," said
Tirado. who emphasized that the diversity of opin-
ion amongst HASA members is reflected by the
speakers the organization draws to campus.
Never forgetting Haitian culture's festive side.
HASA offers the entire campus community gala
events such as Haitian Mgfil and H.ASA-CASA
(Casa Dominicana) Cultural Sight
Working in collaboration with other student
groups, such as Casa Domicana and the Cape
\erdean Student Alliance, these events offer
UMass students an educational, as well as an enter-
taining experience.
For members of HASA, it allows for a harmo-
nious and simultaneous celebration of their own
culture and that of others,
"I saw a variety of cultures." said Franv'ois, "We
wanted to create unity" amongst all groups
involved, she said
Current members remain optimistic about the
future. Franvois lcK>ks forward to increased politi-
cal involvement on campus, while Lamour cites the
large Haitian population on campus who are not
members of HASA as the key to organizations con-
tinuc-d success,
"They all count. It's very important that we
touch base with each and everyone of them." con-
cluded Lamour

Students rally for South Asian representation at UMass
By Lisa Chiu
Collegian Stod
Trying to reestablish present stabili-
ty to an organizatiiin that has suffered
greatly from past neglect could be a
very difficult project to undertake,
Thi-. is an observable phenomenon
with the many registered student
organizations (RSOs) on campus in
general, and with the South Asian
Club in particular.
For the 1995 1996 Executive
Hoard ot the South Asian Club, the
effolt^ to revive thiN once unknown
club remain undaunted.
The mission statement of the South
Asian Club states. "Our main gt>al is
to create a feeling of community
among all the people of the Indian
Subcontinent and this campus."
The South Asian Club represents
the five countries that "define" South
Asia. India. Nepal. Pakistan, Sri
Lanka, and Bangladesh. It serves as
the voice of the South Asian popula-
tion at UMass.
Ashish Desai. Five-College repre-
sentative said, "the main idea of the
club is to hold cultural and social
event", and to promote the cultures
within the five countries which make
up the club."
Prepared with an organized agen-
da loaded with prospective future
activities, the first meeting of the
year met with overwhelming interest
from an audience of approximately
fifty students "This was an infomial
get together, in which old as well
as new members to the flub were
introduced.
Established approximately <ieven
years ago. the South Asian Club never
very well known around the UMass
campus, hopes to reactivate it itself
with many nc-w activities.
Such activities include: participation
in the annual Festival of Lights cele-
bration, held by Professor Ranjana
Devi — a cultural and educatitmal
event for the whole familv. with fiKid.
dancing, and lights: the "Amherst
Exchange." a party to be held next
semester; smaller darKes to be heW in
town.
Also included is active participa-
tion in Asian Night, the annual cele-
bration of Asian cultures sponsored
by the UMass Asian American
Students Association, as well as
working to introduce first -year stu
dents to the various academic advis-
ing and social places on campus for
South Asians
South Asian Club President Rajesh
Pandey also expressed the hope to
donate «ome money either to an
orphanage in the Indian
Subcontinent, or to charities
devigned (or the Indian Subcontinent.
One of last year's events included a
conference hosted at Williams
Ctillege, where South Asian students
from colleges in the New England
area went to discuss issues such as

The Office of ALANA Affairs
(OAA). formerly the Office of
Third World Affairs, was created in
1974 by students concerned with
the quality of life of people of
color, according to Director Nelson
Acosta Funded mostly by the
Student Goveniment AssiK'iation.
the office has gone through several
directors, much controversy, and
an 18- month ^hutdowT1 period
According to Acosta. this inter-
val was due in large part to an
internal restructuring period
because many people saw the
office as a "thorn" on campus
Acosta notes that the office is still
seen as being verv controversial.
The Office of ALANA Affairs i^
now governed by the ALANA
Caucus. The Caucus is made up of
individual student^ who represent
the variouv cultures and races of
the ALANA ciHiimunity Recently
the Caucus was charged with this
responsibility as well as the man
agement of the Office's Reserve
Account to be utilized by R.SOs.
The Caucus is headed by
Internal Coordinator Maurice
Caston and l-'xtemal Coordinator
Lisa Chiu The ALANA Caucus
also has nine seats in the
Undergraduate Student Senate
Acosta. the fifth Director the
Office, is trying to address an
educational agenda as well as its
traditional programming Last
year the OAA hosted an AIA\A
Leadership Conference with a
mcxiest turnout flaving invested
a heavy financial amount into the
conference. OAA went back to
the drawing board and came up
with the ALA\A Lecture Series.
This in turn has drawn lots of
controversy on campus, due to
the speaker selection.
After bringing such speakers
as Louis Farrakhan. Al Sharpton
and Lani Ciuanier to the
University. Acosta respondu to
critics saying. "I expect this
office to be controversial,"
OAA aims to bring speakers to
this campus and "allow audiences
to hear them speak ft)r them-
selves, ask questions for them
selves. The white media evaluates
people of color and paints iheni
the wrong wav Very few leaden,
of the ALANA comniunitv have
been given the respect that they
deserve from the white communi-
ty; (people such as] Martin Luther
King. |r . Pedro Albizu Camps>s.
lesse lackson." Acosta said.
Acosta states that bringing a
controversial speaker to the
University is not "a rubber
stamp " Bringing a speaker does
not mean the office agrees with
everything the speaker says
Another concern for OAA is
the fact that the faculty and stuff
of color are segregated on this
campus. .Acosta cites that faculty
and staff ol color are concentrated
in typical programs for students
of color and are not in the main-
stream "They are in programs
like the Bilingual Collegiate
Program lBCP>. The Committee
for the Collegiate Education of
Blacks and other Minority
StudentstCCEBMSl. and The
United Asia Learning & Resource
Center (UALRCI." he said
Struggling with a limited budget
and limited a-souaes. the Office iif
ALANA Affairs attempts to pro-
vide for the AI.A.NA community.
Acosta emphasizes the fact that he
is the only fulltime staff in an office
which he- feels is understaffed,
Ihe Office offers several ser-
vices to students of color and
ALANA student organizations.
Among these services, assistance
is offered with grant writing for
RSOs Also, the Office provides
help with event publicity and
preparation for budget packets.
In terms of advivating for indi-
vidual students OAA. attempts to
organize and unite students,
speaking on issues such as the
quality of life on campus, finan-
cial aid. public safety or
University housing
The presence of OAA should be
"a positive influence for people of
color, , because |pi-ople ol color|
('truggic every day tO overcome
hurdles that are traditionally high-
er lor I them I than anyone else to
obtain an education." said Acosta,
Members of the AI.ASA com-
munity are encouraged to get

■ A question oi sensitivity
Japan- America Cluh constructs cultural bridges
Cape Verdeans: small yet respected ALANA community
By Zow A^n Oo
Collegion Sloff
In today's world of advanced communica-
tions, many people still have problems just
attempting to understand — never mind
hear — one another.
The need for people of different nationali-
ties to interact with one another has been criti-
cal in shaping multicultural relations, and the
lapan- America Club (|AC) is trying to work to
improve this by bridging relations between
lapan and the United States.
lAC was formed approximately seven years
ago by several lapanese students and
American students studying lapanese linguis-
tics, who then went on to form the lapanese
American Club,
"The name has changed today because of
the trade conflicts betwcx-n the IJnited States
and lapan. We just wanted to go over this
problem and iix)k more on the cultural aspect
of the club." said Danny Ha. president of
lapan-America Club.
The main objective of the group is stated in
Article I, Section A of its Constitution: "to
provide lapanese and other students in the
University of Massachusetts community the
opportunity to learn, understand, and cele-
brate their cultural differences and to discover
and share in their common qualities, ideas,
and beliefs."
Many people may be confused by the repu-
tation of the club, because it may seem to
exclude non-lapanese or non- Americans. The
organization does not feed on exclusions per-
taining to nationalities: rather, it accepts any-
one willing to be apart of the interaction
between lapan and America, according to
Shinya Kinuta. the Vice-President of [AC.
Kinuta wanted to target those who are skep-
tical about the priorities of lAC as a whole. "A
lot of people believe that our club serves as a
language center to teach people lapanese. I
think the campus community should know
that the club is interested in the interaction of
cultures. Culture should come first and lan-
guage should come second. You don't have to
know language to know culture." he said.
Kinuta also explained the goals of |AC.
"We are a club thai likes to get together and
have fun while trying to understand the simi
larities and differences between lapan and the
United Slates, We would like get a lot of peo-
ple involved btxause we respect different cul-
tures and want as much diversity as we can
have." he said.
At the current moment, there are about 50
members in |AC who hold two general month-
ly meetings. Besides this, special meetings arc
set aside to bolster interest in the group. For
example. |AC has planned a speech contest for
non- lapanese students to compete against
one another sometime in the first week of
December.
There is a "language table" set up for
lapanese majors to interact with native tongue
members that takes place every two weeks.
Also, there is a forum, organized by the orga-
nization, that gathers from time to time, for
the purptise t)f exchanging cultures, according
to Kinuta,
"Fvven tough this cultural exchange is not
officially scheduled, it takes place whenever
we interact in or outside the meetings." Kinuta
said.
The lapan America Club plans to expand
the annual event of japan Week with more
exhibits, guest speakers and other programs,
according to Kinuta.
"Our constitution is going through the
prtKess of change." Kinuta said, "in order to
bring in more diverse members and have more
events All these are done to serve the purpose
of bringing more interaction to our club."
In the future. |AC would like to expand its
membership and increase contact between
those who are willing to experience what it is
like to be a lAC member. As the
lapan-America Club members try to further
bridge the gap between lapan and the United
States, they hope also to create as much inter-
action as possible.

At the University there are many
ALANA (Asian, Latino/a. Native, and
African American) student organizations
that focus on their individual cultures
They do so. among other things, to provide
support for the students of their respective
groups as well as to promote awareness
and multiculturalism on this campus. One
such organization is the Cape V'erdean
Student Alliance (CVSA).
"The Cape V'erdean Student Alliance rep-
resents history, tradition and community. At
the University, it's an affirmation that we
have been here, and will ctintinue to make
our presence known. Through the various
approaches we hope to promote awareness
by educating and reeducating all of those
who don't know who we are." said Adonis
Ferreira. a recent UMass graduate from
Cabo Verde, former member of CVSA.
Ferreira 's words are exemplary of the
focus of the Cape Verdean Student
Alliance The University has over 50 uiKier-
graduate students and at least four staff
members of Cape Verdean descent
Founded in Septemf)er of 1982. the Cape
Verdean Student Alliance, or CVSA, was
established to address the issues of this
community as well as affirming the culture.
According to Sidonio Ferreira. one of
the CIV founders, CVSA was established to
maintain the Cape Verdean culture at
UMass, Also, he said, "students and staff
felt there was a need to share the Cape
Verdean culture with the rest of Western
Massachusetts, and to promote higher edu-
cation within the Cape Verdean communi-
ty." said l-'erreira.
As the organiz.ation advanced, it estab-
lished a precedent and became a model for
similar organiz.ations later foundc-d at both
the UMass- Boston and UMass Dartmouth
campuses. Northeastern University, Boston
College and Boston University.
CVSA played a key role in the R-cruitnient
of Cape Verdean and other ALANA students
in Boston, New Bedford and Cape Cod, in
conjunction with the UMass Admissions
Office The organization has also spoiixircxi
fundraisers to support scholarships for
incoming Cape Verdean students.
The organization, funded primarily by
Ihe Student Government Association, relies
on proposals sent to other organiz.ations on
campus as well as strong support from
organizjitions in Boston and New Bedford
The Cape Verdean .Student Alliance will
be hosting a "Da-ani Date Social/Auction" in
which dates will be auctioncxj off by CVSA.
In addition, there will be a (ape Verdean
Ntghl In the upcoming spring semester, a
Cape Verdean Week will be hosted.
The Cape Verdean Student Alliance
encourages students to become uclive in
the organization, regardless of natumality
or ethnic background. Meetings are held
on a weekly basis at the New Afrit a House
Shirley l)u Rots Library (2nd floor) on
Thursdays at 7:00 p m.. and all are
encouraged to attend. For more informa-

■ Organization struggles for survival
Shades, a group promoting multiculturalism, is in need of wide support

If you build it. they will come.
That was the philosophy of two students
who devised Shades, an Asian, Latino(a),
African, Native. American (ALANA) regis-
tered student organization (RSO). Dolly
Fernandez and ShaHey Basset established
the organization to "inform, educate, and
celebrate" the minority multicultural com-
munity, according to Fernandez.
Shades' interests lie uniquely in the
ALANA community. Fernandez said that
Shades deals with the issues of students of
color, at all levels — not just the social, for
Shades works at an educational level also.
For example, last year when the UMass
Minuteman newspaper published an arti-
cle about college drop-out statistics, mem-
bers of Shades posted flyers all over cam-
pus correcting statistics they found erro-
neous in the article.
"Usually we try to refrain from politics,"
said Fernandez, for "relationships with one
another come first, then jtheyj get into the
political. It's a ladder. First you bring the
individual members of a community togeth
er. Then you bring together the different
ALANA groups, and finally put everyone
together into the larger scale with the major-
ity," Fernandez said.
But Shades' mission and prosperity may
be short-lived. According to Fernandez, a
co-founder and co-president, the group
suffers from a severe lack of funding. She
said that they tried tapping into many
.sources such as the Student Government
Association (SGA), but received only a
minimal amount, due to an increase in the
amount of new RSOs competing for the
same resources.
Shades is also attempting to accumulate
money through other means, such as fund
raisers and by writing proposals to other
RSOs.
"We have a lot of things in plan but
right now we are basically leaving it open
to anyone who wants to come and put a
project together," Femindez said.
Although the SGA ratified the R.SO sta-
tus of Shades last semester. Fernandez said
that the group has been doing "under-
ground" work for some time. "We have
being helping people contact other people
and h(X)king them up with the necessary
organizations to accomplish their pro-
jects." she said.
Last year, Shades helped with the event
of Black Homecoming, according to
co-founder and also co-president Sharley
Basset. The Sugar Cane Festival was a soc-
cer game and barbecue that Shades also
was involved in This year the organization
will be helping with these two events once
again.
Currently about 20 to 50 students par-
ticipate in Shades. Among the future activ-
ities, an informal lecture series on themes
of community empowerment is being
planned, said Fernandez.
For more information on Shades and
how to gel involved in the group, contact

Oh. ihc Bcailcs Twenty five years after they broke,
their influence can be heard on countless bands from

trio with a rhvming name are revpunsible for releasing the
catchiest Bcatle-esquc pop album of the year. Recorded in
their home studio, the sclf-iiiled album is packed with I 5
golden nuggets
Since lomiing two and a half >cars ago. the band has

The band is led by guitarist Tony Goddess who on past

Shivka Asthana and Keith Gendel share along in the fun!
Goddess commented on the added vocals. "We realized
that all pop music is about the glorification of the human
voice." And boy do the> glorify it. Their vocals are taken
from the lonathon Richmond and Moc Walker school of
voice - a bit out of key but sung deep from the soul.
Sing-a-long tracks such a>. "Kids Don't Lie." "After all"
and "Lame To Be" arc absolute pop masterpicxes that will
engage you to cherish these tunes for ever. These songs
are so immi-dialely appealing and familiar il is almost like
listening to your tavorile Beatles album for the first time.
Tunes such as "Possibilities" and the opening track. "Guys

Could this be the start of a p^.p revolution where bands

Collegion Staff
The Augusta Savage Gallery cel-
ebrates its 25th anniversary this
year with performances and
exhibits that examine different cul-
tural perspectives and viewpoints.
The gallery was founded in 1970
by the Afro-American Studies
department, and is a program of
the Fine Arts Center and the
WEB. Du Bois Afro-American
Studies Department. It is named in
honor of the much respected and
influential sculptor .Augusta
Savage. Her contribution to
African-.American an is extremely
noteworthy. ParticulaHy significant
is the role that Savage played in htr
community as Director of the
Hariem Community An Center.
The gallery which contains the
oldest and one of the largest spaces
acts as a suppon base for students
and professors, as well as being a
home for local and international
anists. Curator Terry lenoure has
been with the gallery for five years
Recently, the gallery's range has
expanded from African-American
art to a more multi- cultural
approach.
"I look for diversity, and a wide
range of an forms and cultures lo
be represented," lenoure said.
Ellora Patnalk. a classical Indian
dancer, will pertorm at the gallery
on Wednesday. October 1 I at 7
p.m.
Painaik began her dance training
at the age of seven under the guid-
ance of her mother. Chilralekha
Patnaik. She has also studic*d inten-
sively under the leading gurus of
the Odissi style, including
advanced work in expressive
dance-acting (abhinayai with the
famous dancer Padmasri Sanjukia
Panigraha.
Odissi is classical dance form
from Orissa. a state located in the
Eastern part of India. The sculp
turesque and frieze dance poses are
found in the temples of Orissa and
date back to the second centurv
B.C. Odissi movements are charac-
terized by the "S" shape the body
makes in a "tribhanga" pose. The
dance is accompanied by the
folk-like rhythms of the
"pakhawaj," a two-headed drum.
In the 20th century, especially
since the India's independence,
there has been a great interest in
the revival of Odissi dance. As a
result, this an form has received
International exposure. The grace-
fulness and lyrical beauty have
made it tremendously popular, not
only with students and performers,
but also with audiences all over the
world.
The next major event sponsored
by the Augusta Savage Gallery will
be a two-pan series entitled "Black
and Puerto Rican: Urban
Images/Multiple Forms" in collabo-
ration with Professor Cvnthia

Simpson rumor
creates problems
By Javier Moymi
Associated Press
LA ROMANA. Dominican Republic — Maybe
01. Simpson isn't getting man-ied alter all in "the
nominican Republic. But the flap over his rximored
arrival has lX)minicans wondering again whether
this nation really ought to be an international conve-
nience store lor quick, hassle-free weddings.
A quick marriage here costs $500 and 15 min-
utes Il requires one witness and a simple dcxlara-
tion that neither partner is already manned. There's
no messy union of the bride's and grxjom's money.
Untying the knot is slightly more expensive: a
divorce costs about $1 .200 and six hours, according
to jawyer-lo-the-stars Manuel Espinoza.
"We have allowed marriage to become just anoth-
er game." said the Rev. Sebastian Cavalolto. a
Roman Catholic priest from llalv who has preached
here for > I years.
"It upsets me that the Dominican Republic is seen
by ihe world as a trampoline in moral issues." said
lo.se Nunez, when asked what he thought of the 0.|.
rumors. Nunez was selling his paintings Monday at
the roadside leading lo the airport.
Getting married here is "plain simple." Espinosa
said. "No hussies and no financial disclosures. You
can get married without having to mix your money
with your spouse, and you can get divorced without
having your spouse here with you."
Espinoza. who says he has handled divorces and
marriages for a brace of celebrities, helped draft
marriage and divoae laws in 1971 and amend them
in I97it He says they benefit "the rich and famous"
ami do not affect Dominican society.
"lis only lor foreigners." he said. "What you read
isn't the reality you live, is it?"
Most LXiminicans marry in the Roman Catholic
t'hurch. which has more complicated procedures.
Legislator lose Vazquez Montero. who represents
La Roniana in the House of Deputies, noted that the
laws make $450 for the government on each
divorce.
'The laws protect a man's wealth if he feels he is
not compatible with his spouse." Velazquez said.
"That shouldn't afftvt the social fabric."
The priest Cavalolli said the laws have helped
"create the social instability that we live with today.
... There is no longer an understanding of family."
The newspaper Listin Diario. which started the
story of a Simpson marriage here, said its report
could help the national debate about the impover-
ished nation's social ills.
"Maybe this incident can serve as therapy. With
the same passion and energy that the Simpson case
was debated on Dominican soil, maybe we can dedi-
cate s«.)nie effort to the problems that affect us every
day." it said in an editorial Mondav.

STEKEOLAB
REFklED EaOPlASM ISWIKHED ON VOL 21
DRAG cm
Stereolah is back to titillate your sen.ses and intoxicate
your brain with their dreamy digitalized mix of french
vocals layered nicely over fc-ed-back. reverberating organs
and skip happy guitar chords.
Upbeat and bouncy. Refried Ectoplasm (Snitched on
Vol 2) is a must have for Stereolah fans who haven't been
able to gel their hands on some of the best sounding sin
gles around. TTie album is a coy collection of nine tracks
from five different Stereolah singles combined with two
tracks from various artist's compilations and sauced with
two unrelcased tracks for added flavor.
A couple of years ago Slumberland Records released
Snitched On. collecting their first three singles that were
originally released on Too Pure. Both volumes serve as
excellent introductions lo this excellent band because
Stereolah is at heart a single band. And almost ail of their
best work has appeared originallv on 7 inch or 10-inch
vinyl.
One of the highlights from the album is "Mountain." a
stunning catchy tune that captures the mood-based band
at their best Originally released on Teenbeal Records on
a very rare split single with Unresi. the single was never
sold in stores and only available for a short time at their
live shows.
Another great song. "Le Boob Oscillator" is also taken
from another rare single which was released on Sub Pop

LONDON — Signs alert villagers
lo "air raid precautions." but the
smoky dance hall air is thick with
another kind of anticipation as
English women in wartime get lo
know black American GIs.
Travis Holloway. an Oklahoman
working as a chef at a U.S. Army
base in England, meets local house
wife Maggie Leyland, head of the
welcoming committee. They share a
wallz and, from there, launch an
affair while Maggie's husband,
Edward, is away in ihe navy. And
though Edward himself a philander-
er - would disapprove of his wife's
adiillery in any conlexl, his reaction
is intensified because Maggie is
while, and Travis black.
The film builds lo a courtroom
conclusion in which bolh races lose
out. Only lime, the script suggests,
can begin to mend a tragic wrong.
The film, an HBO Showcase- BBC
co-production, stars Courlney B.
Vance and Kerry Fox. with singer
and actor Harry Bilafonte on ham! as

Belafonte said by telephone from
New York that he was drawn lo "The
Affair" by its Iresh setting.
"Too many films have continued to
reflect an idea that the dominant
energy and dominant force of black
life in America is urban violence." he
said, "and we have begun lo look
rather one dimensional as a people
The idea of urban violence is begin-
ning to wear thin."
By contrast. Belafonte said, "The
Affair" was "very, very delicate."
Black men in World War II. he
said, had lo confront both white
American soldiers as well as ihe
British. "There were incredible
strains put among people." Belafonte
said.

'I like actor pieces." said Vance, a

"This is about an interracial rela-

it's about trying lo find an equilibri-

that "The Affair" had moved away
from the conventions of city violence
"I'm playing a human being a

"I'm not playing a criminal or the

I'm playing a man thai has gone off

it's a damn shame I have lo come
over to England to do this."
Co-producer John Smilhson said
"The Affair" was a natural Anglo
American co- venture.
"Where co- product ions start gel-
ting into trouble is where you have lo

Englishman working for the third

"The madness of guns has been rampant in society for
decades," Kennedy said. "Yet, for the first time, ordinary
citizens are crying out that they've had enough."
Terri Titcomb, whose son was killed Nov. 22, said get-
ting any gun off the street could save a life and spare
another family from a hun that never goes away.
"I didn't know there was a gun out there that had his
name on it," she said. "We've been trying to gel ihe pieces
together, but to tell you the Injth, I don'l think it will ever

in the guns at police stations are given amnesty from illegal

rock group ZZ Top stole part of a song he wrote.
The Citadel, founded in Charleston. S.C. in 1842. was
ordered by a federal appeals court last April lo admit
Faulkner as a cadet if the state did not establish a compa-
rable program for women at another school.
Faulkner joined the cadet corps in August but soon
dropped out. citing severe stress.
Lawyers for The Citadel argued that her appeal was
moot. So did the Clinton administration, which has sued
in an effort to open The Citadel to women.
Faulkner's lawyers had contended her appeal was not
moot because she still wants to attend the Citadel if other
women are admitted. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals had relied on its ruling in the VMI case when it
said the Citadel could keep women out only if a similar
program were offered to women.
This fall, a state-financed women's leadership program
was opened at Converse College, a private women's col-
lege at
Spartanburg. S.C. A trial has been scheduled for
November on whether the program is an acceptable alter-
native lo admitting women to the Citadel.
Faulkner's lawyers told the Supreme Court the Citadel
cannot keep women out by offering a "separate but
unequal program for women that lacks the prestige or
reputation of the Citadel." Excluding women violates the
Constitution's equal protection guarantee, they said.
The Clinton administration, in addition to arguing ihal
Faulkner's appeal was moot, also said her Supreme Court
appeal was premature because lower courts have not yet
ruled on the Converse College program.
South Carolina's appeal said the 4th Circuit court
lacked authority to a-quire creation of a separate program
for women in exchange for keeping them out of the
Citadel. Neither Faulkner nor the Clinton administration
sought such a program, they said. The case Faulkner vs.

Castro applies to attend UN anniversary
By George Gedda
Associated Press
WASHINGTON— Cuban President Fidel Castro
has applied lor a visa to attend the United Nations'
50th anniversary festivities, the Slate Department said
Tuesday. U.S. officials said it probably will be
approved.
The application, presented Monday at the U.S.
diplomatic mission in Havana, is under review, depart-
ment spokesman Nicholas Bums said.
As host country for the United Nations, approval
of visa requests from heads of state is virtually auto-
matic. None has been turned down in United Nations
histor>\ officials said. U.N. spokesman |oc Sills said
refusal of a visa request would be a violation of U.S.
responsibilities to the United Nations.
More than 100 heads of state and government are
planning to attend the anniversary celebration, includ-
ing President Clinton who, along with Castro, is sched-
uled to sf>cak on the morning of Oct. 22.
Clinton also will host a reception for his fellow
dignitaries but Castro is not expected to be on Ihe
guest list, officials said. Cuban officials have not been
invited to U.S. govemmeni-sponso!\ ' : ' '
for years.
The only previous visits by CaMrn K' ihi i iiiiai
Nations were in 1%0 and 1979. He made the latter
visit as head of a Third World group of nations ostensi-
bly not aligned to either the United States or the Soviet
Union. His only visit to Washington occurred in 1959,
three months after the triumph of his revolution
As a visiting head of slate. Castro is enuilcd to
U.S. protection, and officials said the adininisiralinn
takes that responsibility very seriously.
Senate Majority Leader Kob Dole. R-K.!
urged Clinton not lo grant a visa to Castro, telling a
gathering in Miami last month it would be inc'oiisi>lcnl
with the U.S. policy of pressuring Cuba "The lusi pres-
ident to grant Castro a visa was |jmm\ C.iiici." In.
said. "We shouldn't allow President Clii;
the same mistake."
Bill with abortion clause is attacked
By John Diamond
Associated Press
WASHINGTON— The fax machines hummed in
Republican lawmakers' offices with a message from the
National Right to Life Committee: Defeat a $243 billion
defense bill because of a single clause on abortion.
Although it seemed a long shot, since Republicans had
a chance to support one of their lop priorities - increasing
Pentagon spending ■ House conservatives hccxled the call
and rejected the bill. B> doing so. they sent a message:
Their opposition to abjrtion would not be compromised.
"We hope this sends a signal to the leadership and to
the 'cardinals' (the senior appropriations committee mem-
bers I that these pro-life provisions are not dispensable.'
said Douglas lohnson. legislative director of the National
Right to Life Committee.
The anti-abortion vote has implications beyond the
defense bill: The House appropriations bill for the District
ot Columbia is e-xpecied to contain restrictions on abor-
tion funding.
The House version of a foreign aid spending bill
includes a provision that would deny grants to organiza-
tions that seek to legalize abortion in third-world coun-
tries. The Senate vcTsion would preserve those grants.
Senate moderates are opposing three House provisions
in a health and human services spending bill that would
prohibit federal funding of experimentation on live
embryos, clarify that medical training programs that won't
provide abortion training could still receive federal funds,
and reaffirm that states need not spend their money for
abortions under Medicaid.
Both House and Senate Medicaid reform bills would
restrict the use of Medicaid funds for abortion, but the
National Right to Life Committee expects the Senate to
drop the provision from its bill. -The full House may soon
lake up the first free-standing bill to limit all abortions
since the Supreme Court's 1975 Roe v. Wade decision
Rep. Bill Young. R Fla.. chairman of the House
Appaiprialions defense subcommittee and the loser in the
defense bill battle, said the vote denionstraics the >irengih
of the anti-abortion sentiment in the House, even when it
clashes with leadership priorities. "In most cases, people
may not agree with everything in a bill but will still vote
for it." said Young, who opposes abortion but supported
Ihe compromise in the defense bill reached h> House and
Senate negotiators. "In this case, they decided that their
single issue was more important than the overall bill."
The faxes sent by the National Right to 1 itc Committee
outlined the battle over the delcnse bill: "If the (bill) is
defeated, our conferc-es can go back to the Senate with the
message that the House wants lo end gowrnment pixmio
lion and subsidization of abortion in the military.' The
faxes portrayed the House as the bastion of abortion
opposition against the more liberal Senate.
The National Abortion and Reprixluctive Rights Aclkm
League counts a slim majority ol 218 House members as
"solidly anti-choice" while in the Senate only 45 out of
100 are so ranked. The abortion opponents joined
EX-mocrats in defeating the defense bill 267- 1 5 1 late last
month.
Young and other senior Republicans were unsure how
to revive the defense bill a week later. But he and others
indicated that the solution most likely would require
resolving the objections of abortion foes in the House.
"It's going to be very interesting lo watch lo .sex- if the
Republican leadership buys into the extreme positions of
the Christian Coalition and the National Right to Life
Committee." said |o Blum, political director of NARAL.
The defeat of the defense appropriations bill teprescnis
the kind of idcX)logical tangle Republican leaders hoped (o
avoid. Farlier this year. House Speaker Newt Gingrich
urged Republicans to "sidestep" the jborlion issue when
Henry Foster, a doctor who had performed abortions, wjs
nominated to be surgeon general. "There's no pciini in
picking fights inside your own majority il yciu can avoid
it." Gingrich said.
Now Gingrich says the Republican leadership probablv
will take its cue from the rank and file and insist that the
Senate agree lo its anti-ak>rtion lanpu;ige

THE MASSACHUSETTS DAILY COLLEGIAN
Webber re-signs with Washington
SHEPHERDSTOWN. W.Va. (AP)
— In only two ytars in ihc NBA.
Chris Webber has. been traded twice,
gone tfirough three sets of contract
talks and feuded with his coach.
At the ripe age of 22, Webber is
ready to help his new Washington
Bullets' teammate, Rasheed Wallace,
avoid similar pitfalls.
"Everybody has a lot to learn, but
being a rookie is a real sensitive situ-
ation." Webber said Monday, shortly
after signing a six-year. $59 million
deal.
"Here's a guy who's one of the
four best players in college going into
the NBA." he said of Wallace. "I'm
really not the type of guy to give a lot
of advice, but if he needs me. I'm
there. The worst thing you can have
is a guy who thinks he knows it all."
It didn't take long for Webber to
teach Wallace a few things on the
court during the team's preseason
scrimmage at Shepherd College
In the first quarter. Webber skied
over the rookie big man for a dunk.
Webber proceeded to lead his blue
squad lo an 84-64 victory over the
white team, which included Wallace
and the Bullets' other coveted young-
ster, luwan Howard.
"I've played with Rasheed alreadv
so I know he probably wouldn't take
it the wrong way." Webber said. "We
were out there goofing off and work-
ing hard and it wasn't a-ally me show-
ing him up or him tr>ing to show me
up. He's the one I'll be going to war
with. That's my big fella."
Wallace understood.
"That was all in fun." he said. "I do
it. too."
Wallace, the fourth pick in the
II'Jt draft out of North Carolina,
had a pair of dunks in the second
hall, the second a tomahawk slam off
a no-look pass from Howard.
"1 think by having Chris, luwan
and myself on the court we can have
contests with stuff like dunks or
rebounds." Wallace said. "It will help
us on the court."
Webber, a member of the Fab Five
with Howard at Michigan, said he
was impressed with Wallace's athlet-
ic ability.
"He's going to be one of the ones
out there with me and luwan. It's
going to be great." Webber said.
After two tumultuous years in the
NBA. Webber said he finally feels at
home. The b-foot-10 forward will be
playing with a secure contract, in
front of fans who adore him and for
an owner who admires him.
Webber, traded from Orlando to
Golden State during the 1995 draft,
didn't find happiness in California.
After feuding with then-coach Don
Nelson, he forced the Warriors to
trade him to the Bullets in
November.
The one-year contract he signed
with Washington left him with an
uncertain future, until Monday.
"I've been on like an emotional
roller coaster," Webber said. He
spent much of the offseason working
on conditioning, which clearly
showed in his bulked-up body.
"I lifted more than I ran." Webber
said. "Eight weeks before the season
began ... I startixJ a running program.
After two years in the NBA. I think I
know what it takes tn shape "
The Bullets ended camp Tuesday
and head to Charleston. S.C., to open
the exhibition season against the New
York Knicks.

MONTE CARLO. Monaco (AP) If world track offi-
cials alter the Olympic schedule to benefit Michael
lohnson, they should do the same for t arl I c-wis
That's the gist ul a letter ftx>m joe IXiuglas. manager
01 lewis' Santa Monica Track Club, to the Inleriiaiiimal
Amateur Athletic Icderation.
lohnson is asking the lAAF lo rearrange the schedule
at next year's Atlanta Olympics to help him iry for an
unprecedented gol<i medal sweep in the 20U and 400
meters.
lohnson. who won those two events at this summer's
World Championship^ al CioteKng. Swi-den. wants the
two events separated so that Ihe 400 is completed
before beginning ihe 200
The lAAl alreadv has added 55 minutes between the
200 semifinals and the 400 semifinals, leaving a gap of
2 hours. 55 minutes But lohnson says that is not good
enough.
While kihnson and the lAAF continue lo negotiate.
[>ouglas has intervened on l.t-wis' behalf for what fig
ures to be his final Olympics.
"If the precedent of scheduling changes is in fact
being set. I respectfully request that Carl I.eyvis' oppur
tunity to compete in all of his events be- taken into con
sideralion." Douglas said in the letter made public
Tuesday by the lAAF.
"As the schedule stands now. the 200 meters and
long jump are lo lake place simultaneously I would
request thai the 100 meters. 200 meters and long jump
be separated."
lewis won those- three events al the l>*«4 Olympics
plus a gold medal in the 400 meter relay
Whether he could qualify for all three events at
Atlanta is questionable. Al this year's World
Championships. I ewis failed lo qualify for the sprints
and withtlri-w from the long jump with an injury
The lAAF said it would take up the scheduling
issue at its Council meeting al Monle Carlo in

With the unexpected element of Mother Nature coming
into play, the Massachusetts women's tennis team lost its
first match of the season, 5-4 to Rutgers this Saturday.
The Minutewomen played a disappointing singles
round but began to battle back in doubles before the
rain set in. After winning the first set, the No. 2 doubles
team of lackie Braunstein and Liz Durani were forced
to take the match inside due to the weather. Without
warning, the Rutgers duo of Angelique Matuch and
Stacy Sirovolitz came storming back to take the last two
sets.
"They (Matuch and Strovolitz) played great." assistant
coach Tom Lowry said. "They were four games into the
third set before they realized they were playing so well."
Senior co-captain Licsl Sitton once again played
remarkably winning her No. 1 singles match. 7-5. 6-2.
She also combined with Caroline Steele to win the No. I
doubles inatch in convincing style. 6-2. 6-5.
Braunstein. despite her disappointing defeat in doubles,
continued her incredible rookie season in No. 5 singles
play, winning 6-5. 1-6. 6-2. In only her Ireshman year.
Braunstein shows the qualities of a veteran as she battled
back for the win.
The Minutewomen wrapped up their final win of the
match at No. 5 doubles, as freshman Marie-Christine
Caron and Lana Corodetskaya won 6- 1 . 6-4.
Perhaps the best thing that came out of the match was
the harsh reality that the Minutewomen are a good team,
facing good competition.
"They have to begin to adjust to the competition,"
Lowry said. "It is the type of team that we will be playing
now "
The Minutewomen have the week off before they enter
into the New England Championships this weekend.
Coach ludy Dixon feels that she has a good team this
year and looks for them to have an impressive showing at
the New England Championships this weekend.
Wolcott shuts down Indians
By Ben Walker
A}social«d Press
SEATTLE — All the Seattle Mariners asked Bob
Wolcott to give them was a few good innings. Instead, the
22-year-old rookie gave them a game to remember forev-
er.
Wolcott. pitching because the Mariners had no one else,
pulled one ol baseball's greatest escapes, wriggling free
from a bases-loaded, no-ouls jam in the first inning and
beating the Cleveland Indians 5-2 Tuesday night in their
American League playoff opener.
"It was definitely nerve-wracking." Wolcott said. "It's a
tremendous relief. Anything could have happened. We
could've gotten blown out."
"We used so much of our pitching staff in the other
series. I just wanted to give them a rest." he said. "I have
to admit. I had my doubts in the first inning. But it all
worked out."
Showing poise that belied his baby face, Wolcott •
added to the postseason roster Monday and making only
his eighth major-league appearance - spent the whole
evening putting himself in trouble and then getting out.
The only sign of stress was the sweat creeping out fanher
and farther on the bill of his cap.
"It was hard work out there." he said.
Meanwhile. Luis Sojo's tiebreaking double off Dennis
Martinez in the seventh inning whipped the Kingdome
crowd of 57.065 further into a frenzy, and stopped the
Indians' march through the postseason.
Cleveland will try to gel even in the best-of-7 series
Wednesday night when Orel Hershiser starts Came 2
against Tim Belcher.
At the outset, it looked as if the Indians might run
away with this game. Wolcott, who began the season at
Double-A Port City, walked the bases loaded by throw-
ing balls on 12 of his first 15 pitches to Kenny Lofton.
Omar Vizquel and Carlos Baerga In fact, his first six
pitches were balls, prompting a visit from manager Lou
Piniella.
"He just said try to relax and throw strikes," the right-
hander said. "The same things the manager always says."
Piniella recalled it a little differently.
"1 told him I didn't care if we got beat 11-0." Piniella
said. "I told him we needed five innings."
By then, the weary bullpen, which the Mariners hoped
Wolcott would give a break, was already warming up.
Wolcott had other things on his mind - facing the team
that Itxl the majors in batting, scoring and home runs, he
was about to see the heart of the order.
"I didn't notice who it was. but I knew the 'pen was
going." Wolcott said.
Somehow, Wolcott found a way.
First, he struck out Albert Belle, getting the slugger who
hit 50 home runs to swing through a high. 2 2 lastball.
Next up was Eddie Murray, a career .41 5 hitter with the
bases loaded. Murray, like Belle, swung and on the first
pitch he fouled out.
"As much as anylhing. I think we got a little impatient."
Indians manager Mike Hargrove said.
With the crowd sensing it was seeing something special.
Wolcott ended the inning, thanks to a diving stop by sec-
ond baseman |oey Cora on jim Thome's hard grounder up
the middle.
Wolcott paused for a moment to watch the completion
of the play, then ran off the mound as the Mariners rushed
from the dugout to greet him. First to meet him was
Randy lohnson, who patted the rookie on the chest as
other teammates gathered around.
"We let Wolcott get out of the first inning. That kind of
set the tone." Hargrove said. "We sure knew we missed a
golden opportunity."
After that, the bullpen did its job as leff Nelson and
Norm Charlton preserved the win for Wolcott. with
Charlton going 11-5 innings for a save.
With the score 2-2 in the seventh, lay Buhner doubled
and Mike Blowers reached on a throwing error by Thome
at third. Sojo's double finished off Maninez.
Belle had tied the score in the top half with a monstrous
home run, 441 feet to dead center with one out. That qui-
eted the fans for a moment, though Wolcott quickly won
them back by striking out Murray.
Blowers, who batted just 167 in the first round,
quickly atoned by hitting a two run homer in his first at-
bat of the second round. He put the Mariners ahead 2 0
in the second when he connected after a two-out walk to
Buhner. -^

Devereux, Braves beat Reds in 11
By Joe Kay
Associated Press
CINCINNATI — Alter coming up as empty as
the Riverfront Stadium seals lor most of the
night, the Atlanta Braves knew their lime had
come.
The Braves pulled off their third comeback viclo
r>' of the NL playoffs Tuesday night by turning five
double plays and turning to another unlikely hero.
Mike Devereaux's 1 Ithinning single gave them a 2-
1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds in the opener of
the NL playoffs.
"I don"t think you can be surprised by anything
this team does anymore," starter Tom Glavine said.
"We certainly don"t seem to do anything easy.
Certainly as bad as we may look at limes, there's
just something about (he eighth and ninth thai
brings out the best in our team."
lohn Smoltz, who has beaten the Reds three
times this season, will oppose lohn Smiley, who has
never won a playoff game, in Game 2 on
Wednesday night at Riverfront Stadium.
There were more than lU.UOU empty seals when
the first pitch was thrown Tuesday on a clear. 69-
dtgrix- evening, a sign that baseball still has a long
way to go to win back fans. The Reds sold only
40.582 tickets and had 3.620 noshows.
And the Braves left them filing out silently by
pulling off their third comeback of the playoffs.
David justice tied it in the ninth with an RBI
torceout. and Fred McGriff drew a leadoff walk in
the 11th off .Mike lackson. Luis Polonia sacrificed,
and Devereaux - a late-inning defensive replacement
- lined a single up the middle.
Devereaux. obtained from the Chicago White Sox
last August to improve the Braves' bench, added his
name to their list of postseason heroes.
"It was a great moment for me. since I haven't
been involvix) in postseason play." Devereaux said
"The only thing I thought about was being in a situ-
ation where the game is on the line. After it hap-
Iverson
pened today, I just can't wait for the next time."
It was the game's biggest hit. but not the last
moment of drama Brad Clontz gave up a leadoff
double to Thomas Howard in the bottom of the
I Ith, and Steve Avery - demoted to the bullpen for
the playoffs - came in and walked pinch-hitter
Mariano Duncan. Greg McMichael then got Reggie
Sanders to ground to shortstop, starting a game-
ending double play.
"We could have won that game. We should
have won that game." Reds shortstop Barry
Larkin said. "We blew opportunity after opportu-
nity, especially when you hit into five double
plays."
The two starting pitchers gave the stunningly
small crowd little to chtx-r. Glavine allowed just one
run on Ron Gam's infield single in the fourth, and
Pete Schourek took a four-hit shutout into the ninth
before Atlanta pulled off its third late-inning come-
back of the playoffs.
Reds manager Davey lohnson lei Schourek try for
only his second career shutout, but it quickly back-
fired. Chipper lones or>ened with a single - only the
fifth hit off the left-hander - and took third on
McGriffs single.
lusiice then hii a grounder to second baseman
Bret Boone, who was able only to get the force at
second, lohnson pulled Schourek after he bounced
a breaking ball for a wild pitch on his t02nd
pitch, putting the go-ahead run in scoring posi-
tion.
Cincinnati's defense, which helped Schourek all
night, then saved reliever |cff Brantley. Darren
Lewis, a defensive replacement in center field in the
ninth, went to his knees to steal a hit away on lavy
Lopez's sinking liner.
Brantley got pinch-hitler Dwighl Smith lo Hy out
with the bases loaded, ending the ninth-inning rally.
"No question about it. Pete pitched a heck of a
game." lohnson said. "He had a low pilch count
going into the ninth, and really the guys coming up
there that you wanted him lo face. It was just a mat-
ter of inches (on McGriffs single) or it's a double
play. That's baseball.'
Atlanta's formidable starting rotation was the talk
of the series coming in, but Schourek showed the
Braves don't have a monopi.>ly on pitching.
The night's loudc-st cheers went to Schourek. who
spent most of his career getting booed. The lowly
New York Mets simply gave up on him last season,
shipping him out on waivers.
A new delivery and new confidence turned him
into an 18-game winner and won him the Game I
assignment against a team Ihal pounded him for five
runs in six innings the only other time he faced
them this year.
Things were much different right from the start
this time. Schourek tamed the Braves' predominant-
ly left-handed lineup, allowing just four singles
while striking out eight. Underscoring his domi-
nance, the Braves didn't get a runner to second base
until the ninth.
Glavine was just a shade less effective, allowing
seven hits and one run over seven innings. He
induced four double plays lo extend his streak of
superlative pitching at Riverfront -15-1 with two
no-decisions.
The Reds' only run was set up in the fourth when
Larkin exploited the Braves' defensive strategy.
Atlanta likes lo play Larkin to hit up the middle
or to the opposite field, a strategy ihe shortstop
exploited by pulling a grounder down the third base
line for a leadoff triple. Ganl. a former Brave look
ing for revenge, followed with a grounder lo the
hole at shortstop thai he easily beat out fur his sec-
ond hit of the game.
Ganl was hopping lor joy as he crossed the bag.
and the crowd was roaring when Glavine walked
Santiago on four pitches and grazed Hal Morris'
thigh lo load the bases with one out But Glavine
got Boone to ground into his second double play of
the game, short lo first, to keep it 1-0.
Boone hit into 14 double plays during the season,
lops on the team.

Erica Iverson, who has been one of the keys to UMass defense
which gives up less than a goal a game, has begun to contribute
offensively as well with two goals in her last two games.
legiatc level, came last Wednesday
(Oct. 4) in the Minulcwomen's
blowoul of Yale, 5-0. Iverson worked
a perfect give-and-go with Liz
Rutherford and then proceeded to
boot a JO-foot bomb into the back of
the net. Her tally proved to be the
game-winner. Her second goal came
in the Minuiewomen's next game,
against Rhode Island last Saturday.
"She really attacks more," senior
defender Nikki Ahrenholz said. "She's
getting forward more and she's taking
more shots. She's had two great goals
and she's playing great."
After scoring the two goals in the
last two games. Iverson is showing no
signs of letting up. Her coach doesn't
see any signs either.
"I think your beginning to see the
iceberg here, more than the lip." Rudy
said. "There is no where but up for her
(to go). Erica has a ton of potential.
She's patient and methodical. She's a
very smart kid. Most people look at
her and say 'Oh. she's just a big.
strong, kid.' That's not il. She's a skill-
ful kid. She makes great decisions and
TRAVEL
SMART!
FROM NEW YORK
she reads the game."
UMass has had a history of produc-
ing great defenders and Iverson is just
another in the long line. From Holly
Hellmuth (1992). to Paula Wilkins
(1995), to Heidi Kocher (1994) to
Erin Lynch and now. to Erica Iverson.
The list jusi keeps adding up.
"I just see that she's going lo be
another in the line of great defenders
that have come oul of here." Rudy
said.
After a freshman season in which
she wasn't pleased with her lack of
scoring, a lough spring season, and a
summer of silting ihe bench on a
semi-pro team back home, Iverson
wanted to make a difference this
year.
"Last year. I didn't | score} and I was
kind of upset with myself. So I decided
I wanted to come back and make a dif-
ference, really work hard." she said.
The change in her game has come
from the confidence she has discov-
ered in herself.

these are two i>t the p<.iwer team^ in

"It's been a great rivalry for seven
years now." Hartford coach Austin
Daniels said "The two teani-s are
always competitive. IL'Mas- and

If the Minutewomen are to be suc-

"Chmura i- a fast player that has a

L'Ma-s held its final practice for

"I think we're ready." senior
defender Nikki .Ahrenhol/ said. "This

We're psyched."
"There- definitely a revenge factor
for us going in here." sophomore
defender Krica Ivcrson added. 'I

One telling factor could be the
health of freshman Amanda

big key in controlling the match is
the early play of each team.
"I feel whoever settle- down first

Iverson shows confidence in her second season
By Condice Flemming
Collegian Staff
OAfSMON ^MTTH COlLICtAN
Sophomore defender Erica Iverson and the rest of the Minutewomen travel to Hartford
to take on the 1 0th ranked Hawks in a rematch of last years NCAA tournament game.
The change is evident.
"Last year. I didn't have my confidence," said Erica
Iverson. a sophomore defender on the Massachusetts
women's stKcer team. "I didn't want the ball as a fresh-
man. I wasn't sure if the team had ccmfidence in me. I
was afraid that if I messed up. the team would really
come down on me As a freshman, you're not sure where
you stand on the team or if your pcisition is safe.
"This vear. I feel more comfortable, more confident.
Coach jjim Rudy] ha- confidence in me and I feel the
team ha- a lot more confidence in me."
The .Minutewomen ihoulJ have confidence in her. The
Walnut Creek. Calif native has been outstanding for No.
1 3 UMass so far this season.
"Erica's playing out of her head." junior defender Erin
Lynch said. "She's playing awesome lately — not even
lately. She- been so consistent all year, plus the end of
last year. She's just picked it up. she's training hard and
just playing awesome."
Iverson'- defen-e has been superb. An example coming
in the LMass Classic earlier in the season. Against Texas
A&M with a little over 14 minutes to go and UMass lead-
ing 2 1 . Minutewomen keeper Danielle Dion came out of
net to stop a Aggie shot, but the ball took an unusual
bounce. Before the ball crossed the goal line, however.
Iverson chased it down and cleared it away to pivserve
the win.
Not only has she been steady in the back for UMass.
but Iverson has added an offensive side to her game as
well. During all of la-t season, -he took only five shots in
21 games started. Besides backup goalkeeper Nancy
Kieser. she was the only member of the team without a
point last year.
This year, she's already taken 27 shots in just 10 games
and -he's lied for sixth on the team in scoring with junior
Amv Powell Both have two goiils and two assists for six
points and Iver-on- two goals have come in her last two

Water polo wins two ,
but cant make it three
as Navy sinks UMass
By Fred HuHbrink, Jr.
Collegian Staff
Two-oul-of three ain't bad'
wasn't ('.\m(/y the sentiment after
the Massachusetts men- water
polo team fell to the Midshipmen
of Navy for the second time this
season in the feature match of this
weekend's Minuteman Invitational.
"If there can be a ginid loss, that
was one of them." said UMass
coach Russ Yarworth afier the No.
12 Minulemen came up a goal
short lo No 14 Navy. 7 6.
In its other two matches at the
inaugural invitational. UMass post-
ed ea-v victories over Richmond
and Oueens.
On iheir way to blasting
Richmond. 2'5-n. the Minulemen
were led by Luis Limardo's record
breaking 12 goals and \^ point-.
The senior co-captain surpassed
hi- own -ingle game mark of 10
goals and 1 1 points >et on Oct. 22.
1444. against Redlands in a 16 9
win.
"jLuisI is definitely capable,
especially in a small pool."
Yarworth said. "Thev weren't
doing a good job (defending
himj."
Freshman Brian Stahl began a
huge weekend by netting three
scores and handing out a pair of
assists in the first match. The
native of Wyomissing. PA tallied
16 points (eight goals, one
tWLV-point goal, and six assists) in
the tournament.
In front of an enthusiastic
crowd, the Minulemen next look
on the Midshipmen In complete
contrast to the Richmond
shootout, this was a four quarter
war. Both teams played strong
defense, but in the end UMass was
unable to keep up.
"We haven't played a team like
this in a while." Yarworth said.
"They're very strong, very physical."
Senior netminder Alex Mujica
led Massachusetts' defensive effort
making eight saves and five steals,
while allowing just seven goals.
On the offensive end. Stahl
accounted for three of the six
Massachusetts scores while assist-
ing on another.

Yale up next for UMass men's soccer
By Leigh Torbin
Cdlegian Staff
The Massachusetts men's soccer team will take a
respite from their Atlantic 10 laden -chodule tonight
when they battle Yale at We-l Springfield High
School.
The Minulemen cniei ihc match at 4 '5 2. unbeaten
in their la-t four matches. The F.lis enter the first
match between the schixjls since 1484 at '5-4-1 .
"jN'ale is] a good, -olid team." UMa-s coach Sam
Koch said. "They're a team that can beat us if we're
not ready to play, but if we play well we should give
them a lot of trouble."
Not only have the Minulemen not seen Yale in five
years, bul the team- even lack common opponents thu-
far in 144i '^ ale did fall 4 0 at A 10 front runner
Rhode l-land though.
The Minulemen are also reasonably unfamiliar
with West Springfield High School, where they have
not played -ince Koch arrived at UMass in 1441.
Several LMass players hail from We-tern
Ma-sachu-elts. but Clark I'ield i- unfamiliar ground
for the Minulemen.
The piuh was in fair condition when UMass'
wonien- loam played I'RI there on Saturday night, bul
the field ha- -ince -een a pair of fiKilball games and it-
conditiuii ha- lepoitedly deteriorated.
Technically llii- will be a home match for Yale, bul a
pro- UMass crowd will likely await the teams.
"It's all to our advantage." Koch -aid. "It's a foreign
field and a different atmosphere but I think the Ian-
are going lo be more in our favor."
UMa-s has diversified its offense lately. Larly in
the -eason the offensive wa- Dave Siljanovski and
the 10 other guys in white. This made it easy for
opponents to key on the feisty 5 foot 7 inch junior,
who is currently second in the nation with I 1
assist-.
In victories over Duque-ne and George Washington
this past weekend, the Minulemen tallied -even times,
each goal from a different scorer, including a trio of
freshmen.
"Il benefits us when everybody can score." Koch
-aid. "We're playing as a total team and nut as one or
two player-. Defensively, for the other learn, it's a
nightmare. They don't know who to watch and can't
key on anybody. If everyone- involved the better it can
be for us."
Springfield native Mike Butler has also stepped up
his play tremendously of late Butler, who is currently
-ocond on the team with six goals and six assists, has
led the team offensively, setting up plays from his
allacking midfielder position. He also netted
game winners in the gargantuan victories over San
Irancisco and Boston University.
Afier tonight's lilt, the Minulemen will resume their
A 10 -chedule. as they travel lo Olean. NY to face St.
Bonaventure on Saturday al I p.m.

other medali-|s. finishing second and third respectively.
"We ran a gutsy race. We were not 100 percent, bul we
still gave a tremendous effort. I expected Providence lo be
strong, and Cortland is one of the be-l Division 111 teams
in the counti-y." UMass coach lulie l.al reniere said
As has been cusloman throughout Ihc season. UMass
was led by sophomore Rebecca Donaghue. Clocking a
lime of 18:06. she captured 12th place overall. Donaghue
has been the fir-l Miiuilewoman across the line in every
race this year.
Senior co captain |en Waeger finished the race in 1 5th
place, turning in a time of 18:15. Waeger. who ran last
year's invitational in a time of 14:52. shaved over 1:50 off
her previou- lime for this course. Waeger has shown dra-
matic improvement from last year, consistently running
second for the Minutewomen this season.
"len ran a tremendous race. She woke up not feeling
well, but she still gave it her all. She had just a fantastic
race." LaFreniere said
The course, one of NCAA national caliber, proved to be
a challenge as Christy Martin was the third UMass runner
across the line, takitig 41st overall, with a time of 19:01.
lunior Kristin Donaldson cracked the invitational's top
50. taking the mid -century mark in 14:14.
Sophomore Katie Greenia rounded out the scoring for
Massachusetts, securing 58th place, turning in a time of
14:22, Greenia has been working out in Ihe pool for the
past two weeks, nursing problems with her hamstring and
knee.
"Katie and Kristin ran well. They both had gixxl solid
races. The course was tough because of the rain from the
week before, but they ran strong." LaFreniere said.
The other two varsity Minutewomen runners. Chervl
Lyons and Molly Dunlap. also performed well. Lyons has
also been in the pool recently, having had to sit out the
only home meet of the season with hip flexor problems.
Dunlap. meanwhile, has been running well, responding to
the demands of competition.
"Molly really has a fire in her eye, a real desire to com-
pete. She didn't ran last spring, so it has taken awhile to
get back that compc-titive edge, but she's got it,"

Profeisional tennis player Martina Navratilova discusses homophobia in sports with former National League
umpire Dave Pallone last night at a packed fine Arts Center Concert ffall.

Tennis superstar Martina Navratilova and former base-
ball umpire Dave Pallone gave a crowd at the I niseivily
of Massachusetts more than a speech last night. They gave
a conservation.
Sponsored and coordinated by the UMass Chancellor's
Office. "Fair Play" was billed as a "candid conversation"
between two openly gay figures in professional sports.
While il was that, it was also a conversation between two
athletes and a public eager to ask questions.
"We could just go on and on talking about this sub
jecl." ^aid Pallone as he turned over the event to audience
for questions a few minute^ after il began. "Wed rather
hear your questions and talk to you than jusi talk and
maybe not sav what you want lo hear "
Over the course of two hours. Pallone and Nasratilova
answered dozens uf questions about gay-, lesbian- and
bisexuals in sports. Audience members lined up behind
microphones -ei up at the side- of the Line Arts Center
Concert Hall.
Being out in professional tennis
,\n-wering que-tions about her personal experiences as
a le-bian athlete. Navratilova was quick lo point out that
homophobia had not had much impact on her profession
al career, al lea-t not strictly speaking.
"I've always been pretty well accepted." she said, indi
eating that in the world of professional tennis, it is perfor-
mance and not sexual orientation that mailers.
Leaving Czechoslovakia at the age of 18 to pursue a
professional lenni- carivr. Navralilosa wa- well aware she
was a lesbian, -he told the audience Although -he did not
try lo hide her -exual oiientatinn once -he became a major
player, il wa- not until H81 that -he "caiiK- out" publicly,
and then, onlv bc-cau-e a loumali-l did il tor her.
Once out. however. Navratilova lound that she enjoyed
her newfound freedom and could live her life a- more of a
"whole pei-on " In 14^3 -he delisered a -hort speech at
ihe March on Wa-hinglon for GLBT rights, an experience
she described to the audience as "the most exhilarating
five minutes of mv life."

"I'm dying lo speak." said Leslie

podium set up for the National
Coming Out Day Rally. "I'm been so
quiet about this." she said.
At least 150 students — lesbian,
gay. bisexual, transgender and allie-

Union yesterday and celebrated with
speeches, laughs, hugs, balloons, pin-
and smiles. Although it was the
anniversary of the National March
for Lesbian and Gay rights in
Washington. DC. 1987. they were
mostly celebrating each other and
their ability to "come out" in public.
"I want to make this a- public as
possible." said Nirenstein.
According to Ashavan Doyon. the
political chairman for the Lesbian.

"Most people who come out on
National Coming Out Day are high

"1 always feel like I am at an

No matter how many victories she won on the court,
however. NavTatilova still found herself kising some battles
behind th . scenes. Running for reelection as the president of
the Women's Tennis Association in 1980. she announced
that she would not keep her sexual orienution a secret. As a
result, she lost her position, "because ii wouldn't be good
for the image of women's tennis," she said.
Being out also lost her numerous commercial product
endorsements. NavTatilova said, indicating that during the
1980s, most advertisers were weary to associate their
products with an openly lesbian athlete.
Navratilova also commented that being out has compli-
cated her personal life Every time she appears with
another woman in public, even a heterosexual woman,
people in the media want to know if they are having an
affair and she in turn has to respond.
"I don't think heterosexual women have to explain
every relationship they have." she said.
Kicked out for beiof "out"
Palione faced sinular hardships during his career. kMing
his position as a major league baseball umpire in a "forced
retirement* that he attributes to the fact that he came out
as a gay man.
As the author of Behirtd the Mask: My Double Life in
Baseball. Palione offered the audience a glimpse at profes-
sional environment many Americans consider "macho"
and 'totally straight."
"I've never, ever heard any homophobic remarks (from
other players or umpires],* Palione said, emphasizing that
in his 1 0 years in the major leagues, it was upper manage-
ment who gave him trouble, not the people on the field.
Most professional baseball players arc young people who
have grown up in the era of GLB liberation, Palione said,
and as a result most homophobic oppression comes from
okler. more conservative individuals in upper management.
"Every single day |l was in baseball), all I did was look
over my shoulder." he said.
Palione told one audience member that he was in the
process of trying to regain his position as an umpire.
"After all." he asked, "how can they have a player like
Darryl Strawberry in trouble with the [Internal Revenue
Service) and let him play and then not let me play just
because I'm gay?"
The former umpire said he was waiting for Major
League Baseball to appoint a new commissioner. Until
then, he said, all he could do was wait and hope.
"But please remember." he said, "I will not be a gay
umpire. I will be an umpire who happens to be a gay man."

"Sports presents a paradox," Griffin said. "On the one
hand it's ... just a game ... but we idealize it " Thinking
that as a game, sports is free of the prejudices and biases
present in the rest of society, according to Griffin.
When Navratilova's sexual orientation was first publicly
revealed in 1981, she had already won the women's sin-
gles title at Wimbledon twice. By the time she retired in
1994, she won the tournament seven more times and
became the most successful professional tennis player in
history, male or female.
Navratilova resisted attempts by the media and the ten-
nis establishment to keep her in the closet. When a man-
ager asked her to have a male friend attend her matches
as a 'beard,* Navratilova refused.
"Moments after earning that record ninth {Wimbledon
singles title)," Sports Illustrated reported, "| Navratilova 1
ran unselfconsciously into the stands of the very proper
All- England Club to fix her girlfriend with a hug "
When a ttporter at Wimbledon asked her if she was "still
a lesbian," Navratilova asked, "Are you still the alternative^'"
While not a player, Palione also faced special challenges
during his professional sports career and was forced to
retir« from his position as a major league baseball umpire
after publicly revealing his sexual orientation.
Palione is the author of Behind the Mask: My Double

Chancellor David K. Scott speaks at the unveiling of the mural at the Stonewall Center yesterday to celebrate
National Coming Out Day.
By Timoltiy D. Ostrander
Collegion Correjpondeni
The Stonewall Center celebrated
its tenth anniversary with the unveil-
ing of a new mural outside its door at
the Crampton House yesterday.
Chancellor David Scott app>eared
for the event to show his support for
the Center and mention his concerns
for gay. lesbian, bisexual and trans-
gender issues. The event was one of
many on campus during National
Coming Out Day.
The mural depicts a colorful rain-
bow of triangles which is a combina-
tion of symbols that have represented
the gay coinmunity in the past. Sarah
Pease, assistant director of the
Center, designed the mural.
The Chancellor arrived to cut the
ribbon and say a few words. He
noted that many other stales face
considerable obstacles to the
advancement of the gay. lesbian,
bisexual and tran.sgender community.
"This requires constant vigilance
and constant attention to advance a
truly just and caring community." he
said.
After the unveiling, the Stonewall
Center held iin open hnu-c which
allowed anyone interested in using it
to look around and get acquainted
with its resources Snacks .ind
refreshments were pruvided. as well.
The Stonewall Center has served
the UMass area in advancing the
diversity of the GI.BT community. It
provides a resource center to the
wider communitN ol students, facul-
ty, staff and local residents on the
subject of GI.BT concerns.
The Center provides a number of
services to the UMass region supplying
educational workshops, lectures and
wcxkly seminars on a variety of topics
as well as support fur victims of homo
phobic harassment and dist.'nmination.
Information services of the Center
include a large lending library of
books, vidtvs and publications and the
largest computer data-base of GLB
resources in the Valley. The StoiKwall
Center alst) provides a 24-hour tele-
phone service with information about
grv)ups. services and events.
There is a monthly Lesbian. Gay.
Bisexual. Transgender Cafe series
which brings in local and national
performers. The Center also sponsoi>
various special events such as rtxep-
tions. poetry readmgs. theater, con
certs and other activities of GLBT
interest.
The Stonewall Center was original-
ly created in 1985 as an administra-
tive office at the Student Affairs
Division. Until just recently it was
known as The Program for Gay.
Lesbian and Bisexual Concerns.
The idea for the Center was
brought about by a series of homo-
phobic protests on campus which led
lo systematic research about hetero-
sexism on campus. This research cul-
minated in a report called. "The
Consequences of Being Gay: A
Report on the Ouality of Life for
C>ay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Students
at the University of Massachusetts at
Amherst."
The report highly recommended
the creation of a prx)gram for GLBT
concerns. The Stonewall Center is
the result of that suggestion.
Since it has been created, the
Stonewall Center has been a model
for the building ol similar programs
in other colleges throughout the
nation. It is among the small h|^ful
of universities which has founaed
offices of its nature.
continuecj from poge 1
moment of my entire life," said senior Mami Hellner.
just before she introduced herself as a bisexual woman
for the second time. The first time was in yesterday's
Collegian, which was included in Helfner's column
"Coming out full Hedged."
Others who had been "out" longer were more confi-
dent.
"I kind of consider this my two-year anniversary |of
being publicly out]," Rachel Tannenhouse said. "I
think coming out. as opposed to hiding it and sup-
pressing it as my mom asked me to do, is the best deci-
sion I have made."
Nirenstein told a receptive audience the story of how
she "came out" to her mother. "When we finally got
home I ran in the closet of all places." she said.
Nirenstein said her mother considers this an "identi-
ty crisis" and her father said she is "doing this strictly
for shock value."
"Dad. has it occurred to you that you're not the only
one flirting with our waitress'.'" she asked.
Vicky Dunbar, a 35-year-old junior HRTA major,
said she came out to her mother a few days ago, a few
months after her brother.
"When I was in high school, it wasn't at all a cool
thing to come out," Dunbar said.
'I have nothing against heterosexuals," said an
exchange student frum Lngland, who said he came out
for the first time in this country at the rally "But it
gets a little tedious when everyone thinks that I am
one."
"This is great to have a big family like this so far
away from home," said junior English major jo Anna
Guerra of San Diego. Texas.
Attempts to rcvcrw the process
"I am also a Christian." said a speaker who gave only
her first name. "For those of people that say that God
leels sorry tor those of us who arc gay. lesbian or bisex-
ual — no he doesn't. He created us just as we are."
Although she could stand behind a microphone, in
front ol two cameras, she didn't know if she was readv
to come out in the Collegian to all of her Christian
friends.
"In recent years, we have made significant progress
in removing the burden of bigotry from our land,"
wrote Senator Edward M. Kennedy, in a statement
read by Doyon. "Your presense here today and at simi-
lar events around the country are what really moves
society forward."
"Ironically. Coming Out Day is also a day when
newspapers are reporting attempts in some states to
reverse the very same progress we celebrate here."
wrote Chancellor David K. Scott, in another statement
read by Doyon.
Doyon said Scott was referring to the Colorado
amendment giving homosexuals protection against bias
in housing, employment and public accommodations,
which went to the High Court Tuesday. Colorado's
solicitor general. Timothy M. Tymkovich. "argued the
state's citizens have the right to prohibit laws that pro-
tect homosexuals from discrimination,* according to
AP writer Ijiurie Asseo.
"The case is the most important involving homosex-
ual rights to come before the court in nearly 10 years."
Asseo wrote.
"A Massachusetts (New Ipswich) teacher was fired
for teaching Queer literature in her English class,* said
Enc Cammer, the facilitator for LGBA.
"One sixth of the public schools in Massachusetts
are safe school ... but a lot of the school boards are not
allowing the queer-straight alliances," Cammer said.
Felicia McNeill, a 17-year-old student dually
enrolled at UMass and Amherst High School, is
involved with the Amherst High Cay-Straight
Alliance. "It's a place where people who are gay, les-
bian, bi.sexual or straight allies." she said. "We gather
together, we share interests, we have discussion
groups.
"Our main intention is to provide a safe place for
people who are gay or lesbian or are just questioning
their own sexuality . and also for children |with les-
bian or gay parents!"

I aDuke said she believes many
Americans follow "industrial think
ing." the teaching of man's domination
over nature Indigenous thinking, how-
ever, believes that natural laws are the
highest of laws. It means taking only
what you need arxl leaving the re-st for
othcTs who may also be in need.
"We would do well to live in accor-
dance with natural law. We have
found from natural law that much of
what is around us is alive, it has its
own spirit." l.aDuke said.
LaDuke also discussed linear
thiniuot^.thc idea of ptogrc^.s^bevon
defined as, economical and technical
growth. Most decisions, she said, arc
made by 47 uansnational companies.
"What gives these companies the
rights to supersede mine?" LaDuke
asked the audience.
According to I.aDuke. the origin of
these companies was wealth, which
was onginally and unclhically appro
priated by her people and paid for by
the lives of thousand of others.
l^Duke also protested against the
World Health Organizations' (WHOl
human geno project which is interxl-
ed to take blood and tissue samples
of indigenous people to catalogue
DNA.
"The organization is not interested
in preserving indigenous pe\.iple. it is
interested in pri-serving gene stock,"
she said. LaDuke also said that
indigenous people arc not credited
with many of their contributions.

When revenge is deserved
Revenge — how «weet it is.
There's always at least one time in a person's
lite when the\ wish the people who have wronged
them would get what the> deserve But we're >.onditioned
to think those feelings are wrong. You know the old
adage, you should "treat others as you would wi'^h to be
treated?" __^___^.^__
But when someone really screws
you. shouldn't you be able to .<erew
them back'' Retribution, an eye lor an
eye. was the legal form of punishment
in Puritan times.

that it begins to consume your every
thought. Soon, you forget what

ple actually deserve what's coming to them'.' Did John
Bobbitt deserve what he got after allegedly abusing
Lorena to the point where she only felt safe after she had
sought her revenge?
Tlie issue also brings into question the death penalty
for convicted criminals. Many feel
these felons are taking up tiKi much
wasted space and the slate should
have the responsibility of eliminating
murderers the same way thev did
their victims. But is this morally
acceptable? The familie'- of these vic-
tims might rest easier at night if the
state took revenge on the convicted.
Revenge seems to take on a
stronger and more serious meaning

And I'm sure everyone's wanted W'
strangle their hairdresser after a bad
cut. My experience is no exception. I swear the girl had It
out for me She decided to "layer" my hair because she
said I had the "perfect bend for it." She seemed so confi-
dent and promised not to take off more than an inch
when I gave in.
Well, that one inch became three years worth of
long, red hair on the floor. Needless to say. I spent the
next three days crying over what I thought was the end
of my siicial life. I was convinced I would never date
agafn
I decided Miss ScissorHappv had to pav for what
she did to me I plotted fcu days I Imagined her losing
her hairdressing license and developing a phobia to
scissors so she could never hack at anyone else's tress-
es again
And then it hit me. I should be ashamed for crying over
something that's going to grow back, when other people
lose a If! ntore that never will. .And what if I had gotten
revenge on ihc hairdresser? Making her feel as I did
would actually make me feel better?
I swallowed niv vanity and made a pledge to myself. I
would never get myself that worked up over something so
trivial again.
vou wont even remember them,
much less remember what they did.
They'll probably have done the same
thing to plenty more people like your-
self. They'll end up old and alone and
you'll be surrounded by honest people — people who
dfsene your company.
I've come to the conclusion that the best part of
revenge is just thinking about it. In your day dreams, you
can trip that perky aerobics instructor in front of the
whole class after she pointed out that your love handles'
could be best eliminated if you ate and drank less and got
off the couch more.
Acting out schemes of revenge will prove only to back-
fire on you. Sure, you may experience a momentary feel-
ing of pride and relief, but it's fleeting. Your enemy v^ll
only think of something bigger and belter to get you back
with It could go on for years and soon you'll have forgot-
ten what you were fighting abc>ul But you'll be tired and
bs)lh of you will have caused much damage, ^du also run
the risk of being labeled a psycho.
This may sound like a "Cant we all just get along" type
speech, but it serves to restore your peace of mind. It may
also make you think again before you feel compelled to
react to someone else's actions.
Remember, what comes around, goes around. A finn
belief in that is a valid justice of its own.

Living it up in a small town
Last Halloween I sat with my
now ex -boyfriend and his
family on their front porch.
They live in the "downtown" area of
a relatively small Western
Massachusetts town.
Around 5 p.m.. it was as if a
General suddenly gave the order to
charge — what started as a random
bunny rabbit and ghost escalated into
a mass multitude of knee high
humans all clamoring for candy. I
was scared. I had never seen so many
children, so many damn Power
Rangers to be more precise, in my
entire life We had to make an emer-
gency run to Dairy Marl for more
ammunition. In an hour we had run
dry and had to seek refuge behind the
front door.
Welcome to life in a small town.
Maybe it was because where I
come from, neighbors and the con-
cept of a neighborhcKxl is far and few
between. Maybe it's because I live in
a densely wooded area where the
nearest neighbor can only be seen in
the winter when all the leaves are
gone — but I digress.
My then boyfriend always com
plained about living iti a small town
"There's nothing to do. Sure, it's
great if you're a kid growing up. but
it sucks when your a teenager."
And it was true. His town did con-
tain all the "Our Town" stereotypes:
the gossipy housewitc. the town ston-
ers. the deranged old person. But to
an outsider it wasn't boring, it was
constant and almost endearing that
these typical American things still
existed. And isn't a healthy childhood
the most important pan of living?
Any dysfunctional guest on (name
any talk show) can attest to that.
I used to walk to the "downtown"
area of his town. (Dairy Mart, a
bank, library and town hall <;/ one
inlersection) and watch everyone
watch me and wonder who I was. It
was weird, but it was nice. Nice
because I wasn't just another person
and weird because I was probably the
only Asian in a 10-mile radius. But I
got used to them, and they me.
I grew to like small town life, even
its quaintness. I stopped thinking it
was funny to see a car labeled "U.S.
Mail" deliver the mail I stopped
thinking that if I blinked I'd miss the
center oi town. And I began to get
Those are the little
things that have been
swept under the carpet.
It seems that today's
society is too busy
focusing on the weird
and unusual that if
they saw anything nor-
mal they wouldn V
know what to do.

used to the fact I could walk to
places. I got to know some of the
people and it was nice to hear a car
beep and be able to recognize who'
the driver was.
I soon looked forward to walking
with his mom to the post office to get
the mail. I liked the fact I didn't have
to lock the door every time I left his
house. I even became engrossed in
the town gossip; I knew what so and
so did last night and who was doing
what. It was unavoidable and it made
you feel oddly connected to some-
thing.
I've since moved on, but I still miss
that feeling when I walk down the
street amongst the hustle and bustle
of everyday life dodging cars and
avoiding eye contact. Sure, small
towns can be dull, but they serve a
purpose rhey're there as a reminder
of how things were and how things
still can be.
It was nice to be able to see family
values and family life fully intact. Life
may have passed by slowly, but
things seemed so much more simple
and sheltered. It was a feeling of
being safe, of not having to liKk your
front dcK)r. avoid strangers eyes, and
worry about getting mugged at gun
point
Those are the little things that have
been swept under the carpet. It seems
that today's society is tcxi busy focus-
ing on the weird and unusual that if
they saw anything normal they
wouldn't know what to do. Yeah, not
everyone can have a perfect life, a
perfect family or a perfect childhood,
but why should those who have some
semblance of one be scorned?
"Oh. you don't know what it's like
to have to carry mace when you go
grocery shopping."
Well, maybe not. but is that a goud
thing or a necessary thing for living
life to the fullest? And since when
did having a dysfunctional family be
something to aspire to?
It is almost as if people try to out
do each other in misery. It's like that
friend you have — you know, the one
that if you fell out of a tree when you
were 10 she was run over by a
marching band and two elephants.
Life wasn't always that way. Sure.
I may sound like Bob Dole now, but
almost everyone can agree a sense of
family is important, and it's small
towns that remind us of that every-
day.

The unnatural computer world
Nicole
Cournoyer
Wanna know about Windows "95? How about
Quicken'' Or DOS'" Or e mail'' Or anything at
all about computers''
Well, you've come to the wrong place I am the most
ignorant person I know when it comes to all that techmv
logically cutting edge mumlx>-jumbo.
Let me give you a little insight as to how
pathetic I actually am with computers: my
first lime in a I Mass computer lab last fall.
I had to ask the person on duty tc> help mc
turn the damn thing on. (Don't laugh. It's
not funny. I fell really, really silly.)
Still now. an entire year later, the extent of my comput-
er literacy stretches only to the boundaries of the word-
processor. Oh yeah — and I can play solitaire, too.
If I tried to learn more about the little magic boxes that
presently confuse me so much. I'm positive I could under-
stand them. I am a moderately intelligent person and I'm
sure I could eventually figure them out But. the fact is. I
don't want to know how to work them.
Let me explain.
Until this semester. I had very little contact with the
world of computers. As long as I could get my papers print-
ed out in time for my deadlines. I re.illv didn't care what
else the little gadgets could do (.Although periodically I'd
be possessed bv a burning desire to try my hand at Tciris.)
This semestei. however, things are a bit different, Mv
rot>mmate. Marissa. has a computer which she uses fre-
quently. She has an e mail account and does the whole
on-line, bulletin K>ard. Internet thingv ma-bob that I just
don't understand.
Sometimes when I watch the eerie, unnatural glow of
the characters flickering on and off and across and dt)wn
the screen a thousarid limes faster than I can think, a dis-
turbing mixture of fascination and fear envelopes me
Now. the fascination I can understand. Who isn't
enthralled by the idea of developing technology and the
new opportunities, possibilities and frontiers that come
with it That's the American dream, the American spirit in
a nutshell
The fear is what worries me. and what I feel I must ana-
lyze. The way I see it. computet s and all their magic scare
me for two reasons and, as a result, I hesitate to enter
their realm.
The first is I know so little about them. They represent
a technology that has developed and is developing fa.ster
than any other in history When I look at a computer, I
see a seemingly impenetrable wall of amassed knowledge
— a branch of knowledge that I have nt.)t even begun to
explore I feel as though I've been left out
in the cold: although I realize that this
fro/en illiteracy is almost entirely my own
doing
How can I ever thaw? Where do I begin
to chip away at this immense iceberg
before me? How can I catch up and keep up with a
knowledge that is forever moving away from me into the
future, faster than I can think''
The second and greater reanin computers stare me is
more deeply rooted. Perhaps because I grew up in a rural
setting. I have always been attracted to Thoreau's concept
of happiness in simplicity and nature. I find I'm constantly
trying to "simplify, simplify, simplify" my life, breaking
thoughts and actions and relationships down into iheir
parts and analyzing it all. Farm life has brought me a
fondness of nature and the beauiv of the simplicity there
that, perhaps, other people do not have a chance to expe-
rience.
My happiest moments are not among the hustle and
bustle and endless, striving competition of academic or
business life. Although the thrill of these pursuits does
excite me. an underlying sense of human vanity (Tower of
Babel'') and the uselessness of such self centered com-
plexity is always lurking in the back of my mind.
My happiest moments are among the grass and trees
and the creations of something beautiful — whether the
creator is God or merely "Mother Nature."
There are no computers in my Eden. Their glow is
unnatural. They do not belong. I know I'm being left
behind. No matter how ofien I tell myself I don't need to
know about this stuff. I know my ignorance and defiance
and idealism will only come back to haunt me. This is not
my Eden, and I'm not going to get vety far in a world of
computers unless I open my mind to the experience.
Until I decide to stop dreaming, open my eyes, and join
this world. I will continue to stare in awe at Marissa's
screen saver and wonder if ignorance really is bliss.

And off the bench . . . Bryce?
Massachusetts men's bas-
ketball coach lohn
Calipari spoke at the
UMass Sptirts Luncheon yesterdav
aftemcKin. He did his thing, spoke
a little and then answered ques-
tions. One of them had to do with
how many players he had and he
said there were, besides the two
walk-ons. 10 scholarship players,
though he would have liked to have
one more.
But Coach Cal. there is no need
to worry, no need to look any fur-
ther. I'm here. I'm ready.
I'm already a UMass student,
this is my last year of eligibility. I
was planning not to engage in any
athletic activity for iny senior year
so I could stay consistent with my
first three years here. But. since
you need nie. Coach Cal. you got
me.
Did you say I was under height
and overweight? Well, you may
have a valid point there. But. give
me the benefit of the doubt. In
high school. I was under height
and overweight, and rode the
bench pretty damn well then. too.
I know I'm capable of it. despite
my four-year layoff.
Back when I was on the junior
varsity team my sophomore year,
there were just seven players on
the squad. Vet. I still managed to
gel sparse playing time. Thirty
minute blowouts were my time.
There 'd be a couple of minutes lefi
and I'd get the call. Id come in and
the crtiwd of about a couple of sets
of parents and the freshmen team
would go crazy. Because they knew
I was going to shoot from wherevei-
I received the ball.
I absolutely ruled garbage time.
My feel were implanted in
three point land and I'd toss up
shots from around the perimeter.
It's rare to have a shot>ling con-
science when you are in the game
to make the coach feel he has done
a gcHxi deed. I had this crowd-lov-
ing arc on my shot, where every-
body would hold iheir breath for
the ten seconds the ball was in the
air. only to go nuts when it went in.
In fad. I was the only guy on my
team who didn't attempt a free
throw during the whole season.
You don't normally get hacked

were implanted in

I 'd toss up shots from

It's rare to have a

when you are in the
game to make the
coach feel he has done
a good deed.
Andrew Bryce
when you're 20 some odd feet from
the basket. So not only do you have
to worry about me not adding to
your team's free throw shooting
woes. I also won't turn the ball
over. It's simple — I don't dribble.
I just shoot.
Defense. Coach Cal? You put me
in at the end of the game with say.
a minute or so left, I can D-up. If
its more than that. I'm assuming
you can carry your inhaler in your
sock just in case, right? Thought
so. I'll be fine.
I'm telling you. Coach Cal. I am
your lason Germain. Actually, what
am I saying — I'm ten times worse
than jason Germain. You can put
me in even later in the game. Put
me in when we're up by 60 against
Duquesne.
Marcus has the floor. So does
Donta and Dana and Edgar and the
rest. I have come to the conclusion
that they deserve the playing time.
Yes. they have playing experience.
As for me. though. I have experi-
ence — bench warming experi-
ence. My seat stays wami. I don't
bother the coach when I don't gel
playing time. I listen to the coach
in the huddle even though I know
there isn't a chance in hell that it
involves me and I yell louder than
anyone when we break out of the
huddle.
I'm a coach's wet dream. That
is, not that I can win a game for
you. but there are no worries.
With me. throw me a uniform,
save me some space on the bench
and I'm golden. I'm actually a
pretty good guy to chat with "on
the bench for all my fellow bench
buggers. I say if you're going to sit
on the bench for a couple of hours,
make sure there's some good con-
versation.
So Coach Cal. here's the deal if
you need me. I need an extra large
jersey. Give me any number that's
available. And don't believe anyone
who says I'm trying to play just
because of the bench seat is the
closest you can get to the action.
Yeah right, like that's all that mat-
ters to me.
Now. Coach Cal. about that
scholarship ...

Hailing from outside of Boston. Overcast has
mixed their hard core influences with overtones ol
metal bands like Slayer, who thc7 claim to be one
of their largest influences.
Their debut album E.^pecialional Dilution on

everywhere as beginning of a new breed in hard
core/ metal. Forget big hair bands from the I980'v.
Overcast know what metal is and so do there fans.

NFW YORK — Following in the keystrokes of
•Xrtur Schnabel and Alfred Brendel. Maurizio
Pollini is presenting a complete cycle of
Beethoven's piano sonatas at Carnegie Hall this
season.
judging from Sunday's concert, in which he
playcxl the first four sonatas. Pollini's performances
will be breathtaking and memorable.
Beethoven was just 25 when he wrote his earliest
sonatas in 1 795. At the peak of the classical era.
Beethoven gave a look back to Bach and a sneak
peak forward to the romantic movement.
Pollini. a 55year-old Milanese, is one of the few
pianists who spans the classical and romantic
repertory, as comforiable in Beethoven as he is in
Chopin.
During Sunday's matinee concert, he looked
almost as if he walked in off the street, slightly
stoop-shouldered in a sports jacket rather than the
usual evening altire. But once his enormous hands
touched the Sleinway concert grand, it quicklv was
clear that a master was at work.
The first two sonatas are not among Beethoven's
greatest works, but in the allegro that concludes
No. 5. the sparks started flying.
Brilliant colors and sounds flew off the keyboard
at an astoundingly rapid pace. When the piece
shifted into pianissimo, the sound even glistened.
Pollini's polish was much the same in No. 4. the
concluding work of Sunday's recital. While stand-
ing ovations are common at classical concerts, it is
rare when nearly the entire audience jumps up as if
one immediately following the final note.
Pollini previously has played the
cycle in Berlin and Munich and will
also perform it this season in London.

Gallery alter showing in Santa
Monica. Calif., and New York, puts
the gasp, the ache and the reality
back in murder.
It's an appropriate exhibit, not
only for Miami, the onetime mur-
der capital of the country, but for
any city. It reinforces that anyone
can be murdca>d — or be a murder-
er.
The group show combines installa-
tion works, painting, photography
and sculpture by '54 artists, the most
recognizable of whom are Andy
Warhol and ^oko Ono.
The most evocative piece, though,
and the one which inspired the show,
is the \<^<^\ painting "Pop/Pistol" bv
Whitfield Lovell.
In it. Lovell sketches a portrait of
his grandfather. Eugene Glover, who
was shot to death Dec. 1. 1984. out
side his Bronx. N.Y.. apartment after
having cashed $569 in Social
Security checks at a nearby bank.
Surrounding "Pop" and a sketch
of a gun is a handwritten copy of
the police blotter-style article that
appeared the following day in The
New \ork Daily News. His sister is
quoted in the story. So is a neigh-
bor.
Lovell not only personalized the
brutality of his grandfather's murder
with a delicate portrait, but he con-
trasted that intimacy with the stark
and neutral words of the article.
"Once I saw that piece I was
haunted by it." said lohn Yau, a poet
and the show's curator. "I had to
mount a show, or a book, or some-
thing."
He did both. The show's accompa-
nying catalog features color repro-
ductions of all the pieces and biogra-
phies of Lovell and the 35 other
artists exhibited.
In addition, the book opens with
a preface that simply lists names —
lohn Lennon, Sharon Tate,
Malcolm X and hundreds of others
whose identities are synonymous
with highly publicized murders. In
the context of the show, though,
their names evoke a much more
personal loss.
"The visual arts are in a position
to speak a language that other
lorms of media cannot speak any-
more because they've lost their effi-
cacy." said Amy Cappcllazzo. the
gallery's director and an adjunct
art professor at Miami-Dade
Community College. "An has the
power to move people. It still has
that power."
In fact, the medium has moa- power
thai! television and newspapers combined.
Catherine Alden pays homage to
the O.j. Simpson trial with "Bad
Boys," an installation of 40 garden-
er's gloves in various stages of dirt
and distress. A pile of clean gloves
sits olf to the side, as if begging to
be soiled.
"Flash — November 22. 1963" is
Andy Warhol's 1968 four-piece mon-
tage of Pa-sident Kennedy's assassina-
tion.
Other artists bypassed the public
murders and zeroed in on the pri-
vate.
As you walk in front of Anna
Bialobroda's six-panel "Targets." six
angles of a shotgun's barrel follow

Remembering apple picking
Looking at one of New England! s favorite fail activities
When someone says fall, the first
thing that pops into most people's
heads is apple picking. There is
nothing like going apple picking on
a crisp lall day. It just sums up the
season.
If you live in New England,
apple picking has come to be an
associated season event. When I
was in grade school the most antic-
ipated lield trip was the one to the
apple orchard. Bundled up in heavy
sweaters and clutching your best
friend's hands, you'd sing on the
lop of your lungs on the bus all the
way to the orchard.
■^ou'd run to the door (despite
teacher's orders to, "Hold hands,
please! Two lines!") and jump off
the bus into the crisp auiuntn air.
You'd take in the bright colored
foliage, stuff random leaves into
your pocket and follow the nice
guide through the orchard.
With orders to only pick the
stuff on the ground (when your
under lour feet climbing is off lim-
its K'cause you have farther to fall)
you begin grabbing the nearest
apples around you .After visiting
the petting zoo and cider-making
building you'd board the bus with
your beloved apples and best friend
knowing that you can actually
show mom and dad what you did
for the day.
At the school you get to watch
the teacher make apple sauce. Oh.
sure they say you're helping
although the knives they give you
wouldn't slice butter, but it doesn't
matter because you get to "help"
anyway.
Finally you go home clutching
the apples in your sticky little
hands, proudly bearing your day's
spoils.
As you get older apples take on
new associations. It's the pie that
symbolizes more of a homey feel-
ing. It's the family favorite at
Thanksgiving dinncT. it's the warm
cinnamon and sugar smell that
assaults your senses when you walk
into the kitchen. It's American.
Is it any wonder why Eve tempt-
ed Adam with this fruit or it's
become the one fruit associated
with staying healthy'.' And apples
are such a diverse fruit. It can be
baked, fried, minced, ground,
pureed, juiced and eaten raw. But
of course the most known way to
eat apples is in a pie, hot and fresh
from the oven covered in french
vanilla ice cream or topped off with
a dollop of fresh whip cream..
Here is a recipe you can use
those heard earned apples in. Enjoy
and savor the sweet tart taste of
Fall.
— Tara MK Connelly
Deep-Dish Apple Pie
6 cups thinly sliced, peeted
apples (about 2_ lbs.)
_ to _ cup of granulated sugar
3 lbs. all purpose Hour
_ isp. cinnamon
_ Isp. nutmeg
_ Isp. allspice
juice of one lemon
2 tbs. of butter
Double-crust pie cru^I i^cc
recipe below )
deep dish pie plate
Prc-heat oven to 373.. Peel and
core apples. Slice thinly, the thin-
ner the apple the more tender the
pie. however if they are too thin
the pie will turn into mush. Mix
apples with next six ingredients
making sure the apples are evenly
covered. Pour apples into the pie
crust making sure they are evenly
distributed, don't worry if they
mound over.
Dot lop of apples with butter.
Place remaining pie crust over the
top and close with wet fork on
edges. Prick top repeatedly with
fork and cut a cross in the top for
ventilation. Bake pie for 30 - 35
min. or untiJ the crust is golden
brown. Serve hot or cold. Note:
you may want to place tin foil
under the pie as it may bubble
over.
Pastry for Double-Crust
Using a ready made crust is
much easier, Betty Crocker has a
great mix. But if you really want to
be authentic iry this recipe.
2 cups all-purpose flour
_ ips. salt
cup shortening
b to 7 lbs. of cold water
In a mixing bowl blend together
flour and salt. With a fork or pastry
blender mix in shortening until
pieces are the size of small peas.
Sprinkle I tbs. of cold water over
mixture and gently mix with fork.
Divide dough into two bails.
On a dry flat surface well floured
roll out dough with lloured rolling
pin. if the dough gels loo hard add
a little water. Remember that this
is a tedious process so go easy.
~ ALBUM REVIEW
VU up from the Underground
By Matt Audette
Coltsgian Staff
THE VELVET UNDERGROUND
Peel Slowly And See
Polygrom Records
Legends are not always recognized right away For
the Velvet Underground, whose short life span only
lasted from 1965 lo 1970, popularity has slowly been
on rise since their break-up almost 25 years ago.
Already established as a band's band or critic's dar-
lings. The Velvet Underground never have really received
the popular recognition that they deserve — hopefully
with Peel Slouly And See. a box set which chronicles The
Velvet's short but prolific musical history, this could all
change.
As with most "box sets." Peel Slowly .And See contains
all of The Velvet's recorded studio albums (only fouri
plus a slew of unreleased tracks, demos and live maleri
al that shows various shades of the band's music —
for better or worse. All the material has been
remasterc-d for optimum sound quality adding a
deeper dimension to the group's sometimes
thin-sounding recordings (although in ihe
case of the band's astonishing, bu
heinously recorded, sophomore
effort. While Light/ While Heat.
this hardly makes a difference).
Bui it is not these "added bonuses"
that make Peel Slowly And See such an essential treat. In
fact. Ihe first CD. which contains early demo versions of
such later classics as "Heroin" and "Venus In Furs." is
such a chore lo listen to thai only fanatics (and I mean
fanatics) will honor repealed playing Nevertheless, the
rest of the four CDs are stellar — a document to the
band's genius and lo the tact that they we're so ahead of
their time it's almost eerie.
.Mlhough enthusiasts of iht group may already have
inany of the bonus tracks that are liltered throughout,
neophytes will absolutely cherish the live tracks that pre-
cede Disc 2 (White Light/ White Heat). They reveal a
playful side of the group that was seldom seen through
the dark, noir-ish facade the band constantly displayed
(just try lo find a picture of the group without sunglass-
es in the 84 page booklet that accompanies the set).
Most of these tracks were recorded piH.>rly. but yet.
still retain the intensity and depth ihey
radiated all those years back.
One of the more interesting aspects of the
collection is listening lo the fKiw the chem-
istry of the hand clicked. Ixhi Rcvd's liter-
ary aspirations and pop sensibilities and
lohn Cale's avant-garde experiments are a
perlect clash, sort of a I ennon/McCarlrK'y
of the underground, making the later
material (chronicled on Disc 4 and Disc 5
when their creative partnership had bro-
ken) seem almost tame in comparison,
isiening lo the b«.)x set is akin lo following
the band throughout their changes, both musi-
cally and personally, watching them grow and
then eventually self- destruci (the end of the I')isc 5.
which fealurvs The Velvet's last album
^A I flf I » /-ou<i»^. is pretty disappointing).
yindf l/l/arhQl The only dovi-nside to Peel Slowly
.And See is the fact that it isn't totally
complete. There arc some very obvious omissions
such as "She's My Best Friend" from their album of
unreleased material. VU. and the live, more moving,
version of "Sweel lane" which originally appeared on
their double-disc live album.
These are small complaints though, and for the
most part collection is entirely essential for both
longtime fans and those uninitiated. Peel slowly and
enjoy. A

ever mess the child is in.
How long this kind of plot can
continue is doubtful. The overall
lone of the dialogue is gossipy and
juvenile — makes you feel like you
are in middle school again. Reggie
and her friend, Clint, insist ihal
they are acting in the client's "best
interests" but you know that's just
an excuse to be nosey and down-
right intrusive. The whole show
comes across as preachy and
cliched. Most annoying though are
the southern accents which come
and go depending on the degree of
overacting. There's nothing subtle
about "The Client" and when it
comes lo pure awfuiness. the show
is guilty as sin.
CBS scores another zero with
"Courthouse,' which airs
Wednestlays at 10 p.m. Featuring an
ensemble cast that includes Patricia
Wetlig. Robin Givens. Nia Peeples
and Brad Johnson, the show tackles
murderer>. rapists and other crimes
with admirable effort that sadly falls
short.
The premier episode started with a
bang ~ a judge was murdered by a
defendant and what could have been
a worthwhile storyline immediately
deteriorates into an argument about
who would get the victim's parking
>pot. There's a lot about
"Courthouse" that is superfluous and
the tangled storylines allow charac-
ters only a brief introduction on
screen before they are whiskc-d away,
never to be seen again till the next

MOVIES
Banderas a skilled Assassin; Quilt takes to heart
By Laura Slock
Collegian Stoff
ASSASSINS
Directed by Richard Donner
with Syfveiler Stallone, Anlor^io Bar^derai
Playing at Hampihire Six
Yes, Assassins is jusi the latest action flick to come
down the 'Pike, and yes. we are all tired of watching
Sylvester Stallone's career head down the Specialist I
ludge Dreddl Slop! or My Mom Will Shoot drain, but this
criminal angsi movie contains one element that prevents it
from becoming the ultimate snoozefest — Antonio
Banderas.
It seems as though Banderas is eveo'where these days,
but there is a reason why. He is good. He has a
scene-stealing attitude that prevents mundane dialogue
from becoming absolutely droll.
We saw his altitude in Desperado, but the film itself
was so hard lo lake seriously, it was difficult to ascertain
whether Banderas was overacting or truly talented.
As Stallone's rival assassin. Miguel Bain. Banderas is
equal parts hilarious and treacherous.. His acting is. as
usual, loaded with sex appeal twho else can gel away with
all the heavy breathing as he prepares himself to shoot
someone?). However, beciuse Stallone gets the girl
(lullanne Moore) this lime. Banderas' romantic savvy is
^ignificanlly restrained.
Stallone plays a cold-hearted assassin. Ruben
Rath, who (in his. er. old age) wants to quit his job.
bui the allure of money and threat of death keeps
him roped in. Rath vows to do jusi one more job
(hey. it is worth $2 million), but Bain interferes.
Apparently Rath is considered number one and Bain
makes every effort to dethrone him. They have some
interesting confrontations, but this mostly amounts
to a cat and mouse game ihev plav throughout the
film
The two assassins are pitied against each other by
their employee, the government (what kind of film
would it be without the CIA and Interpol being the '"bad
guys?"). Electra (Moore), who has been selling stolen
computer discs loaded with government secrets, is the
"mark." or the person whom they have to eliminate.
Stallone falls for her. of course, so instead of killing her.
ihe two criminals join forces and attempt to fight off
Banderas and collect their millions from the govern-
ment.
.-Usctssins is supposed to be a high-slakes game of
adventure for Stallone and Moore, but the plot is
rather basic and the stunts are less than convincing.
Stallone made a stink about his salary for this film,
but the actor who deserved the $20 million is
Antonio Banderas, seen here in Desperado, stars as an up-and-coming hitman in Assassirts.
Banderas.
The most interesting aspect of Assassins is how the plot
of Banderas striving to get Stallone's job applies lo real
life. It's ihe symbolic passing of the torch. As for today's
action films. Stallone is out and Banderas is in. C

HOW TO MAKE AN AMERICAN QUIIT

with WirH}na Ryder. Anne Bancroh, Ellen Burstyn
Playing al Mt Farms Four
Based on the novel by Whitney Otto. How to Make an
American (Juili is not an in^lructional film for grand-
mothers. It is the story of "where love lies." which is also
the theme for the quilt — constructed along with the plot
of this movie.

ihc most lines, but the character who ties all of Ihe other

characters and their subplots together.
Ryder plays a young fiance. Finn, who is terminally
confused over whether or not to marry her beau, played
by IX-rmol Mulroney.
Finn retreats lo her grandmother's house for the sum-
mer, where ^he attentively listens lo the sage advice and
love stories of the women from the in-house quilting bee.
As each woman sews her patch based on where she
thinks love lies, she recalls the story from where the patch
was inspired. A /oy Luck Club similarity ensues as the
llashbacks begin.
Finn's grandmother (Ellen Burstyn) and
grcat-auni (.Anne Bancroft) get baked on the front
porch of Bancroft's house and tell Finn the story of
how Bancroft's husband slept with Burstyn
(Bancroft has a great temper-tantrum scene in the
flashback).
The must gripping flashback is the story of Sophie, a
grumpy old woman whom Finn was always afraid of as a
child. We learn that her biiiemess stems from an unhappy
marriage and the loss of her dream lo be a swimmer.
Maya Angelou may not have a great acting range com-
pared to the other talents in this film, but her poetic story-
telling manner makes her perfect in her role of quilting
bee leader.
The major flaw of the film is that equal lime is given lo
each of the six women's tales. Robbing from the interest-
ing fiashbacks to draw out the boring ones results in a
movie that lags in certain parts.
All of (he women's tales of love lost amount lo a strong
anti-mak sentiment which, combined with the lack of any
positive male characters, gives Ouill Ihe "chick fiick"
label. A feeling of sympathy for these women will surpris-
inglv develop and become an enjoyable film for anv gen-
der.'B
Questioning lifes
little questions;
cultivating cacti
By Seema Gangcrtirkor
Collegian Staff
How many times during the day do you stop and
ask yourself. "What if...?" The possibilities of
"What if...?" are endless and for those of you who
are into speculation, Evelyn McFarlane and lames
Saywell have come up with a book/game called If:
(Questions for the Game of Life). Published by
\'illard Books, the book poses hundreds of questions
beginning with "if" and prompting answers ranging
from the practical lo the infuriating, from hilarious
to moral.
Some examples include: 'IF you could have a
secret video camera in any one room in the world,
where would it be?" or "IF you had to go tonight to
be tattooed, where on your body would you have it
done and what image would you select?"
IF is a game that can be shared or read alone, but
just a warning to potential addicts: it is dangerously
fun and often times profound. A single question can
carry an evening or serve as an icebreaker between
new acquaintances. Here's a deep thought: a single
question may even change the way we see ourselves
and our friends.
Robert Ward (Shedding Skin) is back with a
thrilling new novel. The Cactus Garden, published
by Washington Square Press. The main character
is an undercover DEA agent named lack Walker.
After rescuing Hollywood bombshell Charlotte
Rae Wingaie from an armed carjacking. This
resulted in the perpetrator's bald and tattooed
head smashing through the windshield of a cherry
red '65 T-bird and the decapitation of the land-
mark dragon at Mann's Chine Theater on
Hollywood Boulevard. It is clear that lack's life
will never be the same again.
From that point on, jack is immersed in the seedy
drug cartel run by Charlotte Rae's brutish husband.
Buddy Wingate. To complicate matters, lack is
falling in love with Charlotte Rae. Tough and vul-
nerable at the same time. Charlotte Rae is a heroine
to be reckoned with artd lack must decide just where
his loyalties lie — with the government agency he
has fought so hard to defend, or with the beautiful
woman he has come to love.
From the Hollywood Hills, to the steamy streets
of Mexico, the DEA is desperate to try to dissolve
the ring of drug waHords and lack's insider connec-
tions may be the only hope.

While an abundance of people
wi>h to relive the 19t>0s either
through retro-rockers or high
priced reunion tours, tomorrow
night will treat the most frugal of
appreciators as the Machine. The
Pink Flo>d Show, hits the stage at
Pearl Street Night Club.
Honing their live show over ihe
last two years, the Machine has
become America's premier inter
prelation of Pink Floyd. They've
definitely come a long way from
playing bars in their home slate of
New York to clubs, theaters and
colleges around the country to
even more impressive shows in
front of 5000-plus people in
Warwick. R.I. and Louisville. Ky.
Lven a Pink Floyd fanzine. "The
Amazing Pudding has acknowl-
edged the Machine for their sin
cere and accurate representation
of arguably rock's most progrcs
sively innovative bands.
Maybe more important to ihc
band, other than playing, is
spreading the Pink Floyd niagii; on
to those unfamiliar. Drummer
Todd Cohen said, "the biggest
thrill we get is when someone
comes up lo us and says thai
before they saw us. they didn't
like Pink Floyd, but now alter sec
ing us play, they do."
Now. with the addition of We>
Nagy (keyboards), whose resume
includes Bo DIddiey and

have substantially rounded out
themselves to greater depths.

Possessed singer stirs up the Iron Horse
By Mike Burke
Coilegion Staff
OIAMANDA GAIAS
Iron Horse Music Hall
Oct 10
NORTHAMPTON — The angel of death visited
Northampton this past Monday and Tuesday nights
in ihe form of Diamanda Galas. Her
three-and-a-half octave voice created haunting
and frightening images of a deranged blues singer
from hell.
Galas' recent performances entitled Insane
Asylum is a collection of blues classics as well as
many of her own originals. It is post-modern
bluesy lour through the dark and gloomy world of
Galas mind and soul.
Dressed entirely In black. Galas performed the
entire show sitting behind a grand piano. The per-
formance opened with Galas screanung in her trade-
mark out-of-this-world hullering that has scared
many an audience. This was hardly your average night
on the town sipping beer at the Iron Horse —
Diamanda Galas is not your typical singer songwriter.
After a few minutes of high-piichcd yelping.
Galas swept into a bluesy rendition of B B. King's
classic. "The Thrill is Gone." This was the first of
many traditional blues songs Galas covered in the
evening. Her voice is so well trained ihal within
one verse she can iransform it from a deep
Southern growl to a sweet passionate soul sound a
la Anita Baker to a dealh-iiefying scream.
The scariest song of the night was her version of
"Cris d'Avcugle.' a French tune whose titled trans-
lated is "Blind Man's Cry." Her vocals resembled
those of a possessed soul spewing the words of
Devil. Her rapid delivery sung in such a high pilch.
It frightened much of the crowd who were left

Murphy's Law to bring punk/funk mix to Noh
By Adam Dlugcxz
Coilegion Correspondent
Murphy's Law are hardcore plain
and simple. Coming out of Astoria.
Queens the band has been playing
classic New York Hardcore since the
early eighties.

with the Beaslie Boys in \*iSb they
released their last full length album.
The Re^t of Times.
The band admitledly spent most of
their budget on beer and weed
instead of recording. Despite the dis-
appointment of The Rest Of Times.
Murphy's Law have continued lo
wreak havoc on the east coast with
their continuous louring that has
taken them through the area count
less limes.
Despite the fact that the band's
line-up has changed with every
album, limmv G has been the only
staple member. For 10 years he has
brought smiles to the faces of audi-
ences everywhere. He's always
open and friendly to the kids and.
unlike most performers, has done
everything possible lo help the
scene.
limmy G brings to life classic
Murphy's Law songs like. "Killer
Beers." "Fun." "Quiet For Herb" and
"Cavity Creeps." When jimmy G
leads his latest troupe into
Northampton, be prepared for may-
hem.
Expect a stage crowded with kids
Watch limmy G dive into the crowd
as you gel sprayed by beer Then you
may realize that you are experienc-
ing the time of your life. Murphy's
Law is mure than just a band — they
represent the spirit of hardcore
music.

Music goodies
all over Internet
By Mike Burke
Collegian Staff
Arc you a music junkie? Do you have a couple of
hours to spare? Then log onto the Internet and surf
the information superhighway where you can find
every lid bit of knowledge about every band in the
world.
The World Wide Web (WWW) has become the
hip place to hang out on the Internet. Here you have
access to everything you could ever imagine. Visit
the Grand Royal Web Site and you have access to
full length Beaslie Boys videos and songs. Plus there
are lots of photos of the band to view. Want more?
Nou can even read the first and second issues of
Grand Royal Magazine.
Bui this is just the lip of the iceberg. Many
other record labels have web sites where you can
listen to bands, viev* photos and even order
records. Seseral independent labels from Pop
Narcotic to Slumberland keep their fans up to
dale on new releases as well as news about their
band
The \\ WAS is also known for personal home
pages where individuals set up their own sights.
Check out the Pa\enient home page and you can lis-
ten to an unreleased live track. Plus there is a com-
plete discography of every Pavemeni record ever as
well as photos of the band and tour news.
The biggesi plus about the web is it's user friendly
attitude. By just a lew clicks you can go from a
photo of Kiss from 1>J74 to viewing the current tour
dales of the Swirlies to listening to the latest hit
fami Weezcr.
Even if your favorite band is not as popular as
Green Day. don"i worry. The Internet connects fans
Irom across the world. At one website called
Tweenet. there are loads and loads of information
about obscure "twee" pop bands such as Tallulah
Gosh and .Another Sunny Day.
Besides the World Wide Web there are other
places to visit on the Internet lo feed your need for
music.
Newsgroups are just what they sound like. A
place to read and share information concerning new
reIeasc^. tour dates and gossip. The best aspect of
the newsgroups i> that it is more interactive than the
web. Anyone can read and write onto the news-
group so if vou want to find out who wrote that
song fami 1479 that started with an A chord, then
ihis is the place you may find out.
There are o\er 4.000 different newsgroups
overall and at least 100 thai concentrate mainly
on music. Many newsgroups are formed to discuss
individual artists from ABBA lo lelhro Tull lo the
Smashing Pumpkins. Other groups serve up talk
of more general topics like independent music or
the Chapel Hill music scene. All in all just about
everyone can find a newsgroup lo please your
interest.
Need more? E-mail is the answer because it will
directly connect you to other people just like regu-
lar mail. The advantage is that it is free and it takes
seconds lo deliver. Through e-mail you can make
Internet pen pals with music fans all over the
world.
Sound at all interesting? Sit down by your com-
puter and spend some time on the 'net. Listen lo
some tunes, check out some videos and even buy
some music — not bad for not leaving your dorm
room..

continued from page 5
idea what the Iniemei is. I. myself, have a pa-tiy good idea
of how to use it but I had to do a great deal of research lo
find out where this thing came from and why it is here.
In order to understand something, we must look at it's
histoi7 — at least that is what most of my professors tell
me.
In the beginning
The Internet was born about 20 years ago in an
attempt to connect together the Defense Department
network called the ARPAnet and various other radio
and satellite networks.
The ARPAnet was an experimental network designed
to support military research, in particular research about
how to build networks that could withstand partial out-
ages (like bomb attacks) and still function. Is this a prod-
uct of the Cold War maybe? I think so.
Basically what happened was the network was
assumed to be unreliable in the sense that if any ponion
of the network disappeared, so lo speak, it would still be
able to function. It was designed lo require the minimum
of information from the computer clients.
To send a message on the network, a computer only
had to put it's data in an envelope called an Internet
Protocol (IP) packet, and "address" the packets correct-
ly
The communicating computers — not the network
itself — were also given the responsibility to ensure that
the communication was accomplished. The philosophy
was that every computer on the network ci'uld talk, as a
peer, with any other computer.
At about the same lime the Internet was coming into
being, Ethernet local area networks were developed.
This technology matured quietly, until desktop work
stations became available around 1983. Most ol these
work stations came with Berkeley UNIX (an Internet
type network), which included IP networking software.
This created new demand: rather than connecting to a
single large timesharing computer per sile. organizations
wanted lo connect the ARPAnet to their entire kxal net-
work.
About the same time, other organizations started
building their own networks using the same communica-
tions protocols as the ARPAnet — namely. IP and its
relatives. It became obvious that if these networks could
talk together, users on one network could communicate
with those on another, everyone would benefit.
Another nc-wer network that was spawned in the late
■80s was created by NSF or National Science
Foundation, which is also an agency ot the U.S. govern-
ment. The NSF created five supercomputer centers
which were only available to weapon developers and a
few researchers from large corporations.
By creating these supercomputer centers, the NSF was
making vast resources available for any type of scholariy
research. Being that the centers were so expensive to
build and due to bureaucracy, the NSF decided lo con-
struct its own network based on ARPAnet s IP technol-
ogy.
It conntxttxi centers with 56.000 bit per second (56k
bps) telephone lines. This is roughly the ability lo trans-
fer two full-type written pages per second. Thai's slow
bv modem standards, but was reasonably fast in the mid
1980s
Due lo the cost ol telephone lines, it made it impossi-
ble for the NFS to connect to every university. The uni-
versities across the nation were connected with their
closest neighbors who were in turn connected to the NFS
network. Eventually with this sort of communication.
any computer would be able to communicate others by

For mystery buffs, critically acclaimed .Vew York Times
be^lseller. Walter Mosley, whose books include Devil
III J Hliw /)rf»i, is back.
In addition to the Shamus Award for Devil, he was
nominated for an Edgar Award and the Golden Dagger
Award for other books.
Mo>ley brings back Easy Rawlins, the good-natured
P.I. from Ihiil and thrust him into the summer of 1961 in
the new novel, liluik Hetty.
Trouble sleeping and plagued by nightmares and the
hot September wind. Easy is stirred awake by the
pale-faced, green-eyed stranger outside his house before
dawn. Enter Saul Lynx, who has money lo spend and a
troubling offer, and Elizabeth Eady, a black housekeeper
to a wealthy while family.
Easy has fallen on hard times, and while he hesitates to
help find a black woman for a while family she might
have good reason to hide from, his rent is due and the
kids need lo be fed. Besides, he can't resist the lure of
seeing the woman he knew as Black Belly in his boy-
hood days, even though he knows that violence always
follows in her wake.
Newsday says. 'Hlack Belly flaunts what Mosley
docs best- capturing in a brutal image the defeated
slums of Los Angeles and the parched psychological
terrain in which human relationships flourish or fal-
ter."
Powerful and evocative. Black Belly mixes mystery
with acute observations of life in prc-riot Los
Angeles.

PRODUCED BY JIM KOPLIK /JOHNSCHER / METROPOLITAN ENTERTAINMENT GROUP
increased until, eventually, the computers controlling the
network and the telephone lines connecting them were
overloaded.
Construction on the information Highway
In 1987. a contract lo manage and upgrade the net-
work was awarded to Merit Network Inc., which ran
Michigan_s educational network in partnership with
International Business Machine (IBM) and MCI. The old
network was replaced with faster telephone lines (by fac-
tor of 20), with faster computers to control it.
The process of running out of horsepower and getting
bigger engines and better roads continues to this day.
Unlike changes to the highway system, however, most of
these changes go unnoticed by those who are using the
Internet to do real work.
For example, when you go to the library and log onto
your account, you will not find a message saying that the
Internet will be down for a year while construction is
under way.
The fact that running out of sjjace and improving net-
works has given birth to a technology that is extremely
mature and practical. The ideas have been tested —
problems have appeared and problems have been solved.
The most importani aspect of NSF_s networking
effort is it has allowed everyone access lo the network,
so everyone attending a university such as the University
of Massachusetts can become an Internet user.
This is possible because the NSF-promoted universal
educational access by funding campus connections only
if the campus had a plan lo spread the access around.
An explosion of inlercsl
The demand keeps growing. Most four-year colleges
an; connected, so people are trying to gel secondary and
primary schools connectcxi.
Pc-ople who will graduate from college in the years to
come will know the importance of the Internet arid use it
lo talk to their employers about getting conntxted. As it
is many corporations are connected to the ever growing
Net and have gained many benefits from its use.
All this activity points to the continued growth in an
industry of networking problems lo solve, evolving tech-
nologies and job security.
What Is The inlernet Made Of?
This is a difficult question to answer, the answer has
changed over time and is still evolving. Five years ago it
would have been easy to answer — all the networks
using the IP protocol, which cooperate lo form a seam-
less network for their collective users. This would
include various federal networks, a set of regional net-
works, campus networks and some foreign networks.
Who Governs The Internet?
In many ways the Internet is like a church — it has its
council of elders, every member has an opinion about
how things should work and you can either take part or
not. It's your choice. The Internet has no president,
chief operating officer, or Pope. The constituent net-
works may have presidents and CEO_s, but that's a dif-
ferent issue. There is no single authority figure for the
Internet as a whole.
Who Pays For This Slufl?
No one pays for the Internet, there is no Intemel Inc.
that collects fees from all Inlernet networks or users. The
University of Massachusetts, for example, pays for the
connection to a regional network or maintaining its own
network, which in turn pays the national provider. Thai
is why we are charged $20 a semester for it's use.
The Internet is, in my opinion, still in its infant stages.
Technology for this seems to be changing every day, in
addition to the steady increase of users.
Simply put, it comes down to supply and demand. We
demand this cool research and fun tool and we are sup-
plied by a network. People want something that is easy
and sometimes fun to use and expcxt high quality if it is
being paid for. Also the fact that there are no regulations
on this domain is quite surprising, but that is another
bull lo wrestle with.
If this sort of thing really interests you I suggest that
you go out and purchase the novel The CuckiH>_s r.gg.
by Cliff Stoll. It gives some good history as well as a
great suspenseful plot.

Collective Soul releases their new album
By Kira L. Billick
AiKXiolad Preti
PHILADELPHIA — When it
comes to weird success stories.
Collective Soul would have to win
the prize for the weirdest.
Singer-guilarist-lyricist Ed
Roland sent Collective Soul's
demo, "Hints. Allegations, and
Things Left Unsaid," to various
record labels, hoping to land a bite.
The band had experienced several
incarnations before settling on the
lineup of Roland, his guitar-playing
brother Dean, guitarist Ross
Childress, bassist Will Turpin. and
drummer Shane Evans.
A local radio station latched
onto the optimistic, 1970s-slylc
song "Shine." Atlantic Records
followed suit and put the track
out as a single. Pandemonium
ensued.
"Shine" went top 10. "Hints"
went platinum and Collective Soul
played Woodstock '94 and became
MTV darlings. All this over a mere
demo.
So it's understandable that
Roland sees the band's self-titled
sc-cond record as starting over, not
continuing.
"Our whole objective with this
record wasn't about how many you
could sell — it was about actually
letting people hear what
Collective Soul sounds like,".
Roland said. "The first one wasn't
really a true representation - it
wasn't a band effort."
This record might not be burning
up the charts like "Hints"did, but
Roland is pleased nonetheless.
"The pace that it's been going.
I'm more than pleased." he said in
an interview. "For 20-some weeks,
it's been on the top 40 in album
sales. ... That's great, as far as I'm
concerned. I look at that as very
much a success and I'm very grate-
ful for that.
"Last time, it was too much too
quick. Your head spins around and
you don't know how to react or
respond. ... You go through differ-
ent emotions, like self-doubt - do
we really deserve this?
What's going on? The hardest
thing to do was just to accept what
was going on.
The strength of the new album
lies in its undeniably catchy riffs,
soaring harmonies, positive lyrics
and Roland's elastic, versatile
tenor.
"I grew up song-oriented. I guess
you could say." he said.
"I'm not really good on groove
— I can't write around that. Maybe
it just comes from not understand-
ing anything but melodic songs."
His themes are the unifying
power of love, that it's possible to
be a good person even in a crazy
world.
"I still believe in mankind." he
said with a chuckle. "I still believe
we can overcome these things.
Maybe we can't, but at least I'd like
to think we can."
"Gel" continues in the same
optimistic vein as "Shine." The
moody "December" chronicles the
disintegration of a co-dependent
relationship. "Where the River
Flows" pairs a relentlessly heavy
guitar line with what Roland calls
his "really bad Mick lagger" lalset-
lo vocals.

Earthquake shakes Mexico's Pacific coast
Thursday, Octt>lHr
II
By Susana Hoyward
Asiociated Press
MANZANILLO, Mexico — Weary rescuers searched a
hotel s rubble for nrissing tourists, looters picked over
broken homes and hundreds of families camped out on a
soccer field wailing for help Wednesday, two days after an
earthquake hit .Mexico's Pacific coast.
The 7.b-magnitude quake shook a 250-mile-long stretch
along the coast, killing at least 55 people and injuring
more than 90 in the stales of Colima and Jalisco, home to
some of Mexico's most popular beaches.
Amid drone of cranes and the ocean's roar, weary
workers gently unearthed four bodies eariy Wednesday
from the collapsed eight-story Costa Real Hotel, where
more than 20 people died. Police and hotel workers said
earlier that about 20 guests were missing, but no precise
ligure was available because the hotel's records were
demolished.
Two victims were discovered after slabs of concrete and
columns were removc-d with picks, axes, drills and Shov-
els. Their feet suddenly stuck out from the debris,
prompting gasps from onlookers.
"It's horrible, isn't?" said juan Gomez, a rescuer cu\
ered in dust who has worked non-stop at the hotel since it
collapsed like a layered cake. "We doubt anyone is still
alive."
"Officials were still revising death lolls Wt-dncsday as
police tried to identify bodies, meticulously typing out
statements from relatives and listing the dead.
A mile to the north, another drama unfolded, largely
ignored by authorities. Hundreds of poor families set up
makeshift tents on a soccer field alter the quake cracked
or destroyed their homes. Two aftershocks, one ol dozens
since the Monday quake, shook the ground earlv
Wednesday.
"We play football so we don't get scared and feel the
ground move," said 14-year-old lose Alfonso Harriga. kicking
a torn soccer ball with other children ur»dc"r a blistering sun.
Families gathering ccMjking pots, blankets, clothes and
toys from their former homes were anxious lo show a visi-
tor the damage.

believe worlds like Dungeons &
Dragons.
In these games, an individual can
lose one's identity and become anoth-
er person quite easily. The ability to
immerse yourself in a world and be
soineone you are not probably is the
reason these games are so alluring.
Although many of these games are
based on Dungeons &. Dragons, Star
Trek, Star Wars and other role play-
ing adventures, not all the MUDs are
meant to be games.
Some ML!Ds are meant to be meet-
ing places w here people talk about all
sorts of things from politics lo sex.
Some of these "worlds" are simply
meat markets where people engage in
cybersex.
One example of a MUD which is
not a game is .Nails, named after Ihe
Philly's pitcher Lenny Dykstra, not
Trent Reznor — but there is a char-
acter on there named after the front
man of Nine Inch Nails.
Herz once describc"d Nails as "the

simply read notes, but never f)ost —
the common belief is they out num-
ber the posters.
I can be found on such groups as
rec. music. rem where I converse and
share ideas with fellow RFM fans.
However, I would never be caught
dead posting in a sex newsgroup in
fear of being considered a pervert,
but curiosity leads most users there
at least once in their travels on the
Net.
Lost in cyberspace
The Net has spawnc-d a child and it
is called the World Wide Web.
The Web is like the Internet on
acid. The old Net is text basc-d while
the Web is vibrant with color and
sound.
It is easy to get lost in the Web
because almost every site is intercon-
nected. I once logged into a site
called Loci and in a few minutes
found myself looking at the /)<;i7y
Beacon. the University of
Tcnnt»see-KnoxviIle's college paper.
The Web is a wealth of informa-
tion, and provides a user with almost
infinite possibilities.
Pictures, sounds and even software
can be easily found on the Web for
immediate retrieval. More important
then the softwaa- is the freedom the
Web pruvides.
Anyone with access to the Web
can establish their own page with
whatever they want to publish on it.
From advertisements lor the latest
and greatest products to political
commentaries denouncing capitalism,
it can easily be lound on the Web.
However. I would like lo warn any
novice over the addictive quality of
the cyberworld. It will draw you in
and you will become hooked before
you realize it.
Every lime you try to kick the
habit, you will feel like AI Pacino in

Die Barney Die!
Believe it or not, there is a group
of Net users who have vowed lo put
Barney, the happy purple dinosaur,
out of his misery.
These people can be found in the
corner of the Net known as the
Usenet. The Usenet is home of over
5,000 newsgroups on such varying
topics of music, religion, society and
of course sex.
If you are looking for information
on anything, you are bound to find it
in a newsgroup on the Usenet. -
The Usenet is like an international
bulletin fioerd divided up into sub-
heads known as newsgroups.
The people who frequent news-
groups can be broken down into two
types — lurkers and posters.
In my wanderings through the jun-
gle of newsgroups, I have been both a
lurker and a poster.

The departments and their chairs
were recognized in the senate cham-
bers of the Slate House a couple of
weeks ago.
Each chair was given a copy of
Massachusetts Professor lames Tale's

ly won the nationally distinguished
Tanning Award. Scott said this was
one of the "tangible" products of the

Penney presented her legislative

the Capitol Bill, which will appropri-

with an overwhelming vole of 150-1
last spring, it is still being considered
by the Senate.
"It's time for us to get together and
get action for the Capitol Bill."
Penney said.

Faculty speaks out
The dissenting faculty was permit-
ted to speak after legislative business
was discussed and before the
Executive Session.
Thomas Koch of the Service
Employees International Union was
the first to speak before the board on
the reluctance of the Trustees to
endorse the faculty's contract for pay
increases after the Weld/Cellucci
administration rejected it.
"I have mixed feelings." Koch said.
"I'm glad we reached a settlement
late last night, but I am still angry
and frustrated with the whole process
leading up to it."
Cease-fire led
by VS. effort;
truce is in effect
By Samir Krilk
Ajiocialed Press
SAR.A|E\'0. Bosnia-Herzegovina
— What the world hopes will
become a permanent cease-fire for
Bosnia finally took effect early
Thursday, despite frantic last-minute
battles for territory. The U.S. -bro-
kered truce took effect Thursday at
one minute after midnight (7;01 p.m.
EDT Wednesday). U.N. officials said.
They said it probably would take
hours for orders to reach field com-
manders, making it likely that fight-
ing would taper off overnight rather
than end suddenly.
The 60-day truce, part of a U.S.-
led effort to bring peace lo the
Balkans, was delayed for 48 hours
while engineers tried to restore utili-
ties to Sarajevo and armies battled
for the final bits of territory.
The Muslim-led government and
its Croat allies seized two Serb-held
towns in northwest Bosnia before set-
ting a firm time for the truce to
begin.
Hours before the truce, the govern-
ment was reportedly still advancing
toward a third town. Prijcdor. in
northwest Bosnia. And Serbs were
rushing to expel up lo 20.000 non-
Serbs remaining in northern Bosnia.
Bosnian Foreign Minister
Muhamed Sacirbey. speaking in
Brussels. Belgium, said the truce
could be endangered if the expulsions
continued.
"The cease-fire and the peace
process are in jeopardy if the ethnic
cleansing is not confronted." he said.
The U.S. Stale Department said it
was "exceedingly concerned" about
the reports. While Sarajevo, still
ringed by hostile Serb forces,
remained cut off from the outside
world, the cease-fire agreement
appeared to have secured it limited
supplies of gas and electricity. But
water was still short because of elec-
trical pumping problems.
The process ha> taken Lucr iwo
and a half years of negotiations, cre-
ating "animosity" between the two
groups. Koch said. He attributed any
successes in gelling adequate funding
for the campuses over the last few
years lo grassroots lobbying by a
coalition of students, unions and Ihe
administration and alumni.
"The government showed us they
have no failh in the collective bar-
gaining process." Koch said. "It
should never have happened the way
it did."
Frank Olbris. president of the
University Staff Association, spoke
on behalf of technical and clerical
workers.
"UMass policies ihat encourage
economic uncertainty result in per-
sonal, i-conomic and family hardships
for its employees." Olbris said. "This
weakens the s>.>cial fabric of western
Massachusetts communities, result-
ing in greater social disruption and
higher social costs lo surrounding
communities."
The most passionate speaker to
present the faculty's case was
Massachusetts Professor Deborah
Carlin She articulated their shared
a'sentment against ihe Board and the
slate government for neglecting the
needs ot the faculty
"There is something rotten in the
stale of Massachusetts' public higher
education." Carlin said. "Perhaps you
simply don't realize how bad things
are at this moment and how ihey will
inevitably worsen if ihe status quo is
maintained. On ihe other hand,
maybe you simpdy don't care."
Carlin. a member of the English
Department which was recognized
earlier in the nieeling lor ranking in
the lop third of the nation, scolded
the board for nol a-alizing the depth
of the fittancial struggle for faculty.
"You withdrew your support from
the conlraci >ou hclF>ed lo negotiate
and which you slated publicly thai
you supported," Carlin said. "Shame
on vou. We feci ourselves to have
been betrayed by the audacity of
Ciovcrnor VVeld and his administra-
tion and bclrjycd by your lack of
commitment in lollowing through on
the agreement ihal vou help negoti
aie."
Carlin reminded the Board thiit
ihe faculty has nol even received a

Professors angry with Weld/Cellucci
FACULTY continued from page 1
Under the Massachusetts collec-
tive bargaining laws and policies,
the Weld/Cellucci administration
has lo honor ils coinmilnienl to the
SEIU and other unions from the
other protesting UMass unions.
Proiesi over inedialion
Robert Paynier. a faculty mem-
ber and teacher of anihropology.
said he believes public protest,
rather than quiet mediation, was
necessary.
"The reason why were doing this
is because in lanuary. Secretary of
.Administration and Finance Baker.
Weld's man. after two years ol
negotiating, in essence, said that
the faculty of UMass is overpaid,
and underworked." he said. "So
SEIU and ihe faculty are doing it
through the sch(.>ol and getting
Baker's allenlion."
Although a -.trike would normal-
ly be the most immediate and effec-
tive way to gel the school Board ol
Trustees lo give in lo their
demands, Paynier explained why
striking was nol an option.
"Teachers can't legally strike."
he said. ".And a strike hurts the stu-
dents, and that would be against
our goal. If we did thai, we
wouldn't be teachers."
In the event the new contract is
reneged on. Paynier said the pro-
testors would have leach-ins. and
class discussions.
"If we were to strike, we would
consult our students before, and
get their reactions." he said.
Paynter said he fell what the
Board was doing was an insult lo
higher learning, the staff, faculty
and students.
A new agreement
The protestors carried picket
signs barely visible in the early
morning blanket of fog. Among
some of the more visible slogans
were.'Don'l trust the Trusiees" and
"Trustee .Meeting in VIPer Lounge."
judging by their chanting at the
protest, il was evident the members
of SEIU aniicipaled negolialions
David Lafond. a professional staff
member from SEIU. Local 509.
had grown his hair for ihe iwo year
duration of the bargaining.
In front of an inspired crowd, his
lengthy ponylail was cut lo symbol-
ize that the SEIU had a new tenta-
tive agreement.
Lafond expressed his distaste for
the plight of the faculty, librarians
and staff, but said he felt what hap-
pened was indicative of the
Weld/Cellucci adminisiration
because of a similar iiccurrence at
state colleges.
Later thai duy. u i,ill> was held
in front of Haigis Mall. Leo
Richards. President of the Faculty
Union, expressed concern about
the lack of response on the pan of
the administration.
Richards said his hope that the
tentative agreement between the
Board of Trustees and SITU would
set a standard for future agree-
ments.
Women Studies professor Arlene
Avakian. who followed Richards,
expressed the general seniinieni ol
the prolesi in summation.
"The employtx-s of ihe University
of Massachusetts have remained
loyal, despite our problems." she
said. "While that stale has nol ade-
quately repaid u^ for our dedication."
Avakian warned ol the poleniial
problems thai could alleci the
University if an agreement is nol
reached. If a selllciiieni was not
reached and the situation got
worse, then UMass would not be
able to compete oii a naliomil level.
Avakian said she believes this
development would greatly allci-i

Lopez homer beats Reds; Indians get back on trat
P>raves get four in the 1 0th inning
Hershiser gets the job done; series 1
By Joe Kay
Assoc Idled Press
Atalnta
Cincinnati
CINCINNATI - Add |avy Lopez
lo Ihe Atlanta Braves' roll call of last-
Inning heroes.
Lopez hit a three-
run homer In the
lOth inning, capping
yet another dramatic
rally as the Braves beat ihe Cincinnati
Reds 6-2 Wednesday night and took
a 2-0 lead in the NL playoffs.
Atlanta's second consecutive extra-
inning win put the Reds in a near-
impossible situation. No team has
won the NL pennant after losing the
first two games of the championship
series at home. "It's a very uncom-
fortable feeling." Reds manager
Davey lohnson said. "We've got lo
score more runs. Our offense just
hasn't produced that many."
Three-lime Cy Young Award win
ner Greg Maddux will start Game 5
at Atlanta on Friday night, opposed
by David Wells.
The Reds pulled out every offen-
sive trick they could think up against
starter John Smoltz, who has beaten
them three limes this season. They
finally got him out of the game fol-
lowing the seventh with the score
lied at 2.
But the NL's lop extra-inning club
failed for ihe second consecutive
night. Mark Portugal, relegated to the
bullpen for the playoffs, started the
lUth by giving up a single lo Mark
Lemke. a walk lo Fred McGrifl and a
single to David lustice. loading the
bases.
Portugal then bounced a breaking
ball for a wild pitch with Ryan
Klesko at bat to lei in the go-ahead
run, and Lopez followed Klesko with
a first-pitch homer high off the left-
field foul screen. The Braves, who
had the league's worst extra-inning
record in the regular season at 'S-'J.
jumped and hugged in the dugout
while Lopez rounded the bases.
Mark Wohlcrs pitched the ninth to
close out the Braves' fourth come-
frum-bchind win in the playoffs.
Il was a particularly stunning loss
for Cincinnati, which was iU-) in
extra innings, best in the league. The
Reds blew scoring chances in the sev-
enth, eighth and ninth, and ultimately
wasted perhaps their most impressive
rally of the season.
The Reds were flat
and flailing against
Smoltz when they
turned the game
around with the
resourcefulness that's become their
trademark. Snx)llz had a 2-0 lead and
was working on a streak of 12 con-
secutive batters retired, leaving the
less-ihan-capaeity crowd of 45.257
restless.
So what do the Reds do? They
stop swinging and start bunting.
Benito Santiago, with 19 strikeouts in
45 career al-bais against Smoltz,
caught third baseman Chipper lones
playing back and bunted for a single.
Bret Boone, just 1 -for- 12 career
against Smoltz with seven strikeouts,
followed with another bunt single
that seemed to unsellle the pitcher,
who fielded and threw wildly for an
error that Santiago take third.
Santiago was thrown out trying to
score on jell Branson's grounder, but
pinch-hitter Lenny Hams grounded a
full-count pilch up the middle to
drive in Boone and send Branson to
third. Harris and Branson then pulled
off a double steal Harris look off for
second and catcher |avy Lopez
bounced his ill-advised throw to
shortstop Rafael Belliard. allowing
Branson an easy steal of home — Ihe
firsi In an NL championship scries.
The crude but cunning rally saved
lohn S^niley from another playoff
loss. Smiley was trying lo make up
for the low point of his career: two
drubbings by Atlanta in the 1991 NL
playoffs, when he was pitching for
Pittsburgh
Smiley fell behind quickly, giving
up a first-pitch single lo Marquis
Grissoni that opened the game.
Grissom advanced on Mark Lemke's
hit and-run groundoul and came
around on Chipper lones' single to
right.
McGriff led off the fourth with a
double that donecied off the heel of
center fielder Thomas Howard's
glove on the warning track. One out
later, Mike Devereaux — who had
the game-winning single in the llih
inning Tuesday night — doubled over
the head of Ron Cant in left for a 2-0
lead.
Until the buni-and-run comeback.
the Reds had managed just a pair of
first-inning singles off Smoltz, who
had beaten them three times already
this season.
After the fifth-inning rally, they
didn't get anything else off him,
either. Smoltz left with the scored
tied after seven, having allowed just
seven hits.
Both teams blew big chances
against the bullpens.
Atlanta loaded the bases in the sev-
enth no Smoitz's single and a pair of
walks from Dave Burba with two
outs, but lones grounded out to first
on the first pitch.
McGriff led off the eighth with his
third consecutive double and
Devereaux came to bat against Mike
Jackson, the pitcher he beat in Game
I. There was no repeat, however -
Devereaux fouled out and Jackson
went on to escape.
Then it was the Reds' turn to
waste. Harry Larkin doubled off
Alejandro Pena in the bottom of the
eighth and stole third with none out,
but Gam popped out and Reggie
Sanders and Santiago struck out.
Cincinnati stranded another runner
at third in the ninth when Mariano
Duncan grounded out against Greg
Mc Michael.
Notes: Belliard started at shortstop
for the injured Jeff Blauser. Blauscr,
already slowed by a sore right ankle,
bruised his right thigh when Hal
Morris took him out on a double
play Tuesday night. ... Atlanta has
won six of eight at Riverfront
Stadium this year. The teams split
their six games at Atlanta-Fulton
County Stadium. ... Smoltz has 4b
NL championship series strikeouts,
matching Nolan Ryan and |im
Palmer for the record. ... Reggie
lackson had the only steal of home in
an AL championship scries, also on
the back end of a double steal fur
Oakland in 1972.

SEATTLE - Orel Hershiser
would have none of it.
Not the Kingdome noise, not the
fireworks set off after Ken Griffey
Ir.'s home run. not
the momentum the
Seattle Mariners were
starting to build.
None of it was going
to stop him from winning a game the
Cleveland Indians absolutely had to
have.
Hershiser maintained his perfect
career record in the postseason and
Manny Ramirez homered twice and
went 4-for-4. leading Ihe Indians past
Seattle 5-2 Wednesday night and
lying the AL playoffs at I -all.
"We looked al this as sort of a
must win for us.' Hershiser said.
Showing the form that once made
him baseball's best pitcher, the 57
year-old Hershiser allowed four hits
in eight innings and improved to 6-0
with a 1.47 ERA in 10 playoff and
World Series games. His only blem-
ish came in the sixth inning when
Griffey tied a postseason record with
his sixth home run.
"Of all the people I've been around
in baseball, and I've been around this
game 20-25 years, he may be able to
focus and concentrate more consis-
tently than anyone I've been around."
Indians manager Mike Hargrove said
of Hershiser. still icing his arm about
a half-hour after the game.
"He's come up big for us twice in
this postseason,* he said. "I don't
know if you come to expect it.
because we're all human I think you
anticipate it a lot."
While Ramirez showed what made
him an All-Star al age 25, Carlos
Baerga came through with the big hit
Cleveland mis.sed in the opener. His
two-out. two-run single with Ihe
bases loaded broke a scoreless tie in
the fifth and got everyone off the
Indians' bench, and the team seemed
to relax after that.
The best-of-scven scries goes back
to Jacobs Field for Game 5 Friday
night. Mariners ace Randy lohnson.
Boston Bruins get caught in a Denver Avalanche
By Aaron J. Lopez
Associated Press

Cokjrado on Wednesday as the Avalanche handed
the Boston Bruins their first loss o( the season. 5- 1 .

The Avalanche, which had killed just six of 14
previous power plays entering Ihe game, took
advantage of two of five power plays and scored

NHL Roundup
NY Rangers 6 Winnipeg 4
At New York. Ray Ferarro had two goals and
two assists as the New York Rangers opened
their 70lh anniversary season at home with a 6-4
victory Wednesday night over the Winnipeg lets.
Ferraro. a free agent center who came over
from the New York Islanders in the summer, had
a goal and two assists as the Rangers scored four
goals in the second period. With Ferraro and
linemates Luc Robitaille and Alexei Kovalev
combining for seven points, the Rangers look a
4-1 lead into the third.
The lead appeared safe until the lets staged a
late rally with three goals. Ferraro had his second
of Ihe night in the middle of the first two
Winnipeg goals to give the Rangers a 5-2 lead.
Adam Graves also had two goals for the Rangers
and Doug Lidster had the other. Scoring for
Winnipeg were Dallas Drake, Mike Eastwood.
Darryl Shannon and Kris King.

kind of year you're having you know when you
play Hartford, you have to step your game up.
And they know they have to step their game up.
It"s the most competitive level we can play at
right now."
In what was a game that featured many plays which
could have developed into glorious scoring chances, it
was Lynch who provided the defense UMass needed to
soccer
get a tie out of what was not a typical Minutewomen
effort.
UMass will need another outstanding game from
Lynch on Oct. 1 7 when the Minutewomen travel to
Hanover, N.H. to face No. 25 ranked Dartmouth. The
Big Green defeated UMass at Richard F. Garber Field
last year 1-0. but more importantly, beat Hartford 2-0
on Oct. 4 of this season.

dcd away from the Hawk keeper
and LeDuc sent it towards the
goal. Two Hartford defenders
attempted to clear the ball. As
another Hawk defender collected
the ball at the top of the box. she
passed back to the keeper who
was not in position and finally
the ball was knocked out for a
UMass corner.
In the second half. i.eDjc was
robbed by Cox when she was all
alone in famt of the Hartford goal
eight yards out and sent a shot for
the top left comer. Cox snatched it
out of the night, preserving the
shutout.
Lynch and the rest of the UMass
defense then held off an onslaught
of streaking runs by Hartford's
best attackers, Irene Stelling,
Stephanie Chmura and Jessica
Reifer
On the night, the Hawks out-
shot UMass 24-13 and held a
nine-six advantage on corner
kicks. Six of the nine Hartford
corners came in the last 35 min-
utes of play.
"If we want to be one of the
top two teams in the region,"
Rudy said. "We have got to play
belter than this, that is our
goal."
The Minutewomen return to
action Oct. 17 when they
travel to Dartmouth for
another Northeast region
showdown.

Eric Green, the Sicclcrs have demonstrated the harsh
reality that Neil O'Donnell. Bam Morris. Yancy Thigpen
and Andre Hastings do not formulaic a potent olicnsc.
On the other hand there is the Cleveland Browns who.
other than Vinny Tcstaverde. don't have a weak link. The
Browns can play grind-it-uut lootball and have wide
receivers .Mark lackson. Andre Risen and Derrick
Alexander. The three could thrive with a quarterback
who can get them the ball, i.e. Eric Zeier. Zcier complet-
txl six of ten passes for one touchdown when he relieved
the ex- Hurricane. Look for more ol (he former Georgia
Bulldog in the "Dawg Pound."
• lust imagine if Ki-|ana Carter was around to compli-
ment |eff Blake and the Bengals passing game. They
would have won the Shula Bowl last week and have a
chance of running away with their division.
• This was supposed to be the year that Dan Marino
broke all of Fran Tarkenton's passing records and he got
the first one Sunday when he completed his 3,b87th
career pass. But now that he has hurt his hip and knee,
the records will go on hold, while the Dolphins Super
Bowl aspirations will do the same.
• Remember when the New England Patriots had delu-
sions of grandeur and the San Francisco game was a pre-
lude to lanuary'' Well, going into week seven they are 1-4
and Scolt Zolak is more effective than Drew Bledsoe
behind center Bill Pareells seems to have forgotten how
to use Dave Meggetl properly.
It killed me to sec Bob Kraft at halftime of the Broncos
debacle try to explain what was going on with his team
which was supposed to be going places. He truly was as
enthusiastic as anyone in the region about the team he
had saved from St. Louis. Kralt must be shaking his head
with the talent he has on his team and the Rams, the team
that finally went to the .-Vrchway to the West, has the
opposite record of his club.
I've got to give |im Harbaugh credit, siiKC it was sup-
posed to be Craig Ercikson to help the Colts contend for
a wildcard. But three games into the season the ex-Bear
QB took over the starting job and now has Indy in a posi-
tion to go places.
OK, 1 hear all you Buffalo Bill fans screaming "What
about us'.'" Well, all I can say is the Red Sox have the
Curse of the Bambino, and you people have the curse ut
Scoll Norwood. And by the way, is it next year or the year
after that fiin Kelly is eligible for Social Security'.'
The Raiders do look solid offensively, leff Hosletler has
sent his fleet-fooled receivers. Raghib "Rocket" Ismail,
lames Jen, Tim Brown and Harvey Williams out of the
backlleld downlield as the Silver and Black are trying to
emulate the West Coast offense that is run to perfection
across the bay. The question with them is can their defen-
sive kex-p up with the pace of the NFC?
The Chiefs have also looked like a team that could be
around when the postseason happens. Steve Bono has
exhibited that he learned something from that guv
named joe. It's a team filled with enough heady veterans
and enough youth to be emotional and have the drive
needed to get there. But there is one uncontrollable
thing that will keep them from the promised land:
Marty Schotlenheimer will never make it to the Super
Bowl.
So unless the unabombcr does a number on the cities
of Dallas, San Francisco and Tampa Bay (they are in
first place in the NFC Central, go ahead check the
standings), it will be back to the drawing board for the
AFC
• Even though the prospect of the final game of the
football season still appears to be another blowout, you
will have to admit that NFL does not stand for the "No
Fun League." It seems almost every game has gone down
to the final possession or overtime. Five games went to
sudden- death this passed wtx'kend to set the all-time one
weekend record.
Add two other games that won in the final 30 seconds
and football fans have to feel they got the most for their
entertainment dollar. This does not include those people
who put down 35-plus dollars to see the Patriots-Broncos
game Sunday night.

two losses. R.C. Slocum's team will need some help if
they will contend for the national championship.
When most think of sports in Kansas, they think
layhawk basketball. The recent success of the Kansas and
Kansas St. football teams have people thinking otherwise
K State and KU are ranked No.'s 8 and 10 respectively in
this week's AP Poll. The two go head-to-head on Oct. 28
and if the two can maintain their national rankings, it will
be great for football in the state of Kansas.
How about Northwestern. First they shock Notre Dame
in the season opener, then they knock off Michigan this
[Tii-i weekend. They are now 4-1 and their 2-0 mark in
ihe Uig Ten is good lor first place. While they dodge a
bullet by not having to face Ohio St. this season, they still
have to beat Illinois on the road and Penn St. at home
Ix-lure they can book a trip to Pa.sadena.
This weeks AP Top 5 reads almost the same as it has
>ince the .season began with one exception. Colorado exits
from its No. 4 position with their loss to Kansas and Ohio
St and use broke their tie at No. 5. Florida St. comes in
ranked No. 1. followed by Nebraska. Florida, Ohio St.
and Southern Cal. All teams are undefeated and have a
j;cH.x.l shot at the national championship, with the excep-
liun of the FSU-Florida loser in the season finale.
la.st week's games were exciting, now tor a look at this
wix-k's big gaiiKS.
Florida at Auburn
Icrry Buwden's Auburn team won last week over
Mi>sisNippi St. and carries a 4-1 record into this ball
jraine The Tigers are led offensively by experienced OH
Patrick Nix, as well as eight other returning starters.
While they have experience, the offense has looked vul-
nerable. The Tigers scored only six points and gained only
274 yards in a loss to l.SU earlier this season.
IX'fense has been a trouble spot for Auburn. Their sec-
undary is not the strongest they have had and thc7 will be
tested in this game. Bowden needs this unit to step up and
will be counting on Ken Alvis to lead the way.
tnen s soccer
Challenging that Auburn secondary will be Florida OB
Danny Wuerffel. Wuerffel has been ranked in the top five
in OR efficiency all season and is capable of putting up
big numbers against quality teams, just ask Tennessee.
While the Gators' defense is susf>ect. they should be able
to hold the Tigers enough to allow Wuerffel and Co. to
out score Auburn on the road. Steve Spurrier's Gators
take this one. Florida 55, Auburn 24.
Tennessee ai Alabama
Another SFC battle that will feature a potent offense.
Peyton Manning has k>oked phenomenal in his sopho-
more seasun. The \ols check in with a 5-1 record, includ-
ing three straight win>. The offense has lit up the score-
board, but the defense has been inconsistent. The Vols are
able to shut teams out. like they did against Oklahoma St.
But they are cap>able of giving up a lot of points, like the
t)2 they yielded to Florida.
Alabama always has a good defense aiul this year is not
an exception. 'Bama is deep on defense, but their offen.se
is a concern. The Tide simply docs nc>t have the offensive
weapons to stay with Manning and the Vols. Vols on the
road. Tennessee 2b, .Alabama 20.
Ohio Slate at Wisconsin
The only real interesting thing about this game is the
fact that the Buckeyes are placing OSU is on a roll right
now and momentum is in their favor. Eddie George has
been terrific at running- back. Bobby Moving looks like
the secoiKJ coming of Kerry Collins and Terry Glenn has
dazzled defensive -back> all season.
Wisconsin brings a 2-1-1 record and an upset over Penn
St. to the table. The problems for the Badgers start on
offense. OK Darrell Bevel gets little help offensively, and
their defense has been rebuilt this season. All the Badgers
can dl> is pray that the Buckeye's gei k)st on the way to the
.stadium. |ohn Cooper's Buckeyvs play road warriors. Ohio

ed his region-leading 1 2th assist.
Vale out-shot lIMass by a count of
18 II. Yale goalie Adam Sullins tal-
lied three saves. Yale falls to 5-5-1
on the year and has been outseored
15 10 by their opponents. In the
nine games they have played. Vale
has only managed to score more than
one goal twice this year and has been
shutout twice.
The Minutemen. c>n the other
hand, are playing excellent soccer
right now, prompted by their stellar
team defense. Gruber has made 75
saves on the year and the Minutemen
have not allowed a goal in the past
two games. They have outseored the
competition 57-21.
UMass hits double-digits in the
win column with 10 after last night
along with three loses and two ties.
The Minutemen look to keep the
streak going as they return to action
on Saturday, when they will travel to

Florida looks to exercise curse
GAINFSVILLE. Fla. (AP) —The
Bciwden Curse.
It's a bedeviling phenomenon for
the Florida football program, a con-
stant menace to the Gators' national
championship hopes, a touchy sub-
ject in general aaiund these parts —
even if no one is willing to admit that
such a jinx even exists.
'I'm aiH going to answer that,"
defensive lineman Mark Campbell
said when the subject was raised
Tuestlay. "I hate hearing that. What
does that have to do with the
game'.'"
Still, as the third-ranked Gators
prepare to play No. 7 Auburn on
Saturday, it's impossible to ignore
the Bowden factor.

Since Steve Spurrier became the
coach in 1990, Florida has a rtxord
of 54-12-1. including three
Southeastern Conference titles. But
against Auburn coach Terry Howden
and his father, Florida Slate's Bobby
Bowden, Florida is 1 -6- 1 .
"No, it doesn't bother me," said
Spurrier, who has lost to Terry the
last two yean lo go aloog with a 1 -4-
I slate against the elder Bowden.
"Shoot, if you're going to lose to
somebody, you might as well lose to
teams that don't lose very often."
His players insist they don't worry
about who's standing on the opposite
sideline.
"I don't think we really get into a
big deal about the Bowden curse or
whatever," linebacker Ben Hanks
said. "Unfortunately, we haven't been
able to beat those two teams the last
few years. But this is another year.
We haven't played 'cm yet. so let's go
on from here."
Spurrier pointed out that he has a
losing record against several coaches.
not just the Fiowdens. But he had to
go back to his days coaching Duke
and the USFL's Tampa Bay Bandits
to find them.
"Danny Ford. George Welsh. Bill
Dooley. |oe Krivak. Y'eah, Krivak
beat us (Duke) two out of three at
Maryland. And there's Rollie tX)tsch
in the USFL." Spurrier said.
He can even recite his USFL
record against current New Orleans
Saints coach |im Mora — "When you
count the exhibition games, we were
one up." Spurrier said, "but in the
regular season games lie was one up
on us" — so it's obvious he gives
more than a passing thought to the
Bowdens.
Other than his failure to win a
national championship, the father-
son tandem are the only gap in the
sterling record of 'Coach Superior,"
a proud, demanding, sometimes arru-
gani man who has hi^ 5-0 team en
route to another SFC title entering
the game at Auburn (4- 1 ).
Spurrier's lone success against the
Bowdens was a 14-9 triumph over
Florida State in 1991 — and the last
two years have been especially
galling.
Florida State, meanwhile, became
the first visiting team to win at
Florida Field during the Spurrier era
on its way to the 1995 national
championship. That was followed up
last year by a 51-51 tie in which the
Seminoles rallied from a 28-point
deficit in the fourth quarter, then a
25-17 loss lo FSU in a Sugar Bowl
rematch.
"Those two team haven't hardly
lost to anyone," Spurrier said. "I just
happen to be one who hasn't beaten
'em much either."
Bowden remembered that his
father lost six straight vears to
Roridain Ihe 19K0s.
"The point is — it's just a phase,
something they went through,"
Bowden said. "We don't make a big
deal out of the (dominance over
Spurrier). I personally consider him,
next to my dad, the best offensive
coach out there "

ihi
WALTHAM (AP) — Known
throughout his Boston Celtics
career as an energetic optimist,
first-year Celtics coach M.t.. Can-
has been using preseason training
camp to share his outlook with his
players.
"M.l.'s been great," said team
captain Dee Brown. "The team
realizes there is a certain standard
we need to reach. The whole
coaching staff has been approach-
ing us all the right way."
The team has had a competitive
camp Greg Minor and David
Wesley are dueling with Brown,
Dana Barros and Sherman CXjuglas
for playing time at guard.
The Celtics' twxi top draft choic-
es, Fric Williams and lunior
Burrough, are attempting to make
an impact at forward, where
holdover Rick Fox is also battling
for minutes.
Dino Radja. Pervis Kllison and
Eric Montross will handle the
power forward and center posi-
tions.
Williams pulled his right groin at
practice Wednesday, but a team
spokesman said the injury is "noth-
ing too serious."
With the players' battle for spots
creating a potentially tense atmos-
phere. Brown's leadership has been
noticeable.
"Dee's growing nicely into the
role of captain." Carr observed.
"He's been vocal, and he's leading
by example. We're trying to
rebound better and run more so
we'll need evei>one readv to play.
'IX-e's Kvn right there, encour
aging all ol the guys to stay ready."
Brown is in his sixth season with
the team.
last season he was co-captain
with IX)minique Wilkins, but with
Wilkins now playing in Greece.
Brown has become the team's sole
leader. And he feels the differ-
ence.
"I was reluctant to step forward
last vear." Brown said. "But it's
p hope
important for all of us to start the
season strong and I'm on the guys
aKiut it. Larry Bird has been here,
assisting the coaches and he's
talked to me about how to lead,
how to motivate guys. He's helped
me a lot "
"We're still coming together with
new players and a new coaching
stall. We're conlident we can play
well as long as we're mentally pre-
piired and focusscd." he said.
Boston K'gins its eight game pre-
season schedule Saturday night
against Cleveland in Portland,
Maine. The Celtics are in for a
lough first month once the regular
season begins.
They will face Chicago, I*f>oenix,
Orlando. Utah, Charlotte and
defending champion Houston, all
considered potential championship
contenders.
'I'm not concerned about the
stakes right now." Carr said. "It's
just important we go out and run
and play with confidence."
Parcells looks for a winning formula
FOXBORO (AP) - The New
England Patriots, mired in a four-
game losing streak, are looking for
answers to a number of questiims as
they prepare to meet the i- 1 Kansas
City Chiefs on Sunday.
Patriots' coach Bill Parcells
promised to try "different combina-
tions" of players in practice this
week, but slopped short of announc-
ing lineup changes for Sunday's game
at Arrowhead Stadium.
"I don't exactly know who's going
to Stan here, but I think it's tiiia- to
do some different things," Parcells
said Wednesday. Although Parcells
said the changes might involve just
about every pcisition on the team, one
position that will remain unaffected
is quanerback.
Sore-shouldered Drew Bledsoe,
coming off possibly the worst game
of his career in last Sunday night's
57 5 loss to the IX-nver Broncos, will
start against the Chiefs. "He's my
starting quarterback, and I'm going
to stay with him as long as he can
play, until .such time when I feel I
need to try something else." Parcells
said of Bledsoe, who is still feeling
the effects of Ihe separated left (non-
throwing) shoulder he suffered Sept
1 7 against the San Francisco 49cts
Bledsoe said Wedne-sday that dur
ing the Patriots' current slump, he
may have fieen trying too hard to cre-
ate big plays and not concentrating
enough on the little things that result
in a well-executed game plan
"A lot ol the time, I'm expected to
be the local point of things here, and
that takes a lot of conscious thought
on my pan." Bledsoe said. "The f>est
thing I can do is to try to lead with
my play, as I always have, and be as
eflective as I can at my position "
Bledsoe said the mood of the- Patriots
is rK>t as had as might he e\|xvled lor a
team that has dropjvd to 1 4 after tieat
ing Cleveland in tfie season opi-ner
"Guys are disiippointed and they're
mad at what has happened, but for
the last lew weeks, we've been work
ing very hard in practice," he said.
"It's frustrating, but I don't think the
team is discouraged. I think that we
have to have some conviction lo keep
plugging away and get this thing
right*
However. Bledsoe admitted thai
some of the players may have urKier-
esiimaled what it lakeii lo continue
the progress the Patriots made in the
last two years.
"Part of what's happened is that
teams aa' taking us a lot mon* serious-
ly, or were at least coming into the
season." he said. "I.a.st year we were
an unknown until late in the season.
"That may have something to do
with It," he added, "but unless you're
a very dominant football team,
you've got lo go out every wtx'k and
fight right down to the end lo win
these games, and that may have been
seimething that, coming into this sea-
son, that we hadn't thought about.
We thought maybe that we were
going to be able lo overpower some
teams, and it's very apparent that
we're not able lo do that "
Parcells said some of his planned
changes may hinge u|x>n the health of
his team Starling olfenslve tackle Pat
Harlow, who has yet to play this sea-
son, will miss another week because
ol a stress fracture in his left leg.
Safely Myron Guylon is listed as
doubtful with a knee sprain, center
lefl IX'llenbach is expenencing back
spasms and is listed as questionable,
and light end Ben Coales is still ham-
pered by his sprained ankle.

Minutewomen, Hartford both fail to find the net
By Justin C. Smilh
Collegian Staff

Harttopd '
HARTFORD. Conn. — This was iruly a game of missed
opportunities
In a match that pitted two tnutuull> respected women's
soccer rivals, the I'mvcr^ily of Massachusetts and
Hartford, both team^ could have easily scored multiple
times. However, neither could bury one in the b.Kk ot
their opponents net. Thus, the hijjhlN
anticipated match between two of the top
three teams in the Northeast region ended
in a scoreless tie
This clearly was not one of the
Minutewomen's best games of the season and iheii tvunh
had mixed emotions on the result of the match.
"It was a good tie and a bad one." LMass coach |im
Rudy said. "It was giKxl in the fact that we didn't deserve
it. (Hanford) clearly wa^ the belter side, although we cer
tainly could have won this thing tiK' We had .1 ci'uple ot
wonderful chances (in the sftond half) that wc could not
put away.
"It was the first time all year we didn't carrv the pla>. In
terms of that I'm disappv>inted and a little surprised real
"It was a match between two great teams." Hartford
coach Austin Daniels said "I think we had a bit more ol
the edge in play, but we just could not put jn\ ot them
away."
The first five minutes was just a feeling-out period for
the two squads as the teams traded possession at the mid
field. Then at the seven minute mark. L,Mas> hall'back
Rebecca Myers collected a loose ball and sent a lead for
forward Rachel LeDuc down the field for the first scoring
opptirlunity of the match. The beginning of the
up and-down battle had begun.
lust over two minutes later, it was Hartford forward
Donna Holyinan who let go a blast from the top of the
penalty bo\. but into the waiting anns of Minutewomen
goaltender Danielle Dion for one of her eight saves on
the night It was Hartford's first sparkling scoring
opportunit>. but certainly would not be
the last.
In the 12th minute of play Julie Magid
started a rush that led to a 27 yard blast
by Myers that sailed wide left. The better
part of the '5'5 minutes remaining in the first half was
spend in the UMass end. That is when junior Erin Lynch
made her presence felt all over the field.
Kour times in the next 15 minutes the Austin.
"PC native cleared balls that were headed for golden scor-
ing chances for the Hawks.
"I lynch I and {Amanda Thompson) did a great job
defensively in terms of saving us in back." Rudy said of
his defenders "They came up with key tackles in key
spots."
"Erin l,ynch is a great player." Daniels added. "We've
always respected the L'Mass defenders, they are always
very solid in the back."
UMass' best scoring opportunities seem to come
from the inexperience of Hartford's freshman goal-

LyncWs play helps L7M salvage tie
By Candke Flemming

HARTFORD. Conn - As the sea
son rolls c'n, Erin Lynch continues to
impress.
The junior defender was one of the
main reasons why the Massachusetts
women's scxcer team escaped with a
scoreless tie last night against the
Hanford Hawks.
Without Lvnch. the
Minutewomen's chances wnuld have
greatly diminished
So many times during the game the
Hawks would be on attack but Lynch
wiiuld stop them, either b> making a
stop with a slide tackle or by getting
to the ball first and kicking it out of
hamis way

In the first hall of last night's

junior defender Erin Lynch continued her outstanding play on the
UMass backline against the Hawks last night in Hartford, Conn.
match. Lynch made consecutive
defensive stops, clearing the ball
awa> at the 22:'50 mark and then
doing the same from Lauren Kulman
minutes later. She continued her stel-
lar play throughout the second half
and into the overtime period, win-
ning every air ball that came her way.
"It seemed like she was winning
ever> ball in the air." said sophomore
goalkeeper Danielle Dion. "I love her
playing in front of me."
Lynch also got forward whenever
an opening presented itself, which
occurred only three or four times.
One of those limes was in the extra
period when Lynch lofted a perfect
ball over the defense to Rachel
LeDuc. who went in alone on the
Hartford goalkeeper, sending a shot
just wide of the far post.
At the start of the game, many of
the Minutewomen were tentative and
nervous. Not Lynch. The 1994
Atlantic 10 Player of the Year was
calm and poised.
"We came out very nervous or
ancy. or something." Lynch said. "We
just couldn't control the ball. I think
we were just nervous."
Lynch's outstanding play was just
an example of how big time players
step up in big games, and against
huge rivals.
"1 thought she was good She's a
great player." Hartford coach Austin
Daniels said "jUMass) is very solid
in the back. We've always respected
UMass' talented defenders. Lynch is
an outstanding player and rose to the
occasion."
The U Mass-Hartford rivalry is one
of the best in the highly <ompelitive
Northeast region. When the two
teams get together, the games are
always of high quality and are
extremely hard-fought. This year was
no different. The two teams played
with a lot of heart.
"|The rivalry's! great." Daniels
said. "I think it's very positive
because both sets of players and fans
respect each other a lot. It's not bit-
ter. It's great for the region and it's
great for the players. It was a good
game | tonight]."

Minutemen extend
win streak to five
By Mike Corey
Collegian Correspondent
The University of Massachusetts men's soccer
team extended it's undefeated streak to five games
yesterday evening in West Springfield, as they
defeated Yale by the score of 1 -0.
Mike Butler, the
sophomore from
Springfield, showed
his homelown crowd
what he is capable ot
doing, scoring the only goal for UMass late in the
first half. With less than one minute remaining.
Butler collected a feed frtmt Dave Siljanovski and
broke away from two Yale defenders to find the
right corner of the goal.
Butler has emerged as an offensive force for the
Minutemen this season. Last night was his seventh
goal ot the year, to go along with six assists, both
second on the team.
In the past five games, UMass has a record of
4-0-1 and has oulscored opponents 14 4. The main
reason has been the outstanding play of senior
goalie E>ic Gruber. who last night recorded I I saves
in his second shutout ot the year. Siljanovski has

night.
BU boasts one of the best penalty
comer units in Div. I field hockey. It
lived up to its reputation converting
in the extra session to give the
Terriers the win.
The win improves Boston
University to 11-2 while
Massachusetts falls to 4-9.
Easily overlooked in the defeat was
a tremendous performance by junior
goalkeeper Stacy Walker. The
Accord, N.Y. native made I 3 saves
against one of the nation's top offens-
es.
"Stacy has been playing great."
Said Massachusetts coach Megan
Donnelly. "She did a great job of
stopping some hard shots and read-
ing fakes. She did a great job. but we
needed to do a better job of clearing
the ball out so she was not facing
opportunity after opportunity.
"Stacy is really developing into a
strong presence and a leader. It's
been nice to see."
Donnelly also pointed to a solid
performance by
Melanie Gore. "Mel
did a great job." she
said. "Melanie is one
of the few defenders
that gets the ball on her stick and
gets it out hard."
Both teams were slow getting start-
ed at the beginning of the game, but
BU got going midway through the
first half, amassing nine penally cor-
ners to only one from the
Minutewomen. Walker kepi UMass
in the game making some spectacular
saves.
Dangerous hitting penalties
plagued the Minutewomen through-
out the contest causing them to lose
possession and kill scoring chances.
In the second half it looked as if
BU had taken a 1 -0 lead on a penalty
comer shot with just over 30 minutes
remaining. The goal was called back,
however, because the shot was too
high. Neither team could convert a
scoring opportunity and the game
went mio overtime.
The sudden death period started
poorly for Massachusetts, as junior
All-America catididale Kyle
Rothenberger took a shot in the face
less than two minutes in.
Rothenberger remained in the game
but was physically dazed.
Boston Llniversiiy earned a penalty
corner shortly after, allowing
Shoenfield to provide her game win
ning heroics.
Ereshinan walk-on Kerry Lyons
saw her first collegiate action in the
contest. Lyons, a native of Norwocxl.
wasn't even on the roster when the
season started, but impressed the
coaches at walk-on tryouts.
She continued to impress them in
practice enough to cam playing time
last night. Donnelly was pleased with
what she saw from Lyons
"Kerry is fast. She's strong and
she's hungry." Donnelly said. "1 know
she's not as experienced as some of
the other players, but you want some-
one on oftense who will lake some
chances,"

Shawn Wallers.
Isrcal Ifeanyi and Errick Hcrrin were all taken off
the liojan leant for allegedly receiving cash from an
agent. The same ageni is involved in both cases.
Who is to blame in this issue'' Is it the agents or
the players'.' The answer — both. Agents are money
hungn and are looking to get their claws into play-
ers when the\ are in college, so that ties will already
be established before these players go pro and make
big bucks. Agents are offering these players money,
which most need badlv and ate exploiting the situa-
tion. There needs to be siiine sort of tampering regu-
lation where agents are reprimanded in some way
for being involved with college players before gradu-
ation.
That, however, is not the way things are and the
responsibiliiy lies with the player. While money is
tempting, especially to those who have never really
had any, players will simply have to be aware of the
fact that if the> are caught they will be the ones left
out in the cold. These players have to realize they
are endangering their careers in college and perhaps
professionally if they get tied up with agents.
What a weekend of games last week in college
football. While OT made the pro game exciting,
upsets ruled the day on campus. First up. the
Kansas layhawks. Kansas used special teams and
defense to shock Colorado. Rick Neuheisel's
Buffaloes could not get it going and were beaten
badly by the layhawks. 40 24.
Northwestern pulled another upset by beating
MiLhigan. The Wolverines were fiusiraled all day by
a lough Northwestern defense and a late intercep-
tion was the nail in the coffin for Lloyd Carr's
squad.
Finally, ihe Texas A&M Aggie*- have to be shak-
ing their heads at the direction their season has
taken. The Aggies had the talent and the schedule to
compete for the national championship. So tar. that

Million black men to march in Washington
By Chris Conner
Collegian .'siaff
On Monday. Washington, D.C. is prepared to be
flooded with one million concerned black males
from across the nation, among them several
University of Massachusetts students.
The "Million Man Mau'h." organized by Nation
of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, has garnered
tremendous support from both his followers and
non-Muslim blacks alike. At present, over 250.000
men are expected to attend the event.
On campus, registration reached 130 by
Wednesday, with many more anticipated to sign
up, according to one of the University organizers,
junior economics major Ronald LXjttin.
"We've over-excecxled the rc-gistration exptvtalion
of 94,' be sjiid. "Right now we have three busc-s."
However. Dotlin noted, ihose three buses hold
only 141 people, meaning that if interest continues to
grow, some students may be left without transporta-
tion, since funding is unavailable to rent another bus.
"The chances of gelling another hw- are slim,"
he said. "We have exhausted all possible funding
within the black communilv. unless the Chancellor
is willing to supply the bus."
Dotlin said a proposal requesting additional aid
given to the office of Chancellor David K. Scott
two weeks ago has not yet received a response.
lunior psychology major loann Colard has been
working on registration as well, having served on
the same planning commillce as Dotlin
The committee, on which Colard was the sole
female, included diverse campus community
members such as vice- chancellor for Campus
Activities M. Ricardo Townes. James Ware and
juslin Harris of Phi Beta Sigma and Dan Lizana
and Kola Olasunde of the Klack Student Union.
Colard said she is in favor of the march, despite
the fact she cannot participate due to her gender.
'I do support the idcxilogy of the march as a day
of atonement." she said. "I feel as though I can
speak tor most black women when I say if
Farrakhan can get into the heads of these black
men. then all the power lo him."
IXjItin also reflected on the urgent message the
march is intended lo convey, and the mood the
sense of purpose is generating on campus.
"I think everybody i>. putnped up." he said
"They're excited and just want lo be pan of history.
At no point in history have one million black males
come together in one place al one time "
The desired positive etjecl the march should
have al UMass was also one of IXjttin's local points.
"I hope [the studenls| gel something from this
eveni and will come back lo campus and be more
productive," he said. "Our generation has yet lo
stand up for a cause. I hope this day of aloncmcnt
will be the start."
The Student GovcrnmenI
Association debated heavily but
failed to pass a motion to make the
Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)
optional in admission criteria at the
University of Massachusetts.
Used in must United Slates high
schools, the SAT is a standardized
lest which helps predict how a siu
dent will perform at the college level.
The healed discussion ended in a
vole of 24-25, againsi making the
SAT optional.
Supporters of the motion argued
that ihe administration places too
much emphasis on the SAT for admis-
sion standards. They believe class
rank. GI'A and overall high school
experience should weigh as much as. if
rK>t more than, a single test
Marc Kenen of the Student Center
for Educational Research and
Advocacy (SCF.RA) mode a prescnia
lion on behalf of letting the students
choose.
"The institution will be forced lo
treat you as an individual and not like
a number." Kcncn said. "It will raise
admissions standards, forcing them to
spend more time reviewing all of a
student's qualifications. No one can
describe you or your qualifications
bascxi on a number.'
SCbRA listed a number of schools
across the country which have
already made the SAT optional.
including the Universities of Maine
and Maryland.
The SAT has also been attacked
for being biased against low-income
students, women and students of
color. SCERA also said the SAT prep
courses price students out of their
chances of improving iheir scores.
Supporters said the motion would
raise ihe standards of the university
and its admissions, rather than lower
it as opponents argue.
The SCERA statistics were
attacked by Sen, Bill Ramsey, who
said they were outdated since the
SAT has been revamped. Ramsey
also argued that making the SAT
optional would actually lower the
standards ol the University
"I'm worried how the stale legisla-
ture is going to perceive this,"
Ramsey said. "We already have lo
pull teeth to get money lo subsidize
expenditures at this school."
Amherst rent conlrpl
The SGA also passed a motion to
.support the Commuter Services and
Housing Resources Center in their
efforts to put the Comniunity
Empowerment Act on the November
\'i^ ballot
The act would provide a nwans of
protecting students who choose to
live off campus from uncontrolled
rent increases,
Joanne Levinson. director of
Housing and Commuter Services,
made a presentation on the impor-
tance of such an act.
East spring. Governor Bill Weld
extended two-year rent proieitions
to every community in the stale
except Amherst. Levinson suid the
reason why Amherst was excUiiled
was for the sole reason that si ulent
renters were to be protected under
the same provision.
Following Weld's decision, an
Amherst town meeting was called
and members voted by a two thirds
majority to retain the review board lo
protect students.
However, this petition was not
signed by Weld aiKl was subsequently
annulled. Levinson said the governor
actually told State Rep Ellen Story
(D-Amhersl) thai he would veto the
bill if it ever came to his desk only
because it "includes students as a
protected category."
Lcvinton's motion was met with
some dissen.sion on the floor. Ic-d by
Sen. Dan Kiltredge.
"If {landlords] own the property,
they should be able to charge whatever
they want." he said. "It's a frix" market.
That's what this country is based on "
Despite this opposition, the nioiion
lo eixlorse the act was pas.scxi bv ihe
majority. Levinson and her grviup plan
to collect 86.0UU signatures
slate-wide in order lo put it on the
ballot next fall.
Faculty sponsors convention
In other orders of business, the
SGA passc-d a motion to endorse the
faculty sponsored Convention I'n the
Future of Public Higher Educ.iiion.
The motion was made by Channian
Phil Copcland of ihe Commiiuc on
University Policy,
The conference will address ihe
issues of quality and the price of a
higher education. As a faculty initia-
tive, it will be conducted in conjunc-
tion with students and alumni.
Cuban women's plight discussed
Speaker explains affects of policy on womeny Cuban society
Andce Ku
Collegian Com-spondenl
The University of Massachusetts department of
women's studies and Latin American studies presented
Maria Del Carmen Cano Secade in an informal discus-
sion on "Cuban Policy and Its Effect on Women and the
Family,"
The discussion took place
on Oct, II. in the Campus
Center,
The issues discussed were
the concerns of women and
the family during the shifts
of Cuban policy.
According to Secade, the
demanded responsibilities
for an average Cuban woman
is far greater than it ever was
before. Secade also slated
later on, 'the expcclation of
women has not diminished,
but Ihe resources have.
"Children go to school at a very
young age. But there is no money
to support children under 1 1 years
of age to go to school, ei'en the
money used to support the middle
school has also diminished.
Therefore, the responsibilities of
children 's education lies upon the

in food services, arts and
crafts, and interior decoration for the Federal or local
buildings.
There are also movements in getting women out of the
house, and for their empowerment. However, one of the
drawbacks of these movements is the increase of the
divorce rate among Cuban women, Secade said.
On the other hand, the expansion of the tourist indus-
try within the past two years also cau,scd some problems.
One of the most important issues the Cuban government
faced recently was the increase of the prostitution rale,
especially among young girls.
"We can pretty much predict that both of the moral
and lainily values will take a sharp decline." said Secade.
In Sunday's /V>n' York Times. President Clinton
announced plans to lessen travel restrictions into Cuba
and take other steps to increase people to pivple contacts
within the country.
As for iamilies. however, because of the ongoing eco-
nomic crisis, the money for children to continue within a
higher education system has declined.
"Children go lo school al a very young age. But there is
no money lo support children under I I years of age lo go
lo school, even the money used to support the middle
school has also diminished."
-^^— — ^— ^— ^^^— Secade said. "Therefore, the
responsibilities of children's
education lies upon the
shoulders of different family
members."
As .for Cuba's youth,
their generation has heard
many stories of revolution
through second hand
sources.
Therefore, they have
placed a high expectation on
the government based upon
past events.
The youth questioned the
legitimacy of power held by
government officials.
In response, Ihe govcrn-
menl developed a variety of
recreation outlets for these
youths, such as camping, said Secade.
Events such as camping with a group of people their
own age. provided the Cuban youths with a sense of fami-
ly values and friendships explained Secade.
The young Cuban population of today also faced one
of the most confusing eras of Cuban history ranging
from the confusion of Ihe past revolution, to the diversi-
ty of cultures that have influenced Cuba, such as our
Western culture explained Secade,
Secade said "the fulure vision for women in Cuba is
very confusing."
In a contrasting opinion, Ann Ferguson, the director of
women's studies from UMass explained, "the role for
Cuba's women in the fulure depends heavily upon the
decision of President Clinton — if he is willing to case the
50-years-old embargo on Cuba."

Yesterday some students may have
found their calling at the
Undergraduate Business Club's
Annual Career Day.
'This is the kick off to the recruii-
ing season." said Sarah Rudd, secre
tary of the club and senior marketing
major.
About 50 companies were present,
and over 800 students attended the
fair, said Michael Condon, president
of the club and a senior management
major with a concentration in eco-
nomics.
Condon said this is the best
turnout in a long time.
"Students today are more interest-
ed in their future." Condon said.
"They understand the importance of
experience in order to succeed."
The fair was primarily for seniors
graduating in May with business
degrees. A few companies were
looking for non- business majors,
and a few offered internships, liudd
said.
"The Tair was a great opportunity
for students to learn about career
paths, and a perspective of what lies
ahead in the future." Condon said.
He said companies could help steer
students in the right direction.
Many students who attended the
fair said they agreed with Condon.
"A fair is a great thing to have for
students," said Paiii Cusimano. a
senior marketing major. "The
employers really clarify the whole
Ijob searching] process."
Todd Fink, a senior marketing
major, said he came down to simply
hand out resumes and get a feel for
the job market.
"I'm glad they have this on cam-
pus," Fink said. "I've found some
interesting companies."
Some of the companies present
were well known national corpora-
tions, while others were smaller
stale-wide firms. One statewide com-
pany present was Star Market, a gro-
cery chain in the Boston area.
"We arc expanding quickly, so this
is a good opportunity for us and stu-
dents." said John Prince. Star Market
corporate recruiter. "We are recruit-
ing heavily."

THE MASSACHUSETTS DAILY COLLEGIAN
Professors receive foreign honors
Fish gets doctorate; rooms named for communications profs
By Bryan Schwartzmon
Collegian Staff
Two University of Massachusetts
professors — Susan T. Fisk of the
psychology department and two pro-
fessors from the communications
deparimcnt — have been honored by
European institutions in the past few
weeks.
On Oct. 6, Fisk, a UMass distin
guished professor of psychology was
awarded an honorary doctorate from
the University Caiholiquc de Louvain
in Belgium. The nominating process
"went all the way up to ihe Lector,"
which is the equivalent of our chan-
cellor, according to Fisk.
Fisk is widely recognized in the
field of psychology for her work in
social psychology and stereotyping.
She has been a distinguished profes-
sor since 1992. and has published
often since 1975.
She is a big part of the exchange
program between the University
Catholique de Louvain and UMass.
The exchange program was created
1 5 years ago by Seymor Burger, for-
mer dean of Social and Behavioral
Sciences and head of the psychology
department.
"Science is international — it is
imporiant for students and faculty to
be exposed to thinking in Europe,"
Fisk said. One of her aims is to "let
the Americans know how good the
research in Belgium is."
Fisk has also gone to Belgium to
serve on several Ph.D. dissertation
committees.
KCC International London recent-
ly named a room in honor of UMass
communications professor Vernon E.
Cronon. and another in honor of for-
mer UMass Professor W. Barnelt
Pearce. KCC began as a small family
therapy firm in the early 1980s, and
has grown to become one of the
largest privaie consulting firms in
Great Britain.
Cronon said that the main func-
tion of a private consulting firm is
to "give private consultations and
offer courses in systematic manage-
ment and family therapy." The firm
now runs training in intercullural
communication in various different
countries such as Denmark,
Sweden. South Africa, and
Australia. They also run outreach
programs in inner cities, and are
training community leaders to aid
women who have been displaced by
war in Yugoslavia.
Cronon said he met a representa-
tive from KCC at a conference and
was asked about the Coordinated
Management of Meaning theory
(CCM). Cronon was invited to
London where he introduced the
firm's instructors to CCM.
CCM was developed by Pearce.
Cronon described CCM as a "way of
studying interaction patterns in com-
munity groups. "It is neither a psy-
chological or sociological perspec-
tive," Cronon said.
Greg Macdonald. a student in
Cronon's introduction to communi-
cations theory class said, "hie does a
great job of relating real life stories to
textbook type of theory."
The class focuses on interpersonal
communication and the way people
communicate, as well as studying the
language in this type of context.
Water Watch cleans local town lakes
By Dave LaFontona
Collegioo Stall
The Americorps Water Watch Program is continuing its
work towards cleaning up surface water in the Pioneer
Valley.
Program coordinators are working with local environ-
mental groups lo continue trash removal, water analysis
and educating people on clean water awareness.
On Sept. 30, the program had its first stream clean-up,
which included hauling almost two tons of garbage from a
farmer's dump at Amethyst Brook. The second clean-up
will be Oct 14 at the Mill River In Northampton and
Cushman Brook in Amherst.
"Thiriy-eight volunteers showed up at Amethyst Brook
last time to help us clear out old car parts, and lots of
glass, plastic, and rubber." said Water Waich
Coordinator |ai Sood. "After we removed all of that
garbage, a lot of bank was missing. We needed to build
up the banks by filling in the dump site with dirt and
rocks.*
The clean-up was considcrc-d a "great success" by the
coordinators, Sood said. Stale Rep. Ellen Story
(D-Amherst) even made an appearance during the after-
noon to speak with the group.
"Representative Story lives near the Brook." Sood said.
"And she stopped by to thank us for the work we were
doing."
Along with the trash removal, the Water Watch Program
is working with members of the Amhersi Conservation
Commission. Together they will be mapping and monitor
ing Warner Ijike in North lladley
"Warner l.ake has too much vegetation surrounding il."
said coordinator lessyca Harris. "It's too producli%e
Fertilizers, like nitrate and phosphate, are seeping into the
lake from surrounding farms, and weeds and algae are
growing so much thai the lake is getting stopped up
"Because it's so fertile, the lake has more vegetation than
it can hold. The algae dies, decomposes, and the lake loses
all of its oxygen."

Annex explains pricing system
By lonalhan Liberty
Collegian Staff
"I think they are totally ripping us off." said
sophomore Toni Wilcenski. "They don't reuse most
books and they don't even pay half price at the buy-
back."
Many students like Wilcenski say ihey feel thai the
Textbook Annex takes advantage of iheni b> over-
charging for books, and then turning a lai^e margin of
profit.
"I had to buy an Anthropology reader for $16, and
the photocopies are bad." first-year student Erica
Geller said. "It is ridiculous."
However, Textbook Annex Manager Scott Cashman
said the annex is not out to cheat students.
"Our sole purpose is service, not money." he said.
"The faculty ntvd materials lo enable ihc education of
their students: we provide the materials "
As a part of Auxiliary Services, the annex operates
as a branch of the University store, and works through
the Campus Center.
The annex uses a long-standing policy involving the
buying and selling of new books. The Annex buys
books from the publishers at 75 percent of the list
price, then sells the books at 95 perceni of the list
price.
Cashman said the 20% price increaH* docs not lead
to salary incentives for the management.
"We are all Male employees with fixed salaries." he
said. "We receive no incentives from our sales.*
Cashman also explained that because the annex is a
self- supported organization which receives no state or
University funds or student fees, the 20 percent price
increase becomes necessary. Shipping costs, student
and staff salaries, plus departments such as account-
ing, purchasing and Campus Center maintenance split
the profits.
Within the past six years the Annex has raised the
number of used books in their inventory from 12 to
approximately '55 percent, using a strict system.
Cashman explains that used books have become a
national irulustry. with seven wholesalers now in busi-
ness. These wholesalers sell used books to the annex
for 50 percent of the list price, which the annex then
raises lo 75 peaeni for sale.
This 25 percent surplus product goes directly to the
Campus Center, Cashman said.
The semi-annual textbook buyback gives students a
chance to gel back some of the money spent on texts.
Cashman said that if the faculty informs the annex
about the books which will be reusc-d the following
semester, the annex pays 50 perceni of the full price to
the students, and 50 percent for books which go
directly lo the national wholesaler Therefore, if more
faculty would let the Annex know about their book
lists, students would be able to earn more money for
their used books, Cashman said.
During the 1*115 fiscal year, students were paid
approximately $5«4,IXX), according to Cashman.

All talk gets you nowhere
I
etc.
I's the same old arguinenl cvcrv time an cicctiun
comc!. around. "All the candidates are lousy,
they're all cr«x>kcd. I'm not gonna vole for anyone."
Bob Dunn
lt"s been said many times before that people have
become more cynical about politics
because politicians have become
worse.
Put a different spin on that lor a
second and think maybe, just maybe,
politicians have become worse
because people have become more
cynical about politics.
The public has an increasingly
short attention span, and politicians
know it Everyone will eventually for-
get about ail the wrongdoing that has
come before, and welcome them hack
with open arms.
Richard Nixon was. lo most
observers, the biggest political mon-
ster to ever crawl out from under-
neath a rock when Watergate broke. Twenty years later,
he was tearfully remembered as a flawed elder statesman.
That's a historical rewrite of Orwellian proportions
The list goes on. Nixon's own right hand man. G
Gordon Liddy. who's done his own share of prison
time, has his own talk show. Oliver North, who blatant-
ly lied to Congress and hid behind his orders, ran for
office in Virginia and even popped up on television last
week with a guest shot on JAG George Bush, who
never adequately explained his role in the Iran-Contra
deal, and who manipulated the press and public sympa-
thy in order to secure our oil interests overseas, was
caught yukking it up with Dana Carvey on Haiurday
V/g/i( tire.
They gel away with it because, well, we let them. We
just choose to forget, shrug our shoulders and say. "Ah
well, what are you going lo do"^"
What you can do is not forget. Keep in mind every
lime a politician wrongs us. If someone you know stole
money from you. or lied to you. you'd remember it.
wouldn't you"* Some (xjlilicians play off the fact people
won't remember their past, and they'll buy their book,
or tune into their show, or vote for them again and
again.
Get up, get mad. get
involved, and take that
Generation X. slacker,
conch potato image and
cram it down their
throats. I'AX 'em if they
can 't take a joke.
People tend to forget they all work for us. We hire
them, we pay them and we can fire them.
I keep hearing another argument from people who are
convinced politicians aren't concerned with the same
things the citizenry is.
_^^^^_^^___ The answer to that one is pretty
simple: Tell them.
Everyone from state representatives
all the way up through the president
have office numbers. FAX numbers,
some, including the President, have
E-mail addresses. Use them.
The problem with politicians being
able to pin down the "youth vote" is
that it's loo big of a target. Everyone
under 50 doesn't neatly fit into one
category that can be polled, poked,
prodded, processed and analyzed.
How can you single out a voter in a
demographic group that embraces
tie- dye shirts and lap-top comput-
ers'." Dark beer and gummi bears?

and they may not be the same ones with which you agree.
Get up. get mad. get involved, and take that Generation
\. slacker, couch potato image and cram it down ihcir

No one candidate will probably ever fulfill all of your
(xjliiical wishes. To be honest, it may come down to not
who you like the most, but who you hate the least. Life
is full of choices between the lesser of two evils.
"Should ! pay this speeding ticket, or go to jail?"
"Should I pay for a tune up. or let my entire transmis-
sion just drop out onto the highway in a twisted mess'.'"
"Should I vole for the one who I just mostly agree with,
or just not show up lo the polls and let someone else
make ihe decision for me'.'" If you don't vole, you can't
bitch.
The thing to do is reali-^c that your voice does matter,
your vote does count. You need to be aware, alert,
involved and active. The government is />v the people and
for the people. Take it back. Never forgive, never forget
and never give up.

It's becoming a disappearing act
Erin
Barnes
The most recent listing distrib-
uted by the United States Eish
and Wildlife Service notes
Ihal over 700 species are presently
endangered. 200 species are threat-
ened with endangerment, and -1.000
"candidate" species await classifica-
tion.
These numbers are only a fraction
of the problem. By century's end.
500.000 to one million species are
expected lo vanish. Given these
astounding figures, the protection of
plants and animals should be of
utmost importance. Obviously, this
sentiment is not shared by all as the
Endangered Species
Act — a law the
United Slates
Supreme Court calls
"the most comprehen-
sive legislation for the
preservation of endangered species
ever enacted by any nation" — is
under heavy political attack.
The Endangered Species Act
(ESAl was signed into law in 1973
by former Republican President
Richard Nixon. The law provides
for the listing of "endangered"
species, those in danger of extinc-
tion, as well as "threatened" species
who are likely to become endan-
gered in the near future. Under the
ESA, no individual may "harass,
harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound,
kill, trap or capture..." listed fish or
wildlife.
Currently. United Stales Fish and
Wildlife Service regulations extend
"harm" lo include damage to a
species' environment, where such
disruption impairs behavioral and
reproductive patterns. Conservative
congressional members believe that
the idea of "harm" encompassed by
the ESA is too broad and would like
to narrow its definition.
Critics such as these claim the ESA
has been ineffective in achieving its
objectives. They contend the law has
become a bureaucratic nightmare and
an impending threat lo private prop-
erly rights. Besides, even Charles
Darwin agrees extinction is a natural
process. Certainly this is true. What
we must concern ourselves with,
however, is how normal the rale at
which species extinction progresses.
Betwivn 1600 and 1950. the rale of
extinction for birds and mammals
increased four-fold, and between
1850 and 1950. the extinction rate
was one species per year. Based on
natural evolutionary
processes, we would
expect one extinction
every 100 to 1.000
years. However, with
human influence, the
rate is 100 lo 1.000 times faster than
it would be otherwise. Federal officials
estimate that more than 500 native
species have gone extinct over the past
200 years — half of those since 1 980.
Presently, there are one and a half
million species described by science.
10 percent of which may be threat-
ened globally. Those species
described by science are just a frac-
tion of the overall numbers since
some estimate that 10 to 50 million
species occur on earth today. Most of
these yel-io-be-recognizcd species
occur in the tropics, where sadly, we
are losing 125 acres of tropical forest
per minute.
There are numerous causes of
species extinction: toxic pollution,
over-harvesting and the aforemen-
tioned deforestation. However, the
most pressing problem faced by all
species is habitat destruction.
For example, since 1700. the
lower 48 states have lost more than
half of their wetlands to conversion
or construction. This is unfortunate
given that nearly half of all species
listed under the ESA have wetland
habitats.
But more times than not, endan-
gert-d species habitat is found on pri-
vate properly — a hot-button issue
for conservative policy-makers. The
clash between preserving private
property rights and protecting endan-
gered species is sharpened by the var-
ious opinions regarding the benefits
species can give. Of course, benefits
estimates such as these extend into
the larger, more complicated realm of
how we value nature as a whole,
playing into individual tastes and
ethics.
Nonetheless, while properly val-
ues are easy to estimate, the aesthet-
ic, let alone, intrinsic value of
species diversity is not as simple to
calculate. We do know, however,
that more than half of all prescrip-
tion drugs in the U.S. derive from
wild species, and their habitats often
help clean water supplies and pro-
vide oxygen.
The Endangered Species Act is up
for reauthorization, and its future
may come down to a regional battle
among congressional Republicans. A
recent Times Mirror poll found that
75 percent of respondents agree gov-
ernment protection for endangered
species should remain the same or be
increased. And right now. at a cost of
less than a dollar a year per taxpayer,
it's a bargain.
Species protection is important,
though undervalued in the eyes of
many policy-makers. As citizens, we
must understand we do not have a
blanket right to use the land as we
wHsh. Besides, just who's backyard is
it anyway?

The terrorizing reality
Am I justifying terror-
ism? That depends on
what the word means.
When the powers that
he like a political move-
ment, they call its sol-
diers revolutionaries.
This week's attack on an Amtrak train in Arizona is
just another reminder that we aren't immune from
terrorism just because our flag happens to be red.
white and blue. The sabcuage reputes the arrogant notion
that American soil is exempt from premeditated political
violence.
Many of our countnTnen cling to the idea that, because
we are lucky enough to live in the llrsl-ranked nation in the
First World, we are somehow above terror as a form of
revolt. This concept is racist to its core.
"Terrorism is for brvwTi people, pagans
and lolks with silly-sounding names.
"Terrorism is for places like
Tripoli. Sarajevo and Beirut." But
Beirut was one of the world's most
beautiful cities not too long ago.
Lebanon was eventually torn apart by
political differences, and primarily
because of radical religious move-
ments in combat. Sound iamiliar?
So, add New York. Oklahoma City
and Arizona lo that list ol
-leru-rist-friendly places." Also add the \Yljr,„ fU,^ ./.,„ > fU^^,

opened up suspicious packages they
re-ceived without a return addres.sc*s.
The media calls this violence
"domestic terrorism" — except, of
course, at the World Trade Center, where a jury has deter-
mined that Those People did it. After U.S. military veter-
an Tim McVeigh tore a chunk out of the Murrah Building
in Oklahoma City, many cried out that Those People had
done it again, and. in fact, had seen a few of them nishing
down the street right after the blast.
But Those People didn't do it in Oklahoma — our own
people did. And. by calling all of these acts "domestic ter
rorism," the media wants us to believe they are all the
same, and all with the same intent. In reality, each of
these acts is discrete, different statements unequal in the
level of cowardice.
No one seriously believes Timothy McVeigh's ethics are
the same as the Unabomber's. McVeigh blew up an office
building, quite possibly choosing it specifically because
there was a daycare center inside. The Unabomber,
though still a criminal, chooses only those who he believes
are actually responsible for the reality he opposes. He
doesn't bk)w up toddlers.
Peter Orvetti
The media wants us to equate McVeigh and the
Unabomber because the media wants us to believe the
two men are equally cowardly and depraved. Why?
Bcxause the Unabomber's ideology directly strikes at the
megacorporations that own television. McVeigh's gooly.
cryptofascist individualism only makes corporate domina-
tion of society easier.
Am I justifying terrorism? That depends on what the
word means. When the powers that be like a political
movement, they call its soldiers revo-
lutionaries. When they don't, they
call them terrorists. And when they
are genuinely frightened of a group in
insurrection, they trivialize the issue.
No one even considered calling the
Los Angeles rioters terrorists — that
would mean admitting they were
political. Writing them off as looters
let us ignore the issue. Our cities are
in a stale of revolution. Do you hon
estly think 14-year-olds are shooting
each other and police because they're
bored?
The United Slates was founded by
angry individualists, grassroots politi-
cal radicals who formed illegal organi-
zations and passed guns around. They
crouched behind rocks and hid behind
buildings, and shot and killed govern-
ment soldiers. Paul Revere and Nathan Hale were terror-
ists George Washington headed an anti-government mili-
tia movement.
There is no such thing as "Sons of Gestapo." Whoever
really knocked that train off the tracks is trying to throw
the FBI ofl their trail. We have seen rightist violence in
Oklahoma, leftist violence with the Unabomber. and reli-
gious violence in New York. The Arizona incident could
be any of these — or an upstart new entrant into the ter
ror game.
Resentment and frustration have turned violent, and wc
won't know why until we admit these are not isolated
incidents. This violence is a form of revolution. Such
resentment can be harnessed into a positive, progressive
lorce lor change, but we have all been loo busy assigning
these groups lo the lunatic fringe lo do so. Until then,
wc II have to deal with random attacks. Terrorism: it's not
just for Those People anv more.

Article blatantly
offensive
To the Editor:
I became absolutely infuriated
while reading Hussein Ibish's col-
umn "The mind of white
America." This column was so
outrageously racist it should have
been called "I hate White People."
Personally. I thought 0.|.
Simpson was innocent and was
very glad that he got off. Yet,
according to Hussein, since I'm a
white American. 1 was outraged
and "gnarled my teeth" when I
found out that he was found not
guilty. Then, it is written that
whites wanted to protect Mark
Fuhrnian from scrutiny. Are you
kidding me? Why would whites
want to protect a man who
brought down our entire race?
This wouldn't make any sense at
all. The final thing is t^at Mr.
Ibish complains that there is a
double standard toward
African-Americans in our society.
I don't think you can complain
about double standards in our
society Mr. Ibish, when you write
about racism, and you're a racist
and bigot yourself.

Roots of white
racism
To the l:ditor:
Paradoxically, the current rage
being exhibited by many European
American citizens regarding the
acquittal of 0.|. Simpson, by a jury
that was preponderantly comprised
of African Americans, is actually
the result of self-delusion on their
part.
To be sure, the Great Racial
Divide, that is both the intellectual
and practical fortress of this coun-
try's politics, was neither instituted
nor is it perpetuated by African
Americans. On the contrary, those
who mean-spiritedly pit' ihem-
.selves against Black folks, by call-
ing themselves "white." thus
becoming part of an artificial
majority group, are wholly respon-
sible for the separation mentioned
above.
The concept of whiteness is an
ideological construction, a phony
claim, lews. Irish, Poles. Italians
and other Europeans of only a few
generations ago were not even con-
sidered white. In fact, in their
homelands, only economic status
distinguished them from their fel-
low countryfolks.
Additionally, since the North
American descendants of the
aforementioned European peoples
deny their true historical and cul-
tural pasts by opting to be white,
they are then easily able to either
Ignore or trivialize the past and
present experiences of people of
African descent in North
America.
The consequence of the earlier
mentioned denial is a whole body
of citizens who have tricked them-
selves into believing that they are
part of "The Race" which exempli-
fit-'s all that is and has ever been
good about humanity. "Why can't
we all be the same?" (which trans-
lates into "Why can't we be all
white?") then becomes the com-
mon philosophical question
amongst them, revealing the .social.
cultural and political hegemony of
white racism.
Moreover, with such inquiry in
mind, many European Americans
cannot fathom how any
"American" could possibly see the
Simpson trial differently than
Ihemselves. What these folks fail to
realize is. those who cannot pheno-
lypieally claim whiteness have dif
fcrent interests than the former.
and therefore, a dissimilar melkxl
of analyzing things.

Take these new singles for a spin on your table
Verbena's net*; pop song wins single of the week; The Mitchells feature their addictive tune
Friday, CXtotxT 1.1, IW.S / fa^e 5
This week in Liner Notes we arc going to take a look
at several recent 7" singles that deserve a spin or two on
your turntable. It seems that in the past year the populari-
ty of the seven inch single has increased greatly. The fol-
lowing singles are all recommended.
VERBENA — "I Say So" + 1 (Merge)
Hailing from the deep south of Birmingham, Alabama.
Verbena is a brand spanking new band who have seem-
ingly come out of nowhere to release one of the finest
songs of the year. "I Say So" is an extremely addictive
low-fi pop song featuring really sweet boy-girl vocals.
"Silver Queen" has a more Southern feel with it's slow
country-like beat that also features the dual vocals that
help this band make their mark in the world of 7" singles.
This is the pick single of the week.
GO SAILOR — "Long Distance" + 5 (Slumberland)
Rose Melberg is an underground pop hero. She first
gained notoriety with the ultra cute Tiger Trap and since
their break-up she has switched between roles with the
Softies and Go Sailor. This is her most consistent
post-Trap release yet. The B Side is as
catchy as they come with "Blue Sky" sung
by Rose and "The Boy Who Sailed
Around The World" on which Paul of the
Delightful Little Nothings takes over th«
vocal duty. Go Sailor Go.
-R U A Believer" ♦ 1
coutTisT Mtaci ncotos
Verbena voted single of the week.
THE MAKE UP
(K)
Upon hearing "R U A Believer." one
would never guess that this band feature's
ex-members of Nation of Ulysses. The
Make Up sound is more along the lines of a band from
Prince's Paisley Park then a band with roots in the DC.
punk scene. The hit song is a fun piece with a lunky
dance- like beat which it is quite short. On the B side is a
Dub Narcotic re-mix of the same song.
THE MITCHELLS - "Five Minutes" ♦ I (self released)
'Fhe opening moments of any tune are- essential to keep a
listener's intere-st and. well, not too many songs are- as imme-
diately appealing as "Five Minutes " After five scxonds you
will find yourself bobbing your head to the bass line. But
don't worry — the re-sl of the song stands on its own espe-
cially thanks to lead singer Calcb'<> unique vocal delivery
SCUD MOUNTAIN BOYS — "Knicvel" (Sub Pop)
The secret is out of ihe-bag — the Scud Mountain Boys
rule. Over the past couple years this band has become a
favorite with local music fans of all ages but now their
popularity will spread much further with this stellar
release. With the additkjn of a drummer the band rocks a
bit harder than ever before on "Knievel," while "1/2 Wav"

Hawthorne's novel gets mangled by Moore
By Laura Slock
Collegian Staff
mfscAfftfrifrm
Directed by Roland JoFfe
with Demi Moore, Gory Otdnxin
Playirtg at Hompshire Six
Leave it lo Hollywood lo mangle
another classic work of literature.
The Scarlet Letter will merely serve
lo poison the minds of high school
students who are supposed to be
reading the novel around this time of
year — a detestable practice, but one
we must admit occurs, lo every
English teacher's chagrin.
Not that director Roland |offe is
required by any law to follow
Nathaniel Hawthorne's masterpiece
word for word; but if he was going to
change the beginning, the end. and
most of the middle, the least he could
have done was make a good movie.
Yes. the rumors are true, joffe's
inierpre'lation of "The Scarlet Letter"
does more than just stray from the
actual plot — it warps the story until
it is nearly unrecognizable.
Demi Moore, who is now the high-
est paid actress in Hollywood, plays
the not-so Puritanical Hester Prynnc.
As one can see from the actress'
resume. Moore is rarely cast as as a
conservative woman (as in the
steamy Disclosure), so the adultery
plot is significantly played up in The
Scarlet Letter.
It is evident that making Hester
Prynne a sex symbol was not the
film's main intention, but it just sort ■
of happens. There are two reasons
why the film takes on a sexy mode
rather than a serious one.
First, there's the story change. The
wav Hawthorne wrote it. the story
commenced with an already pre-gnani
Hcsier. and the mystery was figuring
out who was ihe father. The film,
however, begins with Hester coming
to America to prepare* a home for her-
self and her husband, who is making
the voyage separately. She then spies
the handsome Reverend Arthur
Dimmesdalc {Immortal Beloved's
Gary Oldman) swimming nakc-d in a
misty lagoon and is instantly attracted
to him. The forbidden re>mance builds,
and the infamous adultery occurs.
Secondly, there's Demi Moore,
who attempts to portray the serious
and pious side of Hester, but fails
miserably. We can't believe her when
she says she reads "every day"
because she never picks up a book.
Instead, she hangs out with the other
outcast women who sit in a sewing
circle, gossiping about the other
women in town.
When she's not drooling over
Dimmesdale in church, she's having
sex with him in a pile of oats in a
bam. (Hawthorne probably rolled in
his grave when he saw thai one.) And
as we all know, whenever Demi is
pregnant, she has to show it — naked.
The rest of the cast does little to
make up for Moore-'s utterly lacking
performance. Give him credit for
having a perfect accent and long,
flowing hair, but Gary Oldman gives
us his usual over-acting fare (the
ranting, the raving, the arbitrary
explosions). More seriousness is
stripped from the story when the
Reverend suddenly decides, in a mat-
ter of days, that he loves Hester and
commits the mortal sin of sleeping
with her.
Robert Duvall (The Paper) is won-
derful in his small part as Hester's
madman husband. Chillingworth. He

Demi Moore and Gary Oldman's forbidden love in The Scarlet Letter
has that maniacal look in his eyes and
literally froths at the mouth as he
plans his revenge for the man who
Impregnated his wife.
Beside's joffe's lame attempt to add
symbolism lo the film with some stu-
pid red bird that flies around the
whole movie, the worst part of the
film is definitely its criticized and con-
troversial "Hollywood happy-ending."
In a rexent interview with Premiere
magazine. Moore commented on the
numerous changes made from book
to film.
"In truth, nol many people have
read the tniok, or if they have, it's
been so long ago. So if they get
caught up in the notion thai it's some
kind of betrayal of classic literature,
then it's never going to work for
them."
I don'i know who you are- trying to
kid. Demi, but this film won't work
for anyone — regardless of whether
or nol they have read the book. You
may have a big. red "A" on your
chest, but the Scarlet Letter gets a

Researchers simplify spending
By Amy H. Porodysz
Collegian Staff
NORTHAMPTON - Greg
Specter has spent more than a decade
trying to make sense of the federal
budget.
As director of the non-profit
National Priorities Project, he and his
staff simplify the data and educate
thousands of activists through their
annual report, as well as speeches.
taxes, meetings and radio programs.
Last spring, the Project published
their 72-page Creating a Common
\gvnda: Siraiegies For Our
Communities, a detailed explanation
as to "What's Happening to America?"
"In the last 15 years, this country
has experienced a massive a-distribu-
tion of wealth." they wrote.
The report was featured on
(.'Span in April, which led viewers
tti order copies of the otherwise
unmarketed report. Many of those
who requested copies were involved
with political organizations, such as
lobs with Peace and American
Friends Service Committix'.
The report included a six-point
agenda which the Western
Massachusetts Progressive Alliance
look to the State Democratic Issues
Convention at the Mullins Center in
June, and the plan was adopted by
the Convention.
The Project also published
four-page summary reports for
activists in 55 cities, explaining in
■-imple language how federal cuts in
social programs are affecting their
|)articular city.
lor example, according to the
Springfield report, the child poverty
rate is 54 percent and "housing costs
have risen 1 18 times the rate of infla-
tion."
Dollar for dollar
.At limes, the small second floor
office near Thome's Market, where
Specter and Research Coordinator
Angela Goebel Bain work, is like a
whirlwind. Then, after the radio
show or after the report goes to the
printers, there is the quiet after the
storm.
Yesterday was one of those whirl-
winds. Yet. Specter always has time
to explain the alTc-cts of what he con-
siders to be inappropriate budget pri-
orities.
"Congress wants to increase mili
tary spending about $b-7 million
above what the Pentagon has asked
lor (for this upcoming yearj." said
Specter, a former VISTA worker. 'At
the same time they're cutting funds
to the poorest school systems in the
country."
"Every dollar increased on the
defense is a dollar less for any other
social program." said research con-
sultant Carlos Lopes. "It has to be
{that way) in order for them to stay
on their path toward zero deficit."
Goebel Kain expressed trustration
that some ol the recent Congressional
debates she considers important have
been scheduled at the last minute and
"just before |a proposed bill) went to
commlltec."
"Nobody knows the important of
the decisions being made in
Washington on local communities
and on local people." said Speeter.
who used Springfield's economic
hardships as an example. He is giving
four speeches in that city over the
next couple weeks.
'They're talking about a $270 bil-
lion cut in Medicare over five years,
while they want to provide a $245
billion tax break that will go primari-
ly to the wealthiest Americans."
Sp>eeter said.
"The Republicans are waging class
warfare." he said. "The richest 1 per-
cent in 1976 owned 14 percent of the
wealth. They now own 40 percent of
the wealth due in part to the tax
breaks they were granted in the
1980s."
Looking forward and backward
The Project is currently working
with the Rainbow Coalition, a nation-
al multicultural grass roots organiza-
tion nationally organized by lesse
lackson. as well as several other
groups which made up the Common
Agenda Coalition. They work in
cooperation with the coalition's
Washington. DC. director, jolynn
Brooks.
The Project staff, including
fundraiser |on Steinberg, is looking
forward to an appearance by Bemice
Sanders, an Independent congress-
man from Vermont, at their fall
fundraiser on Oct. 22.
Also. Speeter will be speaking at
several classes at the University of
Massachusetts in the next month.
Until 1991. The National
Priorities Project used to be a part of
the Center for Organization and
Community Development, which was
a part of the education department at
UMass.
"Then we just ran out of space."
Speeter said in the cluttered office

Comics find a niche
with NoHo oddities
By Keith C. McCormic
Collegian Staff
Northampton, because of the prox-
imity of the five colleges, and the
associated wcirdness this brings, has
become host to a number of excellent
specialty establishments. Among
these can be counted the following
three, all of which specialize in serv-
ing fans of sci-fi and fantasy:
The Words and Pictures Museum
Phone: =)«b-8545
Hours:
Tues. - Fri., 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Sat. 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Sun, 12 p.m. to i p.m.
Admission
Adults: $5
Students and Seniors: S2
Children under: SI
The Words and Pictures museum,
which describes itself as a "Museum
of Fine Sequential .Art' is, in fact, a
comic book museum. Il has played
host to art by world-famous illusira
tors, such as Brian Froud (whose
work inspired the film The Park
CryilalJ not to mention hordes of
lesser- known artists.
Located on Main Street, just east
of Thome's. Words and Pictures can
be instantly recognized Irom a dis-
tance by virtue of the giant gargoyle
which adorns its roof. The windows
contain silhouettes of famous comic
characters: and at street level, a
top-dowTi view of an illustrator's stu-
dio gives passers-by a glimpse into
the life of a comic book artist.
Immediately mside the door, a stat-
ue of a "Predator'" (from the movie
Predator) keeps a solemn vigil.
Beyond it. guests will find the muse-
um's well stocked and even better
decorated gift shop. Those in the
know will recognize some of the
objects dangling from the ceiling as
toys based on Star H'urs (each one of
which is worth a lot of money t.
Thca-. I will stop. To fully describe
this amazing museum would ceriainly
take several pages, or at least 100
pictures; and besides. I wouldn't
want to spoil all the surprises.
Bob's Hobbies 2
Phone: 58t>-5b67
Bob's Hobbies is a comic book and
collectibles card store. That's all it
does but they're good at it.
Located in a basement on King
Street (about a block from Subway)
Bob's is a tiny store, made even tinier
by the racks, bins and shelves of mer-
chandise. At times, the store might
be difficult to move in. because not
more than a handful of people would
fill it.
Even so, their inventory is impres-
sive for a shop of their size, and the
way that they seem to always be able
to get things leaves you wondering
which of those boxes is the secret
switch... you know, the one that
turns the store into a crime-fighting
headquarters, full of high-tech crook-
busting equipment!
SpaceCrime Conlinum
Phone: 584-0«»94
Hours:
Tues- Sat. 1 1 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Sun. 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Located on King Street, right next
to Subway, and about a block south
of Bob's Hobbies, the SpaceCrime
Conlinum is a strange anomaly.
Somehow, a specialized biokstore.
the likes of which are usually only
found in much, much larger cities,
has appeared in the center of the
Happy Valley.
lust inside the store's rather unas
suming dcxjrway. the casual observer
might see just a bunch of books.
However, lor those illuminated indi-
viduals interested in mystery stories,
fantasy novels and compilations of
science fiction technical data, the
SpaceCrime Conlinum is a dream
come true. Rack upon rack of works
by both popular and obscure authorv
are present for your perusal There i>
even a section for role-playing and
card games.
In truth. I have been surprised by
SpaceCrime. They have, in the lew
months since their opening, not only
begun establishing themselves as
more than the dominant Sci-Fi
Fantasy-Mystery store in the Happ\
\'alley: but will likely emerge as a
serious competitor to stores as far
away as Boston (no more 5 hour road
trips to find the newest Star Trek
doohickey).
So. how did SpaceCrime find its
way to Northampton'.' No one is
certain. Perhaps a hole in reality, or
a wrinkle in time... maybe we will
never know. It probably doesn't
mailer, but it is refreshing to know
the truth is out there... at
SpaceCrime.

THE MASSACHUSEITS DAILY COLLEGIAN
Women s tennis recruits doubles players
By Jay Warner
Collegian Correjpoodenl
Uilh only one week lo prepare
lor Wednesday's opening match
with Hartford, coach |udy Dixon is
hc-itant to give an outlook on the
season just yet.
Coming off a 7-5 campaign in
l')^4. Dixon said she felt that the
main concern for this year's team
was to improve their doubles play.
After losing four matches by one
single pciini. due mainly lo the lack
of strength in doubles. Dixon
sought lo recruit players who were
good athletes with doubles ability.
What she found was Marie
Christine Caron and Jackie
Braunstein. both acquired priinarily
for their success as doubles players.
"Most high school players do not
enter college with much knowledge
of doubles and a lot ot times these
double matches are ihe ones that
determine the outcome." Dixon
said. She teels thai Caron and
Braunstein. also the No. 5 singles
player, will give UMass ihe strength
it needs in doubles play.
LiesI Sitton returns in her senior
year as the No. 1 single player, as
well as a member of the No. 1 dou-
bles pair. Dixon said she feels that
Sitton, a co-captain, is "the finest
women's tennis player UMass has
ever had."
Sophomore Noelle Orsini returns
as the No. 2 singles player, hoping
lo improve on last season, in which
Dixon said lack of maturity and
experience were her difficulties,
lunior Liz Durant returns as a
co-captain and No. > singles player,
with winning New England's as her
long term goal. Durant will also
team up with Caron to form the
teams No. 2 doubles team.
Returning sophomore Caroline
Steele is the No. 4 singles player.
Dixon said she feels that added
intensity and consistency during the
off-season in the backcourt are
aspects of Steele's game that need
improvement. More important than
her singles status are her contribu-
tions as the No I doubles pairing
with Sitton. The two fomi "one of
the tinest doubles team in New
England," Dixon .said.
Rounding out their lineup is lackie
Braunstein, as a No. 5 singles player
and No. 2 doubles team alongside
Orsini, and Lana Gorodetskaya as
the No. b singles player.
This year's schedule starts out
with a number of matches in
September which are against very
competitive teams, but which
UMass is capable of winning.
From October on, they face diffi-
cult squads which either make or
break their season with New
Englands around the comer.
With five of the eight members of
last year's team being freshmen,
Dixon said she felt thai inexperience
played a major role in several
matches. She added that she hopes
with the five returning sophomores
as well as the leadership of Sitton
and Durant. that they will be able to
pull out the close matches that
slipped out of reach last season.
The team has set a goal of I 5
wins. Dixon said she knows the tal-
ent is there, but ihe question is
whether it can improve its doubles
game and display the experience
thai il takes lo pull out close ones.
Men s Cross Country looks for more consistency
By Jason Rubin
Collegian Correspondent
Consistency. It is the most difficult
trail for any athletic team lo possess.
It is what separates the good teams
from great teams.
To this point in the season, the
Massachusetts men's cross countrv
team has been good, with some flash-
es of greatness. There have been
many outstanding performances
thrciughout the season. However, for
the mosi part, pulling together two
good races in a r)w has been a prob-
lem for the team.
luniors Mike Maceiko and Matt
Behl have been the team's only con-
sistent runners These two workhors-
es have been the first UMass runners
lo cross the line at every meet, often
finishing in the top 10 overall,
luniors Pat Murphy and Ethan
Nadeau, as well as senior Mark
Buffone have had impressive finish-
es.
"We have seen a great race from
Ethan. Mark and Pal. But we have
only seen one great race from each of
those three guys, and those were on
three different days." said UMass
coach Ken O'Brien. "For us to reach
our potential, any three guys have lo
have their great race, on the same
day."
There are easily seven runners on
the team that can turn in a lop finish
on any given day The potential is
there, it only needs to be realized.
Even without having consistent fin-
ishers, the Minutemen have done
well.
This weekend is an important one
for UMass cross country. The team
will be traveling to Boston for the
New England Championships. Many
ol the nation's finest cross countrv '
teams will be in attendance.
The New England Championships
arrive ai a perfect time for the
Massachusetts team. This grueling
meet will be run just as the team is
realizing their capabilities.
O'Brien believes his team is ready
for the challenge.
"This week is a big opportunity.
We know who we are now. and we
know where the current level of fit-
ness and abilities of the kids are.
Now it's a matter of polishing up our
individual roles, so we can make the
team accomplish at the level that is
appropriate for us." he said.
Consistency is the key for UMass
this weekend. The team must have
five runner- perfonn up to their abili-
ties, to accomplish their goals for
Saturday. There is no reason to
believe that UMass can't run \*-iih the
best teams in the nation. This week-
end gives the team a chance to prove
it.
UMass rolls to victory in first ever race in Amherst
By Jason Wall
Collegian Correspondenl
Heavy rains created muddy and
raw conditions, the kind of weather
spectators hate but mountain bikers
love. Last Saturday, in the first-ever
mountain bike race at UMass, the
UMass cycling club took first place.
The top five schools to finish in the
race, which was held at the Orchard
Hill track were UMass with bl9
points. Plymouth State College with
291. New Hampshire with 24b.
Middleburv with Ib3 and Worcester
Polytechnical Institute with 1)7.
"About 1 2 schools came bringing
about 71 riders." said Cycling Club
Vice President Icff Chu "The big
schools, UNH. Plymouth State and
UConn, brought pretty large learns.
Two of those teams (UNH and
Plymouth State* took lop five spots.
UMass pretty much walked away
with the race. We did really well."
The men's A class is the most com-
petitive class offered in collegiate
mountain bike racing. It consists of
some of the best riders on the colle-
giate circuit today.
"We did really well placing in all
the races, especially the A race. We
had five guys placing in the lop nine,
which is the elite race." Chu said.
"We had |presideni| Dan Coady in
the men's A race place third, the
highest finisher from UMass. It really
was a healed battle. He was sitting in

filth and tourth place the entire race,
and the last lap he caughi the guy in
third and passed him."
However, ihe weather and the fact
that the race was held on a long
weekend, proved for a smaller
lumoul of spectators and first-time
riders than the club expected.
The club's next meet is in two
weeks at UNH. where Chu expects
the team lodo well.
"Hopefully we can pull off another
win." he said. "This is really good
because this is UMass' first mountain
bike season and this is UMass' first
mountain bike team. So as a learn,
we're starting off on the right fool, I
think we're going lo establish a pretty
long-lasting tradition."

Wnen my cousin Wes was
ID he spend the whole day at the
amusement park. Over the big
sound system he d hear:
'WES. PLEASE GO TO
THE KILLER LOOP."
Little Wes would get excited
and run over to the Killer Loop,
and stand there looking all around.
He would always see somebody
vomiting. No one would say
anything to him. and eventually
he d wander away.
He never knew why they
were calling him. This would
happen 3 or 4 times a day! It
started to make him sad and
confused.
It went on for years. ..every
summer. Wes would run over to
the Killer Loop.
After he grew up. we all
found out that the chief custodian
at the park was also named Wes.
To this day Wes still gets
an upset stomach when he hears
his name over a sound system.

"Madness^' returns to Mullins
By Candice Flemming
Collegion Staff
At the end of lasl -.cason. and heading into this
season, the Minutcnicn's wcakn^.'^s was obvious —
depth at the guard po>ition.
Derek Kellogg has graduated, Andre Bui4is has
transferred to McNeese State and Mike Williams Is
gone.
But F.dgar Padilla and Carnielo Travieso are
back, and with the addition of Charlton Clarke,
this weakness eould become a strength.
"He"s a freshman, so whatever he gives us is
great." Massachusetts head coach |ohn Calipari
said yesterday at the men's basketball media day.
"He's a great kid. a great student. He works his tail
off. He's physically ready to play. We're expecting
him to be able to add some things and help us."
"Charltcm's going to be a great addition to the
team." said Marcus Camby during yesterday's
Minutemen basketball mi"dia day. "He's flashy, he's
confident He has a great all- around game He has
the skill-level to be one ol the best guards to come
out of this program."
"I love it here." said the (v-foot-J-ineh Clarke. "I
think I fit in real well (at UMassj."
With Clarke's ability to play both the point and
shooting guard positions well, he will be a versatile
addition to the Minutemen backcourt.
Ross Bums and Ciddell Padilla. who returns to
the team after missing the past two seasons, are the
only other guards on the squad. Bums, a walk-on
from Greenfield, and Padilla. Edgar's older broth-
er, will not see much time. But according to
Calipari. it's up to them how many minutes they
will see.
"If they deser\e to play, they'll play." Calipan said.
The rest of Minutemen's roster is solid and
expectations are again high. All-America candidate
Camby returns to rattle oppi'sing backboards, and
co-captains Donia Bright and Dana Dingle are
ready to lead the team in their senior years.
Sophomore Inus Norville spent the Nummer
improving at the Olympic Festival.
lunior Tyrone W eeks had irtaior surger> on his
heel over the summer and he could be out lor the
beginning of the season, but it he can come back at
100 percent, he will be a lorce once again under-
*l feel good ab«.iut this year." Bright said
"It will be hard for the team to match what peo-
ple expect." Calipari said. "jButj we have the
chance to be special again. We are the team e\er>
body wants to beat.
"We've overscheduled. and 1 worry about that
There is not a lot of room for erR>r or loul trouble.
We are ready to go out and challenge the best."
The Minutemen's schedule is indeed lough.
UMass faces off against probable preseason No. I
<.OllH-*ANM**l PWvylO
Marcus Camby and the UMass Minutemen return to the i\ooT of the Mullins Center tomorrow
night for the annual Midnight Madness celebration. Doors open at 10;30 p.m.
Kentucky m its season opener, along with other
lop teams like Maryland. Wakv Forest. Georgia
Tech. N.C State. Memphis and Louisville. Not to
mention facing Temple (twice). George
Washington and A- 10 newcomers Xavier and
Virginia Tech.
"We've got to take It one game at a time and
work hard." Bnght said.
The Minutemen will begin their quest lo retum
to the Hue Light tomorrow night with .Midnight
Madness. Door^ at the William D Mullins (\nicr
will open al 10:^0 p.m. with Sean McDonough and
Mike Ratte as Masters of Ceremonio. There will
be performances by the UMass Cheerleaders, the
UMass Funk Club and the UMass Dance team. The

Return to Totman Field
a plus for field hockey
By Matt Vautowr
Collegian Stafr
For several weeks now.
Massachusetts field hockey
coach Megan Donnelly has been
clicking her heels together franti-
cally.
"There's no place like home.
There's no place like home." she
keeps refHrating but the scheduling
wizards haven't heard.
While the Scarecrow. Tin
Man. and Lion's wishes have
long since been granted.
"We've gone from
grass to practicing in
gyms - that 's been
tough. "
• Megan Donnelly
Dorothy's...
er. Donnelly's
squad has still
been playing
games all over
Oz.
But fortu-
nately for the
Minutewomen.
this weekend ^_^^^___^_
t h e
yellow-bricked road leads back to
Totman Field.
.After playing 10 of their last 1 1
games in the maroon visitors jer-
seys, Massachusetts will break out
the home- whites for weekend
battles with Providence and Rhode
Island, as they start a five-game
homestand heading into the home-
streich of the season.
"The traveling has been
lough." Donnelly said. "We've
gone from grass to turf to grass
to practicing In gyms — that's
been tough."
Providence comes into the
Pioneer Valley with a record of
5-t) after a tough 2-1 overtime
loss to Hall Slate last weekend.
Sophomore goaltender lamic
Soteraides has carried the load In
net for the Lady Friars having
played every minute of action,
with a save percentage of .855.
Offensively, senior forward
Meredith Zenowich leads PC with
six goals and two assists.
Donnelly said that the Lady
Friars style of play is what she
would expect from a Big East
school.
"Providence is good.* she said.
"They are extremely well coached,
fundamentally sound. They're
big-hitting, physically aggressive
and fast."
Rhode Island will check in hav-
ing one of Its best season's in

Two football teams in dire need of wins will clash when
Massachusetts faces the Buffalo Bulls.
The Minutemen bring its 2-3 record to UB Stadium
coming off two consecutive losses, UMass has dropped
games to New Hampshire and Rhode Island respectively,
and desperately need lo reach sea-level.
Buffalo enters the contest with a 2-4 record, coming oil
a loss from Yankee Conference member Maine. This
Saturday marks Buffalo's Homecoming game, and the
Bulls would like nothing more than lo be victorious In
front of its alumni crowd.
This game is the first meeting between the two schools
in 25 vears. The Bulls won that game lb 15. back in
1970. '
The Minutemen offense must beware of Buffalo line-
backer Craig Guest, who last Saturday racked up 29 tack-
les against Maine's bruising offense. Guest had 1 2 solo
tackles and 17 assists on the game, and picked up an
inicrception.
Also threatening the UMass offense Is Bull linebacker
Peie Conley. who went over the 500 tackle mark for his
career in the game against Maine. Conley recorded lb
tackles in the contest, to give him 50Ji In his career as a
Bull.
On the other side of the field. Buffalo boasts a running
back closing in on a 1.000 yard season. Anthony Swan
has 622 yards so far this season and is averaging 105.7
yards a game.
For the Minutemen. fullback Rene Ingoglia is on the
verge of becoming the first \ankee Conference player to
surpass 4.000 career rushing yards in regular season
games. Ingoglia Is 22 yards shy of the mark for the career
rushing yards milestone, heading into Saturday's contest
with the Bulls. He is currently sixth In the conference in
rushing and 51st in the nation, averaging IOb.4 yards per
game
Completiienting Ingoglia. the landem of redshirt fresh-
men Matt Jordan and |im Pi/ano have combined for 577
yards through the first five games. Jordan is coming off a
career- best performance lasl week against New
Hampshire, carrying the ball 20 times for 97 yards and a
touchdown. PIzano had a career-high 55 yards in a losing
eflort al Rhode Island two weeks ago.
LiMass sophomore .Anthony Callerton will be lining up
behind center Matt Alegi once again this Saturday. The
quarterback made his first collegiate start lasl Saturday
against New Hampshire, completing six ol 18 passes,
compiling 89 yards in the air, including a touchdown
pass.
Senior middle linebacker Mike Valentino saw his first
action of the season against New Hampshire last
Saturday. He missed the first four games of the seastm
with a knee- injury. He recorded three tackles against the
Wildcats.
Kickoff will be at 1:50 p.m.. and can be heard on

trudge in on a season-high three

Fullback Rene Ingoglia (19) should receive plenty of congratulations, since he needs only 22 yards against
Buffalo to reach 4,000 career rushing yards.
Frankie Mariani set a UMass
record lasl night, netting three
2-point goals as the Minutemen
marched to a 20-7 victory at
Harvard.
Mariani. a senior driver from
Rio Piedras. Puerto Rico, has
come on strong of late.
"He's really bringing his level of
play up," said UMass coach Russ
Yarworth. "Now, he just needs to
concentrate on his defense."
Along with Marianl's
record-setting outburst, the club
was paced again by the combina-
tion of Brian Stahl and Luis
l.imardo. who scored four and
three goals, respectively.
The strong play on the offensive
side of the pool has overshadowed
a tremendous defensive effort so
far this season. The Minutemen
have allowed opponents to score
in double-digits just four limes en
route to their 16-2 record.
Although the MInuleman
defense has been strong enough lo
hold down most of the teams on
their schedule, they haven't been
physical enough to conquer Navy.
which has accounted for
Ma.ssachuselts' only two los,ses of
the campaign.
"We've been playing very physi-
cal in practice, and there have
been some 'skirmishes' because of
it. " Yarworth said. "But. they
know that's how they have to play
to beat the stronger teams."
UMass will be hosting M.I.T..
Boston College and Brown al
Amherst College's Alumni
Gymnasium pool, and should have
few problems staying undefeated
at their home-away- from-home
for the second straight season.
Boston College, a very young
squad, has drudged through a
"building year" under the tutelage
of UMass alum. G.T. Ladd. As a
result. Massachusetts has handled
them with case in their first two
matches this season. According to
Yarworth. M.I.T. is on the same
level as the struggling Eagles.
Brown, though, always poses a
threat. The Bears bring something
extra to the pool whenever they
face the rival Minutemen.
When these two swam-off earli-
er this season. Massachusetts
came up with their best defensive
effort of the year, beating the
Bears. 12-2. In that match, how-
ever. Brown was without one of
their top players, senior Chris

tomorrow along with an emerging
force in freshman Kevin

Volleyball ready
for first look at
new A" 10 foes
By Steven Grant
Collegian Staff
Hoping to have ignited some
momentum with its three-set sweep
over Boston College on Tuesday, the
Massachusetts volleyball team will
host two tough Atlantic 10 opponents
this weekend — Dayton and Xavier.
The Flyers (13-5, 6-2), and the
Musketeers (11-9, 5-3) are both
new arrivals in the A- 10 this sea-
son. Dayton appears to be the
stronger of the two teams having
clobbered the Musketeers in their
last match, 5-0.
UMass. coached by Bonnie Kenny,
will face Dayton tonight at 7 p.m. at
the Curry Hicks Cage. The Flyers are
led by loey Klare. who leads the team
with a 5.20 kills per game average.
Meanwhile. Michelle Carter leads
the team in digs with 168. The
Minutewomen should also keep a close
eye on Paula Kirch (2.767 kills/gm,
163 digs). Amy Habel (2.536 k/gm)
and Sheila Kreim (2.29 k/gm).
The Flyers have swept opponents
in three straight games nine times
this year and have played a fifth game
only once, defeating Toledo back in
early September. So, if UMass can
hang tough for the first couple of
games, they may have an edge the
further the match goes.
UMass will play Xavier tomorrow
at 7 p.m. The Musketeers are led by
Sarah Sholte. who boasts a whopping
4.706 kills per game average. Sholte
also owns a 5.191 digs per game
mark, second only to Katie Andrews
(5.54digs/gm).

Senior hopes for changes at UM
John Beck tells of his five years with LQBA as a gay man
By Wendy Darling
Collegian Staff
As the Stonewall Center eele-
brates its lOth anniversary, the
University of Massachusetts gay. les-
bian, and bisexual community
includes at least one undergraduate
who has been around for almost half
that period.
John Beck, senior English major.
has been involved with the GLB com-
munity since he arrived at UMass in
the fall of 1 990.
Beginning with participation in
radical action groups such as
ACT-UP and Queer Nation. Beck
joined the UMass Lesbian Bisexual
Gay Alliance and the UMass GLB
Speaker's Bureau.
Beck says he has seen several
changes in the community since he
first arrived, including a general
change in the nature of GLB student
activism.
"I understand that before I came
[to UMass]. the Conservative
Alliance |was| a lot more active
and powerful than they are today."
Beck recalls. "jGLB students had]
much more of an embattled mind
set... and they were very much just
sort of reacting to things that {con-
servative student groups) would do.
like holding Straight Pride' ral-
lies."
Since then. Beck says, the environ-
ment for GLB students has become
"a lot more comfortable" and stu-
dents have begun to initiate actions
on the own instead of waiting for
attacks from outside groups.
"I know that there are still a lot of
closeted people on campus who just.
for whatever reason, don't feel com-
fortable being out or even trying to
find any kind of community.' he Mys.
This is a shame, he adds, since there
is a large GLB community, 'if you
lcx)k for it."
Separatism on campus
Al the same time that it has grown
more proactive, however, the com-
niunity has grown more insular. Beck
says.
"There's just lots and lots of stuff
for jGLBj people, but I don't sec that
merging with the general populace."
he says. .And while Beck admits that
some of this isolation is the fault of
GLB Organizations who may have
"segregated themselves." he also
places some of the blame on hetero-
sexuals.
"I still think a lot of straight people
on campus just think that. 'Oh. well.
its all them, so whatever.' and try to
ignore [GLB] issues... because lis
just a 'gay thing' and not for them."
he says.
Beck also sees this problem affect-
ing AIDS and HIV education.
"It's amazing how many straight
people don't j understand) that just
because they're straight doesn't mean
they won't get it." he says.
Last spring Beck took part in a
radical safer sex demonstration on
the Campus Center Concourse that
drew a large crowd and disrupted a
crafts fair.
Beck says he joined the demonstra-
tion to alert people that AIDS and
HIV are present on the UMass cam-
pus and that they need to protect
themselves, no matter what their sex-
ual orientation.
"AIDS is here at UMass." Beck
says. "It's not 'somewhere else'... I've
got one friend who used lo go to
school here and has died of AIDS.
He had AIDS the whole time he was
here."
Homophobic graffiti
With regard to campus attitudes
towards gays and lesbians. Beck says
that UMass has treated him fairly
well as a gay man.
"The worst I've received is in )my
locker) in the Student Union, which
has sticliers all over it." he says. Most
of the stickers have messages that
advocate GLB rights, and sometimes,
according to Beck, people come by
and write homophobic slurs on them.
"Someone wrote fag' and I wrote
"That's Mr. Fag to you!'" boasts
Beck.
Aside from that, htiwcver. his life
has been relatively free of "blatant"
homophobia, he says, something he
attributes to his size and the way he
conducts his life.
"I don't hang around the dorms at
One o'clock in the morning on Friday
night waiting around for someone to
show up and beat mc up." Beck says.
Beck does see nn)re subtle signs of
homophobia in the area, however.
"On the bus you sec these | hetero-
sexual) couples... lying on each oth-
ers' laps." he says. "It makes me
angry because I know that I cant do
that, or I could do that but would be
risking dirty looks and maybe get
beaten up."
Beck says he often envisions an
experiment in which all the hetero-
sexual people in the world would be
placed in the position of GLB peo-
ple.
"Straight people are so lucky that
there isn't 90 percent of the popula-
tion coining down on ihem for being
straight," he says. "I think it would
di> a lot of giKxJ if some people could
live with the tables turned for a cou-
ple of days and find out what it's
like."
Black men flock to D»C»
for ^Million Man March'
By G>nnie Com and Kim I. Mills

WASHINGTON — Black men converging on the
nation's capital for tixlay's Million Man March described
it as a unifying, uplifting event that transcends its contro

Improved Thatcher Hall inaugurated
By Julia Stoyanovicti
Collogion CorrMpondant
On Wed.. Oct. I I. the newly renovated Thatcher
House was host to the inauguration ceremimy ot the
Foreign Language-lnlematiunal Program, located inside
the building.
The history of having a Foreign l.anguage program on
campus started in 1986. when the German Suitiiwas cre-
ated in Brown Residence Hall in Sjlvan I'he lapanese.
Spanish, and French Suites followed from NH7 through
1984.
The International Program has existed in Thatcher since
1989. which ultimately led to its selection as the choice to
house an expanded program.
The possibility of creating a Foreign Language
International house was first explored by the Residential
Academic Programs Office and the International
Programs Office in the fall of 199?
In April 1994. Barbara Burn. Associate Provost for
Internatiimal Programs, contacted Therese Pasquale.
AsscK'iate Director of Residential Academic Affairs, about
the likelihood of a significant grant from the Max Kade
Foundation lo create a residential "German Studies
Center." The SI 25.000 grant was received by the
Germanic Languages and Literature Department in
lanuary 1995
After numerous meetings, much planning and complete
renovation, the Language Programs were moved into
Thatcher and a new Intemationaj Program was created.
Scottish bom Chancellor David K Scott, who was on
hand for the Inauguration Ceremony, thanked the orga
nizers of the ceremony for having the music of his native
country playing in the hallway.
"God bless this residential hall and all who learn and
live within it." he said.
Michael Gilbert, the acting director of housing services,
characterized the Thatcher project as "the program that
delights us."
"If we could only replicate this in the other 40 buildings
on campus." he said.
Pal Crosson, vice-chancellor for academic affairs and
provost, called Thatcher "a lovely place." and thanked
everyone involvc-d lor finding a way to make this happen.
"A small thing like money can't stop it," she said.
The inteniational theme of the evening was enhanced
when Frank Hugus, the head of the Germanic Languages
and Literature department, started his speech by address-
ing his audience In Danish.
He continued by calling his offorts towards the opening
of ihi- l>>reigti I anguage Inteniatioual House in Thatcher
the mo>i fantastic thing he ha^ done in recent times.
Barbara Bum pointed out that the success of the pro-
gram in Thatcher is due not only lo the efforts of the offi-
cials, but. even more so. to the enthusiasm of the students
who chose lo participate in the program
Ve Caren. an international student from LatM, said that
he became a member of the program in order to learn
more about other cultures
Mark Delaney. another member of the International
Program, commented about Thatcher, "lis a small planet:
people represent different parts of the world. And I find
interacting with the different nationalities and cultures to
be one of the most refreshing experiences of my life."
Marie Fahnert from Venezuela, a participant in the Max
Kade program, is motivated by the fact that everybody on
her flcKir shares her interest In the German language.
"There is so much interest in the program, it's going
to grow into at least one more building." said Pat
Vocbus. a Foreign Student Advisor of the International
Programs.
"When we were full, we still had calls from the students
who were interested in the program." agreed Desirie
Lalbeharie losais, residence director of the Thatcher,
Lewis. Johnson Cluster.
Several others were involved in the creation of the
Foreign luinguage International Program including loseph
Battista. director of the RAP: Chika Nnamani. former
director of housing services; IXin Pelkey. operations man-
ager of Northeast/Sylvan residential area; Beverly Wixid,
associate vice chancellor of physical planning; Ula
Bamberger, coordinator of the Max Kade German Studies
Center and Jennifer Wais, interior design of housing ser-
vices.
Gore urges Aristide to embrace reform
By Ron Foumier
Associated Press
PORT AU PRINCE. Haiti — Vice President Al Gore
marked one year of demixracy in Haiti on Sunday, but
the celebration was muted by harsh realities: economic
paralysis, lingering political violence and a president
who still mies by decree.
Gore publicly pressed President |ean Bertrand
Aristide to embrace economic reforms, including plans
to sell slate-mn enterprises. He suggested $1.2 billion
in international aid could be jeopardized if the reforms
lag.
"Steps need to be taken to continue the flow of these
funds." Gore said at a news conference with Aristide.
The otherwise uneventful visit was marred when a
crowd of Haitians threw stones at a van occupied by
Tipper Gore's press secretary and two White House
doctors, shattering the van's windows.
Mrs. Gore was safely inside a hospital when the
stones were hurled at the van. wailing outside the
building's gales. The White House said no one was
hurt and insisted the incident did not result from anti-
American feelings. One aide said she thought it was
related to a hospital labor dispute.
The low-key visit, which took Gore from the presi-
dential palace to an impoverished rural village, was
overshadowed by the pending resignation of Prime
Minister Smarck Michel, a symbol of Haiti's stalled
economic reforms. Michel is reported to be resigning
Monday, frustrated by the new legislature's opposition
to his plans to make public enterprises private.
Without specifically urging Michel lo stay. Gore
praised the prime minister and said. "We would greatly
regret his departure." Aristide refused to comment on
Michel.
Gore was marking the one-year anniversary of
Aristide's return to power after three years in exile.
U.S. triHips led a United Nations force that tossed out
a mililai7 junta and returned him to power.
It was the blue chip in President Clinton's troubled
foreign policy portfolio, celebrated in March with
doves, ballixins and star-spangled presidential hoopla
as thousands of Haitians poured into the streets to
greet the American leader.
Speaking to Haitian leaders gathered at the palace.
Gore said: "Democracy is flowering in soil once made
barren by the greed and callousness of the thugs and
bullies who ruled from these halls." But democracy
here hangs from a thin thread.
Aristide has ruled by decree since the pariiament's
term expired in February, prompting charges he is
leaning toward the autocratic ways that some contend
invited the military to overthrow him initially.
He is constitutionally banned from serving another
term, but a presidential election appears unlikely
before December. Some Haitians doubt voters will
choose a new president by the time Aristide's term
expires Feb. 7.
In suburban Pelionville on Sunday morning, people
woke to find thousands of leaflets, strewn on streets
calling, for Aristide to stay on three more years.
Political violence, although significantly lessened
under Aristide. also remains all Iih) common, critics
say.
"Credible evidence points to political killings and
death squads being run by members of the Haitian
.government." said Senate Majority Leader Bob
Dole.
Administration officials privately condemned the
Oct. ■? murder of former Brig. Gen Henri Max
Mayard. a member of the Haitian army high command.
And they wondered out loud whether Aristide backers
were responsible.

Columbia launch delayed again
due to weather & bad timing
By Marcia Dunn
Assoctaled Preu
CAPF CANAVERAL. Fla. — For
a record-tying sixth time. NASA
delayed the launch of space shuttle
Columbia on Sunday because of
thick, low clouds that just wouldn't
budge.
Shuttle managers said they
would try again Thursday, at the
earliest.
Launch controllers waited as
long as possible to send Columbia
and its seven astronauts on their
way. but finally gave up early in the
afternoon. By then, it was getting
dark at the emergency landing
strips overseas and the weather at
the launch site was not improving.
Commander Kenneth Bowersox
and his crew waited in vain more
than five hours for the sky to clear.
"Thanks a lot guys," said launch
director lames Harrington. "We
gave it the college try, but the
weather beat us this time." NASA
sent the astronauts to the pad an
hour later than planned to extend
the launch window into the after-
noon. Bui it didn't help: A cold
front stalled over the Kennedy
Space Cenier and kept a cloud
cover overhead.
Columbia — NASA's oldest
shuttle — tied its own record for
launch scrubs. A satellite-delivery
mission by Columbia was delayed
six times before finally getting
under way in January 1 986. almost
a month late. This science mission
already is three weeks late. NASA
cannot launch Columbia before
Thursday because of a military
rocket launch scheduled for
Tuesday. The Air Force, which
tracks all launches for safety pur-
poses, needs one to two days
between llights to modify its sys-
tems. If the unmanned rocket
launch slips to Wednesday, then
Columbia's seventh launch trv' will
slide to Friday, said shuttle launch
manager Loren Shriver.
Columbia's repeated delays have
disrupted NASA's Highi schedule
for the rest of this year, if not
longer. NASA had hoped to launch
Atlantis on Nov. 1 to the Russian
space staiiun Mir: that docking-
mission now has been delayed at
least one week. If Columbia isn't
alofi by next Sunday, its mission
will be bumped into late November
and Atlantis will fly next, Shriver
said.
This was the second weather
delay for the lb-day laboratory-
research mission. Hurricane Opal
forced a postponement as did a
slew of mechanical breakdowns: a
leaky engine valve, sluggish
hydraulics, a failed computer sig-
nal-relay unit. Vet another delay
was caused by a last-minute engine
inspixtion. Sunday was the closest
NAS.A got to launching Columbia
on this mission. The countdown
clocks got down to five minutes.
"I don't take it very personally on
a day like todav when we do battle
wiih the weather." Shriver said.
NASA officials insist neither
Columbia's age nor its recent tune-
up had anything to do with the
recent equipment problems. As late
as Friday, technicians were swap-
ping out computer components.
Sunday's scrub cost $1.1 million in
Nfvnt fuel and overtime pay.

SALVADOR dc BAHIA, Brazil - Moved by the tears
of a 16-year-old girl. Hillary Rodham Clinton said
Sunday it would be a mistake for the United Slates to
"walk away" from foreign aid just as the world's poorest
children are enjoying the results. In her strungesi state-
ment yet on foreign aid, the first lady said the United
States has invested loo much over the past 50 years to
abruptly turn its back when democracy and free enter-
prise aro being embraced "from Mongolia to Brazil to
Nicaragua."
Because of that embrace, she said, the lives of poor peo-
ple, especially children, are being changed dramatically
for the smallest of cosls. Two programs that Mrs, Clinton
visited Sunday — an intervention program for street chil
dren and a local community center — received only
$1 14,000 and two personal computers from the U.S. this
year.
"I don't think it's a wise time for the United Slates to
walk away from the accomplishments and achievements
that, working together, we have helped to bring about."
Mrs. Clinton said. "It is a mistake, both at home or
around the world, to walk away from the imponance of
investing in people."
Congress is considering cuts of 20 to 35 percent in aid
to Latin American countries.
The first lady, on a tour of four Latin American coun-
tries, had avoided criticizing the proposed cuts during a
series ol visits to coiiiinuniiy centers, banks, schools and
health centers, even as people stressed the aid's impor-
tance
On Sunday. Mn. Clinton was obviously moved as she
watched former street children stage a ciaus performance
to display skills they learned through a project that takes
in runaways and reunites them with iheir families.
The youngest pertormer. Iramaia Ribeiro. 7, was beg-
ging on the streets a few months ago but now performs
acrobatics, even folding herself up inside a small wooden
box.
"I would probably be a prisoner in jail now, or dead,
because of the things I used lo do in the street." said Gil
Lopes de ksus, 1 5. who was a street urchin at age 7. otKe
used drugs and robbed people, bul now rides a unicycle
with the circus.
Project director Cesare de Florio la Rocca. told Mrs.
Clinton the children could easily go astray again.
'They are saying to you. we want to live. Wc are the
life." he said.
The first lady could not hold back her criticism of for-
eign aid cuts afier touring the Cidade Mae Community
Center. There. Margucrita Cunha Freire. 16. with tears
welling in her c-yes. said ihe computers provided by the
Stale Department are helping her "overcome barriers and
become part of this modern world." Nelinalva Araujo
Menezes. mother of a Cidade student, implored Mrs.
Clinton to try lo save U.S. aid to Brazil. She worrit's that a
change in administrations here could jeopardize the com-
munity center.

Tourists held hostage by gunman
Russians f South Koreans jittery after Red Square hijacking
By Dave Corpenier
Associoled Press
MOSCOW — Tourist buses packed Red Square and
cobblestones were washed clean of blood Sunday, but
psychological scars remained after 25 South Koreans were
hijacked in broad daylight next to the Kremlin.
Russians and foreigners alike were jittery after Saturday's
attack, which drew attention lo the nation's soaring crime
rate aiul dealt a painful blow to its image abaiad.
"This is a beautiful place but so unpredictable." said
Spanish tourist Felipe Gimeno, standing by his bus on a
crisp fall day in the shadow of the Kremlin. Russia's pre-
mier tourist attraction. A South Korean tour bus was
seized by a gunman and held for nearly 10 hours until
Russian commandos stormed the bus early Sunday and
killed ihe assailant. The gunman was identified as a
Russian, but authorities did not know his name or any
thing about him.
The hijacking took place on a bridge behind the onion
domes of St. Basil's Cathedral, one of the world's most
recognizable buildings. The area is near the Kremlin, the
seat of Russia's government.
The 25 tourists, uninjured bul badly shaken, cut short
their tour of Russia and flew on to their next scheduled
stop in Frankfurt. Germany.
Hours later, visiting Russian schoolchildren romped
around the area, but adults were more fearful. Gimeno. a
50-year-old professor from Valencia, acknowledged his
tour group was "very nervous." "This is not good for the
Russian image with tourists." he said.
The hijacking shocki-d even the most jaded Muscovites.
"Nothing is safe anymore." said 25 vc.ir old Irina
I'elrova. "They were just tourists."
Kim Sok-kyu. South Korea's ambassador lo Moscow.
praised Russia's special services for rescuing the tourists
unharmed, but said the hijacking "will affcvl the infiux of
Korean tourists to Russia in ihc near future "
Authorities also preferred lo focus on the swift, effec-
tive work of the commandos rather than the crime itself
"Such things can happen in any country," said a police
official who dcclinc*d to give his name.
The Russian tourist industry has already faced spiraling
crime, a September grenade attack on the U.S. F'mbassy,
threats of terrorism related to the war in breakaway
Chivhnya and fears of political instability.
"Terrorists are taking the whole world hostage. Bul I
think it's appropriate that this happened on Red Square,
right next to Yeltsin's office." said a tour bus driver who
gave his name only as Vitaly. He said he was a critic of
President Boris Yeltsin's government.
The gunman, said lo be in his eariy to mid iO's, bran-
dished an AK-47 assault rifle when he boarded the bus
late Saturday afternoon. He told the tourists they were
hostages and ordered them to draw the curtains, Vun
IXing hyuk, a freed hostage, told the South Korean news
agency Yonhap.
Scores of police ringed the bus. snipers crouched on a
Kremlin lower and ambulances and fire trucks surround-
ed the scene for hours.
The gunman initially demanded $10 million bul later
lowered the demand to $1 million. Authorities paid him
$500,000 afier several hours, and he released the hostages
in groups until just four tourists and tfie Russian bus dri-
ver remained.
Then, after a bank truck pulled up and authorities
apparently prepari-d lo hand over another payment, about
20 commandos swarmed over the bus. They fired in the
air and smashed windows as stun grettades exploded with
searing fiashes.
"All of a sudden, we heard gunshots and everybody
ducked." Im Chil-sung, one of the five men still on the
bus. told Yonhap. The gunman was shot lo death within
seconds. Police found a homemade bomb hidden on his
body and a Makarov pistol with four bullets in Ihe bus.
The remaining hostages were hustled from the bus
shaken and dazed.
In the midst of ihc crisis, the newly crowned Miss
Russia emerged following the pageant at a nearby hotel
and lold reporters she would offer her golden crown in
exchange for the release of a hostage.
Authorities apparently did not take 19-year-old Yeletia
Matsina's offer seriously, and she left still in possession of
her crx>wn.

she said.
No one knows how many men will

preparing for 500.000 to one mil

11.000 buses will bring men to the
rally.
Reaching the goal of I million

every 10 of America's black adult
men. The 1965 civil rights march led
by Martin Luther King |r , which
included men and women of many
races, drew 250.000 people.
President Clinton will be out of

race relations in Austin. Texas.
IX-puty White House Chief of Staff
Harold Ickes reiterated the presi
dent's support of the march's goals
and his opposition lo the "bigoted,
hateful, ami Semitic, sexist com-
ments of Louis Farrakhan."
"This group is not Farrakhan's
group," Ickes said on CBS's "Face the
Nation." "This is a group of black
men from around the country who
are coming here for a day of atone-
ment and to talk about how to lake
responsibility for iheir own lives."
Some of the black leaders who
plan to be al the event have tried to
distance themselves from Farrakhan's
infiammatory rentarks. The organiz-
ers have sent mixed signals Often
they have emphasized the broad-
based support for the maah, includ

Homophobia in the nicest of ways
Marni E.
Helfner
Man> people ailended Fair Play
J Candid Convi-nation on
Ocl II. I'W'i in Ihc Fine Arts
Center, but few realized Ihc inherent
homophobia. elas:>i»ni and favoritism
thjit look place in the organization of
the event.
Thursday morning. Erie Camnter.
facilitator of the LHGA. realized all
the flaws that stood out from the
event. First, high school students from
the Massachusetts Safe School pro-
grams were invited to mc-ei in a small
group with Martina Navratilova No
UNtass students were in\ited untjl the
issue was pushed and two UMass stu-
dents from the 2 in 20 floor were
invited to be among the 35 high
school students.
Second, all the
high school students
were given free tick
ets to the event while
UMass students had
to pay S5. For some students, like
myself, who only make a precious
$26.88 a week, that's cutting into my
grocery and bill money At 4 p.m. in
the afternoon, the Stonewall Center
and the LBGA were each given I 1
tickets to give out. and that was only
because some of the trustees chose not
to go and the tickets were available.
Third. GLBT students were told
ihey were not going to he able to meet
with Navratilova or have any contact.
In actuality, the tennis team had their
picture taken with Navratilova.
Fourth, all the advertising lor the
event was aimed at the athletic com-
munity. Nowhere on the poster did it
say Gay. Lesbian. Bisexual.
Homosexual or Queer. If you didn't
know that Navratilova and Pailone
were gay. the poster didn't tell you. So
there is a conflict Targeted at an ath-
letic audience, a converNalion between
an athlete and an official titled fjir
Play would lead someone to believe
they were going to talk about sports.
Meanwhile, most people in the queer
community know Navratilova is a les-
bian and some may have known
Pailone was a gay man. For an event
held on National Coming Out Day.
mosl queer people would believe their
conversation would be about being
queer in a heterosexuallv-dominated
field.
I'm not trying to stereotype, but the
athletic community doi*s have a histo-
ry of severe and violent homophobia.
By not being truthful or more obvious
in the advertising, the organizing com-
mittee set the stage for conflict, poten-
tially violent. Bringing the historically
homophobic athletic community
together with the very out and loud
UMass queer community could have
been disastrous.
Fifth, the event was planned with-
out telling the LBGA or
the Stonewall Center.
Imagine if the LBGA
had been planning for a
ball or their own speak-
ers on National Coming
Out Day. Would students really give
up the opportunity to see Navratilova
or Pailone to go to a dance'.' flardly.
that's a lifetime oppitnuniiy. like see-
ing Maya Angelou and Fli Wiesel.
Sixth, the committee, or working
group as they were called, was headed
by Deputy Chancellor Marcellctte
Williams, and consisted of various
University employees. The problem
however, was there* was not one mem-
ber of the GLBT community in the
working group. Il was not until Sara
Pease, acting director of the Stonewall
Center heard third-hand thai Pailone
and Navratilova were coming to speak
that she was asked to be included in
the committee. Until that time, there-
was no GLBT representation on ihe
committee, and the only student voice
was from the SGA. The LBGA. the
Gay. Lesbian. Bisexual Graduate
Student Organization iGLBGSOi and
the Gay Lesbian Bisexual Trans-gen-
dered Residence Assistant (GLBT

Letters to the Editor
Vote should have
eliminated test
To the Editor:
On Oct. II. the Undergraduate
Student Senate voted against a
motion to make the Scholastic
Aptitude Test — which is biased
against students of color, as well as
low income students and women ^
optional in the undergraduate admis-
sions process at the University of
Massachusetts at .Amherst.
After a detailed repon and presen-
tation from SCER.A and a long series
of debates, the vote was 2> in favor.
24 opposed. As a senator who voted
in favor of the motion. I was disap-
pointed, angry and surprised at the
opportunist energy and closed-mind-
cdncss with which the opposition
attacked and dismantled what I view
as a just and important option in the
University admissions process.
In all of the discussion about how
this proposal would lower our stan-
dards, damage our academic image
and negatively affect an already high
acceptance rate, the real issues of
racism, classism. gender bias and
freedom of choice were all evaded
and eventually lost in the commotion.
Unfortunately, evasiveness of this
kind is often endemic to American
political process, yet it especially sad-
dens me when I see it played out on
our campus.
No one would assume that the
SAT is the only true measure of math
and language literacy and ability. I
challenge any student who holds
standardized tests so dearly to
her/his heart that they cannot bear to
see it become less of a factor in the
admissions process. For fairness,
accessibility, and justice, shouldn't
future students be evaluattxJ on over-
all academic performance with the
option to include this test score if it
helps their application, instead of the
usual mandate of test scores despite
that those same tests may be biased
against them'.' Shouldn't we all as
students want the option, the choice,
whether we are Vietnamese refugee
students from Forrest Park, or prep
school students from Chestnut Hill,
or middle class public school stu-
dents from Shrewsbury? We should
demand the change, the shift away
from scores and numbers, toward
those achievements that can be mea-
sured over lime and experience.
Immediately after the vote did not
pass. I witnessed cheering from the
opposition and alternately, very emo-
tional reactions to the loss from pro-
ponents of the motion. Members of
the AL.AN.A Caucus, my sell included,
began to blame ourselves and others
for not being able to sufficiently
inlluence the vote in our favor. The
defeat was. and still is. a painful one
for many. As I left the room. I real-
ized that all loo often students of
color inherit the burden of trying to
make our voices heard and recog-
nized, meanwhile blaming ourselves
when they are not. thereby doubling
our burden.
If two more senators had been pre-
sent to vote in favor. I would not be
writing this letter. Yet. this goes
beyond one or two votes — we need
to stand up to this loss by coming up
with ten or 20 more votes, more voic-
es, next lime around. There are indi-
viduals who are doing everything
humanly possible to try to make this
University the best it can be. and that
includes making it a more free, more
jusi place for as many students as
possible.
They are up there fighting for you
and ihey can't do it alone. If anything
I've written here is meaningful to
you. I urge you to get involved with
Senate and the ALANA Caucus
because without you. we may be one
vote away from so much more than
just optional SATS.

Senator, Commuter Area
Column puts
Collegian to shame
To the Editor:
It was with dismay that a frierxl led
me to read lere-my Hurcwitz's column
"Strange days have found me" in the
Oct. 10 issue of the Collegian. There
comes a point when the Collegian must
act not only at the calibtT of a universi-
ty newspaper, but also as the voice that
is most frequently heard by the outside
community, and edit or restrict materi-
al that serves no point or otherwise
deserve the name of the University.
Mr. Hurewitz's empty braggadocio
is not only devoid of any central and
meaningful message, it completely
lacks any basic class or dignity. The
column leads the reader through three
of Mr. Hure'wilz's re'cent sexual mis-
adventures, including a Norwegian
man-tumed-wonian. Throughout the
piece, should the reader not under-
stand his obtuse meaning, the author
is kind enough to provide ample
descriptions such as. "Then she
wrapped her legs around me and start-
ed thrusting inc into her."
In my wildest dreams. I could not
imagine any party that would benefit
from any of Mr. Hurewitz's cheap
group gave many excuses. They said
thev did not have a student re-pre-scn-
tative other than the SGA because
they were' working in mid-August and
no students were here*. They said they
had no control of the posters and
advertising. They very much scape-
goated IX-puty Chancellor Williams
and Professor Pat Griffin and called
them the bad guys. Rather than take
the criticism of the group and
acknowledge their homophobia, their
walls went up. The mood of the group
was. "I'm not homophobic. I'm just a
committee member."
Of course. Williams was not
around. The protesters were offered
the opportunity to speak with her per-
sonally later that afternoon. Four of us
showed up. and what resulted was
truly constructive.
Mosl of our concerns were
addressed. Solutions to the problem
were brought up for future events.
Responsibility was taken, and commu-
nication happcnc-d.
As il turns out. the date for the
event was the only day Pailone and
Navratilova could both do it. The rea-
son why high school students only met
with Navratilova was appare-ntly. she
has had bad experiences publicly
speaking and this was a rather
non-hostile environment. Plus, it
seems many levels of her agents all
agreed il would be good for her image
to meet with high schi.)ol students.
The working gre>up did not have a
GLBT representative because the
same group that worked on the
W'iesel/.Angelou conversation was
brought in. No one thought about
adding to it Of course, there is some
homophobia there, but it was more
from the short amount of time, and
ralhcT "innocence" of the group, than
of an intentional homophobia.
Williams has made an effort —
more so than the committee — and
members of the community thank her.
Hopefully some change will result.

NHL predictions off
To the Fxiilor:
My name is Jeff Hans and I'm a
student at UMass. I'm writing in
response to Matt Vautour's predic-
tions of the upcoming NHL season.
I live in northern New lersey and
have been a die-hard New York
Rangers fan all of my life, so I'm
going to have to disagree with your
prediction on the Rangers as well as
the Devils this year. You're obviously
a Bruins fan and I respect the Bruins
as a perennial good team. However. I
highly doubt they're a Cup con-
tender.
I don't know if you saw il last year,
but Kaine L.acher choked in the pay-
offs, and don't give me. "Oh. he was
a rookie last year." because look how
amazing Martin Brodeur was in the
playoffs his rookie year. The Rangers
have no question marks up and down
their roster. They acquired some big
names in the off season (Ulf
Samuelsson. Luc Robataille. Ray
Ferraro. Bruce Driver and Wayne
Presley) and their roster is probably
the most solid in the league. How
much can they be aging?
Yes, Messier is about 55-years-old
and Ferraro, Driver and Lowe are
coming near the end of their career,
but that's only four players. What
about Graves. Lectch. Kovalev.
Robataille (29-years-old). Samuel-
sson (30-years-old). Nemchinov and
many others. Their farm team is
excellent every year and if you
haven't been listening, the Tri-State
area is calling this upcoming season
the "Ranger's year." There will be set
lines (unlike last year), a solid goal-
tender in Mike Richter and the hors-
es to carry the load.
Also, the Devils have a better
chance of retaining the Cup than the
Bruins do of making it past Ihe sec-
ond round of the playoffs. Yes. the
rules might hurt their system of play,
but they have an aggressive, solid
team that doesn't make many mis-
takes and possibly have the best
defense and goalie in Ihe league.
And if your beloved Bruins make a
run at Ihe Stanley Cup. they'll have
to pass through New York and New
lersey to do it. Keep in mind the
Devils have owned the Bruins in the
past several years during the playoffs.

Critics misinterpret Million Man March
Martin F.
Jones
The Million Man March, an
event organized to rally
together African-American
men together with support from men
fremi other minority givups. will con-
vene today in our nation's Capitol
and is expected to draw the largest
participation of any demonstration in
U.S. history.
Billed as a 'day of aionemcni* for
black men. the event calls for black
men to reaffirm their commitment to
their families and communities.
Despite participation from the Rev.
Jesse Jackson and female poet Maya
Angelou. many critics have lambast-
ed the men's only event as "sexist."
The event is also
being condemned
due to ideological
and personal differ-
ences with two indi-
viduals who have
successfully conceived, organizc-d and
rallied widespread support for the
march.
One such critic is Carl Rowan, the
highly acclaimed African-American
syndicated columnist who. during the
late I%Os. served under president
Lyndon B. Johnson as head of the
U.S. Information Agency. Rowan
recently wrote a piece in which his
criticism of the march was aimed
squarely at its two sponsors: Nation
of Islam leader l>ouis Farrakhan. who
will convene the event, and former
NAACP executive director Dr.
Benjamin Chavis. |r. who is serving
as the National Director of the
march.
This is not the first time Rowan
has publicly lobbied harsh criticism
against African-American political
leaders. In the months leading up to
Chavis' dismissal from his post at the
helm of the NAACP in Aug. 1994.
Rowan maintained a consistent
unyielding and relentless attack on
Chavis of the organization's funds to
privately settle a sexual hara.ssment
suit filed against him by a former
female employee.
Even more controversial than
Chavis is the Minister Louis
Farrakhan. reviled by many of the
press and public as ami- Semitic and
divisive for his views on race,
ludaism and the state of Israel. In his
recent column. Rowan calls
Farrakhan a. "posturing, preening,
merchant of hate." and asserts that
Farrakhan. 'espouses a separate
black America in which he expects to
be king."
It would be difficult, of course, to
deny that the dismissal of Chavis
from the top post of the nation's old-
est civil rights organizations has cast
a shadow of doubt over his crexlibili-
ty. And there is little doubt
Farrakhan. as many will agree, can-
not be counted on to provide "heal-
ing' for the racial plague that has
long informed our country.
Not since Dr. Martin Luther King
ir. led a hugely successful movement
for social change in the
19b0s has another
African-American
leader been so profi-
ciently endowed with
these very essential and
valuable leadership qualities. Their
mistakes and ideological shortcom-
ings notwithstanding. Farrakhan and
Chavis are not universally recognized
as "the leaders" of the
African-American community.
Nevertheless. I still must voice my
own disagreement with Rowan and
acknowledge my support for an event
which has been endorsed by the
President of the United States him-
self.
I am not a member of the Nation
of Islam. Nor am I member ol the
NAACP. I do. however, support the
goals of both groups to promote the
interests of the African- American
community, which is in its most seri-
ous crisis in many generations. While
Rowan has done well for himself as a
successful journalist and columnist,
he would have some difficulty
explaining why his literary insight has
yet to impact the lives of millions of
young. African-Americans in the
manner that both Farrakhan and
Chavis have with their hands-on
work in the inner-cities where many
live — far removed from the news-
room where Rowan works.
After much personal deliberation.
I've decided I will participate in the
Million Man March. I. loo. share the
same concerns about the leadership
behind this event as does Rowan,
but my response is not to slander
them with a typewriter, but to be a
part of the solution instead of the
problem.
The Million Man March is iK>t an
end to itselL and those who are lead-
ing it should not be looked upon as
saints who will restore the
African-American community to
total prosperity with the wave of a
magic wand or walking stick. The
event does, however, pre-sent an his-
toric opportunity for a critical mass
of African- American men to take an
important first step towards that
which we have been criticized for
neglecting for so long — our person-
al responsibilities to ourselves, our
families and our communities.
While long on symbolism and
somewhat shorter on substance, the
Million Man March will undoubtedly
have a significant impact on the
African-American community, and
ultimately on American socio-eco-
nomic policies, for many, many years
to come. And regardless of whether
or not it meets all of the expectations
of success and failure placed upon il.
much will be learned it its aftermath,
both by those who have chosen to
attend and those who have chosen to
boycott the event.
Rowan is but one of many who
have conveniently opted out of the
march and criticized it from afar
before it has even occurred
Personally I've elected to experience
the affair for myself, firsthand, and
judge it as accurately and objectively
as any jury would. In the future. I
hope to sec critics of Chavis.
Farrakhan. and of the mareh itself to
be equally adamant in their criticism
of Newt Gingrich. President Clinton,
the Whitewater scandal, the convic-
tion of Mumia Abu-jamal. and the
notorious LAPD and Philadelphia
police department, to name a few.
While there are those of us find it
much easier to focus on individuals
like Chavis and Farrakhan in their
bemoanings of societal ills, it is much
more difficult to challenge the pow-
ers of the larger institutions that have
shaped social policies into their cur-
rent dynamics. Farrakhan and Chavis
are. in fact, doing just that, with mil-
lions following them, and many mil-
lions more- watching closely.

Matt
Audette
Ahh. the basketball season is finally up>on us.
Midnight Madness has come and gone, and I
have now. once again, become one of the small-
est minorities on campus — a UMass student who could
really care less about the ba.sketball team. NCAA. "Road
To The Final Four" and all that other hullabaloo.
Don't laugh — it's not easy. Seriously, just about
everyone on this campus, between the months of
October and April, walks, talks and breaths UMass bas-
ketball. John Calipari. this. Mare-us Camby. that ... blah,
blah. blah. What happens if your just not interested?
What happens if the fact Coach Cal signing a million
dollar deal doesn't get you all hot
between the legs, and the thought of
painting your face maroon and wearing a
basketball on your head seems, well,
down right silly? Well, let me tell you.
you're looked down upon as if you are
the biggest freak who ever had the nerve to show his
face on campus (and at this school that is quite an
accomplishment).
People wonder how I could ever bad mouth the
sacred cow the UMass basketball team has become.
They are astonished I would have the nerve to say any-
thing negative about the school's pride and joy. Well.
I'm not putting the team down. I think it is great we
finally have a winning basketball team, it's just all the
hype doesn't really do anything for me.
For example — Midnight Madness. I don't under-
stand how standing in line forever, finally finding a scat
in an arena filled with screaming, drunken students and
risk being puked on (it happened to a friend of mine),
just to watch the basketball team come out and do some
lay-ups. can be considered fun. I went when I was a
freshman and found the whole thing sort of surreal.
W^i does this have to do with basketball — it's more
like a humongous pep rally. Thanks, but no thanks.
My Dad has been an avid UMass basketball fan for
years (I can't even escape when I'm at home). He was a
.season ticket holder even before the team was any good.
He constantly would call me from home, desperately try-
ing to coax me into attending the game with him that
night.
"Fley Matt, ivhatcha doing tonight. You know.
UMass is playing Temple — what do you say?'
Bcxause I generally like my Dad. I would often give in
and accompany him to the games. I would sincerely try to
get into the spirit of the festivities, but for some odd rea-
son I just found mosl of the antics (the twiddling of the
fingers when UMass was taking a foul
shot etc.) sort of. well. — foolish.
It was obvious my Dad was disap-
pointed. Here was his oldest son. who
nc-ver played any sports when he was a
kid. not even being able to enjoy a simple
basketball game. I felt guilty and a little like an outcast.
While the thousands of other people that filled the
Mullins Center were downright frenetic over the
UMass/Temple rivalry. I was staring at my watch won-
dering if I would make it home in time "for late night
television. Obviously, my Dad infonned me. my priori-
ties were not straight.
Well, another basketball season is at our doorstep,
and it's probably a very good chance my priorities will
not be straight again. Already the buzz is zipping around
campus Midnight Madness was spectacular and the
upcoming srason is going to be fantastic. I'm sure those
tacky t-shirts they sell in the Campus Center ('Refuse
To Lose") are- being printi-d up right now and students
are already planning their strategy in orxler to get tickets.
Me? I've alre-ady got my remote cotutul handy and am
set for a hi of late night TV.

AC/DC
Ballbreaker
EasfWest
Culture lovers, take note. Those ageless proponents of
refinement and artistic maturity. AC/DC. have returned
with Hallbreaker their first studio album since I990's The
Razor's Edge.
The new songs bv Australia's top musical export are
stunning, multi-layered, beautifully textured works — fea-
turing intricate acoustic arrangements, soaring vocal har-
monies and tender lyrics addressing an array of contempo-
rary social issues.
Such songs as "Cover You In Oil,' "Th
Honey Roll' and the emotional "Caught
With Your Pants Down." with lyrics like
"Wanna dance, wanna sing, wanna whip
you with the lickin' thing." could bring a
warm glow to even the most cynical lis-
tener.
Long renowned for their sensitivity
towards women, the Wonders From
Down Under certainly include plenty
on Ballhreaker to please the ladies
What woman could resist such a seductive
and romantic come-on as. "The way she dress,
she look so fine. I'll make her wet. I'll make her mine"
and "She like it hard, she like it slow. All right honey,
come on let's go."
Okay, enough fun. Honestly? If you like AC/DC. you'll
enjoy this album. The band actually returns to their blues
roots on a number of tracks, and old drummer Phil Rudd
is back in the fold after an absence of a few years For
non- AC/DC fans, you'll get a good chuckle at the re-tard
ed state of adolescent hominess that Angus and Malcolm
^oung have carried into their mid-forties. And oh yeah,
it. like, rocks real loud. Grade: B-f for AC/DC albums and
C- for "real* albums. (|osh Wardrop)
MMT PUPPETS
No Joie
London Records
Ever since their self-tilled debut in 1981. the Meat
Puppets have strayed further away from what is punk.
Thn.)ugh periods of country-thrash (Meal Puppets II) to
ZZ Top biH.>gie (llue\os.) it wasn't until re-cently that the
band, particularly guitarist Curt Kirkwood. has been
noticed for songwriting prowess.
Their laicit. So joke, maintains such a strong sense of
melody and poetics, yet it rocks on more straightforward
levels like their last offering. Too High Too Pie.
Songs like 'Scum" and 'Eyeball" have an uncanny
appeal deep within their metallic grooves while 'Head"
and "Predator' slows things down a bit to produce worth-
while ballads.
The Me«l Puppets have refined their sound greatly with
the prodtction help of Butthole Surfer Paul Leary The
biggest problem is that the energy level lacks in all its
slickncss. Fortunately, the songs themselves makes up for
all that. C+ (Wayken Shaw)
SPIRIT GUM
Il I Had A HiFi
Elektra
Spirit Gum claims infiuences ranging from Bob Dylan
to Metallica. Their debut album // / Had .4 HiFi is an
ambitious attempt to meld the varied influences from
their formative years in order to yield both a fresh and
classic amalgam. The band's overzealous intent, along
with poor self production, leaves them with a patchy
effort lacking artistic direction.
// / Had .4 HiFi incorporates equal parts acoustic and
electric instrumentation to produce a sort of psychedelic
grunge. The lead track and first single off the album.
"Climb Out of Your Skull,' is a murky,
mid-tempo rocker thai plods along with a
droning rhythm. A more appropriate candi-
date for a lead single is "Planet Dirt.' a much
stronger song reminiscent of Soundgarden's
latest work.
"Plastic Doom" is another track worthy
of mention, yet its solid musical com
position is dragged down by the some-
times cliche lyrics. "I'd leave it all for
J you. I'd lose my life for you." For mosl
/ of the album. Spirit Gum comes off as a
bunch of art) students in a high school
bund who lake themselves way too seriously.
There are- very few other tracks on the remainder ol
the album that manage to capture one's attention long
enough to get past the first verse. The main weaknesses
seem to be a noticeable lack of catchy and fully developed
riffs, along with a plethora of H>phomoric lyrics.
Seth Abelson. guitarist and st>ngwriier for the trio stal
c-d. "we're already licking our lips lor the next album."
Perhaps he and the rest of the band should sink his teeth
into developing his lyrics and focusing the bands energy,
instead of Irving desperalelv to create "indefinable" music.

Knife Edge
Green linnet
Brooks Williams is a true journeyman who has brought
together his eclectic travel experiences on knife FJge. a
folky acoustic album brimming with a hearty colkxiion ol
songs.
While his voice is quite similar to that of lames
Taylor's, Brooks' guitar playing is distinguished by more
rhythmic strumming and fine slide playing. Songs such as
"Lee's Highway' and "Ouiet Days" are flavored by Celtic
infiuencc while others such as "Late Night Train" and
Nighl Fears" possess a more country oriented bluegrass
sound.
Ftx)m the toe tapping rhythm of 'Monterey Pines" to
the somber 'Cavt-s of Missoun.' Williams paints a visual
landscape with lyrics like, "crackling of a million fires,
throughout the forest pine coni-s burst."
fudgi,ig from the titles of his songs here-, it seems that
W illiams is a bit of a troubadour who has apparently bt-en
inspired by his extensive travels both throughout the U.S.
and abroad Songs like "Bellast Blues." "Rotterdam Bar"
and "Boston to Dublin" indicate that Williams is pri)
loundly infiuenccd by the places he visits and his subse-
quent experiences.
AC/DC display* touch of class on their new album.
Williams' lyrics are- often very desinpiive and perstmal
allowing the listener to come along in his mental journeys
The si>ng that best typifies Knife Edge and its sense ol
exploration is "Wander's Scmg" because it was written on
the premise that "sometimc's yc>u have to go away to real-
ize where- you came from." Williams ha> gone away and
upon his return, he succeeds in bringinij hack what he has
found along the way In the words of Bob Dylan, this
album is simply "ilringing It All Back Home.' B +

VITO ON THl BEACH
ASK A NICE GIRL
Curtoin Theoter
Oct 11-14
The University of Massachusetts
Department of Theater opened its
1995-96 season with sold out per
formances of four-one act plays at
the Curtain Theater.
'Vito on the Beach" by Samuel
Schwartz, was a charming and
touching play about a gay boxer
who hires an artist to paint his por-
trait. Vito. played by |asc Woodruff,
is a txjxer in his mid-thirties who
has just retired. He hires Chase,
played by Brandon Whitehead, to
do the portrait.
As their conversation evolves we
learn that Vito is gay. and that he
and his managers felt compelled to
hide his gay identity by fabricating
stories of re-lationships with women.
Vito boasts that he has had hun
dre-ds of male sexual partners, all ol
whom where hustled by his manag-
er.
Chase then confesses that he mei
Vito on the beach in Coney Island
once, when he was 1 1 and Vito was
19. Being, obsessed with the beauty
of Vito_s body, he has been paint-
ing pictures of him ever since.
Vito later admits that he is re-tir-
ing because he is MIV positive, and
he wants a final p<.)rtrail of himself
painted which will hide the scars of
his years as a boxer. Chase then
tells how his only sexual exf>erience
was with a model who raped him.
and from that one experience, he
also contracted the AIDS virus.
Woodruff's Vito is rugged, but
charming, with a very convincing
Coney Island accent Whitehead as
Chase is vulnerable and endearing.
Throughout the play one senses a
strong affinity between the two
characters, in spite of their physical
and emotional differe-nces.
The play concludes with Chase
and Vito doing a short but sweet
slow dance together on the beach
Vito then invites Chase home with
him. and they depart together.
"Ask a Nice Girl' is Ihc title of a
radio show hosted by Kalhy la
Francesca (Nicole Higgins). Kalhy
purports to be one of the few nice
girls left on the planet, and her
show is devoted to spreading the
word that it is okay to be a nice girl.
The play opens with the show„s
no-nonsense stage manager Fred
Smith, played, in a very funny and
dry comic style by Robyn Breiderick.
instructing Ihe theater audience
turned radio show audience, on the
rules of live radio.
From the start we suspect Kalhy
may be a bit spoiled because her
father owns the station. As the
radio program progresses we sec
her respond to letters by telling peo-
ple they're losers, hanging up on
disagreeable callers, and brutally
rejecting the romantic interests of a
technical worker. It Ixxomes appar-
ent that Kalhy is re-ally not so nice,
and is in fact an emotionally trou-
bled woman.
The play is well limed and
humorous, with particularly funny
perfonnances by Dana Rossi as the
rejected Clifford, and Mehran
Khaghani as the unsuspecting bach-
elor on the Ask a Nice Giri Dating
Game.
The plot takes a serious turn
when a word association game
played by Kalhy with her (soon to
be ex) boyfriend betrays possible
sexual abuse by her father. The play
concludes with an monologue t)y a
desperate and confused Kalhy vainly
defending her virtue and niccness.

Murphy's Law rocks Pearl St.
By Adam Dlugocz
GTllegiate Correspondent
MUKPHY'S LAW
PeoH Street
Oct 12
The lights dimmed and muscles
tensed as excitement charged thtvugh
the air. Bodies flew, fists were
thrown, legs were kicked and kids
screamed as loud as they could.
Thursday night Pearl Street was hit
by the maelstrom of mayhem known
as Murphy's Law.
As limmy Spliff and his crew blast-
ed through their first song "Quest
For Herb" it was obvious they were
here to party. Unlike most concerts
where the hJouncers keep the stage
clear of civilians. Murphy's Law had
no problem sharing, limmy G.
informed the crowd that "My micro-
phone is your microphone and my
stage is your stage."
Not only did that statement lead to
kids mobbing limmy for every song,
but at one point someone got on
stage and played a complete song
without limmy singing a word,
limmy chatted with the crowd,
poured buckets of water on them,
and quite frc-queniiy pulled them on
stage with him.
As for the set list, it was business
as usual as Murphy's Law blasted
through some classics like "Cavity
Creeps". "Panty Raid." "A Day In
The Life." and "Ska Song' as well as
some new ones like "Saratoga."
"Shut Up" and "Someone's Gonna
Get Their Head Kicked In' which is
already a crowd favorite.
Seeing Murphy's Law live isn't like
going to a regular concert, it is more
of a spiritual experience. As jimmy
G. told me later "Hardcore/punk
isn't about Green Day playing stadi-
ums or Rancid being on the cover of
Spin, it's about us. It's about you.
me. kids coming to shows, bands
charging six bucks to play. We are all
part of the hardcore family."
Mjrphy's Law is the epitome of
this hardcore family, as they jump
around on stage always with smiles
on their faces, limmy Spliff added. "I
don'l have a good time playing if the
kids aren't having a good time."
For ten years Murphy's Law has
been playing, and never has someone
left a show without smiling.
Thursday night was no exception.

The Ramones have changed their
name to The Riverdales. oops. I
mean Screeching Weasel have
changed their name to The
Riverdales. Ben Weasel m now Ben
Foster, and he is fronting a band that
sounds exactly like The Ramones.
This album is full of "ooh ahhs' and
"1.2.5's' just like the Ramones.
Most songs talk about being in
love. Of course, with title's like
'Back To You." "Not Over Me,"
"She's Gonna Break Your Heart"
and "I Think About You During the
Commercials.' what do >ou expect'.'
We also see Ben Foster's trademark
biting, tongue in cheek, in "Fun
Tonight" "Rehabilitated" and
"Wanna Be .'\lright.'
Give Ben credit for not trying to
hide the fact that he wanted to do a
band that sound like the Ramones.
which is something bands like Face
(We shamelessly rip-off the
Descendants) To Face and Penny
(Bad Religion! Wise have never
done. Furthermore every batnl from
Green Day to the Queers owe every
cent they ever made to the Ramones.
and at least The Riverdales don't
sound like a stereotypical mix
between NOFX and Bad Religion
On its own this self tilled debut is
good but it doesn't live up to the
greatness of Screeching Weasel. Oh
yeah, if you're wondering who the

The Riverdales' debut is an ode to the Ramones.

like those green haired punk
exploiters who used tt> be on this

shamefully rip off that aforemen-
tioned band, the album is impressive
enough to forgive yourself for buying
this album.
This doesn't break any new
ground, as they incorporate that
same style that the Descendants used
years ago. However some songs add
a bit of spice. "Headache All Day"

quintet from Tacoma, Wash, retunr-
with their Hollywood Records debui
Spanaway.
The album has been toted "the
ultimate culmination of the forces ut
rock." but it is more along the lines
of the ultimate in mediocrity.
Seaweed show themselves to be just
another group trying to cash in on
the grunge fad.
Instrumentally. Spanauay hits
hard with relentless guitar and
drums. The album starts off with a
style reminiscent of Nirvana
Influences from Pearl lam. Soul
Asylum and Green Day also domi-
nate this album.
"Start With." an irresistible song
about money corrupting lives and
friendships thai will keep you hum
ming for days, saves this album from
being tossed into a pile of rejects. Ii
is also one of the few songs that you
can understand without pulling out
the lyrics.
Lyrically. Seaweed sound like they
are Irving too hard — not that it
makes a difference, since you can't
understand what Wade Neal is say-
ing anyway. "Defender" sounds like
Neal's impression of Green Dav's
Billy loe.
If you love electric guitar, this
album might be for you. If it's great
lyrics you desire, look elsewhere
Seaweed has potential, but it is
unfortunate that they are trapped in
a typical garage-band shell. C (Tino

Legendary Little Feat return to Valley
Vndescrihahle classic hand brings eclectic show to Noho
By Michael McCloskey
CoJIegion Cofeiporvdent
Try describing what kind of music Little Feat play and
you'll scxin find yourself spewing out words like: blues,
ja^z. country and rock Over the past 25 years. Little Feat
have constantly evolved arxi managed lo put a new spin
on their funky fusions on each of their 1 2 albums.
The Southern California septet begins its 25ih year with
a back-lo-basic> sound thai highlights their blues and
R&B roots.
Their new album. Ain't Had Enough Fun is in some
ways a teslimcmy of their endurance as a band. Following
the departure of long time vocalist Craig Fuller in 1995.
and the folding of their record label. Little Feat .seemed on
the verge of having to call it quits. Instead of ending it all
and going their separate ways. Little Feat rallied around
their strength as a band and proceeded to a'cruit vocalist
Shaun Murphy to begin recording their new album.
Bill VK'ray. producer and co-\*Titer of several songs on
the album played an integral part in coaxing Murphy to
step up and take charge of the band. Murphy reacted with
a great enthusiasm that yielded what she calls "a
ridin-in-lhe-car- with-the-top-down" kind of album.
Much of the band's vigor can l>e heard on the lead track
"Drivin Blind." which is a tuneful Afncan/cajun blend.
Other highlights include the bluesy "Cadillac Hotel" and
the boogie woogie "Big Band Theory."
Similar to groups like The Allman Brothers and Phish.
Little Feat's strength lies in its ability to perform live.
Guitarist Paul Barrere is the first to tell you "Little Feat is
a live band." The looseness of their song arrangements
allow them the freedom to tear into solos and take the
crowd on a audio sojourn through the streets of New
Orleans.
Little Feat prove that they must be doing something
right to have hung around for a quarter of a century. To
find out the secret of their success, be sure to catch them
when they roll into town to play their cajun concoctions.
Liiile Feat will appear at Pearl Street Tuesday night at
8 p.m. For ticket information, contact Pearl Street at 584-
7771.

"We really fought hard from begin-

"Providence is a lough team. They

The UMass defense played well in
this contest as well. Walker tallied lU

key defensive save to keep the Lady

on the board early.
For the Minutewomen. this game

Massachusetts coach Megan
Donnelly is pleased with the job Gore
has done.
"Mel has been doing a great job for
us." Donnelly said. "She's improved
so much from last year."
Last year might not have been
much of one to remember for Gore, if
it hadn't been lor an injury to |en
Gutzman.
After looking like the leading can-
didate to start at right back.
Gutzman went down with a torn
anterior cruciate ligament in
pre-season last year, finishing her
season.
With Gutzman out. Gore moved
into the starting line-up.
"It was disappointing that |en
couldn't play, but it wasn't exactly an
opportunity I could turn down." Gore
said.
She didn't turn it down arui fiad a
an excellent year lor UMass as a part
of one of the nation's ficst defensive
units.
Gore learned a lot playing along
some tremendous players, and
credits AU-American sweeper
Natalie Hart with helping her con-
siderably.
'Having Natalie helped." she said.
"A year with Natalie and you can
learn a lot "
A year later. Gore has stepped up
even more, but likes her role as the
underrated leader, passing the
praise on i\) the now healthy
Gutzman.
"I'm just doing my job. |en is the
leader on defense." said Gore, who is
happy to be playing along side her
rather than playing in her spot.
*|cn and I are communicating
well."
In addition to her sound defense.
Gore's play has helped jump-start the
transition offense.
"Mel is so fast." Donnelly said.
"Last year when she'd intercept the
ball, she'd just fire it up field This
year she's moving with the ball, giv-
ing us an extra weapon."
Gore provided another extra in
UMass 5-2 loss to lames Madison.

ry amidst the miserable playing con-
ditions. The Bulls tailed to score in
the first quarter, and their nine total
points came on three field goals. The
UMass running game sloshed their
way to a 547-yard day, as Rene
Ingoglia and Alessio managed to hold
their balance on the soaked grass.
That Swan guy'.' He netted just 14
yards on 10 carries, while coming
into the game averaging 105.7.
The victory moved the Minutemen
to .500 at 5-5. a record that seems so
far away Imm 2-4 The victory came
at the mid-season point of a rathcT dis-
appointing season, in the sense of how
the preseason polls looked to favor
UMass. Some publications had the
Minutemen in their Top 25 in Division
l-AA ranks. The Sporting Seus had
them at No. 17. They were predicted
to finish near the top of the Yankee
ConferetKe's New England Division.
They had two Ail-Americans com-
ing back in Ingoglia and Hreun
Parker, and the quarterback situation
looked to be solved, as the confidence
was there in Vito Campanile. A 2- 5
record was not expected heading into
the Buffalo game, since they haven't
really hit the meat of their Yankee
Conference schedule just yet. And
sophomore Anthony Catterton wasn't
expected to take over Campanile's
starting OH job at this point.
But now. UMass is at the .500 clip.
Now it has a victory under their belt
before heading into their next game
against William & Mary. It goes to
show how truly interesting a football
season can be. where* a team may not
know if they're coming or going.
With a mere loss, a season can look
to be going down the tubes. With a
win, the season can open up many
possibilities.
Saturday's win, besides boosting
the Minutemen's confidence, opens
up those possibilities.

Pats lose fifth straight, fall to Chiefs
By Doug Tucker
Associoted Prew
KANSAS CITY. Mo. —
Arrowhead Stadium's capacity crowd
of 78.000 must have felt cheated.
Instead of sprinting 76 yards for
the go-ahead touchdown. Steve Bono
ambled two for a score. Instead of
going into overtime as they did in
winning their first three home games,
the Kansas City Chiefs needed only
60 minutes to beat New England 51-
26 on Sunday and go to 6-1 for the
first time since their Super Bowl year
of 1969. The Patriots did provide late
drama, however, with the help of a
weird play in the final two and a half
minutes. Troy Brown caught a Drew
Bledsoe pass but fumbled. In the
scramble for the ball, 295 pound
tackle Max Lane grabbed it out of the
air and ran 50 yards to the six. set-
ting up Bledsoe's scoring pass to Will
Moore that made it 51-26 with 2:07
left.
The Chiefs had to punt with 1 :4 1
left, but Dale Carter intercepted
Bledsoe on the first play.
New England coach Bill Parcells.
who promised lineup changes after
the Patriots (1-5) lost their fourth
straight the week before, unveiled
different starters at several positions,
including center, tight end, nose tack-
le, free safety and right inside line-
backer. One man he stuck with was
right cornerback tricky Reynolds,
who got beat for touchdowns by two
different receivers within 2:12 of
each other in a 21 -point third quar-
ter.

Leading 24-10 at halftime. the

downs until late in the fourth as the
Patriots closed to 24-19 on Matt

TD pass of the year. But on fourth-

Bono scrambled and hit Lake
Dawson for 15 yards. Two plays
later. Greg Hill bur»t nine yards up
the middle to make it 51-19 with
6:46 lefi. handing the Patriots their
fifih straight loss. Bono finished 16
of 40 for 209 yards with two touch-
down passes, while Bledsoe was 25
of 46 for 257 yards and his first two
TDs of the season.
Bledsoe had been the NFl,'s only
starting quarterback without a scoring
pass. But 10:10 into the third pcriixl.
he connected with Vincent Brisby on a
22-yarder in the end zone. Curtis
Martin was stopped on a 2point con-
version run and the score remained
24-19. Bono, who set a quarterback

are one of the best teams in the coun-
try-
Gore had been a hero before, usu-
ally for saving goals and keeping her
team alivc^ but last wix'k her heroics
made it onto the stat sheet.
To say scoring a goal is rare for the
defensive specialist is an understate-
ment.
Gore's goal was the first of her col-
legiate career.
In fact. Gore only had two caseer
shots on net prior to the lames
Madison game. Even in high school,
the Brewster native only scored
once.
While Gore has been consistent
most of the year, the team has had
to overcome injuries and growing
pains.
With four games remaining in the
regular season, things are starling to
come together lor the
Minutewomen.
They produced two solid wins this
weekend and are looking to finish
strong, prompting observers to won-
der what might have been if the
Minutewomen could get another
crack at their schi-dule.
• A large part of the recent sue
cess can be attributed to the
younger players stepping up.
Freshman forward Erica lohnston
has raised the level of her play late-
ly, highlighted by game-winning
goals over Old Dominion and
Providence.
Fellow freshmen Kate Putnam
and Laura Phelan have been solid as
well.
• With Gutzman still recovering
from last year's injury, Donnelly
moved Amy Oit's considerable tal
ents away from the midfield. so she
could play sweeper.
Now that Gutzman has played well
since re-turning. Ott has moved back
to the midfield where she has also
been strong.
• A chance to start the season
over would allow UMass to get mid-
fielder Kerry Metelski into the line
up as well. Metelski injured her leg
prior to the first game of the sea
son.
She is still in rehabilitation now
and could see some playing time
before the end of the season.

The New Kngland Championships
was a cuming out parl\ for ihe
Massaehusells men's cross country
team. For the first time this season,
the Minutcmen as a whole, put
together a winning effort.
The results were a fourth place
finish at one o( (he most competi-
tive meets of the season. Prior to
this weekend, the Minuiemen could
not place five solid finishers at the
same meet It seemed that every
runner ».<^ pcjkinj; ji diflcrent
limes
In what IMass coach Ken O'Brien
called the "best day of the season."
the Minutemen l».iok a huge step in
becoming a legitimate contender for
post-seasv>n titles.
Matt Kehl and Mike Maceiku con-
tinued to be the first UMass runners
across the line, finishing lOth and
I2ih overall. They ran impressively,
crossing the line at 2i minutes, seven
-econds and 2S minutes, nine sec-
onds, respectively. Their perfor-
mances came as no surprise to the
team Instead, ii was the running ot
their teammates, the supporting cast,
that stole the show.
"This was a great team effort."
O'Brien said. "It was by far the best
perlormance by our top three run-
ners. Hthan Nadeau in particular.
"Having him join Behl and
Maceiko up front tremendously
helped us. and his contribution is
why we finished as high as we did
tixfay."
The junior Nadeau ^.^^— _
ran one of the best
races of his career. It
was not his high finish
that was so special, it
was what he did
throughout the begin-
ning of the race. From
the sound of the starl-
ing gun. Nadeau ran
out ahead in the lead.
He was the lead L^Mass
runner fiir Tiiuch of the
race, dictating the
pace. He held this posi-
tion until Kehl and Maceiko caught
up to him. This took pressure off the
team's tup two runners. Not only did
Nadeau set the tempo for UMass. he
held on to cross the line five seconds
jfier Maceiko. He finished third for
UMass. I t)th overall.
Nadeau was not the only runner to
step it up J notch this weekend.
Senior Mark Kuffone turned in the
best five-niilc time of his career, fin-
ishing with a time of 25;48. It was
good enough for a 34th place finish
overall.
Bulfonc has now finished in the
top lour for UMass two weeks in a
row. and is

himself as
one of the
Minutemen's
lop perform-
ers.
Another
pleasant sur-
prise was
the perfor-
mance of
sophomore
Ryan
Carrara who
also ran the
hc^i five-mile lime of his young
career. His lime of 36:12 was good
enough lor SI si place overall. More
important than his overall finish was
where he finished fur UMass. His
running was superb, and he rounded

with our perfor-
mance. Not only am I
extremely happy, but
it felt good to see
what we are really

out a tough Massachusetts top five.
"I am very pleased with our per-
formance." O'Brien said.
"Not only am I extremely happy,
but it fell good to see what we are
really capable of."
The New England Championships
are always a competitive meet.
Finishing in the top five overall is
quite an accomplishment. Knocking
off three NCAA Top 25 teams is even
more difficult.
UMass did both of these this
weekend. How they did it is no
secret. They used a sound strategy of
teamwork and aggressiveness, some-
thing that until this meet was lack-
ing.
The next test for UMass will be on
Oct. 28. at Ihe Atlantic 10
Championships. This will be a chance
lor the Minuiemen to see how they
slack up against ihe other top teams
in the conference.
Teams such as Virginia Tech and
St. loseph's will be looking to
squash any championship hopes thai
Massachusetts has. If the
Minutemen turn in the kind of per-
formances that they had this week-
end, then they will be standing atop
the Allaniic iU.

UMass opened a five match home
stand in the Curry Hicks Cage with
an easy sweep over Dayton Friday
night (li-6. 15-3. and 15-10).
Highlighting the evening's victory
was the return of junior outside hitler
Giza Rivera, who plaved her first
home game since Sept. 16. Rivera's
first match afier recovering from an
ankle injury was last week's blanking
of Boston College, where she tallied
1 1 kills and 1 1 digs.
This was the first time the
Minuiewomen squared off against
cither of the two new additions to the
A- 10. and they were prepared
"I watched a lot ol tape on them. I
think they're j Dayton) a better team
than thcv played tonight." Kenny
said. "I don't expect it to be like that
when we turn around and play them
in a few weeks."
UMass came out strong in the
beginning of game one knotting the
score al live, but went on to win
decisiveh. Sophomore middle blcvk-
er Michelle Paciorck played a superb
offensive match, notching 10 kills for
the evening. This marks the third
time in five games Paciorck has
earned double digits in kills. It was
Rivera who led the offense once
again, totalling 15 kills for the
.Acnmg. fitting back inio her role as
J team leader.
"She's an asset. She's a go-to per-
son and this is the first match that I
felt she has really been back. She's
played ihe last three matches, but
struggled a little bii." Kenny said.
Game two speaks for itself.
Minuiewomen 15. Flyers 3. "Nufl
Said.
Momentum shifted in the final
game as Massachusetts had trouble
putting Dayton away.
"I think wc lo^l our inlcnsiiv rn
(icfcnsc. Our block gut raggedy,
that's your first line of defense. Then
the backcciurt defense tries to cover
the whole floor instead of certain
areas." Kenny said.
Despite the game three lull, the
Minutewc>men were playing on all
cylinders, playing great team ball.
Kenny compared this win to the early
season intensity her squad displayc"d
at the UC-Sania Barbara Invitalicmal.
"Ue all played well and all of us
got our jobs done." Rivera said. "We
were out there playing like a team,
together. "
Massachusciis 3. Xavier 0
The Minuiewomen opened the
match with the same intensity thcv
displayed the night before winning
1 5-S. 1 5-6 and 15-10. The offensive
combination of Rivera. Paciorck and
sophomore outside hitler Lesley
Nolan consistently ate away at the
Musketeer's defense.
Rivera posted 18 kills, earning
double figures in that category for
the fifth consecutive match. Equally
as impressive, she had only four
errors in 2b attacks. Senior middle
blocker Rachel Sky tallied seven
kills for the night, while Nolan net-
ted eight.
Once again. UMass faced another
lull in game three play. Xavier look
an early 8-1 lead. Kenny's squad
ciimc out flat, and it was not until
Nolan picked up the offense with
some big kills that momentum
jumped back up.
"The same thing happened in game
three that happened JFriday nighlj."
Kenny said. "Blocking respcmsibilities
broke down a little bit. which hurt
our backcourt defense. But. I think
it's great that we can be down H-1
and come back. That showed a lot of
poise and maturity."
Looking at the big picture, the
Minuiewomen returned home and
played well. As the A-10 tournament
comes near, each win becomes more
crucial.
"Our team is just starting to come
around. It makes a big difference
when you are using the same people.
They get used to each other and
know each other's tendencies "
Kenny said. "It makes a big diffc
ence and I think that's why wet
starting to gel a little bit."

Rachel Sky returns a serve during the Minutewomen's victory over new
Atlantic 10 foe Dayton Friday night.
Siljanovski y Bremke lead
mens soccer over Bonnies
By Leigh Torbin
CoUagion Staff
Dave Siljanovski and Karsten
Bremke each scored a pair of goals
as the Massachusetts men's soccer
team trashed St. Bonavenlure 5-1 on
Saturday in Glean, N.Y.
Siljanovski's goal in the 15th
minute was the first halfs sole strike,
but the Minutemen (11-5-2 overall.
6-1-1 in the Atlantic 10) rattled off
four second half scores to down the
Bonnies (6-8-1. 4-6-1).
UMass is now unbeaten in its last
six. with five wins and one tie. as it
prepares for a tough week with home
matches Wednesday against regional
rival Dartmouth, and Saturday
against Rhode Island, who is current-
ly first in the A-10.
The match marked the return of
Bremke. who had nut played since
injuring his leg in a 4-1 loss against
Hartford (Sept. 26) at the Hawk's
Al-Marzook Field.
Bremke tallied the game-winner in
the 55rd minute from Siljanovski
and later scored from Mike Butler in
the 70th minute.
The goals are only the second and
third of the year for last year's A-10
Rookie of the Year, who has been
plagued by injuries in 1995.
In addition to his assist on
Brcmke's second goal. Butler also
scored unassisted in the S8th
minute.
Butler is second on the team in
both goals and assists this season,
trailing only Siljanovski in each cate-
gory.
Senior Eric Gruber played the full
90 minutes in goal for the
Minutemen. making six saves.
Gruber did not allow a goal until
St. Bonaventure's David Hesch
scored from Dan Heirick in the
match's 89th minute.
Gruber lowered his
goals-against-average to 1.29 with
Saturday's one-goal effort.
Hesch's late goal hardly effected
the Minutemen. as Siljanovski scored
unassisted in the 90th minute to close
the scoring and give the Minutemen a
5-1 decision.
UMass has never lost to the
Bonnies. winning all six meetings
between the sides.
Not only have the Minutemen
owned St. Bonavenlure, but they
have defeated them handily of late,
winning the past two meetings
between the schools by a 9-1 score.
Dartmouth is next on the schedule
for the Minutemen as the teams will
duel on Wednesday.
A year ago UMass fell 3-2 in
Hanover, NH to the always tough Big
Green, which holds a 22-3-5
all-lime record against UMass.
With Saturday's victory, the
Minuiemen further solidified their
second place position in the A-10, as
they trail only No. 17 nationally
ranked URi.
URI defeated Temple 2-0 on
Saturday to remain perfect in the
conference and unbeaten overall.
The Rams have been a surprise
team in the A-10 after going 9-10 in
1994.
The Minuiemen will race the Rams
in a noon match on Saturday. Oct.
22. at Richard F. Garber Field.

UMass defeats Buffalo for third win
By Mike Reiss
Collegion Staff
AMHERST. NY — When
Ma>sachu>t;ti> football coach Mike
HudgcN walked oui of ihe tunnel ai
halfiime of Saturdays game against
Huflalo. his eyes took to a beautiful
sight.
Thunderous gusts of wind.
Relentless rainfall. A football field
turned kwamp.
No, this wasn't exactly your best
pictun: of fall foliage.
"When I turned around and told
our team what was going on outside.
they started to get real excited."
Hodges said. "I think the weather
really pumped them up."
Indeed it did. because UMass
opened up a tight game at halftime to
coast, glide and slide its way to a
'i'i-'i non- conference victory over
Division I -A A independent Buffalo.
At halftime. the Minutemen led 14-<}.
But by the time the LMass uniforms
had turned a mud-laden brown, and
the field was chewed up like an
offensive lineman's lunch, the
Minutemen had convincingly dis-
posed of overmatchcxJ Buffalo.
It started early in the third quarter
when UMass elected to defer the ball
to the Bulls in order to have the wind
at its back. 'I felt that was the choice
to make." Hodges said. "With the
way that wind was going, it was
going to be tougti to move the ball."
UMass had no problem. Aided by
the*strong wind it never really need-
ed, senior running back Rene
Ingoglia capped off a ID-play drive
In which the Minutemen never put
the ball in the air. darting around the
right end for a 5-yard score at 10:59.
Kicker Eric Oke's extra point failed,
making it 20-9. Oke also missed a
long field goal in the first half, and
was replaced by freshman Andy
Maclay later in the game.
The UMass offensive dominance
continued when Frank Alessio scored
his second touchdown of the contest
at 4:36 of the third quarter from 15
yards out. Alessio finished with 172
yards on 19 carries, while Ingoglia
had 148 on 26. and three touch
downs. When UMass puts two backs
over the 100-yard mark, it never
loses. (Note: The team is 22-0 since
1957 in that scenario.!
■|V)th running backs were very tal-
ented and they ran behind a great
offensive line." said Buffalo line-
backer Craig Guest. 'We knew they
had two backs with great speed and
that if we keyed on one. they'd
switch to another."
UMass had the luxury to continual-
ly put the ball in the hands of
Ingoglia and Alessio largely in pan to
its defense. For a unit that was
scorched for 54 points against URI
two weeks back and then burned fur
52 against then-winless UNH last
week. Saturday's effort was, to say in
one word, impressive.
Eleven sacks. Two fumble recover-
ies. Five pass break- up's. One inter-
ception And the group did it without
second- leading tackier Elvis
Abellard. the inside linebacker who
was out with a knee injury.
"The defense is coming together,
and Buffalo is not a bad offensive
football team," Hodges said.
Looking for a star on defense? It
would be hard to single out just one
Minuteman. because Justin Riemer
(II tackles, two sacks), Khari
Samuel 1 1 1 tackles, one sack), jason
Tudryn (seven tackles, one INT),
Mike Dawson (seven tackles, one
sack) and many others all put in
star-studded performances. Buffalo
finished with just 1 52 yards rushing,
with a bulk of that number coming
when the outcome was already decid
ed (20 yards at halftime).
For UMass, the win was
much-needed, and could very well
mark the turning point of what has
been a team- proclaimed disappoint-
ing season up to this point. The club
is 5-5 overall, 1-5 in Yankee
Conference play, and faces William
& Mary next Saturday, Oct. 21, at
Homecoming. Buffalo drops to 2-5.

Much-needed win
for Minutemen
AMHERST, NY — Saturday's 55-9 victory was
just what the Massachusetts iuotball team needed.
It wasn't necessary to have the torrential down-
pour being blown around by whirling winds, so it
wasn't the ideal setting. It wasn't a Yankee
Conference win, so it doesn't have as much clout as
being a game up in conference play. It wasn't the
best field conditions as the University at Buffalo
Stadium turned into a swamp. It also wasn't the best
opponent on the Minutemen's schcHJule. The UMass
passing game wasn't opened up against the Bulls, as
was hoped. It was being played in Amherst, but it
wasn t the Amherst, Massachusetts the Minutemen
call their home turf.
It was simply a win in a must-win situation, com-
plete with perfect timing here at mid-season. It was
a tum-around after a rough two-game losing skid. It
was a convincing victory, complete with a solid
effort on both sides of the ball. It was done in fine
fashion, especially considering the weather condi-
tions. It was done with just 14 yards passing, but
that was irrelevant since it was not needed. And
though it was not Amherst. Mass.. the conditions
provided "UMass-typc weather," according to tail-
back Frank Alessio.
Three hundred and forty-seven rushing yards, 1 1
sacks and an interception later, the Minutemen's
season is now looking up. From what Mike Hodges
called an embarrassing 54-0 loss at the hands of
Rhode Island on Sept. 50, to the disappointing
52-29 loss two weekends ago, thea- had to be some
improvement. The effort was apparent last week, as
the players and coaches noted the practices leading
up to the UNH game as the best they had seen. But
as for the confidence factor. Saturday's game was a
test
It was the lime to raise morale. A good effort was
not going to be enough, as evident by the UNH
game. Three improvements seemingly needed to be
made. They had to one. watch their turnovers, since
they had three crucial ones in that UNH tilt. Two.
they had to hold the opponents in the fir>t quarter,
something they have struggled with in the first five
games (being outscored 55-17 in opening quarters).
And three, they had to move the ball on offense, and
stop the Buffalo running game led by sophomore
Anthony Swan.
Saturday, they did all ot that. They had just one
turnover on the wet and windy day. arguably the
most impa'ssive ingredient of the Minuteman victo-

Monsoon doesn't stop "Madness
ff
By JusHn C. Smith
Collegian Staff
OArMION SMITH / COUICIAN
Marcus Camby goes up for a dunk during Midnight Madness Sunday morning, signi-
fying the start of the 1995- 96 basketball season.
In may have been a monsoon outside, but inside the
William D. Mullins Center, it was pure madness.
Midnight Madness, that is.
The annual kickoff to the college basketball season
could not be dampened by the downpour that students
had to endure to get to the arena. UMass supporters were
out in full fore; to cheer the Minutemen. who this season
will look to win their fifth consecutive Atlantic 10 confer
ence title, with their new battle cry. "One for the
Thumb."
"It's a great way to start off the season and let |the
fansj know they are appreciated." Massachusetts coach
lohn Calipari said. "This is an exciting night for everyone
to get involvc"d in the program."
From the moment the doors opened, it was a frantic
scene of people scrambling for the best seats available,
hanging up signs with the Midnight Madness theme, and
meeting up with old friends that enjoy spending the bas-
ketball season together.
just 15 minutes into the evening the first chants of,
"U!"... "Mass!", could be heard throughout the building.
One of the loudest ovations of the night came shortly
afterwards when Janice Camby was acknowkxlgcd by the
UMass crowd for her contribution to the squad.
When Massachusetts Lottery announcer Dawn Hayes
was introduced for the nightly drawing, the stands were
pure bedlam. By the time the UMass band broke into
"Gary Glitter's Rock and Roll Part H" the near capacity
crowd was back in mid-season form, ready to blow the
roof off of the stadium.
When the lights dimmed and smoke filtered out of the
runway that leads to the home locker room, finally it was
time for the 1995-96 Massachusetts basketball team to
be introduced.
Freshman walk-on and Greenfield native Ross Bums
was first out of the tunnel and onto the fioor, but it was
the last Minuteman out of the locker room, junior cen-
ter Marcus Camby, that got the loudest cheer of the
night, even bigger than the ovation showered upon his
mother.
The 6-foot-l 1-Inch shot-blocking, slam-dunking
machine from Hartford came out blowing kisses to the
adoring fans as he joined the rest of his teammates, just
five minutes before the stroke of midnight.
And when the clock did strike 12, the lights came back
on and this year's edition of the Minutemen stotxl togeth-
er as one at center court, hands raiscxl towards the sky.
"It's about UMass basketball." Calipari said of the
evening.
Field hockey perfect
in Atlantic 10 play
By Brion Perilfo
Collegion Staff
The long awaited return home
proved to be just what the
Massachusetts fieki hockey team need-
ed, as it strung together a pair of wins.
1-0 over Providence and 2-0 over
A- 10 rival Rhode Island, this weekend.
The Minutewomen were able to
improve their record to 6- 9 overall
and a perfect 2-0 in league play with
their win over conference foe URI on
Sunday afternoon at Totman Field.
UMass sophomore forward
Courtney MacLean opened up the
scoring with 15:55 left in the first
half. MacLean took a pass from fel-
low sophomore Amy Ott. and had
her initial shot on net blocked by URI
goalie Kelly Gorman. MacLean was
able to find the rebound, however,
and drove it to Gornian's right for
her first goal of the season.
"I took it up strong and saw the
goalie come out of net. I just got it by
her to my left," MacLean said. "It felt
really gtxxJ to score for the team. It
doesn't matter who scores the goals
as long as we do."
UMass' defense was able to pre-
serve the lead, as junior goalie Stacy
Walker posted her second straight
shutout in as many day?.
The Minutewomen later added an
insurance goal when junior midfielder
Kyle Rothenberger blasted a penalty
corner shot through the Rhody
defense for a 2-0 UMass lead. The
cannon shot, which occurred just over
five minutes into the stvond half, was
deficvted by Gorman but still found its
mark in the net. It was Rothenberger's
team-leading sixth goal of the season.
"We are starting to play tough and
consistent." said Massachusetts
coach Megan Donnelly, whose team
has strung together two wins for the
first time this year. "We are not mak-
ing the mistakes that plagued us early
in the season and we are getting the
results that we deserve."
"This team has matured and is
playing well," Rothenberger said.
"We are very confident in ourselves
and each other."
Rhode Island dropped to 7-5 over-
all, 1-2 within the Atlantic 10.
On Saturday, the Minutewomen
hosted Providence on a
rain-drenched Totman Field and
were able to pull out a thrilling 1-0
victory in double overtime.
Freshman Erica Johnston, who is
beginning to make a name for herself
as a big-game scorer, fired the game-
winner past Providence goallender

Suspect pleads guilty to assault
of former University student
By Amy M. Scott
Collegian Staff
A former student got justice f'riday
morning when his attacker pleaded
guilty to unarmed robbery, assault
with a dangerous weapon, as well as
civil rights violations.
To the surprise of the victim. Ivan
C. 'Yim. who graduated from the
University of Massachusetts with an
accounting degree last May. Coiey I
Driscoll changed his plea just before
the session.
Driscoll. 19. of Roxbury. was sen-
tenced to serve two years in the
Hampshire County House of
Correction, to undergo three years of
counseling, and to pay u fine of $50
as well as $435 for Yim_s glasses.
which Driscoll smashed in the
assault.
Yim sustained a broken nose,
bruises and abrasions when
Driscoll attacked him February 4 at
8:45 p.m. by the Campus Center
and Student Union buildings, an
attack that prosecutor Winston
Burt said "appears to be racially
motivated."
According to Burt. Driscoll. who is
not a UMass student, was on his way
to Southwest Residential Area with
two friends when he encountered
Yim. He swore at Yim and knixked
him to the ground with a blow to the
back of the head. He then kicked
Yim six or seven times with a sneak-
ered foot — the dangerous weapon
~ and called him a nigger. Burt
explained.
Earlier that night, Driscoll had to
be restrained to keep him from
assaulting someone who accidental-
ly bumped him when he and his
friends left the bus that brought
them to campus earlier. According
to Burt. Driscoll chose to vent his
anger on Yim. who is originally
from Hong Kong, because he is not
white.
Yim tried to give Driscoll his wal-
let because he thought that was what
Driscoll wanted. Burt added, but
Driscoll demanded that he hand over
his Notre Dame Starter jacket
instead.
With a witness' description, police
were able to find firiscoll in
Southwest a short time later. Driscoll
admitted to an officer that he
attacked Yim, Burt said. One of
Driscoll's friends gave Yim's jacket
to the police.
Yim. who is not black, said he
found DriscoH's calling him a nigger
"ridiculous, ridiculous." Yim
explained he didn't actually hear
Driscoll call him a nigger — a police
officer told him of it later — because
he was too preoccupied by the
assault.
Yim. who now lives in Braintree.
said he is not affected by the racial
slur, nor is his view of America taint-
ed.
"I think that's ridiculous." he said.
"Totally ridiculous. But it already
happened, so there's nothing I can do
about it now."
Yim added that nothing like this
incident had previously happened to
him in his four years in America. He
admitted that he was afraid to walk
through campus at night following
the incident.
"As lime goes by, things get nor-
mal." he remarked. Victor
Gagnon. the lawyer appointed to
Driscoll. said Driscoll had caused
incidents similar to this "foolish,
compulsive act" frequently through
out his leen years. Gagnon cited
attention deficit disorder and a trou-
bled life as key factors in his behav-
ior.
"I feel bad for him." Yim said of
Driscoll. "Bcxause of a stupid act. he
got sentenced. So stupid."
A joint US. House- Senate confer-
ence committee has allocated
$221,000 in funding for the
University of Massachusetts'
Agricultural Management Systems
Center.
The approval of the funding was
announced by Senator Edward M.
Kennedy. D Mass. and
Representative |ohn W Olver.
D- Amherst, who have been instru-
mental in securing the renewed fund-
ing. It will be included in the
Agriculture Appropriatiims Bill for
1446.
The center oversees the
University's Integrated Pest
Management (IPM) program, which
has helped Massachusetts growers
find alternatives to using pesticides.
Center coordinator William Coli
feels lortunate that his program will
receive more funding, thanks in the
efforts of Kennedy and Olver.
"They and their staffs have been
incredibly successful, given the bud
get climate in Washington, to get u-
that money again." Coli said.
Coli attributes this success to the
careful documentation of how the
money was used to gi>od ends.
"We're educating thousands in the
techniques and theories of IPM." Coli
said "We made a commitment to
develop non chemical alteinatives to
crop management and crop pesti-
cides."
Kennedy sighted the program's
accomplishments as the definitive
reason to continue funding.
"This UMass Amherst program is
achieving important breakthroughs
that will make food safer for con-
sumers and protect the environment
from harmful pesticides," Kennedy
said. "With cutting edge scientific
research and extensive involvement
of farmers across the slate, the pro-
gram deserves this vote of confidence
by Congress."
Olver echoed Kennedy's senti-
ment,
"The Massachusetts delegation, led
by Senator Kennedy, worked hard to
maintain funding to help UMass con-
tinue its impressive work." Olver
said. "Every Massachusetts farmer
and every New England family that
enjoys fresh produce and flowers
benefits from the University's nation-
ally acclaimed research of environ-
mentally sound protection of our
valuable crops "
The research and leaching program
has exisicti since I47H It is currently
an undergraduate majui Graduate
students in the entomolugv and plant
pathology departments are doing pro-
jects on IPM as part of their curricu-
lum.
"We have extremely capable scien-
tists." Coli said "Ihe research in ento
nuikigy and plant pathology is interna
tioiially teci'giii/ed in this field."
Mary lane Else, assistant agricul
tutal specialist of the IPM program,
has been researching ways to use
ground covers, or "mulch crops." as a
natural alternative to pesticides.
1 hese covers are crops planted to
suppress weeds and prevent the light
from striking the soil, helping to
decR'ase soil erosion. They are plant
ed tK-tween the rows of crops.
One example of these ground cov-
ers is the clover. Some covers pro
duce nitrogen, a plant nutrient. The
clover takes nitrogen out of the air
and gives i' ' "'" r'u'ls
Else's work also provides an
opportunity lo work with people in
other disciplines, such as those who
deal with soils and insects The con
tinued lunding will aid lurlher
research on more •.•flicienl tech
niques.
"There are still some problems that
need to be worked out." Else said
"lor many years, research has gone
to pesticides Not a lot has been done
on alternatives. I'hat is why Ihe
money they allocated is most appreci-
ated "
Ellse and her colleagues are trying
to find methixls which help farmers
receive maximum profit.
Although Coli and his department
would rather it be lell up to private
laboratories to test pesticides, his col-
lege does conduct experiments io
prove they are safe and lo see
whether the pesticides have an effect
on non target organisms. "We're not
the sort of college to do a lot of pesti-
cide jtcstingl, but some is necessary."

Latino theater begins new season
By Mkltoel ElBolt
Collegian Staff
Using the stage as a means to
enhance social conscience and
encourage social change, the Latino
Theater Project has opened has
opened its doors for yet another sea-
son.
In conjunction with the New
WORLD Theater program since
1988. the project seeks to "explore
ways to reach the Latino community*
at UMass and throughout the Pioneer
Valley, said Project Coordinator
loshua Fontanez.
"Our hope is to build on our
16-year commitment of presenting
and producing Latino theater — pro-
viding opportunity for Latino artists
to represent our vision and our
world, in our own words.' says the
Project's mission statement.
Initially the program aimed at
bringing Spanish-language produc-
tions to local Latino communities,
such as the ones in large numbers in
Holyoke and Springfield.
It provides 'an opportunity for
professional artis's to premiere new
works" amongst audiences who share
a common language, according to an
official Project pamphlet.
Artists from Su Teatro, a national
touring company based in Denver.
Colorado, have worked closely for
years with local artists and activists
in the Pioneer Valley through the
Latino Theater Project.
Since 1971. Su Teatro has been
bringing the performing arts to
Latino and Chicano communities
throughout the nation. Two artists
from this group. Rudy Bustos and
Anthony Garcia, add their collective
talent to the Project this year.
Garcia. Artistic Director for Su
Teatro. will be conducting a work-
shop throughout the fall, which will
conclude with the two performances
of Im Carpa Presents: / T>on't Speak
r.nglish Only, says the Project's pam-
phlet .
march
cootlnoecl from page w
from minarets in the Muslim world,
the meeting had a strong religious
undertone.
"The vision for the Million Man
March came directly from God him-
self," Washington Mayor Marion
Barry told the rally. 'It was God-
inspired."
Yel a tinge of anger was evident.
"The powers here have not wished
us well." the Rev. Robert Smith
called out in a morning sermon.
"They look our wives, took our chil-
dren, enslaved us to the point we
adopted a slave mentality. In spite of
what they've done to us over the
years, we are here today."
"Chicago Police." read one ban-
ner. "Natural Born Killers."
Another, in white, red and green
and stretching 10 feet, carried por-
traits of O.j. Simpson and Mumia
Abu-lamal. the death row inmate in
Philadelphia who has become a ral-
lying figure for people who say he
was railroaded.
There was some petitioning of gov-
ernment, but less than usual. From
Congress. Rep. Kweisi Mfume. D-
Md.. called it "a national tragedy and
a national disgrace that after 20U
years ... racial justice is receding, nut
advancing.'
President Clinton took note of the
rally. In a speech to a university
audience in Austin. Texas, he con-
demned Farrakhan's role without
using his name and called for nation-
al healing.

A DIVISION OF THE MAV DEPARTMENT STORES COMPANY
Bustos. Managing Director of S'u
Teatro. will lend his abilities to the-
ater skill-training workshops for
non-artists, the pamphlet continues.
By 1994. the Latino Theater
Project had expanded, with the urg-
ing of local community groups, such
as Casa Latina in Northampton and
representatives from many
Springfield public schools.
"People have been really happy to
see this kind of thing happen.* said
Fontanez. who was responsible for
meeting with the various groups.
"The project has sparked a lot of the-
ater interest within the Latino com-
munity," he said.
This interest lead to the formation
of four "Capacity Building
Workshops.' coordinated through
the Project.
These workshops bring everyone
from elementary school children, col-
lege students and long-time valley
residents together with Latino artists.
Participants not only learn the fun-
damentals of theater, but also are
exposed to more involved skills, such
as directing and character develop-
ment.
The workshops also discuss meth-
ods of conflict resolution, using short
skits and improvisations to decon-
struct the dynamics of violence —
"group pressure and power relation-
ships." according to Fontiinez.
In addition to the workshops, the
Project is producing a family-orient-
ed play, entitled The Friendly Boat, to
be shown in elementary schools in
Holyoke. Springfield and Amherst.
The show is scheduled to be f)er-
formed six times, beginning on
December 5.
The Return of Margarita, opening
for one night only on Saturday,
December 9 at 8 p.m. in the Bowker
Auditorium, looks at the lives of
Puerto Rican women and features
live music.
Both plays were written by Sarah
Rodriguez, a Puerto Rican actress,
singer and playwrilcr. who. in 1988.
founded Orupo Bridges. A bilingual
musical theater company. Grupo
Bridges focuses on young people and
family through musical theater and
drama.
Night of the Barrio Moon, written
by Garcia, opens in March. 1996.
Portraying its vibrant history and
stuggles. this play is set in the town
of Barrio Moon, located in southern
Cok>rado.
While exciting about these upcom-
ing productions. Fonlinez remains
frustrated by the lack of direct partic-
ipation the project attracts from
UMass students.
"I would really like to see more
involvement." Fontiinez said.
The Latino Theater Project was not
the first of its kind to be active in the
valley. The difference has been
longevity.
"In the past, things like this would
happen and then die away," Fontanez
said.
He remains confident that this pro-
ject will continue into its third decade
of activity, with continued support
from students from within and out-
side the Latino community.
The project is producing three
originals plays this year as well, the
first of which. Tales From the Flat
Colors and Familias. opens next
weekend for two shows; Friday.
October 1} and Saturday. October
14, 8 p.m. at Bowker Auditorium.
Stockbridge Hall.
Students interested in finding more

WORLD Theater office located in the
Hampden Commons. Southwest

Cutting funds holds US back
Is ii possible America's role as leader in much uf ihe
world's research and developmeni could be diminish-
ing before our eyes'.'
The Republicans in Congress, led by Newt Gingrich,
have K-en culling govemmenl funds wherever pttssible as
a means of producing a balanced budgel. Although they
have been successful at that, iheir methods arc very ques-
tionable, especially considering ihe cuts that are being
plannc'd across the "scientific" board. These cuts, harmful
lo virtually every scieniific field can and should not be
made at ihis time.
One of ihe measures which could be taken is the
abitliiion of the Energy and Commerce
Departments, which spend billions of
dollars on research. Much of thai money
is used lo fund research at universities.
In fact, the majority of research done at
universities is funded by the federal gov-
ernment. Civilian scientists are even
worse ofl ihan universities. Thev stand
to lose >0 percent of their funding over
the next lew years. Agencies like NASA
and ihe National Insiiiuies of Health
won't even make il through unscathed.
The Republicans who are doing
the cutting claim "basic science" is not
being touched and what is being cut is
pork. They claim money allocated to
those areas is nothing but "corporate welfare."
Some arc going as far as to suggest the privatization
of ihe space shuttle program. There seems to be some-
thing lundamenlally wrong with pulling any part of our
space program into private hands. It's true the program
costs a lol of money, but lo break it up and distribute il
would be very dangerous. The program would lose virtu-
ally all of its public accouniabiliiv. and a project of the
nature of the space program could very easily be used
against us in ihe future. In the case of the space shuttle,
privatization would be a serious mistake, and it is the gov-
cmmeni's job lo avoid, not encourage, serious mistakes.
Cutting governmental science won't just have
domestic repercussions. Ii could also lessen ihe Uniied
State's' role as a world player. One of the most pressing
scieniific issues of the day involves finding a source of
renewable energy. If The I'nited Slates was lo become the
As the century draws to
a close, the United States
has a chance to assert itself
as a leader of nations and
to reestablish itself as an
economic power, but the
opportunities aren V going
to come b\ themselves.

The need for unity
Chinedu
Ogbuike
Unity is needed among all
races if the world is lo
become a belter place.
However, blacks and other minori-
ties ncvd lo reconcile their own dif-
ferences between one another
before reconciling their differences
with others.
First ol all, unity among minori-
ties will come about if we all com-
municate beller with each other,
lell each other how we feel, and
give each other all ihe support wc
can. Also, when we sec other
minorities out in public we should
at least recognize each other by say-
ing hello and other
good things.
Also, we need,
as minority males,
lo respect and
honor ihe women
because without ihem we would
not be here today. We must love
our women because they arc our
life and blood, and if don'l love
ihem then why should anyone else.
Our women have been in the front
lines for years. Now il is lime for
the men lo stand up and lake
responsibiiily for iheir lives, the
lives of iheir women, and other
brothers and sisters in iheir com-
munilies.
After all. minority males and
females have united with each other
in iheir communities, ihey must all
unik' with each other outside their
communities such in ihe schools,
workplace, public places and
around ihe counirv. This way
nobiKlv is left out. and ihc unity wc
desire continues lo grow.
Unily among all minorities must
come before unily of minorities
with other races. If minorities can
unilc and communicate with each
other, then il will be very easy to
unite and communicate with every-
one else. However, non minorities
must be uniied with each other
before there can be unily among all
races.
Once all minorilies have decided
lo reconcile their differences within
iheir communities, then differences
between ihe races must be recon-
ciled lo have complete unily. If I
cannot communicate
and unite with my own
race, then why should
I Iry lo do unite and
communicate with
other races? My busi-
ness must be handled at home
before dealing with any business
elsewhere. I want there to be unily
among all the races so wc can live
happily.
Unity means logeiherness. If all
of the races stand together and do
all ihal is good, then the world
would be a better place and differ-
ent races would not be at odds with
each other. The problems in the
world started when all of the races
were divided. However, they can be
resolved if we unite again.
lor many years minorities have
been divided among one another
and don'l even realize that because
wc have continued lo divide our-
selves. For example we call our-
selves African-American. Asian.
Cape V'erdean. Utino. Africans and
other lilies, nol knowing we are
causing division.
I am nol saying we should gel rid
of these titles. I am saying we must
recognize what these lilies mean
and how they affect us as minori-
lies. Remember: "Uniied we sland
and divided we fall." Let us stick
logelher because you need me just
as much as I need you. no matter
what color you are.
Unily is the way to go and any-
one, despite their race or ethnic
background or gender striving for
unity is someone I'd like on my
side. We need unily among men.
women and children because we
need each other if we arc lo sur-
vive.
Let us all put aside our differ-
ences and Iry to unite because we
all have an effect on each other. If
we arc divided, there will continue
to be problems concerning race,
gender, socioeconomic status, poli-
tics and economic matters. These
are titles that have divided the races
for many years, and if we continue
lo hold these titles wc will continue
to be divided because people feel
ihey arc carved in stone.
Yet. if wc do decide to keep
these lilies, we should at least try to
keep them from dividing us. We
should, instead, have them unite us
all in some way. The need for unily
is strong. Many people do not think
it is possible, but it is, and il takes
time.

Disillusionments of
the political process
To the Editor:
For years now with growing alarm,
different studies note the growing
estrangement of countless U.S. citi-
zens from the political process. This
mounting cynicism undermines the
very involvement upon which our
system is based — at least in theory.
For lis one wit remarked: if one is dis-
illusioned, he or she first labored
under an illusion. Thus, let us consid-
er if this cynicism is caused in large
part hv laullv views of democracy
itself.
To examine Ihe beliefs of the
Founding Fathers is lo encounter
views such as those of Alexander
Letters to the Editor
Hamilton who wrote, "All communi-
ties divide themselves into the lew
and the many. The first are the rich
and well born ... Give therefore to
Ihe first class a distinct, permanent
share in the govemmenl."
But. we should ask. what of the
rights of the many? Our very histo-
ry books record the acis or policies
of these elites — what one histori-
an called "the papers of Great
While Men." Seldom are we told
that these very policies were fre-
quently demanded by mobilized
throngs who saw the need for
change.
In the words of historian Howard
Zinn. "As a result of omitting, or
downplaying, movements of the peo-
ple in our history, a fundamental
principle of democracy is under-
mined: the principle that it is the citi-
zenry, rather than the govemmenl.
that is the ultimate source of power."
So. if many people have grown
cynical, is it because they have falsely
expected someone else, usually an
elected representative, to improve
their lives? With large corporations
and lobbyists pushing to insure
access to government, isn't it lime the
people organized lo make our voices
heard?
This means making Ihc time lo
become infonned, caring about what
happens locally and nationally and
internationally, and joining with
like-minded others. This is obviously
more demanding Ihan becoming a
cynic or a couch potato. But I see nt)
other way that democracy might yet
be reclaimed.

leader in this field, il could in lum comer most of a Third
World market which will be desperate for such U-chnolo-
gy in the very near future. By nol prc-ssing the issue and
actually cutting research funds, the United Stales is pass-
ing the torch on to someone else lo lead the world in the
coming years.
Other fields which will be affected by the euls are
supercomputers, environmental satellites and solar energy
devekjpment. All are on the cutting cxige of the technolog-
ical woHd. and for the reasons staled above, the Uniied
Slates ought to keep encouraging their expansion. To step
down now is like waving a giant white flag, as if lo say
we arc the losers and are content with others marching
^_^^^^^^^_^_^ ahead of us.
Over the past hundred years,
the Uniied States has been the
world leader in technological
advances, hiaving that title has led
to unparalleled success: industrial-
ly, economically and militarily.
Some, like putting a man on the
moon, have served to inject the
American population with pride
and a sense of social stability.
Others, like the atomic weaponry,
have insured that our American
lives would never be endangered by
loreign invaders.
.As the century draws to a
close, the Uniied States has a chance to assert itself as
a leader of nations and to reestablish itself as an eco-
nomic power, but the opportunities aren't going to
come by themselves. As ihey have in the past, science
and technology will pave ihe way into the future. Any
cuts made in these areas will hit America where it hurts
most.
If Congress wishes to keep America on its feet, it
should slop inflicting on itself these repealed blows.
Instead, il should invest in the idea that slaying ahead
will, in the future, reap more benefits than the few dollars
they're saving today. Yes. the budget will eventually have
to be balanced, but it doesn't have to be done all at once
and it doesn't have to lake away from these particular
programs, many of which have served to make our coun-
try great.

A fortunate misfortune
When my car finally came
to rest. I stepped out and
looked back at what had
just hit me. A damn tree.
Andrew Trodden
This past summer I experienced something that
most \^^ll never have the "luxury" of experiencing.
On the surface, luxury is probably nol the best
word lo describe the experience, but in the end it fits just
fine.
I was merely driving lo work one morning, just cruisin'
along, nol thinking much of anything. All of a sudden I
got the sudden urge, simply out of necessity, lo slam on
my brakes. I began to slide virtually out of control on the
wet road only lo eventually lo have my joyous ride inter-
rupted by an even more uncontrol-
lable event.
When my car finally came to rest.
I stepped out and looked back at
what had just hit me. A damn tree
had landed on me. nol a whole trtx-.
but a branch large enough to be a
tree. I wasn't hurl, nor did my car
receive any serious damage, but it
could have been a lol worse. Plain
and simple. Mother Nature and I
crossed paths that morning, and I still haven't decided
who got the best of who.
You're probably wondering why I call this experience a
luxury. Well it's nol because of how it happened, who il
happened lo. or even that il happened at all. It's because
of why il happened. Granted, il can all be explained away
using simple laws of nature and physics. But I'm going
deeper than that. I think il happened for a reason.
Life is a very fragile thing and sometimes we don't
remember that. That's why every so ofien we need a lit-
tle something lo remind us we're nol invincible, and
that life is a gift with an expiration dale. We are all
eventually going lo die. I'm sure we are all aware of
that, but Ihe realization that life could end at any
minute is one that doesn't course through many of our
minds. I'm nol saying we should all start worrying
abc>ul the end of il all. but we should slay aware of life's
fragility.
Wc need to live each day. each moment, as though il
could be ihe last. Don't wait till tomorrow for something
you could do today, (and I don'l mean studying). I'm talk-
ing about more important things, the ihings that really
matter in life — your family, your friends, yourself, the
ones you love.
Studying never really goes away, but people do. So il
you have something to say to someone or something to do
for someone, say it or do it. don't wail becaus.' you may
never gel the chance. I have finally begun lo .iix'i.Tstand
this now.
I never used lo lell my parents I loved them, not
because I didn't, but because il was too hard to say with-
out falling lo pieces. So now realizing saying it is a lol
more important than just thinking il. I
try to lell my parents I love ihem when-
ever I can. I know ihey do the same (or
me. and that is what really mailers.
I used lo hold everything inside of
me when I was younger. I wouldn't lell
anyone anything. I realized that wasn't
the way to go. and that there was no
escape from all I carried with me and
never saying a word about. The only
way I could ftx-l beller was lo lell peo-
ple how I lell. about them, about myself, about whomev-
er.
Obviously you can get very huH by telling someone
how you feel, but just imagine how bad il would hurl il
you never got ihe chance to lell them, and they never got
lo hear il from you.
Talk about regrets. I'm sick of il. I'm sick of regretling
nol saying somelhing when I should have.
Now back lo ihal word "luxury " Why was this experi
ence such a "luxury'.'" Even though I had a tree fall on me.
somelhing good came from il all. That good is the under-
standing that the tree could have been much bigger and
much heavier and the survival of the car. or more likely
Ihe driver, could have been a diffcreni story completely
So I realize there is so much thai would have been letl
unsaid and undone. I didn'l see II before, but now I do.
Thai's why having a huge branch fall on you while you're
dnving ^5 miles per hour down a wet fx)ad is a luxury.
So basically, don'l wail until a branch falls on you to
lully see ihe importance of some ihings in life. Wc arc all
completely capable of seeing il right now.

Arts & Living
spending a weekend at Cape Cod
H^ .\NNIS. Mass. ~ The Cape was cold and windswept
when we arrived but that fresh sea-smell was hearteningly
reassuring; I was on the very edge of thai great "pond"
that separated me from my native European homeland
and I couldn't help but gaze eastward across the horizon,
wondering what was happening in my own. distant conti-
nent.
A weekend away just three hours from the University of
Massachusetts was exactly what I needed to gel away from
the hustle and bustle of academic life. Midterm exams and
overdue papers were becoming more and more consuming
and I needed an escape from that vortex
ol academic excess which is universitv.
Cape Cod was just the ticket — the main
tounsi season was over and the beaches
wcR' decidedly empty, only the sea gulls
circling above were contenders for my
drifting attention.
We stayed in Hyannis in a
medium-sized motel which was rather
more comtoriable than previous ones I
had stayed in. lealuring such additional luxuries as an
indoor-pool, spa and sauna, (all of which we utilized to
the full after long days of sea-air).
On the Saturday we lixjk a boat-trip from Flyannis and
went whale- watching around the coast. Afler being wamed
II was rather "on Ihe rough side" we braced ourselves for ihe
possibility of a nausea-crazed voyage but luckily il was
somewhat calmer than I had expecied — especially when
compared wiih excursions I had made across more familiar
channels such as the infamous Irish Sea. There. I had all but
ihrvtwTi myself over-board to counter that wonderful phe-
nomenon kno\*Ti as "motion-sickness "
The whales were out in force that day and we were
graced with the presence of nol just ihc Fin-Back bul also
ihe Minke whale loo. We were constantly reminded that
we were witnessing the sight of "the second largest living
thing on this entire planet!!" (the Blue Whale being the
TRAVEL
^^^'^'^^l^icu^»^
first), and the cries of 'Isn't il amazing!!" and "It's so
beautiful!!" were ubiquitous thioughoul the voyage.
What was perhaps the most comical aspect of this lillle
adventure was the method the guide used for letting all on
board know a whale was in sight. If il was straight ahead
she would scream: "Twelve o'clock!! Twelve o'clock!!"
and if it was on the eastern aspect of the boat we would
be met with the sounds of "Three o'clock!!! Three
o'clock!!"
Suffice to say that when such an observation was made
the vessel would all but capsize with ihe heaving masses
rushing from one side of ihe boat lo
the other. The young and the infirm
were unceremoniously thrust aside as
the thrill- seeking tourist lunged
towards the 'ail to capture the mighty
'leviathan" on film.
Typically the boat would stop and
await the ivxl sighting. Often the whale
in question would dive and re surface
about a mile away. This prompted the
captain lo quile liliTally go "full speed ahead" and ihosc that
didn'l grab onto the railing for clear life were in danger o(
being swept ovx-rboard.
Whale-watching had been an experience in more
ways than one and the next day called for a more
leisurely approach. We look a boat lo Martha's
Vineyard - that venerable island which Presidents so
frequenlly indulge The tourist season was ( mercifully i
all bul over so we hadn't any problems with securing
our passage across the waier. Forty minutes later we
were upon the island and exploring the lillle town of
Vineyard Haven.
It was the quintessential sea-side town and one
couldn't help bul think of Mohy Dick when exploring it
Afler stopping in a small cafe for some much needed clam
chowder we headed back along the coast -line relaxing
upon the beach as were awaited the ferry that would lake
us back lo the mainland.

game has been diflereni ever since.
"I think it truly has to be because
she has more confidence and is play-
ing intelligently."
Braunstein, a freshman, played at
No. 3 singles and finished second
overall, losing to Central
Connecticut's Elise Peterson (^2, 6-1
in the finals. Braunstein, who has
been a solid and consistent player
during the season, was not tested
prior to the championship match.
Between adjusting to the indoor
courts and the lighting, as well as the
ease in winning early. Braunstein was
not as effective as she is capable of
being.
"She played what 1 call a cranky'
match, where things weren't going
her way. She didn't look for the
answers on how to beat (Peterson),"
Dixon stated as the reasoning for her
loss.
lunior co-captain Liz Durant took
third place in No. 4 singles, a success
in some people's minds, but not in
Du rant's.
"Liz was disappointed with third.
She expected to do better, to win,
and I believe she could have won."
Dixon said.
Durdnt faced the unenviable task of
playing lulia Renstrom from
Providence College, whom on a good
day is very difficult to beat.
Unfortunately. Durant faced her on
one of those very good days and
Renstrom was just too tough to catch.
"I have to say that lulia Renstrom
played a fantastic tournament," said
Dixon about the eventual winner at
No. 4 singles.
Lana Gorodetskaya, normally a
No. 6 singles player, was promoted to
No. 5 singles for the tournament and
responded by taking home the tro-
phy. Gorodetskaya won No. 5 singles
by beating Providence's Natalie
LeDuc 6-4, 4-6. 6-4, displaying
determination in overcoming a tough
second set.
"She played excellent. I think that
Lana has to be considered the biggest
surprise and who has shown the
biggest improvement," Dixon said.
In the only doubles bracket for the
tournament, sophomore Caroline
Steele and Caron. a freshman,
cruised to the win with a finals victo-
ry over Vermont's pair of Cahira
Castellini and Christine ludge, 6-2.
6-2. Dixon's strategy worked exactly
as she had hoped by combining
Steele and Caron, as they proved
dominant in inatch play.
"They played beautifully and clear-
ly were not challenged throughout
the tournament," she said.
Dixon stressed the fact that it was
a team victory and that no one player
was put under pressure to perform as
necessary. It was obvious to the other
teams arid spectators that UMass was
the class act of the tournament, win-
ning by a large nine-point margin
over Vermont and Central
Connecticut. Surprisingly, defending
champion Providence College fin-
ished in fourth place and never really
contested UMass.
"I think Providence is disheartened
and they are not as physically fit as
other teams," Dixon said. "They are
not hungry to win and that is the dif-
ference."
The Minutewomen, with their
youth and determination, showed
why they are now the champion and
why they will continue to challenge
in the future.
•UMass defeated Connecticut 7-0
yesterday in a make-up game. The
Minutewomen finish the fall season
with an 8-1 record and will next par-
ticipate in the Rolex Championships
beginning Nov. 2.

low scores, but we aren't matching the points we let
up"
UMass opened up the season with a 28-'5 win over
UNH, but they have gone downhill from there. They have
lost five in a row to Holy Cross, Boston University,
Connecticut, Harvard and Brown. With their record al
1-5, the Minutemen are looking to turn things around
against rival Amherst College this weekend Shewack is
making a few changes in his lineup and he is hopeful his
team will rebound from this losing streak, and finish out
the season on a high note.
"Amherst has a good squad, but I expect us to win," he
said. "Believe it or not, but I am starting three freshmen
and this will be their first A-side experience. They are
playing great and they have a lot of spirit. That's why they
•re going in. I really look at the next three games that we
have at getting these young kids some experience. So
when we start back up in the spring, they already have a
few A-side games under their bell."
The UMass Rugby Football Club was established in
1968. It plays matches with other rugby clubs, at the
College and University level, as well as club sides primari-
ly from New England It is a member of the New England
Rugby Football Union and it plays its matches in the fall
and the spring. They compete for the National Collegiate
Championship starting with regional play between New
England schools. Announcements regarding Rugby can be
found on the World Wide Web al
http://www.ecs.umass.edu/rugby/.
This weekend the Minutemen host Amherst at Lower
Boyden Field al 12:50 p.m. The game will be played rain
or shine.

played sparingly this season, scored
three points recording a single and a
two-pointer.
UMass continued their winning
ways against B.C.. beating the Eagles
convincingly. 21-6.
Yarworth was able to give a lot of
bench players time as nine
Minutemen scored in the rout, lunior
Greg Menton, the over-shadowed
cornerstone of this team, netted three
goals and dished oui two assists to
lead the deluge on the Eagles' fresh-
man goalie Marc Santaru.
The Massachusetts defense was
solid throughout ihe three games,
again anchored by goalkeeper Alex
Mujica. The senior, despite being in a
slump, made 17 saves in two games.
Mujica shared time, as usual, with
juniors Paul Engin and leff Lee.
UMass will travel to Claremont,
Calif, for a pair of games against
Chapman and Air Force on Friday.
The Minutemen then play in the
Baldy View Tournament on Saturday
and Sunday to end the regular season.

Minutewomen face off against rival Big Green
By Justin C. Smith
Collegian Staff
II sonu-onc were lo point lo a
thrce-ganic Mrclch which would go
ihc farthol in lemis of dcicrmining
whore the Massachusetts women's
soccer team might be placed in the
post-season, this is the part of the
schedule they would have highlight-
ed.
Last Wednesday's scoreless tie
against lOth ranked Hanford. kicked

Minutewomen play the other three
teams in the Northeast's "Big Four."

before their match-up with No >
ranked dmnccticul Salurddv back at
Carber Field.
Even though of these three lough
opponents, Dartmouth is the only
unranked team, they are not a team
that can be taken lightly at all. The
Big Green handed Hartford a crush-
ing 2 0 defeat and played UConn
tough, failing by a score of 1-0.
'Dartmouth, despite its record
(b— ^1). is one of the best teams in
the region." Massachusetts coach |im
Rudy said. "Our last three games
jagainst DartniouthI have been a
one- goal lucky win. then a 0-0 tie
up there. Last year they beat us hea-
1-0 in the last five minutes when
they outplayed us.
"Consistently, they have been the
best opponent that we have faced
over the past three years. Therefore
Rachel LeDuc continues to lead the Minutewomen in points (26) with
10 goals and six assists.
we're scared. There is no way we can
take this game lightly. This is their
Waterloo."
"They are a really solid team,"
senior defender and co- captain
Nikki Ahrenholz said of the match,
"it's just a big New England game
and we're looking to come out of it
with a win."
The past L'Mass-Dartmouth meet-
ings, plus the colossal win over
Hartford would put a scare in just
about any team, but they have a cou-
ple of defeats that do not reflect the
strong side that they send out on the
pitch. Losses to Brown and Boston
College within the last nine days
show a .squad that it might just play
lo the level of competition that
opposes them on a particular day.
It would behoove the
Minutewomen to get on top of
Dartmouth early as when the Big

"I Melissa I Macbean on the counter

goal to beat us (last year], great indi-
vidual moves with power."
"We are going to go out and play
lour game]." Ahrenholz said of how
they plan to play the Big Gnx-n fron-
trunners. "We know what they have,
but we feel our system can deal vMlh
it."
The UMass defense which has
allowed only seven goals all season, is
also the starting point for the
Minutewomen attack. The unit
comes off of the biggest lest so far
this season. Their coach looks for
them to get back to the style that has
been getting them prime scoring
opportunities during the last two
weeks.
"What we want to do is get back

get into our smooth mode and knock
the ball around, getting people for-

Women's tennis takes NE Title
By Joy Warner
Collegian Staff
IMVMION SMITH ; COllfCIAN
The UMass women's tennis team had an outstanding weekend as they captured the New
England Championship. Yesterday, the Minutewomen beat rival UConn 7-0.
With memories of last year's second place finish and
remembering the goals it established to begin the season,
the Massachusetts women's tennis team traveled lo
Burlington, Vt. this past weekend in search of the New
England Championship.
Putting together the team's vast array of talent, the
Minutewomen lefl little doubt of whom was the strongest
team in the toumamenl as they bought the title home.
In speaking with the team's head coach )udy Dixon, it
was clear lo sec that she felt her squad, as a whole, was
the reason for their victory.
"I think all of them won this trophy. They all had a
hand in doing this. They won New England's as a team."
Dixon said, adding that she was pleased her team had
accomplished the first of their goals.
Throughout the season the biggest question concerning
the strength of the team was its maturity level. Returning
only two upperclassmen, but plenty of talent, the lack of
experience on this young squad was a major factor in
determining its outlook. With hopes of putting their crit-
ics lo rest, the Minutewomen proved this weekend that
lack of experience is a thing of the past.
"It is the growth of this team, along with the addition
of these two kids jlackie Braunstcin and Marie-Christine
Caronj, that make the difference," Dixon said. "We are
now a team that has the ability lo execute and come back
with results."
Senior co-capiain LiesI Sitton was one of three first
place finishes for the Minutewomen, as she defended her
No. I singles title by defeating Hartford freshman Sara
Diers. 2-6. 6-2. 7-6 (2). Sitton showed her experience
and poise as she came back from one set down, facing
match point in the third set.
Dixon was hesitant in saying Sitton played to the best
of her abilities, but was convinced that she showed her
veteran ability as the match progressed.
"She found a way to win even though she didn't play
well. For that, she has to be given a lot of credit," Dixon
said. "She won because of her determination not to lose
and she had to figure out a way to do it. It came down lo
a senior versus a freshman."
Although everybody played an important role in the
win. Dixon felt sophomore Noelle Orsini was the spark-
plug of the teain. Orsini struggled as the sea.son begail
but has gradually improved her gairie. getting back to the
level of play she is capable of. She showed the improve-
ment in her play by defeating an opponent she had been
beaten by caHier in the year. Orsini finished the tourna-
ment at No. 2 singles with a third place showing, but it
certainly does not refiect the inspiration she provided for
her teammates. ,
"She started the toumamenl for us on the right fool by
defeating a lough first-round draw, which created enthu-
siasm among the rest of the team." Dixon said. "Since the
Army match, she has turned her season around and her
Water polo wins three,
undefeated in EWPA
By Fred Hurlbrink, Jr.
Collegion Staff
In a prime-time prelude to
Midnight Madness, the Massachusetts
men's water polo team tamed the
Bears of Brown University Saturday
night to lock up an undefeated regu-
lar season in the Eastern Water Polo
Association North Division.
The Minutemen (19-2 overall. 9-0
EWPA) started off slow against a
surging Brown squad but hung on lo
win a 10-9 decision, after easily
defeating Boston College and M.I.T.
"We took a lew steps back this
weekend." UMass coach Russ
Yarworth said. "The good sign is
that we found a way to win the
I Brown I match."
Massachusetts overcame Brown
with a strong defensive effort in the
second and third quarters, and
another brilliant offensive game
from freshman Brian Stahl. The
club's leading scorer with 95
points, Stahl tallied five points with
three goals and a two-pointer.
Senior co-captain Luis. Limardo.
having a spectacular season in his
own right (69 goals, 22 assists),
scored a pair of goals and recorded
two assists in the maich.
Luis' brother, sophomore I.C.
Limardo, missed the tournament
with a broken thumb.
"We missed having him MC.) in
ihe water. He brings a lot lo this
team." Yarworth said. "He's a very
strong defender and a good shooter."
The younger Limardo is expected
to play when the Minutemen travel to
California to finish the regular season.
UMass didn't break a .sweat in their
other two matches, beating up on two
weak programs, B.C. and M.I.T.
In the first match, the Minutemen
jumped out to a 9-0 first quarter lead
on their way to a 20-4 drubbing of
the lowly Engineers.
Limardo led 10 Minuteman scorers
in the game with five goals. Slahl
scored Iwice and handed out three
assists while three others tallied two

Men's rugby loses fifth
straight, falls to Brown
By Jameson Heos
Collegian Staff
Turn to TENNIS, page 7
L
Heading into their match with
Brown University last Saturday, the
Massachusetts men's rugby leatn was
expecting a lough match. Brown hud
scored over 70 points in its last two
games, while UMass had been stalled
in a four-game losing streak, where
its offense has struggled lo score
points all season.
A 52-0 loss might not have been
expected, but it was not surprising
either. With 13 of its 15 starters
brand new to A- side action, lack of
experience has been one of the
Minutemen's problems all year.
UMass coach Rich Shewack feels thai
this a rebuilding year and Ihe only
factor to help his team is lo keep
playing.
"We arc getting killed with penal-
lies because (the younger players)
don't know the rules," he said. "It is
hard for someone to learn the game
until they start playing it. It's not like
American football, where you've
known how to play since you were
little. jTheyl can only learn the rules
by gaining experience through play-
ing and since we have so many new
guys, it's going lo be rough.
"The fact that we held Brown to 52
points is pretty good because Brown
had scored over 70 points in its last
two games, so they arc obviously a
force to reckon with. The problem is
the fact that we arc not scoring
points, and that is why our record
rcfiects what it is. For the most part,
we have been holding teams to very

March makes memories for students
By Chris Connar
Collegian Staff
mHIS k ift^uii
The Li/ana brothers Al (partially blocked by a Nation of Islam member) and Dan were among the UMass students listening
intently to speakers at the Million Man March.
WASHINGTON. DC — At 5: JO am . the University
of Massachusetts delegates to the Million Man March
rose from tfieir cramped pi>sitions in the three bu,ses in
which they had traveled, and stepped out into the chilly
October air
Hundreds of miles and over nine hours had passed
since the 1 50 black students, faculty and administrators
had left the final trip registration and sendoff by their
sisters at the Malcolm X Center in Southwest
Residential Area, marched and clapped their way across
campus and Kiarded the vehicles for the restless jour-
ney.
Now, these black men found themselves in middle of
the parking lot of Robert F. Kennedy Memorial
Stadium, freezing, awaiting instruction from Black
Student Union president Dan Lizana. around whom
they had surrounded eagerly
The words from I.i7.ana were simple — the marchers
were lo try lo stay with one of the chapcrones, return to
RFTC by 5 p.m. and prepare for a 6 p.m. departure back
to Amherst
By 5:45 a.m., the UMass delegation was on the move.
"I feel good"
Althiiugh shuttle buses were available, fare prices to
the Capitol district were tiH> high for many, who opted
instead to trek by fo«)t to the site of the march.

LSA Tddiiv estimated 400.000 black men in alien
dance, hut to those who were at the Milliim Man March,
that figure was a gtoss understatement.
Acciirding to march organizers, some two million
black men gathered in front of the nation's capitol on
Oct. 16 to reconcile their differences and alone for over
440 years of oppressitm in America The nationwide
match made history that day. despite the negative pub-
licity and controversy surrounding its chief organizer.
Minister Louis Larrakhan of the Nation of Islam.
The march, however, was bigger than Farrakhan and
included other religious and political leaders, who
helped organize the event. Among the must dynamic
were the Rev. lesse Jackson. Dr. Benjamin Chavis. Rev.
Al Sharpton and Rev Robert Smith of Detroit, who was
one of the first speakers to address the crowd.
"We are here"
Smith acknowledged America's unjust treatment of
Blacks in the past and the new determination of blacks
today to end future injustices.
"In spile of how they have treated us. we are here." he
said. "In spite of all the injustices, we are here, liven
though they don't want us here, we are here. . . black
men. . . detemiined."
Chavis. who worked closely with Farrakhan in orga-
nizing the march, also spoke of the significance of the
march and the importance of unity in black America.
"We must stand on this day like we have never stc«)d
before in the history of this country," said Chavis.

Chavis also made a statement concerning the negative
press surrounding Farrakhan and his relationship with
the Muslim leader
"jF-venj as a Christian minister. I intend to siund with
Minister Farrakhan all the days of my life." said Chavis.
Later in his speech, he started a cheer that would con
tinue to arise throughout the day — "Long live the spirit
of the Million Man March."
The f"» C p«^>lice. who were needed for little more than
controlling traffic, continued to bliKk of streets as the
number of incoming participants surpassed expected llg
ures.
"When we leave this evening, we're licit leaving having
had just a rally." said Sharpton who was adamant about
post-march actions "We're going home Ui do some

inspiration.
"In the spirit of atonement, we pray to Ctid lo forgive
us of our sins and the ftK)lishness of our ways," (ackson

Yet lackson would not give a sermon that day He
wanted it to be understood that the role of the black
man in America must change, and that these men must
bring about change in their communities.

"riiere are so many people here,

black men embarked on the first leg
of the march from the bus termi

through the desolate streets of sleep-

whom were mounted on motorcy-

hovering overhead.
The marchers consisted of many

young college and high schiH)l stu-
dents. Muslims from various denomi
nations, and even little children came
lo participate in the historic event.
The words of the Muslim chant.
"Allah U Akbar," could be heard
being played loudly by unseen
speakers Many black men were car-
rying signs that seemed to convey
the message behind the Million Man
March. Signs like. "Blacks Can Make
A Difference" and "Unity is Power"
were just two of the myriad of mes-
sages on display that day.
Reporters from NBC, CNN and
l-ox were on the scene early, vying
for sound bites
As the day got brighter, more and
more buses full of marchers arrived.
Black men from all across America
came to take part in one of the
biggest black movements in history.

"There need to be more call boxes,

Vietnam, a country grappling with it's war torn
past and unknown future, was addressed by Ngo
Vinh Long al the University of Massachusetts
Thursday night in a speech entitled "Vietnam
Today: the Legacies of War and Responses to a
Changing World."
A professor at the University of Maine. Long has
been on leave since 1993 to
serve as co director of Ihe
non- governmental Vietnam
Social Research Center in
Hanoi.
A native of the country.
Long left Vietnam and immi-
grated to the U.S. in 1964,
reaching American shores on
Columbus Day.
He would not return lo
Vietnam until 1979 al Ihe invi-
tation of Ihe government to
assist the divided nation with
the complicated process of
reunification.
Long, citing numerous historical and cultural
differences between the northern and southern
portions of the country, insisted that any steps
taken towards a unified Vietnam should be taken
slowly.
Travelling throughout the country. Long was
concerned that the government's agricultural
re-distribution program, which collectivized land
for cotnmon use among farmers, was hurting peas-
ant populations
Now. capitalism and
materialism are the
new gods. Some of
these people, you can 't
even talk to them. It 's
just money, money,
money.
'I told them that the collectivization was not
working." Long said. "They should have scuttled
the whole program."
Although the concept was not foreign in the
north, southern populations found the adjust-
ment that the government demanded extremely
burdensome. Communal living, according to
Long, had never been the tradition in this
region.
While the government focussed on plans for the
future. Long brought its attention right back to the
war. citing the estimated five
million pieces of unexploded
ammunition hidden amongst
the country-side.
In 1979. Long said.
"Something exploded in some-
one's face everyday."
Since his initial trip. Long
has repeatedly travelled to
Vietnam, most recently in July,
the same day that U.S.
Secretary of Slate Warren
Christopher arrived in Hanoi to
officially normalize relations
between the two former ene-
mies.
Vietnam is in the midst of a economic transition
liiwards a free-market system, hoping to reproduce
the recent success of their neighbor. South east
Asian states, such as Thailand and Hong Kong.
Long is ci>ncemed that this new obsession with
wealth may distract Vietnam from concentrating
on refomi and democracy,
"Now. capitalism and materialism are the new
gixis. Some of these people, you can't even talk to
them. It's just money, money, money." Long said.
This attitude, he says, accounts for the countries
lack of adequate and abundant health and educa-
tional services.
Long criticized recent government actions
towards the creation of a free market in Vietnam,
suggesting that this change is occurring al a rale
which is unhealthy for the country.
Without a stable middle class. Vietnam has had
difficulties in creating the necessary internal mar-
ket which would make a free market system sus-
tainable within the country. To cumpensute. the
government has instituted what Long refers to as
"bureaucratic capitalism."
The result. Ixmg said, has been a economic sys-
tem controlled by the bloated government bureau-
cracy and wealthy plantation owners, who have
been land-grabbing as more and more "people
plunge into poverty "
Vietnam is counting on its vast rice crops as a
means for development, becoming the third largest
exporter in the world.
Most of the rice is shipped to China at very low
prices, making a profit fro those already in posses-
sion of large tracts of land, bul very detrimental lo
the majority of the population.
Despite his criticisms. Long remains optimistic
about the future of his country.
"The question is what kind of life do you want
your people lo have." Long said He advocates a
cautious approach to development, one that
emphasizes the talents of the people of Vietnam,
rather than playing a obsessive game of "catch up"
with their neighbors
Sponsored by the Five-College Program in Peace
and WoHd Security Studies (PAWSS). this discus-
sion was part of a year long focus on Vietnam in
commemoration of the 20th anniversary since
secession of fighting in the country.

march
continued from page 1
of Quaye when the Capitol building
becomes visible over the horizon,
Lizana. whose brother AI. a 1995
UMass graduate and former Student
Trustee, accompanied the Springfield
group of supporters, said he was
already thinking of the progress to be
made upon the delegation's return to
campus.
"I can"i wait for everything to
begin when we get back." he said.
"Seeing all those buses filled with
brothers who want positive change
was very uplifting. I feel good about
bringing in three buses from
UMass."
Walking past the driveway
entrance to the Capitol. Lizana sud-
denly paused at the sight of a tall,
light-skinned black man standing at
the ajar back passenger side door of a
red Lexus. It is Dr. Benjamin Chavis.
one of the primary organizers of the
march.
Lizana greeted Chavis, who
politely returned the gesture before
climbing into the automobile to use
the cellular telephone inside. For
the rest of the way to the Capitol
lawn. Lizana is smiling from ear to
ear.
It was still dark when Lizana and
the rest of the UMass marchers
reached the lawn, but the silhouettes
of thousands and speaker-amplified
African percussion could already be
discerned. Silky '70s soul followed
the drumming, and then the
Godfather of Soul took over at 6:45
a.m.
Still growing, the crowd was
brought to life upon hearing the
opening riff to lames Brown's "I
Feel Good." Among those either
singing or dancing was UMass main-
tenance employee Armando
Hernandez.
"I think it's great to see a rainbow
of brothers here." he said. "It's some-
thing when peaceful brothers come
from all over the globe. You can feel
the electricity."
At the age of 44, Hernandez said
he is new to activism, despite having
witnessed the Civil Rights movement.
"I missed this in the 'bOs," he
said. "I was young. But I remember
seeing it on TV, hearing it on the
radio."
Faces could soon be distinguished
as the sun completed its rise, also
revealing more men arriving on all
sides of the Capitol.
"Mike check, one, two," a voice
said over the .speakers at 7:05 a.m.,
signalling the start of the day to
One million men
AI Lizana, one of UMass' most
outspoken leaders during his time at
the University, was surprisingly
almost at a loss for words when the
announcement was made at lU a.m.
that one million black men were in
attendance at the march.
"Incredible," he said, shaking his
head. 'America will never be the
same. Never."
His brother Dan was equally
awestruck by the magnitude of the
experience.
"This is history in the making.' he
said. "Feels good, don't it."
First-year student Luis Quirama
said he was glad the figure stood as
such for reasons other than its histor-
ical, social and political ramifica-
tions.
"There were a lot of media people
saying only a quarter- million people
would come." he said. "But this has
proved them wrong. There were a lot
of media trying to downplay the
whole march."
A Columbian native who moved to
New York at the age of four, and
attended four years of boarding
school at Milton Hershey School in
Hershey. Pa., the world citizen
Quirama said his participation in the
event was still an experience unto
'itself.
"I've seen a k)t. I've traveled a lot."
he said. "But it is still overwhelming
to see this many people. I'm glad to
be a part of it."
Quirama also expressed his desire
to see genuine progress made from
the hours of positive messages the
black men would receive that day.
"I hope this isn't in vain." he said.
"I hope this will make improvements.
Something needs to be done in this
country, in these cities, in our minori-
ties so that we're not having to be
fed. but arc feeding ourselves."
The march and beyond
Vice-chancellor for Campus
Activities M. Ricardo Townes siuud
amongst several other UMass stu-
dents in the crowd, one bud of his
Walkman in his left ear. the other
tucked behind his right earlobe.
Simultaneously he was listening to
both a talk show, on which the topic
of the day was the march, and the
live speakers themselves.
"This is massive, this is huge" he
said. "The key thing here is that
everybody is in a positive head, a pos-
itive mind. People are polite, people
driving by honk horns in support and
I even saw a woman drive by and
give us a thumbs up."
Senior David Nunez said the sheer
numbers in attendance would be a
refutal by black Americans of the
preconceived disapproval of
Farrakhan by many.
"This is going to send a real strong
message to white America." he said.
"It's going to send a real strong mes-
sage to people who try to pick our
leaders. It's going to break a lot of
stereotypes."
Second-year MBA student Willie
Vick said he was focused on what he
could bring back to his fellow UMass
students, particularly those who have
not reached the graduate level, now
an important factor in job competi-
tion.
"I want to get all undergraduate
brothers and sisters focused on goals,
future goals." he said. "And to fur
thcr their education after gradua-
tion."
Perhaps the most awe-inspiring
and spiritual part of the day arrived
when, upon request from a Nation
of Islam minister onstage, the
marchers each passed a donation of
a dollar through the crowd, deposit-
ing the cash into boxes circulated
throughout the mass of bill-waving
arms.
"I have never seen anything like
this in my life." Nufiez said. "The
trust shown between the men. that
was the point."
AI Lizana agreed that the faith
exhibited by the estimated
million-plus men was extraordinary.
"A million black men trusting each
other with money." he said. "I saw
some tens and twenties. What's more
impurlanl is that Farrakhan trusted
them."
As a wave of green drilled above
his head, it was Rex Quaye who may
have best summarized the impact the
Million Man March might have on
black America.
"The wicket is lit." he said.

he never woke up.
Crane quickly moved from one
painful story to the next, covering
topics from drug and alcohol abuse
to date rape. He shared statistics
compiled from a Columbia
University study on substance
abuse revealing that every hazing
incident and every recorded date
rape occurred only when there was
alcohol related.
"It's not that Greeks are bad
people, but they do not understand
the effects of alcohol," Crane said.
"The message sent to the general
public, however, is ihut Irutcrnilics
and sororities have no place on our
college campus if innocent people
can be killed."
An incident at one Greek house
on any campus scars all Greek
houses on all campuses, he said. In
addition, according to Crane,
movies like "Animal House" don't
help either.
"The truth is that if students
lived like those depicted in the
movie 'Animal House.' |ohn
Belushi's character would have
died," he said.
ludgc Crane urged members nf
the Greek ,\icj to ihink about
what their rituals meant and the
love out of which they grew.
lay Bragg, a brother at Sigma Phi
Fpsilon. said that he hopes Crane
will make people aware of the real
issues.
'The Greek area's reputation
suffers because of all of the nega-
tive publicity it receives," he said.
"But these accidents can happen in
any chapter, or any organization
anywhere B> addressing these
issues I hope we can set a positive
example for the entire campus to

Filman said Riot Grrrls had been referred to the police

At the University of Massachusetts, Riot Grrrls is a

"We're not concentrating on reproductive rights this
year," Filmore explained. Instead, they are concentrating
on safety, starting with call boxes and improved lighting.
Groups of women across the nation have taken the
name "Riot Girls" over the last couple year>. according to
Filmore who describes them as an "in-your-face feminist
group."
"Riot Grrrls is a place where any woman can come and
say 'I want to do this project' and find several women
willing to help." I ilniore said
For example, when a woman in the group said she was
upset about the new adult entertainment store on Route
9. Filmore told her thai although s<.>nie of the Riot Cirrrls
may not have a pixiblem with pornography, others would
support whaievei she wanted to do.

Farrakhan's presence would mean, especially since he
isn't in the favor of the "while media."
"This is a problem that many people wrestled with." she
said. "But this march is bigger than Farrakhan. This
march has been in planning for a year and a half. It's
about the people."
Andre Satchel, a student at Santa Monica College, in
Los Angeles, explained his reasons for coming.
"I came to see what it was all about, and because of
.self- interest." he said. "It was a good reason to gel out of
L.A. for a while."
Satchel also said that the march would make him "lean
iix)re towards ihe Muslim religion "
"My uncle is a minister, so I heard about it through
him." he said "It made me liH>k at blacks differently. I
just hope thai blacks learn from this and siav molival-
ed."
|as«.>n. a high schiKil student from Ramapo High School
in New York, said ihiil he fell overwhelmed by the enlirc
feeling of the Million Man March.
"Il's just beaulilul.' he said "It's inspired nie and
openixl up new giwls lor me. It Icvis grval lo k- able to
look back and know that I was a pari of something bigger
than myself."

continued from page I
"Why do we march?" he asked.
"Because we're trapped in second
class schools and first class jails. . .
The oppressed must change their
minds. The oppressed must stand
up. Tell 'em I have a light and I will
let it shine. Tell 'em I have a dream
and it's bigger than my ghetto. Tell
'em I see power in unity and coali-
tion. Il's a new day and we have a
new moral power."
As with most Jackson's speeches,
he concluded with his trademark
'Keep hope alive," which echoed
throughout the crowd at the end,
signaling the approval of the
Reverend's participation despite
rumors indicating that lackson was
"lukewarm" about the march at
first .
Minister Louis Farrakhan finally
addressed a sea of some estimated
two million people, after lackson and
a few other speakers. Farrakhan
spoke for neariy three hours, calling
for the unification of Black men and
women in order to create positive
change in the households of Black
America.
He also addressed the need for
America lo rid itself of the mentality
of white supremacy and the inferiori-
ty of the Block race.
At the end of his speech,
Farrakhan had everyone take a
pledge He asked that all black men
slop the illegal use of drugs,
promise lo love and respect the
black woman (which included not
using 'the B word" to describe
them), as well as pulling forth a
strong effort to better themselves
and their communities, among other
thin|i.

Si'inctime* people make me angry.
.Sometime* people do things that blacken my
Mew ol the lulure and give me an oppressive
*eM*e ot hopelessness, fear, and helple*sness. Sometimes
people pull the rug of morality, which I had stood llrmly
upon as thitugh it were concrete, right out fri>tn under
me.
O.K. Now that I've thoroughly depressed you. let me
relate the chain of event* which has led me lo this less
than optimi*tic view of human nature.
Imagine this:
^ i>ur family owns a small, vegetable farm in a small
town >our father, your mother, your brothers and *isters.
and you work your bull* off to keep the fami alive It is not
an ea*y way to make a living and you cer-
tainly aren't making million* doing it. but it
has II* icw.ird* and you consider it one of
the olde*i and mo*t honorable ways of life.
fanning bring* a load of worries to your
door: the weather, insects, diseases, short-
age and *urplu*. regulations, taxes. But through all the
problem* and pressures, you believe as long as you all
continue lo work hard, you will eventually overcome any
hurdle* laid before you.
Your value*, your moral* and principles have told you
ihi* i* true. Good will conquer evil. The hone*t. hard-
working, determined person will have the strength lo
endure hardship until he or she ha* beaten it.
Right now I probably *ound like I'm describing the
Pilgrim* at the fir*l Thanksgiving or the settler* in their
covered wagon*, but lo a farm family and many other
lamilie* of high integrity. lhe*e value* and beliefs are still
alive and strong.
On ckiser inspection, however, life is not as great or as
lair aj this the meek shall inherit the -earth altitude may
lead us to believe. We come to find ihe*e ideal* are not
univer*al and may not even be all that common anymore.
You may think, for in*tance. on your larm in your sub-
urb, you earn a respectable living and that your neighbors
respect the fact you are earning a respecuible living. You
may think that because they live so close to you and see
your family working so hard, they would never ever think
of doing anything unneighb<iHy or immoral or hurtful lo
your family.
You giew up with the idea that the word "neighbor"
de*cribed the concept of peaceable, friendly, trusting.
respectful ciH.-\i*lence. A neighbor was a giKKl thing to have.
Now. suppose you discover that someone has been
stealing vegetables from your fields At first, you think its
just your neighbor's kid* Oh. they re young Their par-
ents will leach them *tealing is wrimg. They're really not
hurting any biKly *eriou*ly
The *tealing continues and you start to get a little
unea*y Why would a couple of kid* *teal so may vegeta-
ble*'' Most kid* don't even likr vegetables. What are they
doing with them''
Twenty pound* of tomaioe* taken from a box ic-mporar-
ily left out in the fields llnimin . something's not quite
right here.
^ou come lo the conclusion these are not children steal-
ing all this fiKKJ. One of those supposedly honest, caring,
respectful neighbors, a should be morally mature adult
with honor and a common sense of decen-
cy, is in truth a thief.
Then, one day. you catch the crooks
red handed, ^'ou interrupt iheir hurtful
bc-lrayal of your neighbiirly trust and they try
to run away into the woods. In their panic,
however, they scalier and stumble in different directions
and socin realize they cannot escape their inevitable con-
frontation with the victims of their crime.
■^ou listen u> them deny their guill even as they are
holding bags filled with stolen vegetables.
Twii adults and a child. If the neighbor's disrespectful
Clime, breach of trust, and insultingly idiotic denials were
not enough lo anger and disgust you. then surely the fact
he brought his .so;; along with him will. What a lesson to
learn from your lather! What chance does the boy have
with a role model like that:"
Lowlife. scum, maggot — oh. it makes me so mad!
Where is our honor'.' Where is our respect for one
another'.' What a moral creature man has turned out to
be! I feel sjck to my stomach when I think about how long
man ha* been around, supposedly advancing toward the
ideal, the gt)od Have we really made any progress at all?
Can we really claim moral superiority over our ancestors
whom we sometimes consider barbaric and ignorant? I don't
think so. Tliere is just as much gixid and evil in the world as
there was centuries ago. Perhaps the snuggle is truly eternal.
Perhaps good was never meant to gain any ground, but is for-
evei diKiined lo walk up the down escalator.
However, something optimistic inside me still tells me
if we work hard enough, we will triumph over our own
weaknesses; we will progress. I prefer hope to despair.
But sometimes people make me angi^.
Mcule Cournoyer is a Collegian columnist.
Our government is full
of people who benefit
from the profits made
lives in many ways. Most legislative fty multinational COrpO-
decisions in this country are made to '.,_,, '
benefit large corporations following rUtlOnS. They mUY OWN
the logic that the goods and services .-/.,../. (jrrcnf r/jmn/iiarf
our society needs, such as education *'"<-^- "tCt/Jf Campaign
and social programs, health care. COntributioHS, Or haVC
housing, food production, transpurta- f ' J II'
tion and information, can be provided jl'tt^nuS aUU relUtl
for our consumption by private indus-
tries.
The problem arises, as many of us
realize, that if you cannot afford what
you need, you are lefi out in the cold.
This system of market distribution of
life's essentials only works for those who can afford it
For example, in some countries, the taxes paid by citizens
are used to provide national health care for everyone, but
in the United States health care is provided by private
companies whose motivation is making money Those
who cannot afford it suffer.
Multinational corporations affect every aspect of our
lives, but they also affect people around the world. What
countries the US invades or supports has everything to
do with the interests of multinational corporations
Simply put, because of corporate influence on our foreign
policy, the U.S. supports governments that allow corpora
lions to set up production in their country and ( I ) emplov
local workers at wages far below those demanded by
American workers. (2) conduct business virtually free of
environmental and safety regulations, and ('51 extract
resources without returning anything lo the community.
These transnational practices result in severe oppres
sion of foreign workers as well as the loss of jobs in this
country. But what if a foreign government refuses to allow
the US to take advantage of them? Mere is just one
example: In Chile during the I970's. three U.S. owned
eopper companies who were conducting business, as
described above, were taken over by executive order bv
President Salvador Allende in order to reallocate their
profits for the benefit of the poor population.
Almost immediately, a military coup (influenced bv the
CIA) iiverthrew Allende and returned the compame* u
.American hands The new government, supported bv the
U.S. economically and militarily, dissolved congress, can
celed the free press and hunted down labor and communi
ty organizers to be tortured and killed as "subversive* "
The situation was similar in Brazil in the 1460's. as well
as in Nicaragua. LI Salvador. Korea. Guatemala. Grenada
Panama, recently Haiti and manv
^^^^"^^^■^ other countries.
These military situations weie
treated by the media (which are pre
dominantly owned and operated h\
multinational corporations) as >.old
war victories which free oppressed
people and provide them with Irec
market enterprise and democracv
What the media have an interest in
not telling us is U.S. military preseni.e
insures companies like Rcvbok. Giill
and Western and United Fruit C.'
can drain resources, exploit che.ip
labor and lay waste lo the environ
mem. while demcKracy is nowhere ic
K- found.
Our governmeni is full of people
who benefit from the profits made h\
multinational corporations. They may
own stock, accept campaign contribu
lions, or have friend* and relatives on the bv)ards of dire,
tors. They then enact policies that allow private corpora
tions to make money for them. The politician-
(Democrats and Republicans alike) who are supposed w
represent i.ur interests, are power hungry, money driven
frauds whose only concern is to protect their investment-
while we suffer.
One reason we do not hear these issues very often i*
that the corporations involved in these atrtKities control
most of our sources of infomiation. All of the major news
papers, radio stations and television networks are owned
by large corporations. We should be aware, when we
watch the news or read the paper, we are hearing a ver
sion approved by corporate enterprise.
We live in a coiporate culture, and we are constantiv
boiTibarded with corporate messages through advertisin;;
and the media about how we should live. These message*
aren I iniendc-d to improve our lives, but to make monev
lor someone else. We must learn lo analyze what we are
hearing and what the motivations of the sources are in
swaymg us one way or the other. Only through popular
examination, cnlique and debate of all issues can denuv
racy truly be realized.

Protestor deserves more
attention
To the Editor:
This is in regards to Matt Vautour's commentary in
"Notes from the basement" on Oct. 6. I find it interest-
ing that Mr. Vautour stuffed the majority of his column
with bland discourse (on the oh so-blisleringly imme-
diate topics of 0.|. and pizza) while relegating his sim
plistic synopsis of protest effectiveness to the last few
lines. I believe that local environmental activism
deserves more than an afterthought. I realize that the
column was editorial in nature, and thereby not subject
to the guidelines of objectivity, but I feel that Mr
Vautour's description of the masked man's action was
incredibly inaccurate: it bypassed the realm of bias and
slid into fiction.
Did Mr. Vautour catch more than a minute's worth of
sound bytes, or did he flick his brain's remote control
buttons prematurely? Did he actively search within him-
self for a personal connection to the "buffoonery" he
saw. or did he walk away resenting the lack of free hand-
outs and cheap, prefab answers? Does the only obliga-
tion in communication belong to the one who broad-
casts? Is the person on the receiving end at all responsi-
ble?
Bob Dylan once asked. "How many cars must one man
have before he can hear people cry?" I want to know how
many more ears Mr. Vautour needs. I was deeply affected
by the "crazy guy screaming". I got his message. I heard
that I am not alone in my anger, frustration and pain. I
drew strength from his willingness lo show his fear and
use his courage, honesty and candor. I reaffirmed my
commitment to affect change and help create unity,
health, and peace for all peoples, creatures and places of
this biosphere. Those were not small feats for me to
accomplish, considering the fact that the catalyst for mv
reaction was. according to Mr. Vautour. "an example ol
how not to protest."

challenges it poses for us;
concerned about increasing racism
and the continuing commitment to
while supremacy in this country;
deteriorating social conditions, degra-
dation of the environment and the
impact of these on our community,
the larger society and the world:
conuniited to the ongoing struggle
for a liee and empowered communi-
ty, a just st)ciety and a better world;
recognizing that the country and
government have made a dangerous
and regressive turn to the right and
are producing policies with negative
impact on people of color, the poor
and the vulnerable:
realizing that every man and
woman and our community have both
the right and responsibility to resist
evil and contribute meaningfully lo
the creation of a just and giKxl society;
reafTirming the best values of our
s<Kial justice tradition which require
respect for the dignity and rights of the
human person. cvt>noniic justice, mean-
ingful political participation, shared
power, cultural integrity, mutual
respcvt for all peoples, and uncompro-
mising resistance to social forces and
structures which deny or limit these;
declare our commitment to assume
a new and expanded responsibility in
the struggle to build and sustain a
free and empowered community, a
just society and a better world. We
are aware that we make this commit
ment in an era in which this is need-
ed as never befiire and in which we
cannot morally chiK)se otherwise.
In doing this, we self consciously
emphasize the priority need of Black
men to stand up and assume this new
and expanded responsibility without
denying or minimizing the equal
rights, role and responsibility of
Black women in the life and struggle
of our people.
Our priority call to Black men lo
stand up and assume this new and
expanded sense of responsibility is
based on the realization that the
strength and resourcefulness of the
family and the liberation of the peo-
ple require it;
that some of the most acute prob-
lems facing the Black community
within are those posed by Black males
who have not sIckkI up; that the caring
and responsible father in the home;
the responsible and future focused
male youth: security in and of the
community; the quality of male/female
relations, and the family's capacity lo
avoid poverty and push the lives of its
members ftirward all depend on Black
men's standing up:
that in the context of a real and
principled brotherhood, those of us
who have stood up. must challenge
others lo stand also; and that unless
and until Black men stand up, Black
men and women cannot stand
together and accomplish the awe-
some tasks before us.
II. The Historical Significance of the
Project
This Million Man March, forming a
joint project with its companion activ-
ity. The Day of Absence, speaks to
who we are. where we stand and what
we are compelled lo do in this hour of
meeting and posing challenges. Its sig-
nificance lies in the fact that:
I. It is a timely and necessary
statement of challenge both to our-
selves and the country in a time of
increasing racism, attacks on hard
won gains, and continually delerio-
formity and unity on principle and in
practice for the greater giKid;
6. It is a galvanizing and mobiliz-
ing process to raise consciousness,
cultivate commitment and lay the
groundwork for increased positive
social, political and economic activi-
ty;
7. And finally, it is a necessary
continuation of our ancient and living
moral tradition of speaking truth to
power and seeking power for the vul-
nerable, justice for the injured, right
for the wronged and liberation for
the oppressed
III. The Challenge lo Cursives
I The Million Man March and
Day of Absence are posed first in
challenge to ourselves. We under-
K'fore the Creator, before others and
before the creation, being humble
enough to admit nristakes and
wrongs and bold enough to correct
them.
4. We call then for a Holy Day of
Atonement on this October. 16,
1995, a day to meditate on and seek
right relationships with the Creator,
with each other and with nature.
5. We call also for a special
remembering of the ancestors on this
day and honoring them by a renewed
commitment to speak truth, do jus-
tice, resist evil and always choose the
gtxxl. as they taught us through word
and deed.
6. To the extent that we have failed
to do all we can in the way we can to
make ourselves and our community
the best of what it means to be
tained and meaningful way to the
struggle of i)ur people for freedom
and justice, and to the building ol the
moral community in which we all
want lo live:
I for tailing to do as much as we
can to protect and preserve the envi-
ronment through practicing strug-
ghng for environmentally friendly pat-
terns of consumption and production;
g. for any lime we have turned a
blind eye to injustice, a deaf ear to
truth or an uncaring heart away from
the suffering and pain around us;
h. lor not lesisiing as much as we
san sexist ideas and practices in soci-
ety and in our own relations and tail-
ing to uphold the principle of equal
right*, partnership and responsibility
ol men and women in life, love and
struggle.
rating conditions for the poor and
vulnerable and thus an urgent time
for transformative and progressive
leadership;
2. It is a declaration of the resolve
of Black Men. in particular and the
Black community in general, to mobi-
lize and struggle to maintain hard
won gains, resist evil and wrong
wherever we find it and to continue
lo push our lives and history forward;
3. It is a reaffirmation of our
.self-understanding as a people of our
self understanding as a people that
we are our own liberators, that no
matter how numerous or sincere our
allies are. the greatest burdens to be
borne and the most severe sacrifices
to be made for liberation are essen-
tially our own;
4 It is an effective way to refcKUs
and expand discussion on critical
issues confronting our people, this
country and the world and put forth
our positions on them:
5. It is both an example and
encouragement of operational unity;
unity in diversity, unity without uni-
stand that the challenge to ourselves
is the greatest challenge lor it is only
by making demand* on ourselves that
we can make successlul demands on
s(.x.iely. In this regard we have raised
three basic themes Atonement.
Reconciliation and Responsibility.
For it is through being at one with
the Creator, each other and creation,
and reconciling our differences with
each other, that we can stand up and
together in unity, strength and digni-
ty and accept and bear the responsi-
bility heaven and history have placed
on us at this critical juncture in the
life and struggle of our people.
Alonement
2. For us, atonement in the vest
spiritual and ethical sense is to rcxog-
nize wrongs done and make amends,
to be self critical and self correc
live. It means turning inward and
assessing the right and the wrong,
recognizing shortcomings and com-
mitting oneself to correct them.
■J. Atonement means being always
concerned about standing worthy
African and human, we ask forgive-
ness from the Creator and each
other. And therefore, we dare to
atone:
a. for all our offenses, intentional
and unintentiunal. against the
Creator, other and the creation, espe
cially thtrse offenses caused by our
accepting the worst and weakest con
ceptions of ourselves:
b. for not always following the best
teachings of our spiritual and ethical
traditions of Islam. Christianity,
ludaism (Hebrewism). Maat. Yoruba.
Akan. Kawaida and all other*: and
sacrificing and ignoring the spiritual
and ethical in pursuit of material
things:
c. for over-fiKusing on the person
al at the expense of the collective
needs of our families and our people:
d. for collaborating in our own
oppression by embracing ideas, insti-
tutions and practice* which deny our
human dignity, limit our freedtmi and
dim or disguise the spark of divinity
in all of us;
e. for failing to contribute in a sus-
i. for lacking the moral considera-
tion and human sensitivity towards
others that we want lot (niiselvc-s; and
j. for not always practicing the
Seven Principles: unity, sell detemii
nation, colleilive work and responsi-
bility, cooperative economics, pur
pose, creativity and faith.
7. And thus we i.omniit and recom
mil ourselves on this day and after
wards to constantly strive to be better
persons, live fuller and nu>re mean-
ingful lives, build strong, loving and
egalitarian families, und struggle to
make our community, society and the
world a better place in which to live.
Reeuneilialion
8 We call also for reconciliation
which is a companion practice of
atonement. For it means, for us. to
bring oneself into harmony with the
Creator, other* and creation.
9. This means we call for all of us
to settle disputes, overcome conflicts,
put aside grudges and hatreds in our
personal and social relationships and
in and between our organizations and
Block Man and Woman
By Chinedu D. Ogbuike
Black woman to me you are beautiful
And I feel very happy and grateful
That a person like you exists
Because you are very precious
You are precious because you are there
For the black man who is always in despair
Because he sometimes does not think
But just does things according to instinct
Black woman I need you lo help
Deal with the problems of society
Society sees me as a minority
Who is not willing and able to succeed
But with your help black woman I can
Prove to the world that the black man
Despite the trouble he gets in
Can achieve the things expected of him
Sorry black woman for the way the black man
Treats you as if you were trash in a can
lust forgive the black man and continue to pray
For him lo treat you in a gentle and nice way

Into the Nineties prints highlight
Herter Gallery exhibit this month

INTO THE NINETIES: PftlNTS FROM THE TA/MMND
INSTITUTE'
Herter Gallery
Oct 5 -Nov. 10
In a chaotic world it's soothing to sec the collabora-
tion of different artists and media working together to
create one oxeruhelminp show.
"Into the Nineties: Prints (nm\ the Tamarind Institute"
is a mind-blowing exhibition of 62 litk^raph prints b>
4 1 conienipi.>rarv artists. Since each artist works in col-
laboration with a ntasier printer, th: overall iinager>' is a
ver>- imlividualistic cn.-aling of a large variety of prints.
"The show is the ver> bi-st of contcmporan lithogra-
phy made at the Tamarind Institute during the last
dtxade." said Charles Lovell, curator of exhibitions of
the VVitherspoon Art Gallery.
The Tamarind Institute is located at the University of
Sew Mexico and is the leading center for training mas-
ter printers of lithology. The Tamarind exhibit is on
display at the University of Massachusetts as part of a
national tour encompassing five museums.
•Since its founding in I%0. Tamarind lithographv
wwkshops have been characterized as something of a
visionary project, widely regarded as one of the princi-
pal workshops that initiated the revival of American
printmaking in the 19<>0s." said Diane Gaston, head
curator of the Herter Gallery.
Incorporated into the exhibit were several series.
Two very interesting ones were "Seis Sanieros' and
"Artist's Impressions." The first consisted of six
Hispanic New Mexican artists producing traditional
religious imagery. The latter was a set of 24 one-run
hthographs by nationally known artists on small black
and white prints. These perfectly orchestrated group-
ings of prints, pull the show together and create a dom-
inant theme within the dramatic variety of a show
which spans over 10 years of work.
"Into the Nineties" is an eyecatching variety of
printmaking techniques that uses color, religion and
cultural aspects to produce a must-see blitz of artistic
views. Some of the artists include Dottie Attie.
William Brice. Christopher Brown. Robert Colescott.
Roberto Juarez. Patrick Nagaiabi. laune
Quick-To-See-Smith, Ed Ruscha. Lousia Chase, itaio
Scanga and Hollis Siglcr.
Eric Trosko. a senior painting major at UMass said.
'Although Ian particularly drawn to a few certaiti
prints. 1 feel there's something for everyone."
In addition to the exhibit, two workshops were also
made available for public participation. On Oct. 15
Master Printer leffrey Sippcl gave a talk on
"Photolithography and Positive Working Plates." On
Oct. 16 he presented a second lecture entitled
"Waterless Lithography." That same evening in Bartleit
Hall. Majorie Devon, director of the institute, gave a
lecture called "Publish or Perish." It discussed the pub
lication of limited edition prints. This was followed by
the opening nveption at the gallery.
"The workshops don't necessarily follow the show."
said Devon, "but were given as more of an awareness
and method of getting people to understand and to be
interested in printmaking."

THE MASSACHUSETTS DAILY COLLEGIAN
Rake a lunchtime treat
By David Cochat
Collegian Cofrespondent
THf RMiE'S PROGRESS
Cope Cod Lounge
October 17
On most days, the lunuh hour is
spent trying to digest the Dining
Commons" food. Tuesday, however,
provided a pleasant diversion. The
band. The Rake"s Progress, played a
show at the Cape Cod lounge, much to
the delight of lunch patrons who
stayed to walch the mostly toned down
set.
The small plaWng area in the lounge
allowed for a more laid-back show in
which the band sat in chairs and the
drummer played with a very minimal
set of drums, bringing to mind an
"MTV Unplugged" type of set. Hell,
even the bassist. Bob Donlon, sat on his
amp.
The reason the band was in town was
to promote their debut album.
Calling all film Junkies:
If you're interested in writing about
what you love (film), and you want the
best newswriting experience in the
Pioneer Valley, come down to the
Collegian this week and talk to Laura
Stock, film editor.

"Altitude." on Almo Sounds Records.
They performed many songs from the
disc and even twinkled ilirough a great
R&B cover. Their rendition of "o-o-h
Child," originally done by the Five
Stairsteps, came out oh so silky smooth
compared to the song they performed
right after.
Til Talk My Way Out of This One" is
the now single and it is a rockin' track
in which vocalist Tim Cloherty sings of
how aliens "look over my brain/with
those cathode rays' During this song,
the band's manager handed out copies
of the single and shortly after that,
Gregg Lapkin added to the laid-back
atmosphere by taking over the vocals
while the singer was relegated to rhythm
guitar. The quinlol closed their set with
another great song called. "When I Kiss
Her."
At the end of the concert. The Rake's
Progress were off to Albany to continue
their lour while the rest of us headed to
class, feeling a little better for having
seen a really good show.
Master of spoken word
Henry Rollins to perform
By Jason Flax
Collegian Correspondent
If lames Brown is the hard-
est working person in show
business, then Henry Rollins
is the hardest working person
in punk, Rollins will perform
his Public Insommniac No. 1
spoken word tour 8 p.m.
Thursday night at Amherst
College.
Rollins was the frontman
for Black Flag, one of the
most influential I A. punk
outfits of the early eighties. .As
of laie. he has expanded his
talents through many other
sources of the media. Such
outlets include writing books,
acting {The Chuse. johnny
Mnemonic), and doing adds
for The Gap and Macintosh.
Rollins is also part-owner of
Infmitc Zero viith Rick Rubin,
which is dedicated to releasing
CD's that are out of print or
just loo darn hard to find.
Examples of groups' Infinite
Zero releases are Devo. Gang
of Four, and lames Chance.
Rollins performs with an
intensity that practically stares
you right in the face. He
doesn't like to be labeled a
poet but brings to the spoken
word stage a gripping sense of
honesty. While speaking.
Rollins grips his mike aggres-
sively and the topics he speaks
about range anywhere from
humorous heavy metal to the
more serious topics of death
and relationships.
Regardless of what Rollins
will speak about at Amherst
College, it is likely he will be
unpretentious, intense, and
funny and will deliver a per-
formance not to be missed.
Henry Rollins nil! perform
Thursday. October 19. at
lohnson Chapel at Amherst
College. Tickets are SS uith
Amherst College ID. $12 reg-
ular admission.

The crowd of 58,489, which
had cheered the "Refuse To
Lose' Mariners through a
remarkable run in which they
overcame a I 3-game deficit in
the regular season and an 0 2
hole in the first round against
New York, gave the team one
final standing ovation when lay
Buhner ended the game with a
groundout. Some fans kept
applauding until a few Mariners
came back on the field.
Despite the loss, it was a grvat
season for Seattle, which made
the plavoffs for the first time in its
N-year history The fans' enthusi-
asm, meanwhile, may have helped
get the city a new stadium and
keep the team in town.
The Indians, though, were the
ones celebrating at the end. rac-
ing onto the field to cheer their
accomplishment.
Shortstop Omar Vizquel, who
made two barehanded pickups,
was in the middle of the mob
around the mound. So was
lulian Tavarez and lose Mesa,
who each pitched a scoreless
inning of relief.
Baerga. who had three hits,
and AlKrt Belle, who doubled
and singled on a sore right ankle,
also were celebrating.
Martinez, beaten by rookie
Bob Wolcott in Game I at the
Kingdome. gave up four hits,
struck out three and walked one.
He escaped his biggest jam in
the sixth when he struck out
Tino Martinez with runners on
second and third to end the
inning with a 1-0 lead.
The shutout was Cleveland's
second in three games. Seattle
was shut out only twice during
the season, but a slump by AL
batting champion Edgar
Martinez and tough pitching
against Ken Griffey |r. shut
down the Mariners.
lohnson. who'd won three
times this month with the
Mariners facing elimination,
kept the Indians scoreless until
the fifth. But after beginning the
inning with a leaping catch. Cora
fielded a grounder and threw it
past lohnson covering first base.
With two outs. Lofton lined a
single the opposite way to left ■ it
was Lofton's founh hit this year
off lohnson. who held lefties to a
. 1 29 in the rc-gular season.
In the eighth. Tony Pena led
off with a double off the possi
biy tiring lohnson and Lofton
bunted for a single. Lofton stole
second, then streaked home
along with Pena when a pitch
glanced off Wilson's glove.
Shortstop Omar Vizquel. who
made two barehanded pickups,
was in the middle of the mob
around the mound. So was

Martinez blanks Mariners
Cleveland wins AL pennant
By Ben Walker
Aixxioted Press
SEATTLE — The Cleveland Indians overcame il all
Randy lohnsun. the Kingdome and hiMory.
The epitome of bad baseball lor lour decades, the
Indians reached the World Series tor the first time since
l>)54, beating the Seattle Mariners 4 0 Wednesday night
to win the .AL playoffs 4-2 behind seven shutout innings
from Dennis Martinez.
"I think that the people of Cleveland have suffered
lung.' said Indians manager Mike Hargrove, who played
on some of Cleveland's terrible teams. "This is some-
thing you can never count on."
The Mariner>. for the fourth lime in lb days, asked
lohnson to save their season. Relying on his slider more
than his overpowering fastball, he kept his team close
until Carlos Kaerga's homer capped a three-run eighth,
and lohnson left to a standing ovation that included the
applause of Indians pitcher Orel Hershiser
"They come back so many times They got us scared."
Ikierga said "They've got guys that can beat you any tinKv"
Martinez matched lohnson pilch for pilch, holding
the Mariners lo four hits in seven innings Al 40. he
finally won for the first time in the postseason and
became the oldest pitcher u> win a league championship
series game.
Now the Indians, who won 100 times in the regular
season and swept Boston in the lirsl round of the play-
offs, will lake on the Atlanta Braves. Ihe Icjin with the
K'si record in the National League
The World Series starts Saturday night in Atlanta.
Greg Maddux, likely to win his founh straight NL Cy
Young Award, will start Game I for the Braves. Orel
Hershiser. 7-0 in the postseason, will likely pitch lor
Cleveland.
The last time the Indians went to the World Series,
they were wiped out in four games by the New York
Giants. The lowlighl of that event in 1454 was Willie
Mays' catch against Vic Wertz. Cleveland last won the
World Series in 1948, beating the Boston Braves. Bob
Eellcr was the star of thai team, and the Hall of Fame
pitcher was at the Kingdome on Tuesday nighl to see the
pennant clincher.
Since those days, not much has gone right for
Cleveland. As recently as four years ago. in fact, they
lost 105 games. This Indians team, however, was the
most dominant club in the majors this season.
They proved against lohnson and the Mariners, a team
that had won lour games this years when a loss would
have meant the end of the season.
A two-base throwing error by .second baseman |oey
Cora in the fifth set up an RBI single by Kenny Lofton
for a 1-0 lead. Cleveland broke open the game at last in
Ihe eighth on a passed ball by Dan Wilson that allowed
two runs lo score, and the homer by Baerga that finished
lohnson.
"He's an unbelievable trooper out there." Hershiser
said "He wcni as hard as he could for as long as he
could Tonight we finally got to him "

Minutewomen get by Dartmouth
By Candke Flemming
Collegian Staff
HANO\ HR. N.H — It was a win. but it wasn't
a ^alislying win.
The Massachusetts women's soccer team beat
Northeast Region rival Dartmouth I -0 yesterday,
but the Minutewomen didn't play at their best.
"I feel like we were outplayed by a team that was
beat up and we just did not click. " Massachusetts
coach lim Rudy said. "We didn't have our stuff
going. I'm sure all our women can tell you the same
thing.
"This was not a U.Mass performance. \"m disap-
p«.)inied we didn't play better."
The Minutewomen took just four shots on the
night, one in the first half, while the Big Green had
10, The fit '■I giKxl liK>k on goal lor either team was
with 20 minutes left in the half, when jenna
Kurowski had a clean view at the net but her shot
went wide left.
I')artn\i>uth took a total of four shots in the first
half, one coming off the loot of Melissa .VlcBean
with uK<ul 1 2 minutes to go. which UMass goal-
keeper Oanielle Dion made an outstanding save on,
McBeaii, who scored the only goal in last year's
game between the two sides, executed a
give-and-go with Christina Hallenbcck and then
look a shot that Dion dove to her right on. knock-
ing the ball away with her hands
The Big Green also had a couple of chances with
under seven minutes to go in the half after
Hallenbeck served the ball to the front of the goal.
Rebecca Myers cleared it temporarily, but McBean
got it back and took the shot, which Erin Lynch
kicked out of danger.
"^'ou try to make your own breaks and I thought
we did today." Dartmouth coach Steve Swanson
said "We just came out on the short end of the
slick and it's frustrating because we played well
enough to win
"Anytime \ou play well enough to win it's disap-
pointing when vou don't."
The Minutewomen had an opportunity to score
with just under 14 minutes to go in the half on
L'Mas-.' fir>t comer of the game, lulie Magid served
the ball high and Myers got her head on it but it
went wide to the left.
UMass finally got on the board at the 66:04
mark on a comer, Magid lofted a perfect ball which
Rachel I.eDuc got a piive of on her head. It rico-
cheted off keeper Heidi Hachtel and the crossbar,
to Myers who kicked it in the open net The goal
was Myers' fourth of the season increasing her
pc>ini total to II.
"I think one of UMass" strengths is they're good
in the air." Swanson said, "They've got some giKxl
solid people in the air. We failed to clear on that
jcomerj and that cost us."
The Minutewomen defense was. as usual,
impressive, helping Dion post her fourth consecu-
tive shutout.
"You're not g>.>ing to get any gimmies from
|UMass|. They don't make manv mistakes,"
Swanson said. "I thought we did create some good
chances. They're very good athletes and I think
they play well together Thev make you beat them."
Dion, who was named Atlantic 10 Player of the
Week for the week ending Oct. 1 i. had six saves on
the night. The shutout was her seventh of the season
and her goals-against average dropped to 0,55. She
had eight shutouts during all of last season.
Dion's counterpart Hachtel had three saves on
the night, one of them coming soon after UMass'
goal, when she dove to save a testing Magid shot
from about 20 yards out,
"I thought Heidi made a nice save after the goal
and I think |Dion| made a good save on one of
Melissa's shots." Swanson said.
UMass improved to 9 1-2 with the win while
Dartmouth dropped to 6-5-1 .
The Minutewomen will have to play better on
Saturday, when they face rival No. 5 Connecticut at
Richard F. Garber Field. The Huskies boast a
IJ- 1 - 1 record along with Kerry Connors, who is
No. I in the nation in assists and No. 1 in the region
in scoring, and jana Carabino. who is No. I in the
region in goals and second in the region in points.
"UConn is UConn." Rudy said "If you can't get
up for UConn then you better be prepared to get
hammered. They're exciting, dynamic and fast as
hell, I'm sure we will be up for them "
Defense bolsters
UMass with
UConn on horizon

TH*Nt> VO COlllCtAN
Sophomore Erica Iverson and the fvlassachusetts defense kept the Big Green off the scoreboard as
UMass won a key Northeast region match-up, 1 -0 over Dartmouth.
HANOVKR. N.H — The No
15 Massachusetts women's soc-
cer team is currently emersed in
the toughest portion of its sched-
ule.
In a treacherous 1 1 -day span,
the Minutewomen have faced then
No. 10 Hartford and Dartmouth
and will host No. J Connecticut
on Saturday.
This stretch is the proving
grounds. It is the time to sepa-
rate the cream from the crop.
Facing competition close to what
the Minutewomen will encounter
in the NCAA Championships in
November, This is the time to
find out who will be on the pitch
when it comes time to clinch,
and who will watch from the
bench.
If recent performaiKes are any
indication. UMass' defenders will
fomi the dominant unit and be the
team's back bone as the
Minutewomen charge into the
NCAAs.
An even more unappealing fate
awaits the opposing forwards
who somehow find a path
through the menacing defenders.
Sophomore goalkeeper Danielle
Dion has stood her ground not
pemtitting an opposing tally for
in the last 395 minutes and 54
seconds,
"They're solid in the back."
Dartmouth coach Steve Swanson
said, "They're all very good ath-
letes and they play well together.
One of the great things about
jUMassI is that they play so well

Dion. Krin Lynch. Erica
Iverson. Amanda "Thompson and
Nikki Ahrenholz are outstanding
at their jobs and in their individ-
ual roles. Freshman Meghan

some stellar play off the bench fill-
ing in the left back slot and has
shown great promise.
The last two Atlantic- 10
Players of the Week have both

What makes this unit so incred-
ible and invincible of late though.
is their cohesion.
Seldom misaligned and con-
stantly offering support, the four
defenders and Dion work as one
in stopping opposing forwards.
Recently the Minutewomen
have faced some powerful goal
scorers in Hartford's Jessica
Reifer. Stephanie Chmura and
Danish International midfielder
Irene Stelling in addition to
Dartmouth's jenna Kurowski.
Opponents have clearly had
exceptional scoring opportunities,
but no shots have entered the
UMass net.
"IDartmouthj connected many
times, but we didn't give up a lot."
UMass coach jim Rudy said,
"Whatever it looked like it still
says "0" up there jon the score-
board), and it's said "0" for four
games now."
In fact, the Minutewoman
defense has been so stingy that
during their shutout streak Dion
has had to make just 1 7 saves.
With its offense sputtering (one
goal in the last 250 minutes) now
is the time for the defense to
stand tall and spur the
Minutewomen on to victory
against fierce nationally ranked
competition.
UConn will bring four of the
northeast region's top seven
scorers with them for their show-
down with UMass at Richard F.
Garber Field on Saturday after-
noon. How well the UMass
defenders can contain the
Huskies will show whether or
not this team as a whole can con-
lend for the National
Championship.
Not so long live the kickers;
Panthers win first over Jets
The life of a kicker in the NFL is a fleeting thing
Their job looks so easy, really. Dix's a guy kicking a
field goal gel the lights knocked out of him by a line-
backer on a blit/ very ofien'' No. Does he ever have to
make a tackle',' Sometimes, but if he has the opponuni-
ty to. and if he misses everyone raticmalizes it by say-
ing. "It's OK, He's a kicker, that isn't in his job
description," However, they are easy jobs to lose
because no one forgets when they don't do what is
asked of them
Two weeks ago on Monday night in Detroit (then
0 5). San Francisco place kicker Doug Bnen had a
chance to lie the game as regulation time expired
Mis field goal attempt hit the right
upright and the Niners had lost
their first game of the season.
The San Francisco upper manage-
ment, particularly Eddie DeBartelo
does not like to lose and speculation
after that game had Brien on the
unemployment line by Wednesday.
It turned out not to be true as he
kicked off for the game against the Giants the follow-
ing Sunday. Luckily the game was not decided late
and the much maligned kicker could enjoy the
California sunshine for another week.
,As the 49ers headed to a different Midwestern
dome. Indianapolis this time. Brien was given a chance
for redemption. A 45-^yard field-goal with less th-in u
minute left, and his team down by one point. His kick
was never on line, and as Bob Uecker said in Major
Lvalue, "luuuust a bit outside."
If the San Francisco game comes down to the final
drive and the Niners need a three-pointer to tie or win
the game. Brien won't get another chance. He was
released on Monday.
Everycme who watched or heard about Super Bowl
XXV remembers Scott Norwood, the sure fooled
Bullalii kicker who missed a field goal well within his
range which started the Bills as bridesmaids for four
consecutive years When Buffalo again made it to the
Championship game it was with Steve Christie doing
the kicking, not Norwood.
Maybe the place kicker that will forever be remem-
bered around these parts will not be Tony Franklin,
who was the man at the position when the Patriots
made the trek to the promised land in Super Bowl XX.
or even |ohn Smith who was the kicker for the infa-
mous snowplow game in 1980 It will probably be Scott
"Missin" Sisson for the countless games that he did not
win for New England in the Pals 5-1 1 season of 1995,
In Sisson's rookie season out of Georgia Tech, 'he
missed game winning and game tying field goals with
lime tunning out. He even missed crucial extra
point!, that cost his team victories or chances to win.
pmiN C. Smith
-NFLv
It can be argued that he could be to blame for as
many as six losses. If he had made the majority of
those opportunities his team could have been 10- 6
or 9- 7. which is clo.se to if not good enough to get a
wildcard.
When he was |ei go late in that season, he was
replaced by .Malt Bahr. the current New England kick-
er. By the way the last four games of the 1995 season
were won by the Patriots,
• Sam Wyche led a talent scarce but fundamentally
soutid Cincinnati Bengal team to the Super Bowl twice,
though ihcv lost fxilh times, now he is with the Tampa
Bav Bucciineeis and can lay claim to the third best
record in the NFC. Wyche does have
considerably more talent with this
cast of characters, but they are mostly
young and inexperienced,
Tteni Diller must leam not to force
passes that don't need to be thrown
and a defense that normally buckled
in the past tnust learn to bend and
not break With the out of division
schedule, if the Bucs go .500 against Central oppo-
nents, thev have a great shot at making the I gulp) plav-
offs.
• After the Colts-49ers match-up this weekend
both teams had identical records at 4-2. Though San
Francisco could have won both games they lost, the
most recent one was to the grittiest team in the AFC.
Led by lim Harbaugh at OB and Marshall Faulk, wht)
can line up anywhere on offense to give any defen-
sive coordinator in the league the willies, they are in
a position to knock off anyone on any given day.
Could it be Ted Marchibroda versus Wyche in
Arizona on lanuary 28th? In what has been a wacky
year in the NIL you never know.
• Since Steve Young is out for the next four weeks
with u stiain on his throwing shoulder. (I'd bet that
he will make a miraculous recovery in time for the
Dallas giinie which would be Young's fourth week
out of the line up) Elvis Grbac will be under center
for what is a key divisional game against the first
place Rams,
Yes. the Niners are still looking up to the newly
nn)ved St. Louis leam and if San Fran loses they will
be two games back. r)on't be surprised if the team
under the arch takes advantage of the "No Young and
they're Hamiless" 49ers and wins big,
• I wanted to congratulate the Carolina Panthers on
their franchise first victory. However I cannot do so as
the win came over the embarrassment of the NFL. the
New York lets. Any win over them should not count
because if the organization was a college they would

UM tries to turn Green, blue
By Mike Corey
Collegian Staff
The .Massachusetts mens' soccer
team is lociking to make it seven games
in a row without a loss as it takes on
regional rival Dartmouth today at 5
p,m, at Richard F. Garber Field.
The last time the Minutemen
defeated Dartmouth was in 1 99 1 . and
the all-time record the Minutemen
have against the Big Green is 5-22-5.
However this stat does not disturb
UMass coach Sam Kt>ch.
"That doesn't mean anything."
Koch said. "Their 0-0 against us this
year. We just need to keep focus for
90 minutes, and everyone needs to
play their game."
For the first time in a long while
the Minutemen will be back playing
at near full strength, as the only
doubtful player for today's game is
senior forward Colin lohnson. The
Minutemen have been plagued by
injuries all season long and are happy
to have most of the players healthy.
Karsten Brenike made his return in
style as he recorded two goals in
UMass' 5-1 thrashing of St.
Bonaventure on Saturday.
"It is definitely big having Bremke
back." Koch said.
However, Koch mentions that he
feels his team has been playing very
well even when some of theif top
players have been out.
"Offensively we've been doing a
good job." Koch said. "Brad Miller
has been playing very well, and it's
just been an i)verall good team effort.
F>ery game someone has picked up
the slack. Dave Siljanovski has con-
tinued to play well and Mike Butler
has done a great job this year."
Dartmouth comes into today's
match with a record 2-8-0, having
given up 23 goals while only scoring
1 1. Senior forward Hunter Paschall is
the Big Green player to look out for.
He is the team leader in goals, tied
for the lead in assists for a total of 14
points.
Both of Dartmouth's wins have
come on the road, when it has scored
first.
The Minutemen in the last six
games have demolished the competi-
tion scoring 19 goals, giving up only
five, and recording two shutouts.
Siljanovski has Ic-d the way. as he
now has 10 goals and 15 assists on
the season. Goalkeeper Eric Gruber
has been phenomenal, allowing only
five goals and making 28 saves the
past six games.
"Defensively we are continuing to
improve." Koch said. "The goalkeep-
ing has been excellent, and our
defense is getting the job done."
Although UMass scored five goals
against both George Washington and
St. Bonaventure. Kixh believes thev
should have had more.
"Offensively we need to finish our
chances with a higher percentage."
Koch replied. "We're getting the
opportunities, and we need to con-
nect."
Darttnoulh is riding a two game
losing streak, with two previous loss-
es to Brown and Princeton.
After today's contest, the
Minutemen will play possibly their
biggest game yet this season at
home Saturday against Rhode
Island, the front t'unner in the
Atlantic 10,

Pipe back— up gives Dwight Hall the stink
By Amy H. Porodysz
Collegian Staff
Everything's cleaned up now. but the residents of
Dwight Residence hiall are still up^et about the
sewage flood in their ba'^ement and other water relat-
ed problems they've had over the last ciniple weeks,
"They never tc)ld us what it was." said Clifford,
who said he was told it was a just a "leak."
But on one iKcasion. "We had janitors wearing
yellow fishing waders." said Clifford, "The carpet
I in the basement! was thoroughly soaked with
excrement,"
Although the mess was cleaned up prcmiptly.
even in the middle of the night. Dwight residents
would have liked to base been informed of the rea-
son for the leak, what was leaking, how long they
should have expected difficulties and what the
University was or is doing about it.
A sewer line broke on Kastman Lane a few
weeks ago and it seemed to affect only Sylvan,
according to Pat Daly of the Physical Plant. But
then, after the line was fixed, the sewer started
backing up into Dwight. Several days in a row.
Physical Plant cleaned up the mess and cleared the
lines, only to find the same mess again.
A television camera was sent into the pipes and
Physical Plant discovered that there were two more
breaks in the line, closer to North Pleasant Street,
according to Daly.
"Dwight is the lowest building." said Daly.
"Every lime the sewer backs up. it backs up into
Dwight,"
Physical Plant is currently manning pumps out-
side Dwight 24 hours a day. but according to Daly,
the problem should be resolved by today or tomor-
row.
Howes er, Daly said the teles iviun camera
showed that "there are seseral badls eroded areas
and the line needs to be replaced " He said he
hopes the pipe makes it to the summer, when it can
be replaced
Unanswered questions
Kven now that the incident seems to be over, res-
idents base relevant questions that they say have
not been addressed by Invironmenlal Health &
Safety. Physical Plant or Mousing.
"Our biggest problem is we don't know if the
water's been tested." said Stockbridge student
Chris Donato. "It may not be a problem, but they
should let us know if everything i* alright or if
something's rail alright "
According to Daly, "there are two completely
separate systems for sewer water and fresh water,"
There is no possibility of water contamination, he
said.
Tuesday morning, a janitor had told a few stu-
dents that he wouldn't drink the water "if I were
you." according to Donato and Clillord.
The needless worry oser possible water contami-
nation was the last straw A few students began
talking about writing a letter to the administration,
Donato. surrounded by students in the lobby,
drafted a letter which explained their grievances
Also, they mentioned the possibility of housing stu-
dents in the Campus Center hotel until the problem
is completely resolved, or giving rent rebates.
Students noticed they "may apply for a rent
rebate as a result of hardship in living conditions,"
according to the 1995-% Residence Hall Manual.
"In the first few days, not too many eyebrows
were raised." Clifford said, "We thought maybe it
was a one-time thing."

morning were greeted with the same mess as

meal plan weren't even able to get their fotxl. never

That day. the co--ed residents of Dwight had no
water not even toilets - from b:45 a tn, until
5:45 p in. They were advised to go to l.each. a

smelled strongly of antiseptic But the IIihkIs have
come six times in about 10 days and the water is

Thanks."
Clifford and Donato pointed out a water stained
envelope, saying they believe that at least one bag
of mail "was in the stuff," They realize that could
be one of the many rumors floating around,
Clifford said. "Kveryihing is so vague,"
Before yesterday, "the stench was so bad nobtxiy
really wanted to go downstairs lo check their mail."

Congress has split views on Medicare & balanced budget
By David Espo
Associoted Press
WASHINGTON — Republicans and
Democrats in Congress are reading the same polls
these days but drawing opposite conclusions,
pointing the way lo an unusually sharp split on
GOP legislation to overhaul Medicare and balance
the budget.
The result could help shape the government's
social programs far into the future — and the 19%
congressional elections, as well.
The poll numbers appear lo show fading public
support for the GOP agenda. A recent survey taken
by the Times Mirror Center for the People and the
Press reported 50 percent of Americans disapprove
of policies advocated by Republicans in Congress,
while 56 percent approve.
"This is a plan that seniors don't like and won't
like in November 1996." said Rep. Martin Frost
(D-Texas) spearheading the party's effort to regain
the majority it lost last fall.
Republicans, he said, "are stubborn, they are ide-
ologues and that's terrific from my pciini of view."
Not so. say the Republicans.
"I'm willing lo bet that half the drop in our polls
are people worrying we won't do it. because they
realize how large the task is." said Majority Leader
Dick Armey of Texas. He also says the drop was to
be expected, given a sharp and persistent
Demcx:ratic attack.
And Rep. Bill Paxon (R N Y.) in charge of the
COP campaign organization, said. "I'm confident
that a year and a month from now we'll have
gained 20 or 50 or more seals in the House."
Republicans are running their risk at a time
when other political trends are clearly moving in
their favor.
Outside Congress, two switches gave the GOP
control of the Tennessee Senate last month.
Nationwide, the Republican National Committee
said 97 elected Democrats have switched to the
GOP since the 1994 elections.
That includes Democratic senators and three
members of the House, with at least one more.
Rep. Mike Parker of Mississippi, expected to move
after his state holds elections next month
Congressional DeniLKiats are retiring in striking
numbers, giving Republicans the opportunity for
additional gains.
Flight of 1 5 Democrats whose terms expire in
1 996 have decided to retire rather than run for re-
election. So. t(X). five Southetners in the House.
If any of the former congressional Demixrats are
having second thoughts, it doesn't show,
"I think the main thing we need to do is follow
through. " says Rep. Nathan Deal of Georgia, who
made the move to the GOP last spring. The coming
votes are "not made in the absence of political dan-
ger," he said. F.ven so. "The worst thing we could
do is back off."
That's become a rallying cry among Republicans
this fall. That's in part because they have no practi-
cal alternative, in part because their first-termers
are dedicated to dramatic change, and in part
because they have a flesh -and bliKxl example of a
pc)lilician who persevered and won a thumping re-
election.
Michigan Gov, John Engler has twice gone
before House Republicans at closeddixir caucuses
to preach the virtues of following through with dif-
ficult political measures. He's spoken once to the
GOP senators.
Elected in 1990. his approval ratings drooped
into the teens as he pursued a no-new-laxes remedy
for erasing his state's deficit.
He recovered to win a second term last fall with
62 percent of the vote.
First-term Sen. Spencer Abraham, who was
Michigan's GOP chairman during the eariy days of
Engler's term, said there are obvious parallels,
"I think we will be rewarded for fulfilling our
promises." he said.
Whatever the outcomcf there's little doubt about
the stakes involved.
Democrats have been waiting all year for the
debate to move beyond the general goal of a bal-
anced budget, which is hugely popular with the
public, to the politically riskier program-by-pro-
gram changes needed lo reach the goal.

However, the number of times the

match the number of real offenses.
Still, the number of recorded

Drugs and the law
,\ recorded "drug related incident"
is usually equal to "possession," Most

"Everything'has to be in compli-

is not obligated to answer, said
Holmes
That semester, when there were 70
founded diug law offense calls
recorded, the UMass Police
Department made two arrests and
seven confiseations.
Looking at these statistics. John
l4inzerotta. seiretary of the Cannabis
Reform Coalition said, "one can't
necessarily correlate instances of
police dispatch with actual drug use
by UMass students.
"You have to take into account the
personal altitudes and willingnc'ss of

think that they know that we should

i^nzerotta. who said police ought to
be concentrating their efforts un the
war against violence rather than the
war against drugs.
But the laws are the same
statewide,
"If a person is found with even a
very small amount of marijuana, such
as resin in a bong or a roach, he or

Weld looks to heal foster care ills
Qovemor proposes $8»8 million budget boost to cure system
By Glen Johnson
Assoc lofed Press
BOSTON — Gov William F. Weld
on Wednesday proposed another
iifusion of cash into the state's belea-
guered foster care system, a system in
which eight children have died this
year.
The governor proposed boosting
the Department ol Social Service's
$599 million budget by $8.8 million,
a .so-called supplemental appropria-
tion because the state's fiscal year
already is in progress.
In September, he proposed aiK>lhcr
$5.1 million supplemental appropria-
tion, but the Legislature has yet to
,tct on that.
The lirvt request would pay for
1 27 new social workers, supervisors
and legal staff. The second would
strengthen foster care parent recruit-
ment and training, as well as the
development of other living arrange-
ments lor foster children.
The second appropriation also out-
lines new, striclcr foster care goals,
including:
— Limiting the total number of
children in a loster family to six
minors and four foster children,
down from eight minors and six fos-
ter kids.
— Prohibiting new placements
with foster parents age 65 or older:
currently there is no age limn.
— Flsiablish a foster home proba-
tionary period, under which new fos-
ter parents would be limited to two
placements during the first six
months.
— Prohibit foster care parents
from also being family day care
providers; currently they can provide
day care.
Linda Carlisle, commissioner of
the Department of Social Services,
said she would not implement the
new guidelines until she gut extra
funding, since she would have to
recruit new fc>ster parents if she fur-
ther limits the number of children
who could live with the existing
corps of parents.
Sen. Thercse Murray ( D-
Plymouthl, co-chairman of the joint
Committee on Human Services, said
getting the Legislature to approve
any additional funding may be diffi-
cult, but she was optimistic.
"If we put it up front, we won't be
spending the money in the lung run.
We've got to lake care ol these kids
from the start," Murray said.
Weld's proposal comes against a

tragic backdrop: eight children have
died while in foster care this year and
several others have been sexually
abused or severely injured.
lust last week a judge found that a
nine-year-old foster child found last
year under a nearly 400-pound load
of fallen sheetrock had actually been
sexually abused and murdered. The
district attorney, however, said he
did not have enough evidence to
charge anyone from the foster family
In September, a 5-year-old foster
child strangled when he apparently
became entangled in his bed clothes
while playing with other children
after his foster parents had gone to
bed.
DSS officials say both they and the
families that volunteer to take in fos-
ter children are overburdened.
The department has about 2,900
workers — including just 1.400
froni-line social workers — to moni-
tor 22,000 families with 45,000 chil-
dren. There are about 1 1,500 chil-
dren in foster care.
The department tries to limit each
social worker's caseload to 18, but
the airrent average ii 19
Stale legislators have elevated their
criticism of the department, especial
ly after an official said in August that
half of all juvenile delinquents being
held by the stale were once in the
custody of the Department of Social
Services
Legislators said that statistic
proved the department wasn't doing
its job.
In May, though, the Senate reject-
ed a budget amendment that pro-
posed spending $1.6 million to hire
DSS ca.seworkers.

UMass yearbook receives award;
Index chooses Snapple for theme
Self defense program offered for women
By Moureen Rozonski
Collegion StoH
The Model Mugging Personal Safety Training
Program is eombaiing street violence and domesiie
abuse by offering a sell defense seminar for women
beginning Oct. 21 at Akido of Northampton.
The program focuses on empowering students.
Participants Icam how to assess their own confidence
while they Icam basic physical skills.
"The program helps women get in touch with their
self- preservation instincts by mentally and physically
preparing them for real-life situations.' said Kira
McGovcm. coordinator of the Model Mugj:ing pro
gram in Boston.
Students practice the physical skills they learn on a
"model mugger" who wears protective clothing Students
are also taught "boundary setting" and "de-escalation
skills" they can use to avoid beeotning potential victims.
lohn Hussey. Police Officer/Instructor ol the lk>sion
IVIilC Acddciiiv, has quoted in a Model Mugging llycr
that, "this program is Ihe only short term course I have
seen that gives the student an idea ol how iii defend
the in selves*
Recent graduates of the Model Mugging program
have experienced an overall increase in their inner con
fidence and sell-expectations. Mctiovem said
The MiKiel Mugging program was created in the
1470s. and in 1487. was initiated in Koslon The orga-
nization, graduating hundreds of students each year,
oflers defense programs for men. women, teens and
children.
The program has fx-en highly esteemed by Simmons
College. Hanard College arid the New England Sexual
Assault Network.
The upcoming program spans 2-1/2 consecutive
weekends. It costs between $400 $600. and special
linancing can be arrangc-d.

Senior Englisfi major, Greg Zenon (center) sports a plaque awarding the Index yeartsook staff with Senior

By David Jastrow
Collegian Correspondent
The Index yearbook celebrated its entrance into the
l')')^ Gallery of Excellence and revealed plans for next
year's version on Monday night.
Approximately 30 staff members gathered at The Index
office to receive the award, which is presented annually by
Walsworth Publishing Company to honor those yearbooks
which consistently demonstrate superior work. The
Missouri- based company printed The Index, along with
4000 other yearbooks in the past year.
The Index has been an annual tradition at the
University of Massachusetts since 1868. making il one of
the oldest college yearbooks in the country. Il is funded
independently, a constant source of tension, according to
Greg Zenon. editor-in-chief of The Index.
The Gallery of Excellence is presented each year. The
1 495 Index receivt-d one of only ten awards offered nation-
ally. Il is the first all-color yearbook in New England.
Walsworth announced it would enter the book in a con-
test sponsoa-d by Publishing Industries of America (PIA».
The competition will cost Walsworth $2000 dollars to
enter, and The Index will join two olher college year-
books. Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt. The UMass year-
book won the contest in 1489.
"It's a great bi.>ok. and we overcame many hurdles,"
said Zenon.
The all-color format brought increased costs, hi staff
members compensated by fiolding extra senior photo ses-
sions and calling the parents of every graduating senior.
For the first time, the book was marketed to first-year
students. Book sales are expected to Increase by 200
copies over last year's totals.
Snapple Beverages will be used as the theme for the
144(j Index. Anita Kestin. associate c-ditor. said she hopes
Wendy Kaufman, the quirky spokeswoman Irom ihe
Snapple advertising campaign, will make a campus
appearance.
"We're excited about it because UMass is one of our
biggest users." said Bob Kelly, sales manager for Snapple
in Vermont and Western Massachusetts.
BOSTON (AP) — Rape victims will find it easier to
prosecute their attackers because of a new state program.
In a bid to encourage rape victims to testify and
increase the conviction rate in rape cases, the state is
training 250 nurses to specialize in sexual assault cases
The nurses arc being trained to gather medical evidence
of sexual assault and to testify in court. AdvtKates of ihe
prugram say having specialists testifying will help them in
cases against accused rapists.
"All a defense attorney has to do to get his client off is
to plant that kernel of doubt about evidence, as we ull saw
in the O.j. Simpson case." said Geline Williams, a
Plymouth County assistant district attorney who is teach-
ing pan of the training course.
"Thai's why we carv that we tfon't just have a nurse tesiily-
ing. but a good nurse, wtio knows how impctrtum it is tu col-
lect evidence, to package il. to present it and to analv/c it in a
way that will help us carry the burden of prool." she said
Forty nurses completed the initial training last week at
Massachusetts General Hospital, and the state will pay to
train others at the University of Massachusetts. By the end
of Iha year, the state [X-partment of Health hopes to have
a aexual aasaull nurse examiner within 45 minutes ol
every emergency room in the slate.
There are ab«.iut 40 similar programs across the coun
try. The Patriot Ledger of Uuincy reported in Tuesday's
c-ditions
Al the moment, rape victims who come to the hospital
are often examined by several different doctors and nurs-
es, most of whom are not ^'cialisls in dealing with rape.
"Collecting the evidence you need in court is so com-
plex that nurses and doctors can't do a careful job and
still lake care of the shooting victims and heart attack
patients." said Gail Lenehan. who is running a training
program at Massachusetts General Hospital
Some advocates say that the stress ol dealing with
untrained doctors can make victims unwilling to testify.
The speciali.st nurses will do everything from the pelvic
exam and lorensic photography to cimtacting rape crisis
counsekirs.
"If you feel as though someone is there and has sup-
ported you and collected good evidence, you mav say.
Yes. I know I'm strong enough to take this lo prosecu
lion." said Marion F. Winfrey, who is overseeing the
training as dircvlor ol undergraduate nursing progratns at
lIMass-Bosion.
There were 1.601 rapes repi>rtcd in Massachusetts last
year, said the stale Department of Public Safety.
Accorxling to statistics at the National Victim Center, only
16 percent ol rapes are reported

This world aint
intellectual anymore
I would of thought your someone who could tare
less .\nything wrong with that sentence, boys and
girls? What's sad is the errors it contains are tiny
dlfects (did you notice?! of the intellectual demise of
America and its culture
Poor use of grammar is
one thing, especially
embarrassing in print, but
»hole^ale abuse of prisi-
Icge in media discourse at
large is quite another. We
can I talk or write and we cant make a movie, televi-
sion show, novel or song that isn't rife with some
abhorrent mixture of carnage, misogyny and downright
condescending stupidity.
Hollywood. .Madison Avenue and daytime television
(where does this tra^h come from'') do their best each day
to contort the scope of our popular culture into a most
hideous form. Most of us are incapable of recognizing the
quality and style found in films and books that are more
than five years old.
There's a show on weekday afterniMns called "The
Richard Bey Show " The joke around this desk is one
of its staff will be the next Mr Bey Well, here'* hop-
ing otherwise. The entire program i< nothing but a
ridicule of obese women. What pure genius I laughed
the first time I saw it. but it's only funnv because it's
ludicrous.
Now. I'm rtot whining abc)ut a couple of crunibv shows
in circulation. Why is there such a lack of appreciation for
what went on before'' If I'm at home clicking through
channels and I pause on .-Xmerican Movie ClaNvics. I get
laughed at The only people who should be watching
limmy Stewart. Audrey Hepburn or Alfred Hitchcock are
our grandparents, right?
Wrong. IX) you remember the movie Baby? Is there an
Oscar given for the absolute most juvenile, wafer-thin
heap of refuse on film'' It could be founded for this eye-
sore.
Sure, there have always been bad movies, and what's
bad is subject to interpretation, but when so much is so
clearly bad. it's time to blow the whistle.
There are no less than 10 hour -long talk shows spread
aero*.-- the networks for our viewing pleasure five days a
wc-ek If their air lime* didn t conflict. I'm sure 50 million
Americans would watch all 10 Instead, they watch six.
plus a couple more in the evening, bringing their daily
total to the national average of eight hours per day.
Was there life before the picture lubi-:' It must be a per
plexing question all those Ricki Lake fans ask themselves:
what did pet>ple do before TV?
In reading the memoirs of foreign correspondent par
excellence William Shirer. Twentieth Century loumey. I
may have found the answer They read books, learned his
tory from their elder* and maybe they secretly thanked
Gc>d there wasn't a huge group of clueless fools pent up in
high -rises that tried all day to get them to see something
trite on a screen.
I don't believe there's any question the average
American is less intelligent than he or she was perhaps
even as long ago as 100 years. All the CD-ROMs in the
woHd aren't going to change that. Critical thinking is one
of the least emphasized mental skills and the need for it is
further lessened bv the spiion-fed arts. Really, how many
films made in the last decade are destined to be classics?
Back to my first sentence. I've found each of the
three errors in it repeatedly on these pages, and just
the other day a young woman who might be an aspir-
ing journalist (she has been published in several
places^ had to ask me the difference in uses for
"effect" and "affect." That was a distressing moment
for me. I had hoped that the young members of our
profession were a cut above, but I guess I was wrong.
They're everywhere, those Richard Bey-Ricki Lake
watchers. I'm going to kill mv TV.

March distorted
by media
The past couple of months have really made
me disrespect the network media. The O.j.
trial aside. ABC completely embarrassed
itself several days ago with their handling of the
Million Man March.
First. I've seen more air time devoted to a snow
storm Their actual coverage of the event was no
more than bungled and lackluster.
The half hour's
worth of air time it did
devote to the event
focused primarily on
who could sound the
most politically cor-
rect, or who could cover their ass the best when
addressing the crowds. The network disregarded
anvlhing worthwhile, (those pesky little speeches and
actual conversations v*ith anyone attending the
march) and instead made themselves look like idiots
with their own personal perspectives.
One report in particular struck me as an ABC cor-
respondent started out basically saying. "Being the
onlv while guy here puts me in an awkward posi-
tion." He then proceeded to stress how he didn't
want to generalize about the crowd there, blah,
blah. blah. Not once did he actually turn to the
crowd ol men gathered behind him to get an accu-
rate description of what was going on. but I guess
he felt thai was unnecessary.
Kor all ihe attention the media devoted to shoving
microphones in random passerbys faces after the 0.|.
verdict was read, you'd think someone would have
th(.)ught to talk to some attendants at the Washington
Mall during the March. As a matter of fact, the media
can pride itself on focusing entirely loo much on
racial divisions after the O | debacle. You'd think
they'd want lo redeem themselves by devoting as
miKh attention on this major national event.
It obviously wasn't bad enough the march was
overshadowed by the general fear that Louis
Farrakhan stirs in the hearts of white America.
Coincidentally. most of this fear has been main-
tained and perpetuated by our national media.
The March was centered around a positive gather-
ing and featured prominent and important speakers,
but none of this was captured on film. The special
live coverage was more about "feeling the presence
of Farrakhan" at the gathering and interpreting this
presence through the media's own words.
I had hoped lo glean some education from the cover-
age, learn sumelhing faim the speakers and the crowd
in general from my only access to the event — the
major news networks. Unlike the grueling monototKHis
coverage of the 0.|. trial, which made me learn little of
the judicial system. I was unable lo gain anything faim
this baiadcast. Tot) many limes thrtxighout the ba>ad-
casi I found myself embarrassed for a news network
that can't seem lo feel comfortable in the minority.
The O 1 trial still had the media in the majority, being
able to control and manipulate what was considered
news and feigning shcKk when discovering the racist
tendencies of the 1a)s Angeles police deparmient. This
peaceful march left the media without a scapegoat,
unable to fully comprehend what the event was all
about Without anyone else to blame they were at a kjss.
Truly though, maybe this described the event
most accurately — our inability to accept being part
of the minority for once. Peter Jennings himself
looked more than a little baffled trying to describe
his place at the mall. It might have been more effec-
tive to turn the microphone and the cameras over to
this massive gathering, so everyone could have
learned something.

Sick of the PC environment
Evan
Young
As I was doing the crossword
the other day. my eyes were
continually drawn lo a rather
small box of writing next lo the puz-
zle. It said "Not everybody is straight
and neither is the Collegian "
No kidding.
For a little over a
week now the
Collegian has been
bombarding readers
with different GLB
issues and affairs, as anyone who
reads this paper every day would be
able to tell you. Last week there was
a whole page dedicated lo "coming
out" stories. Thai is. people of a
homosexual or bisexual orientation
told the stories of when they first let
others know they were gay or lesbian
and how people reacted lo them.
I'm sorry, but I just don't see either
the reason or the ncvd for a coming out
day. Why is it necessary? Were these
things in the paper for the benefit of
the homosexual populace on campus,
maybe to make them feel more secure
in a society thai ostracizes them? Or
wcR" they written so (he straight com-
munity could read about the experi-
ences of gays? Or is there more to it
than I could speculate about?
But when I read the GLB supple-
ment in the paper. I found myself
asking "How can anyone set aside a
special day for themselves, write arti-
cles professing their sexual orienta-
tion, or tell sob stories of their
non-acceptance by their parents and
friends, yet still complain about not
being accepted in our society?"
In other words, how can any group
of people try so hard to make them-
selves stand out of the mainstream
yet strive for acceptance and equality
within that mainstream? So you're
gay. Thai's nice. Whv
should I care? Why
should il make me think
of you any differently?
Why should you go out
of your way to tell me
when it really makes no difference at
all except in your own personal life?
I do not write articles professing my
own heterosexualily. I do not write
articles telling of the first time I discov-
ered I was attracted to girls. I do not
try to institute heterosexual meetings
or functions on campus (such as a
"straight dance night"). I do not have
to do any of these things because het-
erosexuality is the norm, it is the main-
stream. It is the way life is lived, it is
the history we have learned. People
have not historically accepted those
that flow against the mainstream.
But if there were no coming out
days and articles, if there were no
GLB groups, if there were no gay
bars or gay nights at straight bars, if
there were nothing to set homo- and
bisexuality aside from helerosexuali-
ty. then where would that put it in
the thoughts of our siKiety? Would
we lcx)k on il as something foreign?
What would exist to set il aside?
Il seems like a surefire way to be
ostracized is to try to make yourself
stand out as much as possible.
just the other day there was a
front-page article about a gay stu-
dent's experiences in his four years
here at UMass. Now why should his
experiences be a.) more worthy to
grace the pages of a newspaper than
a straight man's, and b.) be any dif-
ferent than any other students experi-
ences? Granted, we will all have our
own stories and memories about col-
lege which we will hold on to for the
rest of our lives.
But. in general, we all experience
the same basic things here: we all
know what frat parties are like, what
the spring concert is like, what get-
ting drunk and throwing up is like
and how ridiculous the Cannabis
Reform Coalition is.
So why is it more important to hear
about some gay senior than il is to
hear about a straight senior? I didn't
read the article because it dcx;sn't real-
ly matter what il said. It is simply Ihe
principle behind the fact this article
was newsworthy, while hundreds of
other stories are not. simply because
of one's man"s sexual orientation.
These are just some things that
bother me about this school, this
armpit of social and sexual diversity
we attend. Maybe if UMass did not
label itself as the diversity capital of
the world then in wouldn't have so
many problems. Maybe if homosexu-
als didn't set themselves aside such as
they did on coming out day. then oth-
ers would be more accepting of them.

Opinion/Editorial
Leader sends out confusing messages
David Chan
1 really pondered for awhile before deciding to write
this column. Il"s not because I'm not sure of what I'm
saying, but rather I'm confused about the subject. He
claims to be preaching gocxl values, but then he offends
many people — purposely. He calls his brothers and fel
low American citizens to do good works, but all I've seen
from him is talk.
He was the focus of a large rally
yesterday at our nation's capitol. Il
was a demonstration of positive inten-
tions and whether there was 400.000
people or 2 million people in atten-
dance, the magnitude of the event
was still heard and felt by millions
Like this man. many of us want "lo
move toward a more perfect union"
as well. Concerning racism and sex-
ism, what would be the "perfect
union''" Wouldn't it be when all races
can live and wt)rk together without
stirring up stereotypes about each
other? Shouldn't we all recognize
each other for own individual heritage and see ihal as
people we're all the same' Wouldn t it be when women
have the same freedoms as men and have the respect that
they can do the same jobs as a man?
But this is not what he says. He admits his imperfec-
tions and shortcomings out of the fact he's a mortal man
and only God is perfect. He is anti Semitic, sexist and
racist. He picks and chiH)ses when lo separate races. He
is just like many other influential people in our present
society and in our past He is just like many of us.
He's right in condemning while supremacy, the breed-
er of hatred, inequality and many deaths. But what
should be done? Hating jews, separating races and hav-
ing women stay home di)esn'l help White supremacy is
not inherited but taught. It is taught through ignorance,
immaturity and fear by someone who is racist and sexist.
Like him.
There are many people out there who would like to
support and fight for the some of the causes this man
teaches. I am one of them But being what he is. it would
be hard for me. I wonder what he would say if I ever
fk's right in condenmtng
white supremacy, the breed-
er of hatred, inequality and
many deaths. Hut what
should be done? Hating
lews, separating races and
having women stay home
doesn V help.
approached him. I wonder what he would say if I asked
him for the privilege of hanging out with him and some ul
his fellow brothers. Would he let me? Would he take nu
seriously?
It"s giKid he"s calling his fellow brothers to be responsi
ble men. Its good he's motivating them to work hard foi
^__^_^^^^ their families and be proud of who
ihev are But do the majority of his
brothers not know this already? Or
his sisters? Nevertheless, it's giKid
and I'm with him on that.
But his emphasis on calling hi*
brothers to be respcmsible men ua>
stirring a stereotype. It seemed lo
shift the focus of his whole speech
and the rally. Are black men irrespon
sible? Think of some of the many
negative, but disproven. stereotypes
of blacks that surround us today
They soak up all the welfare and fiKd
stamps, their kids are having kid-
they deal all the drugs and narcotics
in our society and now they run from their families and
responsibilities It's a shame these are around.
So is that how black people are"* Of course not We vc
got to realize that many work so hard they couldn't even
attend or afford to attend the march. The average black
salary is so low that missing a day of work hurts. It would
affect their pay as well as their relationship with their
employer.
We have to recognize the many blacks who do lake
responsibilities and who have done more of the walk
instead of the talk I'm talking about the communiiv
workers and the solution offerers. The single fathers and
mothers that raise their children single-handedly. The
ones who have earned success and respect in a white m.ile
dominated society The ones who have made efforts to
associate themselves with all races and condemn separa
tion.
These and many more are the role ifiodels who have
helped their fellow brothers and sisters as well their siKi
ety without pulling themselves on a pedestal.

She s always a woman to me
Her ass shakes away as she tries
lo jump on me each time she
lays her eyes on me. She liter-
ally wants lo kiss my face up and
down as I enter the door each day.
I'm not lying, she sits and stares at
me as I eat dinner, or while I watch
television. She wants me to rub her
down, softly scratching her warm
soft body.
She tires me out.
Sometimes I feel like
she uses me. though.
Her name is Bailey.
She is of slender build,
has big beautiful, capti-
vating brown eyes.
She's gorgeous. She
sends mixed signals,
though, in the way she
acts. When I see my
housemate come in.
she does pretty much the same thing
She wiggles it. she kisses him. she
sits and stares, she wants a rub
down. And that gels me to think, is it
me she wants, is it him, or is it any
ol' person who comes in Ihe place?
I mean, seriously, should I feel jeal-
ous by the fact Bailey is trying to get
il on with my housemate and good
friend? I kinda' like the attention she
gives me on some occasions, when
I'm a little bit down on myself. When
Bailey comes in, and I'm having a
miserable day, she brings my spirits
up. She makes me feel wanted.
Bailey is also great to talk lo. She'll
curl up with me and listen lo my
problems if I plan on spewing them.
And when I'm upset, she tries to gel
me in goixl spirits. She'll want lo go
for a walk, and one in the fall with
the gorgeous foliage can be breath-
taking. We have some nice times oui-
d(x)rs.
But then Bailey can be a pain in
the ass, as well. r)on't mean any dis-
respect, but taking Bailey out can be
tough. We don't go out much and I
don't feel right to let her leave my
side. I'm really not that protective.
but I just don't want her to run off.
you know?
She also has this disgusting habit
of trying to eat everything off of my
plate. Ill be sitting there, eating my
dinner in the living room while
watching television. If the plate
comes anywhere close lo her mouth,
she'll try to snatch it off my plate.
Since she's got a nice
body, you wouldn't
think she'd be a pig
and take food off my
plate. Unfortunately,
she can be a hog at
times.
Plus, Bailey wants to
play all of the lime. She
likes to run around.
play catch, or kick
around a ball. She's
very athletic and some-
limes it's fun to play with her. But.
while I'm doing some work al home,
she's very persistent in getting what
she wants.
Bailey will moan and groan until
she gets her way. And the worst thing
-- she gels il just about every time.
From me. nonetheless.
Bailey's father came up to Amherst
a few weeks back and they were
pathetic together. Talk about being a
daddy's girl, Bailey completely
Ignored me when her father was
around. And when he left, she whim
pered for days. They have a pretty
light relationship, but Bailey was bor
dering on ridiculous. She wouldn't
leave his side. I mean, hey, I'm not
jealous of her and her dad. but when
we watched a movie, she cuddled
with her father. I actually felt sort of
lonely.
So I don't know what lo di'

her to screw? Or maybe I should ju^l
tell you I'm talking about my house
mate's dog. Bailey. And everything I
said here was actually true, except in
some cases, not fully explained.
I didn't mention how Bailey will
whimper to lake her out — so she
can take a crap and urinate in the
yard. I didn't say how she attempts u>
lick my face — after she's been lick
ing away at her own crotch.
What I also didn't say was how
Bailey goes to town on my house
mate's leg. humping away until Grep
has me take a picture. I didn't say
how she rummages through trash,
only to spread out used Q-Tips. used
Kleenex and used ... let's just say
trash is all over the place if she geis
her nose in the barrel. Bailey can be
a nuisance.
Really, though, Bailey is a gor
geous dog. and she's very obedient
She has her times where she gets j
little too chaotic, but not anymore
than Greg does.
I was nervous as to how I was going
lo live with a dog before I moved in a
month ago. since I've never had a pet.
But. it's been a hell of a lot better than
I thought. Bailey's a good dog.
I just don't feel for Bailey in thai
way.

While people throughout the world typically associate the image of the cigar with
Cuba and the Caribbean, few appreciate the historical, cultural and social tignifi
cance that it embodies.
January I. 1959 marked the triumph of the Cuban Revolution over the Batista
dictatorship and the United States Imperialism that it served. The liberation of the
people of Cuba provided for the flowering of Cuban culture, turning both artistic
and commercial production to the service of the people.
In the case of cigars, the
Cuban nation finds one of its
greatest artistic and aesthetic
achievements combined with
one of its most successful
nationalized business enter-
prises. Under the principled
government of Fidel Castro,
Cubans have seen the quality
of the product, the profitahili
ty of the industry and the
equitable and constructive
distribution of these profits greatly increase.
But the forces of Imperialism have sought to undermine the Revolution and its
benefits for the people of Cuba. The United States was stung by the loss of a vHal
colony which it used as a decadent garden of vice and evil pleasures.
Americans and their Mafia exported such degenerate activities as gambling, pros
titution, black marketeering. drug and gun running, smuggling arul other vices to
the once proud island of Cuba, the home of Jos^ Martf.
The CIA and their Mafia partners installed and supported the regime of Pulgencio
Batista. Mafiosi such as Meyer Lansky, Bebc Rebozo, Lucky Luciano and Carlos

If you haven't heard yet, the Green River Cale in
Greenfield has been the new hip place to see live
music this year. All semester they have bc-en billing
top notch hard core bands. But tonight they are
widening their horizons with a gig by New Radiant
Storm King, one of the most exciting bands in the
Valley.
Since forming in 1990 at Hampshire College,
the trio have been impressing fans with their guitar
driven madness a la Sonic Youth. Along with
bands like Polvo. NRSK are taking guitar music to
another level.
As a live band they have been consistently
improving to the point where they might be the
best live band in this pan of the state. Their rc-cenl
show at the Northampton Brewery showed the
band at their best as they played original material,
as well as several covers including a Misson Of
Burma. Now who can beat that?

"Melrose Place." The highly melo-
dramatic Fox drama occupies the
Monday. 8 p.m. time slot and is a
constant source of amuseinent.

times it confounds why ihcse people

ease of an executed prisoner and the

A less spooky show. "Parly of
Five" (Wednesday. 9 p.m.) is the
critically-acclaimed drama that
almost suffered the same fate as "My
So-Called Life." Rescued by viewers,
the show is back for its second sea-
son. Starring Scott Wolf as the hor-
monally charged Bailey, the show is
about five children who are orphaned
when their parents arc killed in a car
accident. Highly underrated and
somewhat heartwarming, the show
deserves some consideration at least
for its subtle and artful storylines and
excellent acting.

COLLEGE FEST WAY MORE WEEKEND
Hynes Convention Center
Oct .14- 15
BOSTON — The line for tickets stretched dovrn
the long hallway. Oversized plastic bags filled with
free goodies were stacked on tables. As soon as you
walked into the hall you were assaulted by pam-
phlets, stickers and coupons. Welcome to the
College Fest Way More Weekend.
Hyped up by every radio and magazine in the New
England area, the fest offered a great way for college
students to sample a wide range of things from fruit
juices to BMWs. Packed into the convention center
like sardines, students milled about the many booths
grabbing free samples like greedy kids on Halloween
Some choice Iree-bees included a bottle of Sysieme
Biolage shampoo, mini-lubes of their body care line,
vials of Navy perfume and Bowling Green .
Booths included stuff from >A/. Spin. WBCN.
Tower Records, Harley Davidson and Urban
Outfitters. The "stufP ran the gambit from shampoo,
condoms, stickers, tapes and CDs. Students could
take a peek at the latest CD ROM. interact with a vir-
tual Dungeons & Dragon's type game or E-mail their
friends far and wide. You could even sit in a new
BMW J 1811 that you could buy for under $20.CXK).
Mastercard had a kareoke-type stage set up where
would be-singcrs could croon to the song of their
choice. The whole sha bang was videotaped and sent
to Mastercard where they are to be judged in nation-
al competition.
On Saturday one could watch Boston's answer to
Green Day. Klover and then trot over to the T.|.
Maxx Fashion Show. Celebrity appearances includ-
ed soap opera hunks from "Day of Our lives" and
talk show hosts Tempest Bledsoe and Charles Perez.

Bledsoe enters competitive world of talk shows
By Laura Stock
Collegion Staff
BOSTON — TemF)esit Bledsoe has become the latest
brave soul to go where many people have gone before —
the competitive arena of talk show hosts.
If her name sounds familiar, it is probably because it
graced the credits of NBC's most popular sitcom to ever
fill ihe 8 p.m. time slot — "The Cosby Show."
Throughout the "SOs. we Gen X'ers grew up watching her
character Vanessa HuxtabIc come of age.
Bledsoe, who just recently graduated from college,
proves that she is all grown up now as she assumes the
role as the twentysomething talk show host of her own
show, "Tempestt."
In an industry that Is so overpopulaied with talk show
hosts, we may wonder what the world needs with another
talk show. We have Oprah. Phil. Sally. Maury. Geraldo.
lerry. Ricki and a plethora of others who only lastc'd a sea-
son or two on the air. So what makes Tempestt think she
can distinguish herself from these established gods and
goddesses of gossip? Well, for Bledsoe, the main priority
is being superior in quality rather than being different.
In a recent interview conducted with Bledsoe at
Boston's Annual College Fair at the Hynes Convention
Center. Bledsoe explained how she plans on setting herself
apart from other hosts on television.
"I think a talk show is really a reflection of who the
host is — the energy that you bring lo it — and I'm not
like any of the other talk show hosts, so I really don'i have
lo worry about separating myself or being different,"
Bledsoe said.
With another show added to the already-crowded after-
noon lineup of talk shows. >oap operas and news pro-
grams, any new show needs a hitch lo survive. It is a
well-known generalization thai talk shows seem lo have
the most difficulty with not copying each other, or not
doing topics lo death. There are only so many times we
can watch a "My boyfriend dumped me for my best
friend" show or a "Prom makeover" spivial. Bui Bledsoe
intends to raise the caliber of topics discussed on her
show, as well as make the issues raised more timely.
"Over the years, pretty much everything has been done
and everything has been talked about, but there are
always issues that are coming up that, you know. 25 years
ago when Donahue started, weren't talked about on
shows, like teenage pregnancy and AIDS," Bledsoe said.
"Young people have new responsibilities sooner and
sooner in life every year that goes by. So from that stand-

Tempestt Bledsoe is a woman making waves with
her new talk show "Tempestt."
point, when people say there is nothing new to talk about,
there are always new things, new twists, new turns
familiar topics that we all have in common." she said.
"We have a million ideas that we haven't doiK yet because
we have only been on the air a month "
Other unique details about "Tempestt" include the scl.
which Bledsoe says 'is different than any other talk show
set," and the fact that, as a host, she is a newcomer to the
scene.
"I'll probably go out on the street with a camera and
crew more than any of the other lalk show hosts," Bledsoe
said of adding creativity lo her show.
Bledsoe is secure in her role as microphone holder, dis-
cussion provoker and listener
"I'm really there to react to the guesis and talk to the
guests and to hear their stories. It would be torture if I
wasn't the type of person who was into listening lo people
and talking to people and had a natural sympMithy for peo-
ple," Bledsoe said.
As the host, Bledsoe's main goal is lo communicate
through the screen how much fun she is having dl her job.
and how much the audience is enjoying the show
Working on television practically all of her life. HIedsoe
understands the responsibility that comes with being in
the spotlight, especially when she is i-quuted with the con-
tent of her show. She can see why she is kH>ked up to as a
role model because of her positive, clean lifestyle, but thai
doesn't hinder her behavior on ihe show.
"I'm not playing a role or being anyone other than
myself when I'm onstage, so I don't see it as a responsibil
ity to be shackled by All those things I am naturally
lumed out to be real assets as lar as the show is con-
cerned — whether it be my being articulate, humorous, or
lighthearted," Bledsoe said.
Bledsoe also claims lo have a lot of input on the topics
covered on her show.
"It is really important to me thai if I put somtihing on
the air I can stand behind it." she explained.
Producers Dick Clark and IXmna Benner Ingber have
equally as much influence on the profirani's topics. Clark
and Benner, along with Columbia TriSlar Disiribution,
are responsible for the other popular talk show. "Ricki
Uke."
Tempestt Bledsoe exudes confidence when she
describes the potentials her new show holds. She is aware
of how competitive the field she has entered is, but
approaches the challenge with all of her television experi
ence and determination that made her an attractive choice
to host her own talk show
Strange Days lacks luster
By Loura Stock
Collegian Staff
STRANGE DAYS
Diradad by Kolhr/n Btgek>w
with Ralph Fiennes, Angela Bass«tt,
Juliette Lewis
Ploying ot Ml. Forms Four
Apparently, no one believes that
the future' holds any hope for happi-
ness, cleanliness or peace in our
world — at least not directors like
Kathryn Bigelow.
Set a mere four years (and a few
months) away from now. Strange
Days is another gloom and doom
prediction of what awful things we
have to look forward to down the
ruad of life.
The film is as dark as its theme, as
nearly every scene is set in the
evening. The last two days of 1999
are chronicled through the eyes of
ex-police officer turned junkie.
Lenny Nero.
Nero, played by Quiz Show's
Ralph Fiennes, is not your average
junkie. Sure, he's got the scruffy goa-
tee, the stringy long hair and the
not-so-muscular physique of a
drugged-out street walker, but this
man is not addicted to. nor does he
deal any sort of drug we are familiar
with — yet.
Nero gets his high and makes his
bucks off of a nellike metal skullcap
when hooked up to a CD-ROM
transmitter can record and playback
real life experiences, also known as
"clips."
Nero deals the "clips" on the street
and in seedy bars. The experiences
recorded on the clips he sells contain
sexual fantasies (he particularly
enjoys his shoebox full of these expe-
riences with his ex-girlfriend, luliette
Lewis) and thrilling crime advcn
lures. Nero lotes himself as. "The
Magic Man" and "The Santa Claus of
the Subconscious."
What Nero refuses deal are clips
that contain sex murders, or "snuff "
Ironically enough, for the majority ol
the movie, when cameras assume the
position so that the audience can see
a clip, the clips are almost always dis-
gusting rapes and murders.
When Nero learns that there is
someone else out there recording
clips of rapes, folk)wed by murders
(one of his hooker-friends becomes a
victim), he entails the help of his
straighl-laced limo driver friend,
playc-d by a buff Angela Basselt.
So now wc have an ex-cop. turned
junkie, lumed hero. Why is this hard
to believe? Possibly because the
sirong visual aspects of the film
detract from a decent performance by
Fiennes and the overall screenplay.
The rape and murder scenes are
extremely disturbing, but so were the
murders in the box office hit Se\en.
The difference in Strange Days is that
the gratuitous violent scenes are not
necessary to the plot and they disturb
the audience more because they are
filmed as though the audience is
committing the crimes.
Originality in Strange Days lies
only in the "clips." As far as this
movie goes, stranger things have hap-
pened. C
Rap legend KRS-One proves his worth
By Adorn Diugocz
Collegian Staff
KRS-Om
KRS-Orte
Jive
It seems that every year there is a turnover in the rap
world largely because rappers often find it hard lo lop the
success ol iheir debut albunts. |usi look at Rcdnic-n. Das
EKX and Black Sheep Then there* are supcrgmups. who
consistently re-lease great albums and then suddenly k»e il.
like Public Eni-my and Eric B. and Rakin. There- are- a few
exceptions, of cx)ui>e, like Tribe Called Quest, Gang Starr
and IX- La Soul who have showed brilliance threMjghoul
their careers. And finally there is KRS-One who re-invcnis
and re-pre-sciits hip-hop wiih every nt-w release.
Belore- going solo he was the founder of the legendary
Boogie Down Productions, he always brought a message
whether it was concerning drug dealers, gangsters or
government officials — KRS-One stayed them all. On
his latest album he targets the hip-hop community.
Declaring himself the, "God of hip-hop." KRS-One
calls for the days of MC's ciphering on the comers and
b-boys breaking in alleys. He clearly feels that most
rappers are so concerned with selling records thai they
neglect the artistic aspect of iheir material which is of
highest priority for KRS- One.
However. KRS-One shows he is still politically
aware with tracks such as "Ah-Yeah" (which was also
on the Black Panthers Soundtrack) and "Fre-e Mumia,*
a song that needs no explanation.
"Kappaz R N Daingia" opens the album in a slam-
ming style KRS One begins his attack on today's rap-
pers with, "MC's Act Like They Don't Know," which is
also the first single. The song is augmented by D|
Premier's cuts. KRS- One continues his attack on
sucker MC's on songs such as, "WANNABFMCEE2"
featuring Mad I ion, "Represent The Real Hip-Hop,"
featuring DAS FF"\ and "Build Ya Skillz" showcasing
Busia Rhymes.
In a time when rappers sell albums by talking about
guns, buds and hoes. KRS-One's ni-w album is vital.
As Mad Lion says. "MC's better he ready for war*
KRS-One keeps the beats slamming as he shows him-
self to the master rapper. Rather than urging people to
grab guns he encourages people to expand iheir mines.
KRS-One gives an open invitation for a freestyle
battle. Watcre-d-down MC's like Snoop Doggy Dogg,
Dr Dre. Montell lordan and Bushwick Bill better get
out of his way because KRS-One is dropping bombs
on iheir lids. A

Marcello. reigned as colonial masters
on behalf of American Imperialism,
their corrupting influence spreading
throughout Cuban society. .As romanti-
cized in the Broadway musical Cuys
and Dolls, Havana became a favorite
destination for .American tourists in
search of vices that laws in the I'nited
States and most countries would not
permit, but which flourished under the
American Mafia in Cuba.
The Cuban people were completely
shut out of the profligate and decadent
lifestyle of the CIA. Mafia and Batista
cliques, suffering both economic and cul-
tural denigration and marginalization.
The communist and nationalist
insurgency led by Fidel Castro and
Ernesto "Che" Guevara led to the over-
throw of the Batista tyranny and the
expulsion of its CIA and Mafia over-
lords. The vice and sin industries were
purged from Cuban society, paving the
way for a renaiSMnce in Cuban culture.
At the same time, agricultural and
industrial enterpnses were nationalized
and turned to the benefit of the people.
Just as the industrialists, commer-
cial establishments, cattle ranchers,
rice growers and foreign corporations
Ernesto Che Guevara used the havana as a symbol of national revolu-
tionary pride.

had. cigar industry extended their con-
gratulations to the Revolutionary
Government. But as a true Marxist
Revolution, the Cuban Government
enacted a series of reforms to favor the
Clases Poputares. The cigar industry,
much of which had been .American
owned, was nationalized to ensure that
the production and distnbution of cig-
ars would, from then on. tie dictated by
the needs of the people.
The I'nited States, under its ambi
tiously imperiaii.stic President John K.
Kennedy, attempted to overthrow the
Cuban revolution in .April. 1961. in the
Bay of Pigs fiasco. CLA trained and sup-
ported troops were crushed by the Cuban
army in a matter of hours and the Inited
States was again humiliated and defeated.
In a typical act of petulant revenge,
Kennedy decided to try to impoverish
the Cuban people by banning
.Americans from trading with or travel-
ing to Cuba. But first he sent his
flunkies combing Washington. DC. to
hoard as many llavanas as they could
snatch up. .According to Pierre
Jialinger. a key aid to President John F.
Kennedy, he specifically demanded that
all H. I'pmann cigars, his favorites, in
the city be purchased for him. By the
end of the day, Kennedv had hoarded
1.20(1 Petite I'pmanns alum. The next
day. he signed the embargo into effect,
secure in his own supply.

esteem in which they are held, rollers
may smoke as many havanas as they can
and can take home five cigars per day.
One classic tradition that remains
prevalent in cigar factories, dating back
to 1864. IS the institution of the Lector.
or reader, who reads aloud news or fic-
tion to the rollers as they work. The
lector IS selected by his or her fellow
rollers for the strength and quality of
voice, and is rewarded directly by the
listeners.
World famous havana brand names
have emerged from this tradition, such
as the favorite book of one group of
rollers: The Count of .Montecnsto.
which gave birth to the .Montecristo
brand. .More importantly, it was in the
galenas of rollers, from the mouths of
lectors, that the first public discourse
of revolution against Spain and the
I'nited States began.
.Along with other aspects of national
society, the Cuban cigar industry flour-
ished throughout the l%<>s and 1970s.
.At the time of the re\'olution in 1959.
Cuba exported a mere 30 million cig-
ars. Today Cuba exports over 100 mil-
lion cigars, with the "lion's share" of
production, over 250 million enjoyed
by the Cuban people themselves.
However, with the collapse of Cuba's
major trading partner and diplomatic
ally, the Soviet I'nion. in the late
1980s, and the subsequent collapse in
incoming foreign exchange, the impor-
tance of the cigar industry as source of
revenue grew tremendously. Today,
cigar exports account for the second
largest source of foreign exchange for
Cuba, .second only to tourism.
Perhaps it is fitting that, at the
moment of their greatest need. Cubans
should be in part sustained by the
external demand for one of their artis-
tic and aesthetic triumphs.
The leader of the Cuban revolution.
El Comandante. Fidel Castro has been
careful to point out both the economic
and cultural importance of cigars for
the Cuban people.
It IS significant that he chose to
break years of silence in the l'. S. press
with a recent interview with Cigar
.A/icionado magazine.
In the interview. Castro explained
the cultural importance of cigars for
the Cuban people: "The cigar has made
our count r>' famous. It has given pres-
tige to our country ... The cultivation
and choosing the leaves for the cigars
are really an art. And then making the
cigar IS really beautiful. It also relates
ven' much to the histor>' of Cuba and
the struggle for independence of Cuba."
Castro pointed out.
That history dates back before the
arrival of Columbus in the "new world."
In fact. Cohiba. the flagship marque of
the Cuban cigar industry, was named by
Castro himself and was the name the
indigenous Tainos gave to the tobacco
plant. The word cigar originates from
the .Mayan word for smoking: sikar.
The cigar was also used in
Moctezuma's court, although it was a
thick, aromatic torch powerful enough
to quickly induce sleep. Cigars also had
a place in medicine and religion,
smoked by priests during ceremonies.
C0O«Tf SVWfSrvKW «(SS
A volunteer woman cane cutter in the Oriente Province pauses to
smoke a havana.
The excellent volume The Cigar
Companion by Anwer Bati provides an
invaluable sketch of the historical
importance of cigars to Cuban society.
"It was a different story in Cuba,
where the cigars became a national
symbol. Cuban peasants started becom-
ing regueros. tobacco growers, from
the 16th century onwards, waging a
constant battle against big land owners
as exports of the corp grew. Some of
them became tenant farmers or share-
croppers, while others were forced to
tlnd new land to farm, opening up areas
such as Pmar del Ri'o and Oriente.
By the mid-19th centur>'. by which
time there was free trade in tobacco,
there were 9.500 plantations, and facto-
ries in Havana and other cities sprang
up (at one stage, there were as many as
1.300. though there were only about
120 by the beginning of the 20th cen-
tury). Cigar production had become a
fully fledged industry. Export was
mainly to the United States until tariff
barriers were put up in 1857. During
the same period, brand and size differ-
entiation began, and the cigar box and
band were introduced."
.Many cigar workers migrated to
.Mexico. Tampa. Key West. The
Dominican Republic. Venezuela and
Honduras as consolidation and monop-
olization took hold in the Cuban cigar
industry. From these places, where
they also set up cigar manufacturing,
these patriotic exiles became key play-
ers in the freedom struggle against
Spam. Jose .Marti sent the order for the
armed struggle to commence from Key
West, inside a cigar.
From that time forward, cigar work-
ers would play a major role in Cuban
social and political life, supporting the
fight against General Batista and the
I'nited States, which owtwd most of the
Cuban cigar industry. Both Fidel Castro
and Che Guevara consciously used cig-
ars as a populist symbol to appeal to the
common people in Cuba, a nationalist
gesture that remains a definitive icon of
the great period of struggle and the
heady das's of early popular gov'emment.
Now. as the revolution is threatened
by the continuous attack of American
economic warfare, it is fitting that
these self-5ame cigar workers, includ-
ing the rollers and those grow the
tobacco, should be at the forefront, not
only of a great symbol of national pride,
but an instrument of national survival.

International ballet returns to UMass
By Seemo P. Gar>golirkar
Collegian Slott
I bullicncc and youthful impul>c lake center stage as the
Ballet Nacional De Caracas returns to the Fine Arts
Center on Oct. 22 at 7 p.m. in what is sure to be a spec-
tacular performance.
The Ballet Nacional De Caracas was found in 1980 in
its official headquarters, the Teresa Carrcno Theatre of
Caracas The company boasts the youngest talents to be
found in \ enezucla: dancers who modeled in \'cnezucla's
most important ballet schools and whose qualities and
resources have been cultivated by well renown ballet mas-
ters such as Nina Novak. Karen Von Aroldingen and )ohn
Clifford.
During its first four years, the Ballet was oriented
towards an exclusively classical repertory. Important
personalities of the ballet world were guests of the com-
pany — Rudolf Nuyerev and Ekaterina Maximova were
among the stars of the ballet world who danced with the
Ballet.
In 1984, Ellas Perez Borjas. a well-known Venezuelan
personality in the local ballet world, took over as general
of the Theatre Carreno and invited Vincentc Ncbrada. an
internationally known choreographer, to focus on the
artistic direction of the company. Nebrada succeeded in
giving the company an idenlilving and unique style. More
importantly. Nebrada aimed at better use of the energy
and talent of the dancers by selecting a mixed repertory
which would point out their dynamic qualities and their
artistry.
For their FAC performance, the Ballet will perform four
pieces. "A Handel Celebration." choreographed by
Nebrada will use excepts from Handel's "The Royal
Fireworks" and "Water Music." "Late in the Afternoon,"
with choreography by Alberto Mcndez is a ballet that
reconstructs the atmosphere of the early 19(H)s through
four women. Esperanza, Dulce, Solcdad and Consuelo
who submerge into a dream-like state where they examine
their lives.
'Gemini" is a powerful and acrobatic ballet for two
men. The ballet examines the intimate relationship of the
two dancers and celebrates the beauty of the male body.
"Fever." another piece by Ncbrada. is danced to Latin
American popular music sung by sensual vocalist La
Lupe. Four couples meld with the seductive music and
become the embodiment of Latin soul.
Tickets for this performance are $27. $23 and $18 with
S5 for Five College students. Tickets for children 17 and
under are $10 For tickets or more information, please call
the Fine Arts Center Bar Office at 545-2511 or

Forbidden pleasures: A brief
guide to Cubans greatest cigars
A distant drpam fnr mnct ^ma^ir--.^ / l _ _ i _ i _ n i*- ^ _i_ i_ _ _ _ i 1 1 _ i »*
Thursday, October 19, 199.S / Page 9
A distant dream for most American
smokers, the ethereal Havana hovers
tantalizingly just out of reach.
For the last two hundred years.
"Havana" has been synonymous with
the apex of the art of cigar manufac-
ture. In spite of improvements by other
producers. Havanas. with their
unmatched subtlety and complexity,
remain unparalleled.
Here in the "land of the free." of
course, American cigar smokers
are denied access by their govern-
ment to these unrivaled smokes,
under threat of fines and prison.
Elsewhere, however, smokers
are free to enjoy these extraordi-
nary products of Cuban culture
and the communist government
under which it flourishes.
The great revolutionary hero,
Fidel Castro, an avid cigar smoker,
took a keen interest in cigars, both
as a cultural and aesthetic tri-
umph, as well as a profitable
export.
Castro was instrumental in the
creation of the flagship brand of
the Cuban cigar industry — the
legendary Cohiba.
These cigars, which undergo a
unique triple fermentation, were
created as Castro's personal brand
for his own consumption and for
diplomatic gifts to foreign dignitaries,
but were released for sale to the public
during the 1982 World Cup m Spain.
Particularly associated with Castro
and the famous diplomatic gift boxes is
the long and slender Cobiba Lancero. a
panatella seven and a half inches long
by 37 ring gauge. It is renown for its
smooth, leathery and rich flavor, and
the distinctive twist of leaf at the end of
the cigar. Some observers have noted
that, of late, Lanceros have been occa-
sionally found to be a little tightly
rolled, however.
Two other famous sizes of Cohiba
also stand out among Havanas. The
Churchill-sized Esplendido. a spicy but
surprisingly mild larger cigar and the
world famous Robusto. a short fat cigar
packed with an extraordinarily complex
explosion of taste.
The Cohiba Robusto led the Robusto
size into a position of great popularity
in the early nineties, since the short
and fat size combined the complexity of
a larger ring gauge cigar with the rela-
tively short smoking time of a smaller
one.
Other superb robustos include the
Bolivar Royal Coronas, perhaps the
most full-bodied and spiciest of all the
Havanas. and the Flor de Cano Short
Churchill, a very subtle, velvety and
nutty bombshell. The Rey Del Mundo
Robusto boasts a delicate yet highly
textured floral flavor, and sports one of
the thinest wrappers on any Havana.
.Another of the most well-known and
esteemed Havanas is the Romeo Y
Julieta Churchill, with its deep choco-
late, coffee and coco flavors, and the
individual aluminum tubes in which
most of them are sold.
Like many other brands, Romeo Y
Julieta cigars come in an astonishing
variety of sizes, over 25 in this case,
which vary in quality. Some of these
more famous brands also sei
machine-made cigars of much lower
quality than the hand- made ones, so
novices are advised to always look for
the "totalmente a mano" sign on the
bottom of all legitimate boxes of
Havanas.
For many years one of the finest
brands of Havanas was the product of a
f^ OLORiA CQBA/f]
hum ibish
partnership between the Cuban gov-
ernment and the Geneva-based cigar
retailer Zino Davidoff The Davidoff cig-
ars, particularly the "Chateau" series
named after famous first-growth
Bordeaux wines, and above all the
impressive "Dom Perignon." remain
among the most respect of Havanas.
After Zino sold his company to a
group of investors, however, Davidoff
broke its arrangement with Cuba and
mo^d its operations to the Dominican
Republic. The resulting cigars,
although manufactured with no
expense spared, have been, like all
non-Havanas. decidedly inferior and of
interest only in the Havana starved
American market.
Many of Davidoffs best cigars were
manufactured in collaboration with the
Hoyo de .Monterrey brand, whose own
cigars are also considered to be of the
highest level of achievement.
M'hile Cohiba is touted as the quality
flagship of Havanas S.A.. the Cuban
national cigar company, many would
argue that Hoyo de Monterrey in fact
produces both more consistently excel-
lent cigars as well as the very finest
Havanas of all.
In particular, the Hoyo de Monterrey
Double Corona, one of the largest
Havanas. has a large and vocal group of
supporters, including the influential
Marvin Shanken. publisher of Cigar
.Wcionado magazine, who insist that
this is the finest Havana currently
manufactured. With very unusual fla-
vors of nutmeg, cinnamon and allspice,
as well as oak and leather, and one of
the most beautiful wrappers of all, few
have argued with this assessment.
Other sizes of Hoyo de Monterrey
also seldom disappoint, characterized
by outstanding dark, rich wrappers and
astonishing complexity of flavors and
earthy aftertastes.
If Cohiba and Hoyo de Monterrey
vie for the position of most outstanding
brand. Montecristo is undoubtedly the
most widely available and the flagship
of quantity for Havanas. S. A.
The distinctive tangy and full-bodied
flavor which characterize most sizes of
Montecristo has proven appealing to a
wide variety of smokers. Most notable
are the unusual "torpedo" shaped
no. 2. a much sought-after
Figurado, the small but delicious
no. 4. which is one of the richest
small Havanas. and the mammoth
Montecristo .A. a colossal nine and
a quarter inches long by 47 ring
gauge, the largest Havana of them
all. The superb Especial no. 2. a
pencil thin medium length
panatella, is a wonderful quick
smoke, especially for mornings,
given its light, floral, citrus flavors
and easy draw.
In contrast to the ubiquitous
Montecristo. the little known Flor
de Raphael Gonzales brand is
rarely found but remains a byword
for mildness among Havanas. The
Gonzales Lonsdale, while only
medium-sized still the largest in
this brand, is highly esteemed for
a remarkable combination of rich-
ness and mildness, with subtle
complexity.
Among the other large and well
known brands of Havanas are Punch.
Partagas and H. I'pmann.
Punch's short, fat masterpiece, a
corona gorda called the Punch Punch,
has creamy, nutty and ceder flavors
that have ensured that it remains
anrang the most beloved Havanas. with
a sizable group of de^xitees who argue
for its preeminence. The Punch Double
Corona is also one of the finest large
Havanas, with similar flavors.
Partagas is best represented by the
famous 8-9-8, which describes the
number of cigars in each layer of the
three tiered box in which they are
packaged, the aim being to perfectly
retain their rounded shape. This rich
Lonsdale carries the distinctive nutty,
chewy and very full-bodied Partagas
flavor, perhaps the most distinctive of
all marques.
The exception is the Partagas Senes
D.. a group of small, fat cigars with the
darkest wrappers among Havanas.
almost black. They are so full bodied
that many find their flavor somewhat
bitter, especially in the aftertaste.
Like Partagas. Punch. Montecristo
and Romeo V Julieta. the H. Upmann
marque contains a large variety of sizes
with a big variation in quality between
them. The Upmann corona is consid-
ered by many the finest in the corona
group, small "basic-sized" cigars,
which is the most common size of all
handmade cigars, including Havanas.
Another notable I'pmann is the
Culebra. perhaps the most
unusually-shaped Havana, consisting
of three smaller cigars twisted around
each other to form one larger one.
Other extreme Havanas have included
the tiny Bolivar Delgado under one
and a half inches long, and the Visible
Turn to HAVANA page 10

Quality cigars readily on hand
United States relies on Dominican Republic for cigar supply
While Americans are denied the true cigar experience, the
Havana, local smokers can still access some interesting am'
enjoyable cigars.
The quality of manufacture in nations other than Cuba.
especially the Dominican
Republic, has been steadily
increasing due to the efforts of a
number of dedicated producers
who are heavily funded by the
large American market. Indeed,
premium cigar manufacturers
outside Cuba have been the pri-
mary beneficiaries of the new fad
for quality cigars sweeping the
United States.
Preeminent among these pro-
ducers IS Arturo Fuente, a
Dominican enterprise that has
come closest to approaching the
quality of the Havana. Although
still significantly inferior.
Fuente's best cigars are undoubt-
edly excellent and sell well even
European markets side by side
with Havanas.
Fuente makes a large range of
cigars of varying quality, from rel-
atively cheap smokes to the
expensive and long- awaited, and
still largely unavailable "Chateau
Fuente" series featuring a newly
developed red wrapper.
Fuente's real mark has been made, though with the
"Hemingway" series, a range of mid prices cigars capped and

tapered at both ends and with an excellent flavor. The
"reserve especial" senes is even more outstanding, although
expensive, and is usually found in Robusto and Corona Ino.
3) sizes.
Other Dominican manufacturers
that produce excellent cigars
include Paul Gamarian. whose larg-
er cigars are mild and satisfying.
Avo. Fonseca, which has an excel-
lent creamy flavor and good value.
Temple Hall, Partagas and Davidoff,
which IS considered overpriced but
produces a lovely Robusto.
Honduran cigars have been
increasing in quality led by very
good products from the Cuba
Aliados marque.
In the late 70s. Cigars from
Nicaragua, especially Hoyo de
Nicaragua, were considered the best
alternatives to Havanas. but
declined in quality greatly through-
out the 1980s. However, trends
indicate a major comeback for both
Hoyo de Nicaragua and N'icaraguan
cigars in general.
Another notable non Cuban
cigar is the famous La Gloria
Cubana. a Miami cigar named after
the famous Havana brand La
Glorias are very rich and satisfying,
especially the larger sizes such as the Charlemagne or colos-
sal Pyramid and are noted as the best value fur money among
non Cuban cigars. As a re.sult, they are not always available.
A number of local outlets stock these cigars, but generally
the more distant locations have a better selection.
The Amherst Newsroom at 108 North Pleasant St. and
l.izzote's Tobacco Shop. 76 Main St.. Northampton, slock
limited selections of cigars, usually including at least a few
premium non -Cubans, although tfiey may be a little dry.
A hltle further afield. The Phoenix Tobacconist at 1676
Main Street. Springfield, has recently renovated and should
prove a haven for Valley smokers. The interior cigar room is
beautifully decorated, contains humidors filled with excellent
non-Cubans, and provides a gracious atmosphere for pur
chasing and smoking cigars, as well as a number of humi
dors, cutters, cases, lighters and other accessories.
Owner Leon Vallone offers humidor locker space at rea
sonable rates for those who wish to leave their cigars to
age in humidified Spanish ceder drawers. He has also host
fd. through his "Downtown Cigar Club." number of ele
gant cigar dinners in local establishments, bringing lumi-
naries such as Arturo Fuente. Jr. to mingle with Valley
cigar smokers. Vallone says he has noted a resurgence of
interest among college students not only in cigar but also
in pipes and pipe tobacco, which he also provides.
A number of local estaolishmenls allow for the enjoyment
of cigars, in particular Downstairs at Mulino's, 21 Center
Street. Northampton and the Old Amherst Ale House at 46(1
West St., Amherst, which is also Route 1 16.

THE MASSACHUSETTS DAILY COLLEGIAN
Measuring a good cigar: the long &. the short of it
A crucial asptcl to the differences between cigars is
the question of size and girth. Ungth and ring gauge
measure the differences in sizes, and the resulting
disparities in complexity and characteristics of flavor.
Ring gauge is calculated in 64ths of an inch, meaning
that a 32 nng gauge would be half an inch wide, and a
50 ring gauge would be 50/64ths of an inch wide.
Fatter cigars tend to have more complex blends
than thinner ones, with more room to marry substan-
tial quantities of each leaf variety. Longer cigars
Gran Panatela 7.5 inches by 38 ring gauge
Churchill 7 inches by 47 ring gauge
Corona 5.5 inches by 42 ring gauge
Robusto 5 inches by 50 ring gauge
Petit Corona 5 inches by 32 ring gauge
Panatela 4.5 inches by 26 ring gauge
develop their flavors more than shorter ones, since
cigars' qualities change as they are smoked.
The Panatela is one of the shortest and thinnest of
the havanas, measuring 4.5 inches by 26 ring gauge.
These tend to be favored in the early morning hours,
for a quick smoke, or by many young ladies who
increasingly enjoy havanas.
The Petit Corona is slightly larger, five inches by 36
ring gauge. Again, a quick smoke for earlier in the
day. rather than at night or after a heavy meal.
Mellow and medium bodied flavors tend to predomi-
nate.
The Robusto is a veritable bombshell, short and fat,
5 inches long by 50 ring gauge. This has been
described as a "power lunch" cigar, a quick blast of
intense flavors, which tend to the most spicy,
full-bodied character. These are among the most pop-
ular and esteemed cigars.
The Corona is the "basic" cigar size. 5 1/2 inches by
42 ring gauge. More Coronas as made than any other
size, since it represents both the prefect compromise
between large and small sizes and the most popular
size among consumers.
The Churchill size, named after the English politi-
cian who favored them, measure seven inches by 47
ring gauge. They are among the most complex and
rich of cigars and typically take well over an hour to
smoke. Many of the most beloved havanas are this
size, which can be described as big, but not too big.
The Gran Panatela. at 7 1/2 inches long by 38 ring
gauge is one of the longest sizes manufactured. The
length of the Gran Panatela allows for the cigar to
pass through many stages of evolving flavor. Castro
favored this size during his many years of passionate
cigar smoking.
The Double Corona, unfortunately not shown here,
is the largest size of havana manufactured by a num-
ber of marques. It is an vast experience of a cigar,
measuring, as it does. 7 l/8th inches long by 49 ring
gauge. Many very experienced smokers find this the
most satisfying of sizes, combining both length and
girth to allow for both maximum complexity of flavor
from the width, as well as a long slow evolution of fla-
vor as the cigar is smoked down its length.

Havana

Pedro Luis Cejas is one of the star rollers at the Partagas factory in La
Havana where Cohiba Esplendidos are nnanufactured.
Inmensn, 18 inches long by 47 ring
gauge, which were made especially
for the preposterous King Farouk of
Egypt.
But for the most coveted, and
rarest. Havana of all we have to
return to the great figure of Fidel
Castro, under whose wise leadership
the Cuban cigar industry, like the rest
of the state, has been turned to the
.service of the people. After releasing
the Cohiba to general sale in 1982,
Castro commissioned the creation of
an even greater cigar: "the selection
of the selection of the selection."
Although Castro himself gave up
smoking as an example to the youth
of Cuba, which he describes as 'my
greatest sacrifice for the revolution."
the need was perceived for a special
cigar for diplomatic gifts in the ser-
vice of the nation.
A long, slim panatella. the same
size as the Cohiba Lancero and with
the same twist of leaf at the end,
.sports a simple gold band with black
letters reading "Trinidad." The
Trinidad remains the most
sought-after Havana, although the
only boxes sold to date have been at
well-heeled auctions in Paris to bene-
fit Cuban medical programs.
For now, though, the Trinidad
remains as unattainable for most
cigar smokers as the basic Havana is
for Americans.
A handful of professors and jour-
nalists are able to legally go to Cuba
and enjoy Havanas and bring a small
number back, but for most Americans
the only way they can enjoy Havanas
IS to break the law by smuggling
them into this country.
In the end, the only solution for
Americans who appreciate this flower
of Cuban culture is to work to break
down the laws that restrict them
from trading with and travelling to
Cuba.
If all the moral arguments have
failed over the years to build substan-
tial opposition to the economic war
against Cuba, at least some
Amencans seem to be .starting to see
that they too are harmed by these
indefensible restrictions, and that it is
in no ones interest to build walls
between peoples.
Until this country decides to live in
a normal, peaceful relationship with
Cuba, however, most .\mericans will
have to continue to regard the
Havana as a distant, mysterious and
legendary pleasure which they are not
allowed to enjoy.

Heaven sent rapper returns
"Sup peoples.
The lyricist sent by God is back
to remind us that we arc mere stu-
dents. He does not proclaim to be
the king of rap. or ruler of any
kind. He walks over mortal man
slaying M.C.s in his path. He
appeared on the hip hop scene in
1987 to redefine rap as poetry.
South Bronx was the place, under-
ground was the
station.
College and
pirate radio
spread the
news, like col-
lege students
with nothing
to do. In 1988
he let the hip
hop nation hear his philosophy on
rap. The strong Rude Uwoy sound
integrated with hip hop (both
from the same origin) is heard in
his work.
After the death of Scott
LaRock. his rap status went
through high and low times. His
lyrical ability was never ques-
tioned (burying MC Shane for
life). He stands tall for ihe uplifl-
ment of the black race even when
brothers and sisters do not want
to hear the message. He knows the
message lives longer than the
flesh, which reminds me of the
time I watched him on the Arsenio
Hall Show. Arsenio asked him
what one of his goals was for the
future. He responded (shockingly
lo me), "to be a billionaire."
fie may not be a billionaire, but
he is worth more to most music
industry artists and fans, if you
were to tally the amount of people
that were influenced by him and
total their earnings from the music
industry, that number should be
well over a billion Some albums
did very well. Some albums
flopped. His current album. KRS
OSE. is the bomb. You betta rec-
ognize.
It all started
on the 15ih
floor of
C oo I i d ge ,
brothers were
previewing the
new album. A
spark from the
other side of
the room lit
ihc llanie. which ignited the knowl-
edge needed to prcview the album
tairly. After the first song everyone
in the room said reeewind, than
(one after another) we were hit
with bombs. Every brother in the
room found themselves question-
ing thcHr religion again. The album
should be named The Calling. I
sometimes refer to hip hop music
(and La) as medicine, and its
proven that all real hip hop fans
will need a dose o( KRS.

Fine Arts Center Concert Holl
Oct 17
On Tuesday night the Fine Arts
Center Concert Hall hosted the Guitar
Summit featuring four living legends
— Kenny Burrell. lorma Kaukonen.
Manuel Barrueco and Sieve Morse.
Kenny Burrell greeted the audience
and told the crowd "to prepare for an
evening of exciting guitar playing,
diverse styles and all kinds of tunes."
Burrell began his performance by dis-
playing his jazz prowess on the
acoustic guitar.
When Burrell swritched guitars his
playing shifted more towards the
blues. He then played "Be Yourself" a
Duke Ellington tunc. Burrell finished
the performance with an original
composition that was recorded by the
late Steve Ray Vaughan.
The next performer was lorma
Kaukonen. a former member of the
Jefferson Airplane. Kaukonen created
a unique sound on the acoustic guitar
by using a thumbpick. which allows
more fingers to strike the strings.
His intense style evoked chcxTs and
requests from the packed audience.
Kaukonen played one of the lefl'erson
Airplanes signature inslrumenials
"Embryonic loumc-y" lo great applause.
.After the iniemiission cla.ssical gui
tarist Manuel Barrueco took the stage.
Barrueco held the guitar in the classi-
cal style, keeping it on his right leg lo
free his left hand for easier movement.
Barrueco played classical versions
"Old Friends" and "Lucy In the Sky
with Diamonds " His technical ability
dazzled plavcrs and appreciators alike.
Sieve Morse emerged and was the
only performer to do his set standing
up. Morse said, "I am very honored
to be on the same stage as these
guys." He then invited Barrueco back
on stage for a duel.
Later he reached for his electrical
guitar. Morse was accompanied by a
small technological army, including
digital delay and a synthesizer which
altered sound of his guitar. They
managed to slip some rock 'n' roll
into the show.
The crowd received a surprise bonus
as all four performers joined forces
together for a combination effort. They
returned lo the stage for three encoas
to the delight of the crowd.

Strong, who originally entered the UniverMtv on a partial
basketball scholarship. "At that time we had no scholar
ships lor field hockey, and to be successful was really an
accomplishment."
Strong has turned a Division III Smith learn around
The squad was J- 1 J when she became coach and has
since made it to the NCAA lournameni.
-I get a lot out of my players. Thev believe in me and
themselves. Thai's exactly what Pam did to us." Strong
said.
Some of UMass" more recent graduates have also
moved on to coaching.
Tara jellcy. a second team All-Ameriean her senior sea-
son in 1993. is currently a graduate assistant coach at
Springfield College. Colleen Duffy, a four-year letter win-
ner from 91 to 94. is currently serving as" an assistant at
.Amherst College while she finishes her last semester as a
student at UMass.
"I love coaching.- lelley said, "il bridges the gap
between coaching and playing."
"Coaching really fell inio my lap," Duffy said. "Every
day you see progress and it is so rewarding.' It is the most
Catterton
amazing feeling."
Both assistant coaches give a lot of credit to their
coaches ai UMass and the Massachusetts system.
"From Pam I learned the importance of motivation and
discipline." Dully said. "From Megan I learned lo let the
players be tree and creative, but guide them when ihey
need it."
"Playing here was such a positive experience." lelley
said. "I try to give my players the same thing, a posi-
tive experience, while improving and learning."
For current coach Donnelly, she has now come full
circle, from leading UMass on the field, lo leading the
Minutewoinen from the sidelines.
"At first, coming back was weird." she said.
"Coaching here is a great honor. This program is very
important to me. and I want to lake care of it as best I
can."
"There is still a great part of my heart that is still with
the program." DeAngelis agrees.
The UMass tradition lives on.

is the starting quarterback role.
Perhaps sooner than he mighl have
expected, but a goal he has strived
for all along. After the first four
games of the season. UMass was an
average 2-2, and had nol produced
the offense they are capable of.
After a 51-0 shellacking over Holy
Cross in the second week of the sea-
son. Campanile and the Minuiemen
started lo lake some lumps Thev
squeaked by a solid Northeastern
squad 21-19 on the hard turf of
Parson's field Then they were heal in
every way possible the following
Saturday at Rhode Island, falling
34-0. Campanile was hurting,
prompting Hodges to make the
move.
The job belonged lo Catterton
indefinitely.
"iCattcrton'sj the guy. It's his job.
I'm not going to have him looking
over his shoulder every week jusi like
I told jCampanilel thai." Hodges
said. "The reason jCampanilel came
out probably more than anything, is
his physical condition. His arm is
sore, his knee hurls and he's not
capable of doing the things he can do
because he's not ItX) percent. V\hen
we gel him 100 percent, we'll see
what happens.
"Anthony is doing the job and
it's his offense, his job right
now."
In Calterton's first collegiate start.
the nervous but excited quarterback
faced New Hampshire at home.
Catterton threw for 89 yards, includ-
ing his first career touchdown pass.
UMass fell to the Wildcats 32 29.
but many good things came out of
the game for the young qiiarterback.
"I wanted to go out there and play
hard. I was really excited because it's
something you look forward to.
something I worked hard for all sum-
mer I wanted lo win and get us back
on the winning side." Catterton said.
"There was a lot of things that I
didn't do. hut there were a lot of
things that I did do. I'lji never satis-
lied with one of my games because I
always look al the negatives I think
I did okay lor my first collegiaie
sian "
Last Saturday. Catterton and his
Minuiemen traveled to Buffalo lo
lace the Bulls in a game where
severe rain played a major facior
Catterton led his team to victory
completing only one pass. UMass
won 33-9. but the statistics are
deceiving as lour accuralely-lhrown
balls were dropped or deflected
because of the bad weather.
"I think .Anthony did a fine job
Saturday. He was l-of-7 in the first
half, we got lo pick il up and catch
Ihe football." Hodges said. "He gels
better every single week. He's calm
now. you can talk to him. he can
make adjustments. He's going lo get
nothing but better."
Catterton has learned a great deal
from his fellow quarterbacks. He's
McNeilly's roommate, a senior who
knows what il lakes to be a winning
quarterback al UMass. Catterton has
been able to take advantage of what
McNeilly has lo offer as a leader of
the team.
He has also lot.)ked to Campanile
(or advice at times, just as Campanile
looked lo McNeilly or Catterton for
pointers when he was starting. No
tension exists between the three
quarterbacks competing for the same
job. They are all happy — as long as
they are winning.
"Me and Andrew are really good
friends. There has never been any-
thing negative between us. He just
wants to win." Catterton said. "A
couple of weeks ago. he got up and
gave the team a speech just
because he wanted to win. I have
learned a lot from Andrew and
Vilo. I really look to those guys lor
advice.
"If I do something wrung. I go to
one of those guys and ask them
what they felt I did wrong. When
Vilo was starting and I saw some-
thing I thought would help him. I
would tell him We help each other
out a lot and we have a mutual
respect."
Catterton comes to UMass from
Orlando. Fla.. where he played hi'-
loolball in constant warm weather
for Boone High School. Catterton
turned down an opportunity to play
defensive back for the Purdue
Boilermakers to come lo New
England and run the Minuicman
offense.
"I wanted lo be a quarterback
and I felt comfortable at UMass. I
have relatives in the area. I'm gel-
ling used lo the cold." Catterton
said laughing.

will be the only tests left on their
schedule.
The Big-IO's Ohio St is No. 4 in
the AP Poll and Michigan looks lo
be the only team with any real shot
at beating the Buckeyes.
That would set up a national
championship game in the Rose
Bowl. Don't go thea-. there are still
other unbeatens that have a real
chance of saying unbeaten and
snagging the Bowl Alliance
Nebraska is undefeated but siill

THE MASSACHUSETTS DAILY COLLEGIAN
Solid recruiting helps crew
By Douglas Dowling Jr.
Collegian Correspondeni
Recruiting went cxccplionally well for ihc
Massai-'husctis women's crew this year. It began at the end
of last season with letters being sent to a number of lunior
National team rowers, but the bulk of the recruiting took
place in the beginning of this fall by the varsity rowers on
the UMass campus.
The large majority of the novice team, as in the past.
is comprised of non-experienced rowers. Yet Deanna
Runeman. the novice head coach, believes they will get
even a larger number of experienced rowers next year.
The novice team started out with well over 1 50 rowers,
but were forced to cut back to 80 people after the first
wcvk. due to lack of equipment.
"^e had a lot of very athletic women this year and we
had a hard time choosing." said Wendy Wilber. the novice
assistant coach.
This huge addition to the women's crew makes it the
largest women's team on campus. That is not to mention
the addition of two new coaches. Wilber and |cnn
Sacheck. which really made a difference in this recruiting
year.
'"We have more coaches to spend lime with the team,
which has helped to keep the quality and number of peo-
ple," Runeman said.
The only limiting factor the team now faces is the lack
of boats to train and race all the new rowers. Runeman is
very happy with the progress her rowers have made so far.
"We have a very strong group and they arc picking
things up very quickly," Runeman said.
The novice team has had no races yet this season,
but will test itself for the first time on Oct. 28 at
Dartmouth. The only other planned race of the season
for the novice team is the Foot of the Charles Regatta
in Boston on Nov, 1 I. with the hopes of a home race
being scheduled scimelime between those two race-;

that's not likely to happen because of
Joseph's contract.
So where does Cujo go'.' I really
hope the rest of the league doesn't
think that he's not good enough for
them if he wasn't good enough for
Keenan. There is a slew of teams —
Winnipeg. Los Angeles, the Islanders.
Ottawa. San lose — which would
benefit by acquiring loseph. The
Senators might offer up estranged
star Alexei Yashin. Here's hoping
someone realizes Curtis loseph is way
too good to keep out of the net.
• Here's something you'd better
get used to: my rescues of various
teams' and players' images from the
savage pen of one of my colleagues,
who shall remain nameless. Anyway.
Nameless called the Tampa Bay
Lightning a team with no redeeming
qualities. Ouch. Let's sec. a consistently
excellent goalie (Darren Puppa), the
league's inosi promising \uung ciffensiw
defense-man (Roman Hamriiki, a quin-
tet ot \er>alile scoring threats i|olin
Cullen, Petr Kllma, Chris Craiion.
Brian Bradlev and Brian Bellows) and
an acconif>lished. msightlul head coach
(Terry Crisp. cx»ch of the 1989 Stanley
Cup champion Calgary Flames). Not to
mention unwavering fan support in the
cavernous ThunderDome. That's five.
Nameless. You wanna drop the gloves
on this one?
One more: You'll notice I didn't
include Philadelphia on my list of
teams in need of a goalie, as did
Nameless. Hold on, there will be no
defense of Ron Hextall here. I'm
talking about Dominic Rous>scl In
his first Stan of the year, he pitched a
19-save shutout of the Islanders.
Last season, he racked up stunningly
stingy numbers. This season, given
the lime, he'll do the same.
Trade that should happen:
Edmonton sending Miro&lav Satan to
the Devils.
Taking a page from the NBA's
book, the NHL has sought to itKrease
scoring and, in turn, generate fan
intea-st. Ii'> working. Penalties aplen-
ty for various forms of obstruction
have yielded a record number ol
power plays and some real bam- burn-
ing scores. Check out the last two
Bruins' tills, a 6-b tie at San lose and
a t>- 5 loss at Dallas, noteworthy for
more depressing reasons. (If you don't
already know, don't ask.)
Vancouver was expected to pot
pucks regularly since it signed the
1995-94 co-goal scoring champ.
Alexander Mogilny. who is at least
Sputnik il Pavel Bure is the Russian
Rocket. The Canucks are scoring, but
they've also been scored on. 18 limes
in their first three games. They did
salvage a 3-3 tie with the Kings
Saturday, interesting in thai the
teams only had five power plays com-
bined, which is bound to be a record
low for 1995-96. They also skated to
a 7-7 draw Thursday in which there
were many more whistles.

continued from page 16
1. Orlando Magic: So much. So fast. Look out.
there's more to come ... yes, Shaq has been taking
karate, but has he been working on his free throws
(58.3 percent last season)',' Aniernee Hardaway is
probably the premier point guard in the league and is
only entering his third year. Hold on ... the Magic
improved their bench greatly by stealing David
Vaughn in the draft and adding the "ever reliable" Ion
Contract ... I mean Koncak. The Magic are the real
thing and being swept in the finals has only made a
hungry team hungrier
2. New York Knicks: Hmmm ... What can I say?
Nelson is in and Riley is out. The style will be different
but (unfortunately) will produce the same result.
Anthony Mason will start at small forward in replacing
Charles Smith, who becomes the sixth-man. Nelson
will look to run but il may take awhile before the
Knicks catch up. Younger players Doug Christie.
Monty Williams and Charlie Ward will provide fresh
legs for the veterans. If this team adapts to Nellie's sys-
tem they could give the Magic a tough time.
5. Philadelphia 76ers: If the Sixers make the play-
offs ihis year, they can thank the Clippers for letting
Tar Heel stud lerry Stackhouse slip into their hands.
Their is no question the Sixers needed altitude and.
boy. did they find il in the off-season. The additions of
(ex-Sun) Richard iiumas and Vernon Maxwell will
help, but the key element here is Shawn Bradley.
Kradley came on strong in the second-half last season
but must slay out ol foul la>uble to be efftxtive. The
potential is there but there are still a nur.ibcr of ques-
tion marks.
4 Miami Heal: .Attention! Camp Riley has moved
— to Miami. Miami'.' Thai's right Pat Riley is now
coach, president and part owner of the hapless Heal. It
won't lake long for Riley to make his mark here as a
number of issues need to be addressed. New additions
Kurt Thomas, Rex Chapman and Pedrag Danilovic will
help, but this team is still a year or two away from con-
tention. Wait 'til next year when they sign Alonzo
Mourning, a free agent in the wailing.
5. Washington Bullets: Yes, the Washington Bullets
could finally start to creep out of the basement. A
frontcourt of Chris Webber (new 6-year, $57 million
deal), luwan Howard and rookie Rashecd Wallace
should make the Bullets an interesting team to watch.
Newly acquired .Mark Price (if-healthy) should solidi-
fy a weak backcourl. This team has depth and if
everyone stays healthy the Bullets could finish as high
as third.
b Boston Celtics: What do you get when you take a
coach with no experience, a frontcourt known more
for who left then who is there, and a backcourl with
no height. Answer'.' ^ou guessed it. Rookies Fric
Williams and lunior Burrough will get minutes in M.L.
Carr's system. Hey. before you know it. Carr may acti-
vate himself.
7 New lerscy Nets: I bet by now Ed O'Bannon is
wishing he Jailed his physical. Not only are the Nets
really bad. they lead the league in MSC (minutes spent
complaining). There is talent in IX-rrick Coleman and
Kenny Anderson, but this team has aboul as much
emotion as cardboard. Personally, I can't wait until
next year when Anderson is a free agent and signs with
the Knicks.
THE CENTRAL DIVISION
I Chicago Bulls: This one is easy. Michael lordan
leels he hav something to prove. Scotlie Pippen has his
old buddy back for a whole year and the Bulls finally
have themselves a rebounder. Not only do they have a
rebounder, they have the rebounder in Dennis
Rodman. If R(.)dman can blend in with lordan & Co.,
and if his new hair blends in with his uniform, the
Bulls will win ihe division.
2 Indiana Pacers: Reggie Miller is nasty. Rik Smits
can play and Larry Brown is still the coach. The Pacers
did a lot of things right last season but there is still one
problem. See Chicago The truth is the Pacers are still
a player away because IX-rrick McKey is just nol the
answer at --mall forward.
3 Charlotte Hornets: Kendall Gill, take two. If L|
and Gill can get along for an entire season. Allan
Brislow might actually save his job. Charlotte finally
got the rebounding help it needed when they drafted
George Zidek of UCLA. If Zidek and 'Zo can go the
Hornets will be buzzing in Charlotte.
4. Milwaukee Bucks: The Big Dog is big time
When the Bucks missed the last playoff spot by one
game last year, they knew they were close. Trading for
Shawn Respert and re-signing Eric Murdoek definite-
ly ktxps the talent strong here. Respert will play big
minutes at both guard spots and Murdoek is the
aggressive player Mike Dunleavy craves. Bottom line:
If second-year center Eric Mobley can pick up where
he left off. the Bucks will finally start to bang with the
big boys.
5. Detroit Pistons: There used to be three things
that represented the Detroit Pistons — intensity,
toughness and athleticism. When Chuck Daly retired,
all those things slowly seemed to slip away. Fear nol
Piston fans. Superstar Grant Hill has some help this
year. Check it out — Intensity = (new GM/Coach)
Doug Collins. Toughness = (UMass great) Lou Roe
and Athleticism = Theo Ratliff (get used to that name,
this guy is good). Well let's see. Grant + I •► T + A
should equal W's for the Pistons, something they
haven't seen in awhile.
6. Cleveland Cavaliers: To many questions here. Is
Terrell Brandon ready to fill the shoes of Mark Price'.'
Can the Cav^ count on Brad Daugheriy now that
they've traded Hoi Rod Williams? Will the real Harold
Miner please step forward? Why did this team trade
for Dan MajeHe? I can keep going but I think you can
get the point.
7. Atlanta Hawks: Lenny Wilkens is trying to con-
vince (GM) Pete Babcock to trade for Derrick
Coleman. Enough said. In a league where showbiz
sells, this team has no flash and little dash. So much
for their new logos. P.S. Second- round pick Donnie
Boyce, if healthy, could be a diamond in the rough.
8. Toronto Raptors: Tchj bad Isiah isn't playing on
this team He did the next best thing, though, in
drafting Damon Sloudamire. a point guard with a
shooter's mentality (much like Isiah). Trading B.j.
Armstrong was the right thing to do and the Raptors
fared well in the expansion draft. However, this is
still an expansion team. The Raptors have been sur-
prising people in the preseason but once reality (and
the regular season) sets in, look for the Raptors to
win 1 5 to 20 games.
Playoff Teams: Orlando. New York, Chicago.
Indiana. Charlotte, Milwaukee, Miami and
Philadelphia.
Eastern Conference Final: Orlando vs. Chicago.
Eastern Conference Champ: Orlando.

Miller saves game with last second goal

The Mii-sdchu^ftts nicnS sotter
team debuted a new warm-up tape
for yesterday's match against
Durtmouth. one which included
Creedence CTearwalei RexiNal's
"Fortunate Son "
Yesterday the
Minutemen were the
fortunate ones.
Despite a lackluster
performance. LMass (IJ-T 2l was
able to escape with a I -0 victory over
a tenacious Big Green {2-'i\ side
when senior defender Brad Miller
scored with just 2'5 sivonds to play
"We were lucky." LMass coach
Sam Kosh said. 'V\e knew what they
were going ti> do and they "till did
exactly that. We just didn't i.\inie lo
play We were very fortunate."
The teams were scoreless into the
match's 40th minute, when
Dartn)uuth':» Methembe Ndlovu
hauled down Mike Butler from
behind about >5 yards out lo the
goaikcvpers right with 'i'i seconds lo
play in regulation.
Dave Siljanovski calmly set up ihe
free- kick and lofted a perfect serve
over the Big Green defen'-e right onto
Miller's head beside the far post.
Miller flicked th; ball into an open
net securing a LMass victory in
thrilling tashion.
"I'Fhe plan was to] ju^t put it on
his head and score." Koch s^id
"That's what he'^ K-en doing With

was a beautiful serve and a great fin-

"I knew it was going lo be the last
play of the game." Siljanovski said.
"The goalie was taking every oiie of
my free kisk" So I tried to keep it
awav and float it to the ba>.k because
either Karsien or Brad will be there."
"It wa-- all Silianvnski." Miller
added. "He hit" the most perfect ball
of anyone I know in thi" league.

UMass record for assists in a season
formerly held by Kurt Manal. and
lied Manal atop the career chart.
The goal only adds
another line to a
story - book seascm for
Miller. Heading into
his senior season, the
Longmeadow native had scored just
two goals. TTiis season, he has scored
seven, including a quintet ol
game-winners Of his nine goals at
LMass. six have been game-winners.
Equally impressive has been
Miller's defensive play as of late.
Todav he drew the toughest assign-
meni. marking Hunter Paschall. who
has scored 55 percent of
Dartmouth's glials this season.
The 5-fool- 7-inch Paschall
remained quiet, taking just four shut"
as he was smothered by Miller
(b-fiK)t I -inch).
"I Miller! did a great job defensive

and he closed | Paschall j down and
did an excellent job. like he's done all

Dartmouth yesterday with his teammates.
Joseph's too good
to keep out of net
In the National Hockey League. $2.5 million is a
big salary. Not in baseball. If you make this much in
MLB. you're probably a second baseman batting
.265 or a 55-year- old starting pitcher who had one
gocxl year.
This is what the St. Louis Blues paid goallender
Curli<i Imeph foi the out"tanding service he rendered
behind their porous
defense for the belter
part of six seasons,
loseph never won
the Vezina Trophy,
but it wasn't for lack
of trying. He played
more games than
almost any goal-
tender and always faced the most shots.
loseph isn't with the Blues anymore, as he was
dealt to Edmonton for Shayne Corson during the
past off-season. There is no way Corson i" a better
winger than loseph is a goalie, bul don't forget who
pulled the siring on this one: Mike Ke«nan. Si. Louis
coach. Keenan arrived beneath the arch last season,
afier he "led" the Rangers to the 1444 Stanley Cup.
In 1995. Keenan misled the Blues out of the play-
offs in the first round via the underdog Canucks.
Good job. Mike. You're certainly worth your pay.
which no doubt exceeds Joseph's. We're all confi-
dent Cram Fuhr and |on Casey, neither of whom
has done anything since 1941. will guide you real
far this year Up a certain creek
It's no matter because loseph wasn't a Mike Keenan
"guy." He's nol really big and old and he doesn't act
like a total jerk on a regular basis He's not "fiery" or
"intense" or "lough," any of those intangibles that
Keenan overvalues (imagines, really) in his players.
Cujo had an awful series against Vancouver, but I
guess thai" the only time Keenan ever saw him
play. I think if he recalled a few of those games the
Blues won or hung around in only because of Cujo's
efforts, some of which were played last season, he'd
give him another chance Oh. I forgot, you don't get
second chances under Mike Keenan.
So now loseph is "tuck in Edmonton, which may
have more use- for him lh;in it think". Bill Ranford actu-
ally kept the Oilers oul of the playoffs last year and he
was relieved once in this young season by |oaquin

program is a perfect example. UMass
is a perennial NCAA invite, making

appearances in the Einal I'our. most
recently in 1442. and L.Ma"s ha"
buill. as the media guide says. "A tra-
dition of excellence."
That tradition has now spread
acros" the nation. Several formei
UMass players have left the confine"
of Toiman Field and are making a
name for themselves as leaders for
olhei schiHils. '~^^~~^~~^^
The tradition all began with former head coach Pani
Hivon. The Eraminghum native spearheaded the
Minulewomen from 1478 until 1445. when she look a
two year leave of absence lo coach the United States
National Team in the 1446 Olympics. During her 15-year

"She is an outstanding coach." current UMass head
coach Megan Donnelly "aid. "She wa" a great motivator
and you always felt belter prepared than any team you
faced. Under Pam. you expected, you didn't hiipe."
Donnelly, a four lime All-American during her four
seasons playing for UMass. is the Minutewomen's only
Broderick Award winner. The Broderick Award is a
national honor given to the graduating senior who has had
the best career over her four years.

LaSalle Explorers against her former team on Sunday.
"Pam has created a dynasty." DeAngelis said. "She

DeAngelis. a fomier player on the National squad, has
engineered the improvement at LaSalle during her four
years at the helm
^— — ^^^^^ "When I first took over. LaSalle
field hockey was almost obsolete
because there was a high turnover in
coaching btefore me." fX-Angelis said.
"We have made tremendous strides in
a shvirl period of time. If there is one
thing I'm proud of it's that we can
now compete on the national level."
DeAngeli" entered L'Mass as a
freshman in 1485. and Hixon was not
the only person she ItKiked up to.
"Megan Donnelly was a senior and

such a leader, a definite role model."

"Pam was the best coach I could have had." Strong
said. "She was a motivator who made me a better player,
and us a better team. She was in her first year at UMass
my freshman year and 1 didn't know what to expect. I feel
like 1 got a fair chance and I made the team."
Not only did Strong make the learn that year, bul it was
the beginning of one of the most successful careers in all
of UMass field hockey. Strong is still the team'" career

Sophomore Anthony Catlerion is now taking the

On a team boasting an excellent

be overshadowed. In fact, many fans

Minutemen had a new starting quar-
terback the last two games.
lake a look around the
Massachusetts football locker room
before a game and you will see three
quarterbacks ready lo win. There is
three year starter Andrew McNeilly.
there is Vito Campanile, the starter
for the first four games of this season
and there i" the present starter,
sophomore Anthony Calteiton.
The Minutemen triumvirate of pass
throwers have experienced a roller
coaster ride the past lew seasons.
I'ach quarterback has had ample
opportunity lo prove its capabilities.
At this point, it is Catteiton's capabil-
ities Massachusetts coach Mike
Hodges looks to utilize.
"Right now I'm taking this job like
it's mine. Coach 'old me the only
competition is with myself. If I pro-
duce I will stay, and if I don't, then
they will find someone else lo do Ihe
job." Calterton said. "It's like any-
thing else. You want Ihe guy who
prixluces. So I feel like right now I'm
the guy. bul I have to keep produc-
ing."
During preseason camp, nobody
was certain who the UMass starling
quarterback for the 1445 season
would be. Many believed the incum-
bent McNeilly. who has 28 career
starts under his belt, would continue
his campaign.
Then what about Campanile'.' He
was the all time New lersey high
school passing record breaker who
led UMass to three wins in the 1445
season after McNeilly went down
with an injury. Campanile sat out
1494 with a lorn anterior cruciate lig-
ament.
Finally there was Catterton, who is
the youngest and least experienced of
the quarterbacks. He served as
back-up lo McNeilly last season and
saw limited action.
Campanile, after a year oul of com-
mission, emerged as the man Hodges
wanted to run his offense. He won
the job over McNeilly and Catterton,
and started the season.
Calterton, however, had arrived at
camp this season with a solid
improvement to his game and an atti-
tude any coach would love.
"I went into camp lo give it all I
got, lo get the starting job. 1 didn't go
in thinking I'll be the back up and
that's fine. I went in lo gel the start-
ing job and at the time they just felt
Vito was running the offense better."
Catterton said. "Of course 1 was a
little discouraged, because everyone
wants to start. I was thinking we
were both sophomores and I'd always
be backing up. Then I just continued
lo work hard and see what happens."

Drums beat on as Marchers share stories
By Gregory Casimir and
Chris Conner
Collegian Sioff
Although Ihe Million Man March
occurred on Monday, its impact was
still fell yesterday as the Black
Student Union organized a forum for
those blacks who participated in the
march to share their own experiences
with those men. and especially
women, who could nol attend.
Moderated by BSU vice president
Kola Olosunde, the forum featured a
panel of guest speakers to help those
who were not at the march to get a
sense of the true essence of the event.
Among those speaking were
Afro-American Studies professor
lohn Bracey. Vice-Chancellor of
Student Activities Rick Townes.
Collegiate Commiiicc for ihe
F.ducation of Black and other
Minority Students advisor Sid
Ferrara, Muslim Brother Jaime \
from Mosque 13 in Springfield and
Lorenzo Gaines, a student at
Hampshire College.
Olosunde began the proceedings
by opening up the floor lo those who
went lo get up and share their experi-
ences. Alvin Scott, a fifty-three year
old electrician, spoke about his past
experiences in the Korean War. and
how an event such as the march was
something in which he said believed
he'd never live lo participate.
'I got grandchildren, and I'd never
ihuught I'd live to sc-e it,' he said.
He also said that in his youth
there were influences in his life thai
saved him from wayward activiliev
much as the march may do for main
young black men now.
"I was running wiW in the slreels."
he said. "The only things thai
stopped me were a steel drum, ni>

The Student Government
Association passed motions
Wednesday night that would
increase students' "opr>ortuniiy
and accessibility* on campus,
according to SG.A Presicleni
Christine Lopes.
The first item on the agenda
passcxi was a motion to endorse a
petition for more emergency call
boxes to be installed on campus
The petition is sponsored by the
RIol Cirrrls. a campus organiza-
tion which was compelled lo act
after a recent attack on a student
in Southwest The group believes
the attacker would have been
deterred if a call bux was located
close by
"With only one escort van in
service, many students are walk
ing alone al night.' sophomore
Rebecca Filman of the Riot Grrrls
said. "There's not always a police-
man patrolling Ihe area, so you
wciuld need lo call them.'
Filman pointed out that there is
usually only cme call box located
between the center of campus and
the residence halls
"The police said there are boxes
located on the main paths il you
don't lake short cuts," Kilman
said. "What are the short cuts'.'"
Filman acknowledged that so
lar, as many men as women have
signed the petition. 'We feel this
is an issue that aflccts everyone."
Filman said.
Speaker Dan Casiellano said it
was "pathetic" ihai there is only
one escort van in service.
"Women's safety on this cam-
pus IS a huge issue. This motion is
a first step in dealing with the
safety of all students, particularly
women," said Casiellano.
The motion to eixkirsc the peti-
tion was passed by the SGA.
Lopes presented the motion to
allow students on the lU- meal
plan to be allowed to cal on week-
ends. Currently, these students are
only allowed lo eat Monday
through Friday, while 14-mcal
plan users may eai seven days a
week. Lctpes argued that this rule
discriminated againsi students
who could nol afford the 14-mcal
plan.
"We're (dcbaiing) a policy, not
a financial issue.* Lopes said.
When asked that the motion be
tabled. Lopes responded. "I can't
accept that, I'm sorry."
The motion was passed unani
mously by the Senate. Ixjpcs sees
this as a first siep in challenging
FiKxi Services and the quality of
the food, which she plans to
address later in the year. She said
that some of the equipment docs
nol work properly, pointing out
broken fryolalors for an example.
She also hopes to investigate the
food suppliers lo sec if there are
any heller alicmaiives in the qual-
ity of food the students are get-
ling, rather ihan just settling for
ihe lowest bidder.
Casiellano said he was happy to
see the motions pass.
"There's a bureaucracy to
change anything on this campus,"
Casiellano said. *Wc intend lo
express our right in formulating
policy. We've passed the motion
so now it's lime to mc>ve forward
and act."

turned into a di.scussion of semantics
and procedures as senators worked
on fine-tuning some of their earlier
work.
The meeting began with a brief
update on the status o.'' contract
negotiations, which faculty will vote
on next week.
The update was greeted with little
emotional reaction by the senators,
unlike the previous two meetings,
which had several protests over the
slate of the contracts. Instead, sup-
port of this progress in the on-going
negotiations came from one of the
most vocal of the concerned faculty
members — the head of the
Massachusetts Society of Professors,
Leonard Richards — who said the
contract is unanimously supported by
the MSP meniK-rs.
"This contract brings in less than
[former president Michael) Hookcr_s
5-')-5." Richards said. "The amount
of money for promotions is much
higher. I urge you lo gel oul and vote
for it next Tuesday."
The focus of the meeting then
turned lo review of the University's
strategic plan. The topic, which had
been opened for discussion at the
previous senate meeting, was again
brought forward for further com
mcnt.
The initial discussion centered
around a four -page handout which
was distributed by the MSP at an ear-
lier senate meeting.
One Senator questioned the means
by which the MSP document — with
information about the strategic plan
excerpted from various task force
reports and unit plans — made il to
the Senate floor.
"The document did not come from
a Senate committee," Gordon Sutton,
a professor of sociology said. "The
MSP is a union. They prepared this
document and gave a copy of it to the
Secretary of the Faculty Senate. They
decided lo make it a senate docu-
ment. It's a document that in my
mind has some defects."
One defect he cited was that "Ihe
oullook of land grant is not dis-
cussed."
Sutton defined the land grant mis-
sion as "an obligation lo Ihe needs of
the citizens and also provides service
to the community and the state."
The majority of Ihe senate was
opposed to his request lo have Ihe
document rcconsidetcd through the
proper channels of the senate, how-
ever. This would entail having three
Senate committees — the Academic
Council, the Graduate Council and
the Research Council — review the
document.
"It's going to send [the document)
into limbo." Walter Denny, a profes-
sor of art history, said. "What arc the
mechanics? Do jibe committees) all
gel to chew it over?"
Edward Connors, a professor of
mathematics and statistics also
argued against Sulton.s request.
"I feel this statement has been cir-
culated for some time." he said. 'It's
very brief It's four pages. I urge you
to vole againsi Ihe motion."
The senate voted against having
the document reviewed by the com-
mittees
The senate, led by Comparative
Literature Professor Maria
Tymoczko. then fixed the wording in
faculty senate document 09-96. a
response lo the Chancellor's Strategic
Thinking Document.
Her concern was in the use of the
word "its" in the document which
limited the meaning of the statement.
The Senate voted to change the
wording so that the statement now
reads, "Moved: That the Faculty
Senate endorse, as 'an essential'
response to the Chancellor's Strategic
Thinking Document, the
Massachusetts Society of Professor's
Vision for the University of
Massachusetts at Amherst."
lohn Bracey. the Senate Secretary
and a professor of Afro-American
studies, reminded the Senate of Ihe
reason for the response period desig-
nated to the strategic plan.
"The purpose of putting {the
strategic plan) on the agenda was to
have a discussion about il, nol just lo
have a vote on il." he said.
Although Sutton wanted to contin-
ue addressing aspects of the plan, his
motion was again defeated when less
than two- thirds of the Senate voted
in favor of it.
Senate response lo the plan was
acknowledged by Chancellor David
K. Scott, who said he welcomed fac-
ulty comments. "As I've said many
times, I am eager lo get any ideas and
input on (the plan),' he said.
On Wednesday, the second floor lounije of
Gorman Residence Hall was filled with nearly T>
people came to hear panelists discuss the unprece-
dented rally in the nation's capilol on Monday.
Moderated by Yusef Laleef of Union Video
Center, a panel comprised of march participants
balanced with non- attendees meshed their per-
spectives in a forum entitled "The Million Man
March in Washington D.C.: Its Implications for
Black Politics and Culture."
The panelists lor the three hour discussicm. a
cross-section of the campus community, included
Women's Studies professor Alexandra Deschamps;
Ronald Dptlin of Afrik- Am; l.ucinda Falv of
NOMMO News: Collegiate Committee for Ihe
Education of Black and other Minority Students
academic advisor Sidonio Ferriera; Black Student
Union president Daniel Lizana: political science
professor Dean Robinson; and Nation of Islam
member Darryl X.
Dottin, Deschamps and X offered some of the
evening's most dynamic viewpoints on Ihe march.
A member of the march planning committee.
IXitlin said he was pleased with the success of Ihe
event, bul hoped that the participants would not
lose sight of their newly gained responsibilities.
"II we don't become involved in our communi-
ties, then those buses were nothing more than food
stamps," he said. "And Ihe lunches the sisters made
for us were nothing more than welfare cheese."
A repealed theme on the night was Ihe impor-
tance of the role of black women in the all-male
march, to which many women lent both spiritual
and organizational support Deschamps began her

controversy surrounding march orga
nizer Minister l.ouis Farrakhan was a
particular source of discontent for
Scott.
"It was not a Farrakhan march." he
said "It was a black folks march, a
black man's march, a black woman's
march."
Olosunde added a personal
account of his own regarding the
spirit of the march.
"Unity is power." he said ".And the
march typified that Iccling It was the
true essence of the march. I know we
were more than a million deep."
He also remarked about how the
presence of skin heads nearly
prompted him to approach the march
with a "lynch mob" mentality, rather
than the spirit of atonement, and
peace
"When we found out that skin heads
were coming, we were like. Yeah, we
gonna .show them,' atxl what not." he
said. ' Hut m> man Talt told nie that

youth at the iiiaivh.
"It's imp«>rtant because it's a shift
from the older to younger generii

Bracey also said there is a need lo
restructure the interaction of many
black students on campus.
"Black people on this campus
don't speak to each other." he said
"There's not that many of us here

"Nothing in your head is so deep

Townes spoke about the three
prevalent themes behind the Million
Man March.
"Atonement. Reconc ilia lion
Responsibility. This is what it's all
about," he said. 'I didn't even know
what atonement was. I had to look it
up"
Lorenzo (iaines, a student from
Hampshire College who traveled to
the march with other UMass stu
dents, shared his thoughts about the
march as well.
"It was symbolic that wc asscni
bled on the lawn of the Capiltil
because that's the head of everything-
It doesn't ntatler if it was 100 men oi

Powell bandwagon filling up
The 10 remaining COP candidates got together last
week for a televised debate, each hoping to land
their party's nomination.
What? Didn't see it? Don't worry, no one else did
cither.
The debate was doomed from the start, facing competi-
tion from the 0.|. inter\'iew that never was. the baseball
game and something on CBS that no one watched cither.
Ten candidates, now that Pete Wilson has dropped out.
sat on a panel, each saying 'Dig me. I wanna run the
show." I think it would have been worth tuning in just to
see lk>b Dole and Phil Gramm dare each
other to smile.
It's a pretty sad state of affairs when
what should have been an informative, live-
ly and important debate draws lower rat-
ings than some gall bladder operation they
were running on the Discovery Channel
Even some of the people who had a stake
in the thing couldn't be bothered. Lynn
Nofziger. a Dole advisor, told the press
that she was going to watch the ball game
instead.
The newcomers in the race are the ones
who would be missing out. With very little
publicity or backing, they were hoping that an event like
this could push them into the spotlight. Until the next
debate they'll have to rely on campaign ads stuck in
between motivational speakers and 9UU numbers on
late-night cable.
Dole, with a tenuous hold on the lead in the polls, has
the most to lose from a poor showing in a debate with his
competition. Using that logic. Rich Bond, another Dole
advisor, decided to think of the glass as half full and see
how the lack of attention could actually be helpful.
"If there's a problem, no one will see it." he said.
So. why all the ap(<thy? Why is this get together draw-
ing about as much interest as a hooker at a "Star Trek*
convention?
It's because of the so called "1 1th candidate." A man
who hasn't even decided to run yet. A man who wasn't
even anywhere near the debate. A man named Colin
Powell.
Without his participation, people seemingly couldn't
care less. People can't seem to get enough of this guy.
Forget "Who shot Mr. Bums?." the question on the minds
of New Hampshire Republicans is. 'Will he or won't he?"
Although Dole has fairly solid backing from the mem-
bers of his party, if Powell runs, they'll drop him faster
than an 8 a.m. class.
This sort of rabid loyalty is surprising at this early stage
of the game considering the relative frailty of Powell's
platform. While everyone may not agree with Dole, at
least people have an idea where he stands on the econo-
my, welfare, foreign policy and health care.
But. what does anyone really know about Powell? He's
either a liberal conservative or a conservative liberal. He's
pro-choice and pro-adoption. He's two. two. two candi-
dates in one. He's an enlgiiia inside a uniform, pinned to a
medal wrapped in the flag, and unless you've got S22.95
to blow on his book, that's about all you'll know lor now.
He's said that he's using hi^ book tour as
an opportunity to test the waters of public
opinion, to see if running at all is in his
best interests. With the Midas touch that
he's got right now. he's seemingly able to
turn those waters into Gold>>chlager
His charisma has carried him to the top
of the best seller list, onto magazine cov-
ers, into the guest chair on many a talk
show and has helped him dodge the nega-
tive fallout from the Gull War backlash.
The same backlash that helped bury his
former b*.)ss. George Bush, in 1992. While
everyone else involved in the planning and
execution of Desert Shield/Storm was busy running
around, making excuses for the invasion and denying the
existence of arms that we sold to Iraq, as well as tailing to
explain why so many service people were sick alteruardN,
Powell has just been smiling and waving and playing coy
with the press to the adulation of the public.
Unfortunately charisma alone doesn't make a President.
It helps, of course, but you need more. You need a plan of
action, the determination tu carry it out and the support
of your party and the public.
So. is he a lousy candidate who would make an even
lousier President? To be honest. I don't know. I don't
know because it's too early. He hasn't come out about the
big issues yet. What baffles me. though, is the amount and
strength of support he's received on such a fragile plat-
form, lust because there's plenty of room on the bandwag-
on doesn't mean you should be flagging it down so you
can jump on. Wait a little while, see what he's got to say
and then make an informed, rational decision based on
the issues, not on ratings points.
If he turns out to be as strong a candidate as is suspect-
ed he's going to be a major player in the campaign game.
And for all of those who have been waiting to see Bob
Dole smile, wait for the day Powell drops out of the race.

Contract offers
are insulting
To the Editor:
Recently, much attention was
given to the conclusion of contract
agreements between the
University and the bargaining
agents of the faculty (MSP/MTA)
and professional/managerial staff
(SEIU).
Attention now needs to turn to
negotiations with the classified staff
— clerical/technical employees rep-
resented by USA/MTA and mainte-
nance, trade and food service
cmplovces represented by
AFSCME
While the packages are complex,
pay increases received by MSP and
SEIU can be fairly summarized from
their press releases as follows: the
faculty have obtained an average per-
manent pay increase (i.e.. excluding
one-time payments) of 14.1 percent
over three years. Professional/man-
agerial staff has negotiated a 10 per-
cent increase in their base pay over
three years, the majority of which
comes m the first year of the con-
tract.
The University has offered
USA/MTA and AFSCME;
• a 2.5 percent bonus in the first
year (a one-time payment that
doesn't change the pay rate).
• a 3 percent base pay increase in
the 2nd year.
• a 2 percent base pay increase in
the 5rd year.
In other words, we have been
offered a 5 percent increase in base
pay over three years. The majority of
it comes in the latter half of the con-
tract or. relative to faculty and pro-
fessionals, one-third to one-half of
their rates of increase on, needless to
say, a lower salary base.
These facts put a new wrinkle in
contract negotiations. H the
University can't significantly
improve its offer to its lowest paid
employees, we are no longer talk-
ing only about how much the
Commonwealth can afford to
improve the compensation of
University employees who have all
seen their purchasing power
decline significantly over the last
I 5 years.
We are also talking about how
the monies should be distributed
within the University famllv. The
hope is that the MSP and'SEIU
agreements have set a standard
for a fair settlement with classi-
fied staff and not created an
obstacle.
Of course the University must be
able to compete for the best qualified
faculty and professionals. However. I
don't think there are many classified
staff, nor for that matter faculty or
professionals, who see any basis for a
decline in the relative worth of classi-
fied staff among University employ-
ees.
This is especially true at a lime
when the University, through its CQI
program, is trying to create a work
environment that fosters participation
in decision making by the people who
do the job and purportedly know the
job.
Classified staff, aware of this new
situation, should need little urging to
wake up and make it clear to their
bargaining representatives, and more
importantly to the University, that
the current offers are insulting and
unacceptable.

To the Editor:
I was surprised and saddened by
the low turnout at the Martina
Navrililova/Dave Pallone conversa-
tion. The majority of the crowd was
homosexual, and female, li know
many women were ecstatic just to be
in the same room as Martina, never-
mind being able to ask her ques-
tions.)
Yes. this was a comfortable place
for homosexuals to be a rare thing in
itself. A few students even chose to
come out publicly while they were at
the microphone to ask questions, not
knowing if they'd still have a room-
mate when all was said and done. But
what was really being discussed was
the topic of fears and consequences
of coming out in a workplace.
I would've liked to have heard ques-
tions from heterosexuals on this topic.
The conversation lagged at times, even
bored me. I wanted some juice in the
conversation. All I heard was, "come
out. you'll feel better about yourself."
So. where was everybody? Well,
maybe some incentive would have
helped. In my Management 301 class,
we were offered two points toward
our grades if we attended the Carry
Willis lecture on leadership. The same
should have been offered for this one.
If these two out professionals aren't
leaders, I don't know who are. Hello?
Don't we address repeatedly the topic
of discrimination and managerial
behavior in our Management classes?
Let's give credit where credit is
due. I feel anyone who went to this
lecture/conversation and can produce
their ticket stub should get the two
points. If not, a formal apology to
both sections of 301 will do.

Opinion/Editorial
Pick of the Repuhlican litter
As a political writer. I am
charged with the unctuous
task of considering the
Republican presidential crop. It
si-ems like a fruitless effort, since I
doubt any ol these men will ever be
president just the same, let's get it
over with.
Sen. Bob Dole is winning, and
therefore has not said or done any-
thing innovative in his campaign.
In the past. Dole has taken some
principled stands in defense of the
poor in keeping with his own mixl-
est boyhood in Kansas. He stood
with George McGovcTn to fight for
food stamps.
But in this, his third presidential
run. the increasingly bitter and
surly senator has molded himself
into a cynical right-wing oppor
tunist. attacking the same pro-
grams he once worked to build. On
a scale of one to 10. the likelihood
of Dole's nomination is a seven —
his descrvingness of it ranks only a
three
Pal Buchanan plays the race card
like he was lohnnie Cochran, only
Pat plays the flip side. By scream-
ing rhetoric and offering no viable
proposals, Buchanan's campaign —
fueled with both covert and overt
racist messages — has excited
some Republicans, and Buchanan
now runs second in the polls. But
most Republicans are nauseated by
him. Even conservative icon Bill
Bennett says Buchanan "flirts with
fascism." Likelihood: two, descrv-
ingness: one.
Lamar Alexander wears plaid and
talks like an outsider, never mind
that he's worked for both Nixon and
Bush He helped out with Goals
2000, the education program that
leadoff primary state New
Hampshire now refuses to install.
Now (he former Education secretary
wiinls !(.• destroy that entire depart-
ment .Alexander is a bright man,
but too much of a politician. He has
no convictions about anything but
the fact that he desperately wants to
move back to the Washington he
claims to loathe. Likelihood: two,
desemngnc"ss: four.
Malcolm "Steve" Forbes, jr.. is
rich. His campaign jet is named the
Capitalist Tool. His platform has
one plank — 'my dad made a lot of
money, and now I'm gonna spend
ii.' Although he truly believes in
the flat tax/less government ideolo-
gy he preaches, anyone who was
not bom a billionaire can see that
Forbes is hopelessly naive.
I Forbes '/ platform
has one plunk — 'my
dad made a lot of
money, and now I'm
gonna spend it. '
Although he truly
believes in the flat
tax/less government
ideology he preaches,
anyone who was not
born a billionaire can
see that Forbes is
hopelessly naive.
Peter Orvetti
Likelihood: three, descrvingness:
three.
Sen. Phil Gramm maneuvered an
illegal donation to Bob Packwood.
and was himself re-elected on the
strength of questionable contribu-
tions. Before that, he invested in
pomo movies. Needless to say, he is
running as a family values candi-
date. Gramm is so repulsive to con-
servative voters that many say that,
while they agree with his views, thev
just really hate him. Likelihood:
four, descrvingness: one.
Sen. Arien Specter used to fight
for religious freedom and abortion
rights. Lately, he's only fought
Anita Hill. His slander of Hill was
un';onscionable. and now. neither
Democrats nor Republicans can
stand him. Likelihoixi: one. descrv-
ingness: three.
Sen. Richard Lugar is the most
principled candidate by far. He talks
about foreign affairs, investment
strategies, and a new form of federal
taxation. His idcjs are thoughtful,
and even if you do not agree with
him. you can only respect him. Of
course, this being American politics.
Lugar is at one percent in the polls.
Likelihood: one. descrvingness: 10.
Alan Keyes talks a lot. He's a
talk radio host and before that he
ran for i.Se Senate twice, losing by
a landslide each time. He says his
run is about morality, but his cam-
paign has already written bad
checks, and Keyes himself "mis-
placed" funds from his Senate cam-
paigns. His campaign is really a
cheap attempt to get better ratings
once he returns to radio.
Likelihood: one. descrvingness:
two.
Rep. Robert Doman has assault-
ed protesters he disagrees with,
lied about the President on the
floor of the House, and is most
proud of his homophobia. Even
Republicans say he has gone off the
deep end. His speeches are inco-
herent, and he often speaks of past
military adventures that he never
had. Likelihood: one. descrving-
ness: one.
Morry Taylor is a self-made mil-
lionaire. He is running on a
from-thc-hip platform that the
American Dream still works, and
that free markets are the way to
keep it so. His capitalist appeal dif-
fers only from Forbes's in that at
least Taylor made his own money.
That alone makes him more credi-
ble. Likelihood: one. descrvingness:
four.
Arthur Fletcher is a protest can-
didate. Fletcher helped Richard
Nixon create affirmative action
programs in the 1970's. Fletcher is
now fighting a GOP that wants to
throw them away. Likelihood: one,
descrvingness: seven.
For now, the race is quiet.
Voters in Iowa and New
Hampshire are wary of the candi-
dates, and bored by them. They are
also waiting for one more entrant,
a kid from Harlem who grew up to
be the Chairman of the joint Chiefs
of StafL If Powell does run. Dole
will never know what hit him.

Cherish the times with a friend

Schmidt
'm hungry." he said as he pulled her off the couch. "Let's
I go gel some ice cream."
lanuary in the small college town was quite cold
that year, but they were prepared. They bundled up.
mittens and all. and headed down the dark, gloomy
stairway towards (he street.
"Why do you want ice cream?" she asked. 'It's the mid-
dle of winter!" she exclaimed.
That evening they laughed at the sounds their shoes
made as they walked through the leftover snowfall from
the night before.
They opened the door to Bart's and a
comforting heatwave befell upon their faces
as they let out a sigh of relief.
He ordered his ice cream — strawberry
shortcake ice cream and she, of course,
ordered chocolate. By habit, each one of
the;n knew what the other one would order.
They grabbed one of the last booths left in the place —
right next to the window.
They began to talk. They talked about things they liked,
loved, disliked and even things they hated. Hopes, dreams,
goals and aspirations were hot topics, too. The two friends
shared everything, it seemed. For one moment, there
inside Bart's, it seemed as if the world stood still.
These friends used to spend lime together.
As (he year grew longer, the shorter the time became
that the friends were together. Neither of them were to
blame. Schedules got crazy and their lives began to focus
on other things. They drifted away from each other.
They were still good friends though. They still had fun.
but they were never as close as during those chilly winter
evenings.
* * •
i remember my friend now. as if he was here yesterday.
I remember those crazy, fun and sometimes immature
times we spent together, and I remember those beautiful,
serious, and more difficult times. But nonetheless. I
remember.
Life can be rough. We. in one way or the other, have all
experienced difficult times, and when we do there is no
better feeling than to realize a friend is nearby.
A true friend will always be there for you and will
never, nor could ever, leave your heart. Essentially,
whether we realize it or not, friends become part of your
personality. Friends help shape the very person you have
become today.
My friend made me happy and laugh, not
only because he would dance in the isles of
the grocery store or play a funny song for
nie on his guitar, but because he was com-
fortable enough to be himself around me.
In this fast-paced woHd, when things get rough and we
need .someone to talk to, it's guaranteed when you spend
time with those friends you care about the most, smiling
will never be difficult to do.
Treasure the days with your friends. You'll be glad that
you did.
The two friends left the warm ice cream shop along with
some of her most precious memories inside. They hurried
back to the apartment and the snow still made an amusing,
crunching sound beneath their feet. They walked back up
the gloomy stairwell, and back onto the couch as if they
had never moved an inch.
^Thaiiks for going with mc to get ice cream," he said.
"You're so welcome," she said with a smile, knowing
that the time they spent together would always be close to
her heart.

Throwing Muses hit Pearl St.
t ooiii s» vri VI cuiiK «
The Throwing Muses will bring their sweet sounds to Pearl Street tonight at 7 p.m.
By Mike Bwrie
Collegian Stoff
Has their time finally come? Since
forming in the mid- 80's the
Throwing Muses have been one of
the most hyped and talented pop
bands around. Single handedly they
have influenced a generation of pig-
tail pop stars from Letters To Cleo to
V'eruca Salt. But now these minor
leaguers have virtually passed their
idols in popularity.
Throwing Muses formed in Rhode
Island in the early '80's but thc7 soon
moved to Boston where the scene
J g+co.
was hopping with talent featuring
bands such as the Pixies and the
Lemonheads. Both the Pixies and the
Muses first gained success in Europe
by releasing their debut albums on
the much hyped 4AD label.
Eventually their fans in the States
caught on but neither band ever
reached the mass popularity that they
still maintain in Europe.
1990 saw a major change for the
band when co-leader Tanya Donnelly
left the band to join the Breeders for
a short time After that she left to
form Belly which has gone on to gain
quite a name for themselves in the
alternative world.
When IXinnelly left the band, fans
wondered what would happen to
their beloved Muses. Kristen Hersch
has successfully led the band, which
has been trimmed down to a trio fea-
turing David Narcizo on drums and
Bernard Georges on bass, since then.
Their most recent effort enlilled.
University, is a self- prviduced stellar
release. Last spring their hit single.
"Bright Yellow Gun." was played
non-stop on alternative radio, and the
rest of the album was just as strong.
But even with strung airplay, many
critics unfairly casted the band as
has-beens. The Muses arc far more
creative and exciting then any of their
B-rated counterparts.
Tonight the Throwing Muses will
take the stage in iheir first return to
the area since their stellar set at last
year's spring concert. Local band
Tizzy will open up the set playing
their hybrid of riot grri angst and
bubblegum pop.

Little Feat turned up the heat in Noho
By Michael McCloskey
Collegian Correspondent
UmiFEAT
Pearl Street
Od 17
NORTHAMPTON — Little Feat shuffled onto the
stage at 10 p.m. Tuesday night to face a hearty crowd
of seemingly devoted fans.
Opening with a swinging version of "Better Hold
On." was an appropriate warning of things to come.
What soon followed was a raucous version of "Every
Night." Although it was only the third number of the
set. it proved to be one of the highlights of the show
with piano player Hill Payne and slide guitarist Paul
Barrere trading rip-roaring solos back and forth.
Following "Every Night." the band maintained the
party atmosphere with one of their classics. "Fat Man
in a Bathtub" — a funky Creole tune with the organ
and drums haiKiling the sok> duties this time around
Recently recruited singer Shaun Murphy made her
debut with ihe band, singing strong backing vocals and
alternating the lead on every other song. Murphy
seemed lo add a welcome dimension to the band's
overall sound and her talents were warmly received
from longtime fans and newcomers alike.
The band's momentum faltered a bit about a quar-
ter of the way through the show as a result of two
extended moody jams that caused the crowd's enlhusi-
asm lo wane. This seemingly unintentional lull was
perhaps a calculated rest period for both the band and
its lans who were soon revived by a tempestuous
Cajun jig complete with mandolin and accordion
solos.
Little Feat is a truly multifaceted hand whose mem-
bers are each capable of creating various types of
sounds through an assortment of instruments. The
band's live prowess shines through in the display of
Fred Tackett's ability to switch back and forth from
guitar and trumpet in the same song.
Although the band managed to throw in a little of
everything in terms of sounds and instruments, some
were still not satisfied.
UMass Senior Bob Dennis said he was generally
pleased with the show, however he "disapproved of
some of the baiul's choices to supplement synthesized
horn solos in place of a true horn section."
UMass junior Matt Sullivan also liked the horns and
concurred, saying that he wished Tackctt would "blow
his horn a little more.'
The Pearl Street crowd was comprised of an eclectic
mixture of fun-loving fans, who they varied in age and
were able to identify with songs like "Old Folk's
Boogie" nonetheless.
Little Feat's wide fan base is a visual testament to
their cross-generational appeal and serves to further
demonstrate why they've thrived aiKl survived for 2S
years.
The beginning of the show drew mainly from the
band's back catalogue of 12 albums. The crowd
favorites were slowly dished out in the first half of the
show in contrast to the onslaught of radio classics that
spilled forth in the latter portion of the set.
Little Feat succeeded in creating a Mardi Gras
atmosphere that rocked from the Bayou to Cajun coun-
try in a one and a half hour plus set, leaving their fans
with sore feet.
Jawbreaker scores with a sweet debut
By Jason Ftox
Collegion Coresportdant
San Francisco's jawbreaker will be bring their emotion-
al brand of punk-influenced music to Pearl Street this
Saturday in support of their first major label debut,
jawbreaker, who began playing six years ago. consist of
Blake Shwarzenbach (guitar, vocals), Chris Bauermeister
(bass) and Adam Pfahler (drums).
Originally laim New York City, this three-man trio met
at NYU in their sophomore year. In 1989, the band finally
decided on a pemianent name which would be associatixj
with the form of candy or the machine used for crushing
rocks.
Unfun, the bands first independent full-length release,
was recorded in only one week and brought the band out
from obscurity as they began touring rigorously. Soon
after, jawbreaker moved their camp to San Francisco's
Mission District where they recorded Bivouac, which
brought us the heartfelt punk rock classic. "Chesterfield
King."
In 1993. jawbreaker put out 24 Hour Revenge Therapy
on Tupelo/Communion, which was recorded with Steve
Albini in a mere two days, jawbreaker's luck took artother
positive tum as they were asked to open for Nirvana on a
week long leg of the In Utero tour.
Now. after six years, three LPs and more than a dozen
releases on a variety of indie labels, lawbreaker have
releascxl their major label debut Dear You On Dear You,
jawbreaker play with the same dark arvJ melodic lormula
they did on 24 Hour Re\'enge Therapy. Dear You was pro-
ducc-d by Rob Cavallo who has worked with the likes of
Green Day and the Muffs.
Due to jawbreaker's ck>sc as.sociation with punk music
and their so-called 'ethics,' some might call them
sell-outs for signing to a major label and choosing a pro-
ducer associated with Green Day.
However, on their latest release, lawbreaker prove
that their music is just as honest as ever. Songs like
"Accident Prone.' 'Sluttering' and the now radio-
friendly "Fireman" arc examples of how
Shwarzenbach's lyrics and delivery are as intense and
sincere as ever
Live, jawbreaker play with intense eniTgy (reminiscent
of Nirvana) while mixing up their old and new material.
This Saturday when jawbreaker take the stage at Pearl
Street with jawbox and Serpico, they should live up to
iheir reputation.
jawbreaker will be appearing at Pearl St tomorrow
mght at 7 p.m Opening for the hand will be jawbox and
Serpico. Tickets are limited, but still available Pick them
up at Tix Unlimited or lor the Record in Amhi-rst

ITie Minutemen enter the contesit at par. sptirting a 5- 3
record. TTjey face the William&Manr tribe who is ranked
17th in the national l-AA poll. The TVibe is riding a five-
game winning streak, that ttiey are not planning to end ig
Amherst. The Tribe stands at 5-2 and pose as UMass'
' 'Ughest challenge of the 1 995 Season.
If the Minutenien win, they eould ride the momentum
lir the remainder of the season shooting for a Yankee
( onfeienee championship. If they lose, it is a rocky road.

"Williiim&Mary is a great team. They're ranked ^nd
ilicre is no doubt we can beat them." Ingoglia said. "Th«
t;jme this week turns everything right around for the r%st
1 1 the season, we need lo go in there and win this one." ,
"Obviously it's an important game for ui. If we can giU
'•n a streak here, this will be a big win for us. Hodge^
Slid. 'We are stn^kng a little bit at 3 5. but we have
iiown improvetuent the last few weeks. If we continue td,

' no game at a time,"
William&Maty is led by senior running backs Derek
I it^gcrald and Troy Keen, who have been 1<ey cogs in a
I 'lent offense averaging 28.9 points per game. The pair
"f hacks stand two and ^re* on the all-time W&M rush-

Iiibe senior quarterback Matt Byrnes play over the last
n.f weeks has been nearly pcifect. He has completed 57

Mitory over Pennsylvania last Saturday
On the other side of the ball, the William&Mary

the most balanced team we play .so far. the best on our
schedule V\ e are going to earn everything we get and play
with gre.it onotion. 'They are gr»lng to run the ball first.
They have a IHtfc mwe confidence and a little more expe-
rience in their throwing game than we do. It's going to be
a difficuit gaitK tor us."

Women s crew goes to
International Regatta
By Oougbs Dowiing Jr.
Collegian Correspondent
The Massachusetts women's
crew is off to a great start in its
first season as a Division I school.
They have 10 returning varsity
rowers from last year's Division II
National Championship team and
another 10 rowers who have
moved up from last year's novice
team.
The crew had an impressive fin-
ish two weeks ago at the Head of
the Connecticut Regatta. The
junior varsity boat placed tOth out
of a field of 41 boats in the
Intermediate class, while the var-
sity boat was the first United
Slates collegiate crew to cross the
finish line in a heat of 27 boats.
That finish earned them the
bronze medal behind Riverside
Boat Club and Brock University of
Canada.
Li Mass beat some powerful
crews in the likes of Brown,
Boston University. Wesleyan as
well as Boston College and
Temple on its way to victory.
This weekend, the UMass
women will travel to the presti-
gious Head of the Charles Regatta
in Boston. The Regatta is the
largest one-day athletic event in
Massachusetts, second only to the
Boston Marathon. It is also the
largest one -day rowing event in
the world.
Well over a quarter of a mil-
lion spectators line the banks of
the Charles River each year to
watch the event.
There are expected to be over
8,000 competitors from around
the world, including many
national teams. UMass will be
facing the likes of the U.S. and
Dutch National crews in its
races.
The regatta is run up stream
from the B.U bridge to Soldier
Field Road. Fach year the
Governor declares it Head uf the
Charles Day and closes East
River Drive to only pedestrian
traffic.
UMass is very excited for the
weekend. Races begin early
Sunday morning and end around
5 p.m. The vaniity and junior var-
sity will both be racing in the
Championship-K race at 4 p.m.
UMass coach |im Dietz is confi-
dent that his crew will do verv

Volleyball faces Dukes, Sonnies
By Chris Stamm
Collegian Staff
When tournament time conies, a team has got to
prove itself in order to go anywhere in the
post -season. Words and analogies are useless, just
ask Massachusetts volleyball coach Bonnie Kenny.
"We have to stop talking about it and just get the
job done,' Kenny said.
It's as simple as thai With more than half of
the season behind them, the Minutewomen would
like nothing more than to secure a spot in the
.Atlantic 10 finals. UMass hopes to come one step
closer to that goal this weekend as they wrap up
a five match home-stand in the Curry Hicks
Cage. Kenny's squad faces Duquesne this evening
at 7 p.m. and St. Bonaventure tomorrow at 4
p.m.
Duquesne comes to Amherst with a record of
9-1 1. 4-6 in A- 10 play. The last time the
Minutewomen faced Duquesne. it was the Lady
Dukes who came out on top of a five-game bailie.
"We have to contain the outside hitters, who I
thought had a hey-day against us. That's the
biggest thing. (Sheilaj Lopez and jjamie) Mars
were key outside hitters for them last time." Kenny
said. "We have to make sure if ihey are going to go
out and swing at HO balls. 45 of them aren't
kills-
Kenny will look to step up the defensive tempo
in order to neutralize the offensive force of Lopez
and Mars.
"It's our defense's responsibilities to start with
the block, touch the ball, slow it down and play
solid defense." Kenny said.
As for St. Bonaventure. the lack-luster Bonnies
stand at I- « in A- 10 play. While the
Minutewomen disposed of the Bonnies readily on
Sept. 22 in a li-15. 15-10. 15-1 blanking. Kenny
is not writing them off just yet.
"They're a much-improved program and a
much-improved team." Kenny said. "It's a battle at
the net that I think we can handle, but our desire
belter be there on defense.'
Kenny feels that her fourth place A- 10 team is
beginning to come together, just in lime for tourna-
ment preparation.
"It's a little bit more comforting now." said
Kenny, of her team's solidification. "They're used
to training together and know each other's tenden-
cies, and it's a little bit more comforting with the
same people on the court."
The Minutewomen have not lost a game when
they have hit .500 or better. It is this offensive
blast, led by junior outside hitter Giza Rivera, that
must be utilized to ensure victory this weekend,
and an A- 10 Tournament berth.
"We have to realize that when it's time to hit the
ball over the net, we have to hit the ball and get it
done," Kenny said.
If UMass can step up its defense and operate its
offense on all cylinders, victory belongs to the
Minutewomen.

"1 think it's going to be a specta-
tor's delight. An absolute spectator's
delight." Rudy said. "You've got two
of the best teams record-wise in the
region, and two of the better in the
country."
• On Sunday. UMass takes on
Fordham. one of the new additions to
the .Atluniic 10 Conference, at 2 p.m.
at Richard F Garber Field. The Lady
Rams come to Amherst with a lowly
4 12 record, fresh off a victory over
Hofstra. 2-1.
Leading the way for Fordham
should be junior Denise Corrado.
who leads the team in scoring with
23 points on 10 goals and three
assists. Freshman Colleen Sullivan
leads the team in assists with live.
Rebecca Mincio (five goals, three
assists for 15 points! and Christine
Geres (four goals, three assists for 1 1
points) round out the lop scorers for
Fordham.
In goal for the Lady Rams could be
either Frin Schniiti or Heather
Barone. Schmill has started 1 1 games
while Barone has started five.
With the ,\tbniic-10 Champioaships
looming on the horizon, the
Massachusetts women's cross country
team knows it has to step up a notch.
The Minulc-womcn look to do that this
vax-kenti when they travel to Boston for
the New England Championships.
After starling the season on a tor-
rid pace, the UMass squad had put to
rest the notion it was not going to be
a powerful team without its star run-
ner. Melissa l.ange\in. But the stress
of the season took its loll over the
past few weeks, as several of the
Massachusetts runners succumbed to
injuries and illnesses.
Now facing the most daunting
stretch of their season, the
Minutewomen are rested and healthy
and according to coach lulie
[.aFreniere. they are ready to go.
"My women aa' lo«.>king a lot bel-
ter, health-wise. They are in good
spirits, and are looking forward to
this race." LaFreniere said.
"len Waeger was out for a week,
but she is doing a lot better. Katie
Greenia is getting treatment for her
injury, and she will be able to run
strong this weekend."
The only runner who will have to sit
oul the weekend because of an injury
is fifth-year senior Cheryl Lyons. The
co-captain will attend the meet, how
ever, to assist coach LaFreniere.
.Although the conference champi-
ons will be decided a week later, the
competition will be fierce at Franklin
Park this weekend. LaFreniere
expects several schools, particularly
those from the Big East, to send their
second tier of runners, saving the lop
guns for division races.
"It's typical for the Big East schools
to race their second seven and save
their lop group for the conference
championships." LaFreniere said.
"The Big Flast has an incredibly lough
conference line-up. with Providence.
Georgetown, Boston College and
Connecticut all up there."
It is Connecticut that will most
likely pose the greatest threat to
UMass. Having raced them in Orono,
Maine at the beginning of the year,
LaFreniere's squad knows what the
Huskies are capable of.
"L'Conn should be one of the front
runners. They have Danyelle Wood
and Katie O'Toole, so ihey are defi-
nitely strong," LaFreniere said
"Rebecca |Donaghue| and jcn have
the ability to race really well at this

Men's tennis finishes fall season with win
By Jameson Heos
Collegian Staff
After two weeks away from the courts, the
Massachusetts men's tennis team finished oul the
fall season with a 6-1 win over Bryant College yes-
terday afternoon.
With the win. the Minutemen extended their
winning streak to eight games and left their record
at 8-1 for the fall season. UMass will finish out the
rest of its schedule next spring with 15 matches
against mostly Atlantic 10 foes.
UMass coach |udy Dixon was very pleased with
her team's performance and is looking lo have one
of UMass' finest seasons in memory.
"We have taken a giant step." she said. "We've
had some things really go our way Gregor Rummel
coming on this team was something that was unex-
pected, and he made a huge difference I can't say
enough about his game. He played strong at No. 2
doubles and at No. 2 singles the whole way
through."
Rummel. a foreign exchange student from
Europe, played in his final match at UMass yester-
day by smothering Mike Gisler t>- 1 . b-2. After he
lost his first match of the year, Rummel did not
lose a set the rest of the way. Dixon Inserted
Rummel at No. 1 singles for his finale yesterday
and he left UMass with an seven-game winning
streak, along with an impressive 7-1 record.
At No. 4 singles, sophomore Alex Aller has com-
piled an 8-0 record while struggling with an acute
Achilles heel injurv. The ailment has hindered his
mobility for the last five matches, but it fias not
ahered his play as he has only lost two sets all year.
Aller continucNd his stellar play with a 6-4. 6-1 dis-
patching of Brian Fries.
"I lost a lot of weight over the summer." Aller
said. "I played everyday for three months with
intense training and thank God, it paid off. I've
tried to keep my intensity up and it has really
helped the whole team."
Freshmen Todd Cheney and |ason Blind also fin-
ished out imprc-ssive seasons with victories yester-
day. -Xi No. 5 singles. Cheney defeated Derek Ryan
b-l. b-0 to leave his record at 6-2. while Blind
beat Rick Boles 6-5. 6-0. Blind never lost a set all
season while playing three matches at No. 6 sin-
gles.
Senior co-captains Justin Lynn and Darren Tow
wrapped up the day at No. 2 and No. 3, respec-
tively. Lynn improved his record to 5-5 with his
6-2. 6-4 win over Andy Lipsky. while Tow lost a
grueling 4-6, 5-6 match to lason Wall leaving his
record at 2-3. Dixon is looking for Tow to come
out strong next spring and is hoping that he will
fill the void left by Ankur Baishyu at No. 5 sin-
gles.
Baishyu had to withdraw from the University last
week due to a medical problem. Baishyu had
played strong all year and his 5-2 record for the
fall will be missed next spring.
Earlier in the day at No. I doubles. Lynn and
Aller beat Fries and Wall 8-5. followed by
Cheney's and Ginley's 8-1 win over Dave
Azzolino and Boles at No. 5 doubles. At No. 2
doubles, Eric Peters filled in for injured freshman
Mike Skecis to help Rummel get past Lipsky and
Gisler 8-5
The Minutemen will be off until spring break
comes except for Lynn and Aller. who will head to
Philadelphia. Pcnn. for the Rolex Championships
Nov. 2. Lynn will t>e plaving in the singlc-s division
and then will team with Aller for the doubles seg-

Tyson, Bowe prepare for fights with public workout
By Tim Oahlberg
Aisocioled Presi
LAS \iGAS It may have been
a preview of what's to come Nov. 4.
Mike Tyson drew the crowd, while
Riddick Bowe put on the better
show.
Two of the headliners in compet-
ing Nov 4 heavyweight fights had a
little prelighi skirmish yesterday with
a pair of competing public workouts
thai differed as much in style as thev
did in substance. Tyson drew some
1 .000 people to the outdoor theme
park at the MGM Grand Hotel for a
brief workout that featured him
doing some neck exercises and then
hitting the heavy bag for a few min-
utes. Many in the crowd couldn't
even see Tyson working oul next to
the outdoor ring, and the announce

crowd could see Tyson was when he
got into the ring and did some exer-
cises 10 strengthen his neck while a
camouflage-clad member o( his
entourage stood over him yelling
"guerilla warfare" and "fight time."
Tyson made it worthwhile lor those
who stayed, however, spending near-
ly an hour afterward paiienllv signing
autographs for the crowd
'It's hard lo work out loo long in
front of people." said Tyson, who
fights Buster Mathi> Ir. on Nov 4.
"Sometimes I'm sort of shy and
embarrassed. It was pretty interest-
ing. I appreciate the people coming
out to see me."
Bowe. meanwhile, lollowed
Tyson's workout with one of his own
ifial drew about 500 people to the
Crystal Room showroom at the
Desert Inn hotel-casino down ihe Ijjs
Vegas Strip They got more of a
show, watching Bowe spar six full
rounds against four differeni Nparring
partners in preparation lor his sched-
uled 12-round tight against Lvander
Holyfield on the same night as the
Tyson-Mathis fight
While Tyson worked out before
about a dozen of his Team Tyson
camp members and assorted burly
bodyguards. Bowe's sparring session
was far more relaxed and easy for
spectators lo see.
Bowe did his best lo put on a
show, and on several occasions
exhorted his sparring partners lo do
the same.
"Come on. hit me." Bowe yelled
out to sparring panner Al Williams,
who obliged by going two spirited
rounds with Ihc former heavyweight
champion.
Williams seemed to gel the tielter
of Bowe until the last 50 seconds of
the second round, when Bowe picked
up the pace and landed several blows
that shook Williams despite the over-
sized gloves and headgear used in
sparring session.

a diverse back. He can go inside
and outside. He doesn't have any
shortcomings that I can see."
Developing an all-around game
There aren't many shortcom-
ings in Ingoglia's game, if any at
all. He has developed into an
all-around back since he arrived
five years ago (redshirted in
I '}') I ). Running was the name of
Ingoglia's game heading into his
collegiate career, yet he has
added other facets to his game.
Gordon, a 1982 UMass graduate
and former teammate of
Pearson, has been here for the
same amount of time as
Ingoglia, and he hasn't seen any
better.
"Rene's ihe best back I've ever
seen here." Gordon said without
hesitation. "We've had some
good runners — lerome Bledsoe,
lohnnie Johnson. They were
good backs, but Rene brings
more to the table, especially
blocking. The other thing about
Rene is he makes the offense
better. The line loves blocking
lor him. and he loves running
behind them."
Markowski, the junior right
tackle who anchors the side
Ingoglia's normal route runs
through, wouldn't have it any
other way.
"I love him at fullback, since he
runs more inside." Markowski
.said "lluit way. if I push my guy
a cenain way. Rene's going to get
some yards.
"Rene just doesn't stop moving.
I don't think I fiave ever seen one
person bring him down. He takes
the first hit. but he keeps on
going. During the Northeastern
game, he dragged a defender /5
yards down field."
As for Hodges, he's been
around some 17 years. In that
lime, he has seen a plethora of
running backs go through the sys-
tem which has revolved around
the running game. Coaching
Ingoglia. Hodges admits 10 seeing
something truly special.
"Obviously fie has a lot of abili-
ty." Hodges said "I think one of
the things that make him special is
his intensity he plays the game
with You won't find anyone that
works fiarder in the weight room,
or lakes our running program
more seriously, or with more
enthusiasm and as much consii-
Icncy. as he docs.
"You combine that with his
work ethic, his God-given talent,
and add a great competitive spirit.
He wants the football, he's a great
team player, he'll do whatever —
block, catch I think those are the
things that make him special "
Ingoglia praiMs leamnuilcs
Ingoglia likes to give credit
where credit is due. Except to
himself.
So, how about those records.
Rene?
"Records are made to be bro
ken." Ingoglia said. "You know. I
was fortunate enough. I've
played with a lot of great team-
mates, offensive line in particu-
lar. I was fortunate enough lo
break these records, and I'm sure
someday soon, they'll be broken,
as well."
Ingoglia says that the career
rushing record would be his
favorite, since it marks consisten-
cy.
"I don't do anything too spec-
tacular. I'm not flashy. I just try
to play everyday as hard as I can.
and |the record) is a tribute to
the offensive line and my team
mates I have in front of me The
defense gets you the ball, and
you obviously can't break
records and score points and
rush for yards without the ball,
and the defense gets yuu it."
Ingoglia said.
When speaking lo Ingoglia
about his play, the answers drift
off into praising his fellow team-
mates. His records... are going lo
be broken by somebody else, his
career rushing record., is chiefly
because of his teammates gelling
him the ball. Ingoglia. as modest
as they come, is a consummate
team player with great work
el hie.
Gordon says how. when
Ingoglia was a freshman, the run-
ning back corps wasn't working
hard during a practice. Gordon
said Ingoglia brought his work
ethic, and everyone saw how
good he was, so they followed his
lead. Four years later, they have
the best backfield in the confer
ence. and Ingoglia's the primary
reason.
NFL in Ingoglia's future
Ingoglia has five games left in
his collegiate career. That's five
more Saturdays to move up in Ihe
ranks of rushing yardage and
touchdown totals. That's five
more afternoons to showcase his
talent for the next level, the one
that is there after collegiate ball
NFL teams have expressed inter-
est, as every team but the Dallas
Cowboys has sent a scout to
watch him. He'll play in the \9^
Hula Bowl All-Star Clastic to
grab some attention.
"The goal's there. Ihe thoughts
don't change." Ingoglia said. 'My
main thought right now, though.

UM soccer teams host nationally ranked opponents
mMinutewomen to face 'No. 3 UConn uMinutemen set to take on No. 15 URl
By Candice Flemming
Collegian Sloft
It V been ihe rivalry for years.
Forget Hartford-Massachusetts or George Washington
Massachusetts. 7"/iis is ihe real rivalry.
It's the Connecticut Huskies vs. the Massachusetts
Minuiewomen. It's the No. 5 team in the
nation against the No. 13 team in the
nation. It's a showdown between the last
two Northeast Region NCAA Final Four
participants.
It'^ going to be a i>attle.
"It's always been a big one. a
hard-foughi game." Massachusetts coach
)im Rudy said. "It's a big rivalry. When I
got here, that was the rivalry. It's been
traditionally one of the biggest ones in the
couniry. I know our people will be up fc>r
it."
The Huskies (I 4-1-1) come into
Amherst riding a 14-game winning
streak, a streak thai includes a 5^ vicio
ry over Noire Dame — the learn that
broke North Carolina's 100- plus win-
ning streak last season on its way lo the
National Championship game. They've also won live road
games in a row. and will hope to win their sixth against
the Minuiewomen.
L'Conn's only loss of Ihe year came in its first game
against Oregon Slate, a 2-1 defeat. In their next game, the
Huskies lied current No. 2 Portland. 5-5. From then on.
it's been all W's.
The UConn fronlrunners are extremely talented as si\
Huskies have at least 1 5 points on the season.
"They have a very athletic, fast, dynamic, attacking
team." Rudy said. "Not only starters, but substitutes as
well who are very aggressive, go forward and get goals."
One of those substitutes is lana Carabino, who just hap-
pens lo lead the Northeast Region in goals ( 141 vshile also
accumulating three assists for >1 fwinls. The Huskies also
boast the nation's assist leader in Kerry Connors, who has
1 7 on the season. Connors also leads the team in total
fKiints with 35. along with nine goals.
Margaret Tieljen is the third-leading scorer for the
Huskies with 2b points (nine goals, eight assistsl while
her twin sister lennifer Tietjen is fifth on ihe team in scor-
ing with 17 points (four goals, nine assists).
Christy Rowe, who was a medical redshirt in 1994. is
fourth on the team in scoring with nine goals and seven
assists for 25 points.
"They're going to be coming al us from all over the
Rachel LeDuc
place." Rudy said. "Their midfieid is scoring a ton of
goals They have a lot of people thai can do damage and
can score. Their front six is going to be as quick, as skill-
lul and as ollensive as any that we've seen. It's the most
athletic L'Conn team I've seen in a long lime."
In goal for the Huskies should be Siobhan Harold, who
in I) games started hd^ 11 shutouts and a 0.48
jjoals-against- average.
"Thi-- is gc>ing to be a good test for us.
I his team on paper looks really good,
explosive as hell." Rudy said. "UConn's
^•I'ing lo have lo play well lo beat us, ihey
definitely will. We're going to have lo
play very well in order lo win."
last year's game between the two
Jubs was hard-fought and physical, with
ihe Huskies coming away with Ihe 2-1
victory in Storrs. Conn In that game,
tiinny Woodward (five goals, six assists

Ricfiard F. Gartx.T Field will be rocking tomorrow al nix)n
in the biggest game of the season, as the Massachusetts
men's soccer team atlempls to put away nationally ranked
Rhode Island
The Rhode Island Rams are in first
place in the Atlantic 10 and are ranked
No. 15 in the nation. UMass is in second
place in the A- 10 and arc coming off
Wednesday's last minute I -0 victory over
Dartmouth.
Massachusetts head coach Sam Koch
knows his team must play a lot belter
than it did against 2-9 Dartmouth on
Wednesday .
"Unfortunately, we played down to the
level of our opponents." Koch said
"We're not going lo get away with that
kind of performance on Saturday. We
weren't working hard off the hwll and we
need to support each other better."
Koch believed the reason for
Wednesday's lapse against Dartmouth
could have been that UMass was looking
too far ahead to Saturday's match.

Koch is very pleased with the effori he has received
from his freshman players this year.
"They have been tremendous. Without them we
wouldn't be where we are now." said Koch, mentioning
the play of Dennis Wilson. Marc Sadd, and Scott Regina.
"We have great depth on our bench and we've had a
total team effort."
Rhode Island coach Ed Bradley is
excited for tomorrow's game loo.
"It's always a good game against
UMass." Bradley said. "UMass is playing
very well right now and it should be a big
game for both teams.
"UMass always comes out strong and
they have some good players. I expect thea-
is going lo be a big crvwd and it should be
just like a playoff game atmosphere."
Rhode Island sports an undefeated
record of 14-1>-I. 8-0 in the Atlantic 10.
the latest victory txing a 2-0 win against
Providence on Wednesday.
"We expect Rhode Island to come out
hard and put a lot of pressure on us."
KiK'h said. "The three guys thc7 have up
front are dangerous and we need to shut
them down."
Andrew Williams is the leader on the team with 12
goals and 10 assists. Paulo Dos Santos is another threat to
score and Michael Bradley, the son of coach Bradley, has
1 1 assists lo lead the Rams. Goalie Anthony L.atronica has
only given up seven goals on the year and has recorded 10
shutouts.
Minutemen setbacks for Saturday's game include Colin
lohnson. who is al sub-par condition but is probable for
the match. Bcnnie Sheally (stitches on leg) and Karslen
Bremke (deep cut in knee), who made his return two
games ago. are still not playing at full spccxl.
Goalie Eric Gruber is 100 percent though after get-
ling cleated. and it shows as he recorded his third
shutout of the year on Wednesday, with help from the
spectacular defense of Steve |ones. joe lacobson and
Brad Miller.
Rhode Island has no injuries to report and Bradley said
his team is in good physical condition.
The Minutemen have a a-cord of 12-5-2. 6-1-1 in the
A- 10. and need this win to make a bid for the Atlantic 10
title.
"This could be a preview of the Atlantic 10 finals."
Bradley said. "However, in soccer you can never look past
anyone. We have respect for UMass and we're really excit-
ed about this game."
UMass vs UConn: a rivalry renewed
By Matt Vautour
Collegian Sloff
lMlir«lllV'(01l!C.I«N
Kyle Rothenberger and the Massachusetts field hockey team face coach
Megan Donnelly's former squad, Rhode Island tomorrow.
"Come on 16 choke! Come on 16
choke!" they yelled.
To set the scene. Massachusetts
and Connecticut arc facing each
other in the 1985 Final Four for the
right lo play in the National
Championship game. After three
overtimes and two sets of strokes,
Massachusetts sophomore Megan
Donnelly (No. 16) is setting up for
her turn in the third bracket of
strokes, while the UConn fans are
screaming al her
"I'm noi usually one to hear the
crowd." she said. "but it fired me up."
Donnelly flipped home her stroke
jikI raised her fist to the crowd.
Unfortunately for Massachusetts,
I 'Conn outscorctJ the Minuiewomen
ill the stroke session and went on lo
win the game, but the game inlcnsi-
licd the rivalry even more and burned
it into f>onnclly's mind.
This Saturday, twelve years later,
the two teams are facing off again.
"It's one of the best rivalries in
field hockey," said Megan Donnelly.
now the head coach of the
Minuiewomen. "It's always an unbe-
lievable game."
The meeting between the
Minuiewomen and the Huskies will
be the 27lh battle between the two
rivals. UConn leads the all-lime
scries 14-10-2.
The Huskies are in the mid.sl of an
up-and-down season. They opened
up the year with five straight wins
and rose all the way lo third in the
nation, but now No. 15 Connecticut
has fallen recently, losing its last
three games. At 9-5, UConn will
hope to use Massachusetts as a start-
ing block toward the rest of it season,
but the Minuiewomen have other
ideas.
"A win here would make up for a
lot ol the early season problems,"
Donnelly said. "To get a win against
UConn at home is always going to be
a key thing in a season.
"We're playing really well lately.
The young players are now confident
and that makes it a lot more fun all of
a sudden."
For the Massachusetts field hockey
team. Homecoming could not have
come on a more appropriate week-
end.
The tradition of Homecoming
weekend in any sport usually the
return of alumni to their Alma Mater.
The Minuiewomen will also battle
LaSalle on Sunday, whose head
coach Kathy DeAngelis is a UMass
alum.
On paper the
Massachu.setls-LaSallc battle appears
lo be a mismatch as the Explorers
enter the game in the midst of a tough
season, checking in al 1-15. but
DeAngelis will have her squad ready as
she will try to make her a-tum to the
site of her glory days a triumphant one.
DeAngelis' field hockey career at
UMass was an impressive one. She
currently ranks third on Ihe UMass
career points list with 105 highlight-
ed by 49 goals (second all-time). She
earned All-America honors three
times and played on the US National
Team and the US Under-21 Team
and was nominated for the Broderick
Award, the highest honor in colle-
giate field hcKkey.
"I'm excited to be coming." said
DeAngelis, who spent eight years at
UMass as both a player and an assis-
tant coach. "This is where it all start-
ed for me."
While some people surrounding
UMass field hockey are disapf)ointcd
that the astroturf surface isn't down
for the season. DeAngelis is thrilled.
"I'm excited that there is no turf,"
she said. "I wanted to gel a chance to
coach a game on the grass of
Tot man."
DeAngelis will not be the only for-
mer Minuiewoman at Tolman field
this weekend, as Donnelly has heard
from several alumni that have
promised lo be in attendance.
"We know that there is a lot of
alums coming. This will probably be
the last homecoming game on this
field." she said. "Having them here just
shows what this program is about.
You don'l just come here and play. It
becomes part of your identity. You
always check and see who the program
is doing. You always support the team
because it's still pan of you out there.
"It's great for the team loo.
Because Ihey realize that they're part
of a tradition, pan of something big-
ger,"

Rocky's Horror...
National cases expand
illegal drinking liabilities
Bt)V* HiaiT/ltT.COtUCtAN
Dr. Frankenfurt and his maid get ready to scare UMass students at the annual showing of Rocky Horror
Picture Show Friday night at the Student Union Ballroom.
By Amy H. Porodysz
Collegion Staff
In two August coun cases which
expanded the interpretation of legal
responsibility, students who made
alcohol available to underage stu-
dents were found liable for a death
and a serious accident.
In the University of Arizona case,
the brothers of Delia Tau Delta
were found liable for the death of a
man who was seriously injured and
ultimately died as a result of a car
accident that look place in August
of 1988. The accident was allegedly
the fault of an underage driver, a
member of the fraternity that had
t>een drinking al one of their par-
ties, according to documents from
the Stale of Arizona Court of
Appeals.
I'residing judge luseph M
Livermore found the National
Fraternal Organization and all mcm-
tiers of the local chapter responsible
"t>ccause they had contributed lo a
social fund for the purchase of alco-
holic beverages knowing that those
tx'verages would be served lo under
age members aixJ guests uf the frater-
nity.
"Liability cannot be avoided by
knowingly engaging a committee to
do your lawbreaking," wrote
Livermore.
Even those who had not yel paid
those dues were included because as
brothers they were expected to pay
them.
The pledges, who had been chosen
shortly tK'fore the party, were also
found liable even though they were
not yel official members of the frater-
nity, had not contributed to iIk' social
fund and had not panicipated in the
planning of the parly judge Lloyd
Fernandez dissented against this deci-
sion, writing. "Under all these cir-
cumstances. 1 feel there is insufficient
evidciKe lo support this coun's rul-
ing "
This case "is especially imponani
anywhere that loosely organized
groups combine to purchase alcohol
and then fail lo adhere lo the law and
appropriate regulations in its distrib-
ution lo others," wrote Attorney
Richard M. Howland of Amherst in a
letter to the Collegian.
Nine days after the Delta Tau
Delia decision, the Supreme Coun of
New Hampshire found Eric R. Ball
liable for the injuries John E.
MacLeod sustained after consuming
alcohol he received from Ball.
"MacLeod fell from a bridge while
'pretend jumping' and suffered
severe injuries." according lo court
documents from the Supreme Court
of New Hampshire.
MacLeod, who was a 19-year-old
student at Plymouth State College al
the time of the accident, sued Ball for
providing him and three other stu-
dents — wfiom Ball knew were under
the drinking age — with "a signifi-
cant quantity of intoxicating alco-
holic ticverages." MacLevid got drunk
and fell from the bridge the next day.
Ball was found liable under the
thixiry of common law negligence.
In court. Ball argued that he
should ixtt tie found legally responsi-
ble for MacLeod's injuries because
his actions were not the "proximate
cause of the plaintiff's injuries,"
according lo court documents.
However, the jury did not accept thai
logic
"Once again the Cuurl has held
that if you are a person in control uf
the distribution of alcohol by any
means you are liable for the conse-
quences uf its wrongful diMribuliun,*

UMass community.
"I'm going lo make sure every black man and woman,
including faculty and staff, is registered to vole," he said.
The importance of the black vote ih the upcoming pres-
idential election was a topic covered by many of the major
speakers at the march, including Minister Louis
Farrakhan, Rev. Jesse Jackson and Dr. Benjamin Chavis.
Waire said the urgency with which these community lead-
ers addressed the issue inspired him to bring the message
back to Amherst.
"The pulilical implications echoed throughout the black
diaspora." he said "It wasn't only a day of atonement, but
also a day of political empowerment."
Waire. a microbiology major, said his decision lo com-
mit himself lo such a large undertaking is due to his frus-
tration in the low voter registration both in a
politically-charged atmosphere like UMass. and in Ihe
nation as whole, where eight million blacks are currently
unregistered. According to Waire. support for the project
will be provided by Ihe Black Student Union. Afrik-Am
and the Pan-Hellenic Council.
"I'm very disappointed to see blacks on campus and in
this couniry not voting," he said "In 1965, 1964. 1965.
there were people who died to ensure Ihe right lo vole.
Thirty years later — how soon we forget."
When Waire arrived at the University four years ago, he
said he became immediately involved in the polilical
scene, having been infiuenced by his brothers in the his-

US-Cuban relations in media are analyzed
By Neman Rozemberg
Collegion Staff
Although hailed as having been
terminated, the Cold War still has
lingering effects on many societies
across the globe.
Both the United Slates and Cuba
continue to portray one another as
each other's ultimate enemy, and this
is clearest when each country
describes the other through the mass
media, Alfredo Prieto said at
Hamjjshirc College last Thursday.
Prieto. of the Center for the
Study of the Americas in Havana,
gave a talk on this subject entitled
"Imaging the Enemy: Cuba in the
U.S. Media; the U.S. in the Cuban
Media."
According lo Prieto. most
Americans may know some things
about Cuba, but do not know too
much about Cubans
The reasons behind this fact.
Prieto said, arc multiple: the polilical
legacies of the Cold War, the role of
the media's portrayal of the Cuban
pcvple. the lack of contact between
the two nations' peoples — all this
affect the way Americans sec
Cubans.
Prieto said Ihe role of Ihe media is
one of the most important factors.
The American media lakes most of
its information about Cuba directly
from government information ser-
vices, and it constantly presses for
the introduction of free market
reforms as the sole solution of the
island's problems.
Also, the media often misinforms
the public by not providing "the
whole truth" atxiui the news being
dispersed.
The United Slates concentrates tcx)
much on a campaign of "economic
negativism" toward Cuba, Prieto
said.
There are three different levels of
perception as lo how Cubans see Ihe
United States, according to Prieto.
The first comes from what school
textbooks say; second is the vision
the Cuban government gives; and
third, the way the mass media
depicts the United States also plays a
great deal in shaping the Cuban ide-
ology.
Prieto emphasized the role of the
media, which, he said, has two main
problems. One, "the great dose of
triumphalism" which is injected
Canada gears up for independence vote;
poll shows Quebec split down the middle
MONTREAL (AP) - A week
before Quebec's 5 million voters
decide whether they want indepen-
dence from Canada, a poll pub-
lished Saturday found the race loo
close to call.
According to the new poll, 45.8
percent of people said they would
vole "yes" for independence on
Oct. 50. while 42.2 percent said
they would vote "no." The sepa-
ratists need 50 percent of the vote
to win.
The survey of 1.005 voters
between Monday and Friday was
conducted by Legcr and I.cgcr for
the Toronto Globe and Mail and Le
journal de Montreal. It had a margin
of error of 5. 1 percentage points.
It was the third poll in a week lo
show the "yes" side with a slight
edge — and the third to show that
neither side had 50 percent of the
vote.
Daniel lohnson. leader of the
anti-separatist Quebec Liberals,
appealed lo Prime Minister lean
Chretien on Saturday to help his
cause by offering to make constitu-
tional changes that would recog-
nize Quebec as a separate society.
"It would be desirable from our
perspective that an increasing num-
ber of polilical leaders in Canada.
as some already have, echo our
view of what the future holds for
Quebec as part of Canada." he
said.
Bui the prime minister rcfu.sed.
"We're not talking about the
Constitution." he said "We're talk-
ing about the separation of Quetiec
from the rest of Canada."
l.ucien Bouchard, head of the
separatist Bloc Quebecois in the
federal parliament, was encouraged
by Ihe latest poll results, which
gave his side a slightly larger edge
than previous polls. "In fact, a Yes
victory is at our dcxjrslep," he lold
a rally in Baic-Comeau.
through official publications — a
very "plain and unreal vision" that
polarizes socicly. in a similar way to
the situation in the U.S. media.
Cuban journalists, said Prieto. lend
to focus mostly on positive achieve-
ments of the administration, and
avoid tackling head- on the big
problems that the common people
in the street bring up on a daily
basis.
The second problem stems precise-
ly from the commoner — what Prieto
calls the "message receiver." Most
Cutwns tend to not be aware of many
of the issues the media brings up, and
education play a critical role in this.
According to Prieto, only one in 1 5
Cuban youth graduates from high
school.
The result of this is that most
"Cubans know the experience of liv-
ing in the Third WoHd. but also have
an awareness of wfiat the First World
is," Prieto said.
Similarly to U.S. media, in Cuba
news agencies project the other coun-
try In a negative light; by discussing
social inequalities, drug addiction
rales, rampant xenophobia — what
the Cuban media does is in fact give
"the dark side of the United Stales,"
according to Prieto.
Debate and dialogue of critical
issues affecting the Cuban masses
must be increased, although "debate
implies diversity, and many Cubans
fear that this could lead to societal
fragmentation, said Prieto.
"The polarized vision that mani-
fests in negative views Iwhich come]
in black and white with no gray" is
what must be changed in order for
both Cuban and American media
systems to work toward a more com-
prehensive understanding and
acceptance of one another, Prieto
said.
New Boston memorial
remembers Holocaust
By Kotherina Webster
Associatad Press
BOSTON — Alongside the
Freedom Trail, which links
Boston's historic colonial and
Revolutionary War sites, lies
another path through a lime and
six places where human freedom
and dignity were destroyed.
Hundreds of people lined up
Sunday lo walk through the New
England f-lolocausi Memorial, six
glass towers evoking the six main
Nazi death camps. "The lowers are
etched with 6 million numbers,
representing the 6 million lews
who were exterminated.
"Until you gel inside and see
the numbers, you don'l realize
how many people died," said
Margery Wieder, of Newton. "No
matter if you're Jewish or not
Jewish, or if you had family who
died or not, everybody loses when
something like this happens."
The memorial, which was dedi-
cated Sunday, starts with a path
that runs between two low stone
walls engraved with a brief history
of the Holocaust. The path contin-
ues through the towers, which
have quotations from Holocaust
survivors etched at eye level. The
floor of each 54foot tower is a
grate covering black rocks that
glow like coals al night, when
each lower is lit up and steam
rises like smoke from their lops.
The single word "Remember" is
carved at the beginning and end of
Ihe path.
"Ixwk at these towers, passer-
t^y, and try to imagine what they
really mean, what they symlwlize.
what they evoke," said Nobel
Peace Prize winner Elie WiescI al
the dedication ceremony. "They
evoke the walchiowers. They also
evoke those who watch over the
walchiowers. They evoke an era
of incommensurate darkness, an
era in history when civilization
lost its humanity." Wiesel said.
The monument, which was 10
years in the planning and took six
months lo build, was designed by
San Francisco architect Stanley
Saitowilz. Saitowitz, along with
Gov William F Weld, Boston
Mayor Thomas Menino, and a
host of politicians and clergy of all
faiths attended the dedication al
City flail Plaza, across ihe street.
"Here God speaks lo us: 'Turn not
your back on your own flesh,"'
said Cardinal Bernard l.aw in his
prayer of invocation. "Here our
hearts are seared with the memory
not only of epic and diabolical
hate and prejudice, but also of
that persistent moral erosion that
marks its course by indifference."
Law warned his listeners lo be
vigilant in guarding human rights,
saying he saw the altitudes that
led to the Holocaust in the so-
called "ethnic cleansing" in
Bosnia, deportations in Libya and
a rising tide of American prejudice
against immigrants. The concen-
tration camp survivors who spon-
sored the memorial said ihey
hoped it would teach future gener-
ations afxtut the corrosive effects
of bias anywhere, anytime.

Blind Melon lead singer dies in sleep
By Eileen Loh
Assoc ioled PreiJ
NEW ORLEANS — .After a decade of drug use and
run ins with the law. Blind Melon singer Shannon Hoon
decided to clean up his act. curb his temper and be a
good father to his infant daughter. He also anticipated a
creative departure from the breezy, alternative-pop
image his band had built up since its self-titled debut
album skyrocketed up the chans in 1995.
Ffoon, 28. never fully realized either goal. He died in
his sleep Saturday on a tour bus in New Orleans. The
cause of death was not immediately known, and the
coroner would say only that autopsy results were expect-
ed today.
Blind Melon was to play at the famed Tipitina's music
club, where a wreath hung on the door in Hoon"s honor.
"He would have electrified this crowd." said |osh
Stevens, father of guitarist Roger Stevens, as he sur-
veyed the audience.
Hoon's grieving bandmates gathered at the house of
drummer Glen Graham in New Orleans, "remembering
the good things about Shannon... They're like a family."
losh Stevens said.
Bom in Lafayette. Ind.. Richard Shannon Hoon was a
varsity athlete in high school. At 17. he moved to Los
Angeles, met his future bandmates and began dabbling
in drugs and alcohol.
Hoon was dogged by trouble. In October 1995. he
faced nudity and indecent exposure charges after he
stripped and urinated onstage during a concert in
Vancouver, British Columbia. He was also charged with
attacking a security guard during the taping of the
American Music Awards in February 1994.
While recording "Soup." Hoon was arrested for drunk
and disorderly conduct in New Orleans.
The album was skewered by critics as unfocused and
plodding, without the crispness of the self-titled debut
release and without a standout like 1995's "No Rain."
The video, featuring a 10-year-old actress cavorting in a
bee costume, became the group's signature.
"I am hotheaded sometimes." Hoon told the Detroit
Free Press in a March 1994 interview. "I'm not the
peace-loving guy that everybody thinks I am. I've got a
lot of bad elements inside me. I'm trying to control
them."
Learning his girlfriend of 10 years. Lisa Crouse. was
pregnant was a turning point for Hoon.
"This is all fun and youth-prolonging, but I'm going to
be a father, and it's hard to be when you're away." he
told The Associated Press last month. "I need to start
caring for myself if I'm going to be the proper father."
"New Life." a track on "Soup," is a tribute to 5-
monih-old daughter Niko Blue.

"I met brothers in my fraternity who took part in the
New Africa House takeover," he said. "They were very
politically active on campus."
However, in the time between his first collegiate year
and the present, Waire said he believes there has been a
decrease in the number of active black students, a trend
which may reverse in the wake of last week's march.
"1 hope {the march] was a wake-up call," he said. "I see
some hope soon."
Another Indication that University activism on the part
ol black students may be in the midst of a turnaround was
the high first-year student representation at the year's
first BSU general interest meeting. Waire said. Continuing
this surge in participation is the du<y of experienced stu-
dents who might offer insight to fresh voices in the black
community, he added.
"There is a need to develop freshmen and sopho-
mores on campus in the future," Waire said. "I think it's
the responsibility of the upperclassmen to do that. It's
making sure they're on the up-and-up, on the right
track."
Waire admitted he still retained optimism about the
black role in the direction Washington will take in coming
years. He cited slain black leader Malcolm X's famous
quote about the two means by which political power may
be assumed — "the ballot or the bullet."
"In my opinion, the option is still the ballot." he said.
"It can still make a change in this country."

Christian speaks of suffering
HIV positive hemophiliuc tells 1 50 he finds hope in Christ
By J«ffr«y J. DiGiovanni
Collegion Staff
"Christ gives me hope." said
Steve Sawyer, a twenty year- old
HIV positive hemophiliac who
spoke in the Campus Center
Friday night to an audience of
about 150 sponsored by Campus
Crusade for Christ.
Sometime between I9«l and
1983 Sawyer was infected with
HIV. Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C
from his hemophilia treatment.
Living on borrowed lime. Sawyer
now suffers with the added condi-
tion of cirrhosis of the liver.
"I was given no more than six
months to live." he said. 'That
was eight months ago."
Sawyer has chosen to use the
time he has left to tell the story of
what has kept him alive so long —
belief in Christ. Drawing froin
personal experience. Sawyer high-
lighted three unsuccessful ways to
deal with suffering.
"In high school. I got sick." he
said. "I went from 145 pounds to
1 1 5 pounds in a matter of weeks.
I couldn't keep anything down.
This was the first lime the serious-
ness of the sickness hit me."
After two years of denial.
Sawyer said he began to blame
others.
"I blamed the homosexuals and
God." he said. "One day. after I
got through cursing God. my
father walked into my bedroom,
and he said to me. "I can't help
you. You can't h'elp you. Your
mother can't help you. The doc-
tors can't help you. The only one
who can help you is God."
Within a week. Sawyer's T-cell
count jumped up from below 2D0
to 365 and he gained his weight
back.
"The last way I dealt with my
illness badly is through anger,
which is something I still struggle
with." he said.
After becoming a Christian in
college about a year later. Sawyer
said he was given what he needed
to keep going, which was hope "in
dealing with pain and suffering."
"The one thing that will get you
through is hope, which is some-
thing that doesn't exist in our cul-
ture." he said.
Sawyer further emphasized his
point with an allegory about an
experiment performed on a trio of
rats.
According to Sawyer, the pro-
fessor conducting the experiment
placed two ol the rats into a bowl
filled with water, resulting m their
drowning. However, the third rat
was subjected to a different vari-
able, he said.
"As the third rat went under,
(the professor) pulled it out of the
bowl to let it get a breath of air
and put it back in the water,"
Sawyer said. "It swam around for
the whole class period, and
overnight, until the next day when
class began. At this point the
professor look the rat from the
bowl and put it back in the cage.
A' this point the professor said,
'the difference between the two
rats is that the second one had
hope."

Oil production is destroying Ecuadorian rain forests
By Michelle Lugo
Collegian Siatt
"As I am talking to you. I am
thinking of my people. Wc are 500 in
Ecuador, completely independent
with our livelihoods linked to life in
the jungle." said Elias Piyahuaje
Payahuaje. president of the
Organization of Indigenous Secoya
from Ecuador.
Piyahuaje Payahuaje and his wife,
Isolina Saturia Siquihua Machos,
spoke last Thursday at Hampshire
College on the dcstruclion produced
by oil production in the Ecuadorian
rain forest which connects to the
South American Amazon. A local
grass-roots organization called
Friends of the Amazon Secoya.
together with the Institute of Science
and Interdisciplinary Studies (ISIS)
at Hampshire College, co- .sponsored
the event.
According 10 Piyahuaje Payahuaje.
oil exploitation changed the entire
livelihood system by reducing Secoya
land to a small area and contaminat-
ing the rivers with oil and other
chemical wastes. He estimated that
around 400 companies have sprung
up since I'ibi.
The Secoyans are an indigenous
people who hundreds of years ago
had no contact with people from
other worlds, only to other tribes. Oil
in the rivers is demolishing their
ecosystem since it is their only source
of drinking water; also, the fish in the
rivers, which are their principal food,
are dying because of this.

pie that did not serve the utility of
our country." said Piyahuaje
Payahuaje.
According to the lectures, water
contaminated with oil spawns a vari-
ety of illnesses, especially in children.
Machos, said children develop
headaches, rashes and complications
such as vomiting and diarrhea.
Meanwhile, pregnant women suffer
morx; miscarriages and still-births.
Piyahuaje Payahuaje and Machos
lectured in the Spanish language for
the fin>t part of the event. During the
second part, they presented a slide
show that documented with pictures
rather than words, the danuige which
they had spent the first hour describ-
ing. The slides illustrated the destruc-
tion of land and human life. They
included pictures of leaks and breaks
in oil pipes, oil oozing over roads, the
rashed skin of babies and black oil
pools with jungle flora as a backdrop.
Although Piyahuaje Payahuaje
mentioned the name of the American
oil company Te.xaco many times dur-
ing the lecture, he said Chinese and
Ecuadorian oil companies also work
in their land. The Secoyans ol
Ecuador, in conjunction with other
local and international organizations,
are in a legal battle with one of the
American oil companies, but
Piyahuaje Payahuaje will not know
until February if the court battles will
lake place in the United States or
Ecuador.
Piyahuaje Payahuaje said he hopo
that the case is tried in an American
court because the lawyers that have
been working with them can only
reprc-seni them in an American court-
room. In addition, the Secoyans had
already received a land title in the
late 1980s frum the Ecuadorian gov
emment, but it does not provide pro
lection or any guarantees because
such laws do exist definitively in
Ecuadorian law.
Both Piyahuaje Payahuaje and
Machos explained the "alternatives"
which they are working on. He said
that the projects which they would
like to get on the way. especially
with the assistance of other people,
jre water purification, aquaculture
,ind economic development sirale
^ies like a development and cxpor
lation of native crafts and ecu
tourism
Piyahuaje Payahuaje and his wife
are fighting to improve the situation
for the sake of the children and the
future generations, but a large per-
centage of the teenagers assimilate
more to mainstream Ecuadorian cul-
ture. Piyahuaje Payahuaje said. "They
(young adults I have gone have gone
outside our lands to learn. They have
learned to drink and be drunk and
smoke IcigarettesJ."

University of Massachusetts stu-
dents joe Monies and Nathan
Guerrero were the first to receive
full funding as minority students
for one of the University's most
successful study-abroad pro-
grams.
The Oxford Summer Seminar,
which just celebrated its 13th
anniversary, is a six-week pro-
gram at Trinity College, one of the
3'S separate colleges which make
up Oxford University. There, the
approximately sixty students in
the program may choose courses
in subjects such as English litera
lure, history, art history and archi
lecture, among others.
"It's a well-established pro-
gram, and It was set up with the
aim of giving American under
graduates jand postgraduatesj
the opportunity to experience
s«.>me of the academic, intellectual
and social highlights of living in
an Oxford college." said Professor
David Paroissicn, director of the
program.
Classes range in size from three
to eight students, and are con
ducted by British tutors, or
"dons," as they are termed in
England.
"it's a wholly different academ-
ic experience." Paroissien said.
"(At UMass I we consider a class
of nftecn or twenty to be a small
class."
Senior English major Monies,
who could not have afforded the
program without the scholarship,
said the "one- on-one" attention
awarded him by the tutors
inspired in him a deeper apprecia-
tion of literary scholarship, and
led him to seriously consider pur
suing English studies at the gradu
ate level.
"The tutorial system is diflerent
over there because greater
demand is placed on you." he
said. "It's nice to be in a stimulat-
ing environment where there is a
great exchange of ideas; and you
don't always gel that at UMass
because you have different levels
of interest and different levels of
seriousness. Over there everybody
was serious or else they wouldn't
have been there. Oxford influ
ences you.
"Suddenly you're in this envi-
ronment that is conducive to
learning. You feel privileged to be
there, and you feel motivated to
work your tail off. loo."
Nathan Guerrero, who gradual
ed from UMass with a degree in
history, said that even as a
non-English major he found the
experience rewarding.
"The program was fabulous."
he said. "I think to anyone with an
intea-st in English history. I would
recommend it highly. I got a much
better sense of England than jl
could have! as a tourist," he said,
adding ihai even as a non- ali
cionado of Shakespeare, he
enjoyed immensely the opportuni-
ty to attend four plays performed
f>y the Royal Shakespeare
Company as part of the Seminar's
curriculum.
Monies, who travelled on field
trips to places such as Thomas
Hardy's house in IXjrchester. and
Dickensian Rochester, also
remarked on the appeal of such
trips.
"There's something about g«.>ing
where a great writer grew up.
whea" he lived, whea- he worked,
and walking the same gR>unds he
might have walked when he was
in the act of writing." he said.
"There's something magic about
it."
Students attending the pro-
gram, which is open to under-
graduates and graduates from
anywhere within the United
Slates ur Canada, may earn up to
eight credits towards their
degree.
Next Monday Paroissien will be
conducting an information session
and slide show in the Campus
Center. 4-5 p.m.

Opinion/Editorial
Tragedy cannot cloud a dream realized
Justin C.
Smith
There art- so mdny ihings \»i' lake for granted in life
ihal are overlooked on an everyday basis. Often,
in the most tragic of cireutnstanccs we all are
reminded that we should appreciate the little things.
Playing collegiate hockey was the ultimate dream for
.30- year-old Boston University freshman Travis Roy.
Friday night, for the first time. Roy was living that
dream. But like a dream you never want to wake up
from, it ended loo abruptly.
Eleven seconds into his first shift during the
HU-Norlh Dakota game. Roy laid sprawled on the ice at
Waller Brown Arena After attempting a body check on
a Fighting Sioux forvkard. Roy slipped off of his intended
target and went into the boards head first.
As he lay on the ice. he could not feel
his eMremities. His coach, teammates and
lather came from out ol the stands to be
at his side, but could do nothing to help
his condition. Roy's fourth cervical verte-
bra was broken, which in most cases
means there will be no recovery with regards to the
lunctions of arms and legs. Roy. who was not able to
feel anything from his neck down, told hi» father he
knew he was in "big trouble."
Imagine yourself in that position. You would never be
able to go through your everyday routine again. So many
things would run through my own mind, things that I
might not ever be able to do for the rest of my life.
Living in a coastal town. I love taking walks on the
beach. I would never be able do thai again. If I ever had
children, I could never teach them to catch a baseball
Driving, swimming and even feeding myself would be an
impossibility. Going to the bathroom would always
require help, A p>aralyzed person necessitates constant
supervision.
Even so. the most revealing and inspiring thing I have
heard come form any athlete in any sport, was said dur-
ing the 20 minute dead silence while Roy lay prone in
fruni of the Terrier crowd.
"I made it." he said.
He made the Boston University Terriers hockey team.
He could not move any part, nor feel any part of his
body, but what was not lost on this young man. was the
fact he achieved the ultimate goal he set for himself.
The year before, while the team he longed to play for
was vying the National Championship in Providence,
R.I., he sat in the stands saying he didn't care about
playing professional hockey or spending his collegiate
hockey days anywhere but at Boston University.
The moment was so important to Roy that many of his
friends who attended Tabor Academy went to see him
realize his dream in person And if they could not make
into the Arena for the event, they watched
Irom their dorms to see someone they all
admired greatly in his moment of glory.
What they ended up seeing was horrific.
What was to be such a glorious day for
their friend may have been his last as a
fully functional human being. After the 48 hours of
spinal shock is over it will be known whether any sort of
recovery is possible in his case. The outlook, however, is
not promising. In most cases of his particular injury
paralysis is imminent.
In a press conference, his father, in tears, told the
press that if his son could choose where he would have
wanted this to have happened, it would have been on the
Terriers home ice.
Travis Roy lived his dream and he wanted nothing
else. In a world where money hoarding athletes just
think about themselves, a non-paid college athlete
showed everyone there is more to the sports than just
money.
He didn't ask "Why did this happen to me?" He
appreciated the fact he got to do what so very few peo-
ple in their lives get a chance to do: live their dream.

Article outright
ignorant &
homophobic
To the Editor:
I am writing in response to Evan
Young's article on Oct. 19. Mr.
Young, your editorial regarding the
gay. lesbian, bisexual community
was the most inaccurate misinformed
essay that I have read since I began
going here last year. It includes sev-
eral erroneous assumptions and
questions. I have several questions
for you.
Were you ever beaten up or threat-
ened because you were straight?
Have you ever get financially cut off
because you are straight? Have you
ever been ridiculed, or made to feel
like a pervert because you arc
straight? Have you been told that
you will not be able to get married or
work with kids because you're
straight? Did you purposely ever not
hold hands with your girlfriend
because you arc straight? Did you
choose to be straight?
Mr. Young, if I replaced Ihe word
straight with gay in the above para-
graph, I could let you know that I
meet gay. lesbian and bisexual peo-
ple who fall into these categories
every day. And by the way, I am dam
proud of who I am and my life is cer-
tainly far from a sad story.
Actually, I am very content with
myself and my friends who arc both
gay and straight. Maybe, my lime
during high schtxjl where I actually
did lose all of my friends would not
have existed if it weren't for people
like yourself who refuse to realize
that sexuality is not a choice.
Mr. Young, get over it and deal
with it. Hcterosexuality is not nor-
mal, it's just common.
Don M. Keizer

To the Editor:
I am writing in response lo Evan
Young's article on Oct. 19.
So I'm gay. That's nice. Why
should you care? Why should I go
out of my way to tell you when ll
really makes no difference at all
except in my own personal life?
Why is a National Coming Out Day
necessary? Why should I have lo
spend my lime and energy, which I
should be devoting lo my studies,
trying to create the supportive, sale,
educational environment that, in
theory, I have a right lo expect any-
way?
Why should I have to worry about
the loss of friends, family, employ-
ment and housing because of some-
thing as essentially private and per-
sonal as my sexual orientation? Why
should I face the threat of violence
(against which the closet is no
defense. Mr. Young) simply because
my identity happens to "llow against
the mainstream"? Why should my
experience be treated as invisible
unless I go out of my way lo "set
myself aside"?
Why should I have to depend on
GLBT groups, gay bars, gay nights at
straight bars and articles like this
one to have my cultural identity
included in the collective conscious-
ness? When Mr. Y'oung (or anyone
else) can provide satisfactory
answers to these questions, I will
gladly dispense with National
Coming Out Day.
just a word about the "armpit of
social and sexual diversity": most of
us pay between $6,000 and $1 1,000
each year to this great institution so
that it can teach us about the social-
ly, sexually and culturally diverse
world in which we must eventually
live. Of course. Mr. Young, as my
grandmother is fond of saying, an
education is the one thing a person is
willing to pay for and not gel.
LouiM R, Codchaux
Sunderland
To the Editor:
Mr. Young wrote an article asking
questions as to why gays, lesbians
and bisexuals need to celebrate
Coming Out Day. and why do they
need such a day at all? I can answer
thai quite simply: because coming
out of the closet is important to the
GLBT community, and is a
life-changing experience.
No longer do you appear lo be
pan of "the mainstream" as Mr.
Young put it. You are as apart from
the "norm" as a black, asian. hispan-
ic or Cape Verdean is from being
Caucasian. Is Mr. Young saying thai
physical differences matter, but sexu-
al differences don't?
Mr. Young also said thai coming
out put the GLBT community as
separate from the mainstream. The
GLBT community has always been
separated from the mainstream,
and not by their choice. Instead of
hiding what wc are, pretending we
are something we are not, and not
"upsetting" others by acting in the
same fashion as the mainstream,
we express our preferences and
show our individuality by coming
out and admitting that we have a
difference.
Preferring to have sex with some-
one of the same gender as oneself is
as individual as people are. It also
has as much significance as liking
one kind of food more than another;
it's a personal preference.
Unfortunately, it doesn't gel treated
that way. Many groups feel that the
GLBT community is made up of per-
verts. .At the very least, some hetero-
sexual people feel uneasy when the
are near a known homosexual of the
same gender as ihey are.
The reason a gay man's experi-
ences in college are more newswor-
thy than those of a straight man is
because of this discrimination from
the "mainstream" heterosexual com-
munity. If the GLBT community
were treated no differently than any-
one else, it wouldn't be an issue.
Is Mr. Young trying to blame the
GLBT community for inequalities in
treatment that members of the com-
munity suffer? Why not blame the
lews, Gypsies, political prisoners
and gays and lesbians that were
brought lo the Nazi concentration
camps for the way they were treat-
ed?
When the GLBT community has
the same rights as everyone else, and
their rights are upheld and enforced
in the same manner as those of the
"mainstream," then the difference
that Mr. Young is complaining about
will disappear. In the meantime, I
will respectfully decline to go back to
the closet. My spirit is too big for
such a confining space, and to pre-
tend I am something that I am not is
against everything I believe in.
Vicky Dunbar
Sunderland
To the Editor:
After attending UMass for four
years, this is my first lime writing to
the Collegian. I have often read edi-
torials that really upset me, but I
kept my opinions to myself. No
more.
I won't criticize the Collegian
itself for printing homophobic edito-
rials, because that's why the
Collegian is there. Evan Young can
write "Sick of the PC environment"
and 50 people like myself can
respond with our thoughts. We also
need the Collegian so that they can
write articles about National Coming
Out Day.
As Mr. Young himself said, "if
there were no coming out day, or
GLB groups or gay bars... where
would that put (homo- and biscxual-
ity] in the thoughts of our society?"
Back in the closet, that's where.
Without all of these things, the
straight society would deny that
homo- and bisexuals are real people,
or that they even exist. Then they
would be forced to live in secret or
deny their own identity as many have
for far loo long, and some still do.
'Why should I care?" Exactly, why
should you care about one whole
p>age in the Collegian once a year? In
a newspaper with an average of 1 2
pages per issue, printed 140 limes a
year, why should you care about one
page in 1680? Personally. I don't
give a damn about sports, but that
gets about three pages every day.
That's 420 pages of sports, but I'm
not complaining because I know
there are people who care.
Now, don't start thinking I'm
some crazy radical liberal political
activist. I'm just an average senior
mechanical engineering student.
Well, maybe not so average.

To the Editor:
I loo become a little disheartened
when I feel as though I need to walk
on eggshells as not lo upset those
more politically correct than myself
I was enlightened to sec that some-
one on this campus may feel the
same way I do. But I think that the
title of your article, "Sick of the PC
environment" was a euphemism,
because the use of something such as
"Queer Bashing: Ignorance and
Heleroscxism," which is much closer
to the mark, would have been
viewed as in poor taste.
I read your article (loo bad you
can't say the same for Wendy's arti-
cle) and I believed it lo be in my
own best interest as a member of the
"homosexual populace on campus"
to voice my opinion of some of your
comments and answer those ques-
tions you left unanswered (or didn't
directly contradict) in your piece.
As for "setting aside a special
day... (for) professing their sexual
orientation." I have one word —
Weddings. At this time. GLBT can-
not legally marry in the United
Slates.
As for your statement. "It seems
like a surefire way to be ostracized"
concerning standing out against the
mainstream, if we use your definition
of mainstream, you are correct. |ust
ask women, minorities and disabled
persons.
As for your closing argument
about "others being more accepting"
if wc "didn't set ourselves aside;" it
is my opinion that if we don'l "set
ourselves aside," our voice will fall
on the deaf cars of people who, like
yourself, are too egotistical and het-
erosexist to realize that GLBT people
are being oppres.sed every day.
In closing, 1 would like lo thank
you for trying to be the deodorant in
our little "armpit of social and sexual
diversity" that we like lo call UMass.
If you are lonesome and this article
was just a cheap ploy to get more
mail — grow up. Michael Morrisscy
graduated; we still have to put up
with you.
Eric P. Cammer

To the Editor:
I am writing in response lo Evan
Young's editorial "Sick of the PC
Environment." In his editorial Mr.
Young expressed hfs feelings on
National Coming Out Day, and
asked a number of questions about
the necessity (or lack thereof) for the
existence of such a day. His own
feelings as expressed by the editorial
would seem to indicate that he feels
no expression of sexuality is neces-
sary, that being gay, lesbian or bisex-
ual should only influence a person's
personal life.
Despite the likelihood that Mr.
Young is simply fishing for a
response, his comments are nol
wholly invalid in that a number of
people over the years have expressed
similar concerns to me. So, why is
National Coming Out Day impor-
tant? GLBT folk are an invisible
minority. That is lo say, unless we
make a fuss about our sexuality, no
one can readily identify us.
Making this fuss and becoming
visible is the whole idea behind
National Coming Out Day. Being an
invisible minority, GLBT folk on
campus often feel very alone. In a
.society thai routinely kicks young
GLBT folk out of their homes, beats
them up for being "sissies." sets
them apart from their families,
penalizes by law their sexual rela-
tions and otherwise ostracizes them
from society at large, being visible
becomes a terrifying prospect.
As a result, many GLBT folk
remain hidden "in the closet" and
often feel that they don't know any
GLBT folk at all. National Coming
Out Day produces a feeling of com-
munity and visibility. This helps give
these GLBT folk role models and
people lo talk to. It also provides for
the education of the heterosexual
community, as it is largely misin-
formed about gay. lesbian, bisexual
and iransgender issues.
Mr. Young also complains thai
GLBT folk set themselves aside by
proclaiming their differences and
shouldn't expect society to accept
anyone who tries to stand out. Ik-
asks why he should care. He also
focuses on Ihe lack of straight 'com-
ing out' stories. Mr. Young needs to
realize that he already has a hetero-
sexual community.
The tales about when he was first
attracted to giris were likely locker
room stories and talks to his friends
in school — the same ones that
helped make the young GLBT folk
feel ostracized. One needs to realize
thai a bar that titles a particular
night, "gay night' is implying that all
of the other nights are straight
nights.
Mr. Young, you obviously have
some serious questions that should
be answered. To that end I would
like to invite you to attend our week
ly infosocial every Tuesday night
from 7-9 p.m. in the Campus
Center. I look forward to your atten-
dance and will be glad to further
educate you on this subject, as you
seem woefully misinformed.
Ashavan Whitman Doyon
LBGA Political Chair
To the Editor:
Evan Young has made me truly see
the light. I once was one of those
cry-baby, namby pamby PC liberals
who thought there was some inher-
ent value in diversity. I was wrong.
As Mr. Young so cleaHy pointed out.
the mainstream ostracizes Ihose who
stand out. As no one, surely, wishes
to be ostracized, I propose a new
campus holiday:
National Siaying-ln Day,
On National Staying-ln Day, we
shall celebrate our uniformity. All
will be included, provided they fol-
low a few ground rules:
• No issues of race can be dis-
cussed. Racism exists because people
insist on having different skin tones.
Therefore, if you are not white, or at
least cannot pass for white, please
don't show up.
• The language spoken shall be
American English. If you do not
speak English, or speak English in
such a manner that would be dis-
tracting to our sense of conformity
(i.e., accents or speech impediments)
please refrain from speaking.
• Events will be held in non-acces-
sible areas. It is an imposition lo
"normal" people to constantly be
accommodating others with ramps,
sign language, and Braille. If you
cannot be comfortable without such
accommodations, we cannot be com-
fortable with you.
• Sexuality, that hotbed of PC pol-
iticking, will be avoided to the great-
est extent possible. To this end, gays,
lesbians, bisexuals, transgendered
people and uppity women (those
who insist on speaking their minds)
will be strongly encouraged to stay
home.
I'm sure that if we all follow the
rules, don't make a fuss, this
National Staying-ln Day will be the
most successful of its kind since the
ones held in Berlin in the 1930s.

Celebrating in India's culture
By Molt Sincbir
Collegion CorrejpondenI
FESTIVAL OF UGHT5
Bowker Auditorium
Oct. 21
On Saturday, the University of
Massachusetts was able to panicipaie
in one of the biggest annual Indian
holidays. The Festival of Lights.
The auditorium was filled to
capacity as the curtain went up for
the 5 p.m. enactment of the Court of
Divine Beings. The back-drops and
costumes were stunning — evoking
the mood of India in a dreamy and
compelling production which allowed
the audience to partake of the exotic
workl of Indian culture.
Festivals (Utsavs) and Fairs
(Melas) have been a part of Indian
culture for more than 3,000 years.
Festivals have traditionally celebrated
the glories of the Divine Beings while
fairs have brought people together at
a religious center or place of pilgrim-
age, usually being a temple or a
sacred river. Despite the importance
of the ritual and religious aspects of
Melas, they transcend differences and
draw people together from all reli-
gions.
At 6 p.m. the stage again came
alive with a folk dance provided by
the South-Asian Club. This dance
celebrated the changing of seasons
and the harvesting of the rainy season
crop. The traditionally costumed
dancers moved as one — keeping
perfect time with the Indian folk
music.
The festivities culminated with the
Ashwin Batish Rock Concert which
crossed continental barriers in an
east/wesi dance party extravaganza.
Batish, who was born in Bombay.
India, began his career in traditional
Indian fashion, playing the classic
sitar. Ashwin is from a rich family
tradition of music. For example.
Batish 's father Shiv Daayal Batish is
a famous Indian composer who
taught George Harrison the dilrubha
and played it on the soundtrack of
Help. Batish jr. recorded two classi-
cal albums before his musical trans-
fotmaiion.
After moving to the United Slates
in 1973, Ashwin Batish found a dif-
ferent culture with different instru-
inents and his music took a dramatic
turn He shelled out $10,000 on key
boards, a drum machine and a
Yammaha DX9. His music was never
the same again. A week after making
his new acquisitions Batish released
the song Bombay Boogie which
became a great success on college
radio. His follow- up release. Sitar
Power, is still blaring from student
music systems with its electric mix of
old and new — east and west.
The Festival was ground-breaking
in its ability to draw people from all
walks of life, allowing the uninitiated
lo learn and enjoy the exotic nature
of traditional Indian cuhure.

instrument called a vagabond traveling guitar, Sobule
re-invented the songs from her self- litkxi debut.
The show began with a track not from the album.
It's first line, "Don't F"K With Me." sent the audi
ence into showers of laughter and started the show off
well. Sobule played some new songs as well. One in
particular — the "white trash Christmas song" stood
out. The song was filled with images of people gelling
drunk, cousins with several wives and illegitimate chil-
drL*n and a RV that shorted the Christmas lights when
they plugged into the house.
The majority of her album was played much to the
delight of the audience. But cover tunes really made
the night a magical experience. Her choices ranged
from the David Bowie-penned "All the Young
Dudes.* to a Balkan folk version of the disco classic "I
Will Survive' and a heartfelt version of Dion
Warwick's "Now Thai I Found You."
She played her two big singles — "I Kissed a Girl"
and "Supermodel." The show ended with an encore of
more than five songs, since neither Sobule nor the
audience wanted the night to end.
Boston rock legend to play live
By Mike Burke
Collegian Staff
Boston has always been a hot
spot for musical talent, from rock
stars like Aerosmith to disco diva
Donna Summer, but few. if any,
Boston artists have btvn as influen
tial and talented as lonathan
Richman.
Bom in 1951, Richman grew up
on rock 'n roll music but he was
one of the first artists to be greatly
influenced by the Velvet
Underground. He was taken back
by their improvisational ability
both musically and lyrically.
In the opening months of 1970,
Richman formed the groundbreak
ing band The Modern Lovers.
Several of their minimal Velvety
tunes such as "Roadrunner" and
"Girlfriend" would stand the test
of time as classic songs. The group
broke up after just a few years
together. It wasn't until years after
their breakup in 197b when their
stellar debut effort. The Modern
Lovers, was released on Bcserklcy.
At the tender age of 22.
Richman decided to pursue a new

that he ncfded, "less nmgs putting

released his debut solo album.
fonalhan Ruhman and the
Modern Lovers.
Over the past twenty years
Richman has continued to release
consistent albums filled with
strong songwnting and intelligent,
humorous lyrics. Although he has
moved out lo California with his
family. Richman returns to the
Massachusetts area on a regular
basis.
Many considered his perfor-
mance at the Iron Horse last year
to be the best live show of last
year. Tonight 's periorituince will be
as entertaining and enjoyable as

The Mullini Center
Oct 20
The 21st Annual Multiband Pops
Concert brought the audience lo
their feet last Friday night at the
Mullins Center. The concert, which
kicked off Homecoming Weekend,
showcased the talents of many of the
University of Massachusetts' musical
groups.
The concert was unique in that
there were many stages where the
groups would be performing; spccta
tors were never quite sure where the
spotlight would fall next. An added
plus were the two giant television
monitors which showed the perform
crs as they were playing, making it
easier lo see individuals and overall
the concert more enjoyable for those
seated in the upper arena.
The concert began with a bang as
the Percussion Ensemble look the
stage. The group, directed by Peter
H. Tanner, placed "Overture for
Percussion Ensemble" by |ohn Beck.
They were followed by the Wind
Ensemble, conducted by Malcolm W

the rousing "Overture for Band' by

Wagner's "The Ride of the
Valkyries" was the selection for the
UMass Orchestra who were making
their debut appearance at
Multibands. The orchestra was con-
ducted by special guest, Mark RusscHI
Smith, conductor of the Springfield

Other groups performing included
the A Calellas, the LIMass Marimbas
and ihe LJniversily |a/z Ensemble
After intermission, the Alumni
Association presented four scholar-
ships to members of various musical
groups and then the University
Dancers periormed a piece calk-d "J
D's," with music by Ellington and
choreography by Adrienne T.
Hawkins.
The concert closed with what was
obviously the highlight: the
Minutcman Marching Band. The
band lived up to every word ol their
"pKjwer and class of New England"
motto as they played sekx' lions Irom

performance enlivened the crowd,
and many of the audience members
rose to give the band standing ova-

V'ball defeats Duquesne, St. Bonaventure
By Stexwn Grant
Collegion Staft
The Massachuscils women's vol-
leyball team did something this past
weekend it should have done a
month ago. It beat Duquesne.
Despite sweeping the season series
with Duquesne last year. UMass fell
to the Lady Dukes (4-12 overall. 4-7
in the Atlantic lOt earlier this season
on Sept. 2>. Duquesne is a team
UMass feels it should beat every time
out, and when it did so on Friday
(15-6. I5~9. 8-!i. 15-6). a feeling
of relief must have settled into every-
one on the squad.
The Minutewomen (16-9. 8-4)
also look care of St. Bonaventure
(2-15. 2-10) Saturday, defeating the
lowly Bonnies in three straight
games, and extending their winning
streak to five games.
UMass i. Duquesne I
For the most pan. the
Minutewomen showed in this match
that they are really starting to gel as a
team. And although Giza Rivera
appears to be back at full steam,
there were no individual standouts
here.
"I think people are getting used to
each other." L'Mass coach Bonnie
Kenny said of her team. "We need all
individuals playing at their best if
we're going to achieve the goals we
set out to do."
UMass was coasting until late in
the second game, when they were up
14-8. The Minutewomen just
couldn't put the nail in the coffin. In
fact, icven times UMass had the
serve at game point but Duquesne
kept earning the side-out.
Fortunately. Duquesne couldn't capi-
talize one of those limes, finally los-
ing, 1 5-9
However. UMass' poor play car-
ried over to the third game. After tak-
ing a brief 4-0 lead, the Lady Dukes
rallied and pulled oft six straight
points, causing Kenny to call time
out.
It worked — temporarily. UMass
quickly went up. 8-6. and things
looked back to normal. That is. until
Duquesne scored the game's next
nine f)oints to prevail.
"We lost (game) three because we
weren't going for balls." Kenny said.
"When we get lazy on defense it's
frustrating. In game two. we
attacked the ball. We killed the ball.
We didn't do that in the third
game."
UMass played better in game four,
winning it and the match, without
too much difficulty.
Rivera led the team in kills and
digs with 20 and 19. respectively.
Since her return from injury, she has
given opponents yet another weapon
to worry about.
Also playing well was Dionne
Nash, who had a career- high 10
blocks lo go along with 10 kills.
Rachel Skv (12 kills. 15 digs) and
Lesley Nolan (14 kills. 12 digs).
"I think that although we won. we
played flat." Nash said. "We stopped
communicating and playing defense
in that third game. It was like we
were taking a break."
UMass recorded an impressive 18
blocks, a category in which Kenny
felt was a team weakness in the
pre-scason.
UMass 3. Si. Bonaventure 0
Although the Bonnies are an inferi-
or team, a win is a win, and UMass
will take il.
Sky and Katie Pearce each had
three aces in the match, with one of
Pearce's coming on match point
Nolan and Rivera each had a
team-high nine kills, while Nolan
and Nash tied for the team-lead in
digs with eight.
"This team still has a lot of fire left
in il." Nash said. "Pretty soon it's
going lo come out. and when it
does..."

"Mel was great." Donnelly said.
"She saved us twice. She's been play-
ing really well and just keeps getting
better."

With the exception of a 50-second
break down in the second half, the
Minutewomen dominated LaSalle
from start to finish, as the ball stayed
in Massachusetts' offensive end for
almost the whole game.
The Minutewomen appeared to be
snake-bitten early on. Despite having
numerous opportunities to score.
UMass could not knock the ball home
jnd the game remained scoreless
until late in the half.
Roihenberger broke the scoreless
lie. on a penalty corner blast with
2:25 remaining before intermission.
The goal was her team leading sev-
enth of the season. She leads the
squad with 16 points as well.
Midway through the second half.
Courtney Maclean netted the preiti
est goal of the contest. The sopho-
more forward collected a pass from
Sla-ya Volla and fired her shot while
she was falling down. It beat Explorer
goalie Dori Shumadine to give UMass
a 2-0 lead. MacLean's two
game-winning goals tics her with
freshman forward Erica Johnston for
the team lead in that category.
That goal would prove to be a big
one. because LaSallc forward
Cheldin Barlall slipped through the
Massachusetts defense less than 10
minutes later to cut the UMass lead
to 2-1.
Putnam continued her recent offen-
sive brilliance, adding an insurance
goal late in the game to close out the
scoring. Putnam credited her team-
mates for the bulk of her success.
"The teammates I have are helping
to push me and make me work as
hard as possible at every point in the
game." she said.
Following the game. Donnelly was
complimentary about the recent play
of both Putnam and MacLean.
"Courtney and Kate are starling to
play together well." Donnelly said.
"They're starting to think the game a
lot more which is making a big differ-
ence."
UMass' record moves lo 7-10 on
the season.
The game marked the return of
DeAngelis. a UMass alum, to Tolman
Field. Afier the game, she said that
she was pleased to have relumed.
"It was weird being on the other
side of the field." DeAngelis said,
"but I'm glad I got to come to
Tolman one last time."

kept running."
The UMass offense was domi-
nated by the run. Weather condi-
tions and the potency of Ingoglia
and Alessio, played a big role in
Hodges decision not to throw the
ball. Catterion attempted only
four passes, completing one of
them for nine yards.
William & Mary's passing game
however, was more visible as they
looked to the air 29 times. Byrne
completed 13 passes for 129
yards.
"Their throwing game is more
productive than ours, obviously,"
Hodges said. "It really doesn't
make a difference when you have
guys who can put the ball in the
end zone from long distances. How
you get it there is really irrelevant.
We got it there by a long run from
our full back, a long run from our
tailback and a nice touchdown run
by our quarterback. As long as it
crosses that while stripe, that's all
that matters."
"Anthony Catterion did a great
job controlling the ball in these
conditions. He did a great job on
the option," Ingoglia said. "He led
us."
The Minulemen defense was
solid, containing the Tribe offense
and holding them lo only a
29-yard field goal in the first half.
and the lone touchdown in the
second half.
The young UMass defense has
displayed vast improvement over
the last few weeks, keeping its
opponent to under 10 points for
the second straight week.
"We like to remain constant
throughout the whole game and
make the plays." said UMass line-
backer Khari Samuel. "We don't
Icok at the scoreboard until the
game is over."
"We put ourselves in the posi-
tion to make plays We've been
working really hard, and when
you are in position to make plays,
good things will happen," said
UMass linebacker Justin Riemer.
"Right now I feel as if I've been
playing defense with these guys
for at least four years."
The victory salvaged the season
for the Minulemen as a loss
would have dug an undesirable
hole for the team. The win gives
UMass momentum heading into
its next game against Lehigh. If a
winning streak stems from the
game, then a Yankee Conference
Championship is still feasible.
"We're 4-5. and we are not out
of the picture yet." Ingoglia said.
"We will gel down lo business this
week and we are not out of it."
"Spirits are high and I knew in
my heart we were going to end up
getting on a roll, somewhere,'
Riemer said. "We are loo good of
a team lo let what has happened
to us get to us. We have a lot of
people with a lot of big hearts
around here."

Fitzgerald asked. When the reporter
nodded. Fitzgerald said, "It was iha(
bad."
Bad? The weather? Tiy telling that
to UMass.
"They were having fun out there.
They were really excited." said
Massachusetts coach Mike Hodges.
"We enjoy playing in the rain. We
do it well,' said senior fullback Rene
Ingoglia.
"I wish we had all of them [in this
weather), lo tell you the truth," tail-
back Frank Alessio said. "Like every-
one says, it's UMass-type weather.
We gel fired up in it."
How do you gel pumped up playing
in those conditions? The ball gels wet
and the grass is slick. Balance is hard
to come by. whether you're running
the ball, protecting the quarterback, or
going in for the sack. It takes experi-
ence, and adjustments have lo be
made.
Alessio said he keeps his knees up
and feet under him to avoid slipping
on the wet field. Catterion talked
about mudball. Last Thursday, a
five-galkin bucket was filled with mud
from the practice field. Since the
coaching staff was expecting a rainy
afternoon, they had Catterton dump
the ball into the bucket before taking
each snap.
Hodges feels the preparation for a
game under those conditions is there
early for his Minulemen.
"It starts at preseason. It starts in
the springtime. We practice in the
mud. If il rains, we practice in the
rain. If it snows, we practice when it
snows. You never know what you're
going to have to play in," Hodges said.
With the conditions playing a
major factor in the outcome, the
question after the game was who was
the tougher opponent for the Tribe
on Saturday afternoon — the weather
or the UMass defense.
Mother Nature did her thing, and
the Minuieman defensive corps
showed its stuff, as well. FixHn start to
finish, the defense controlled the lirK
of scrimmage. With more than four
minutes left to play, in the game they
had all but wrapped up, the
Minulemen were still sticking and
picking.
Khari Samuel recovered a Matt
Byrne fumble and had a sack. Breon
Parker and |ason Mumford each had
interceptions. |ason Tudryn leveled
tight-end Warren Roark on a pass
play. Trejo Rust delivered a blow to
Byrne before he released the ball on
another.
All of this in ihe last four minutes
of the game.
'Right now. it seems like we've
been playing defense together for al
least four years," said Minuieman
linebacker Justin Reimer, who had a
team-high 16 tackles on the after-
noon. "Everyone's doing exactly what
they're supposed to l>e doing. It's a
real good feeling. I think having a
young and inexperienced defense is
not even an issue anymore."
The weather was on its side, the
offensive chalked up 256 yards on the
ground led by Ingoglia's 139-yard
effort, and the defense stuffed the
Tribe attack. As for next week's home
game against Lehigh (1 p.m.), the
Minulemen will head in with
much-needed momentum. Yet, you
know if you're a UMass player, and
the way things have been going as of
late, you know what you're hoping for.
You're praying for rain.

UMass played a solid match, defensively in particularly.
Bennie Sheally. )oe jacobson and Brad Miller, playing in
their final matches at Garbcr Field, gave inspired efforts
against an often unrelenting Ram attack. UMass played
well, but on this dreary day. URI was just a bit better.
"1 wouldn't be surprised if you saw this game again in the
Atlantic 10 tournament, and maybe later dowTi the line."
said Rhode Island coach Ed Bradley. "Hopefully, both teams
make the NCAA tournament I think UMass can play with
anybody. UMass is as good as any learn we've played."
The Minulemen busted out of the gates and were on
ihe scoreboard in the match's first minute. Working the
ball just inside the penalty box to the goalkeeper's left,
senior Colin Johnson was tripped by URI's Brian Tucker
and the Minulemen were awarded a penally shot.
lunior Dave Siljanovski converted the kick by blasting
the ball past Ram goalkeeper Anthony Lalronica. giving
the Minulemen a lead just 55 seconds into the match.
The margin held up until the 1736 mark. The Rams'
Andrew Williams sent a comer kick to Dos Santos, who
rifled an 1 8-yard shot past UMass goalkeeper Eric Gruber
to even the score at one.
Despite many quality opportunities on each side, the
match remained scoreless for the next 60 minutes. Overtime
seemed inevitable as the quagmire that Richard F. Garber
Field had become greatly hindered offense on each side.
lust inside the 78th minute. URI's Troy Robinson
decided to test the waters and throw a soli 25-yard shot
on goal. The slick ball met Gruber's damp gloves at head
level and slid off. up and over Gruber's head and into the
net. (Hitting the Rams on top 2-1.
"We were telling our kids to shoot because of the wind
and because of the rain." Bradley said of the seemingly
harmless shot. "It probably wasn't that hard of a shot Ixit
il was spinning."
UMass had little lime to recover as exactly three min-
utes later. Williams beat Gruber with a hard, low shot
that got under the sliding Minuieman keeper.
Mike Butler had a couple of scoring opportunities
inside the final 10 minutes, but they were lo no avail.
Despite being ouishoi 18-8 the Minulemen offense
showed signs of life late in the match, which will help
them should these teams face each other again in
November in the Atlantic 10 Tournament ai URI.
Winning a rematch is not out of the question. Some
fine- tuning in the UMass game-plan could produce a
better result for the UMass side.
"If we are to beat them, we have lo play better as a team."
Koch said. "We have lo distribute ihe ball better. We have
to support belter and we have lo play with more intensity.
We didn't win the second ball today. I have to say URI won
because they wanted it more. I don't know why we didn't."

With under 1 5 minutes to go in
the first half and the game score-
less, the Minutewomen had a
golden opportunity to score. Karin
Johnson beat UConn goalkeeper
Siobhan Harold to a pass from
Rachel leDuc and had an open
net. lohnson unleashed a shot that
was heading for ihc goal, but the
puddle in front of the post
slopped the ball right before it
crossed the line, allowing a Husky
defender lo clear it out of danger.
"I didn't want lo over kick il. I
wanted to be sure." lohnson said.
"I thought il was going in and the
next thing I knew, it was stuck in
the puddle "
A Minutewomen goal would
have clearly given UMass momen-
tum, but instead, the game
remained scoreless after one half.
In the second half the Huskies
had several chances lo score but
the UMass defense came up big,
led by Erin Lynch. The junior
made consecutive slops with just
under 44 minutes to go and then a
couple of minutes later, made a
defensive stop on Christy Rowe.

when she collected a ball that
Iverson failed to clear and scored
her 1 5ih goal of the season, mak-
ing it 1-0.
Carabino scored her Iblh goal
of the season al the 87:2> mark
when UMass goalkeeper Danielle
Dion went to save the ball, but fell
as the ball got stuck in the same
muddy puddle in front of the
north post, allowing the sopho-
more to score.
Despite giving up the two goals.
Dion was outstanding with nine
saves.
"Il was a typical UMass-UConn
game." Rudy said. "Il was hard
fought until the end. All the kids
that came on gave evcnihing they
had."
"I think il was a great game.
Both teams played very well." said
UConn coach Len Tsanliris. "It
was a good soccer game. UMass
as a learn, they play very lough
They are very good defending
team.
"I would say it's one of the
toughest games (we've played),
and playing in these conditions
made it probably one of the tup 10
I toughest games].'
Against Fordham. the highlight
of the day was senior defender
Nikki Ahrcnholz scoring her first
collegiate goal at the 3M:I7 mark.
She also notched an assi>t on the
day.
Also scoring lor Ihe
Minutewomen was Rebecca Myers
(hat trick, one assist). I.eDuc (one
goal, two assists). Amy Powell
(one goal, two assists) and Sandy
Shimugaki. lohnson. lulie Magid
and Tina Lightning all assisted on
UMass goals.
Dion (three saves) and junior
Frika Gabbard. who made her
first collegiate appearance, com-
bined for the shutout.

would just about assure that team one of the two automatic
bids given to each region, plus would help in getting a
regional NCAA game at home.
Each game had one play that changed the complexion
of the match and each happened at the north goal. Both
can partially be attributed to the weather.
Monsoon-like conditions waterlogged everyone and
everything exposed to Mother Nature, and after over 75
minutes of actkin Garber Field was comparable to a swamp.
In the 78th minute, with the scored tied al one. Ram for
ward Andrvw Williams took what normally would be a rou-
tine ■JU-yard shot al UMass keeper Fric Gruber. The rota
lion on the slippery ball saw the shot spin off of Gruber's
rain-soaked gloves into the net for the game- winning
score. The Minulemen were stunned, with hands on iheir
heads, at the turn of events and would never recovtT.
Ijite in the first half of the women's game, the teams

ting by either of the keepers. Then UMass freshman Karin
lohnson beat UConn goalie Siobhan Harold and sent the
ball towards the empty net. The crowd began to roar and
stand as it seemed there was nothing in the way of a 10
Minutewomen lead, but everyone was fooled.
The amount of rain (ihal would cause little boys named
Noah lo start building boats) which had fallen on the
field, had caused a two fool wide puddle to fonn just shy
of the Husky goal -line
The hall would have clearly gone in on any other day.
but instead Ihe ball hit the puddle with a splash and sat
stopped just inches from a goal. For just a moment il
seemed everyone on the lorn-up turf of Garber Field
stopped in complete amazement. Finally, an alerl
Connecticut defender kicked the ball out of harm's way
and the game went into the half scoreless.
Both matches will go down in the record books as loss-
es, but the learns learned that each can play with these
national powers, and on another day. could defeat ihem.
The Minulemen were able lo contain Rhode Island's tal-
ented scoring Irio of Williams. Paulo IXjs Santos and Troy
Robinson, while penetrating the Ram defense for an early
lead. And the women played with UConn step for step
until the leading scorer in ihe region. |ana Carabino. finally
broke through the dam that is the UMass defense.
As lhe final horn sounded to mereifully end 180 minuter
of UMass soccer Saturday afternoon. Erin 1 ynch slumped
over al midfield to catch her breath. The exhausted junior
was covered in mud up lo her waist, while her entire body
was soaked lo Ihe ftonc from Ihe steady downpour that
lasted throughout lhe game. Her demeanor was a reflec
lion of the day's events on the field, where she played as if
there would be no tomorrow fcr her team.
If all four of these squads continue to play at the same
level, there should be a part two between these teams.
Though next time, the team's seasons will hi- on the line.

parents used to take me to a rest-
aurant where the cashier was a lat
man who never moved off his stool.
He had a face which looked
like a pig's face to me.
He didn't think he looked like a
pig when he looked in the mirror, and
his mother thought he was beautiful
...but I thought he looked funny.
Then I heard that he died, and
a friend told me he was actually a very
quiet nice person.
I felt bad and cruel. I was
stupid.
But he's alright now. He's
resting in heaven...
Iwman heaven....! suppose.

the Massachusetts
football team had a
blast.
In front of ihe
announced 5.011 drenched fans, the
Minulcmen made mud-pics of William
& Mary, upsetting the Tribe 20-9 to
bump its record above sea-level to
4-5 William & Mary falls to 5-5.
"Those field conditions were atro-
cious. There were places where you
couldn't even stand up.' William &
Mary coach jimmy Laycock said with
bitterness. "They could have lost
someone out there."
The Minutemen took the
mud-laden field at Warren McGuirk
Alumni Stadium Saturday to face No.
12 nationally l-AA ranked William &
Mary. The Tribe entered the contest
riding a five-game winning streak,
averaging at)oul 2K points per game.
The Minulcmen. looking to gain
respect and climb the Yankee
Conference ladder, were on a mission.
"I don'l think we got a lot of resptxt
coming into this week. Nobody gave
us a cttance lo win this football game. I
answered questions last week that

UMass coach Mike (lodges.
"Comments were made and it didn't
show the kids a whole lot of respect.

senior fullback Rene Ingoglia busied
through I he William &. Mary line and
slip-slided 5b yards before being
tiaulcd down just short of itte goal line.
Two plays later. Ingoglia received the
hand-off from sophomore QB
Anthony Catterton. and barrelled
through the Trilie line and into the end
zone. Ingoglia accumulated 159 rush-
ing yards on the day moving the
Waller Paylon Award candidate to No.

Leading 7-5 with two minutes to

Frank Alessio snatched

dashed for ihe sidelines
before finding a hole in
the middle. Alessio
managed to slalom and
race up the field t>eaiing all defenders
for a bl-yard touchdown run.
"I took the baW on an option and

JJMass-type weather
plays part in victory
By Andrew Bryce
Collegian Staff
Here's Ihe scenario — you have
a quarterback who completes one
pass on the afternoon. You have a
stadium full of empty seats due to
torrential rain and gusiful wind.
You have a soggy field torn up by
many a cleat.
And you arc ecstatic.
You can'l ask for much better
because for ihe second straight
week, you have a much-needed
victory. You are ihe Massachusetts
football team, and as miserable as
ihe wealhcr treated ihe field and
players ihc last two weekends,
your season has brightened up
more than any sun-shining day.
Saturday's 20-9 victory over
No. 12 William & Mary and the
55-9 win over Buffalo two weeks
ago were quite similar. The
Minutemen demonstrated how
they adore playing during
inclement weather conditions, and
proved that sophomore quarter-
back Anthony Caiierton doesn't
fiavc lo throw many passes to lead
the offensive charge.
The grass of Warren McGuirk
Alumni Stadium was covered by a
tarpaulin prior lo !he game, so Ihe
field was as kept as can be. By the
end of ihe game, though, it was
hard lo notice, as the field turned
into a mud bath.
"If they didn't have the tarp out
there, we probably would have
lost someone out there," Tribe
coach limmye Laycock said in ref-
erence to the field.
The William & Mary side
offered its take on the weather sit-
uation: "It changed (our game
plan] pretty good. We had lo
make a lot of changes. The weath-
er and ihe field conditions were
atrocious." Laycock said.
A reporter asked tailback Derek
Fitzgerald how il was running the
ball out there. "Did you sec it?"

Reburial of ousted president divides Guatemala
By ChristefKi Coklough
Associated Press
GUATEMALA CITY — The ashes of a pt)pulist
president overlhiown in 1954 were buriecl Friday
in Guatemala, putting the government in the deli-
cate position of honoring the nation's revolutionary
past while fighting rebels who claim his
legacy. jacotx) Arbenz's reburial was a step toward
reci>nciliation. President Ramiro de Leon Carpio
said. But il also underscored deep divisions
between right and left thai remain 31 years after
Art)enz was deposed in a U.S.-tiacked coup.
Hundreds of students and latxir leaders shouted
"Long live Arbenz! Long live the Revolution!" as a
horse-drawn carriage with military honor guard
wound through the capital.
Right-wing leaders scoffed at the welcome.
The repatriation of the "traitor's body ... will
bring bad results and di.scord," said Mario Sandoval
Alarcon. leader ol ihe National Liberation
Movement, who participated in the coup.
The reburial came on the 5|sl anniversary of a
1944 revolution led b> Artx-nz after ihc long mill
tary dictatorship of Gen, Jorge Lhico. The uprising
ended 14 year^ of aulhorilariun rule and u'-hered in
a decade of social a-fomis
Arbenz was elected president in 1950 with strong
popular support and refused lo distance himself
from communists. He angered pt)werful interests
when he proposed confiscating idle lands bek>nging
to the U.S. -owned I'niled I'ruil Co . which con-
trolled ihe country's railway and electric sy.|ems.
Arbenz died in his bathtub in Mexico City in
1971. His remains were sent lo Kl Salvador, where
his wife was living.
The president marked Arbenz's reburial with a
call for unity.
"lacobo Artxfnz returns ... not to be judged by his
countrymen, but so thai we may advance toward
national reconciliation." de Leon Carpio said.
Art>enz's widow. Maria Cristina de Art)enz. said
her husband's only desire during exile was to
return to Guatemala, "the country he lived for."
"1 have watched Guatemala closely and consider
this the appropriate moment for lorge to return to
his fx'loved homeland." she said.
But thousands of demonstrators stormed the
National Palace during a ceremony Thursday night
and briefly wrested control of the coffin containing
the ashes from military cadets.
The cadets regained control and the demonstra-
tors were expelled.
There were no reports of disturbances Friday.
The government and guerrillas are negotiating
for a UN -supervised truce, but little progress has
been made this year.
At least 140.000 Guatemalans have been killed
in the civil war, Latin America's last and longest-
running.
UNITKD NATIONS In the
largest gathering of world leaders in
history, kings, presidents and pre-
miers marked the 50th anniversary of
the United Nations on Sunday by
demanding the organization change
so it can fulfill the dreams of ils
founders.
But differences thai long have
divided the world's cHily truly global
organization surfaced as 2U0 heads of
slate, prime ministers, foreign mmis
lers and representatives of interna
tlonal groups began three days of
speeches.
President Clinton, the first world
leader to speak, listed his agenda as
combating international terrorism,
organized crime, drug smuggling and
the spread of weapons of mass
destruction
Cuban President Fidel Casiro, who
shed his trademark fatigues for a
dark gray iMisiness suit, talked of the
gap between nch and poor and domi
nation of the United Nations by pow
erful countries,
"How long shall we wait for the
democratization of the United
Nations?" Castro asked, lo enlhusias
tic applause, mostly from leaderv of
developing nations.
He said the "abuse of authority"
wielded by the United States and the
four other permanent Security
Council members — France. Britain.
Russia and China — has created "a
new colonialism within the very
United Nations " The Security
Council is the only U.N. b«xly that
can pass resolutions binding on all
members.
Zambian President Frederick
Chiluba said the Security Council
should not serve as a sanctuary
where the five permanent members
become "high priests lo the resi of
the globe."
bven permanent members were
not entirely pleased Russian
President Boris Yell>.in complained
that ihe Security Council and his own
country have been bypassed in rcveni
U.S. — led initiatives to end the war in
Bosnia.
The U.N. charter ratified 50 years
ago Tuesday espoused ideals of fos-
tering peace and security throughout
the world and economic progress for
all peoples.
"The anniversary is taking place as
the United Nations faces its greatest
financial crisis, brought on by
demands for peacekeeping operations
in the former Yugoslavia, Somalia.
Angola and elsewhere, as well as the
failure of member stales lo pay their
dues.
Memberv owe the United Nations
$3 billion. The biggest debtor is the
United Stales, $1 3 billion in arrears.
General Asninbly President Diago
Freitas do Amaral of Portugal, who
opened the session, urged reform,
bul cautioned. "We must not allow
this organization to die ai the harxls
of ils critics."
In welcoming remarks, Secretary-
Cieneral Boulros Boutros-Ghali said
ihe United Nations had a vital role to
play in such fields as human rights,
inlernalional law. peacekeeping,
development and ihe environment.
"Bul the United Nations cannot
play this role if ihe present trend con-
tinues." he said "The problems of
glohaliziilion and Iragmenlation have
caused vast responsibilities lo be
given to ihe U N Bul ihe UN ha*
mil bcvn given ihe resources required
lo accomplish the tasks imposed."
As the gathering progresses, the
world leaders will also lH>ld stores of
one -on one meetings on issues rang-
ing from the war in Bosnia lo
US China relations aiKi peace In the
Middle Flasi.
As the leaders spoke, thousands of
protesters, speaking for a worldful of
causes, rallied on a plaza behind blue
police barricades across First
Avenue.
Security concerns may have
prompted one last -minute cancella-
tion; by hgypl's President Hosni
Mubarak, who escaped assassination
four months ago in Flhiopia. appar-
ently by Islamic militants
Finance also was on the minds of
numerous delegations, which have
used the huge gathering as an oppor-
tunity to solicit trade and investment.
Yasser Arafat, head of the
Palestine l.iberaticm Organization,
attended a fund-raising dinner
Saturday sponsored by Arab-
Americans. In his speech Sunday,
Arafat called for economic aid to the
Palestinians
"Our people are yearning for
peace." Arafat said. "The* prophecy of
giKxi tidings has taken ils first step.
Ifelp us bring il lo fruition."
He said Israeli-Palestinian peace
was "irreversible" and thai peace in
the Middle Hast must also include
Syria. Iraq and Libya.
Castro, meanwhile, has been
flooded with requests from U.S.
businesses anxious lo discuss future
deals despite ihe U.S. economic
embargo against his Communist
island nation.
Mass. officials offer their views
State politicians begin to take stands as 96 elections approach
By Glen Johnson
Associoted Press
BOSTON — It's not just that Beacon Hill and Capitol
Hill are overrun with people who have important jobs.
They're also full of people who think they could do some-
body else's job better.
We won't even get into how Newt. Bob. Phil. Lamar.
Pal. AHen and all ihe rest think Bill doesn't know what
he's doing.
Unsolicited advice comes with being president of a
nation.
But in Mas.sachusetts the past two weeks, elected offi-
cials and even religious leaders have crossed all sorts of
boundaries, sounding off on each other's public policy
prescriptions.
For example, joe. a congressman, thinks he tan teach
Bill a thing or two about being governor, especially at)out
showing some respect to the state's working class.
Scott is attorney general, so he thinks he has something
to teach Bill when it comes to his plan to fingerprint wel-
fare recipients.
Bill, meanwhile, thinks John is one of the "old thinkers"
in Washington and may have to be knocked out of the
Senate next year just on principle. Bernard doesn't like
the way Bill is going about it. so he's using the power of
the pulpit to let him know.
And don't forget about Paul. He and Bill are partners,
as they constantly point oul. But the lieutenant governor
was in South America when Bill started getting and giving
advice, so he sent up a fax letting everyone know he's still
part of the team.
He even signed a memorandum of understanding
between Massachusetts and the Argentinean province of
Mendoza. It's the type of thing he would do more often if.
as Paul hopes, he becomes governor after Bill.
"The commonwealth of Massachusetts and the
province of Mendoza have much to offer each other to
encourage closer cooperation in trade, investment, tech-
nology and education." Paul pointed out in his state-
ment.
While the calendar may say thai the nc\l gubernatorial
election is still three years away, and Ihe stale's next elec-
tion for a Senate seal isn't until November 1996. the
abundance of criticism shows that the campaigns have
already begun.
The fax machine in the Slalehouse press room spits out
news releases ad infinitum, whether it's day. night or the
weekend.
Legislators usually announce bills they have filed,
grants they've won for their district and hearings they're
holding lo get public commeni about a particular issue.
Most of the siuff could he considered self promotional.
Bul before a politician formally begins a campaign for
higher office, he typically launches a guerrilla offensive.
Under the giiise of carrying out ihc duties of his current
job. he questions and probes the wisdom of his would-f)e
opponent's actions.
in recent weeks, those kinds of critiques have been
streaming into Ihe press room.
Gov. William Weld has spurred much of the activity by
proposing a series of welfare reforms. One in particular, a
proposal to cut off cash grants to unmarried teen-age
mothers, prompted Cardinal Bernard Law to question
whether ihe policy could lead lo more atiortions.
While Law does not hold political office, he does hold
sway over a large bloc of voters: Boston's Roman Catholic
archdiocese.
"No mother, however poor, however young, should be
forced to choose between a poor child and a dead child."
Law said.
Weld respectfully disagreed, saying: "1 know him lo
hold all those beliefs very sincerely. There's just a few
issues where he and I are not at one on those issues.
Abortion is one of ihem."
Weld, a Republican, also said he was not making his
proposals in anticipation of a run against U.S. Sen. John
Kerry next fall That didn't slop him from taking a swipe
al the DemiKiatic incumbent anyway.
"It's the type of issue that may represeni new thinking
versus old thinking, and we've got too much old think-
ing," he said

U.N. 50th Anniversary
Clinton urges drug crackdown
By Terence Hunt
Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS — Presideni Clinton urged
world leaders Sunday to join a crackdown against inter-
national drug >niuggler>.. announcing the United States
will Ircezc assets of Colombia's biggest cocaine cartel
and punish countries that tolerate money laundering.
"We iTiust win this battle together." the presideni
declared in a speech opening a three-day celebration of
the 50th anniversary of the United Nations.
Clinton signed an executive order targeting the four
leaders of Colombia's Cali cartel and 4^5 associates.
The order also blacklists 55 businesses, including
Colombia's biggest drugstore chain, holding compa-
nies, import-export firms, pharmaceutical companies,
automobile dealerships and various stores.
The administration said they were front companies
for the cartel.
Officials said the warning was aimed at dozens of
nations, such as Antigua, the Cayman islands.
Bahamas, Panama. Colombia. Venezuela. Thailand.
Austria. Greece. Turkey and Cyprus, although some of
those countries have indicated they will adopt interna-
tional standards against money laundering. U.S. sanc-
tions could include a ban on electronic fund transfers
and a prohibition on dollar clearing, eliminating a
country's ability to operate thruugh the U.S. Tinancial
system, officials said.
Clinton said that international crime, terrorism, drug
trafficking and the spread of weapons of mass destruc-
tion have emerged as the major threats to world peace
in the aftermath of the Cold War.
"No one is immune." he said, citing terrorist inci-
dents ranging from the Oklahoma City and World
Trade Center bombings to the nerve-gas attack in a
Tokyo subway.
All of the leaders' speeches were supposed to be lim-
ited to five minutes, but few observed the limit.
Clinton spoke for 14 minutes.
Despite Republican efforts to cut money for interna-
tional organizations. Clinton vowed that the United
States will pay its U.N. bill in full. Washington is the
U.N.'s biggest contributor but owes $1.5 billion.
"I don't think the United States wants to be known
as the biggest deadbeat in the U.N.." Clinton said dur-
ing a meeting with South African President Nelson
Mandela. "That's not the kind of reputation anybody
should cultivate."
Yeltsin concerned over NATO action
UNlTfcD NATIONS (AP) — Russian President Boris
Yeltsin accused NATO on Sunday of bypassing the U.N.
Security Council in its enforcement of the U.S. -brokered
peace initiative for Bosnia.
Yeltsin, in a speech marking the "iOth anniversary of the
United Nations, said Russia was ready to provide troops
to enforce any luture peace agreement in the former
Yugoslav republic, "but only under a strict mandate of the
11. N. Seturilv Council."
NATO is planning to send up to bO.OOU troops to
Bosnia if the warring sides can reach a peace agreement.
The NATO force would replace U.N. troops, whose per-
formance has been widely criticized as ineffectual.

Ohio, as a first step toward a formal peace conference.
"Russia is concerned with the situation when — as has
recently been the case in Bosnia — the Security Council is
relegated to the sidelines of events." Yeltsin said. "It is
inadmissible for a regional organization (NATO) to make
decisions on the mass use of force bypassing the Security
Council."
He also expressed Russia's opposition to proposed east-
ward expansion of NATO, saying that would "put a barri-
er on the way to establishing a unified Europe "
Earlier Sunday. Secretary of Stale Warren Christopher
expressed frustration about finding a suitable way for
Russian troops to help enforce peace in Bosnia.
"It will lake some ingenuity."
Christopher said. "It is not going to
be easy "

"Because You Asked For It"
Washington faces criticism due
to overdue \J.N. memberships
By Robert H. Reid
Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS - The lead
ei> of Britain and France eritici/ed
the United States today for the failure
to pay its U.N. bills, but they backed
Washington's calls for a leaner, more
efficient United Nations.
The United Nations" financial crisis
and the US. debts have emerged as
inajor themes as leaders of nations
large and small wrestle with the chal-
lenges facing the world organization
on its 50lh anniversary.
"The temptation to disengage
threatens the very existence of the
United Nations." President Jacques
Chirac of France said on the stxond
day of ceremonies marking the
anniversary. "It is not acceptable that
many countries, including the fore-
most among them, should let their
arrears pile up."
The United Nations faces the worst
financial crisis in its 50year exis-
tence. The United States -- which is
as.sessed 25 percent of the U.N. regu-
lar budget and one-third ol the peace-
keeping costs — is the largest debtor
among Ihe 185 U.N. members, owing
$[ /i billion Overall, member states
owe the organization about $5 bil
lion.
liritish Priine Minister |ohn Major.
reversing the battle cry of the
American Revolution, said it was
unacceptable "for member slates to
eniov representation wiiIkiui taxation."
"Contributions should be paid
promptly and in full and arrears
cleared." Major said "But this inusi
be accompanied by a new locus on
efficiency and by modernizing assess
ment to refli-ct the changing capacity
for countries to pay "
During his speech to the General
Assembly on Sunday. President
Clinton said he was determined to
work with the Republican-dominated
Congress lo pay its bills.
"I don'l think the United Stales
wants to be known as the biggest
deadbeat in the U.N.." Clinton said
during a meeting with Sc>ulh .African
President Nelson Mandela.
"Thai's not ihe kind of reputation
anybody should cultivate*
"The U.N. must be able to show
that the money it receives supports
saving and enriching people's lives -
ncn unnceded overhead." he said.
"Refonii requires breaking up bun-au-
cratic fieldoms. eliminating obsolete
agencies, and dc<ing more with less."
Clinton described international
crime, terrorism, drug tratficking and
the spread ol weapons ol mass
destruction as the major threats to
world peace alter ihe Cold \Sar.
Backing Washington. Chirac bal-
anced his criticism with calls to
streamline various U.N. operations.
He also endorsed proposals to
expand the live permanent seats on
the powerlul Security Council to
include Cicnnany. lapan and unspeci-
fied "large stales" from the develop-
ing world.
But other leaders have said that no
major relomis or restructuring ol the
United Nations can lake place until
member countries - especially the
United Stales — pay their bills.
"Some do/en parliaments hold this
organi/.atlon hostage by withholding
their membership fees." Norwegian
Prime Minister Ciro flarlem
Brundtland said Sunday. "Mow
unworthy "
And despite widespread calls lor
U.N. reform, it has become clear dur
ing the two days of spetxhes that the
term means different things to differ

South African President Nelson
Mandela said today that the United
Nations should consider restruclur
ing the council to give more weight
to smaller countries. He also urged
the organization to shilt more

thai the Cold War has ended.
"The changed world circumstances
permit neither the conlinutxl maldis-
tribution of resources, nor the related
maldistribution of decision-making

Oeneral Assembly.
Other speakers used harsher
words.
"The obsolete veto privilege and
the abuse of the Stxurity Council by

U.S. involvement unjustified
Mark McGrath
Aliiile over a month ago. three American soldiers
stationed on the lapanese island of Okinawa com-
mitted a heinous crime in raping a 12-year-old
Okinawan girl. Two of the three accused have already
admitted guilt in the matter, yet the United States has
refused to hand them over to lapanese authorities. The
incident, not the first of this type, nor the worse for that
matter, has nonetheless become a ______^^_^_
major international incident.
It seems the lapanese have had
enough American "protection." To
drive the point home, some of the
largest anti-American demonstrations
of all time were held in japan this past
weekend. The U.S. presence is no
longer wanted there, and for good rea-
son. The Japanese are completely justi-
fied in hating and resenting the influ-
ence of the United States. Ever since
the end of World War II. the United
Slates has been purging japan of its
culture and dignity, and this latest
incident served as the straw that broke
the camel's back.
The beginning of America's "reign of terror" in japan
came with the use of the most devastating weapons of all
time on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
I'm speaking of the atomic bombs, and while the oblitera-
tion of whole cities may be viewed by Americans as tri-
umphs, that is only because we Americans can't even fath-
om the death and destruction which resulted, and the
social and psychological repercussions which followed.
These ends were so horrific in japan that the bomb hasn't
been used since and will most likely never be used again
When the war ended in 1445. The United States pro-
ceeded to occupy the country for seven years, seeking to
accomplish two goals, to demilitarize and democratize
japan.
To accomplish those goals, the Americans instituted a
constitution which all but destroyed the Imperial State
and lapanese culture in general. The first step in destroy-
ing an empire is getting rid of the emperor. Articles one
and four of the constitution established that the emperor
is "merely a symbol of the state" and that "he shall not
have powers related to government.'
Instead, they force fed democracy to a people who
didn't understand the concept and who had never had a
moveincnt in its direction The people accepted the new
When the war ended
in 1945, The United
States proceeded to
occupy the country for
seven years, seeking to
accomplish two goals,
to demilitarize and
democratize Japan.
form of government only because they saw it as their only
means of preventing a future war of the magnitude of the
one they had just experienced.
The idea of democracy was not the only shock to
lapanese culture. Article 24 of the constitution provided
for the equality of the sexes. That idea was completely
unheard of in japan. Neither the men nor the women
could grasp the concept. While we
may not have understood their cul-
ture because it was not consistent
with our own. thai does not give us
the right to alter it to suit our own
beliefs. Because of our tinkering,
many aspects of Japanese culture
were lost forever, and that is reason
enough for their resent.
The most degrading action taken
against the Japanese was the taking
away of their right to defend them-
selves. Fearing the militaristic tradi-
tion in japan, the United States
imposed on it Article nine, which
declared that a Japanese military
could never be maintained.
Instead, a pact was arranged which provided "American
protection" to japan in exchange for its disarmament.
That protection takes the form of troops stationed in
places like the island of Okinawa. That arrangement pro-
vided the United States with a bufferzone between itself
and the U.S.S.R. during the cold war. and because the
Japanese defenders were American troops, japan was
forced into an alliance with the country which literally
destroyed it.
Fifty years after the unleashing of the atomic bomb on
japan. American soldiers committed a crime. While the
crime wasn't isolated nor unprecedented, it was as horri
ble as any committed before it because it was reflective of
all the crimes committed against the Japanese in the past
half- century.
At this point in time, it seems the United States has
"given" enough to the Japanese people. Now it is time to
give them back their country. The American presence is
not wanted, needed or justified anymore. Perhaps the only
reason we still keep the Japanese under our control is
because Americans are afraid that given a military force,
the Japanese could give America the punishment it
deserves.

Funk Club lost in the night
If you went to Midnight
Madness last week, you will
remember watching the UMass
Funk Club put its heart and soul
into a performance that somehow,
rudely and abruptly, was cut off.
How could this have happened'.'
It happened because television
Channel 40 bought the rights to
preview Midnight Madness starting
at 11:50 p.m. Everything else that
was scheduled before the basket-
ball scrimmage was supposed to
happen before the live broadcast.
I assume the mix-up was the
result of poor organization and
severe scheduling problems.
However, this should not have hap-
pened. Not only was it humiliating
and embarrassing for the dance
group to be overtaken by the
marching band, and shunted off
their performance by the media,
but they had to perform again after
the basketball scrimmage while
everybody was leaving.
It's important to note that there
was no public apology, no
announcement that the Funk Club
would perform again after the
scrimmage. And to lop things off.
after the basketball game was over
an announcer uttered his closing
statement, "see you all next year."
Never was there mention of the
Funk Club performing again.
Although many people stuck
around to catch a final glimpse.
Daymion

many had left The Funk Club did a
fantastic job and their hard work
paid off. My sympathy goes out to
all of them.
The main problem I have with
the night is I would like to believe
Midnight Madness is an event for
the school that brings thousands of
students, faculty and the communi-
ty together to show our support,
school spirit and to see the talent
of other groups or organizations on
campus, not a spectacle the media
can exploit. They took away the
entire purpose of the night.
This was one night when stu-
dents could show off their hard
work. (We all know you never have
a second chance to make a first
impression.) Nevertheless, the
media had total control over this
situation.
Condemning the media isn't the
answer. We know they play an
important role in basketball. I
know the focus of the night is bas-
ketball and I don't think anything
should be taken away from the
team. However, what should be
noted is the lack of respect that
was given to the Funk Club. No
apologies, no announcements and
no responsibly for the mistake were
even acknowledged. They were
scheduled to perform, and each
performance (no matter who it is)
should have top priority in accom-
plishing its goals.
If there wasn't time, then some-
thing should have been cut entirely
from the schedule instead of cutting
a performance half-way through. It
looked terrible in front of thou-
sands of people. It may have been a
small mistake, and the night did
run smoothly, but the damage was
done and it didn't go unnoticed.

Letters to the Editor
Writer completely
misinformed
To the Editor:
Regarding the piece by Evan
Young. "Sick of the PC environment"
on Oct. 19. I am exhausted and
bored by this shallow response to
Coming Out Day. It might do the ill-
informed Evan some good to walk
around campus holding hands with a
male friend. He may be surprised the
Massachusetts Stale Gay Welcoming
Committee will not be there to make
him feel at home on campus.
Who really needs to come out here?
The sheltered college boy who claims
has no interest in whether his class-
males are gay or lesbian seems to be
adversely affected when they become
visible. It's not enough to tolerate the
concept that someone is gay or les-
bian; one can still hate and tolerate. I
hope to see the day when heterosexu-
als can honestly say "who cares" when
I come out to them, and my same sex
pronouns make no difference.
Coming Out Day is necessary
because most people are uncomfort-
able with anything remotely having to
do with gays and lesbians. Coming
Out Day is a symbol of gays and les-
bians supporting each other. No one
is required to dress up. bring gifts,
miss class, or sit in irallfic on Coming
Out Day. It is a day of honesty, to tell
the truth for once. Coming out in gen-
eral is a reaction to the assumption
that everyone is or should be straight.

A special thanks
To the Editor:
I just wanted to thank all of you
for being the "World's Greatest
College Basketball Fans." I especially
want to thank all of the crazy people
who came out to Midnight Madness
1 995-96 despite the "typhooix" that
hit around 10 p.m. Saturday evening.
When I arrived, the rain was going
sideways and the wind was knocking
over everything. My first thought was
"No one will come out on a night like
this." But I shouldn't have been sur-
prised when I walked into the arena
and there were already 8.000 stu-
dents and fans there to greet us.
You arc special fans. It is through
your support and devotion to this
team that the Mullins Center has
become the most feared home court
in the nation.
Thank you again from all of us.

Broken phones
should be reported
To the Editor:
In the article that discusses emer-
gency telephones, "Southwest assault
sparks calls for improved safety" on
Oct. 18, Rebecca Filman of Riot Grrrls
talked about a broken emergency tele-
phone by the Cape Cod Lounge.
Telecommunications puts the
repair and maintenance of emergency
telephones at a very high priority.
The telephone she discusses was
reported to us a broken by the UMass
Police at 2:30 p.m. and was repaired
by 4 p.m. the same day.
If anyone discovers that an emer-
gency telephone is not working, they
should report it to the UMass Police.
The Police will report the problem to
Telecommunications and the tele-
phone will be reported as soon as
possible.

Athletic greatness left unrecognized
Title IX is a great thing and it has opened up a vari-
ety of opportunities for women athletes, but there
is one area even Title IX can't do anything about.
With the thin exception of tennis, golf and maybe figure
skating, there is no professional forum available for
women athletes.
I know life isn't fair, and I usually don't
expect it to be. but there are certain things
that irk me anyway.
Having covered collegiate sports for
three years. I have watched some of the
nation's finest athletes. After covering the
men's basketball team I witnessed [ami Roe.
and several UMass opponents, take the next
step to the National Basketball Association,
a step that has brought them fame and con-
siderable fortune.
Having covered collegiate field hockey
the past three years. I have seen equally
as many talented athletes, players whose performances
could just take your breath away. I have also seen ath-
letes who walk away from every game with bruises,
having left everything they had on the field for four
years.
But instead of being rewarded with a professional
career after four years of excellence, these talented ath-
letes are given ... well, usually nothing. Some will move
on to the National Team and the Olympics for a few
years, while others are just given a handshake on Senior
Day and that's it.
That's it.
Oh sure, there might be some professional soccer
leagues in Europe, but uprooting your life across the
ocean for meager pay is a lot to ask of anyone. So for the
most part it's:
"Your eligibility has run out. so go join a weekend club
team or something..."
When Kyle Rothenberger graduates, she will still be a
great field hockey player. Her talent doesn't disappear
when her eligibility does.
The same can be said for several other women athletes
as well. But they will have nowhcrv to showcase their tal-
ents. If they were men. and had proportional talents in
men's sports, they would be set for life.
Even those who are good enough to play in the
Olympics still don't get much recognition
or financial compensation. The few women
athletes (Nancy Kerrigan. Mary Lou
Retton etc.) who do get product endorse-
ments get them more for their pretty faces
than their talents.
Don't believe me? Check out the story
of Manon Rheaume. The goaltender was
the first woman ever to get into an NHL
pre-season game, and she in a word:
stunk.
But the fact that she had a pretty face.
brought her endorsements.
Erin Whitin on the other hand, is a more talented goalie
who was the first woman to earn a win in a men's game is
much more talented than Rheaume. but not as attractive
and therefore got little to no exposure.
Critics will tell you that the best part of women's sports
IS that there are no pro leagues, which makes the athletes
just play for the love of the game instead of having the
pros in the back of their minds.
The purity of the game is clearly an attraction to
women's sports because most of the athletes are playing
with the team in mind, instead of just bettering them
selves. But even that argument falls short when compared
against the fact the women athletes, outside of coaching,
are forced to end their competitive athletic careers far
before their prime.
Cynics will say women's sports just aren't as interesting
or exciting to watch.
I challenge ihem to show up at a UMass women's soc-
cer or volleyball game.

Its that time of month again
Tim
White
It happens to me every single month. Something
really embarrassing happens to me about every 28
days. It doesn't happen on a certain day or any-
thing, but it has to be a really bad month for it to
happen twice.
To illustrate this, let's look at a few months as a case
study.
November — I was fortunate enough to get tickets
to the UMass vs. Arkansas game at the Springfield
Civic Center. I even had seats on the floor, right
behind the basket. I was standing,
enjoying the game when I looked
behind me and noticed a friend a few
rows back. I leaned over to yell to him
over the screaming crowd, steadying
myself on one of the chairs — a folding
chair. As I put my hand on the back end of the seat, it
folded up and I collapsed to the floor, taking a few
with me.
My friend pretended not to know me. and a woman
at least 70 years old mouthed the word "dork" from a
few rows back.
February — my birthday month. I'm in office hours
with my professor to discuss a less-than-desirable test
grade, sporting a full blown cold from the crappy win-
ter weather. Suddenly, I had one of those sneeze
attacks and as I covered my face with my hand and I
got a little "gift" in my palm. Maybe I shouldn't say lit-
tle. I excused myself to the bathroom, hand covering
face. By the way. my test grade did not go up. Happy
Birthday.
March — I decided I would be cool and ride my bike
around campus. It was passing time, and I was gliding
between South College and the Library with my feet in
those bike holsters. I started to lose balance because I
was going so slow (the more I struggled to get my feel
out of the pedals, the more control I lost.) resulting in
the biggest digger of my life. It wasn't even close to
graceful. It was one of those falls that takes 10 min-
utes. And the worst part about it was no one said a
thing, not even a chortle. I would have liked it better if
people laughed. The only sound was a cricket in some
far-off bush.
I was the Fall-Guy again this month when weight
itting. I lost energy on the bench press and couldn't
lilt the pole off my chest. Some guy had to mn across
the weight room and help me (lesson on why to have a
spotter). March was a bad month.
April - It's not always physical things that happen
like tailing, sneezing or slipping, sometimes it's some-
thing I say ... hence April. I was getting to know some-
body, doing the small talk thing, exchanging stories of
bad professors here on campus. She
told me her horror story, then I let
loose with my example calling the
teacher a "freaking jerk." Her response
was "that's my dad." Oops.
,. .J , "^ ^^"'^ was a panel of instructions
on the side of my head it would have read: I.) Open

May - a classic, text book embarrassing moment.
I m in the cainpus center using the bathroom. I left the
restroom with not an inch or two inches, but about
four feet of toilet paper trailing behind me. I didn't
notice It right away either. I walked through the

Inspirational ballet performs at FAC | Jawbreaker electrifies audience
By Matt Sinclair
Collegion Correspondent
BAUfT NACIONAl D€ CAiMCAS
Fine Arts Center Concert Hail
October 22
On Sunday evening the Ballet Nacional de Caracas
returned to Amherst after having performed a sold-out
-how here two years ago. The Concert Hall was full
and the atmosphere was charged. People came from as
tar as Springfield and beyond to watch this interna
tionally recognized ballet company.
The opening act titled "A Handel Celebration," was
used by the dancers as a platform to express individual
talents and skills. The act consisted of various solo
dances and the emphasis was upon individual expres-
sion, but with a variety of paired dances.
The second scene entitled "Late in the Siesta' was a
romantic reconstruction of close-nit family ties from
the beginning of this century. It explored the relation
ship bitween four women in a family context and high-
lighted the deep and binding bonds between them.
The scene was based upon a typical siesta and the
music was drowsily sonorous and moody. It was a
compelling display which evoked the romantic image
of an early nineteenth-century Venezuelan family, as
seen from the female side of the family.
Scene three, entitled "Gemini." was based on
abstract sensuality and explored the Gemini-like rela-
tionship between two men. Twin-like, the dancing
men became as one — they were different facets of the
same being but united they became an essential whole.
Partly acrobatic, partly gymnastic, the scene was
muscular and served as a celebration of the male body
and of the bonding capabilities between two men. The
relationship between the two dancers was intimate and
their serpent-like bodies intertwined — climaxing in a
cyclical spin upon the stage.
The evening culminated in a fast-moving and frenet-
ic dance, entitled "Fever." During this vibrant final
scene, the anticipating audience began to applaud the
end ol one dance as yet another began. The music
reached an exceptional pitch in this scene and the
dancers commanded the audiences full attention.
The music was bolero — pt"rftvtly conducive to the
intense and heady mood. The voice of the famous vocal-
ist La l.upe reached new heights and the dancing cou-
ples' movements united with the seductive music, per-
fectly representing the es,sence of traditional l.atin dance.
The Ballet Nacional de Caracas was a joy to watch,
inspiring once more its audience with the power and
vitality that is synonymous with traditional Latin
American dance and music.

jawbreaker rocked Pearl Street Saturday night

Pearl Street
Oct 21
On Saturday night, jawbreaker
brought their brand ol punk rock to
Pearl Street in Northampton. The
sold-out show had an intimate feel
that was appropriate for the bands
who where billed to play.
Scrpico. look the stage first with
their bi-cfy sounding I.es Paul guitars
and their power house drumming.
The four- piece hand played aggres-
sive hardcore tunes with a great deal
of energy and broke into an all-out
stomp groove worthy ol any hard-
core hand.
Second on the bill were jawbox.
who play guitar driven melodic songs
that at times get dissonant.
Amazingly enough, jawbox got one
of the biggest crowd responses of the
night Throughout their set. most of
their energy came from the bass play-
er who gave strange looks and moved
in a frenzied manner.
Then it was time for San
Francisco's jawbreaker to hit the
stage. Once on stage, singer and
songwriter Blake Schwarzenbach
spoke to the crowd about how thank-
ful he was to have everybody present
Opening with "jinx Removing" off of

lawbreaker began on an extremely
powerful note.
They then played the crowd
favorites "Indictment" and
"Boxcar," which had the crowd
singing the lyrics. "1.2.5.4 who's
punk what's the score " jawbreaker
also went through songs from Dear
You such as "Save Your
Generation." "Accident Prone."
"Million" and even the unplugged
"Hidden Song " Towards the end of
their set. jawbreaker went into some
of their more sad material, ending
with "Condition Oakland" and
"Bivouac" -- which had
Schwarzenbach singing "I'm
lonely/I'm an only."
jawbreaker have the potential to be
as great live as it is on record, but the
show was somewhat mediocre. The
band also seemed tired, which lelt
the audience almost rooting for them
to keep up momentum. Aside from
the fact that jawbreaker could
improve their set a bit more, it was
still entertaining to hear them play
their songs live.

..New college woman's handbook
Two recent woman Barnard graduates are the authors of the new
College Woman's Handbook, which covers a variety of issues ranging
fronn financial aid to birth control.
Rachel Oobkin, 27, a computer consultant, and Shana Sippy, 24, who
attends Harvard University Divinity School are the authors of this, a
"reality 101" course for female undergraduates.
To determine what issues to address, Dobkin and Sippy canvassed
women's studies departments and campus organizations nationwide,
and gathered input from more than 10,000 college women.
Much of the book's focus is on letting college women know where to
seek help on campus if they become overwhelmed by thie stresses, chal-
lenges and temptations of college life.
The book emphasizes thinking preventively at>out danger.
"Whether it's wearing light-colored clothing when you're going out
at night, knowing something about a car if you're driving cross-country
or knowing what the nsks are if you cfioose to engage in any kind of
sexual activity," Dobkin said.
Financial aid available for wonnen
The new, 1995-1997 edition of the Directory of financial Aids for
Women, which provides information about special resources available to
women, is now in stores everywhere.
This 1 995-1997 edition of the directory identifies more than 1,500
scholarships, fellowships, grants, loans, awards and internships set aside
for women and women's organizations.
Some examples of what the directory has to offer include $4,000
annually for women who want to ma|or in accounting, up to $50,000
in venture capital for women- owned txjsinesses, up to $5,000 each for
older women to start or go back to college and $1,000 to support
"hiqfi-nsk" feminist orqani/ations.
Additional programs include $3,000 each for women from develop-
ing countries to study here, $14,000 for women to travel or study out-
side the United States and up to $10,000 annually for nonprofit organi-
zations focusing on women

Women's business conference
The second annual Women's Business Conference, a conference
which gave women a chance to network and share ideas, was held Oct.

"This conference is all about our ability to energize each other," said
Dianne fuller Doherty, one of the event's organizers. She and other
organizers formed their own support group last year from memtjers of
the panel.
At this year's session, nearly everyone who attended signed up to )oin

New domestic violence
report examines prevention
By Laura Schmidt
Collegian Staff
The Civic Researcfi Institute. Inc.
of Kingston. N|. has developed the
Domestic Violence Report, a new
resource lor professionals engaged
across all fronts in the fight against
domestic violence.
The Domestic Violence Report is
the new report letter devoted exclu-
sively lo helping readers stay current
with the best new ideas and
approaches in preventing, prosecut-
ing, and treating domestic abuse.
According to the Domestic
Violence Report, overall. 3.9 million
women in America arc abused annu-
ally by past or present intimale part-
ners. Weapons are used in 30 percent
of all domestic violence incidents.
The report also slates that domes-
tic violence injuries are at least as
severe as those suffered in 90 percent
of violent felonies. Most domestic
violence incidents are still treated as
misdemeanors. In addition. 40 pcr-
cenl of women killed in America are
murdered by their current or former
husbands or lovers.

treatment programs, law enforcement
tactics and strategies, rehabilitation
and correctional programs, and cur-
rent developments in the state and
federal courts, legislatures and agen-
cies
The report keeps its readers
informed of rapidly changing
case-law. legislation, policy develop-
ments, and research.
According to Civic Research
Institute. Inc., real progress in pre-
venting domestic violence and treat-
ing victims and perpetrators depends
on the coordinated efforts of profes-
sionals in widely diverse fields.
Some of these fields include the
police, the justice system, the medical
and mental health communities, fam-
ily lawyers and advocacy groups.
Upcoming issues of Domestic
Violence Report will focus on practi-
cal solutions to preventing abuse and
prosecuting it when it occurs. It will
feature approaches now being tested
and proved by the country's leading
district attorneys and legal defense
advocates.
In addition, the report will look at
how to safely protect victims and their
children with civil orders, and how lo
enforce an order of protection.
HOLYOKE — The battered
women's shelter. Womanshelter
Companeras. will sponsor a speech
tomorrow by the former United
States Surgeon General Dr. loycelyn
Elders at Holyoke Community
College.
The Womanshelter Companeras
hopes Elders lecture will arouse
ongoing discussions in the communi-
ty-
Elders was chosen to speak
because she is "a controversial person
that the community might be inter-
ested in." said Morgan Forrest, the
Community Educator at
Womanshelter Companeras.
Elders, an educator, professor, par-
ent, and doctor has many dynamic
views about health issues concerning
women and children.
She believes that violence, sexually
transmitted diseases, poverty, and
substance abuse are the biggest
threats to the health and well-being
of children today.
Forrest feels that Elders will be an
effective speaker because she
"believes strongly in prevention of
women's and children's health
issues."
Elders was nominated as Surgeon
General of the US Public Health
Service by President Clinton in 1993.
She was the first African- American
woman lo hold the post.
During her work as surgeon gener-
al. Elders stated in a press release of
the Senate hearings surrourKiing her
confirmation, that she wanted to
change the way people think about
health b>' putting prevention first.
"I want to be the voice and vision
of the poor and powerless." Elders
said.
Elders, who has had a diverse
background in health issues, first
became involved in the health profes-
sion at the age of 18 when she
entered the army and received train-
ing as a physical therapist.
She attended the University of
Arkansas Medical School on the Gl
bill and graduated in 1960. She then
became an intern at the University of
Minnesota Hospital in Minneapolis.
She also completed a pediatric resi-
dency and an endocrinology fellow-
ship at the University of Arkansas
Medical Center in Little Rock.
After receiving her fellowship and
board certification in 1976. Elders
became a professor of pediatric
endocrinologist in 1978.
Elders has held a numbers of pres-
tigious posts and continues to be
involved in public service and profes-
sional medical associations.
Eddie lennings-Wigfall of the
Womanshelter Companeras.
believes that Elders speech will be
affective.
"Elders knows something about
our organization and health issues
concerning children, family violence,
and the effects thai violence has on
children." lennings-Wigfall said.
"The women's shelter hopes that
the community has .some understand-
ing of what we're about."
lennings-Wigfall said, "because
domestic violence is one of the num-
ber one health risks to women."
"Dr. Elders docs not express all of
the views of the Womanshelter, but
encourages anyone who is curious to
come," lennings-Wigfall said.
Locals speak about
Beijing conference
By Aimee Schwartz
Collegian Staff
Local people who attended the
Beijing Women's Conference last
month say the experience has
changed their lives. Energized by the
conference, they came back willing to
share their experiences with the pub-
lic.
The purpose of the
Non-Governmental Organization
Forum, which was a separate part of
the official United Nations Fourth
World Conference on Women, was
to "bring women together to net-
work, share information and have
contact with each other in an infor-
mal setting." Kate Kinney, an
Amherst resident who attended the
conference, said.
The conference allowed Barbara
Love, a faculty member of the School
of Education at the University of
Massachusetts, to talk with women
she would otherwise not have had
the chance to talk with.
"It was very empowering for me to
share with and hear from women all
over the world." she said. "The con-
ference gave me a sense of connec-
tion with many kinds of women and
a sense of community in a way that I
did not have before."
Ben Zcman. a UMass graduate stu-
dent whose concentration is social
justice education, went to the confer-
ence as a representative of the
National Organization for Men
Against Sexism.
"One of my goals was to talk to
women and learn what their lives
were like." he said. "The opprcfssion
of women and violence against
women is caused by men. It is mostly
women who work to end it. This
doesn't seem fair to me. We made the
mess so wc should be more involved
in cleaning it up."
The issues that concern women are
not limited to reproductive rights.
Kinney said.
"Women's issues are actually
humanities issues being looked at
through women's eyes." she said.
Organizations from 185 countries
participated in the conference. Each
day participants of the conference
could choose from hundreds of work-
shops to attend.
Some of the issues discussed in the
workshops included: education,
reproductive health, participation in
the economic development of a coun-
try, violence against women, the envi-
ronment, the conditions of women
during war and many other topics.
Kinney. Zenian and Love had dif-
ferent reasons for attending the con-
ference, but they agreed the goal of
the conference organizers was
reached. Pc-ople came away from the
conference with a new perspective of
the world and the strength lo contin-
ue lo improve the situations of
women across the globe.
"I care deeplv of racism, classism
and other divisions that keep us from
being able lo work effectively togeth-
er." Kinney said. "My focus is on
building bridges between people."
Kinney stressed the importance of
working lo improve people's lives at
the community level. "The best laws
in the world won't work unless we
work with each other to incorporate
true societal change." she said. "The
process of exchanging life stories is
very transformative. When we make
friends with people in another coun-
try that country comes alive for us; a
personal connection exists. We come
home with a vested interest in our
country not being at war with that
country."
Zeman plans lo organize an exhibit
with all the posters, brochures, post-
cards, pictures, comic books and per-
sonal journal entries he has collected
from the conference.
"1 want the women's voices thai 1
heard lo be heard by others. I want
to allow people who couldn't go to
the conference to experience it." he
.said.
Love, who has her doctorate in
education with a concentration in
multicultural organizational develop-
ment, allended and led workshops
about empowerment for women and
the participation of women in com-
munity development.
Dr. Joycelyn Elders will speak in Holyoke tomorrow night.
Phenomenal Woman
By Mayo Angelou
Pretty women wonder
where my secret lies
I'm not cute or built to
fit 0 fashion model's
size.
But when I start to tell
them
they think I'm telling
lies.
Isov,
It's the reach of my
arms,
the span of my hips,
the stride of my step,
the curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomally
Phenomenal woman.
That's me.
I walk into a room
just as cool as you
please.
And to a man,
the fellows stand or
fall down to their knees.
Then they swarm
around me,
like a hive of honey
bees.
Isov,
It's the fire in my eyes,
and the flash or my
teeth.
The swing in my waist,
and the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman.
That's me.
Men themselves have
wondered
what they see in me.
They try so much
but they can't touch
mv inner mystery,
when I try to show
them,
they soy they still can't
see.
I say.
It's in the arch of my
bock
The sun of my smile
the ride of my breasts
the grace of my style
I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That's me.
Now you understand
Just why my head's not
bowed.
And I don't shout or
jump about
Or nave to talk real
loud.
When you see me pass-
ing
it ought to moke my
proud.
I say,
it's the click of my heels,
the bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
the need for my care.
Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally
f*henomenal woman
That's me.

Bruins entered the Stanley Cup Finals as favorites over
the Oilers but bowed out in live because of the prob-
lem that has plagued them ever since it first manifested
in that series: lack of scoring depth
The Penguins promptly matched the offer and
Stevens proceeded to score 54 goals as Pittsburgh cap-
tured the firsi of two consecutive Stanley Cups.
This time. Pittsburgh had no choice. GM Craig
Patrick conducted the obligatory fire sale, trimming
such stars as Stevens. Luc Robilaille and Larrv
Murphy from its payroll.
But it isn't Stevens who has made waves through
the Bruins ho-hum 2-5-2 start. Thai would be
McEachern, whom Patrick probably didn't miss as
much as the others because he brought Brian
Smolinski in return.
Smolinski has as great an upside as McEachern.
perhaps greater, but he couldn't fill the position that
Boston has been seeking lo fill as long as ii has tried
to clean up the Charles River: first line left wing.
Many believed and some insisted thai this was
Stevens' spot, and he may still get to play there. But
McEachern is loving life up top with the big guvs
Adam Gates and Cam Neely
And what a success story this is. McEachern was a
hero for Boston University from 1988-1991. in his
senior season leading one of the great college hockey
teams that did not win a national title That rosier
included such luminaries as Tkachuk. Tony Amonle
and Scoll LaChance.
McEachern began his NHL career with promise in
Pittsburgh, but fell out of favor within a couple of
years and was shipped to Los Angeles, where he lan-
guished in Kings black and silver. So then it was back
lo Steel City, but not for long. McEachern is now not
only on the team where he belongs, he's back in the
limelight where he's always flourished.
One of the great moments I took with me from the
Boston Garden was his end-to-end overtime rush
that produced the game winning goal over .Maine in
the 1991 Hockey East Championship. McEachern
may provide many more memorable moves in the
New Building.
• Rented Goalie of the Week: Mike Richler A 7-3

both at MSG'.' Oh. Beezer. where ha\e you gone'.'
• Uh-oh. that angry grumbling I hear is those peev
ed Rangers fans, ready lo dig in on Blaine Lachcr.
Well, go ahead. The Loch Ness monster is nothing
but a myth, perhaps that's all the Lach Nets monster
is.
• Another local makes good: Ian Moran of Acton
and Boston College is now a regular in Pittsburgh's
defense.
• Maybe this is the year that Toronto adds up on
the ice to what il does on paper. For the past sever-
al seasons, few teams have entered the year with
more talent spread across all three positions. Think
the Leafs' defense was soft'' They added high-pro-
tile performers Murphy and Dmitri Yushkevich.

"We passed ihc ball well and

Kenny said.
Physically speaking. Harvard has
the heighi advantage in loday's

As of laic, ihe Minulcwomen have

Now is the time for the remainder
of this talent to shine through.
Throughout the season, there has

ST. LOUIS - One of the worst
teams in the major leagues got one of
the best managers.
Tony La Russa. who led the
Oakland Athletics to a championship
and three AL pennants in 10 years,
on Monday signed a two-year con-
tract worth an estimated $1.5 million
per season lo manage the St. Louis
Cardinals.
The Ordinals finished fourth in
the NL Central at 62-81 under |oe
Torre and Mike lorgenscn. l^ Russa
didn't fare much belter as the
Athletics finished last in the AL West
at 67-77. but his track record put
him in demand and he took advan-
tage of an opportunity to leave
Oakland with two years left on his
contract.
Cardinals general manager Walt
lockelly was director of baseball
administration for Oakland for 10
years before becoming the Colorado
Rockies' assistant GM in 1995. He
joined the Cardinals la.st H'ason.
"The hiring of Tonv la Russa to
manage the Cardinals is a huge step
in ihe rebuilding process of ihis orga-
nization." |ocketl\ said "He's one of
the best managers of this era."
La Russa. has managed for 17
years — all in the AL. He didn't
appear too worried about changing
leagues and said he wanted lo pro-
duce a contending leam "as early as
possible."
"I believe in high goals." La Russa
said. "I believe in big dreams."
Cardinals outfielder Bernard
Gilkey attended the news conference
and endorsed the move.
"He's been to ihc World Scries.
he's won Ihe big games.* Gilkey said.
"He's just a competitive person and
that's what we need "

pitching coach. Dave Duncan, with
him Duncan replaces Mark Riggins.
who was with the Cardinals one sea-
son.
"That was a slam dunk." U Russa
said. 'No coniesi. We are a team."
The Canjinals also will retain Lou
Brock and Red Schoendicnst in
capacities that have yet to be deter-
mined. U Russa spoke Monday with
balling coach Chris Chambliss and
said other members of his Oakland
staff would be considered for other
openings.
lorgensen returns, at least for now.
to his job as director of player devel-
opment for the Cardinals, ffc's under
consideration for the general manag-
er job in Montreal.

So when the team's pregame lapi- pla.s bifore ihe game
tomorrow, it will include a song ihai hasn'i been on ii in a
few years.
"Ain't No Mountain High Enough." the theme song of
UMass field hockey when rK)nnell> pla>i-d. and for a lol
of other years as well, will make ils 1995 debut in honor
of Donnelly's final game.
Donnelly dcxlincxl comment on her final game saving:
"It will be really special, but I'll gel loo emotional if I start
talking about it."
Tolman Field
In what sounds like a broken record, today's game
could be the final game at Tolman Field. With legislalion
being debated in Massachusells Slate Legislature thai
could bnng asirulurf lo UMass. ihe program's long affilia-
lion wiih ihe field may be ending.
While lX)nnelly acknowledged thai lurf is essential lo
the program's success, she admilled ihal she was glad lo
be al Tolman one final season.
"Going on complete emotion, I'm really glad we played
on Tolman II is really special. I love Tolman. But I'm way
loo much of a Hallmark mooshball.'" she said laughing,
"lis jusi unique wilh Ihe words Roll UMass' painted on
the hill... You can see the valley and Mount Sugarloaf. It's
beautiful.
"I can't walk on thai field without reviving so many
memories It's like ghosts up there. Obviously the lurf is
something lo celebrate, but you don't want to lorget the
memories."
Notes: Freshman forward Kale Putnam captured two
Allanlic 10 awards this pasl week, grabbing both the
conferences Player of the Week and Rookie of the
Week honors. Pulnani nelled two goals this weekend in
games against Connecticut and l.aSalle The Cireenfield
native is second on the Massachusetts squad in scoring
wilh four goals and five assists for I 5 points.
Dartmouth checks into the conlesi al 7-5. but has lost
two of the last three.
The game will be a homecoming for senior goalie

UMass field hockey honors four on Senior Day
Seniors, Donnelly, and possibly Totman Field hid farewell today in final home game
By Matt Votitowr
Collegian Staff
Calling an\ senior day an end of an era is a
cliche, but the phrase is fitting because today's field
hiKkey game against Dartmouth will mark the end
of three eras.
In what will likely be the final game at Totman
Field, lour players will plav their final home game
and Megan Donnelly will coach her final game as
coach of the Minutewomen, in tixJay's "Senior Day
Festivities."
Streya Volla
\ olla will be most remembered for scoring some
big goals Of her lour career tallies, three of them
have been game-winners.
When L'Mass recorded its memorable victory
over then No. 2 lames Madison, it was \ollas
overtime goal that cemented the win,
■'Every goal is great for the team. I was jusi lucky
to be in the right place at the right time." she said
.And while it may be the big goals and her steady
play at Ixjih forward and midfield thai people will
remember her by. it is a different memory thai
most slicks out in her mind.
"The best moment came my freshman year when
we were lining up tor the national anthem." she
began. "I kK)ked around and realized that everyone
on the field was there because thev wanted to go
further.
"Listening to the anthem, even now gives mc
chills, because I remember that first game."
Volla was named the learns captain last Spring
and was honored to be chosen.
"I was proud to be chosen." she said. "To be a
captain (if a program of this caliber is a great
honor "
Volla will get an added bonus, because her final
collegiate games will be played in the area where
she grew up. The Minutewomen close out their sea
siin at the Atlantic 10 tournament in Philadelphia,
just 20 minutes away from Volla's home town of
Gladwyne.
■'I'm gi>ing to miss it so much, but it will be great
to be home for my last game." she said.
Andrea Cabral
Cabral is one of a long line of defenders that
have formed a tradition of stingy defense at UMass.
-When I was a freshman. I looked up to every-
one and what they had done." she said. "To be a
part of that is unbelievable."
Cabral also spoke of the cohesiveness that has
defined Massachusetts.
UMass is light, like a family." said the Somerset
native. "Everyone pulls for each other. Everyone
backs up everybody."
Cabral will leave with a bruised body, after four
vears of putting it on the line to keep opponents
from scoring.
"I'm going to miss it. but I'm ready to move on.
It's been a rough four years." she said.
Stacy Walker
The goalkeeper is an athletic junior, but an
academic senior. With Hilary Rose likely to
return after a lour with the Great Britain nation-
al team and freshman Zowie Tucker joining the
team next year. Walker will likely not take the
extra year.
After serving as a back-up for her first three sea-
sons. Walker was given the starting job for the
1 995 season and has thrived in the role.
Walker's top performance came in a 1-0 upset
shutout ov er then No. 4 perennial powerhouse Old
Dominion.
"Of couise I'll miss it." she said. "It's been a big
part of my college career."
Kerry Melelski
Metelski is in the same academic/athletic situa-
tion as Walker, and will leave to graduate in the
Spring.
Metelski has missed the entirety of the season so
far. but will dress for today and the remainder of
the season.
She has been a contributor the previous two
years, however, seeing starting time at both for-
ward and midfield and was on the field when the
Minutewomen upset No. 1 North Carolina last
year.
"Being able to beat the No. 1 felt the best. Of all
the games. I will look back on that."
As they step on Totman Field for the final time
the players have humble hopes for where they will
stand in the tradition of Massachusetts field hock-
ey
"1 want to be remembered as someone who in
tough situations lifted up the team, as someone
who gave her all to the team on or off the field."
Volla said.
'I want to be remembered as someone who tried
really hard and helped everybody out. and lived up
to my own example." Cabral said.
"I'll definitely miss it. It's been great playing
here. I'll look back on it." Metelski said. "It was a
great experience. I was very fortunate to play for
UMass."
Megan Donnelly
The former player and current coach will say
her farewell to Totman Field as well. Donnelly is
in the final year of a two-year interim position as
head coach, filling in for Pam Hixon. who has
left the University to serve as head coach of the
US National Team.
While Donnelly will not be included in the cere-
monies, it is her finale as well.

UMass 2-1 in Cal
By Fred Hurlbrink, Jr.
Collegian Staff
While the rest of Massachusetts was basking in the
glory of a beautiful New England autumn weekend, the
men's water polo team had to suffer through a grueling
three-day stint in the Baldv View Tournament in
Claremont. Ca.
It wasn't all fun in the sun. though, as the No. 14
Minutemen lost to No. 8 Air Force. 9 7. on Friday after
posting iheir 20th victory of the campaign via a 19-5
thrashing of Chapman.
UMass ci)ach Russ Yarworth mentioned that the out
come of this weekend's matches meant next -ti)- nothing to
the team as far as post season play is concerned, but the
Air force game would be a good measuring stick as to
how far they could go in the NCAA tournament.
Air force posed the same problem for UMass that Navy
has in the Minutemen's only two previous losses: they
were just too physical for the Massachusetts defense to
handle.
The club's stars came up big in the losing effort, as senior
Luis l.imardo and fi-eshnian Brian Stahl each netted a pair ol

The Massachusetts and Harvard
volleyball teams are in the midst of
their longest winning streaks of the
season. What happens when two
teams with such momentum face
each other? It becomes a battle of
heart.
Tonight at 7 p.m. in the Curry
Hicks Cage we will find out which
team wants victory more as each
seeks to keep their streak alive. The
Minutewomen (16-9, 8-4 in Atlantic
10 play) have won their last five
matches. The Crimson comes to
Amherst with a record of 10-6, 3-2
in the Ivy League. With the regular
season waning away, this evening's
match promises to be a battle.
Harvard has four consecutive wins
behind them, dropping Central
Connecticut, Columbia, Cornell and
Dartmouth. This streak could pose
quite a threat to the UMass offense.
"We play Harvard every year, and
they get belter every time we play
them." Massachusetts coach Bonnie
Kenny said, "(Harvard coach] len
Bates is doing a very good job with
their program We're going to have
to play well, but it's a match we
shoiJld win."
The Crimson is coming off a big
win over Ivy League juggernaut
Cornell, edging out the defending
league champions 15-13 in the fifth
match. Needless to say, they would
like nothing more than to give UMass
a scare.
Last weekend, Massachusetts beat
Duquesne (15 6, 15 9. 8-15. 15-6)
on Friday, then blanked St.
Bonaventure in three games. Kenny
points to her squad's impressive
defense as a key factor in the week-
end's victories The Minutewomen

Freshman guard Charlton
Clarke had his right knee re- eval-
uated on Saturday for further dam-
age, but results are still unknown.
If there is still damage, arthroscop-
ic surgery might be needed. With
or without surgery, Clarke is
expected to be back by the end of
November.
Clarke was diagnosed with a
slight tear of the meni.scus carti-
lage in his right knee last
Wednesday after apparently suffer-
ing the injury during informal
pre-season workouts. The
6-foot-3-inch guard aggravated
the injury during warm- ups at
Midnight Madness which prevent-
ed him from participating.
With the Injury to Clarke, the
Minutemen's depth at guard
decreased greatly. Edgar Padilla
and Carmelo Travieso are the only
other guards on the team who
have had playing experience.

Masked man lectures
to students about love
By Amy H. Porodysz
Collegian Staff
After the unidentified man in the
cat-mask shouted his "platform of
love." across the campus pond yes-
terday, he agreed to an un-masked
interview in the parking garage.
"You get a rare privilege." he
said, rubbing his eyes which were
sore from the mask.
The cat- masked man. who has
been shouting at crowds sitting on
the Student Union steps every
Tuesday at 215 for the last month,
had asked the large crowd outside
the Student L'nion to refrain from
eating at McDonald's and Burger
King or drinking Coca-Cola, to
pick up litter and to remove dead
animals from the road. Me. and a
few other speakers (only one of
whom was wearing a mask), spoke
on nuclear power, of violence
against women, fascism and "white
systems of power."
These weekly discussions, which
some bystanders claim are staged,
are about "saving the world."
according to senior natural
resources studies major Lynelle
Engel.
"I've got some iiKredible stuff in
me that I need out," yelled the
cat-masked man. who seemed to
have caught the attention of the
crowd whether or not they under-
stocx] what exactly he was getting
out and why.
Other speakers were more clear,
such as an Indian woman from
Canada who said her people are
suffering because of power plants
that benefit Americans.
"All of you need to make a deci-
sion whether you want to destroy
the earth or whether you want to
live in harmony with nature." said
the Canadian wtwnan's translator.
The interview
When asked if he was a student,
the masked-man said. "I don't
choose to give anyone the privilege
of further knowing me. because
that's what the western system of
oppression is all about.
"I express my freedom by wear-
ing the mask." he explained.
Yet. he said he asks other to take
off their masks. "Masks of illusion,
masks of fascism, masks of disillu-
sionment, masks of fear...." he
yelled on the stairway in the
Campus Center parking garage,
spitting out the word "masks" each

A
HC lecture examines far-right
Panel traces history of distrust in nation's political system
By Michod EKoit
Collagion Staff
The far-right, increasingly in the spotlight since events
in Waco and Oklahoma City, continue to come under
scrutiny as America considers the dilemma which they
pose to the country's values and stxurity. Such was the
fiK'us of a panel discussion at Hampshire College Monday
night.
Entitled "The Far Right: Armed Militias and Political
Violence." the speakers included Chip Berlet of Political
Research Associates, jan Dizard of Amherst College and
Philip Green of Smith College.
Berlel traces the roots of the American far right to the
historical development of the country.
"You really have to go back to the frontier mentality
and manifest destiny." said Berlet. two driving forces in
the settlement of the west.
The expansionist nature of the time, which embraced
the liberal notion of the iiKlividuar« Inherent worth and
power, ingrained a certain distrust towards overl> central
ized authority in the .American political psyche, according
to Berlet
In the mcxiem context, times of ecoiKimic crisis propel
this theory into practice, said Bi-rlet. who cited financial
trends in recent years which continue to squeeze the mid
die and lower classes.
"They feel like the social contract has been ripped up
atKi thrown in their face." Berlet said.
Some far right organizations, said Berlet. react to these
circumstances either by removing themselves from the
system and society altogether, or by mobilizing politically,
as in the case of the Christian Coalition.
"Their focus is almost exclusively on the electoral
process." Beriet said.
Central to many far-right groups is a strong belief in
conspiracy theory, said Berlet The end of the Cold War
sent many of these groups sears hing for a new scapegoat
- — "the secret elite," which, these organizations believe,
subversively control the world
The United Nations, said Berlet, is a cimimon target for
conspiracy theorists, fearing a tK"w world order which will
impose upon them unconstitutiimal ideals.
"The construction of the olhei." Berlel said, is key in
understanding the far-right mind set "All movements
need a fcxus," he added, a scmrce to direct blame
The far right phenomenon. spc>cifically militias. Bi-rlet
said, are "grass roots efforts." which are populated in
some cases by neo-nazis or members of the Ku Klu\

WASHINGTON. DC - Fifty
years ago, millions of jews walked
under the cast iron gate, through a
sign that read "Arbeit macht frei."
work shall set you free L.asl Monday,
iJ students from the University of
Massachusetts walked under a replica
of that same gate.
The words, forever carved into
infamy, were originally above the
entrance to the Nazi death camp,
Auschwitz, but now bung as one of
many silent memorials in the United
States f-lolocaust Memorial Museum,
in Washington DC.
For many of the students, express-
ing what the trip meant was difficult,
if not impossible Tears shtme in eyes
and voices choked as the students
talked of what they had seen.
Marc Assa. a senior at UMass, said
"It really struck a chord with me
because so many of my relatives died
in the Hok»caust... So many j people}
walked through that sign, and even
though ii wasn't ihi sign, I could
envision walking through the gales of
Auschwitz Here's a sign that so
man> people went through and never
came out, and here I was walking
past the same sli>gan,"
It wasn't just the sign that evoked
such poignant memories in the
group. The museum laid out the his-
tory of the Holocaust, from the
painful beginnings of Hitler's rise to
power in Gemiany, through the war
and the world's refusal to act. and
finally to the finish, as Nazi officials
faced trial for their crimes against
humanity.
The museum combined films,
recordings, pictures, and even the
architecture of the building itself to
illustrate how the Nazis planned and
executed iheir "Final Solution "
Bui the silent artifacts of this dark-
est period in human history were
some of the most poignant
reminders Silverware and shoes
taken from helpless people were piled
high next to replicas of the ovens
used to cremate murdered victims
and the small crumped train that
transported millicms tu theii final
resting places.
Stacey Ichrer. a freshman, suid it
was difficult to put her feelings .ihout
the museum into words, even though
it was her third time there "It's so

BU scientists to recount
the Million Man March
By Katharine Webster
Associated Press
BOSTON — A Boston University
scientist invited leaders of the Nation
of Islam and officials from the
National Park Service on Tuesday to
see the technology he used to esti-
mate the size of the crowd at the
Million Man March,
"This is academic. This is neutral
territory. We're not going to discuss
any of the political implications." said
Farouk ElBaz. director of the univer-
sity's Remote Sensing Center.
El-Baz said that after six hours of
meetings, both sides agreed to anoth-
er recount of the marchers.
"We have some new pictures, so
what we are going to do is do a
recount based on the better pictures
and coverage from the park service."
he said.
The count has been disputed since
the march. The U.S. Park Police esti-
mated the crowd at 400,000, based
on 55 mm photographs they took
from a helicopter. The Nation of
Islam, however, which helped orga-
nize the march, estimated the crowd
at more than I million.
The Nation of Islam has threatened
to file suit against the park service
over its low count, charging that the
agency was motivated by racism to
underestimate the crowd.
The Remote Sensing Center, which
was commissioned to do a crowd esti-
mate by ABC's "Good Morning
America." based on the park service's
photographs, said approximately
870,000 people attended the march on
Washington's Mall, Their study had a
margin of error of 25 percent, meaning
as few as 655,000 people or as many
as 1 .1 million could have attended.
Although BU officials said earlier
Tuesday that center researchers
would announce the recount lota!
Wednesday morning. El-Baz said late
Tuesday afternoon that the recount
would lake two or three days.
El-Baz has criticized the park ser-
vice's method of photographing the
crowd, saying police should have
flown directly overhead in a fixed -
wing aircraft and taken overlapping,
high-resolution photographs with
two 9-by-9-inch cameras.
He said Tuesday the park service
could not do accurate crowd estimates
because it did not have the necessary
equipment or financial resources.
"If you want to do it correctly, so
nobody questions what you say. you
need the right stuff." he said.
However Leonard Muhammed.
chief of staff for the Nation of Islam
and chairman of the Million Man
March, was skeptical.
"Dr. El-Baz made an appropriate
statement for a scientist. I'm not a
scientist." Muhammed said.
He indicated after the meeting that
he still thought racism played some
part in the park service's low esti-
mate of the crowd size, but sounded
a more conciliatory tone.
"Not by the whole department.
We're not using a broad brush," he
said.
Park service officials attending the
meeting could not immediately be
reached for comment.

]i4dicial Advising Program inducts
new staff of trained peer advisors
tMiO IMUV'((XltCIAN
Paul Vasconcellos, Assistant Dean o< Students inducted new peer advisors for ttie )udk:lary Advisory Program
last nigtit In Herter Hall.
By AUison G>nnoliy
Collegian Staff
Twenty new trainees were induct-
ed into the judicial Advising Program
last night. The new staff will scr\c to
inform .students on their rights when
prosecuted by Residence Hall
Directors, Area Directors and the
Dean of Students Office.
Attorney General of the Student
Government Association lason Fields
is the co-coordinator of the program.
He feels there is an increasing need
for peer advisors to help students
who do not know how the judicial
system works.
"The program helps students rep-
resent themsclvc's betti-r in a hearing
or in contract negotiations,' Fields
said. "I would like to see every stu-
dent who gets written up to sec
someone in the office, to get tips and
information on their proceedings as
they go through it."
Students who get written up ni<iy
come 10 the program's office and
seek help from a peer advisor in their
negotiations with Residence
Directors, Area Directors and the
Dean of Students. Their jurisdiction
is split according to rank, with RD's
dealing with matters such as drinking
violations. AD's dealing with misde-
meanors like vandalism, and the
Dean's office dealing with physical
assaults such as rape.
The advising program is run in
conjunction with the Dean of
Students Office. It began as a class
four years ago. sponsored by the
Legal Services Office, the Dean of
Students Office and then Attorney
General Dierdre Hannon. Rannon
was impressed with the success of
the class and decided to expand it
into a program available to all stu-
dents.
This is ihe first time that the
Dean's office and the Attorney
General have worked together to gel
the program moving. Paul
Visconcellos. Assistant Dean of
Students, is pleased with the cooper-
ation.
"I'm very positive about the pro-
gram because it's a joint effort
betwcvn the Attorney General and the
Dean of Students office," Visconcellos
said. "I appreciate lason's contribution
to help with the program It made a
tremendous difference."
Visconcellos also said the advising
service ib necessary.
"It will prove to be a valuable ser-
vice to students. Most students have
not experienced the judicial process
and having a trained student guide
them is very critical."
Fields pointed out that the biggest
problem lies with the lack of stan-
dardization in sanctions. He is cur-
rently most concerned with the prob-
lem in Southwest, where students
with bathroom violations are being
ordered to write 3-b page papers
u-ith bibliographies and footnotes.
The RD's and the AD's are also
not aware of a student s history
before they meet with ihem. A stu-
dent with no prior record could end
up with a much lengthier punishment
than one who has a history of vandal-
ism, only on the basis of how the stu-
dent acts towards the RD or AD at
the hearings.
"The RD's and AD's are having a
free-for-all." Fields said.
Fields is personally looking into
writing a guide which would set stan-
dard sanctions for all RD's and AD's,
as well as the fXain's Office.
The program will also offer anony-
mous and confidential evaluation
forms for students who have received
help, so the coordinators can make
(he program more "student useful,"
Fields said.
Visconcellos holds high expecta-
tions for the program and believes
that the new staff is competent to
handle sludciil problems.
"I'm very excited that there are 20
trainees," Visconcellos said. "We
strive to make them as familiar as
possible in the judicial process and
how they can best help students in
their role."
If you would like more information
on the program or need advice on
current proceedings, contact the
ludiciary Advisory Program at
545-1272 The office is located at

thus "arc being pushed to the right."
Militias, said Dizard, feel cornered by a government
which infringes on their personal freedom and fosters an
unnatural dependence.
The far-right tends to focus ihcir blame in this direc-
tion, and not on the market, despite the fact that it "cre-
ates subdivisions within society," said Dizard.
Green, a professor of government, said the ami- gov-
ernment zeal found so often in many militia groups has
dangerous implications for the general public.
Many militias, said Green, compare themselves to the
minutemen of 1776. However, now. they are not combat-
ling tyranny, but rather, "agents of a elected government. "
Attacks in recent years on members of the Forestry
Service. EPA. FBI and ATF. said Green, are "potentially a
declaration of war on all the rest cif us."
To act with hostile force against them, "is to make war
on Ihe people," Green said.
Many militia and far-right groups overstate their griev-
ances, said Green, claiming that I hey have been singk-d
out for harassment, where, in reality, federal mandates
such as the income tax apply to all Americans.
"They feel the entire system of law is unjust," Cjreen
said.
The panel was sponsored by the Five-College Program
in Peace and World Security Studies.

"Because You Asked For It"
Black, Jewish relations topic of lecture
By Jacob W.Midwels
Collegian Staff
In a pleasant change from the norm, tensions
between black and lewish students on the University of
Massachusetts arc at a low ebb, even with the recent
national controversy surrounding L.ouis Farraklian and
the Million Man March.
It is in this attitude that acclaimed scholars Michael
Lerner and Cornel West will be speaking at nearby
Mount Holyoke College as a part of their Inclusiveness
Program.
Lerner. who is Jewish, and West, who is black, are
CO- authors on a new book, lews and Blacks: Let the
Healing Begin, which is the topic of their discussion.
"With the various controversies and opinions that
have revolved around the Million Man March. I think
this is an issue that is very timely." said Kevin
McCaffrey, the director of new services at Mount
Holyoke College. "Many people in the Jewish commu-
nity and the African American community are looking
for an understanding on how these two groups can
mend their fences."
Lerner is the founder and editor of Tikkun. a liberal
magazine dealing with current issues, as well as having
written a book on lewish theology.
West, a profes-sor of Religion and African-American
studies at Harvard University, has authored nine other
books including the best seller. Race Matters.
The Inclusiveness Program has been held for a num-
ber of years at Mount Holyoke. according to
McCaffrey.
"It's primary focus is to bring to campus community
lorums in which to discuss such crucial issues as mulli-
culiuralism, diversity, race, gender and class issues."
he explained.
As far as tensions between the two groups,
McCaffrey said there has not been as much al Mount
Holyoke as there has at the larger UMass-Amhcrsi
campus.
"I have not seen evidence of overt tension between
lewish and African-American students." he said,
"but I think at the same lime students here are very
conscious of tensions that might exist in our society"
and want "to work out solutions that might apply not
just to the campus community but steps we might
take as an American people to move ahead on this
issue."

j Bedie wins almost unanimously
TKe Ivory President sweeps elections while opponents boycott
By Belh Duff-Brown
Asiociotod Press
ABIDIAN. Ivory Coast —
President Henri Konan Bedie held
onto his job Monday with an over-
whelming % percent of the vole.
Opposition parties that boycotted
the election called the results a sham.
The presidential election Sunday
was the first for Hedie, the former
leader of the National Assembly who
took office when longtime ruler
Felix Houphouet-Boigny died in
l»»93.
According to the govemmeni, S6
percent of the 3.8 million registered
voters cast ballots.
The turnout was low compared
with 1990. when 70 percent went to
the polls to re-elect Houphouet-
■ masked-man
Boigny, who turned his country into
an island of stable prosperity in tur-
bulent West Africa.
The autocratic Bedie, 61, hasn't
been nearly as popular, but was
expected to win based largely on
Houphouet- Boigny 's popularity and
the power of Ihe Democratic Parly he
founded. The Democrats have ruled
Ivory Coast since independence from
France in I960.
The government blamed the low
lurTKMil on opposition threats of vio-
lence, but Bedie said the boycott had
not huri him politically.
"Ivorians. Ivorians. my dear broth-
ers aiMJ sisters, you have heeded my
call." a tearful Bedie said on nation-
wide television.
His sole challenger was law profes-
sor and human rights activist Francis
Wodic, 59, of the Ivorian Workers
Party. Wodie called for a decentral-
ized government and a new con.stitu-
lion that would reduce the powers of
the president.
Opposition newspapers ran
screaming headlines Monday pro-
claiming the boycott a success.
"Ivorians said "No!" to Bedie." La
Voic said.
The most formidable opposition
leader. Laurent Gbagbo of the
Ivorian Popular Front, made no pub-
lic statement.
The party's spokeswoman.
Odette Sauyet, called the results "a
farce' and said the party would
demand confirmation of the out-
come.
"They're not Ihe true rcsulls.* she
said.
cofttirMjed from poge I
man says he is "not anti-religious."
He says he does not support any par
licular political parly, although he
clearly dislikes Republicans.
"They jlessc Hclmes and Newt
Gingrich] claim ihey are doing this
and this for the people, but behind
their backs they're doing everything
for the masses," he said.
But the masked man said he it par
ticuiarly opposed to technology
"Automation creeps up," and trees
and grass are replaced with tar, he
had told the crowd.
When pressed lo identify himself
in some way, the man walked away
saying "jEvenj without my name,
without my age... it won't be long
before they come to find out if I'm
the Unabomber."
Then he turned and said, "In all
my anger, there's a search for love
and truth. I don't want lo hurt any-
body. They are hurting everybody."
The last thing he said was. "I liked
my cat and now it's dead."
Saving Ihc world
When senior communications
major Athanasios Mitrelias heard
Fngel talking about saving the world
after the rally, he told her. "Everyone
who tried to save the world destroyed
it in the end.
"Even Hitler and Mussolini, in
ihcir minds, tried to save the world."
said Mitrelias.
Afterwards, the masked man dis-
agreed, asking. "What about Ghandi'.'
What about Mother Theresa'' What
about Martin Luther King? What
abopl Corbin Hemey'.'"
Bui Mitrelias. along with many
other students, also agreed with the
masked man's methods.
"You can get angry and you can
scream and in the end you get caught
up in the anger and the screaming,*
said Mitrelias
"There's a great anger in this coun-
try." sakl the masked man. "Every lime
I come and do this I go away with
more compas.sHxi and less anger*
It's questionable whether or not
the crowd also goes away with lets
anger. A lot of shouting and swearing
is exchanged between the
masked-man. Ihe other speakers and
the crowd. On the other hand, after
the rally, several students remained
to discuss various issues, to encour-
age each other or recommend rele-
vant books.
When asked whether or not he
thinks he is reaching Ihe students, the
masked man didn't seem to care.
"Why are they silting there... let-
ting destruction come down on their
heads'.'* he asked.
museum
continued from page I
ed lo the Warsaw Ghetto, and from there to
Auschwitz, where his beloved mother and sister were
killed, and he was forecd into labor.
At the end of the display there were cards left by
other visitors, many of them children, telling of their
impressions. "Dear Daniel, I'm sorry the Germans
were so mean to you. especially because I am half
German." wrote one little girl. Other cards told of how
the children would never let this happen again.
Lehrer said that the display was the most touching
"because it was so simplified, but seeing it through the
eyes of the child made it seem so realistic. That was the
only part of the museum this lime that I actually cried at."
Like Lehrer, Assa was left stricken at Ihe plight of
Daniel, and the road he had to walk. "Seeing how an
innocent II- year-old kid who had... lo experience
such horrors, and the kind of things he had to go
through, and how he told the story, seeing it through
such a young person's eyes.
"Those cards all made me cry, it's just... it's so
painful lo get out of (the display) and read them, but
also it makes me happy that people recognize his brav-
ery and how he survived."
Even though he had been there before. Assa said the
museum still had an effect, more than just leaching
history.
"It's made me think about how we haven't learned
from past horrors. There is still genocide being prac-
ticed in the world today... Look at Bosnia and Rwanda
and we have the means to slop this, but we haven't..."

The circling speech of poUticians
For nian> .■\nierii.iins. national politics is something
that happens far awa\ in Washington. DC. out of
sight and largely out of mind. Congressmen come
and go. taxes rise and fall, and Republicans and
Deniivrats waste a lot of time fighting uith each other. In
the end. most people are unhappy, but since the place
where it happens is so far away, they don't ha\e the
chance to really see the shit go down or to stop it before it
begins.
I personally hold few illusions about this process, but I
was surprised b> what I found when I saw the privess
close up .More than just a government that lies. I saw a
gosemment that acts on the assumption people are stupid
and aren't going to realize what's really going on.
The place was Washington. DC. the center for the
hyper-drama that controls so many parts of our dails
lives I was attending a four day conven-
tion of the National Lesbian and Gay
lournalists .Association when I found
myself in a fancy ballroom filled with T\
cameras, several hundred people and The
Government.
The president of the organization. Lerov
Aarons. rose to the pvxJium and introduced
the two speakers for the day.
Massachusetts Rep Barney Frank and
George Stephanopt^ulos. senior advisor to
President Bill Clinton.
Bjrney Frank got up and delivered a
few jokes. (Ha ha What's your point?»
\e\t he talked about how "delighted" he
was to be back before the organization (You bet he was
delighted, getlmg another chance to let the gay and les
bian ciimmunity canv^nize him just because he's gay.i
Alter a pause to plug Stephanopoulos as a "consistentlv
effective force for decencv in this country." Frank mc)ved
on lo his personal campaign speech for Clinton. OK. now
it's time tor more |F"K comparisons — hmmm. bi>th stood
up fi>r minorities GvKxi. Barney, good, and how much did
IFK ever really do?
Frank did actually go on to say Clinton's -upport of the
gav community is a lot like IFK's support for blacks, but.
hey. haven't '50 years passed? Is that really something to
be proud of?
Finallv. Frank was ready to hand the mike over to
Siephanopsiulous. the magnificent press diva who handled
»o many press conference in the early days of the Clinton
.idniinistration. (lust make sure you don't have any deli-
cate clothes on. because you're going to be covered in
grease, this man is so slick. >
What folU>wed was a 50 to 40 minute outpouring i>f
such incredible bullshit. I found myself somewhat thun-
derstruck. How can politicians talk so much and yet say
so little^ How can they be so vague and evasive? Ht>w can
5omec>ne like Stephanopoulous stand before an entire
room of jc'unialists and act like they're a bunch of mind-
less cheep^
The main thrust of the speech was Clinton wants the
"gav vote." actually any vote, in the next election Big sur-
prise So what's he doing to get this vote'' Well, he's sent
out his handv little messenger to tell all the gav and les-
bian journalists why they and all their friends should vote
for him And not based on all his political views and
actions. ju*t on the way he deals with gav and lesbian
issues
Listening to Stephanopoulos. you'd think Clinton was
Cods gift to eanh. or at least God's gift to gays and les-
bians. Wow. the man has visited gay community centers,
talked tii people with .MDS. and appviinted gays and les-
bians to positic>ns in his administration. .MDS funding is
up. and the Americans with Disabilities Act is protecting
people with Hl\'. \er> impressive. Bill, but what else have
you got for us?
Stephanopoulos said the gays in the military thing
didn't work as well as Clinton would have liked, but "at
the very least, gays and lesbians serving openly in the mil-
itary won't get harassed " Excuse me. but isn't this the
same military that says it's okay to be gay or lesbian as
long as yc>u don't commit "hiimosexual acts." the kind
that get classified along with adultery and child abuse''
Isn't this the same military that is still kicking out per-
fectly giKxl soldiers and pilots and engineers just because
they might do a number on "unit cohe-
sion?"
The next big thing Clinton's done recent-
ly is put up support for the Employment
Non-Discrimination .Act. a bill that will
prohibit employment discrimination on the
basis of sexual orientation. This bill has
garnered a kit of suppvirt over the last year,
but Clinton didn't come up in favor of it
until la^i week.
VVhat was the delay? According to
Stephanopoulous. he was waiting for a
clause to exclude religic>us organizations
and email business from complying to
this legislation. I wonder who was
pulling his arm on this one. Oh well. I guess the gov-
ernment shouldn't go around telling churches who
they can discriminate against Fair enough But doesn't
this act come a bit too suspiciously close to his
renewed campaign to brown-nose American gays and
lesbians'*
It was at this point things went downhill. First.
Stephanopoulos tried to explain why Clinton failed to file
a "friend of the court" brief in a case currently before the
Supreme Court deciding on .Amendment 2 "This is a law
in Colorado that strikes down all IcKal laws that prohibit
discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
.According to Mr Senior Advisor, this law doesn't violate
any federal law That may be. but doesn't it look bad
when the president of the Lniled States is afraid to show
hi- -upptTi for civil rights'"
And then there'* the decision about to come out on gay
marriage in Hawaii. Does Clinton support it'' No. said
Stephanopoulos. who said the President's objection to
same-sex marriage wa» long-standing The government
shouldn't "endorse or sanction" marriage, he said. But
what about fighting discrimination? What? I can't hear
you!
I am not stupid, but I think I'm supp«.>sed to be. Over
the next year. Clinton and all the other politicians are
going to do everything they can to make you think they're
just as gov>d as vour personal slaves. Whether you're gav
c)r straight, male or female, black or white, you're going to
find politicians telling vou they're going to be at vour beck
and call.
But keep your eyes open. kids. Tune into those press
conterencec. monitor the news, and find out what they're
reallv willing to do for you. ^'ou may be surprised by what
you find

Why is it such a sin for women to love sex?
Not just celebrities, but everyday women. And
why is it that when they admit they like to do
"the dirty deed." two words pop into pet>ple's minds;
whore and nymphomaniac. It isn't right.
Oh. there are a lot of things in this world that aren't
right and are considered a double standard, but this
shouldn't be one of them. Whv' Because like it or not. for
all our puritanical humming and hawing, this is a sex
based society and a hypercritical one ___^^^^___
at that.
As far back as the Scarlet Letter
(the book, not Demi's butchered ver-
sion) women are not suppose to
enjo) sex. It is a no-no and a thing
meant only for procreation, a word
Roman Catholics heard over and
over. There was none of this premar
ital question — it simply wasn't
done
Ah. but it was. mostly by the men
who needed to "sow their wild oats "
What may I ask. are "wild oals^"
And since when did a basic fcvid group Ixcimiu- u Mahlc-
excuse for adultery? The women who did engage in such
licentious behavior got a big fat red A slapped on her
chest and utter scvial degregalion The men got slapped
on the back.
.And these are attitudes that transcend throughout his-
tory During the 'SOs hoola hoops and sock hops ran
rabid. From the movies of the period we see the nice girls
in bobby socks and poi>dle skirts and the bad girls in
leather jackets smoking and wearing red lipstick (there's
that color again).
The nice girl went to a chaperoned dance and the bad
one "did it " in the back seat. We knew thev were doing

fine But society neatly gave those people the convient
name "hippies" and dismissed this brief period of semi
egalitarianism as a fad, a fiing and wild and crazy time.
In order to repent for this lapse into debauchery, soci
ety distanced themselves from sex in the '70s. Disco,
drugs and Vietnam took the place of sex. There was no
emphasis on sex because drugs and war occupied the
national mind.
Of course we gi)t the image of the Asian whores whci

but that was okay because it wasn't
here. \'ou see. they had to do it. so in
a way it was okay. It wasn't happening
in America so they didn't know an>
better.
Question'' What woman (aside
from those iin "lerry Springer") would
willingly sell her biidy to someone if
thev didn't have to? If money (life's
main motivation) didn't dictate that
thev do so? It was so easy for us to
pv^int fingers and act superior.
V\hen the 'KOs arrived images of bad girls were everv
where Madonna, the queen of bad. was a whore who
invited men to think evil thoughts She was a debaser ol
woman and a usurper of gixxl values. She wasn't someone
your mother wanted you to turn into.
But the emphasis was on sex and the selling of sex. For
some reason. America saw nothing wrong with Brooke
and her Calvins. but it was still wrong for women to go
beyond that selling point to exist outside the ad.
Now it is the 'Ws and everyone is supposed to know
better, but we don't. Sex is used to sell everything from
toothpaste to nail p^ilish. Naked women and men grace
more ads than any other image, but the same old sian
dards are there. Heidi Fliess is condemned as a whore and
Hugh Grant, well he messed up. But he> — it's Hugh, and
Elizabeth Hurley still loves him. He was just being a guy
No. I'm sorry, he wasn't.
The double standard is alive and well It is still accept
ed as the norm, and always will in my opinion. There
always will be the division between the Madonna and the
whore. And until society can grant women the power to
be both, women who love sex will forever wear that big
letter A.

Learning about the politics of Ufe
Tara
Ruelle
For the most part. I sense that
politics allude me. I read the
daily newspapers and watch
television, but I'm usually at a loss
confronting and debating the issues
argued over in Congress. There's
nothing better though than arguing
with an alcohol-induced antagonist
armed with a healthy dose of sobriety
and a keen sense to baffle with B S.
I find ii absolutely exhilarating
when someone slightlv
soused picks me as u
political opponent. I
chose the first
weapon. "Medicare
Reforms."
"I like that Newt Gingrich you
know, he has more power over this
country than Hillary does and he's
getting things done." the stranger
challenged.
This was going to be a long night,
my liberal membership card assured
me.
"Oh. so you want to be part of that
liberal media, huh? That Connie
Chung, she sure got hers''" he fired.
Before I could begin my tirade dec-
orated with expletives accompanied
by my flailing flair for sarcasm, he
continued.
"This country's going to divide up
into four separate nations you know?
You want some chicken soup. I'm
going to have some?"
I opted for the chicken fingers and a
change of topics. Two or three poultry
bites later I realized this guy wasn't
intent on antagonizing me anymore,
he just wanted some company.
Our conversation took a drastic
turn as he explained he was a
72-year-old man who recently lost
his wife of 47 years to cancer. I
remembered my grandmother and
her losing battle with
the disease. He said he
felt completely alone
in his house and was
probably going to sell
it. I got down off of
my high horse at that point and ate
Saltine's with this guy who could
very well be my grandfather or father
someday. I even saw a little of myself
refiected off of his reading glasses.
For the next two hours he spoke
about love, loss and what life has in
store for me. Not that I haven't
heard the "these are the best years of
your life" spiel before, but now it
made so much more sense.
Invariably. I was sucked in. I. in
turn, found myself revealing way
more than political views to this man
I hardly knew. My ever-present
one-liners failed me.
We exchanged advice, he told me
what I should or shouldn't take from
a guy, promised that the best of m\
life was yet to arrive. I told him he
didn't have to throw away pictures or
try to erase the memory of his wife to
go on with his life. I also pointed him
to the "Amaretio Sour." which he
decided was a gcxxl "ladies" drink.
Right before he rose from his seat
at the bar he eyed a lady he might like
to meet. Talking to him like he was a
friend I'd known forever I encour-
aged. "Buy her a drink and sit down
with her. what do you have to lose?"
Fifteen or so minutes later they
were getting along famously, he even
managed to get the digits. He
slopped by my seat at the bar before
he left to say. "Thanks for listening to
a fiKilish old man talk, you're a beau-
tiful young lady, gixxl luck Tara." I
put the Sour down he btiught for me.
smiled and said. "Thank you."
My political savvy didn't improve
any thaf night. I didn't really manage
to get any witty comebacks in. 1
talked, listened and made a friend. To
my dismay I may have learned some-
thing. 1 remembered things I had
buried with my grandmother over four
years ago. At 72. maybe I'll be chal

Crichtons new release
dependant on dinosaurs
By Tara MK Connelly
Collegian Staff
MICHAEL CRICHTON
Lost World
Alfred A Knopf
During the Jurassic Park hype,
an article in Rolling Stone stated
that despite all the top notch
actors in the film, it was the
dinosaurs that stole the show.
Well, they're baaaack.
Crichton follows up his bestseller
and smash box office hit. lurassic
Park, with Lost World This latest
novel features a darker, deeper side
to the original. The cast of charac-
ters have been altered slightly with
the story taking off six years afier
the InGen disaster Ian Malcolm,
the pessimistic "Chaos Theory"
professor becomes the bridge
between the two books.
Emotionally bruised and physi-
cally battered. Malcolm hopes to
banish all thoughts of dinosaurs
and things by lecturing in universi-
ties across the natiun on his theory.
It is during one of these lectures
that he is approached by Dr.
Levine. A wily, rich and highly
motivated paleontologist who
insists that dinosaurs exist — again.
It seems that the Costa Rican
government has been finding sev-
eral dino corpses washed onto
their beaches, but in order to fore-
stall any harm to their tourist
business these remnants are
burned and kept secret.
Upon examination of one dino
carcass. LeviiK notices a small tag
imbedded intc> the skin, a tag that
links the body to InGen and the
Jurassic Park fiasco. Malcolm is
asked to help Levine locate the
island that the body and tag has
come from Malcolm agrees and
Levine shoots down to Costa Rica
only to be lost two days after his
arrival to the mysterious isle
Sora.
Of course a rescue and addi-
tional characters are employed to
find the doctor. Among them is
Sarah Htrding a tougher-
than-nails scientist who studies
hyenas in Mrica. Eddie a mechan-
ically-inclined black from the pro-
jects. Dr. Thorne an associate of
Levine. and Arby and Kelly, two
child proteges that Levine and
Thome befriended.
Combined with the latest tech-
nology and equipment the merry
band heads off to find Levine and
discovers a lost world, lurassic
Park was built on the Isle of
Nebula; there visitors were taken
on a tour showing healthy baby
dinosaurs hatched in a spotless lab.
A few problems folks: what arp
the chances of each and every
birth being perfect and what hap-
pened to the Mommy and Daddy
dinosaurs? Who will leach the
baby dinosaurs to live in a totally
new environment? How can social
patterns and behavior be estab-
lished when there is no one to
leach them? And most important-
ly what is there to keep this brand
new world in order?
Of course an adventure
wouldn't be complete without
some bad guys to thwart the good
ones, so a meager cast of one evil
scientist hoping to once again
cash into the dino thing is in luke-
warm pursuit. Throw in a mysteri-
ous disease that is killing the
dinosaurs and a 56 hour limit in
which the world's greatest mys-
tery has to be solved and you get
one mildly interesting book.
However, the action is tepid
and there doesn't seem to be any
function for the children other
than the tact that there were two
children in the first one. It also
seems as if Crichton hopes to keep
a hand on his fans by introducing
ihe same type scenarios under dif-
ferent names. Readers will also
note that nothing really gets
solved at the end with the excep-
tion of the heros and heroines rid-
ing off into the sunset.
Things are predictable, much
like Grisham's books have
become. Lost World is a definite
trip and you may even be caught
in the action, but for now il's safe
to say Crichton is counting on the
dinosaurs and not excellent writ-
ing lo keep him from becoming
extinct. B

AMHERST — On Monday night
Guided By Voices reaffirmed faith in
sloppy, no-holds-barred, anything
goes rock n' roll. After the band left
the small, beer slick stage of the
.Amherst College Front Rcxim a scant
hour later, everyone in the audience
would agree that this was by far one

tet chose to play several songs from
their last two releases Alien Lanes
and Bee Thousand, as well as a
handful from a new album to be

and "Weed King."

way across the stage dodging puddles

ment.
The entire set was played with
intense energy. No sooner had the

audience would yell out another

NOW AND THEN
Directed by Lesli Linko Glotter
with Demi Moore, Rosie O'Donnell,
Melonie Griffith
Phyirtg at Hampshire Six
Now and Then is a long, meander-
ing trip down memory lane for four
estranged friends who reunite for the
first time in several years, and remi-
nisce about the summer of 1970.
Demi Moore (The Scarlet Letter)
produces and stars in this quaint little
film about growing up in a
middle-class, suburban housing
development, called the Gaslight
Addition. Moore plays the despon-
dent Samantha — a chain-smoking,
sci-fi novelist who does little to con-
ceal the fact thai she has no desire to
return to her hometown.
Melanie Griffith is the bubblehead-
cd blonde actress. Tina, who comes
to the reunion in a stretch limousine.
Rosie O'Donnell plays the
slill-tomboyish Roberta, who is a
doctor in town. The gathering site is
the house of the fourth friend.
Chris.sy (Mixed Nuts' Rita Wilson) —
a hokey housewife who wears pink
pajamas and gathers the group in
their childhood treehouse in her
backyard.
The reason for the reunion is never
fully explained, except for the fact
that the girls once clasped hands and
made a pact lo get together whenever
one of them was in need. Apparently,
Chrissy is near the due date of her
pregnancy and she wants her friends'
support (her husband is conveniently
absent for the delivery).
While the plot of the four girl-
friends as adults is rather weak, it is
also mercifully short, making way for
the movie within the movie — the
fiashback.
Narrated by Moore, the flashback
chronicles the summer the year the
girls had their distinctive "coming of
age" experiences, as they rambled
around the humdrum town of
Shelby, Indiana. The childhood
counterparts of the women carry the
weight of the film, and do it wonder-
fully.
Christina Ricci (from The Adda ms
Family and Casper fame) is the
young Roberta (O'Donnell). Ricci
tops her earlier performances and
proves that her acting talents have
matured along with her. Roberta is
the quintessential tomboy; her moth-
er died when she was four, and she
lives with her father and a few
brothers. Her lough attitude is as
believable as her tears, and Ricci
provides the stellar performance of
the film.
Another skilled young actress.

slow as other current genre pieces.
such as How lo Make an American
Ouilt. floflman plays Moore's coun-
terpart, who also has a slew of family
problems of the 1 2 year-old sort.
Now and Then is like a Stand By
Me with girls, but without as much
substance, lust like Will Whealon
and River Phoenix with Ray Brower.
the four girls become mystified with
the death of a local boy that occurred
two generations ago. As they research
his history, visit a psychic and hold a
seance in the graveyard, they create
an adventure to quell their tummei
doldrums.
Now and Then's sentimentality can
become syrupy at times (il has a
Forrest Uump-Ukc soundtrack), but
its morals arc nol thrown in your face
The girls do gossip over trifles such as
boyfriends and breast size, but equal
time is devoted to their coming to
terms with adult issues, like neglect,
divorce and death. Basically, it is
another film about how parents mess
up their childrens' lives B

million poor and elderly households by cutting $1
billion from Low Income Home Energy Assistance
and another $1.2 billion from public housing mod-

How can we cut $500 million from the Clean
Water Act while approving $493 million as a down
pa>nieiil on twenty (20) B-2 stealth bombers that
will finally cost a total of $30- $40 billion? How
can we accuse the poor of welfare fraud when they
only get a total of $67 billion for food stamps and
AI-DC when $40 billion is allocated to fund tax
breaks for the richest one percent, when $98 billion
is allotted for homeowner tax breaks, when $53.5

A Ghettoization of the Original Agenda
Africa. Africans and peoples of African descent
have been historically and are today the most
maligned victims of European education. That is
why in the United States the most vocal and persis-
tent advocates of muhiculturalism and diversit> are
African- American .
The ignorance and the misinformation about
Africa, Africans and peoples of African descent is
vast. It is this ignorance and its promotion that
makes possible the continuing cancer of white
racism. Not a day passes that African-Americans
in the U.S. are not confronted with some expres-
sion or manifestation of white racism. This is at the
heart and soul of the demand for muhiculturalism
and diversity in education. frt>m primary through
University and beyond.
It is a demand for inclusive, comprehensive hon-
esty in tracing and interpreting humankind's jour-
ney from its beginning. It is a warning that without
muhiculturalism and diversity, in theory and in
practice, we are destined to continue down the
road to a tragic race war that, in the fmal analycis,
could spell doom for much of
humankind.
Today, college and university
campuses across the U.S.A. are
awash in debate and heated con
troversy over the issues of diversi
ty and muhiculturalism — the
demand to correct the presence.
the validity, the contributions and the critical per-
spectives of African. Asian. Latino and Native
American cultures and realities.
This debate had it^ ivriginv in the late l%0s. with
the demand by African- American college and uni-
versity students and faculty members for increased
black student enrollment, increased black laculty
and administrator recruilnic'nt. and in depth cur
riculum and textbiKik rcvisiotts to accurately reflect
the African and African-American presence and
contribution to American society. The reply by
establishment academia to the demand thirty years
ago was a subterfuge that made the current contro-
versy inevitable
Unable to justify the continued exclusion and
distortion of the black presence in .America and the
world, and fearful of alliances beginning to develop
between the angry, urban, ghetto spawned, mili-
tant blacks and angry black academics and student
organizations that had sprung up on college and
university campuses across the country, black stud-
ies programs and departments were hastily devel-
oped and instituted On the surface it appeared
that a significant effort hud been made lo mcvt the
demands initiated by black college university stu-
dents But it socm became apparent lo some that
these efforts were progranmied for failure.
Rather than undertaking the in depth revisiim
and correction ol textbcK>ks. syllabi and the rc-orga-
nization of academic disciplines to accurately
reflect the African American and African reality:
rather than significantly increasing black faculty
and administrators on college campuses: rather
than recruiting black students into all departments
and %hcxj|« of institution.* of higher learning ... the
response lo black demands in the late 1960s con-
centrated on creating African- American studies
departments and programs, directed toward the
black student community rather than toward the
academic community as a whole. As a result, these
departments and programs rapidly became ghet-
toes for the black presence on campus, operating
more as select, exclusive clubs than integral parts
of the academic community.
In very much the same vein there followed sub-
David G.
Du Bois
sequently Latino studies, women's studies and.
belatedly. Native American studies programs. This
creation of ethnic- and gender-based departments
and programs included the establishment of
non-classroom cultural and social facilities, in
most cases exclusively for the members of those
communities.
These developments had the effect of diffusing
and weakening the central demand for a funda-
mental restructuring and revision of the content of
the liberal arts disciplines of history, sociology,
anthropology, government, English and languages,
the fine arts and performing arts. They also provid-
ed grit for the mill of those who charged that main-
stream white students were somehow being dis-
criminated against. This was an effect much
desired by those wishing to maintain the white,
male. EuriKentric dooiinaiion of academia.
Eaculties and administrators for these new
departments were recruited from among the most
articulate, vocal, militant leaders and organizers
who had spearheaded both the community and
campus protests Choices were
made in many cases not on acade-
mic merit, proven academic expe-
rience and the existence of a body
of scholarly accomplishment.
Teaching positions were offered to
young blacks and Latinos who
had not prepared for the profes-
sion, but with salaries they could not duplicate out-
side academia. Community and campus organizers
accepted administrative positions in these new pro-
grams and departments without a clue to the intri-
cacies and subtleties of academic administration.
It was thus that both the community and the
campus were stripped of some of their best and
brightest organizers, leaders and spokespersons.
Ni> one could object. Wasn't this what had been
demanded all along: academia's acceptance of and
attention to the "minority" reality rtructiired into
the institution? Many hailed the absence of the
academic traditions of graduate degrees, research,
publication and teaching experience that so many
of these new appointees brought to their positions.
It was just those traditions that were under attack,
they insisted
Generally, the faculty and administration benefi-
ciaries applauded these changes and. following
their lead, students generally celebrated the cre-
ation of these programs and departments, as did
the academic community as a whole — albeit
begrudginglv . For black students there was nnaliy
a recognition of their presence with academic
funds being spent lo facilitate that presence. For
these new black faculty and udn.inistratort there
was new prestige, relatively good salaries and com-
munity status. And thua it was that the seeds of
their own destruction were sown.
Little was done to revi«c or restructure academic
materials and syllabi to more accurately reflect
diversity and multiculturalism. Little was done to
guarantee ethnic faculty representation in univenti-
ty departments other thun in those committed to
ethnic studies. Attempts to increase black. Latino.
Native American and Asian American student
enrollment were in nearly all cases half hearted
and short- lived.
These results made inevitable some thirty yean
later the emergence of the current debate and con-
troversy over diversity and multiculturalism, now
not confined to the university campus, but .sweep-
ing the nation's entire educational system.

Reaffirming Class , Culture and Identity
There is no singular, unambiguous thing called
multiculturalism. That, perhaps, is one of the more
important lessons of a multicultural agenda
Multiculturalism always has and will continue to
mean different things to different people.
Like all six.ial movements, people join or sup-
port or oppose the movement for multiculturalism
for diverse reasons, fhe struggles among suppiirt
crs and between supporters and opponents help to
determine how mulli- culturalism changes and
develops over time — what it actually comes to
mean in our lives. I support multiculturalism. but
in particular ways and for particular reasons.
While I may favor some kinds. 1 would also strong-
ly criticize and oppose others.
We all come from different cultures and many of
those have not been given the
respect, altention and serious
study that they deserve. Our soci-
ety has traditionally ranked some
cultures as superior and thereby
justified treating other cultures as
inferior or altogether unworthy ot
inclusion in schools, artistic insti-
tutions, language, politics and economy. This has
deeply hurt the feelings, careers and personal lives
of countless Americans, while at the same time
depriving our society of the contributions those
Americans could have made
I have twi) major quarrels with some kinds of
multiculturalism. The first concerns what is meant
by the word culture. Nowadays cultures seem to
refer to the racial, ethnic, gender, religious or sex-
ual preference communities to which one believes
one belongs to. But that strikes me as too narrow
a notion of culture. What about the cultures of
class: of those who produce the profits and those
who get them, of factory or office workers, of
part time workers, and of agricultural labor?
What about the student, elderly, artistic, regional
or bureaucratic cultures which likewise help to
shape who we are?
The word culture is related to the word identity.
My identity emerges from the culture in which 1
live and grow. But here lies the problem: I live and
grow in multiple cultures all my life; moreover,
these cultures are shifting and changing all the
time. Individuals do not have one culture or one
identity — they always live in multiple, ever chang-
ing cultural identities. If it is wrong and destructive
for a society to repress and deny its multiple cul-
tures —as I thfaik it is— then it strikes me as equal
Richard D.
Wolff
ly dangerous for an individual to deny the com-
plexity of his or her multiple and sometimes con-
tradictory cultural identities.
This means that a multicultural curriculum 1
would support ought to give respect, attention and
inclusion lo the unique cultural conditions, per-
spectives and contributions that emerge from, for
example, the numerically huge communities (cul-
tures) of factory workers or office workers or wel-
fare recipients in the United States, It also means
thai I have to ask tough questions about why the
established multiculturalism advocates have rarely
included these cultures, but have instead fcKused
so overwhelmingly on ethnic, racial, gender and
sexual preference cultures. Who benefits from this
lopsided fcKus? In a time of terrible downsizing of
public services, of working fami-
lies' incomes and of career oppor-
tunities, the stress on our identi-
ties in racial-gender-sexual terms
helps to obscure and repress our
identities as members of. for
example, classes under attack.
This brings me to my seccmd
problem with some forms of multiculturalism. Like
all movements begun from below by excluded
groups demanding fully justified social change,
their growth can sometimes be used by their ene-
mies for very different purposes. For example, big
businesses have disguised their attacks on unions
and employees' job security and benefits by
describing them as aimed tO "help women and
minorities."
Administrations of universities have disguised
their decisions to favor some departments over
others or to weaken faculty and student rights and
organizations by clothing their actions In the lan-
guage of multiculturalism. Politicians contimie to
advocate lowering the minimum wage in the
United States on the grounds of their deep com-
mitment to providing more jobs for minotily
youth.
It is surely not multiculturalism's fault that its
enemies seek lo use it for their own advantage. To
avoid that happening, however, it must open itself
lo rc-spcct the whole, large range of communities
(cultures) that exist in our society. A multicultural-
ism 1 want to support is one that works hard not to
allow its enemies to play off some of the excluded
or marginalized cultures against the others.

Takes pride in its
These pact few years "multi -culturalism" and
its attendant spirit "cultural diversity." though
greatly under attack, have wondered freely in the
land.
On the one hand, they trickle off the tongues
(and word processors) of university trustees,
presidents and their civility gurus Nor are they
strangers to forward-looking buieaucrats and
well-intentioned intellectuals where they are
equated with enrichment, tolerance, respect, sen-
sitivity, progress, understanding and brotherhcHxl

They leap from the

On the other hand, you'll never hear these
mantras from the lips of. say. a )ohn Silber of
Boston UnKersity. nor from the growing army of
cultural road warriors and the professional
racists of the right, the Dinish D'Souzas of this
world. They know that America is a ChrL'^tian
country, has the finest culture, exercises the high-
est level of political morality in the world and has
a perfectly serviceable language, thank you very
much.
One country under God. who. of course,
speaks and prefers English. Enough of this bi-Kn-
gual shit, therefore. Enough, also, of primitive
alien religious and clearly inferior peasant cul-
tures. Remember what made America —
America, strong, free and victorious in the Co'.d
War (Vietnam may conveniently be forgotten).
Of course we may continue to let the huddled
masses come, if they really must. But fewer, and

A Chancellors Perspective:
Open Doors y Minds and Systems
In expressing my view of a multi-
cultural organization, let tnc begin
with a parable. I grew up on a small
island, isolated in the North Sea off
the coast of Scotland, some four
miles long and two miles wide, with a
population of 100 people. On that
island people looked alike, thought
alike, worked
alike, played
alike and
earned alike.
And over time.
it began to lose
its vitality.
The popula-
tion dropped, reaching the critical
level of 30 about 20 years ago (below
50 people, an isolated community
cannot sustain itself, lacking the criti-
cal mass to provide the necessary
administrative and governance sup-
port structures). Then "outsiders"
began to come to the island —people
looking for a simplei. more idyllic
life, freeing themselves of the "rat
race" of the city, and seeking the very
lifestyle that many of the younger
people on the island were trying to
escape. People came from different
cultures, from different countries.
For a time, there was a school
teacher from as far afield as lapan.
They brought new ideas, they chal-
lengcxj traditions and preconceptions,
some of which had existed more or
less intact for a thousand years: they
infiltrated themselves in the councils
and committees of the island gover-
nance system. As a result, the old
ways are beginning to change. Ideas
clash, tensions run high. Some see
tihe evolution as the disintegration of
an important way of life, while others
see the possibilities for a new and
better community, replacing one
which was stagnating.
Five years ago, I visited the island
at Christmas. As usual, the school
ctdldren (all seven of them!) staged
the traditional Christmas concert.
■which for more than a century had
Included the canonical nativity plan.
But, that year, under the influence of
a school teacher from lapan, the chil-
dren presented an analogous story
from Japanese culture. For many, this
change triggered anger, criticism and
sadness. Yet almost the entire island
community attended, and the play
was debated for weeks afterwards.
The newcomers challenged a
1,000-year-old Island tradition of
marking the cars of sheep at birth

the island is once again a more vibriint

have not yet reached —thai of an
open system. The entire organization

open, supportive environment, he

be authentic in the response to issue-

The third phase is the most difficull
to manage, but is also the most
rewarding to the community In
reaching a truly open system, 1 believe
we will move beyond the temporary
fragmentation of multiculturalism
towards a transcultural communils
wherein many different cultures are
valued and preserved, where we leant
about cultures other than our own.

"Multiculturalism" is an elite Kurocentric term
contrived to provide an alternate focus on a waiting
list in order to keep such elites from addressing the
issues of classism and racism.
The issues of control and the hierarchical power
structure in American society still falls under the
determination of white corporate America. Hven the
scope of "black/white relations-
is defined by the initial promoters
of multiculturalism.
Poor and immigrant whites are
members of America at large who
for centuries have been duped
into believing that people of color
were the objects to be used (slave
labor, migrant workers. Indian
fur trade, railroad builders, etc.) for them to become
members of the elite. A small percentage of them
were allowed to become the sub-elite and upper (and
lower) middle class — in order to keep the
'American Dream" alive. However, it is still a fact
that America is still politically controlled b> direct
descendants of the first American elite families.
Today, they are told (hat people of color are the
obstacle that prevents them from gaining entrance
into the top (and they firmly belie\e this).
America's top ^lite abandoned "culture" long linie
ago — they gave it up for power The American
Dream was structured so thai those who chase it,
must be willing to put aside one's culture and active-
ly suppress all cultures. Culture is built upon codes
of clhlcs and moral precepts. Strip an individual of
cultural identity and you also strip away spiritual
awareness and human compassion Without these
elements, it is possible to direct people to commit
acts of genocide against people they do not know
(and do not care to know), to incorporate racLsm or
plunder the environment and commit acts of
self-hatred and horizontal racism.
Despite the multitude of crimes committed against
people of color and all poor people, aspixts of culture
have nonetheless survived. Now elite America has
found a way to capitalize on culture
and maintain a pretense to the
courts c)f international law that it is
attempting to clean up its act by
pronKiting multiculturalism.
While injecting multicultural-
ism into the education .system, we
see the flow of political correct-
ness through the veins of main-
stream academia. The use of such "pc" terminology-
serves many purposes. It allows the bigots to still
harbor bigotry in their heart* and actions So long as
they do not u.se the ~[>-word." or do ih>i call you a
savage, then they have not really committed any
crime. If they occasionally slip and use the bad
words, they can hide behind the first amendment
These terms also allow those who are the objects of
bigotry to delude themselves into believing that
things are improving ("they do not call me gook, nig-
ger, reddexil. anymore").
Multicultural conversations are passive discussions
that remind me of confessior^jrfs Because one verbally
acknowledges another cuiiurally. one can ih)w remove
oneself fnnn the guilt one sht>uld have if one fat still
benefiting from an act of genocide committed by any
member of one's ancestral or racial group against that
culture. Since one is free of guilt, one is free of shame
and of the need to have learned from the experieiKe.
Instead of passive dialogue, we as a nation should
be actively engaging in honest, active communicallon
about resptvt of cultural differences. We should be
addressing the issues of racism, religious and spiritu
al differences, the role of privilege and the seeking of
that privilege in American and world history, the
complexities of interactions between indigenous
world and go\emmental \iews and learning how to
agree to disagree.
Students at UMass are not allowed the adequate
time and space to engage in active coiiuiuinicalion and
active learning about themselves and each other: iK>r is

It should be remembered that members of the
ALANA communities are of man) different cultures,
religions and spiritual backgriHJnds. We did nol vol-
unteer to become targets of bigotry, religious intoler-
aiKe and acts of genocide.

■ On Intercultural artificiliasm
The effects of colonialism, that is. while domi-
nance, which also includes slavery, genocide, and
multiculturalism. have been passed on lo the
so-called minorities of America. Our ethnic cul-
tures — our traditions and beliefs — have been
altered to satisfy Western tastes. It was not until
the civil rights movement of the l%Os that sub
■tantial attempts were made al
recognizing white dominance
And it was not until fairly
recently that the social con-
struction of mulli culturalism
had become as prevalent as it
is.
As a aocial construction.
multictJturalism seeks to give the semblance that
all the factors that make up equality are present in
today's world, when in actuality, many pitxes are
not present — and never will be. These pieces of
equality include self-determination, respect for
cultures, lifestyles etc. Multiculturalism has bcvn
referred to as "the politics of recognition" by stmie
sociologists and political thei>rists According to
this theory, one could conclude that minorities
have a potentially low level of self esteem and
seek acceptance from the dominant, white culture.
Multiculturalism also allows people to forget that
most of modem history has been characterized by
the appropriation of certain cultures by the
Western world.
In practice, multiculturalism is an ideal: polc"n-
rial harmony among races It includes socio^cul-
tural organizoilions and support groups for minori-
IV students It ignores the fundamental root of the
problem: racism in our coun-
try. Multiculturalism glorifies
diversity but fails to see that
the reason for this ncxd to glo-
rify is because uf what was
done 10 cultures in the past.
Through this process, we can
see that multiculturalism is
dictated by the majority who has the power to rec
ognize or ignore the minority. Therefore, even in
practice. min<.)rities are forced to seek recognition
from others.
No one can deny our basic human need for
recognition and respect for who we are and what
we value. But when cries lo justify our cuhureii are
not given a response from those who hold the
fKiwcr to do so. alternative directions are sougN

A positive first step, but . . . what after?
Although the term multiculturalism could take
on various meanings. I feel it basically breaks
down to Ihe survival of many cultures or ethnic
groups as separate entities. .Multi culturalism
favors a social climate in which cultural distjnc
tiveness does not restrict serial participation. It is.
therefore, an essential freedom. But a freedom for
whom?
As with every situation, mul-
ticulturalism creates both posl-
tivity and negativity. Pros of
multiculturalism include the
fact that people are able to
respect heritage and diverse
ethnicities. Multiculturalism
also preserves ethnic groups
and benefits society as a whole because each cu
ture is able lo make a valuable contribution to
society. This would be similar to the melting p<ii
effect where there is a blending of different groups
who affect each other. However, unlike this phe-
nomenon, in a multicultural society each group is
able to maintain its distinct identity.
The n^ative side to muiiiculturallsm is that for
one. it seems to suppress individuality. Also, histo-
ry has taught us thai there is always a need for one
culture to oppress and dominate others. An exam-
ple of this would be the Anglo- Saxons who have
historically dominated and forced their culture on
not only the Native Americans, but also on just
about every other minority group as well.
This, as we know, creates a lot of racial ten-
sions, suppressed feelings, and prejudices. It is
obvious that multiculturalism cannot exist when
there is so much bigotry and self-denial on the
part of white America I feel thai it is inherently
rooted in the minds of white
Americans that feel they are by
far more superior than other
races.
With diversity on the rise
throughout the United States.
It seems to have created a lot
more awareness of different
ethnic groups. In a classroom setting, teachers and
professors have to be more careful with their liter-
ature. They have to be careful not to stereotype or
say things which would offend any pmicular race.
This could ptove very stressful for thoae who have
to conceal their true racist or prejudiced outlooks.
Presently, we are able to observe how difficult it is
for a multicultural community to exist politically.
This stems from the mere fact of one culture (whites)
being able to dominate the major political positions
or controlling powers. It is Important to remember

First priority: a call for deeper cognizance
The reaiizalion of the history, culture and customs
of many pet>ple who have created this country, who
have often given more for its evolution than we care
to acknowtedge. alongside the movements for a more
peaceful, just and equal society — all are crucial In
understanding what constitutes multiculturalism.
For me multiculturalism Is many things, but I am
compelled to explain what If is
not. Multiculturalism Is not a
conspiracy against white males
In society. Contrary to their
beliefs, the "angry white males"
of this country perceive multi-
culturalism as a move to subvert
their culture and history — this
could not be further from the
truth. This unwarranted fear of the idea that mulli
culturalism is a reaction to what they see might be
a backlash to what they have done to others for
hundreds of years.
Multiculturalism is nol a movement to rot away at
the quality of American work ethic, or its education-
al and artistic institutions. If we have institutions
that serve few at the expense of many, we should be

A On-Going Saga:
Toward Forming
Real Racial Dialogue
An issue that has crippk;d our society for at least
three centuries, race relations in America has bcvn
brought to the national attention once again in the
form of the general public's reactions ui the trial and
verdict in the 0.|. Simpson double murder case lust
13 days after the verdict, more than one million
black and brown men matched on the nation's capi-
tal to bring attention to Ihe conditions that many of
them face in today's siKJely, These are two events
thai clearly remind us that race relatione are in des-
perate need of attention
One would have thought the national dialogue on
race relations would have commenced in eariK'sl fol-

King, the nation watched as one of its larger cities
went up in flames Back then, there were calls for
dialogue between blacks and whites. There were calls
then just as there are calls now for a "commission" lo
study the issues of race relations.
There are calls for healing, for more understand-
ing While I share the view that more dialogue is
needc-d. I am very cynical about whether the dialogue
will actually occur on the national level and/or
whether it will be sustained until some meaningful
change occurs in the society Be that as ii may. I am
of the view that all politics are local Here al UMass.
I do believe it is pt)ssible for us lo have a dialogue
about these very complex issues.
We have, after all. had our share of racial conflicts:
from the Mills House take over In 1472 (which
resulted in the creation of the New Africa House) to
Ihe Southwest riots following the I48(:) World .Series,
lo Ihe more recent case of the African American male
resident assistant who was assaulted and called racial
epithets by a non student.
It is important for us to really and truly establish a
dialogue between and amongst the many communl
ties of people that make up this campus We need to
sustain Ihe discourse until we have quantifiable,
demonstrable change in the quality of all of our lives.
I believe it must happen on many levels and in many
ways.
One of the many conversations we need lo have is
about the buzz words we like lo throw around, such
as "multicultural" and "diversity." terms that in some
way symbolize the "dialogue" Americans engage in
everyday. They gel used so frequently, one would
think that we could all agree on what they mean -
but I'm nol sure that we can. How do we deal with
the fact that our race relations are In need of scime
attention? Currently, we throw around these terms,

It is interesting to think about multkulturali.sm in a
thne when things increasingly seem to be articulated in
terms of black and white. Tbus my crwn identity as a
multiculturalisl — meaning one who is interested in
and embraces many or a multitude of cultures, cultural
products and cultural perspectives is under assault.
And although ihe hostility to multiple perspectives is
depressing. I am reassured by the reality that there is
no going back to a world of only black and white, no
matter how comforting that may be to some. We live in
a world of many cok»rs, voices, classes, gerwlers. It is
too late to stem the tide — we canrMi hide in our own
Mpnrate, univocal worlds.

WHAT IS MULTICULTURALISM?
The topic of multiadturaiism and ethnic diversity lays at the very heart of America, It should come as rw surprise, then, that UMass, an alleged multicultural imtiiution, has produced many voices that have dared to share their vievus with the public. The debate is not over, and the following pieces are merely an example of this.
"Action Alert: That*s Not
What We Meant By A
More Perfect Union
»>
I inU- Sum: \Vc really thought that multicultural-
ism was going to shut them up this time, but it looks
like more non- while people are starting to wake
up. Some have started working again to eradicate
white vupremacy and dismantle the structural basis
of our white privilege.
Cultural tliifs: lust what do you think that
means?
Corporaie Elite!,: We won't know for sure until
reports come back from the studies we've commis-
sioned, but we can say that it certainly wouldn't be
good for business or for our standard of living
Progressives: You corporations could derail their
effort by escalating your promi.ses to clean up the
environment. It worked real well when you decided
to sponsor "Earth Day" and the media is always
happy to feature your efforts to eradicate pollution.
I ncle Sum: It could be an ecology focus: or. we
could Hnally send troops into Bosnia, just in time to
affect election outcomes.
Li-gisliitite Elites: Some of us think it would be
smart to establish
\el another
Commission on
Riue Rfluliuns.
That kind of thing
would be good for
public relations,
you know.
Especially alter the O |. verdict and this Million
Man March which cut across class, nationalities,
religious affiliations and even sexualities.
Lihfrah: Gn-ai idea! If you do that, then we can
su\ that we really do want a whole nation with a
truly inlegratcxl siKiety Meanwhile, some of us can
create a really effecti\e diversion by shouting. "They
are the real racists!" and point our finger at
Klansmen and neo-Nazis.
While Supremacist: We don't like it when you
always make us the "fall guy" as if you don't reap
more while privilege than we do. But we'll go
along with this new plan for a while longer, just to
see if you really do mean to share mure of the
wealth with us this time. But don't forget: we can
find new ways lo terrorize you if you let us down
once more.
Military Elites: This sounds like a fine plan. It
ought to keep non-whites in check for a while
longer, but do be assured: we won't take any
chances We will escalate daily control We \«nll
beef up the local police and their ability to con-
duct routine sweeps by sharing our new tactics of
electronic surveillance That will enhance their
containment efforts and facilitate our cKcupation
of local non-white neighborhoods, wherever pos-
sible.
Cultural Elites: We will re -enforce our preference
for a "select few" approach to multiculturalism and
present ii as the most attractive alternative lo bed-
lam, if we keep on hyper-privileging some minori-
ties over others and promoting only those
non-white views which pose no real threat to our
position, then perhaps this recent onslaught will
blow over soon enough.
Uncle Sam: So, we're all agreed?
Most Present. Yes!!
Race Traitors: Wail a minute! if we all agree that
quick, we would be missing out on an opportunity
for our own atonement. Things might really lum
around in this country if we confessed and kK)k full
re-'ponsibilily for ihe privileges vw've reaped from
genocide, slavery and our on-going subtle methods
of routine racial oppression.
So. why don'l we go ahead aitd dismantle white
privilege'.' If we did decide to redistribute the wealth
more equiuibly. il would certainly benefit more
whiles than non whiles. How can we justify cutting
$■578 million from dislocated worker assistance
when layoffs have iiKreased. while at the same time
allocating $374 million lo fund the Pentagon's
request for "Star Wars" national missile defense
research? How can we provide $2.2 billion lo devel-
op the r 22 fighter jet while undermining oxer 5
million poor ami elderly households by cutting $ 1
billion from Low Income Home Energy Assistance
and another SI. 2 billion from public housing mod-
ernization?
How can we cut $500 million from the Clean
Water Act while approving $445 million as a down
paynieni on twenty (20) B-2 stealth bombers that
will finally com a total of $30- $40 billion? How
can we accuse the poor of welfare fraud when they
only pet a total of $67 billion for food stamps and
AEDC when $40 billion is allocated to fund lax
breaks for the richest one percent, when $98 billion
is allotted for homeowner tax breaks, when $53.5
billion is set aside for corporaie tax breaks and
when $51 billion in subsidies is spent lo bail out our
corporations? Thais an obscene total of $242.3 bil-
lion for many of us and il seems that we can afford
to make amends, pay reparations, design a budget
that meels the needs of all people in the nation, and
still come out ahead
[L^ng Silence)
Military Elite: llunim. Yes, well, it'js clear where
you are trying to lake us and you better decide if
you really want to push us that far. In fact, we for-
got to report ihal we arc still keeping under surveil-
lance those few whiles who periodically seem lo
forget what we always meant by a more perfect
union.

A Ghettoization of the Original Agenda
Africa. Africans and peoples of African descent
have been historically and are today the most
maligned victims of European education. That Is
why in the United States the most vocal and persis-
tent advocates of multiculturalism and diversity are
African- American .
The ignorance and the misinformation about
Africa. Africans and peoples of African descent is
vast. It is this ignorance and its promotion that
makes possible the continuing cancer of white
racism. Not a day passes that African-Americans
in the U.S. are not confronted with some expres-
sion or manifestation of white racism. This is at the
heart and soul of the demand for multiculturalism
and diversity in education, from primary through
University and beyond
It is a demand for inclusive, comprehensive hon-
esty in tracing and interpreting humankind's jour-
ney from its beginning. It is a warning that without
multiculturalism and diversity, in theory and in
practice, we are destined to continue down the
road to a tragic race war that, in the Tinal analysis,
could spell doom for much of
humankind.
Today, college and university
campuses across the U.S.A. are
awash in debate and heated con-
troversy over the issues of diversi-
ty and multiculturalism — the
demand to correct the presence,
the validity, the contributions and the critical per-
spectives of African. Asian. Latino and Native
American cultures and realities.
This debate had ils origins in the late I *^0s. with
tile demand by Africarv-American college and uni-
versity students and faculty members for increased
black student enrollment, increased black faculty
and administrator recruilmeni. and in depth cur
riculum and tcMb<.K)k rc-visions to accurately reflect
the African and African-American presence and
contribution to .American society. Thv* reply by
establishment academia \o the demand thirty years
ago was a subterfuge that made the current contro-
versy inevitable
Unable to justify the continued exclusion and
distortion of the black presence in America and the
woHd. and fearful of alliances beginning to develop
between the angry, urban, ghetto spawned, mili-
tant blacks and angry black academics and student
organizations that had sprung up on college and
university campuses across the country, black stud-
ies programs and departments were hastily devel-
oped and instituted On the surface it appeared
that a significant effort had been made to meet the
demands initiated by black college university stu
dents But it soon became apparent lo some that
these efforts were programmed for failure.
Rather than undertaking the in depth revision
and correction of textbooks, syllabi and the rctirga-
nization of academic disciplines to accurately
reflect the African American and African reality;
rather than significantly increasing black faculty
and administrators on college campuses: rather
than recruiting black students into all departments
and schools of institutions of higher learning ... the
response lo black demands in the late 1460s con-
centrated on creating African-American studies
departments and programs, directed toward the
black student community rather than toward the
academic community a.v a whole. As a result, these
departments and programs rapidly became ghel
toes for the black presence on campus, operating
more as select, exclusive clubs than integral parts
of the academic community.
In very much the .sanie vein there followed sub-
David G.
Du Bois
sequently Latino studies, women's studies and.
belatedly. Native American studies programs. This
creation of ethnic- and gender-based departments
and programs included the establishment of
non-classruoni cultural and social facilities, in
most cases exclusively for the members of those
communities.
These developments had the effect of diffusing
and weakening the central demand for a funda-
mental restructuring and revision of the content of
the liberal arts disciplines of history, sociology,
anthropology, government, English and languages,
the fine arts and performing arts. They also provid-
ed grit for the mill of those who charged that main-
stream white students were somehow being dis-
criminated against. This was an effect much
desired by those wishing to maintain the white,
male. EurcKentric duoiinaiion of academia.
Faculties and administrators for these new
departments were recruited from among the most
articulate, vocal, militant leaders and organizers
who had spearheaded both the community and
campus protests. Choices were
made in many cases not on acade-
mic merit, proven academic expe-
rience and the existence of a body
of scholarly accomplishment.
Teaching positions were offered lo
young blacks and Latinos who
had not prepared for the profes-
sion, but with salaries they could not duplicate out-
side academia. Community and campus organizers
accepted administrative positions in these new pa>-
grams and departments without a clue to the intri-
cacies and subtleties of academic administration.
It was thus that both the community and the
campus were stripped of some of their best and
brightest organizers, leaders and spokespersons.
No one could object. Wasn't this what had been
demanded all along: academia's acceptance of and
attention lo the "minority" reality structured into
the institution? Many hailed the absence of the
academic traditions of graduate degrees, re.search,
publication and leaching experience that so many
of these new appointees brought to their positions.
It was just those traditions that were under attack,
ihey insisted.
Generally, the faculty and administration benefi-
ciaries applauded these changes and. following
their lead, students generally celebrated the cre-
ation of these programs and departments, as did
the academic community as a whole — albeit
begrudgingly For black students there was finally
a recognition of their presence with academic
funds bc'ing spent to facilitate that presence. For
these new black faculty and administrators there
was new prestige, relatively good salaries and com-
munity status. And thus it was that the seeds of
their own destruction were sown.
Little wis done to revile or restructure academic
materials and syllabi to more accurately reflect
diversity and multiculturalism. Little was done to
guarantee ethnic faculty representation in universi-
ty departnic-nts other than in those committed to
ethnic studies. Attempts to increase black. Latino.
Native American and Asian American student
enrollment were in nearly all cases half-hearted
and short- lived.
These results made inevitable some thirty yean
later the emergence of the current debate and con-
troversy over diversity and multiculturalism. now
not confinc-d to the university campus, but sweep-
ing the nation's entire educational system.

Where Ignorant Armies Clash By Night
Reaffirming Class , Culture and Identity
There is no singular, unambiguous thing called
multiculturalism. That, perhaps, is one of the more
important lessons of a multicultural agenda.
Multiculturalism always has and will continue to
mean different things to different people.
Like all social movements, people join or sup-
port or oppose the movement for multiculturalism
for diverse reasons. The struggles among support-
ers and between supporters and opponents help lo
determine how multi culturalism changes and
develops over lime — what il actually comes to
mean in our lives. I support multiculturalism. but
in particular ways and for particular reasons.
While I may favor some kinds. I would also strong-
ly criticize and oppose others.
We all come from different cultures and many of
those have not been given the
respect, attention and serious
study that they deserve. Our soci
ety has traditionally ranked some
cultures as superior and thereby
justified treating other cultures as
inferior or altogether unworthy of
inclusion in schools, artistic insti-
tutions, language, politics and cnx)nomy. This has
deeply hurt the feelings, careers and personal lives
of countless Americans, while at the same time
depriving our society of the contributions those
Americans could have made.
I have two major quarrels with some kinds of
multiculluralisni. TTie first concerns what is meant
by the word culture. Nowadays cultures seem to
refer to the racial, ethnic, gender, religious or sex-
ual preference conununities to which one believes
one belongs to. But that strikes me as too narrow
a notion of culture. What about the cultures of
class: of those who pri)duce the profits and those
who get them, of factory or office workers, of
part-time workers, and of agricultural labor?
What about the student, elderly, artistic, regional
or bureaucratic cultures which likewi.se help to
shape who we are?
The word culture is related to the word identity.
My identity emerges from the culture in which I
live and grow. But here lies the problem: I live and
grow in multiple cultures all my life: moreover.
these cultures arc shifting and changing all the
time. Individuals do not have one culture or one
identity — they always live in multiple, ever chang-
ing cultural identities. If it is wrong and destructive
for a society to repress and deny its multiple cul-
tures — as I think it is — then it strikes me as equal-
Richard D.
Wolff
ly dangerous for an individual to deny the com-
plexity of his or her multiple and sometimes con-
tradictory cultural identities.
This means that a multicultural curriculum I
would support ought to give respect, attention and
inclusion lo the unique cultural conditions, per-
spectives and contributions that emerge from, for
example, the numerically huge communities (cul-
tures) of factory workers or office workers or wel-
fare recipients in the United States. It also means
that I have to ask tough questions about why the
established multiculturalism advocates have rarely
included these cultures, but have instead focused
so overwhelmingly on ethnic, racial, gender and
sexual preference '-ultures. Who benefits from this
lopsided fcKus? In a time of terrible downsizing of
public services, of working fami-
lies' incomes and of career oppor-
tunities, the stress on our identi-
ties in racial-gender-sexual terms
helps to obscure and repress our
identities as members of. for
example, classes under attack.
This brings me to my second
problem with some forms of multiculturalism. Like
all movements begun from below by excluded
groups demanding fully justified social change,
their growth can sometimes be used by their ene-
mies for very different purposes. For example, big
businesses have disguised their attacks on unions
and employees' job security and benefits by
describing them as aimed to "help women and
minorities."
Administrations of universities have disguised
their decisions to favor some departments over
others or to weaken faculty and student rights and
organizations by clothing their actions In the lan-
guage of multiculturalism. Politicians contimie to
advocate lowering the minimum wage in the
United Slates on the grounds of their deep com-
mitment to providing more jobs for minority
youth.
It is surely not multiculturalism's fault that its
enemies seek to use it for their own advantage. To
avoid that happening, however, it must open itself
lo rc'spcct the whole, large range of communities
(cultures) that exist in our society. A multicultural-
ism I want to support is one that works hard not to
allow its enemies to play off some of the excluded
or marginalized cultures against the others.

These past few years "multi-culturalism" and
its attendant spirit "cultural diversity." though
greatly under attack, have wondered freely in the
land.
On the one hand, they trickle off the tongues
(and word processors) of university trustees,
presidents and their civility gurus Nor arc they
strangers to forward-looking buteaucrats and
well-intentioned intellectuals where they are
equated with enrichment, tolerance, respect, sen-
sitivity, progress, understanding and brotherhcxxl
(of man under the fatherhood of God).
Multi-culturalism and/or diversity are the stat-
ed goals of planning: they drive policy Seminars
are committed, courses created, policies
announced and pious
intentions pledged to
their achievement
They leap from the
pages of recruitment
brochures. They are
good in themselves.
The university, school,
college "seeks a
multi-cultural environment ... Takes pridr in its
cultural diversity ..."
On the other hand, you'll never hear these
mantras from the lips of, say. a |ohn Silber of
Boston UnKersity. nor from the growing army of
cultural road warriors and the professional
racists of the right, the Dinish D'Souzas of this
world. They know that America is a Christian
country, has the finest culture, exercises the high-
est level of political morality in the world and has
a perfectly serviceable language, thank you very
much
One country under God, who. of course,
speaks and prefers English. Enough of this hi lin-
gual shit, therefore. Enough, also, of primitive
alien religious and clearly inferior peasant cul-
tures. Remember what made America —
America, strong, free and victorious in the Co'.d
War (Vietnam may conveniently be forgotten).
Of course we may continue to let the huddk-d
masses come, if they really must. But fewer, and
more selectively. And once here, let them become
AnierKans. Let them read the Constitution, learr,
the Pledge of Allegiance and study the classics —
those great, timeless books representing the
canon of the best that man has thooght and nrit-
ten, European man. that is — forget this foolish
prating about the rich variety of human experi-
ence.

Peeking Behind The Multicultural Curtain
A Chancellors Perspective:
Open Doors, Minds and Systems
On Ideological Honesty
In expressing my view of a multi-
cultural organizjiiion, let mc begin
with a parable. I grew up on a small
island, isolated in the North Sea off
the coast of Scotland, acme four
miles lung and two miles wide, with a
population of 100 people. On that
island people looked alike, thought
alike, worked
alike, played
alike and
earned alike.
And over time,
it began to lose
its vitality.
The popula-
tion dropped, reaching the critical
level of 50 about 20 years ago (below
50 people, an isolated community
cannot sustain itself, lacking the criti-
cal mass to provide the necessary
administrative and governance sup-
port structures). Then "outsiders"
began to come to the island — people
looking for a simpler, more idyllic
life, freeing themselves of the "rat
race" of the city, and seeking the verv
lifestyle that many of the younger
people on the island were trying to
escape. People came from different
cultures, from different countries.
For a time, there was a school
teacher from as far afield as lapan.
They brought new ideas, they chal-
lenged traditions and preconceptions,
some of which had existed more or
less intact for a thou.sand years; they
infiltrated themselves in the councils
and committees of the island gover-
nance system. As a result, the old
ways are beginning to change. Ideas
clash, tensions run high. Some see
the evolution as the disntegratk>n of
an important way of life, while others
see the possibilities for a new and
better community, replacing one
which was Stagnating.
Five years ago, I visited the island
at Christmas. As usual, the school
chiMren (all seven of them!) staged
the traditional Christmas concert,
which for more than a century had
included the canonical nativity plan.
But. that year, under the influence of
a school teacher from japan, the chil-
dren presented an analogous story
from lapanese culture. For many, this
change triggered anger, criticism and
sadness. Yet almost the entire island
community attended, and the play
was debated for weeks afterwards.
The newcomers challenged a
1 ,000-ycar-old island tradition of
marking the ears of sheep at birth
wttj intricate patterns identifying the
farm owner — a practice brought by
Chancellor
David K. Scott
the Vikings in »00 AD. But the new
comers said — rightly so — thai this
constituted a cruel and inhuinane
process. While some continue lo
mourn the loss of N'iking culture, olh
ers see the convenience of modem
technology. The debate has highlight-
ed the fad that many hallowed cul
tural tradi
lions were
merely born
of necessity to
begin with.
The island
is becoming .1
multicullur.il
community. Then; are now clashes i<(
opinion, intellectual difference-
changes in culture and tradition. But
the island is once again a more vibrant
place. People have become active
renc-wdng old traditions of singing ami
dancing to counter the new entertain
meni of the "outsiders." The island i-
no longer dying.
This story is a microcosm of the
struggle to become a multicultural
communitv in the much more com
plex environment of the Universiu
In both cases, there are three phases
First, there is the phase of open
doors, when hitherto excluded voice-
are brought into the organization In
the University and in my island this
phase bi-gan in the sixties. There lol
lows the phase of open minds, when
new ideas and approaches to scholar
ship are incorporated. The island and
the University have become enriched
with open minds during the last ivv.-
decades.
Finally, there is the third phase,
which the University and the island
have nut yet reached —thai of an
open system. The entire organization
must be genuinely committed to ihc
diverse representation of its member
ship, be .sensitive to maintaining an
open, supportive environment, be
evolving towards and purposivelv
including elements of different cul
lures in its on-going operations, and
be authentic in the response to issues
confronting the organization.
The third phase is the most difficult
to manage, but is also the most
rewarding to the community. In
reaching a truly open system. I bc-lievc
we will move beyond the temporary
fragmentation of multiculluralisni
towards a transcultural community
wherein many different cultures are
valued and preserved, where we learn
about cultures other than our own.

Multiculturalism offers varying
atiiactions.
To st>mc. it pa-sents itself as a means
of maintaining or expanding a certain
degrcv of scvial cohesion in the nation-
al interest, as Ri>ss Peart puts it, "All us
Americans gotta be on the same team if
we re gonna win the game." In this
sense it is a quintessential reformist
strategy, tinkering with the status quo
in order to ensure ils
survival.
To others, it pre
sents itself as an alter
native approach for
relating lo the domi-
nant culture, as
opp(>sed to traditional
modes of assimilation. On occasion,
Afrocentric discourse and the flourish-
ing of the Spanish language both hint
at a kind of "multiculturalism" that
^iiuld begin to challenge core realities
m the United Stales.
But. all tiKi often, the multicultural
agenda simply plays out as a neurotic
fetish, an exoticized. anlhropolo-
gized. ethnic bazaar through which
non- white groups can seek a kind of
validation from whites, and where
whites can (eel smugly c»pei>-minded
and relieved of guilt.
Multiculturalism as it typically opcr-
atc's is entirely damaging in as much as
it excludes or even delegitimates oppo-
sitional ideology and serious analysis.
This kind of multicultural agenda
plays into the worst aspects of the lat-
est and most effective brand of racism
in this country, by training Americans

lughly postmodern in their racism,
and by creating diversions.
"Sensitivity training workshops"

tudes about "hierarchies of opprcs-

cho-pathology, akin to a phobia,
compulsion, or obsession, never dar-
ing to utter the name of the great psy-
-liologisl of structural and group
lacism, Frantz Fanon.
Pix-posierous exeaises such as "mul-
licullural mediation" pnijects and other
'('(/ herrings not only offend the intel-
lect, but divert energies from worthy
pnijects. Il is significant, for example,
ihai various diversionary official cam-
pus groups such as the Chancellor's
Task Force on Multiculturalism were
irrelevant to the renaming of the
Library, a victory achieved by the W. E.
B Du Bois Petition Coalition. The
Coalition was informed by ideal
beyond ethnicity and had no ties to an
official multiculturalism. such as the
Task Force, which would probably
have preferred to inaugurate a
"Calipari Libraiy" instead.
Furthermore, the multiculturalism
that poses as non- ideological is not.
by any means, genuinely beyond ide-
ology. Where, for
example, was the
multicultural agenda
when Minister
Farrakhan came to
speak on campus a
year ago? There was
no multiculturalism
for him, least of all from suppo^
bastions of multicultural liberalism
such as Chancellor Scott, Ann
Ferguson, Sam Bowles, and Carol
Wallace. These white liberals lined
up to denounce the Minister as a
racist, sexist, homophobic or
anti-Semite. Would they do the same
afier last Monday? Maybe. Perhaps
they truly have no shame.
Need one mention the reaction to
professors leffries and Martin? No,
everyone knows that, even though wc
don't admit it. our "multiculuralism"
has unstated political and ideolofical
foundations.
But. properly, there always ought
to be honest political limits to identi-
fication. Multiculturalism's most
obscene moment to date must have
been when Maya Angelou recited her
insipid peon to meaningless multicul-
tural diversity in honor of CHnton's
inauguration just as Clinton's mis-
siles slammed into Baghdad killing,
among other innocent victims, one of
Iraq's greatest artists, Layla
Al-Attar.
Multiculturahsm's quest for mean-
ingless diversity could even lead
many lo see the election of Colin
Powell — a killer whose hands are
dripping with the blood of victims in
Vietnam, Central America, and above
all Iraq — as some sort of progressive
development'.
Faced with this kind of twisted
"multicultural logic," it is time (o
embrace the concept of ideology,
openly and honestly.
Minister Farrakhan, as always,
explained the principle well when he
said, in a thinly veiled reference to
Colin Powell, that "we wiH. not vote
for someone just because he is Black,
we tried that. The perscm for whom
we vote must espouse our agenda."

"Multiculturalism" is an elite Eurocentric term
contrived to provide an alternate focus on a waiting
list in order to keep such elites from addressing the
issues of classism and racism.
The issues of control and the hierarchical power
structure in American society still falls under the
determination of white corporaie America. Even the
scope of "black/white relations-
is defined by the initial promoters
of multiculturalism.
Poor and immigrant whites are
members of America at large who
for centuries have been duped
into believing that people of coku
were the objects to be used (slave
labor, migrant workers, Indian
fur trade, railroad builders, etc.) for them to become
members of the elite. A small percentage ol them
were allowed to becutne the sub-elite and upper (and
lower) middle class — in order to keep the
"American Dream" alive. However, it is still a fact
that America is still politically controlled by direct
deKendants of the first American elite families
Today, they are told that people of color are the
obstacle that prevents them from gaining entrance
into the top (and they firmly believe this).

ago — they gave it up for power The American
Dream was structured so that those who chase it.
must be willing to put aside one's culture and active-
ly suppress all cultures. Culture is built upon cixles
of ethics and moral precepts. Strip an individual of
cultural identity and you also strip awav spiritual
awareness and human compassion Without these
elements, it is possible to direct people lo commit
acts of genocide against people they do not know
land do not care to know), to incorporate racism or
plunder the environment and commit acts of
self-hatred and horizontal racism.
Despite the multitude of crimes committed against
people of color and all poor peopk. aspects of cultua*
have nonetheless survived. Now elite America has
found a way to capitalize on culture
and maintain a pretense to the
courts of international law that it Ls
attempting to clean up its act by
pamioiing multiculturalism.
While injecting multicultural-
ism into the education systc>m, we
see the fiow of political correct-
ness through the veins of main-
stream academia. The use of such "pc" terminology
serves many purposes It allows the bigots to still
harbor bigotry in their hearts and actions So long as
they do not use the "r>-word,~ or do not call you a
savage, then they have not really committed any
crime. If they occasionally slip and use the bad
words, they can hide behind the first amendment
These terms also allow those who arc the objects of
bigotry lo delude themselves into believing that
things aa- improving ("they do not call me gook. nig-
ger, red devil, anymore").
Multicultural conversations are passive discussions
that a-mind hk- of confessiotvds Because one vertwlly
ackiH)wledges another culturally, one can now remove
onc'self from the guilt one should have if one is still
beiKTiting from an aci of genocide committed h) any
member of one's arwesiral or racial group against thai
culture. Since one is free of guilt, one is free of sitame
and of the need to have learned from the experience.
Instead of passive dialogue, we as a nation should
be actively engaging in honest, active ci>mniunicalion
about respect of cultural differences. We should be
adda'ssing the issues of racism, religious and spiritu
al differences, the role oi privilege and the seeking of
that privilege in American and world history, the
complexities of interactions between indigenous
world and governmental views and learning how to
agree to disagrcv.
Students at UMass are not allowed the adequate
time and space lo engage in active communication and
active learning about themselves and each other: nt>r is
the staff and faculty, for that matter Passive discus-
sion thai mea'ly acknowledges thai ihea' are different

tual realization, learning and oppi>rtunilies to create
ways to address all the issues al hand. Whiii is needed
is action, honest communication and a real commit
inc"nt to allow us to be part of that process
Il should be remembered that members of the
ALANA coniniunities are of many different cultures,
religions and spiritual backgrounds We did not vol-
unteer to bcxome targets of bigotry, religious intolei-
atvce and acts of genocide
We have a right to be angry, and to feel the pain

■ On Intercultural artificiliasm»/
The effects of colonialism, thai is. white domi-
nance, which also includes slavery, genocide, and
multiculturalism. have been passed on lo the
so-called minorities of America. Our ethnic cul-
tures — our traditions and beliefs — have been
altered to satisfy Western tastes. It was not until
the civil rights movement of the I4t>0s that sub-
itantial attempts were made at
recognizing white dominance
And It was not until fairly
recently that the social con-
struction of multi- culturalism
had become as prevalent as it
is.
As a (ocial construction,
multiculturalism sc-cks to give the semblance that
all the factors that make up equality are present in
today's world, when in actuality, many piecc-s are
not present — and never virill be. These pieces of
equality include self-determination, respect for
cultures, lifestyles, etc Multiculturalism has bcvn
referred to as "the politics of recognition" by some
sociologists and political theorists. According to
this theory, one could conclude that minorities
have a potentially low level of self-esteem and
seek acceptance from the dominant, white culture
Multiculturalism also allows people to forget that
most of modem history has been characterized by
the appropriation of certain cultures by Ihe
Western world.
In practice, multiculturalism is an ideal: poten-
tial harmony among races It includes socio-cul-
tural organizations and support groups for minori-
ty students. It ignores the fundamental rocrt of the
problem; racism in our coun-
try. Multiculturalism glorifies
diversity but fails to see thai
the reason for this need to glo
rify is because of what was
done to cultures in the past.
Through this process, we can
see that multiculturalism is
dictated by the majority who has the power to rec
ognize or ignore the minority. Therefore, even in
praclia-, minorities are forced to seek recognition
from others.
No one can deny our basic human need for
rcxognition and respect for who we are and what
we value But when cries to justify our cuhtnet> are
not given a response from those who hold the
power to do h). alternative directions are sought
out. For the American minority, it becomes a Jour-

A positive first step, but . . . what after?

on various meanings. I feel it basically breaks
down to the survival of many cultures or ethnic
groups as separate entities. Multi culturalism

tiveness does not restrict social participation II is.
therefore, an essential freedom. But a freedom for
whom?
As with every situation, mul-
ticulturalism creates both posi-
trvity and negativity. Pros of
multiculturalism include the
fact that people are able to
fwpeci heritage and diverse
ethnicities. Multiculturalism
also preserves ethnic groups
and benefits society as a whole because each cul
ture is able to make a valuable contribution lo
society. This would be similar to the mcUinft pot
effect where there is a blending of different groups
who affect each other. Howc-ver, unlike this phe-
nomenon, in a multicultural society each group is
able to maintain its distinct idendty .
The negative side to multiculturalism is that for
one, it seems to suppress individuality. Also, histo-
ry has taught us thai there is always a need for one
cultifle to 0f>press and dominate others. An exam-
ple of this would be the Anglo- Saxons who have
historwally dominated and foac-d their culture on
not only the Native Americans, but also on just
about every irther minority group as well.
This, as we know, creates a lol of racial ten-
sions, suppressed feelings, and prejudices. It is
obvious that multiculturalism cannot exist when
thc-re is so much bigotry and self-denial on the
part of white America. I feel that it is inherently
rooted in the minds of white
Americans that feel they arc by
far more superior than other
races.
With diversity on the rise
throughout the United States,
it seems to have created a lot
more awareness of different
ethnic groups. In a classroom setting, teachers and
professors have lo be more careful with their liter-
ature. They have to be careful not lo stereotype or
say things which would offend any particular race.
This could prove very stressful for thoae who have
to conceal their true racist or prejudiced outlooks.
Presently, we are able to observe bow difficult it is
for a multicultural community to exist politically.
This stems faim Ihe mea fact of one culture (whiles)
being able to dominate the major political positions

The tealizatkjn of the history, culture and customs

For me multiculturalism is many things, but I am
compelled to explain what it is
not. Multiculturalism is not a
conspiracy against white males
in society. Contrary to their
beliefs, the "angry white males"
of this country perceive multi-
culturalism as a move to subvert
their culture and history — this
could not be further from the
truth. This unwarranted fear of the idea that multi-
culturalism is a reaction to what they see might be
a backlash to what they have done to others for
hundreds of years.
Multiculturalism is not a movement to rot away at
the quality of American work ethic, or its education-
al and artistic institutions. If we have institutions

An issue that has crippled our society for al least
three centuries, race telalions in America has been
brought to the national attention once again in the
form of the general public's reactions to the trial and

tal to bring attention to the conditions that many of
them face in today's society. These are two events

then just as there are calls now for a "c4)mmission" to

"There are calls for healing, for more understand-

will actually occur on the national level and/or
whether il will be sustained until some meaningful

of the view thai all politics are local. Here at UMass,
I do believe it is possible for us to have a dialogue
about these very complex issues.

from the Mills House take over in 1972 (which
resulted in the creation of the New Africa House) to

Multiculturalism in short
It is interesting to think about multiculturalism in a
time when things irKreasingly seem to be articulattM in
terms of black and white, llius my own identity as a
multiculluralist — meaning one who is interested in
and embraces many or a multitude of cultures, cultural
products and cultural perspectives is under assault.
And although the hostility to multiple persptvlives is
depressing. I am reassured by the reality that ttiere is
no going back to a world of only Mack and white, no
matter hcrw comforting that may be to some. We live in
a world of many cok>rs, voices, classes, genders. It is
too late to stem the tide — we cannot hide in our own

Producer, Clinton discuss contract
By Pete Yosf
Aiioooted Preij
WASHINGTON — President
Clintun directed aides to pay atten-
tion after Hollwood producer Harri
Thomason touted a business jjarlncr
to the president lor a consulting con-
tract, according to memos disclosed
Tuesday during a congressional hear-
ing.
"These guys are sharp," Clinton
wrote on one memo, urging action,
according to a White House official.
But the official provided that infor-
mation outside the hearing; the
Clinlun notation was not turned over
to the Republican-led committee con-
ducting the proceeding.
House Republicans depicted
Thomason as the force behind the fir-
ings of While House travel office
employees, with Rep. William dinger
accusing the administration of keep-
ing documents on the producer's
While House activities away from
Congress.
The White House said it had
turned over thousands of pages of
material to the Government Reform
and Oversight Committee chaired bv
dinger. R-Pa.
The panel released memos indicat-
ing that in February I9'J> Thomason
met with the president and present-
ed him with a memo from business-
man Darnell Martens. It recom-
mended Thomason's and Martens'
company. TRM. for a proposed
review of all nonmilitary govern-
ment aircraft. Martens estimated his
companv's costs for the project as
$270,000.
The plan died after the travel office
controversy erupted in May l'}9'5.
"Harry. Put me in Iront of the right
person at the White House and I will
prove the value of ... the project."
Martens told his partner in the Feb.
II. l'}'}3. memo which Thomason
gave the president.
The memo was stamped "THE
PRESIttKNT HAS SEEN." Clinton
scrawled an accompanying note to
aides which said. "These guys are
sharp. Should discuss with
Paneita/Lader." according to White
House spokesman Mark Fabiani. who
provided the text of Clinton's note to
a reporter outside the hearing room.
At the time of the memo. Leon
Panctta was director of the Office of
Management and Budget. Phil Lader.
his assistant there and later after
Panelta became chief of staff, is now
the head of the Small Business
Administration.
The While House did not turn
Clinton's note over to the committee,
but rather offered to let staffers
review it. Committee staffers were
unaware of its contents when ques-
tioned about it.
"We've cooperated in every way."
Fabiani said. But dinger said at the
hearing, "The travel office matter
reflects ... a disturbing pattern of
White House resistance."
dinger said Thomason was engag-
ing in a "blatant inconsistency" by
"seeking a sole source aviation con-
tract for his own business partner."
At the same time, said dinger.
Thomason was telling While House
officials that the travel office employ-
ees' failure to competitively bid press
charters proved thai they were "on
the take."
"The While House and Mr.
Thomason disregarded inherent con-
flicts in Thomason's far-ranging role"
at the While House, dinger said in
his opening statement.
Other committee Republicans also
focused on Clinton and the
Hollywood producer.

our common humanity. The achieve-

comparable perhaps to the project of

which should serve to unmask the

ney within our respective cultures —
an affirmation by peers who share
the common heritage, and a value
system that promotes self-worth and
cultural appreciation not offered in
our Eurocentric society. These are
the vehicles by which recognition is
obtained.
Minority students at our University
have been criticized as hypocrites
because they chouse to "separate
themselves" while trying to make
clear why cultural recognition by
white faculty and students is needed.
Students on both sides of the color
line find themselves making argu-
ments that redirect our attention
from issues of race and cultural sov-
ereignty to a focus on deemphasizing
the reason why minorities choose to
separate themselves in the first place.
The disempowermeni of minorities
becomes a question of self-esteem.
Multiculturalism. like colonialism, is
a form a white oppression, the inva-
sion this time is not of a country, but
of the mind.
Within our society there are no
permanent solutions. There are, how-
ever, ways of making revolutionary
changes. For e.xample. all people,
regardless of race or nationality,
must advocate for the United States
to stop exploiting Third World coun-
tries for its own selfish purposes.
U.S. military bases in South Korea
continue to take advantage of sur-
rounding prostitution camps, or
"entertainment zones," filled with
Korean women and children.
American minorities need to
understand that when the term mulii-
culluralism is used, it is already a lie
by definition. It is not understanding,
or educating, or critically thinking
about the United States and its histo-
ry: but instead, it uses cultural cele-
brations and ethnic food as a brilliant
smokescreen. Perhaps this is what
institutions like UMass would like it
to be for. When you arc seemingly
happy, you do not get angry, you do
not organize, and you do not fight.

tion get us? These terms have
become a very short handed way of
talking about a whole host of very
complex and interrelated issues, con-
cepts, beliefs and opinions.
For some, these words speak to
the effort to make changes in the cur-
riculum, so as to more accurately
reflect the contributions all
Americans have made to this coun-
try's rich history. For others, they are
terms which suggest our efforts to
address issues of social justice in our
society. Yet others view the use of
these terms as an attack on the
Founding Fathers and the many
sound — theoretical — principles
and values they put forward in the
formation of this nation.
People have to stop grouping all
people of color together as if their
experiences arc somehow the same;
they are not. We have to look at how
the majority of society treats Asian
Americans differently than the way we
might look at the treatment of our true
native people, the so-called Native
Americans. Now 1 know thai there are
those people who will say we should
not be so focused on our differences,
but that we should rather concentrate
on our similarities. This is a point well
taken, atKl one that is initially hard to
argue with, but in many restxxns it is
far too simplistic a concept and too
shallow a way of dealing with a whole
set of very complex issues.
As members of society engaged in
a social compact, we have to find
ways to reconcile very deep divisions
in our community. Our economic
and social interests require us to
work to establish and achieve a set of
ideals and opinions that we all quite
obviously share. No one person or
ideology speaks for the various expe-
riences of people of color. No one
group is capable of assessing the
needs of groups with distinctly differ-
ent backgrounds and problems.
We have got to establish more dia-
logue within and between the respec-
tive communities that can agree on
issues. The recent problems in
Brooklyn & Los Angeles between
African Americans and Koreans over
the local economies shows that there
is some work to be done there. Also,
since U.S. Census Bureau figures
show that Americans with Latin or
Hispanic heritage is the fastest-grow-
ing group in our society, we need to
understand the ramifications that this
will have on this society, and come to
a consensus on how to approach the
changing face of America with its
multiplicity of cultures within that
heterogeneous culture.
As a matter of public policy, we
need to begin a real dialogue about a
whole host of issues that effect us all
everyday. This brings us full circle to
my original point, for we can not
even begin to have conversations
about goals if we do not proceed to
define the terms that we are using
beyond the level of "nicety" at which
they currently exist.

tfiat multiculturalism is rut a sub-

even be fair to say that multicul-

society where all cultures can live
in equilibrium.
Therefore, we would have to
live in an equally balanced soci-
ety where wealth, power, and
education, to name a few,
would be equally shared. It
would be unequivocal that
white America search within
themselves to create solutions to

would come up with some telling fig-
ures. A fad comes and goes on a
whim. Multiculturalism is not a
whim, because it is allowing the
voices of different people to be heard
in chorus with the one that we have
been hearing all this time, the
Western white males. Once you have
yelled your injustices you will never
allow vour voice to be stifled.
Trying to condense what is multicul-
turalism implies greater difficulty than
trying to figure out what it is not. I
conclude that multiculturalism is
about three things: acceptarKe. respect
and action It is acceptance not
because non-Western people want
their cultures, languages or histories
valklated by the West, but because the
latter must accept the presence of oth-
ers and move away from its ethiKxen-
tric views, it is respect because respect
equals justice, equality and considera-
tion. Respect means if a million black
men inarch on our nation's capital, we
ask ourselves why and listen. WTiat we
do not do is disregard it as militant
and anti-white, and fear for our lives.
That as.sumption is. again, based on
self-centered understanding of the
world, which is why we are at this
stage in race relations in the first place.
We must have the diversity rxxjuirc-

not to etKroach upon what others may
have. No, it is a clear message that the
"playing field' has for too long been
uneven and, as a society, we will take
actions to level it. For it is tKit enough
to say, "I am not a racist," "I am no
David Duke or no lessy Helms"; what
is important is to say, "I am against
any discrimination or oppression and
will work to insure that it does not
take place in a society I belong to."
Acceptance, respect, action — this is
what I think multiculturalism is. If you
think that we can have a peaceful, just
and equal society and not have these
three things present you are wrong.
For those of you who think that not
everyone is equal, not all things can be.
or should be just, or that we should
gain peace through superior firepower
and police repression as well, all I can
say to you is: if you live by this belief,
you may die by it. Because if we do not
accept each other, respect each other
and do the things that are kt7 to the
success of these two. we may all be
involved in a different type of struggle,
one less civil, and less thoughtful.
Multiculturalism is one of the answers,
and we all need to recognize that.

Student Trustee.

THE MASSACHUStrrS DAILY COLLEGIAN
Wednesday, October 25, 1995 / Page 1 1
Indians squeak by;
keep Series alive
By Ben Walker
Associated Press
CLEVELAND - Cancel that miss-
ing persons report. The real
Cleveland Indians have shown up.
Eddie Murray singled home the
winning run in the 11th inning
Tuesday night and the Indians, mas-
ters of the last-inning comeback,
saved their season by rallying past
.Atlanta 7-6 and cutting the Braves'
lead in the World Series to 2- 1 .
No team in baseball postseason
history has overcome a 5-0 deficit,
and the Indians made sure they
wouldn't have to either by winning
the first World Series game played in
Cleveland in 41 years.
Keyed by Kenny Lofton, who
reached base in all six of his at-bats.
the Indians .scored a run in the eighth
to tic it b-6 Then in the I Ith against
Alejandro Pena, Carlos Baerga led off
with a double, Albert Belle was inten-
tionally walked and Murray hit a
sharp single to center that easily
scored pinch-runner Alvaro Espinoza.
The win was the Indians' 29th in
their last at-bat this year and made
them 22-2 m one-run decisions and
1 5- 1 overall in extra innings.
Cleveland stopped a six-game
World Series losing streak dating to
1954. The Braves, meanwhile, had
their seven-game winning string in
this FHJstseascm snapped.
The Indians will try to even the
Series Wednesday night in Game 4.
Ken Hill is likely to start against
Atlanta's Steve Avery.
lose Mesa was the winner, pitching
three innings in his second -longest
stint of the season. Braves closer
Mark Wohlers went 2 2-3 innings in
his longest outing of the year before
Pena took over to start the I Ith.
Pena tried out for the Indians in
spring training but was not kept.
The Indians, who led the majors in
hitting, scoring and home runs, were
limitisd to two earned runs and eight
hits during a pair of one-run los.ses in
Atlanta. But back at home, before the
5«ih straight sellout at lacobs Field,
they scortxl four time's on six hits in the
first three innings against )ohn Smoltz.
After Atlanta scored three times in
the eighth for a 6-5 lead, the Indians
struck back after a one-out walk to
Manny Ramirez and a single by Paul
Sorrento. Wohlers relieved Greg
McMichael and gave up a tying double
to Sandy Alomar, but following an
intentional walk to Lofton, preserved
the tic by striking out Omar Vizquel
and getting Baerga on a pv>urtder.
Mesa kept it 6-6 in the ninth by
rctinng Chipper k>nes on a grounder,
picked up nicely by rookie first base-
man Herbert Perry with two runners
on. In the 10th, Baerga went behind
second base to glove a grounder by
lavier Lopez and throw him out to eixi
the inning with a runner on second.
Lofton was intentionally walked in
the bottom of the 10th to put runners
at first and third with two outs, but
Vizquel grounded out. Lofton had
three hits, walked three times and
scored three runs.
Indians starter Charles Nagy
seemed to be fading, but manager
Mike Hargrove stuck with him as he
took a 5-3 lead into the eighth. The
move almost cost Cleveland the game
right there.
Marquis Crissom led off with a
double and, with a 2-0 count on Luis
Polonia and the crowd groaning,
Hargrove went to the mound. Again
he stayed with Nagy and paid for it as
Luis Polonia hit an RBI single.
This time. Hargrove was booed as
he brought in lefty Paul Assenmacher,
and switch-hitter lones turned around
and drew a walk. Fred McGriff. who
eariier hit a home run and an RBI sin-
gle, sent a fly ball to center that
Lofton caught on the warning track
with his back to the plate.
Looking a bit like Willie Mays
against Cleveland's Vic Wertz and
the Indians in the 1954 Scries,
Lofion whirled and made a strong
thruw to second, although both run-
ners managed to tag up. David
lustice drove in the tying run with a
grounder that second baseman
Baerga fumbled for an error.
Hargrove again went to his bullpen,
again without success, when NL play-
offs MVP Mike DevcTcaux hit an RBI
single on the second pitch from rookie
reliever lulian Tavarez for a 6-5 lead.
Perhaps fired up by their fans, or
maybe inspired by an unusual prcgame
team meeting, the Indians showed
their bats were not as cold as the tem-
perature — it was 49 degrees, the
chilliest World Series start in 1 3 years.
Lofton led off the first with a sin-
gle. Vizquel tripled and Baerga's
grounder made it 2-1. Lofton did it
again in the third, leading off with a
double that set up run-scoring singles
by Baerga and Belle off Smoltz.
Ahead 4-1. the Indians had a
chance to break it open later in the
third, loading the bases with one out.
But Braves manager Bobby Cox wast-
ed no time in pulling Smoltz, and the
move worked when side-arming
reliever Brad Clontz got Ramirez to
ground into an inning-ending double
play.
Smolti! had been the Braves' best
postseason pitcher, going 5-1, but
was not sharp in his first start in 13
days.

hockey
continued from poge !4
fast and brutal play of the Western
College Hockey Association, but
Godbout would be forced to do so at
forward, adapting from his customary
defensive sfHjt. where the Gophers
are loaded with young talent.
On Friday the 1 3th. Godbout once
again donned the fabled maroon and
gold sweater and took to the ice at
Michigan Tech's Maclnnes Student
Ice Arena, completing a miraculous
comeback.
The icing on the cake came five
minutes into the second period as he
made a move to the net and collect-
ed a Dan Woog pass at the Huskies'
blue line. Godbout then fired a 40
foot wrist shot past goaltender
Luciano Caravaggio.
"When I scored the goal it made
everything worthwhile," Godbout
■ goal tending
told the Minnesota Daily. "After I
scored, I went to the bench and all
the guys told me, "You're really back
now.' Now there's no doubt in my
mind that I can play in this league
and be a contributor lo the team."
We can only hope and pray at this
point that Travis Roy can someday pro-
vide a story as incredibly inspiratk>nal.

The game of the week is clearly
the Maine-Michigan tilt tomorrow
night at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
College hockey fans have salivated
over the match-up between No. 2
Maine t2-0) and No. 5 Michigan
( 1-1 ) since the game was announced
months ago. A packed house will be
on hand for one of the biggest games
of the entire season.
Last season the Black Bears and
Wolverines hooked up in one of the
most thrilling games in collegiate
hockey history. Maine took a 4-3
decision as Dan Shermerhorn scored
early in the third overtime of an
NCAA semifinal in Providence. At
100:28, it is the second longest game
in college hockey history, and the
longest in an NCAA Championship.
Michigan will be without
All-Amcrican forward Brendan
Morrison, the team's leading scorer
last year, who strained his left knee
in pre-season practice. Sophomore
forward Mall Heir will also miss the
game after receivmg a game disquali
fication Saturday night in a 3-2 win
at Western Michigan.
Former lunior Bruin Make Sloan
has picked up some of .Morrison's
scoring slack. The junior had three
continued from page 14
wins, against Boston College and
Providence.
He set a Hockey East record for
saves in a game with 50 against
Boston University.
Like Regan, Kilduff is looking for-
ward to the upcoming season.
"I feel like a freshman this year. I
have a new altitude. I'm sort of
reborn and I'm excited for it," said
Kilduff, who points to his effort as a
key to success. "I think I have a
good work ethic. I think if I give
too percent when I have my chance
to play, I think things will go well
for me.'
While Moriarty appears to be
trailing in the race. Mallen won't
count the Wilbraham native out. The
junior has shined al limes, and was
in net when the Minutemen picked
up their first Division one win
against Army (Ian. 29, 1994) in only
their first season after being reinstat-
ed.
In four starts lust year, he was 1-3
with a team best 4.31 goals against
average.
All three goaltenders agree ihai
the competition between them is a
positive thing.
"It's a highly competitive situa-
tion." Moriatly said. "I'm coming
back a little bit more focused, and
I'm ready lo gel afier it."
Regan said that while the three gel
along well, their relationship
changes on the ice
"Rich Moriarty, Dave Kilduff and
I have all been supporters of each
other. We're best of friends off the
ice. But on the ice, it's all business.
Andrea Cabral was one of four Minutewomen honored at Senior Day, yesterday
the season. Dartmouth won the match J-2 in overtime.

goals against the Broncos this wc-ek-
end. Sloan entered the season with
just four goals in 77 career games.
After scoring on just 5 of 78 shots
taken on Bronco freshman goalie
Marc Magliardili over the weekend.
Wolverine forwards will face anoth-
er tough challenge. Black Bear net-
minder and Hobey Baker candidate
Blair Allison was an All America
selection last year.
Allison and Michigan's Marly
Turco stole the show on March 30
as the game dissolved into a contest
lo see which goalie would fold first.
Each keeper had career days, but it
was Maine coming out on top.
Michigan will look to extract
revenge tomorrow night in what's
destined to be both a thriller and an
NCAA preview.
We want to play the next game and the
starting goaltender is based on who
played the biiter week in practice."
While the contenders for playing
lime are the same, Kilduff says the
competition is different.
"Last year was different because
Brian was new." Kilduff said "Now
we kind of know what lo expect. We
know how good Brian is. It's been a
lot of fun."
Mallen has not yel named a starl-
ing goaltender for Saturday's season
opener against Amiy.
MNFL
continued from page 14
over the Indianapolis Colls but k>sl
their quarterback Dan Marino.
Marino was on course to break
four major lifetime passing records
this season. He reached the first
plateau, career completions, but
the others will have to wait along
with nKire Miami victories
There is no excuse for the
lX)lphins losing to the lets even
with Bernie Kosar under center.
The ex Hurricane was to Manie for
the four turnovers last game alone.
That's a half season for Marino
and with a quarterback making
turnovers the Dolphins will be just
be a beached football team.
Monday Night Football returned
lo Foxboro for the first time in 14
years and the extra electricity
seemed lo ignite a fire under the
pathetic Patriots. Their defense
looked sharp and the offense capi-
talized on Buffalo turnovers.
But where did those turnovers
come from? Well the first was from
Thumian Thomas on the first drive
of the game, it would be the only
full drive he would lake part in as he
seviTcly pulled his left liamslring.
Without Thomas and Andre
Reed in the lineup |im Kelly's
options were limited and they eltx't
ed to run with rookie Dariek
Ho1mi-s The Portland State gradu-
ate put the ball on the ground twice
killing Buffalo drives and selling up
the Patriots insurance touchdown.
Without those two healthy, the
Bills will never be paid in full.
Il comes down lo teams who
will consistently even without
their best players who end up
playing late into January. Case in
point, the San Francisco 49crs.
Thi7 are the reigning Super Bowl
champions, with the highly touted
West Coast office. Il takes a quarter
back, with an exceptional krxjiwicdge
of his receivers lo run such an
offen.sc. Steve Young has done il for
over four years now and has bruughl
continued success lo the Bay area
When Young went down the foot
ball world was skeptical about how
they would fair without him. Bui
champions adjust.

My friend Beeber can reach
around the back of her head, come
up from behind and cover the front of
lier face with the palm of Iwr liand.
Slw is cool.
But Beeber can't tell if she's
being tricked. I've seen people say
stuff to her that they don't mean...
like 'I'll meet you at 5 tonight, "
Beeber will wait there for hours.
I love Beeber.
She'd put both of her hands in
garbage to find your lost wrist
watch. Beeber has the best hands.
I hope no one ever hurts Beeber. In
cold weather when she wears gloves
she looks cool and competent.
When I have kids I want my
little girl to have hands like Bee-
ber ... Someday Beeber will
recognize when someone is tricking
her and then her life will be forever
smooth. That's the recipe for con-
tentment great hands that move

Dartmouth spoils field hockey Senior Day
By Malt Voutour
Collegian Staff
It wasn't supposed to end this way.
It was senior day. and probably the final game
ever on Totnian Field, and with a 2-0 lead with
8:20 to go in the game, it appeared the
Massachusetts field hiKkey team would finish its
home schedule with a win.
But llartniouth wouldn't gi\e up The Big Green
scored two goals in the final nine minutes to tie the
game and send it to overtime.
With just over two minutes remaining in the
first extra session Dartmouth's sophomore mid-
fielder Sarah Sedgewick collected the ball amidst
chaos in front of Massachusetts goalie Stacy
Walker, a shot it in to give Dartmouth the stun-
ning upset victory.
The Minutewomen controlled the game in the
first half, getting several storing opportunities
"I feel had for them today, "
she said. "But this doesn't take
away from their contribution.
You want to end on your field
with a win. but what they've
experienced at UMass will all be
positive. "
early. Senior captain Sireya V'olla was fired up in
her final collegiate home game and turned in an
excellent performance.
She drilled a pass in from the sideline that led to
the first Ma-sjchusetts goal.
Rothenberger collected the ball to goaltender
Lauren Demski's left. She fired the ball from a diffi
cult angle that got by Demski to give UMass a I-O
advantage with 14:41 remaining until intermission.
The beginning of the second half was more c>t
the same for Massachusetts. After getting knocked
down in front of the net. sophomore forward
Courtney Maclean netted what looked like an
insurance goal with 15:25 to play, as she swiped
the loose ball into the net to give the
Minutewomen a 2-0 lead.
Ahead two goals and tired from three games in
four days, the Minutewomen appeared to ease up.

Fired up by the goal. Dartmouth attacked the

paid off as junior midfielder Kelly Flannigan
popped a rebound by Stacy Walker with only 1:23
to play to send the game into sudden death
Following the game. Donnelly left the field over-
come by einiiiion. and was unavailable for com-
ment.
While a variety of players were shaken after the
loss and its significance, assistant coach Amy
Robertson stressed that the loss didn't take any-
thing away from the senior's careers.
"I feel bad for them today." she said. "But this
doesn't take away from their contribution. You
want to end on your field with a win. but what
they've experienced at UMass will all be pt)sitive."
The loss drops Massachusetts to 7-11 on the
year.

The senior day festivities began in the usual fash-
ion. .A tearful Donnelly introduced the four seniors.
V'olla. Walker. Andrea Cabral and Kerry Metelski
and announced their accomplishments to the
Toiman Field crowd.
Following Donnelly's spu-ech \ olla lot>k the micu)
phone and spoke to her teammates and the crowd.
When the team took the field. Metelski. who
hasn't played all season after injuring her knee in
the first game of the season, joined her fellow
seniors in the starting lineup drawing a huge cheer
from her teammates and the home crowd.
After the game started, she was immediately
replaced by Kate Putnam Metelski reportedly still
needs this week to finish rehabilitating, but is
expected to get a chance to test it in the regular
season finale against St. Joseph's to determine if
she will be able to play in the postseason.
In her pregame introduction. Donnelly spoke of
Metelski's upbeat attitude during her season of
injury.
"She has had to endure quite u bit of hardship
this year," Donnelly said. "But that has not dimin-
ished her accomplishment to thiv team and why
she is such a special part of who we are. Kven with
the injury she has remained positive and upbeat."
The Minutewomen return to action this Saturday
when they tra\el to Philadelphia for a I p.m.
matchup with the No. 17 nationally ranked St.
Joseph's Hawks, in a contest that will likely decide
the Atlantic 10 regular season title. The game will
likely be a preview for next weekend's Atlantic 10

Minutewomen stay hot;
Win streak runs to six
as they drop Crimson
By Steven Grant
CoUegion Stoff
DAVMION SMITH COllICIAN
Senior captain Streya Volla turned in a solid performance in her final home game as a
Mtnutewoman.
If Bonnie Kenny could some-
how limit her opposition to
schools of the Commonwealth,
her Massachusetts volleyball
team would be an undefeated
one.
And last night supported this
hypothesis, as the Minutewcunen
made the Harvard Crimson look
blue last night at Curry Hicks
Cage, defeating them. '5-0 (15-7.
15-5. 15-12). for their third win
of the season over a
Massachusetts foe as already this
season. UMass has also downed
Northeastern and Boston College.
The Miuntewomen have also won
their last ten meetings over
intrastate rivals dating back to
1^)95.
Led by the strong play of Giza
Rivera, the Minutewomen (17-9
overall. 8-4 in the Atlantic 101
won their sixth straight match,
and completed a sweep of their
five game homestand.
"I thought we did some really
go<.xi things tonight." Kenny said.
"There weren't many individual
efforts to speak of. but as a team
as a whole I'm happy with the way
we played."
Rivera led her teammates with
IS kills, more than half of
Harvard's team total (28). to go
along with her six digs The junior
outside hitter also registered an
impressive .425 hitting percent-
age.
The closest the first game gut was a
lU ti UMass advantage, but thc
Minuiewomcn promptly won the next
three points to give themselves some
breathing roum Kev blocks bv
Oionnc Nash and Michelle Paciorek
with the score I > 7 volidified the first
game
However, the enthusiastic
Crimson shiiwed no signs of being
intimidated, as they went up 5-0
to open game two. The
Minutewomen would have none of
that however, and they quickly
reeled off the game's next I 5
points
Among the points included a
vicious kill to the back court by
Nash and a Rachel Sky ace.
Harvard then struck back for two
trivial points of their own only to
fall. 15-5.
Kenny baiught in Leigh Readey,
Susan Maga. Cass Anderson and
Leslie Hartlen. all players who
started this match on the bench, to
open the third game. They did the
job asked of them as UMass won,
15-12.
It was close game throughout.
Alter going up 3-0, two violations
by UMass gave Harvard its first
two points, and that put a little
spark in the Crimson. Neither
team could get a firm lead until
Harvard went up 12-10. UMass
rallied for the next five points,
one on a Nash ace. to earn the
victory.
Nash, a junior outside hitter,
collected six kills and had a
team-high 10 digs. Nash's hitting
percentage was .286. She and
Rivera were too much for the
Crimson to handle.
'I think we played well,"
Rivera said. "But we have to
remain consistent and keep
working hard if we're going to be
successful and continue to
improve.
"We did a great job blocking,
tonight. Our hitting percentage
was .400 in the second game, atnl
a team with that kind of percent-
age can't lose.
"Our goal as a team is to keep
winning and try to make the
A lO's. We're going to try and
win the rest of our matches. I
know we can accomplish anything
if we work hard."
Kenny agrees, and understands
what her team will need to do in
order to keep its winning streak
alive.
"We have to play good,
hard-nosed "D." and win the bat-
tle at the net. Tonight, we con-
nected in the middle, which is
important, but we mad« too many
unforced errors. Not going for
balls, poor serves.
"We're in control of our own
destiny, and if we work hard, we'll
be all right."
Banner night tragedy;
Michigan-Maine II
Goaltenders fighting for time
Friday night was literally sup-
posed to be a banner night in
Boston University's hcKkey history,
a-- the Terriers rose Beanpot.
Hockey Fast and NCAA
Championship banners in a
pregame ceremony.
Ironically what
would set this night
apart occurrc-d just
1:56 into the game,
directly beneath the
newly-raised nation-
al championship
banner.
The tragic tale of Travis Roy is
not your standard paralysis story.
What sets Roy apart is what an
exceptional and likeable person he
is. At his alma mater. Tabor
Academy, he is remembered as
being a strong student, nice guy
and a perfect role tnodel for an
aspiring hockey player. It is Roy's
incredible charisma and affable
persona which makes this unfortu-
nate incident even more so.
While he might not fulfill his
lifelong dream of winning a
Beanpot championship. Roy will
have the opportunity to be a
champion though, a champion of
the human spirit.

Turn to HOCKEY, page 11
By Matt Voulour
Collegian Stoff
If you examine upstart teams throughout hockey hislo
ry. there is one glaring constant that is present in almost
every one. Talented goallending.
When UMass -Lowell rolled off its best season in recent
lime two years ago it was goaltender Dwayne Roloson that
backboned their success.
Massachusetts has it sights set on being an upstart for
the 1995-96 season and coach |oe Mallen will look
toward the netminding trio of sophotnore Brian Regan,
senior Dave Kilduff and junior Rich Moriarty to provide
the necessary heroics between the pipes.
"1 think the goal lending has been vet^ competitive right
now," Mallen -aid. Phere really is not that great of a dif-
ference between all three of them."
While Mallen wont likely name a No. I goalie, on the
strength of last season, his favor will likely fall on Regan
early.
Regan, who made a name (or himself, by saving 51
shots in UMass' celebrated 4 2 upset over nationally
ranked No. 1 Maine, appears to have the most potential of
any of the UMass goaltenders.
He was named to HiK'key Feast's AII-RtK>kie Team and
legitimized that honor by playing well in Massachusetts'
5 4 win over Boston Ci>llege in the lk)ckey East playoffs.
In onlv one season, he is aheady eighth of the UMass
all time save list.
Making people even more excited about the sophcimore.
is that Mallen. said Regan, is getting even better.
"Brian looks like he's made a step up in his game."
Mallen said. "His hand- eye coordination is even quicker.
That sophomore year is a lough year for a lot of guys. I'm
just hoping that he can take a step up."
Regan has high aspirations for himself and his team and
he hopes that increased confidence will help him achieve
them.
"I have a lot more confidence than I did last year." said
the New Milford. Conn, native. "Last year I was kind of
feeling my way out. gelling used to the league. I exceeded
all my expectations last year. This season, we've all set
new goals and we want to accomplish those goals."
Senior captain jaynen Rissling said that Regan's confi-
dence rubs off.
"Obviously we have some big victories with him in the
net." Rissling said. "What he brings is a sense of confi-
dence, that ihey are oar last line of defense and we feel
very confident that he will be successful."
What Regan possesses in potential. Kilduff equals in
experience. Kilduff begins his final collegiate season as the
Minutenien's most experienced netminder. with 54 games
under his belt.

Clarke to have knee surgery
Charlton Clarke will have surgery
on his injured right knee this week,
according to a report in the Daily
Utimpshin' Ctcizcttv on Monday.
The Gozi'tle reported thai Clarke
will have arthroscopic surgery to
repair a torn meniscus and to also
determine if ihete is any more dam-
age to this knee. If there is no more
damage, then Clarke will be kwking
at 2 4 weeks of rehabilitation.
The 6- foot 5-inch guard hurt the
knee during informal pre season
practices and then aggravated it at
Midnight Madness on Oct. 14. An
MRI last Wednesday revealed the
tear but Clarke was cleared to prac-
tice the next day. But by Saturday,
infiammalion in the knee was severe
enough to require surgery.
Clarke's injury leaves UMass thin
in the backcourt. Fdgar Padilla and
Carmelo Travieso are the only two
returning guards on the Minuteman
roster. UMass' other two guards are
walk-ons Giddell Padilla and Ross
Bums.
UMass begins its season on Nov.
28 in Auburn Hills, Mich, where the
Minutemen will face oft against
Kentucky at the Palace of Auburn
Hills. The Wildcats are favored to be
No. 1 in many publications.

C OURTfSV MEDIA RtLATIONS
Sophomore Brian Regan looks to continue his sensation play in net this season by backboning the Minutemen
defense.
First, The Bengals. Patriots and lets
entered week eight with a combined
4- 1 5 record and were up against the
Pittsburgh Steelers. Buffalo Bills and
Miami Dolphins respectfully. All
totaled those teams collective record
was 1 2-6 and should have improved.
This was not the case.
There can be cases made that
Cincinnati and New Flngland are better
teams than their records indicate, but
there is another that three teams with a
c<>mbined winning percentage of .211
beat up on squads with that won two-
thirds of their games. Injuries.
Thursday night leff Blake's tandem
of wide receivers had at least three
inches on each of the Pittsburgh comer-
backs. They threw many a bomb that
were just jump balls with Cincinnati
pulling down three for touchdowns.
And so it was the Bengals who turned
the once steel curtain defense of
Pittsburgh into shredded lettuce. 27-6.
Rod Woodson, a perennial All-Pro
comerback hasn't played a down since
week one and that changes the
Steelers' overall defensive scheme. No
longer can coach Bill Cowher stick
Woodson on the opposition's big
receiver and change how the quarter-
back thinks. If Woodson isn't in the
secondary then the quarterback doesn't
have to worry about his speed and
hence the now typical Bengal long ball.
On Sunday, it was Bubby Brister.
yes the same man who threw the worst
interception in the history of the NFL
last week, tossed a clutch touchdown
pass to Fohnnie Mitchell for the win-
ning score. That prcxluced the lets sec-
ond win of the year and extended the
Miami losing streak to three.
That losing streak began when the
Dolphins held a 24-5 lead at halftime

Black) Jewish leaders discuss cultural *rift*
By Jacob W. Michaals
Ccjilegian Statt
Michael Lemer and Cornel West,
who recently co- authored the bot)k
lews and Blacks: Lt'l ihc Healing
Begin, spoke before ^eseral hundred
people last night at Mount Holyoke
College about the current rift
between the two communities and
ways to heal it.
The problems afflicting the two
communities and causing the breach
between them rang-.- from the shared
history, to politics, to economics,
they said.
West, an African -American profes-
sor of religion and African-American
studies at Harvard University, said
the two groups "have something
un-American — a sense of history."
Both groups have experienced evil
and unjustified persecution through
their centuries of existence merely
because uf their differences, he said.
Michael Lemer. who founded the
progressive magazine Tikkun. added
to this, talking about how elites have
used three ways to stay in power:
force and violence, convincing the
oppressed people that things are the
way they should be. or by convincing
the oppressed that there is some
other group causing their oppression.
For 2.000 years in Kurope. jews
filled the third category acting as "the
demeaned other." However, when they
came to the United State; in the early
20th century, ihere was another group
that alre^idy had that role — blacks.
West explained it as the "experi
ences in lew -haling Kurope relating
to nigger -hating America."
Society then explicitly offered a deal
to the jews, said Lemer. who is lewish.
If they could stay quiet about their dif-
ferences in public, than they couM be
white and no longer be oppressed.
This, he said, is "thf central issue fac-
ing lews in the 20lh centur> "
Yet. he said, while some lews were
willing to accept that deal, most could
not. "We have to be fundamentally
concemed . . . with the transformation
of African- Americans." Lemer said.
According to West, there is a lot of
history of the two communities help-
ing each other, especially during the
turbulent 1460s and ihe Black
Freedom movement.
Yet since 1984. relations have
spoiled between the groups. West
said il was symptomatic of several
larger problems in the country.
"Economic problems lead toward
an erosion of the system of nurturing
and caring." West said, which he
explained then leads to scapegoating
He also said the high level of disil-
lusionment among the black commu-
nity meant that right wing ideas move
toward the center, as they feel the
need to move toward center, and
close ranks.
Lemer added the Right was another
recent source of the growing rift
between the communities. He said the
Right sees the legitimate crises the
country is facing, but blames it on
minorities. He said progressives in the
country need to find a new way to send
their message to win back the people
who supported thein in the l%0s.
As often happens these days in dis-
cussion about the tension between
blacks and lews, the subject of
Farrakhan arose during Lemer and
West's discussion, although biJth said
they did not want to spend much
time discussing him.
West spoke of how he. like much
of the black community, are "stuck
between a rock and a hard place."
People ask why they are working
with white progressives when they
aren't veen working with blacks Al
the same lime whiter ask how Ihey
can work with more radical black
leaders, he said.
West spoke of how it was impor-
tant III listen to the positives that
Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam
give, while criticizing them if he
hears xenophobia.
He said that it was important "not
to make a fetish out of Minister
Farrakhan." He said the controversial
leader has been around for more than
50 years and the fact that there is
only 40 45.000 people in the Nation
of Islam meant that "black people
have exercised their judgement "
He s.iid. however, there is a leader
ship vacuum in the black community,
which is part of the crisis. Lerner
agreed, offering West up as a positive
black leader
To solve the rift involves a large
number of factors, the two said, to
deal with all the problems of politics
and economics They are working at
the solutions bv holding a conference
in Washington early next year to look
at ways liberals can get their message
across better.
Lerner said they especially need
youth to help rejuvenate the country
and try to slop the problems in civi-
lization. Yet. he said, it might not
be possible, as civilizations through
out history have come and gone
"Our civilization might be disinle
grating .. but we will go down

"You could hear the metal, the glas!>
flying, the screams. It was very, very
scary "
'•■here were four confimied dead in
the morgue, according to McHenry
County coroner's aide Sharon
Schroeder Good Shepherd Hospital
in Harrington s^iid a fifth victim died
there Names were not a-leascd pend
ing notification of relatives
The injured, manv in serious or
critical condition, were taken to six
hospitals, as far as 50 miles away.
The accident happened around
7:20 a.m. in this town 57 miles north-
west of Chicago. Witnesses said the
bus ferrying students 10 Cary-Grove
High SchiKil In Cary was waiting for a
red light with the rear portion still on
the tracks when it was struck by the
Chicago bound express train. The
impact spun the bus around 180
degrees, separating the yeUow body of
the bus fnnn the chassis.
|im Homola. a carpenter driving his
children to school, was slopped
behind the bus when it was struck.
"We started screaming. 'Go! Go!"
he said. "It was over in a matter of
seconds " Homola said he ran to the
scene, and the bus driver "was in hys-
terics."
Taben lohnson. a I 5 year-old
sophomore at the high school who
was sitting toward the front of the
bus, said schoolmates realized the
train was hurtling toward them
"The) all ran for the front of the
bus to gel out of the way." he said,
adding that he heard "a lot of people
screaming ' He told WMAQ TV the
gate came down on the back of the
bus and there was a car in front of
I hem.
A nurse who helped out at the
scene. Helen Getchell. said she suc-
tioned out the throat of one injured
boy with a turkey busier obtained from
a nearby convenience store "He died
in my arms." she said, adding that she
hoped the boy's mother would know
"he didn't die by himself."
School officials said the bus can
carry about 70 passengers but there
were fewer than half that number
inside when the crash occurred.
Six hospitals, one 24 miles away,
reported treating 50 patients, at least
nine in critical condition. And the dri-
ver, a 54'year-old woman, was taken
to a hospital for evaluation.
Hours later, the body of the bus lay
about 10 feel from the wheels and
chassis, with the steering wheel stick-
ing up in the air. Red plastic sheets
were draped over half of the bus'
body Two helicopters hovered over-
head, and an ambulance, a fire truck
and at least 10 police cars surrouiKied
the accident site.
Cary-Gruve High School, which
has an enrollment of about 1 ,400, did
not cancel classes but did allow stu-
dents to leave with their parents if
they wished Some students walked
out sobbing
Al midmoming, remaining students
were asked over a public address sys-
tem to help provide information
about who was on the bus. "We need
you to help us through the crisis," an
ofTicial said.
Campus funded for repairs ;
students wont have to pay
By Allison ConnoHy
Collogton Staff
HVAN tP(//l/( C>UfCI*N
Cornel West and Michael Lerner discuss relations between Black and
Jewish communities last night at Mount Holyoke College.
Slate Senator Stan Rosenberg
(D-Amhersi) and the Senate Ways
and Means Committee have been
busy finding money for long needed
repairs on the University of
Massachusetts campus Rosenberg
announced yesterday he was pleased
that the money will not come from
the students' piKkels.
Rosenberg introduced the Higher
Fducalion bond bill that will set aside
money for the repairs and improve-
ments. The bill allocates $655 mil-
lion, with $81.2 going directly to the
Amherst campus. The Bill has already
been approved by the House and the
Senate. However, the House and
Senate versions of the bill differ in
that the $47 million in deferred main-
tenance costs are not broken down in
the Senate bill.
"It gives you more latitude with the
lump sum." Rosenberg said of the
Senate bill. "If something comes up
in an emergency, there is no flexibili-
ty with the House Bill."
Both versions are currently being
worked out in a conference commit-
tee before the final bill reaches the
Governor's desk.
The Senates version of the bill sets
aside $275 5 million for the five
UMass campuses. At Amherst, the
bill allocates $78.5 million for new
construction, renovations and main-
tenance. There will also be $51 5 mil-
lion for a new engineering and com-
puter science complex, while $2.7
million would go towards meeting
the requirements of Title IX for
women's athletics (see related story
page 2).
However, there was some discrep-
ancy as to where the money for these
repairs and costs would come from.
Originally. UMass officials intended
to increase student fees in order to
pay the debt service on the
University's contingency plan to

Safety agency closes probe oi minivans
Repair program of rear liftgate openings considered adequate
By Catherine O'Brien
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The government highway safety
agency closed its probe Wednesday into 4.57 million
Chrysler minivans prone to sudden rear liftgate openings
in side-impact crashes after determining that the
automaker's repair program was adequate.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
also released dramatic ft)otage of govemment test trashes
into the minivans' left rear that popped open the liftgates.
ejecting dummies out the back.
'"The test f(X)tage shows in very graphic terms why we
consider the Chrysler latches to be a safety problem," said
NHTSA head Ricardo Martinez.
NHTSA had been investigating whether the rear latches
needed to be strengthened but had made no formal find-
ing of a defect — which leads to an official recall — when
Chrysler offered last spring to repair the latches.
TTie agency had kepi its investigation open until it was .sat-
isfied the repair program was adequate and would be adver-
tised properly. Il is the third largest "repair action" in the
agency's history, said Deputy Administrator Philip Recht.
Thirty-seven people have died in accidents in which the
liftgates opened and they were lhrt)wn from the rear of
1984 through 1995 models of Chrysler Town and
Country. Dodge Caravan or Plymouth Voyager minivans.
according to govemment records.
There have been 1 54 ejections from Ihe minivans and
98 injuries. NHTSA documents show.
In September. Chrysler asked 64.000 customers to bring
in their minivans to get replacement latches. Earlier this
month. Chrysler sent out notifications for the next 6(X).(XX)
customers. All these customers have a manual latch.
Notification for the final and largest group of 5.7 mil-
lion minivan owners will begin Dec. 18. because that
group needs a different kind of latch that also fixes the
strength of the liftgates remote releasing mechanism.
Chrysler said latches are lolling off the assembly line at
a rate of 40.000 a week and that capacity will he doubled
by the end of the year.
The automaker estimated the repairs will cost $115
million. The crash tape — reviewed in advance Tuesday
night by the Associated Press — contains six low-speed
crash tests, four of ihem with Chrysler minivans and two
with minivans from other auto-makers.
Day of Action to rally awareness
By Aimee Swortz
Collegian Staff
A coalition of women organizers
have planned a five college rally al
Amherst Common at 4 p.m. today
to raise public awareness about
women's issues. The rally is in cele-
bration of the third annual
National Young Women's Day of
Action.
After the rally, organizers have
planned a march through Amherst
that will end on Haigus Mall al the
University of Massachusetts, where
a candlelight vigil will lake place.
The day of action grew out of
Ihc 1992 Fight for Abortion Rights
and Reproduc.live freedom
Conference al Hampshire College.
National Young Women's Day
of Action takes place in October
because "it commemorates the
death of Rosie Jimenez, the first
young women known to die from
an illegal abortion after Congress
passed the Hyde Amendment
which denies federal Medicaid
funding for abortions," according
to The Fight For Reproductive
Freedom newsletter.
limenez was a young mother less
than a year away from receiving
her teaching credential. At the lime
of her death she had a $7(X) schol-
arship check in her pocket.
According to the newsletter.
"She refu.sed to use that check for a
legal abortion because that would
have meant abandoning her educa
tion."
"Voices. Power. Choices" is the
theme of today's rally. Issues such
as health care, education, jobs, les-
bianism and bisexuality, childcare,
racial and ethnic justice, freedom
from violence, reproductive free-
dom and welfare rights will be
addressed.
"Many of the issues young
women care about are under attack
due to the hostile political climate
throughout the country. This day
of action is about much more than
our right to safe, funded abortion
without restrictions. It is an oppor-
tunity for young women to raise
our voices and to empower our-
selves to demand freedom of
choice in all aspects of our lives."
Guerrero said in a press relea.se.
Students from hundreds of col-
leges, universities and high schools
across the country are participating
in events planned for ihe day of

The University of Massachusetts athletic department
got one step closer lo Title IX compliance on Tuesday.
The Capital Higher Education Bond Bill which will allo-
cate $80 million dollars to UMass including 2.7 million
for athletics was passed by the Massachusetts State Senate
yesterday.
The money will benefit most of the athletic department,
but the goal of the bill is to improve the facilities for
women's athletics in attempt to bring the University close
to full Title IX compliance.
Title IX is a law that was enacted lo help provide gen-
der equity to collegiate athletics.
Assistant Athletic Director Bob Pickett was pleased to
learn of the bill's success.
"It is a great boost for the athletic department." Pickett
said. "Particularly for women's athletics to help us get
closer to compliance with Title IX."
Getting the astroturf surface is particularly important
for field hockey, since most of the nationally programs
have lurf. Several teams have refused to UMass at home
because their squads are nol used to the natural surface.
According lo coach Megan Donnelly, bringing in the
artificial surface is critical in ensuring the program's long
term success.
"It is probably the greatest thing for field hockty in
terms of long term success." Donnelly said. "It is great for
the women's teams who have been so good lor so long.
The facilities will now be as good as the women who have
played on them."
The women's crew will also benefit from the bill as
$204,000 will go to provide new shells, launches and
motors for the squad.
A sum of $610,000 will be divided between several
other projects, including improved locker room facilities,
lights, and a new softball diamond.
The bill was announced last fall in a State House cere-
mony by Gov. William F. Weld.
funds
continued from page 1
increase the UMass Building
Authority debt limit by $100 million.
UMass officials believed this
increase was the only way to pay the
interest on the loan they would have
lo borrow through the Building
Authority for the much-needed
repairs. The loan will be necessary if
the governor does not fund all of
the projects authorized by the legis-
lature as part of the proposed $200
million capitol bond package. This
package has been approved by the
House and awaits the Senate.
However. Rosenberg received a let-
ter from interim President Sherry
Penney confirming that student fees
will nol increase.
"Many necessary maintenance pro-
jects on the five campuses have been
deferred for years because of the
stale's financial troubles." Rosenberg
said. "The buildings need lo be
repaired and UMass may be forced to
lake this approach, but I am adamant-
ly opposed to student fees paying for
what the amounts to the state's
neglect of the university system."
The Building Authorities for the
campuses at Lowell. Dartmouth and
Amherst are in the process of con-
forming into one. Rosenberg believes
this will make the system more effi-
cient.
"Right now, you're paying three
administrations instead of one."
Rosenberg said. "This is part of the
streamlining effort of the five-cam-
put system.'

By Wendy Darling
Collegian Stoff .
On a university campus where
many undergraduate students feel
isolated from their f>eers. efforts
arc being made to bring together
at least one segment of the stu-
dent population.
The Gay Lesbian Bisexual and
Transgender Graduate Student
Organization was founded in fall
1991 to serve the needs of GLBT
graduate students at the
University of Massachusetts at
Amherst.
Between academics, teaching
assistantships and other commit-
ments, many graduate students
find it difficult to become
acquainted with their peers, said
Rosie Castaneda. co-chair of the
GLBT GSO. This particularly true
for students working in small
departments.
As a result, graduate students
often suffer from feelings of isola-
tion, said Castaneda. Such feelings
arc magnified among GLBT stu-
dents, who are even more scat-
tered through the Univensity.
The GSO helps to alleviate this
problem by holding weekly coffee
socials in the Campus Center
Graduate Lounge, said Castaneda.
Meetings are informal and allow
GLBT graduate students the
opportunity to meet one another,
stiare common concerns and. on
occasion, plan group activities.
"One of the primary issues is
being a graduate student and
being a teaching assistant.' said
Castaneda.
Many CJLBT graduate students
find it "exiremelv difficult" to
reveal their sexual orientation to
the professors they work with or
the undergraduate students they
teach. Many feci that coming out
will jeopardize their professional
relationships and possibly even
their standing within their depart-
ments.
Another aim of the meetings is
to let people talk about gay. les-
bian, bisexual, and transgender
events on campus and in the local
community. Most graduate stu-
dents live off campus and find
themselves "out of the loop" as far
as on- campus events and activi-
ties are concerned. Castaneda
said.
This semester the coffee socials
have drawn from 8 to 1 5 people a
week, but though this turnout is
fairly good, the group would be
delighted to see some new laces.
Castaneda said.
This Friday, from 7 to 10 p.m..
the GLBT CiSO will be hosting a
special reception in the Graduate
lx)unge to draw in new members
and share the concerns ol the
givup with the larger community.
The event is free and will feature
refreshments as well us a cash bar.
Regular meetings are held on
Fridays from i to 6 p.m.
Besides coffee socials, the
GLBT GSO stays connected
through a daily Internet bulletin,
which sends between 40 and 50
people information about GLBT
issues, events and general con
ccms.
The GSO has also helped to
spcinsor several events on campus,
including last springs Queer Fest
and this falls Queer Nations
Multi- Nations conferenct:.
Holyoke Mall beefs up looks for re^opening
■ Mall getting over 20 new stores ■ Union upset over mall cor\tract
By Amy H. Poradyu
Collegion Staff
HOLYOKE —The Holyoke Mall
is. as usual, geared up for Christmas
before Halloween. But this year their
preparations have been a bit more
extensive.
Over 20 new or expanded stores
are officially opening in the new wing
off Sears today, creating 750 jobs
and 250 seasonal positions.
The official re-grand opening of
the expanded mall starts in the morn-
ing, complete with "goodie bags" for
the first 5000 customers. 12-foot
stuffed characters, food sampling,
jazz music, and three demonstrations
on the latest technology in coffee
brewing. WMAS FM will be broad-
casting live. Confetti will rain on the
first customers lo enter the new
entrance on both levels at the point
where the new wing begins.
New stores opening tomorrow
include the anchor store. Filene's;
clothing stores — Structure.
Abercrombie & Fitch. The Avenue.
Cacique. Casual Corner, as well as
Kids R Us and Limited Too; eating
establishments — Pretzel Mill.
Munson's Chocolate. Cinnamonster

Select Mattress, Mastercuts,
Expressly Portraits and the Yankee

The mall, which was built in
1979 by the Syracuse. New
York-based Pyramid Companies,
expanded to 1.550.00 feet, more
than half of which is new. The pro-
ject resulted in 800 temporary con
struction jobs.
The Pyramid Company of Holyoke
invested more than $1.5 million in
highway improvements because it
was necessary to relocate Whitney
Avenue.
Once the expansion is complete, it
will feature more than 200 national,
regional and local retailers.
A few stores will lake longer to
open. including a 5.000-
square-foot Nobody Beats The Wiz.
as well as Lechmere. Successories.
Freedom Candle and The Great
Train Store.
Nikon/Minolla resprscniatives will
be at Ritz Camera today from 12
noon until 5 p.m.

Thousands ol shoppers have been
haniled orange sheets of paper over
the last few weeks as they
approached the Holyoke Mall. The
papers were certainly not adverlise-
ments or promotional materials —
they were a crime warning distrib-
uted by the local carpenter's union.
The Pyramid Company, based in
Syracuse. NY., hired 800 construc-
tion workers, according to Holyoke
Mall marketing directors.
However, according to Kurt
Stubbs. organizer for the Carpenter's
Local 108. a lot of these jobs were
given lo out- of-slaie workers or
workers from the eastern pan of the
state. Also, he said, many of them
were paid cash, and received low
wages and no health insurarKe.
Stubbs said those low wages
"undermine standards" in the area.
"Wc didn't get any of the work. It
all went non-union c\cepl Filene's."
said a woman from the union.
The Carpenter's local 108 decided
to do a little research on the down
sides of the mall, including clothing
businesses that use child labor and
the amount of crime that lakes place
ui the Holyoke Mall.
More than 20.000 pamphlets were
distributed about a particular mall
vendor that uses child labor. Then
the union switched over to the crime
pamphlet.
They wrote. "Last year on the day
before Christmas. Holyoke Mall
Security reported a man exposing
himself to children and a shoplifter
who was described as violent, crazy
and dangerous. Of course the day
before Christmas, at the Holyoke
Mall, also included the usual car
thefts, breaking and entering, and
recovery of stolen cars."
They got their information from
the police log published in Hello
Holyoke.
The pamphlet demonstrated that
41 cars were stolen front the Holyoke
Mall between May 1994 and
February 1 995. There wea- also four
assault and battery incidents, three
individuals found with guns or
knives, nine cases of malicious dam-
age to cars, three hit and -run acci-
dents and six bomb threats.
The Carpenters Local 108 implies
in their pamphlet that bringing
underpaid out-of-state workers to
Holyoke will increase the usual
aiiK>unt of crime.

For many students, choosing a major can be a
blind process, ofien leading them into an area of
study which may not necessarily be their niche.
Taking place on Oct. ^0. "UMass Majors Fair" is
a semesterly event organized by the University
Advising Center in its efforts not only lo prevent
instances of students being trapped within their
intended majors, but also to display the diversity of
the degree-granting Arts and Sciences programs
available.
The fair, held in the Student Union Ballroom,
will last from 6 to 8 p.m.
Clark University graduate Rani l.avy. a graduate
advisor at UAC. coordinated this falls fair and said
she wished a similar service had been in efftx't at
Clark during her undergraduate years.
"I, like many other students, fell into my major."
said Lavy. who is currently pursuing her Master's
Degree in education at the University "Guidance is
helpful."
Fellow graduate advisor Kris Wiener, a UMass
alumni presently in the midst of completing his
Master's Degree in education as well, agreed with
Lavy.
"I came into college with my major decided." he
said. "I would have appreciated something like the
fair. I didn't really krniw what was out there."
According to Lavy, the lair is growing in popu-
larity, perhaps best indicated '.>y the rise in the
number of departments reprcsentetl at tables - at
present, there are b5. an increase of 20. Nine addi-
tional academic services offices are alsvi expected
to appear.
The expansion of the event is also probably due
to UAC's increased publicity tamp.iipn. I aw said

In addition to the multitude of flyers placed on
walls across campus, there are also "table tents"
atop many dining commons tables, faculty flyers
distributed by University teachers and plannL*d
radio public service announcements.
Establishing familiarity and continuity are ihc
finishing touches, l^vy said.
"We're hoping student turnout will increase as
(the fair! btxomes more of a tradition." she said.
However, because of the volume ol departments
in such a small space, the fair has to be meticulinis-
ly organized Wiener said maps detailing the loca
tion of each tables in the hallr«.>oni will be prinletl

Wiener said he believes the fair is valuable to all
9.700 students in the UAC system
"We want lo give undergraduates, both undecid-
ed and decide<l. the experience to sec what's avail-
able to them out there." he said

Life in our Galactic Nation
Evan
Young
Imagine a future...
All humans on our planet Earth are huppy. Life is
goiid. money is plentiful, crime is low. everyone is
sman and fat and full of rich and starchy foods, liarth is a
happy planet
Then one day a bunch of spaceship> show up (just like
in "\ '"). Out of these spaceships step ■strange -looking
aliens from Mars. The .Martians are strange- looking
because they have parasol-like objects growing out of
their heads (it gets sunny on Mars) and four legs.
The Martian^ are \ery fast creatures, because their four
legs allow them more mobility than our two. but neverthe-
less, they are all captured and likewise enslaved.
Then one day more spaceships show up. Off of these
ships step very odd creatures. The
Satumians (from Saturn) have huge cranial
capacities (their heads are at least three
feet in diameter) and are very intelligent
due to the si/e of their brains. They are
more intelligent than humans This serves
as a constantly fleeting wonder to the humans, but we
have guns
So the Satumians are ostracized, their ships are taken
away and some are even sent to live in confinement in dif
ferent parts of the world.
Eventually, more and more aliens from different planets
show up on Earth The Plutonians arrive from across the
galaxy: they are a cannibalistic race of people who feed on
those of the opposite sex of their race The Neplunians
come, but they are so occupied with (he richness of the
Earth's atmosphere that all they do is sii around and
breathe all day. (Humans wonder about this for a shiirt
time, as breathing is so normal to us. Esentually. the
Neptunians become quite forgotten. )
All of these different species, plus many more, are in
sc>me way or another mistreated, or enslaxc-d. or killed, or
humiliated, or beaten or are subjected to anything else
you think might be bad. Everyone hales everyone cUe. all
the different species are always bickering about this and
that, and no one likes life anymore
The Earth has become a very unhappy planet, because
at heart we are a peaceful, open-minded people (so the
historians have said).
So one day. a human gets an idea.
"Let us create a place where all of these different
species can go." he preiiches on the internet, "so they can
leam about each other and maybe after they know more
about each other, they will get along."
His idea is good and everyone likes it So some people
decide to make a school that is adapted to the needs of all
the different species hor example, the Martians get extra

To the Editor:
As Monday's Daily Collegian
pointed out in a resounding way. the
University of Massachusetts commu-
nity, especially those members repre-
sented on the pages of the Collegian.
has little tolerance for any slightly
conservative views that do not
embrace the sacred ideals of political
correctness. I. for one. was happy to
read E\an Young's article. \on-PC
editorials are tix) rare in this publica-
tion.
The violent, panic-stricken reac
lions of letter writers, to whom the
Collegian devoted practically the
entire Op/Kd page, points to the fact
that this campus suffers from a mala-
dy far worse than homophobia or
sexism. This sickness that plagues the
campus is that of conservative-pho-
bia, an ailment which betrays every
ideal of those who suffer from it the
most. The pages of the Daily
Collegian are ridden with the symp-
toms of this phobia, both on and off
the Op/Ed page.
I find the condemnation of consei
vaiive ideas on this campus to be far
worse than the persecution of any lib-
eral idea, no matter how far to the
left it may be. Like Evan Young. I too
am sick of living in an environment
where one must walk on the sen.seless
eggshells of political correctness or
else be labeled a Nazi.

Silence is
detrimental
To the liditor:
1 would like to respond to the
Op/Ed piece written by Evan Young.
Mr N oung. I would like to answer
the question you posed If there were
no coming-out days or articles, if
there were no GLB groups, if there
were no gay bars or gay nights at
straight bars, if there were nothing to
set homosexuality and bisexuality
aside from heterosexuality. the place
we would be in precisely where we
were before we created these things
— in the place we were silent in our
own vilification.
The reason you are witnessing the
presence of lesbians, gay men and
bisexuals in society is not because we
necessarily want to fly in the face of
an often hostile mainstream. Rather,
il is because we must counter the
notion created by that mainstream
that we are pariahs — the "other"
that exists al the outemiost margins
of society. In our centuries of silence.
v*c have let a society of individuals
like you sieamroll over us.
What you are now witnessing is a
liberation. And as the word implies.
we seek freedom Ereedom to partake
equally in a siKJetv that we. too. have
supported financially, physically and
spiritually. We will not go back. We
will not nurture the ignorance of the
past. Coming out is the most impor-
tant act we can undertake, for it was
the silence that was killing us.

Congress is planning to cut $10.1 bil-

in the limited space available on the page.
All letters should include a name, address and phone number (for veri-

friends.
1 am really concerned with these
cuts, and 1 would like to encourage
everyone here at UMass. area colleges
and local townsfolk to please attend
the financial aid rally and march held
in Boston on Oct. 31 at Government
Center ( 1 1 a.m.). 1 have been told the
buses are leaving Haigus Mall at 8
a.m. This is a major issue that should
concem not only all students here at
the University, but also parents and
high sch(H)l students because it will
affect them someday.
If these cuts are made. I will be
one of the 500 that won't be able to
afford to come back here next fall. I
almost could not afford to come back
this year. I did not know whether I
would be here until the first day of
classes, when my name was called for
attendance.
The more students that are there,
the more Congress is going to listen.
This is a very important issue. If you
ever wanted to gel involved here at
UMass. this is the time to do it. We
all know how much the masked man
wants us to become student activists.
This is your opportunity to do so.
Please. 1 urge all of you to do as I
did. Call 545-0355. and sign up to be
at the rally.

Students needed to
attend rally
To the Editor:
The Coalition of Students to Save
Student Aid calls on all student,
faculty and administrators who are
concerned about financial aid to
attend a rally in Government
Center in Boston on Halloween at
I I a.m. Some 6.700 Massachusetts
students may not be able to return
to school next year if Congress
votes to cut $10.8 billion from stu-
dent aid. which they are planning to
do in the next month. These cuts
would eliminate the direct loan pro-
gram, drastically reduce the number
of Perkins loans, and reduce the
work study program across the
country. If you are dependant on
financial aid. know someone on
financial aid. or this just makes you
angry, come join students from
across the stale on Oct. 31.

long beds lor their heads and the Satumians get extra
wide beds for their big craniums. The school is called
"The Universal School of Adaptation."
Ditferent areas of special study about each of the
species are headed up by a representative of each species.
.Ml the "students" (they are really not students here to
gain knowledge as one might think, they are here simply
so their opinions of each other can be modified) must take
classes about the different planets and their inhabitants,
and are questioned on all the material they learn over
months and months of classes in a comprehensive
two-hour test.
They all pass. The system has worked and all of the
Martians, the Humans, the Satumians. the Plutonians. the
Neptunians and everybody else are now
great friends. Some fall in love with each
other and a good many interbreed, which
at first causes stinie problems. But every-
body is so at- ease with everybody else, no
one really seems to care.
The other parts of the world see how good the
Universal School is and lhe> mimic it with their own
schixils. There are a few problems, but eventually they all
work just like the first tine.
Because everxiine on Earth is now so happy-go-lucky,
they now start to have problem* remembering why there
was such turmoil in the world in the first place There are
no longer any distinct boundaries between Martians and
Satumians because of interbreeding. The intelligence the
Satumians once had is now lost, and the speed the
Martians had is lost us well.

liMks up from his plate at the cafeteria He looks around
him and sees nothing but a jumble of mingled faces, peo-
ple and shapes. He asks, "who am P' But he doesn't
know the answer. He realizes all of his life he has been so
eflectively mixed in with the crowd that he has no identity
lett of his own to speak of. In fact, he realizes he has
never even had an identity to begin with.
Where has he come from'' What is his culture'.' .All the
learning he has done has been about this species, or that
planet and none of it has included his own family, or her-
itage or species. He is a nonentity, without a background,
without a history, and with no one lo relate lo All he
knows in life is how lo gel along with others, not how to
be himselL
He has been lost in a sea of simplified, yet diversified
being.s.
"Oh well." he thinks. And the feeling passes, as he
keeps eating his cafeteria fcKxl.

Before 1 open up a hack forum on
my gocxl friend who called his moth-
er to come pick him up from some
two hours away to take him lo his
hometown hospital because he was
sick, let's just hope- he really is OK
Because with my luck, he would seri-
ously be sick. And I don't want to
put my fiHit in my mouth because my
foot stinks.
But as his mother
arrived and he left the
house, his girlfriend
and I talked about
limes we were sick.
As for me. I guess I'm
lucky. I've never real-
ly got so sick to the
point where I had to
go to the hospital. I
never once — from
sixth grade to my
senior year in high school — missed a
day of school due to sickt>ess.
Or maybe I'm just tough, invinci-
ble ... nah. just lucky.
I mean. I've been sick. During my
freshman year here at UMass. I caught
a bug that just about the entire campus
had. 1 can remember being good
friends with the toilet, or anything that
had a hole I could dispose in. I was
miserable I had no one to take care of
me. 1 don I think my old roommate
knew what to do with me. because as I
made gurgling noises over the small
dormitory trash barrels behind him. he
sat on the couch and proceeded lo
watch "The Ricki Lake Show." Must
have been a good episode.

And then you hear the stories —
how you passed out in the backyard
for two hours and nobody could find
where you were: how you were lean-
ing up against the house, the clothes
were already stained, and the police
had a spotlight on you; how your
friends jokc-d about putting you in a
lawn chair on your front lawn, com-
plete with a hat and glasses as you
were passed out.
I think the best part of the story.
liKiking back of course, is the fact my
mom found those clothes I wore that
night, untouched, wrapped up in a
trash bag.
Three weeks later.
One of the other truly memorable
sick-from -drinking nights was not one
of mine, but of one of my buddies. He
got real sick from drinking at a party
one night and so I had to babvsit when
we got hack to the dorms.
He basically held each side of the
recycling bin as if they were parallel
bars and in vomitting. he managed tii
pertonn a routine, with legs extended
straight up in ihe air. Every muscle
was flexed. I (bought he was Mitch
freaking Ciavlord. Hey, I was pretty
drunk myself.
He also went through the stage of
thai pre vomit spitting, which he
priKc-eded lo do on my friend's dash
board in his car. We made the tradi-
tional slop so he could hurl on the
side of the road and my friend's
droppc-d him - and me. unfortunate-
ly — offal thedomis.
Then I observed his gymnastics
routine. At one point, he was sitting
there on the couch, just drooling on
himself. I asked him if he was all
right. .Something jumped from the pit
of his s(t>mai;h to his lips in a matter
of seconds. His body was propelled
off the couch straight across the
room. Somehow he landed, about 10
feel away, with a hand on each side
of the recycling bin. finishing off his
routine with a successful mount.
Next, he asked me to rub his back.
Comfortable with my heterosexuality.
knowing he was my gixid friend and
hoping he'd pass out that very .sec-
ond, my fingertips just grazed his
back "OcHih. not loo hard." he said.
He did pass out shortly afier and my
four-hour sitting job had ended.
So while people were taking pride
doing the walk of shame that very
same weekend night and others were
staggering to yet another party. I was
being asked to rub my friend's back
afier he filled up the recycling bin
with his dinner.
There's thai Bryce luck again.

Schwagg
Schwagg.
lis a funny word. It's a word I say all the time
(maybe you do ttx)). It's a word my parents here
me say and ihey ask me. "leremy what does that
mean?" It's schwagg.
Here's a brief definition of schwagg and a little story
about how it became a part of my daily vcicabulary.
I first heard the word when 1
was around 1 5 or 16. Schwagg is
a way to describe lame, commer-
cial marijuana. Someone tries to
pass off a skimpy eighth of brown
weed on you. say. "I'm not gonna
pay $20 foi that schwagg!"
So I'd use the word here and
there, in reference to dope, but the
era of schwagg was yet to come.
I remember its arrival. I was at
ihe UMass vs. Rhode Island men's
basketball game with my friend
Nate when, during a lull in the
action, he turned lo me and in his
thick. New England accent said,
"I'm gonna call you schwagg
bud!" What a donkey he is.
Anyway, my friends and 1 say il
all the time now. I'll call a friend
up and say. "What up schwagg
bud?" Or someone will say "last night's dinner was
schwagg!" It's just a cool word.
Life is pretty gixid here at UMass, but there is a lot
of schwagg about. Here's a brief list:
The four semester language requirement of College
of Arts and Science students is schwagg. Republicans
are schwagg. People who only listen to Phish and Ihe
Dead (though they never admit it) are schwagg. The
drinking age is schwagg. Condoms are schwagg.
Uptight people are schwagg. Cops are schwagg. The
war on drugs is schwagg (should be officially changed
lo the party on drugs). Eire drills are schwagg.
Teachers with strict attendance polices are schwagg.
Now for the big three — Housing, Parking and E(kx1
Services.
Housing Services is schwagg. My biggest question is
could Ihey have messed things up more? What a joke.
Parking Services is schwagg. 1 live in upper Central and
have a purple parking sticker, but if I come home after 10
The four semester Ian
guage requirement of
College of Arts and
Science students is

p.m.. Sunday through Thursday, it's a minor miracle to
find a parking spot. So everyone double parks. Don't
expect any sympathy from the bureaucracy at parking ser-
vices. Instead of ticketing later in the dav and giving stu-
dents a chance to move their cars in the moming. ihey tow
and ticket early, and do it without mercv. Keep that cash
machine mllin' right guys? Schwagg.
Kood services is definitely
schwagg. Let's not get into how dis-
gusting and unhealthy the fiKid is.
Let's not discuss the dog fen >d like
odor thai engulfs you and swamps
your senses as you walk between the
pillars of nausea which frame our
cafeterias. Let's focus on how Ecxxl
Services creates meal plans, not lo
meet diverse student needs, but lo
shamelessly milk us of our money.
All the meal plans are geared
towards making you buv the most
expensive, the 19 meal plan. There
is virtually no difference in price
between the 14 and 19 meal plan
and on the lO-meal plan vou can't
eat on the weekend. Brunch is the
only meal that is absolutely neces-
sary, lust ask any of the legions of
^ ^ , hungover students on Saturdays
and Sundays.
The Off Campus Meal Plan is not schwagg I got
wise and got on it and now I eat like a king all over
town, instead of eating that schwagg they ti^ to pass
tor lood down at the cafeteria.
Whitmore is the moihernesi of schwagg around
here. Sometimes i believe there is someone resembling
Homer Simpson in some secret control room I envi-
sion him passed out. drooling on himself, covered in
cheap beer and stale donuts. with red emergency lights
flashing all around him.
So now maybe you've had a good laugh or maybe
feel vmdicated by my angry diatribes against the estab-
lishment. Maybe you are one word wiser. No need lo
thank me, jijst do me one favor. If you see anyone
resembling Homer Simpson coming out of Whitmore,
grab him and let me know. Maybe we'll get some
changes around here and be done with this schwagg

Things that go bump (in the night)
It's that time of the year again. Originally start-
ing out as a Roman Catholic Holy Day . — The
Feast of all Souls. Halloween has taken on a new
meaning for the non-secuUr.
It is a time of mystery and eiKhantment, a night
where ghouls, ghosts, witches and goblins take
over (he land, roaming free and basically scaring
the bejesus out of mortals. Perhaps the reason for
the this spirituals connotation is the fact that the
holiday also correlates with the pagan calendar as
well, calling to mind a more earthy spiritual quali-
t>
Believing the Unbelievable
But what does one mean by spirits, ghosts or
ghouls'' Do these things really exist. With pro-
grams like "The X Files" airing, it isn't too harid to
imagine an after world and an
after life. Things that go
bump in the night on a
Stormy evening could
exist. How many of
us have ever had
the feeling that
something is
right there only .
to whip around /
it /
Lonfron
empty
How many
of us have
felt a chill
up our spine when a black cat crtisses our paths?
Society has neatly placed such occurrences under
he category "sit^>ptrffilons" and Kike most siitieties
willing to embrace the more logical side of phe-
nomcnons, has chalked up spiritual sightings and
occurrences as heresy. It is almost as if admitting
something is unexplainable is un excusable.
How it all began
Yet it wasn't aKvays like that. In fad during the
Middle Ages siicicty was based on believing in the
supernatural. Peasant folklore in almost every
country had a way to explain unnatural occur-
rences. These myths or ghost stories were very real
to them. They carried charms to ward off spirits
and they wouldn't venture cnit into the night.
Shooting stars, eclipses and earthquakes became
omens or signs for another world that something
good or bad was about lo happen. Plagues and
other forms of sickness were attributed to evil spir-
its who inhabited the body. Priests were often
called to exercise these demons from the affiicted.
People soon sought refuge in holy objects beKev
ing the divinity of God would ward off any crea-
ture of darkness. This carries into today's society
with crosses, rosaries, scapulas and other small
religious articles.
Vampires
Some of the most feared entity in almost every
culture globally is the vampire. It is an undead
creature caught between the land of the living and
the land of the dead. In order to sustain exisietKe it
must feed on the blood of humaa^ to survive.
Thanks to the likes of Anne Rice, the vampire
has become one of the most popular creatures of
the night. Rice gives her character Lestat and com-
pany a air of mystery and charm. They are slick
creatures, devious and divine. They are cultured
and refined.
No so with many vampire of the old. In Eastern
Stories to chill & thrill
Europe, the place where Bram Stoker chose to
immortali/.e Dracula. the vampire isn't any of the
aforementioned things In fact a vampire is a
grotesque rotted corpse that staggers and drags its
self across the country side in search of blood.
There are no nice little pin pricks but deep gaping
wounds.
A corpse was most likely to turn into a vampire
if it lead an unnatural death or died before the per-
son's time in an accident or sickness. In order to
keep (hem from arising from the grave, corpses
were often buried In cross roads so the vampire
woukl be confused Often times the head was sev-
ered from the body and the mouth stuffed with gar-
lic. Religious articles were buried with the bodies
and sometimes bodies were cut into four pieces
and buried separately.
If people in a village were dying they would lead
a horse into the grave yard and it would suppoaedly
pick out the grave of a vampire. They btidy was
then dug up and examined, if it looked whole and
undecayed then it would be decapitated and a slake
would be driven through it's heart.
Witches
Witches are also a popular Halloween figure as
well as objects of folklore and myths. Perhaps the
most known stories of witches and witchcraft come
from Salem where they have made them a key part
of their history.
The Salem Witch trials of the 1 600s are world
famous. How many people have read The Witch of
Blackbird Pond, the tale of a young woman form
Barbados wh<i is accused of being a witch after
moving to a Puritanical Connecticut?
In the book, several test were listed to try the
young woman. One of them was a dunking test
where a woman was tied and thrown into a pond,
if she bobbed to the surface (he was a witch. If any

So do you know any scary stories? New
England's history is quite possibly the most rich
and involved history of any other region of the
country and its tradition of bizarre and unex-
plained stories is no exception. There are many
more tales that don't receive the attention which
such stories as the Salem Witch Trials and the
Lizzie Borden trial received. These are just a hand-
ful.
Vampires in Rhode Island
One of the tales often told of vampire activity in
Rhode Island dates back lo before tlie Revolution.
The story ri^olves around Mr. Snuffy Stukeley
and his family of 14 children One night Mr.
Stukeley had a dream that disturbed him. but he
had littie time to think about it. His eldest daugh-
ter. Sarah, fell ill and died shortly thereafter and
was buried in the family cemetery. This in itself is
not unusual, yet what is strange, thotigh, is that a
total of six more of his children fell ill and died one
by one, each complaining of strange visits from
Sarah during their ordeals.
When the seventh became ill and complained of
the same symptoms, the theory was formed that
Sarah had to be a vampire and a pilgrimage was
made to her Also, the other children's graves were
made and the bodies were exhumed.
What was found confirmed any theories rcgar
ing Sarah. While the other children's bodies were
far along in the decomposition process, Sarah's
was not. In fact, she had grown hair and nails
in the interim and fresh blood was
foutid in hw vains ttfl in spite of the factj
she was the first lo die) Her heart was therefore
burned to prevent any further deaths — and it
worked.
Mr. Stukeley had lost half of his 14 children
And what of his dream? Well, in the dream, Mr.
Stukeley lost half of his orchard.
The Lady in Black
Now let's turn our attention up the coast to
Boston, particularly George's Island in the middle
of Boston Harbor.
It is here that during the Civil War was a Union
fortification known as
Fort Warren and the
location of many
Confederate
prisoners of
war were
held in
what was
called the
"Corridor of Dungeons.*
Among the Confederate soldiers being held at Ft.
Warren was Andrew Lanier. Lanier was from
Georgia and had been married just two days before
leaving to serve In the army, just a few months
before being captured and sent to Warren.
Upon hearing of his capture, his wife became
obsessed with rescuing him herself. With the help
of some Southern sympathizers and armed only
with a pistol and a pick, she made her way to the
island and into the prison to the arms of her hus-
band.
Over the next few weeks the men utilized the
pick to dig a tunnel and when the time came to dig
upward, they struck a wall. This revealed their
plans to the guards and they quickly entered the
dungeons and called the prisoners out of the tun-
nel.
Once the head count was correct, the girl
crawled out of the tunnel to sneak up on the Union
men. but her plan backfired and instead she ended
up dropping the gun — which fired, killing her
husband. She was then arrested as a traitor and
sentenced to death.
Hung in a black dress found in the storerooms of
the fort, the giri became known as "The Lady in
Black," and some mysterious activities have
occurred leading ali the way up until as recent at
1947. That s when Captain Charles Norris was
reading in his library on the island.
Norris felt a tap on his right shoulder and when
he turned around, no one was there. He went back

"My mother called me the Beast,"
Aleister Crowley once commented on
his acquisition of his nickname.
Describing him as The Beast is
indeed an understatement for an it>di-
vidual who Hved by the theory of. "Be
itrrong, o man! Lust, enjoy all things
of sense and rapture: fear not that
any God shall deny thee lor this."
On Oct. 12. I«75, Edward
Alexander Crowley was born in a
small town on ihe English country
side. Even as a young boy he was
obsessed with sex. torture and magic.
He once experimented on an unfortu
nate cat to see if it really had nine
lives. Another lime a homemade fire-
work almost killed him He may
sound like your average nasty, curi-
ous boy but Crowley never changed
his ways to the day he died.
In 1898, Crowley joined the
Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn
led by the famed magician Samuel
Liddell Mathers. The group's consii
tution was based on an interaction
Mathen had with the Secret Chiefs, a
group of superior beings.
Crowley feuded with Mathers con-
cerning the Secret Chiefs and he left
the group to explore the workl of the
occult on his own. Several years later
he became convinced that he was a
prophet for Aiwass. the Holy
Guardian Angel. Crowley saw himself
as, "a messenger from tiie forces rul-
ing this earth at present." Aiwass
commanded Crowley to write down
his thoughts which were then pub-
lished in Crowley's work The Book
Of the Law. This literature provides
the fundamental basis of the man's
magic and philosophy which is
summed up as, "Do what thou wilt
shall be the whole of the l.aw."
One of the most moving experi-
ences of Crowley's life occurred when
he first encountered a piece of
Egyptian art that depicted a god
named Horus with a hawk -shaped
head. It was inscribed with the num-
ber 666 — the number of the Bea.sl
himself. In The Book of the Imw dis-
cusses Horus' role in the history of
the world.
The world has seen three aeons.
The first aeon was a time that the
world was dominated by women.
This was followed by the aeon of the
man which coincides with the birth
of ludaism and Buddhism. Recently
this was superseded by the third and
current aeon. Horus. the child.
Emphasis in this new aeon was "on
the true self in man as opposed to /
external authority, priests and gods." /
Crowley saw himself at the fore
front of a new world. He soon
founded his own magical society
called Argenteum Aslrum. the
Silver Star. Publication
of The Equinox sixm
began to spread the
philosophy of
Crowley And
Thelma
In 1912
Crowley met Theodor Rettit. Il
Crerman. who travelled all the way to
Ingland lo itmxI I'hc Beast. Ten yean
earlier Reuss had formed the Ordo
Templi Orientis, or Order of the
Templars of the East, an organization
concentrating on sex magic. Crowley
soon began a new chapter in
England
Due to the outbreak of Worid War
I, Crowley moved to the United
Slates. It was here he took the throne
of the new aetm of liberty. During the
celebration he crucifkNi a frog after
stating.
"Night being fallen, tho shall arrest
the frog, and accuse him of blasphe-
my, sedition and so forth, in these
words: Do what thou wih shall be the
whole of the Law. Lo. lesus of
Nazereth, how thou art taken in my
snare. All my life long thou hast
plagued me and affronted me . . . Now
at last I have thee: the Slave-Gud is
in the power of the Lord of Freedom,
rhine' hour is come ... Give thou
place to me, O |esus; thine aeon is
passed; the Age of Horus us arisen by
the Magick of the Master of the Great
Beast."
After the war had ended the Great
Beast returned briefly to England
only to move to the island of Sicily.
Here he rented a villa and set up a
temple for the New Aeon. The words
"Do What Thou Wilt" were scrawled
across the front door. This villa was
named The Abbey Of Thelma. He
hoped to form the temple into a
worW-wide center for occultists.
His work as the kader of the new
world decreased while his addiction
to heroin worsened. But his drug use
did assist him in the writing of The
Diary Of A Drug Fiend which was
written in 1922. Due to the unprint-
able text, the book was condemned
by the press.
Controversy arose when a visitor at
the Abbey Of Thelma died of drink-
ing contaminated water. His widow
sold the story to the press claiming
that the death was caused by

Mercury
In their native England, where the
Beautiful South are bonaflde megas-
tars, this greatest hits collection was
an unexpected smash. Released right
around Christmas of last
year, the album went to
number one within
weeks and stayed atop
the charts for over a
month. So. with
massive success in
Britain no longer a
problem, the obvi-
ous next hurdle for
the South is the giant,
juicy American market
Unfortunately for these
painfully tender and earnest bal-
ladeers. Carry On is not going to be
the album that wins the hearts of us
Yanks.
In fact, as a representation of a
group's best work, the songs found
on this disc are noticeably lacking in
passion, vitality, or. in fact and kind
of kick whatsoever.
Lyricist and lead vocalist Paul
Heaton is not really the problem here
(although his soft, overly-lilting
vocals are reminiscent of about 1 ,000
English bands from the mid-80s that
we'd rather forget — anyone remem-
ber Breathe?). Jacqueline Abbott
baby-doll drone on "Bell-Bottomed
Tear,* ruins what might have been a
decent song.
Likewise, Heaton's lyrics are Tine,
and often display a rare cynical voice
that is not found in most contempo-
rary ballads (and make no mistake,
these songs are all ballads.), but are
sabotaged by the monotonous
unimaginative arrangements of
co-writer and guitarist David
Rotheray.
When a collection of soft,
sweet songs about love
gone wrong are more like-
ly to put you to sleep
than to touch your
heart, it's a sign that a
band isn't doing it's
job. D (losh

Superball EP
Matodor
Over the past two years. Helium
has evolved from your average
sing-a-long girl-led pop band to
being one of the most creative and
daring bands on the rock scene
today. Their debut full length. The
Dirt Of Luck, released earlier in
March was a monumental work that
rivals any recent release.
This EP leads off with ■Superball"
an explosive and moving tunc that
was one of many highlights off The
Dirt Of Luck. The second song.
"What Institution Are You From"
shows yet another new side to the
band's ever- evolving sound with the
addition of a moog synthesizer that
pops up several times on this EP.
Add the moog with the creepy dis-
torted vocals of Mary Timony and a
hypnotic guitar/ bass jam and you

The Boo Radley's album is a disappointment
have the elements for one exciting
tune.
The last two songs. "$I2 L'Enfant"
and "I Am A Witch" are equally
impressive tunes. The former tune is
augmented by the newly-added moog
while the latter is a solo piece with
just Timony on vocals and guitar.
Helium are at the forefront of the
rock world reinventing guitar music
with every release. This EP will offer
the listener that rare opportunity to
glimpse at the future of guitar-driven
music. A (Mike Burke)
GREGORY GRAY
EuroBoke In Siiverkike
EMI
It is rare to discover an artist who
sings the truth without any added
bull, backed up by Euro-style music.
Gregory Gray's new album docs just
this with a few disappointments.
Euroflake In Silverlake. Cray's
EMI debut, is a pop album with an
idiosyncratic twist. The songs, which
are to-the- point and somewhat bub-
bly, reminds one of disco clubs on
the streets of Europe.
In a weird way, he coukl be com-
pared to Morrisset. with his dark
voice and exploration of deep emo-
tions, as on the mournful tune.
"Coming Off Drugs."
Overall Euroflake In Silverlake
gives a fresh and at times unusual,
perspective on life. At first it may not
fancy your style, but if you like jazz
to Euro-house, your musical taste
buds will be pleasantly satisfied. B-

Recently British rock stars Oasis
slated that they would be bigger than
the Beatles in five years. Hard to
believe, isn't it, but those un-fab lads
honestly see millions of pre- pubes-
cent girls screaming as if they were
the next New Kids. It seems all too
common for British bands to have
this obsession with the Fab Four's
popularity. Then again, they're the
Boo Radley's who know there will
never be a Boomania, but that
doesn't hold the band back from bor-
rowing a few Lennon-McCartney
tricks here and there.
The opening tune. "Wake Up
Boo!" starts with a 30- second a
capella vocal section that leads into
pure pop madness backed by a
three-piece horn section. Other pop
gems include. "It's Lulu." "Find The
Answer Within" and "Twinside."
The semi-hit "jocI" sounds exactly
like the lieatlcs circa 1967 with back-
ward tape loops and a three piece
string section. Then suddenly the
band switches tempos as the drums
explode into a hit-hop beat and the
guitar pumps out a funky deep
groove with distorted vocals.
Unfortunately many of the other
songs lag far behind in comparison
with past Boo Radley releases. Their
songs are still fun and catchy but the
tunes lack the orchestration and won-

Indie bands to invade Central
By Tara AAK G>nneily
G>llegion Staff
It is very rare that you get 10 see a quality show under
$5. but this Saturday you will have a chance lo see five
top- notch Indie bands strut their stuff for your viewing
pleasure.
University of Massachusetts' own The Mitchells will
open up the show with their light and quirky blend of
sliding riffs and hooky bass lines. The quartet recently
released their first single "Five Minutes' last month,
which is one of ihe belter singles recently released.
Second on the bill is another local act. Tizzy. The band
is on the verge of national recognition with their upcoming
single on Pop Narcotic, the Boston label that jump-started
ihe careers of bands such as the Dambuilders. Helium.
Versus and small factory. The band has been entertaining
local crowds for a couple years with catchy songs like
"Miss America" and 'Belly Vs. Veronica."
flailing from Dayton. Ohio. Honeybum will take the
stage next. After releasing a single last year the band has
gained fame for their hit song off the new spinART com-
pilation LemonLime.
The most anticipated set of the night will be by Holiday
a stellar pop band featuring recent graduates from Yale
University. This band, who owes a large debt to the
Magnetic Fields, is one of the most promising pop bands
around. After releasing three limited edition singles on
their own label. Tasty Bits, the band recently-released
their debut album on March Records.
Headlining the show will be Syrup USA. one of the
most talked about Boston bands. The band is best known
as an ex-Swirlies band, but over the past two years the
band has emerged with their own identity. Their debut 7"
"joic De Voy" has gotten rave reviews with a sugary sweet
sound that stays in almost every listeners head upon first
listen. Coy and sublime, their music recalls to mirid stones

Kevin Collins puts on excellent show
UM faculty member performs classical music for students
By Chris Milkm
Collagion Correspoodent
KEVIN COUINS
Benzansoo Hall
Od. 24
On Tuesday night, classical gui-
tarist Kevin Collins gave a solo recital
to a receptive audience at Bczanson
Hall in the Fine Arts Center. The
crowd was enlightened and enter-
taini-d by the performance.
Collins, a faculty member in the
Performing Arts Division, displayed a
wide range of taste of classical music
by performing pieces ranging from
Hach to Albeniz.
The concert started with "Estudios
Sencillo;. Nos. 1-10." a piece by con-
temporary 20lh century composer
Leo Brouwer. Collins than performed
a more popular piece by IS Bach.
"Sonata No.l. BWV 1001," which
was easily recognized by the crowd.
In between songs. Collins described
the composers and gave a brief histo-
ry of each piece which allowed the
audience ;o understand the music a
little better. He established a casual
atmosphere by telling jokc-s and ask-
ing the audience to shout out any
requests they wanted to hear.
After the intermission. Collins per-
formed pieces written by more
non-Western style classical artists.
The crowd seemed more appreciative
of the second set. One of the first
songs, "lulia Florida." by Augustin
Mangore Barrios a Latin American
composer, received loud applause.
"I thought lulia Florida' was soft,
and beautiful," said University of
Massachusetts student Catherine
Lombardi. "Collin's style gave a
warm interpretation lo Barrios "
A major highlight of the concert
was towards the end of the recital
when Collins playx'd "Eludes No.9 &
10" by Heilor \illa-Lobos. who is
known as the "Bach of lirazil.* The
piece combined classical European
styles with traditional Brazilian
sounds.
Collins ended the recital with
"Asturia (Leyenda)" by Spanish
composer Isaac Albeniz. The song,
having a complex transcription, dis-
played the range of styles and dynam-
ics that Collins has to offer.
The audience, which consisted of
mostly Collins' students and mem-
ber!" of ihc Performing Arts Division
gave warm applause at the end of the
performance. The recital, wilh it's
non-western review of classical music
showed Collin's culturcxi backgrouixl.
Overall the concert was entertaining
and a learning experience
An extraordinary
encounter
with another
human being.

Banderas beefs up bad movie
DeMomay talks to Strangers; Weaver chases a Copycat

Directed by Peler Hdl
wilh Rebecca DeMornoy, Antonio
Banderas
Playing at Mt Famis Four
Is anyone else Antonio
Banderas-ed out? In a span of less
than two months, the Latin lover has
starred in the B-rated action flicks
Desperado and .Assassins, joined the
Qucntin Tarantino-clique cast of the
upcoming release, Four Rooms and
graced the cover of nearly every
entertainment magazine on the new-
stand.
Now we have Banderas cuddling
up with a chilly Rebecca DeMomay
in Ne\'er Talk to Strangers — a film
not worth seeing, even for Banderas.
Sure, he's suave and sexy, and his
little Banderas-isms arc making their
way into the Schwarzeneggar "I'll be
back" Action Film Quote Hall of
Fame, but his dark and sultry eyes do
nothing to heat up this cold fish of a
suspense film.
To call Strangers a suspense film is
a contradiction in terms. Though this
genre seems to be her specialty.
Rebecca DeMomay fails miserably at
evoking any fear or mild concern for
her tortured character, Sarah Taylor.
Sarah is a criminal psychologist
whom we meet as she is analyzing
the case of accused serial killer Max
Cheski (played by the grisly Harry
Dean Stanton). Her sporadic trips to
the prison appear very unprofessional
and are filmed in a Silence of the
Lambs knock-off style.
In a crowded New York City gro-
cery store, Tony Ramirez (Banderas)
sweeps Sarah off her feet with his
extensive knowledge of wine and
then convinces her to visit his apart-
ment to sample some of his collec-
tion. After a disturbing visit from her
estranged father (all arrows point to
child abuse from the first look of fear
in her eyes), she flees into the com-
forting arms of the tall, dark and
handsome stranger.
Sarah goes against her belter
judgement and gets intimate wilh
Tony, despite the fact that she just
met him. After this first romantic liai-
son, she returns to her apartment to
have that afterglow smile wiped off
her face by finding a box of dead
roses and garbage on her doorstep.
The stalking escalates to her
receiving a newspaper-lettered note
with the words "Section b B" (It
takes this genius of a criminal psy-
chologist a few days to figure out it
meant "look in the newspaper,
dummy"). Sarah then discovers her
obituary printed in the local newspa-
per.
When she receives a giflwrapped
package containing her mutilated cat.
Sarah figures maybe she should find
out who is stalking her. Though the
answer, like everything else in this
"mystery." is glaringly obvious, the
film over- emphasizes several possi-
ble suspects.
First, there is Sarah's father, who
mysteriously pops into her life, obvi-
ously troubling her deeply. Then
there is Sarah's neighbor, played by
Dennis Miller (he's always the neigh-
bor these days, isn't he'.') who is
attracted to her and seems curiously
concerned about who she dates.
She suspects that the serial killer's
lawyer may be trying to put a scare
into her. And, of course, then there is
Tony. All she knows about him is
that he works as a security consul-
tant, likes fine wine and is good in
bed.
Who could it possibly be'' It isn't
very tough to figure out. DeMomay's
performance is nothing short of
awful, and her facial expressions
wouldn't scare a two year-old. Hall's
direction is sloppy and predictability
crushes the film.

lust when you thought there were
enough serial killer crime movies in
the theaters right now. Copycat
sneaks its way in.
Surprisingly enough. Copycat
scrapes up enough originality to be
suspenseful in this popular genre,
despite the fact that its plot 15 a copy-
cat of the blockbusters Silence of the
Lambs and Seien.
Sigourney Weaver stars as a yet
another criminal psychologist. Dr.
Helen Hudson, who has a severe case
of frazzled nerves. After giving her
famous lecture on the psychological
analysis of serial killers, she is
attacked by the latest psycho to join
the ranks of Dahmcr and Manson —
Darryl Lee Cullum.
Cullum is played by jazz musician
turned sometimes actor Harry
Connick |r. Though it is hard to
believe the soft crooning Connick as
a ruthless murderer, he does pull off
a decent, albeit thankfully short, per-
formance.
Helen's near- strangulation experi-
ence frightens her so deeply she

the psycho.
[director Amiel keeps pulses racing
as the pace of the film Is steady, and
the performances by Weaver and
Hunter are excellent. We are easily
convinced that Weaver has all the
acumen of a criminal researcher and
her fear of leaving the apartment Is
tangible.
Hunter Is a beam of light in the
dark film, as she is a tough, unemo-
tional, upstart detective with an
infectious case of optimism. Very
subtle in the plot is the beginning of a
romance between Hunter and
Mulroney. but as we all know, busi-
ness and pleasure never mix.

Visually, the film is not nearly as
disturbing as Seven, but it is the
viewer's discretion as to whether or

to his reading and soon afterward fell another tap on
his shoulder and again — no one was there. Suddenly,
the upstairs phone rang and upon answering, the oper-
ator was on the line and told Norris that he had just
talked to his wife — even though no one else was in
the house with him.
The whole incident was attributed to the Lady in
Black.
Buried Alive
This story focuses on the Howe family of Sudburv.
The family itself is credited with having a hand in the
invention of the sewing machine and building the
Wavside Inn in Sudbury, but this tale concentrates on
Mary Howe.
Mary held seances in the houses (the family moved
frequently) they lived in. She seemed to possess psy-
chic powers, conjuring up images of the deceased and
future happenings.
One of the many strange things Mary could do was
go into "trances." These trances showed practically the
>amc symptoms as death. Mary would remain uncon-
scious for days on end. virtually no heanbeat and no
physical changes to the body. It is what today we might
refer to as suspended animation.
In 1882. Mary went into a trance for double the
usual lime, two weeks and a medical examiner was
called to the house to see Mary. Upon examining her.
the doctor pronounced her dead and orderc-d a burial
despite the fact that no signs of rigor mortis had set in
and she was still warm.
A town-wide controversy ensued and finally the
authorities ordered the body removed despite her fami-
lies wishes and was buried. Objections throughout the
(own were so strong that it was difficult to llnd men to
help with the burial, but it was finally carried out. Of
course many stores and rumors hatched from the dis-
aga'cments over her "death."
If Mary was. indeed, in a trance when she was
buned. she most certainly died when she was buried.
But the question still remains — was she buried alive?
« « •
Those are just three of the stories that warrant atten-
tion, yet many other unexplained phenomena still
remain. There is the case of Wareham's Haunted
Violin, which produces much more than music when
played. Reports of doors slamming, doorknobs rattling
and other various noises have accompanied the violin
on many occasions.
The Newburyport schoolhouse, on Charles St. in
Newburyport (and now an actual residence) has a long
history of haunting that include everything from
strange lights and winds to unexplained bells ringing
and raps on the door with no one on the other side.
And have you ever wondered where Edgar Allen Roe
got the inspiration for one of his greatest works. The
Cask of AmontiUado? Well, not too many people are
familiar with the story of the duel that took place on
Castle Island in Boston Harbor in ISI*), It is said that
the victor of the duel turned out to be a liar who had
roped several innocent men into dueling with him to
their death. Upon hearing this, his fellow soldiers
walled him up (just as in the story) and wrote him off
as a deserter.
It is also not widely known that Poe. 10 years later,
served on the Island in the .Army and discovered the
story, only to be told never to lell it to anyone by his
superiors.
To say ihea- arc a lot of these stories floating around
would be an understatement, and all one has to do to
unearth them is take a trip to the library. So instead of
stealing kids' candy this year, try telling them some
tales.
Material for thii article wai taken from "Mysterious
Sew Difiland' a compilation of short essays by vari-
ous authors, edited by Austin Sle\ens and puhhshed by
Yankee Inc 1971. More comprehensive versions of the
above stories are contained within.

Aiih the rise of Mussolini led !> his
cvpulsion from Italy.
From here his life look turns for
the worse. Due to his controversial
material. Crowley had difficulty find-

work. His addiction to heroin grew
and grew . On Dec I . I«M7. he dic-d.
Ever since his death, a cult con-
cerning his philosciph\ has remained
strong. He is remembered b\ mans as
"The Wickdest Man In the \\orld." a
title that made Crowley proud. But
that has not prevented pi>pular rock
stars obsessing over his image and
ideas.

animals or children were hurt or got
sick, townspeople would testify that
the aside witch gave them evil
glances or passed by their house days
before the sickness set in.
Alleged witches were often asked to
read the bible or .subjected to a physi-
cal examination. Moles, freckles or
birthmarks were often seen as signs
from the devil and proof that the
accused was indeed evil. Pets of the
accused were often called changelings,
mythical creature that could change
form and aid the witch. Often
would-be-witches themselves were
aside shape shifters. The surest way to
kill a witch was by burning at the stake
or hanging. However other methods
such as crushing them to death under
a pile of stones was also used.
Modern day witches and covens
(groups of witches and warlocks, or
male witches) still exist today. They
have been segregated into two parties:
those that practice white magic and
those that practice black. In Kngland
covens were often prominent along
the lines where they were often used
to cover up smuggling operations.
The Paranormal
What is paranormal aclivity'.' It's
the more human side of spiritualism
and includes extrasen.sory perception
(ESP) and the things we call intu-
ition. Il"s that sense of deja vu when
walking into a room, it's the feeling
of beinf, someone t)efore — perhaps
in a similar situation or another life
time. It includes dreams and past
lives. In short — the weird.
Tales of ESP occurs often between
a mother and child. Perhaps a bond
is performed in the womb but tales of
KSP or "knowing" something is going
to happen happens even between
mothers and adopted children.
An example ol this is a mother sit-
ting in her kitchen and fcvling a sharp
pain in her ann. Two hours later she
gets a call from the hospital saying
that her son fell in the school yard
and broke his arm — at exactly the
same time she felt the stab of pain.
It's an adopting mother dreaming of
a woman giving birth to a child. The
dream is so vivid and real that she
remembers the exact time and date of
it. Then three weeks later adopting a
child that looks exactly like the one in
the dream and Finding out it was bom
on the same day at the same time.
But what about regression and past
lives'.' Is it possible for people to live
more than one life? What about the
movie Dead Again where a husband
and wife are bound together until her
murder can be solved and his name
cleared in another life'.'
There is the story of a high school
teacher who once tried regressing a
girl back through hypnosis. It was a
test, and a harmless joke. The girl
was put under and suddenly began
screaming. Later it's revealed that
she had "regressed" back to another
life where she was a young girl who
had traveled west with her family and
died during an Indian raid, she was
screaming because she had been
brought to the point in her past life
where she was being burned alive.
Ghosts
Ghosts arc harder to explain and
maybe even harder to believe in. So
many films and books have been ded-
icated to this area of the supernatural
it's staggering.
Ghosts are mostly defined as spirits
of the dead who. for some reason or
another, cannot leave this world and
venture into the next. Sometimes it is
because of a loved one they can't
leave, sometimes it is unfinished busi-
ness and sometimes it is for revenge.
Ghosts range from the gentle to
the violent and take on just as many
shapes and forms. Ghosts stories
have been around for centuries. Tales
of sighting and occurrences have
even sparked serious studies of these
paranormal activities, volumes, nov-
els, studies and TV specials have a
love affaire with these spirits.
Haunted Houses
Ghost are almost always associated
with haunted houses. Places the spir-
its once lived in and for some reason
return. Romantically, haunted houses
are places were a spirit protects and
looks over.
In studies of haunted houses peo-
ple have rtxorded sightings of flying
objects, mist like apparitions, strange
sounds, voices and many more. Often
times a single room is inhabited by a
spirit. If a room is overly cold or even
a comer of a room remains overly
cold, can been seen as an indication
that "something" is there.
Famous haunted houses include
The Tower of London where the
ghost of Anne Bolyn is said to be
seen walking around with her head
underneath her arm. The spirits that
haunt these places are scientifically
referred to as poltergeists and can be
physically destructive.
Haunted houses, ghosts and spiri-
tualism actually originated in
American during the 1800s and trav-
eled to Europe. Seances and ouji
boards became prerequisite for a
party and soon even haunted houses
became en vogue.
Do They Really Exist?
Behind every sighting, every study,
every myth and legend is a skeptic, a
person or persons who. despite over-
whelming scientific evidence refuse
to believe such things occur. That the
idea of haunted houses and ghosts
are nothing inore than fabrication of
the human mind.
So believe what you like. Scoff at
talcs of ghosts and haunting. Laugh
in the face of myths and legends. But
the fact remains is that all these
books and tales have come from
something. Exactly what is up for you
to decide.

turned in his apron for a police badge and plays yet anoth-
er Italian- American character named Tony.
The show, which also co-stars Lori Loughlin ("Full
House"), takes place in a police precinct fillc-d with social-
ly- challengc-d cops (one of whom talks to dogs) who are
pretty much down in the dumps over their love lives.
The dialogue is stilled, the jokes are cheap, the acting is
surprisingly bad and you gel the feeling really fast that
Danza should have stuck with cleaning house.
UPN's quirky show "Live Shol" is a surprisingly decent
offering from the fledgling network about the lives of a
group of people who work at a network news station.
Airing opposite "Home Improvement" and "Coach," the
show features a pretty big ensemble cast which makes it
hard to keep track of the inside-jokes, noi to mention
who is who. There's plenty to laugh at in this hour-long
drama/comedy and the absence of a laugh-track makes
the show thai much more enjoyable over the traditional
sitcom.
Cybiil Shcpard ("Moonlighting") returns for a second
season with her to|>-lwenty self-titled sitcom. The show
which originally aired Monday nights has moved to
Sunday nights to face heavy competition from 'Mad
About You." Cybiil plays a struggling actress named
Cybiil Sheridan whose romance life is bust, not to men-
tion the continual interference of two ex-hust>ands, a
boozy best friend and a couple of ungrateful daughters.
Alan Rosenberg ("LA Law") is ex-husband number
two. constantly trying to bond/cope with difficult daugh-
ter number two, Zocy. Christine Baranski is Cybill's t)cst
frieitd who can never resist a free drink.
While Shcpard is a little stiff (much like Candice
Bergen in the first seasons of "Murphy Brown"), Baranski
and Rosenberg are hysterical and make "Cybiil' worth-
while.

BLUE RODEO
Nowhere To Here
Discovery
Even though the album is entitled
Nowhere To Here, listening to this
album you often wish it would return
to nowhere. This Canadian sextet's
latest release deals heavily with life's
many ups and downs concerning rela-
tionships. Unfortunately, most of
these songs tome across in depress-
ing fashion. Such tracks as "Save
Myself" and "Flaming Bed" are just
plain too dark and moody for most
people to enjoy.
Of course not every track on
Souhere To Here is gloomy, there
are a couple up tempo tunes that
prove to be the saving grace for the
album. Songs like "What You Want"
and "Better Off As We Are" are the
more rockin' tunes from this country
band.
The big highlight of the album is
the guest appearance of Sarah
MacLachlan on background vocals
on three tracks. Overall Sowhere To
Here is an average trip that doesn't
really go anywhere. C (David Cachai)
IX^LY KID X>E
Menace To Sobriety
Polygrom
Few bands can cover Harry
Chapin's "Cats in the Cradle' and
Black Sabbath's "Sweet Leaf" and
keep any their fans. But Ugly Kid |oe
must be the exception, at least they
hope, since they are now back with a
new album.
The guys are older and wiser, and
as is often the case with hard rock
bands, they have gotten harder and
heavier. They use more distortion
and crunchy rhythm guitars to bolster
their sound and the vocal track is
buried beneath a barrage of music, a
blessing in disguise.
On two tracks. "C.U.S.T." and
"VIP", the band reseniLles the metal,
rap. rock fission of Faith No More
unfortunately the experiment fails.
Ugly Kid |oe wouldn't be a commer-
cial hard rock band if they didn't
have a power balled in the middle of
the album. The song is titled
"Milkman's Son." and the chorus
goes; "When all is said and done I'm
feelin' like the milkman's son."
Moving, isn't it?
If you were excited by the new
Nelson album, anticipated the Def
Leopard greatest hits collection and
await a new Poison record you'll
probably love this album, but if
you're part ol the other 99 percent of
the population then you're probably
won't. D (Fd Hurle\)
tJSA lOEB & NINE STORIES
Tails
Geffen Records
The big love song of the summer
before last. "Stay." propelled a lonely
unsigned artist and band into a cor-
porate bidding war for a record deal.
The artist and group is Lisa Loeb and
Nine Stories and the result of the bid-
ding war is Tails.
There is always pressure resting on
an artist's debut album and Loeb has

extra pressure to live up to since she
had a lop >elling single. Her dealing
with the pressure yielded mixed
results but few tracks have the
light-hearted sweetness and lyrical
cleverness of "Stay."
One standout on the album is
"Hurricane." with its string arrange-
ments and her narrative lyrics make it
a haunting musical experience.
.Another standout is the track "Lisa
Listen", she leaves her folksy pop
style to more of a country tinge.
"Gardens of Delights" offers electric
guitar .stops that are almost reminis-
cent of Fugazi. But on the whole her

mentation is mellow and acoustic
Loeb and company has produced a
very listenable album with many

these guys are a big ttian away frwn the
top.
6. Minncsou Timberwolves: Good
news. Kevin McHale has taken over
this franchise. Bad news, he's in a suit.
not a jersey. Kevin Garnett is the
NBAs Doogie Howser and if he stays
away from the team's resident goons
(Laeiiner and RidcrK he'll do just fine.
However, these are the Timberwolves
so don't get excited. Look for whole-
sale changes once the season ends.
7. Vancouver Grizzlies: Bryant
"Big Country" Reeves heads north to
a new country While V'P Siu lackson
was busy picking guards in the expan-
sion draft, he forgot something — a
power forward. Rodney Dent. Kenny
Cattison and Antonio Harvey don't
really resemble much of a frontcourt.
even for an expansion team. Reeves
will play behind lethargic Benoit
Benjamin, but will get big minutes as
the season progresses. Much of the
scoring will come from the backcourt.
Bottom line — see ya next year.
PACinC DIVISION:
1. Lo« Angclc* Lakcr«: Nick Van
Exel has become the man in L.A. As
the Lakers climb back to the top.
they have one man to thank, GM
lerry West. West has turned a club of
the past into the club of the future
using a solid, no-nonsense approach.
L.A. will win because they want lo.
They are hungry and well-guided. In
order for L.A to be the team to beat,
defensive rebounding must improve.
The threat of injury will force the
Lakers to develop a solid second unit.
2. Phoenix Suns: Ahh. the Valley
of the Sun — home to the under-
achieving Suns. Charles Berkley will
return for one more season, putting
the governorship of Alabama on
hold. It won't take long for Phoenix
fans to forget Dan Majerle as Wesley
Person becomes the team's hired gun.
Overall, this team has a good core
but no character. They should win
the division but if the Lakers click,
Phoenix will settle in at No. 2.
3. Seattle Supersonic*: The foun-
dation of this team has more holes
than Swiss cheese. Funny thing is,
they still have the ability to win 50
games. No matter what they do in the
regular season, no one will care.
Kendall Gill was finally deported
back to Charlotte and Sherrell Ford
could be a steal at 26 years old, yet
still no one will care. The only way
George Karl can save himself a trip
to the guillotine is if the Sonics can
make it past the first round of the
playoffs.
4. Golden Slate Warriors: As
always, the questions are not about
talent but about games played. No. I
pick |oe Smith is far from ordinary
and will start. Coach Rick Adclman
are not about to let team chemistry
get in the way of a playoff run. With
that in mind. the Tim
Hardaway-Latrell Sprewell feud v^ll
end in a loser-leave- town-match.
The only question is which one will
stay.
y Sacramento Kings: GM Geoff
Petrie is building a winner — well,
eventually. The frontcourt is loaded
with Brian Grant and Michael Smith
improving daily. With a solid work
ethdc the Kings will win a few games.
Their backcourt? The trade of Spud
Webb leaves Bobby Hurley and Tyus
Edney (both young and unproven) to
run the point. No question, the Kings
can score but can they play defense?
We shall sec.
b. Portland Trailblazcrs: Portland
begins its firsi scasun in the Rom;
Garden, its new $262 million dollar
home. Only question is who will be
playing for them. This team is the
NBA's own Home Shopping Club.
Gone are Clyde Drexicr. Terry
Porter, lerume Kersey and Mark
Bryant, once the team's foundation.
Hello Mediocrity. These guys will be
nothing but painful lo waich.
7. Los Angeles Clippers: Can
somebody tell Elgin Baylor to give
up. please? Not only did the Clips
bypass superstud Icrry Slackhouse
(who admiiied he wouldn't sign),
they traded the rights to McDyess.
whom they drafted instead. I don't
get il. Apparently neither do the
Clippers as they prepare to challenge
Vancouver for the Toilet Bowl.

N.D. has been playing some great
football as of late. Last week my
roommate called the huge win over
Southern Cal. "I never would have
believed it, bul il catiie true," he said.
The Irish rolled USC for a 28-point
win and have been getting great
defense as well, as solid offensive
play from QB Ron Powlus and full
back "Touchdown" Marc Edwards.
B.C.. on the other hand, is having a
tough season. The Eagles were
embarrassed by Army last week and
did not look much better against
West Virginia the week before. The
Eagles need more consistency on
both sides of the ball. A loss this
weekend sends the Eagles into a tail-
spin and all ihev can say on Chestnut
Hill is "4-8 " That's what B.C. will
finish this season \D 37. BC 19.
Nebraska at Colorado
Nebraska has C.U.. Kansas, and
Oklahoma still standing in its way
from a potential shot at a national
championship. Last week the
Huskers jumped all over Kansas St.
and rolled to a 24-point win. Tommy
Frazier has shown poise at QB and
Nebraska simply looks tough.
Colorado has been sharp all season
with the lone exception of its slip up
against Kansas. |on Hessler and the
Buffs have been pulling up great offen-
sive numbers and the C.U. detcnse has
been strong. Rick Neuhiesel and ihe
Buffs have the home field and will do
something they probably shouldn't be
able to — upset the Huskers. Colorado
38, Nebraska 35.
Kansas at Kansas State
Despite K-Siate's less-than-
admirable performance against
Nebraska, the Wildcats have a 6-1
record. Last week the running game
got going, going backwards that is.
K-State had minus 14 yards rushing.
The defense showed some holes as
well and that could prove lethal
against the streaking |a> hawks.
Kansas has beaten Colorado and
Oklahoma and is ranked No. 6 by the
AP. The layhawks 7-0 start is their
best since 1%8 and they are keyed
by QB Mark Willianis and running
back |unc Henley <
The 'Cats play with emotion in a
great game for football in Kansas,
but the layhawks stay hoi. Kansas 54.
Kansas State 24.

giaie career." Ahrenholz said. "But it
was really fun 10 score."
The Fordham defense was playing
an offside trap and they waited for
Ahrenholz to pass, which she never
did. She broke the trap, as was dia-
gramed on the blackboard and Rudy
was overjoyed al the event.
"I love Nikki Ahrenholz." he said.
"She's a greai kid who deserves that
experience and opportunity before
she gels out of here. It was great and
she couldn't have played il more
maturely. That was playing the off-
side trap lo perfection, without pass-
ing. They were wailing tur ihc
through ball and she read it and went
right in. set up the shot. She played il
the way il should be played."
After the ball went into the net.
Ahrenholz was hugged by every mem-
ber of the team, ihen turned 10 ihe
stands where her parents were sealed.
She flashed ihe trademark Nikki
Ahrenholz smile that seems to make
everyone around her fed good inside.
"When you see her smile you have
10 smile with her." Rudy said. "Nol
everyone has that ability. When she
smiles. I smile. I can'l help it."

Braves win, take 3-1 series lead
By Ben Walker
Associated Press
Braves
Indians
CLEVELAND - Even the Atlanta
Braves will be hard-pressed to blow
this.
The Braves, with Steve Avery start-
ing ahead of Greg Maddux, moved
within one victory of the World
Series championship that has always
eluded them, beating the Cleveland
Indians 5-2 Wednesday night for a 3-
I lead.
Atlanta, whose
postseason history is
filled with failure,
could nol ask for a
better position.
Now Maddux, held bacli a day to
rest, can clinch it Thursday night in
Game 5 against Orel Hershiser.
Maddux, the three-lime Cy Young
winner, won the opener with a two-
hitter.
Even if they lose, the Braves will
head home with two more chances to
win The stats are on their side, too:
Of the 59 teams taking a 3-1 edge in
ihe Series. 55 have won il.
After sixlh-inning homers by Ryan
Klesko and Albert Belle left it lied al
I . the Braves broke il open with three
runs in the seventh.
Luis Polonia's go-ahead double
chased Ken Hill and David justice hit
a two-oul. two-run single off Paul
Asscnmacher.
"Il fell really good because we
needed that because we know what
kind of learn Cleveland has." justice
said. "The more runs we gel ahead of
them, the better for us.'
Doubles by Fred McCriff and
Javier Lopez in the ninth added an
insurance run againsi Alan Embree
and sent a few of the 45.578 fans to
the exits at quiet lacobs Field.
A day after the Indians rapped 12
hits in a 7-6. 1 1 -inning win. Avery
limited them to three hits over six
innings. Greg McMichael followed
with two scoreless innings.
Mark Wohlers. whose 2 2-5-inning
slim Tuesday night
was his longest of ihe
season, look over in
ihe ninth with a 5-1
lead was tagged for
Manny Ramirez's
leadoff homer and a double by
pinch-hitter Paul Sorrento.
Manager Bobb>' Cox wasted no lime
in bringing in Pedro Borbon. who
struck out |im Thome and Sandy
Alomar and retired Kenny Lofton on a
liner to right in his sixond appearance
of the postseason and first in 19 days.
Lofton went O-for-5 one game after
reaching base in all six plate appear-
ances.
Not since the 1991 Series, when
ihe Braves held a 5-2 lead over
Minnesota, have ihey been in such a
good spot Thai year, they lost ihe
last two games al the Melrodome lo
ihe Twins, and then Allania lost the
1992 Scries in six games lo
Toronto.
Marquis Grissom had three for the
Braves. He scored the go-ahead run
in the seventh on Polonia's double
after drawing a one-out walk.
Avery, who earned ihis start with
six shutout innings in the pennant-
clinching win over Cincinnati on Oct.
14. managed lo avoid trouble despite
several well-hit balls early in the
game.
After working his way through the
lineup the first time and giving up
two hits. Avery, who is 5-2 career in
the postseason, did nol allow a hit
until Belle homered with two outs in
the sixth.
Belle had not swung all evening,
taking seven balls and seven strikes,
until lining an opposite-field drive
into the Braves bullpen in right.
Right before the pilch. Avery slan-
ed and then stopped his windup.
When he resumed. Belle hit his first
Series homer, a shot that sfemed lo
send Aver>' into a bit of a spin.
Eddie Murray, after thinking he'd
hit a double until being lold by sec-
ond-base umpire |oc Brinkman that
his grounder down the left-field line
was foul, walked on a full count.
Avery ihen caught his cleats while
going into his stretch, stumbled back-
ward off the mound and was called
for a balk.
Me went ahead and intentionally
walked Ramirez and. perhaps sensing
ihis was his last bailer, struck oul
Herberi Perry swinging on a nasty,
down-and-in slider.
Avery, having thrown 109 pilches,
was pulled after preserving the I • 1 lie.
"Steve did an awesome job. He
was under lot of pressure. A lol of
people were second-guessing (manag-
er! Bobby I Cox I." justice said. "He
did what we've seen him do a lot of
times."
The Braves came back to break it
o|)en and McMichael relieved lo start
the bottom of the seventh with a 4-1
lead.
Hill, who got to start because of
seven shutout innings against Seattle
in Game 4 of the AL playoffs,
worked out of jams all evening.
The Braves put a runner in scoring
position in four of ihe first five
innings without getting a run. Twice.
Hill pitched around McGriff and
walked him with a runner on third
before retiring justice.
When they faced each other in the
NL. justice was jusi I for 25 (.040)
lifetime againsi Hill. McGriff. mean-
while, was 9-for-55 (.275) with three
home runs off Hill.
Klesko showed NL designated hit-
lers could be effective, loo. when he
homered for the second straight
night. Klesko, the DH while Polonia
played left field, hit a drive into Ihe
righl-cenler field stands with one out
in the sixth for a I -0 lead.
Notes: Avery, who led the NL
with 15 pickoffs, kept Indians run-
ners close with a couple of different
moves.
The one lime they tried to go en
him. Sandy Alomar swung through
a bad pilch on a hil-andrun. and
Alvaro Espinoza slopped short and
was trapped between first and sec
ond ... Espinoza and rookie Perry,
both righiy hitlers, started while
lefties Thome and Sorrento sat
againsi the lefl-handed Avery.
Rissling
continued from page 16
moving him back to defense he
might be able to help us a little
more.'
"Dennis has looked very good
playing defense and it iloesn'i look
like he's too far off from game
shape." Rissling said.
Amongst the freshman who
could also compete for a job are
Weslminsier's Brendan Shaw, for-
mer Springfield Pic joe Trosky
and Thayer Academy product
lason Hurley. Although nol
expected lo immediately Impact
the icam. the irio possibly will be
looked lo further down ihe road.
Last year's freshmen. Norton.
O'Connor and Gaffney, were
immediately pressed into action
against the nation's top teams.
Especially in the early portion of
the season, their inexperience
showed as I hey were forced to
learn on the job. This year's fresh-
men will not have to face that
intense pressure from day one. and
will be brought along more gently.
"We have some freshmen com-
ing in. bul their role won't be the
same as the freshmen last year."
Rissling said. "The freshmen last
year had to take a building role
upon themselves coming in. The
freshmen this year can just
observe and realize what has to be
done."
Angry Marino will likely return against Buffalo
By Steven Wine
Associated Press
DAVIE, Ra. — A bruiscxi hip and three consecu-
tive losses have left Dan Marino sore.
Surrounded at his locker Wednesday by 20
reporters and cameramen, Marino grimaced, glared
and grilled his teeth while answering questions
about his likely return to the lineup Sunday againsi
Buffalo. The Miami Dolphins' quarterback
appeared angry, and he is.
"I'm upset with the fact we're 4-5," he said. "I
really believe we're a team that should be 7-0."
Miami was 4-0 when Marino hurl his hip and
tore cartilage in his right knee Oct. 8 againsi
Indianapolis. The Dolphins lost that game,
which Marino finished, and the next two. which
he missed. Marino practiced Wednesday lor the
first time since being hurt. \it: looked rusty and
is listed as questionable lor the game againsi
AFC East rival Buffalo (5-2). but he expects to
play.
"I don'i feel as good as I did at the beginning of
the season, that's for sure." said Marino. 54. "I'm
nol as healthy as I want to be. I've jusi got lo go
and that's the way it is."
Marino knows thai ihe Dolphins need him on
the field. They've lost the past seven games he
didn'i start. "To see your team leader come back is
going lo be an inspiration to both ihe offense and
defense." receiver O.j. McDuffie said. "I ihink it's
going to be the lift this team ncx^ds."
Bemie Kosar startc-d in place of Marino, throw-
ing five interceptions and losing two fumbles in
losses lo New Orleans and ihe New York jels. both
last -place teams.
Marino bristled Wednesday al questions about
Ihe offensive line and team unity. But when asked
if he's angry, Marino tried lo smile.

attention - Right? You can do the sanne thing by
simply coming down to the Collegian, talking to
Chris Conner (our wonderful, over-worked news
editor), and telling him you want to write news

Bonneau will lead an experienced offensive unit
By AAott Vautour
Collegian Slott
When ihe> came into the ieiigue a
year ago. ihev thoughi ihey knew
what to expect, .\fter tearing through
the schedule of mostly Division II
and III schoiils two years ago. the for-
wards on the Massachusetts men's
hockey leatn thought they would
have similar success last year in the
Hockey East
They were mistaken Not used to
the physical play that comes night in
and night out. the Minutemen strug-
gled to put the puck in the net at
times.
But going into the I9'15-96 cam-
paign, the Minutemen do know v^hai
to expect. They look last year's strug-
gles to heart and came back stronger.
With a year's more experience, they
have high aspirations.
"I think we all know what we're
expecting." said junior forward
Rob Bonneau. "This year we know
how hard it is to play every game
in Hockey East and how we're
going to just have to come out and
play."
Last year's team MVP. Bonneau
will be expected to carry a hefty --hare
of the offensive load yet again, as he'>
led the Minutemen in scoring the
past two seasons He will combine
with Warren Norris and Blair Wagar
to form the team's top offensive unit.
Bonneau. who has had considerable
experience with Norris, said the
pair can anticipate each other on
the ice.
"Playing with Warren Norris. I see
where he is every step of the way,"
Bonneau said. "He throws the puck
and know^ I'm going to be there
Thal'^ definitely something that hap-
pens when you're establishing a
team."
ludging by the end of last season,
the second unit could be a potent
one. a-> well.
Senior alternate captain Mike
Evans will play in between fellow
senior Sal Manganaro and junior
Ti-'in Perry Maganaru said because it
is the final year for the seniors, they
have extra incentive to be successful.
"This is our last opportunity, the
last go around. We're going to come
every night ready to play." said
Manganaro. who thinks the
Minutemen could surprise petiple this
year "Realistically , I don't see why
we cant be third or fourth in the
league Merrimack. Lowell.
Providence and teams like that, I
think we can lake two out of three
games. If we win games that we put
ourselves in an opportunity lo win.
we'll see what we can do.
"We're expecting a lot more than
people might think. Coach ||oe
MallenI has set goals of doubling our
wins and doubling our wins in
Hockey East, but I think our players
have much higher expectations than
that."
While most onlookers felt that
Massachusetts' first two lines could
hold its own in the conference, the
third and fourth lines tended to
struggle. Mallen said this year will be
different.
"Thiv year our third and fourth
lines are much more capable of play-
ing with the third and fourth lines of
the other teams."
On the third line. Massachusetts
will benefit from having a full year of
senior |on lacques. A transfer from
Boston University, lacques was not
eligible until the second semester last
year. He will be joined by judd Smith
and Dean Campanale.
"It's nice to start from the begin-
ning, instead of coming in midsea-
son," said lacques, whose versatility
has made him valuable. "I think
they're looking for me to work hard,
lead the team a little bit and con-
tribute to the offense as much as I
can."
Sophomore Dan |uden. a sixth
round pick of the Tampa Bay
Lightning, saw limited action a year
ago but is expected to see more time
this season. The 6-foot- 5 -inch for-
ward will get a chance to shine cen-
tering Gerry Cahill and Chris
Eawcett. So far. Mallen is pleased
with what he's seen.
"Last year when he came in. he
had real good hands." Mallen said
"But he was behind everybody in
conditioning, behind everybody in
strength. He's really improved. We're
hoping he's going to be able to come
out and compete and make a contri-
bution right away."
Another new face who will likely
ease his way into the Massachusetts
lineup is freshman forward Steve
MacKinnon. At 6-foot-5-inch. 215
pounds, the Chelmsford-native is a
presence, but Mallen said he needs
to fine-tune his defense before his
contributions match his size.
"Of the new players, Steve
MacKinnon has probably the best
chance to make an impact." Mallen
said. "He needs to learn the defensive
part of the game and the position-
ing."
While MacKinnon admits he's
learning, he feels the stan has been a
positive one.
"It's going pretty well." he said. 'It
look me a little while to get used to
ihe pace. It's a little more physical
than what I'm used to. but the play-
ers and coaches have been great so
I'm looking forward to it."
Mallen said the fact that the fresh-
men have a chance to develop now
instead of being thrust in right away
is a sign that the program is emerg-
ing.
"We thought we brought in a pret-
ty giKxl freshman class." Mallen said.
"But if they're having a hard time get-
ting into the lineup, it means we're a
deeper team."
]aynen Rissling heads up a stronger defense
Rob Bonneau hopes to continue his offensive leadership for the
Minutemen this season.
By Leigh Torfain
Collegian Staff
Losing only Brian Corcoran to
graduation. Massachusetts' hc^key
defensive corps stand poised to bol-
ster ihe Minutemen in its 1995-%
campaign.
The Minutemen tiK)k their lumps
during their inaugural season in the
elite HiK'key East, as they led the
league in goals allowed
With a year of playing together,
the unit has bonded and will be a
focal point of the UMass gameplan
fcir this season.
'There's better ctmimunicaiion."
senior defenseman and team cap-
lain laynen Ris>ling said. "Because
we're a year older, we have a better
sense of who we like lo play with
and you have a better feel for your
linemate. That's going to help us
this year, with a year under our
belt.
"Everybody's gotten stronger
physically, mentally and I think it's
all going to add up. The defensive
core will be a lot stronger this year
than it was last year "
Rissling himself will play a big
role in how well goalkeepers Brian
Regan. Dave Kilduff and Rich
Moriarty are protected this season.
A captain for three years. Rissling is
the senior man on the unit and will
be its leader.
lunior Dale Hooper will likely be
paired with Rissling this season.
Hcx>per provided one of last sea-
son's highlights as he scored a
game-winning, power-play goal
with just 1:40 remaining in UMass'
upset playoff win at Boston College.
Last year Hooper tied with
Corcoran and Tiger Holland for the
team lead in goals by a defenseman,
with three, and was first amongst
defensemcn with 10 points.
Sophomores Brad Norton and
Tom O'Connor will also form a
blue line tandem for the upcoming
season.
Norton needs to keep his cool
and coiKentrate on simply playing
this season. In 1994-95 he set a
school record for penalty minutes in
a season, despite missing two weeks
with a concussion suffered Feb. 17
in a game at U Mass-Lowell.
O'Connor, a former Springfield
Pic. returns to UMass this season
after a great showing this summer
at the U.S. Olympic Festival, where
he was the sole Minuteman compet-
ing. O'Connor proved to be a
steady defenseman with solid skills
in his freshman season and should
improve his game even more this
year.
Sophomore Mike Caffney and
Holland, a junior, are expected to
make up UMass' third line of
defense,
Caffney is a steady, consistent
defenseman who showed great
poise in his freshman season.
Holland, meanwhile, has proved to
be a tenacious, physical player since
arriving at UMass out of Catholic
Memorial. The two should compli-
ment each other's strengths and
weaknesses well.
Senior Dennis Wright will also be
shifted back to defense after playing
at forward for the past two seasons.
Although he will not be in the line-
up for the first few games as he
adapts to the new position. Wright
should see solid lime as the team's
seventh blueliner.
"We've moved Dennis back to
defense." UMass coach |oe Mallen
said. "It's an experiment but
Dennis' assets are that he's big and
tough, nobody can dispute that.
He's a very sood passer and he sees
the ice well. We thought that by

Hola. hoops fans. Last week was the East, this
week it's the West There are a number of
up-and-coming young teams that will make the
Western Conference competitive as usual. However,
dominance is nol a given this year as questions
begin to develop about teams that once ruled this
division. This year most teams here are either a year
awav or a few behind Let's lake a IcKik:
MIDWEST Dl\ ISION
1 . Houston Rockets: True or false — Olajuwon is
hurl. True
True or false
— will the
Rockets
three-peal?
Depends on
Hakeem's
return.
Hakeem
missed "a
few" games early last season and report' indicate
that the big fella will be out in the early going Plain
and simple, with Hakeem in the lineup, the Rockets
will return lo the post -season as division champs. If
Hakeem is out longer than expected. Clyde Drexler
will be the go- to-guy on a learn with a weak front-
court. One question — for the longest lime the
Rockets weren't given half the respect they
deserved. Now that respect is guaranteed, will they
be hungry cnt)ugh lo three- peal?
2. San Antonio Spurs: Regardless of what David
Robinson Is saying, this learn will miss Dennis
Rcximan ^es, he was a distraction in the playoffs.
Yes, team chemistry will improve, but rebounding
and defense win championships. Rodman's replace-
ment'' The "ever reliable" |.R Reid — can you say
underachiever'.' With Rodman gone the Spurs are a
nice team ihal does nol have what it takes.
3. Denver Nuggets: If the Spurs can't gel iheir act
together, this team finishes second. GM/Coach
Bemie Bickersiaff grabbed headlines when he stole
Antonio McDyess from ihe Clippers. McDyess is a
monster, a raw athlete with a 47-inch vertical leap
who will carry the Nuggets into ihe next century.
The only weakness on this club is backcuurl stabili-
ty. If Mahmoud Abdul Rauf can accept coming of
the bench, perimeter defense will improve drastical-
ly. Definite playoff team, but il should be a year or
so before this club siarf- making some serious noise.
4. Utah |azz: Slowly, the window starts lo close.
The upcoming NBA season for the lazz can be
summed up in one sentence. Expect the |azz to
exemplify class, win a kit of regular season games,
send two players (Karl Malone & |ohn Stockton) to
the All-Slar Game - and nol reach the NBA finals,
5. Dallas Mavericks: Oh, if ihe Mavericks only
played in the liast The three I's need lo develop a
fourth, lason Kidd, jamal Mashburn and limmy
(ackson represent a solid future in Dallas Ht)wever.
there are still a lew loose ends. As a learn, the

Ahrenholz plays defense with a smile
By Justin C. SmMti
Collegian Sloff
By taking a quick look at
Massachusetts' Nikki Ahrenholz off
the siK'cer field, you will see thai her
demeanor is very relaxed and she is
always smiling. Bui when the defend-
er steps onto the field and the whistle
blows, she transforms into one com-
petent back.
"I like lo be happy going into the
game." Ahrenholz said. "I want to
gel myself pumped up and gel every-
body else pumped up. When it's
game time you have lo be ready.
That's what you have lo do."
"She's gcKid naiurc"d. she's pleasant,
very smart." Masvachuselts couch lini
Rudy said. "But when il's game time
and Nikki pops up, e\eryiine ii'-tens
She hav picked very giKxl moments lo
make herself be heard like good
seniors do Nikki has stepped up into a
position of responsibility, being a
senior and vhe's been a great senior."
The senior co caplain did not
always have the same altitude.
Though she fell good about coming
lo UMa^s, her first two years were
riddled with injuries which hurl her
confidence on the field, ak>ng with
her enjoymeni ol ihe game.
"I really liked ihe team," Ahrenholz
said. "I had been on a couple of
recruiting trips before {coming to
UMass) and I tell like I could fit it
here. I liked the coach and just
Amherst, the college town. It's a great
program here. The first two years had
kind of llown bv. but I started lo gel
my confidence up and just having fun
with it. I wasn't going out on the field
every lime and getting hurt.
Things were going good and the
past two years have just been great. In
other years, I was just happy I was in
there playing, and now. I want to play
well. I want lo win and I want us to
play tactically gcKxl. I realizx-d that soc-
cer was what I really wanted lo do."
I'or the past two seasons the
"I feel lucky to play
with players that are
that great. We work
together well. Most of
the time I Rudy I doesn 't
even name us personal-
ly, it i just the back
four'. "
- Nikki Ahrenholz
F.nglewood. Colo-native has started
all but two games on defense for the
Minuleworiien, and last season she
was named lo the Atlantic 10 All-
Scholastic team. But more important-
ly for the success of UMass.
Ahrenholz and her fellow defenders,
junior Erin Lynch, sophomore Erica
Ivervon and freshman Amanda
Thompson have developed into a
team of their own. limiting the oppo-
sition lo only nine goals on the year.
"We support each other well,"
Ahrenholz said. "If someone is mak-
ing a run up field, then someone is
sliding over to support. If someone
gets by me, I know Amanda is always
going to be behind me, I feel confi-
dent in all of them. They are just
great lo play around.
"I feel lucky lo play with players
that are that great. We work together
well. Most of the time |Rudy| doesn't
even name us personally, it's just the
back four'."
Being the lone senior on defense
also leads to her talking on and off the
field lo the younger players, making
sure everyone on the field is informed
and in sync with what is happening.
"We play a zone, so we are constant-
ly talking to each other, passing players
on." Ahrenholz said. "We understand
one another really well, so we play that
much better together on defense.
"Being a senior and co-captain.
Coach I Rudy) has asked us lo step
up. People come lo us with ques-
tions. It's good, and I feel a lot more
confident in myself being a leader."
Defense is a dirty and under-appre-
ciated job. On every collegiate soccer
program there are a select few who
chcK)se to go out and try lo stop the
opposing teams front-runners. "These
athletes have lo be lough and poised
to do iheir job effectively, though they
go relatively unnoticed.
Playing defense doesn't show up in
the score sheet and that is reflective of
Ahrenholz' numbers through her four
years as a Minulewomen. Entering last
weekend she had only three career
points, all assists. But she doubled her
career output on Sunday by notching
an assist and her first collegiate goal.

Senior Nikki Ahrenholz has been one of the leaders
on defense for the UMass wonnen's soccer team.
Phillips reinstatement is a mistake; Northwestern rolls on
Lawrence Phillips is again a member of ihe Nebraska
football team.
Phillips rejoined his team at practice this past Tuesday
and will suit in two weeks against Iowa Slate
You remember Phillips, the Hcisman Trophy candidate
who thrashed opposing defenses in the
first two games of the season and then ^^^^m^uK^ ^
was suspended from the liuskers ^^^HmSI I^ABEV
indefinitely following an arrest from an
incident where he assaulted Nebraska
women''- basketball player Kate
McEwen.
Phillips sal out for a month, then
received approval Ui remain at the
Univei-sitv as a student foHowing a counseling peritxl on anger
and a llnivei>ily proctxtling on the iticidenl. The University
clearance opencxi the dooi for Phillips lo rejoin the team.
Anyway you slice il. this is a poor decision and a major
mistake on the part of the football program at Nebraska.
Athletes in this society are treated like gods and are
given special privileges. Too many limes we cut athletes
breaks and give them second chances that the ordinary
person does nol get. By doing this we coddle sports figures
and lei them think they can gel away with anything. We
are to blame, but all too often the athlete abuses the situa-
tion. By suspending Phillips back in
September. Nebraska coach Tom
Osborne set an example which other
coaches on the collegiate and professional
level should follow.
Although the Huskers are undefeated
without Phillips. Osborne look a chance
that the Huskers might lose without iheir
star running back when he suspended
Phillips. Osborne put principles before winning games
and we need lo see more of that. Osborne has now gone
back on his decision and Ihe lessons that were being
taught lo all are now a mule point. Sure Phillips missed a
handful of games, but in the end he is still playing foot-
ball this season, which he shouldn't be.
.4
No one will really know if Osborne made this decision on
his own or was pressured from alumni and boosters. Either
way, this is a mistake and no true message has been sent.
• On a lighter note, how about the Northwestern
Wildcats This team simply continues lo roll. First they
upset the Irish in the season opener and then pull off
another upset with a win over Michigan. Now they have
jumped into the AP's Top 10 for the first lime in about a
million years as a result of last week's 35-0 shellacking of
Wisconsin, their first shutout since 1986. Last week's
win guarantees the Cats their first winning .season since
1971. Running back Darnell Aulry and Co. put iheir 6-1
record on the line this weekend against Illinois.

Elders sees need for
greater fight against
domestic violence
fty Laura Sdtmidl
Collegian Staff
HOLYOKE - Dr loycelyn
Elders, former U.S. Surgeon
General, spoke Wednesday
evening at Holyoke Community
College about issues concerning
public health and the need for
presention.
"I wani to thank you for the
things you do everyday and for
your supporting the
Womunshelter such as you have
here in your community," said
Elders.
The lecture benefited the
Womanshelter Companearas, a
shelter which provides safe shelter
and supportive services to abused
women and their children
"I want to thank you all and all
the organization for helping to
dispel many of the myths thai
associate with violence, domestic
abuse and spousal abuse," said
Elders.
Elders said that in this society
we hold a misconception that
abuse dcK-sn't happen that often.
"More than 2 million women
are severely abused lo the point
where they have to go to the hos-
pital or the emergency room." said
Elders.
Elders explained to the audi-
ence that it is often difficult to
detect signs of abu.se.
As an example, she told the
story of her best friend who lived
across the street from her. and
how she was abused by her hus-
band.
"One day. while my friend was
in an argument with her hus-
band. I witnessed him punch her
across her face. Her remark after
he hit her was that different peo-
ple have different opinions. She
was trying lo cover up for him."
said Elders.
Many limes, she said , we think
that abuse only occurs in poor,
uneducated, often black families.
"Abuse occurs across all racial,
economic and educational lines. Il
is about as frequent as child birth,
so we have to realize that it is
there," said Elders
Elders said thai women are not
the only people who are affected
by domestic violence
"Our children become the vec-
tors which lake the violence from
the home and out into our com-
munity," she said.
Teaching children to deal with
conflict in a non-violent way is a
means of prevention, said Elders.
"We have lo give of our trea-
sures that we are going lo make a
difference." she said.
Elders commented that regard
less about how we feel about the
verdict of the 0.|. Simpson case,
there is nothing we can do about
it now because il has gone
through our judicial system.
"We should lake what hap-
pened and use il as a focal point
because it increased all of our
awareness of this dreaded disease
within our scK'ieiy." said Elders.
David Picard. a Human
Resources .Manager at .Anitec. an
International Paper Imaging
Products Division in Holyoke.
said Elders tells the truth.
"Dr. Elders tells the truth about
reality in respect lo public health."
said Picard.
"The people in public health
need to speak up regarding the
issue of domestic violence." said
Brandon Stewart, a UMass gradu-
ate student in public health. "We
need lo support the public health
system and as a public health stu-
dent. I am going to do all that I
can to make it a system where
shelters and people can be
heard."
Pamela Baxter, another UMass
graduate student, said thai Elders
was a dynamic speaker.
"The lecture heightened the
awareness of communities espe-
cially here in Holyoke." said
Baxter "I would be interested in
developing programs which would
heighten awareness and also lo
acquire grant money lo support
the shelters. There is only so much
that the public health system can
do. The community at large needs
to become involved."
SGA takes housing to task
By ARison Connolly
Collegian Staff
The Student Government
AssiK'iation passed motions that will
make the University of Massachusetts
more accessible lo students by giving
them the opportunity for their voices
to be heard.
In response to the recent memo
from Housing Services which notified
they would nol be bearing the cost of
housing visiting students over
Thanksgiving Brealc. the Senate passed
a motion lo reverse this decision.
Senator Ashavan Doyon presented the
argument in favor of the motion.
"These students come over from
other countries lo see what the
schools are like here." Doyon said.
"International students are not able
lo pick up and go to India or lapan so
easily." Doyon said.
The Senate recognized that UMass
is already the second most expensive
stale university in the country.
"We shouldn't make il any more of
a financial burden for students."
Doyon said.
This year Housing will not allow
international and national exchange
students to reside for free in the
Campus Hotel, as they have in past
years. As compensation they will
nitempi lo make a list of area hotels
that will be available for the interim,
however students must be "prepared
lo pay for iheir own accommixlations."
The memo, written by Michael
Gilbert of Housing Services said,
"This policy is necessary because of
system wide security concerns, and
because of the rising costs of kxlging
a steadily increasing number of stu-
dents over the past several years."
Doyon pointed out that Housing
Services was left with a $1.2 million
balance at the end of the 1995 fiscal
year, making a $12-15.000 cut from
the budget lo cover the housing of
visiting students does not seem
severe.
Senator l^ura Ijjpez is an exchange
student. She stressed the importance
of reversing such a decree.
"I hope all of you support this,"
Lopez said. "Il is only fair that the
University lakes the bill for students
who slay back."
Gilbert was not available for addi-
tional comment.
The Senate also passed a motion to
endorse the Petition for Equal Access
for Students with Disabilities at the
University of Massachusetts. The
petition is led by Rick Malli. a legally
blind student who is frustrated with a
system which has remained indiffer-
ent lo his needs.
"I asked Vice Chancellor Tim
Robinson why after I 5 years since
the law was passed the University
still isn't accessible." Malli said. "Il
diKJsn'l seem like we're a priority."
Malli is nol able lo read documents
or use computers because the print is
tcK) small. He was not able lo attend
a hearing on his particular case with
the University because Ihe fliers on
campus advertising the conference
were printed Iihi small.
Malli has 500 signatures which he
collected over a four hour period. He
is hoping the politically active stu-
dent senate will be able lo pick up
the torch.
"If nc>lhing happens, I will have to
take action into my own hands,"
Malli said.
The Senate unanimously passed a
motion lo allocate $850 toward
Commuter services for the purpose
of voter registration. The money is lo
come from the Finance Reserves.
Commuter Area Governor Dan
Siskind and Chair Lisa Chiu present-
ed the argument that voter registra-
tion keeps students involved with the
fight to keep UMass affordable.
The Senate also resolved that il
would nol support the Commission
on Civility and Human Relation's
Turn to SOA. page 2
'Voices, power, choices' rally a huge success

CollegKm Staff
Hundreds of people participated in
the Eive College "N'oices. Power.
Choices" rally at Amherst Common
yesterday in celebration of the third
annual National N oung Women's
Day of Action.
The Smiffenpoofs, an a cappella
group from Smith College, set the
miKKJ for the rally by singing songs
absiul wiunen's strength and '•urvival
Although the day was created to
commemorate Rosie limenez, the
first known woman to die from an
ilk-gal abortion after Congress passc-d
the Hyde Amendnieni, the speakers
talked about a range of different
issues.
"Choice is about having the ability
to make free choicc-s about all aspect^
of our live^," said Aimee Guerrero,
the national coordinator of the
Young Women'^i Day of Action.
Issues addressed by the speakers
included: access in abortion, teenage
activism, education, eco feminism,
wonten and advertising, violence and
women and .AIDS.
Stressing the importance of work-
ing together, Sarila Gupta, a coordi
nator for the National Young
Women's Day of Action for Mount
Holyoke College, said. "All of these
issues are inter linked. If we are
talking about influencing legisla-
ture, we can't afford lo be in little
groups everywhere We need to be
united."
Vanessa johnnm. a ccK)rdinator for
the event for Hampshire College,
emphasized Gupta'-- point by con
necting the issues of abortion access
for poor women and education.
In order lo gain economic power in
a democratic soeiely. education is a
necessity, she said, limenez knew this
and refused to use the scholarship

The speakers and performers spoke
from a platform surrounded by grave

died from illegal abortions. On the
other side of the common was the
Western Massachusetts Clothesline

After the rally, the participants
marched through Amherst lo Haigis
Mall at the University of
Massachusetts to take part in a vigil.
Chants such as, "Voices, power,
choices" and "Women united will
never be divided" came loudly from
the marchers as they walked through
Amherst
During the march Lesbian
Avengers ate fire lo symbolize that
women's fear, sorrow and their fury
could nol consume them Before they
ate it, they said. "The fire will not
consume us. We will lake il and
make it our own."
Participants formed a large circle
when they reachi-d the lawn of Haigis
Mall. ,A moment of silence was taken
lo commemorate limenez and all the
women who have suffered because ol
injustice
The two purposes of yesterday's
rally were lo motivate people lo
become activists for the issues they
care about and to unite them.

Faculty approve contract over doubts, anger
By TrtKy G»«ki«
Collegian Staff
After two years without pay raises, the faculty of
the University of Massachusetts can now expect
their salaries to increase.
Approval of the contract came late Tuesday
afternoon, after a final tally of the votes was made.
Of the 223 faculty who voted. 208 favored the new
contract while I 5 opposed il.
"The contract seemed the best we could do. see-
ing how hostile the Governor and the Ll. Governor
were." said |ohn King^itm. vice president of the
Massachusetts Six:iely of Professors (MSP).
The contract pri>\ides a 14 percent increase over
the next three years with retroactive pay lo |uly
first of this year. Ratification of this contract fol-
lows a drawn out battle between faculty and
administration, which at limes was hotly debated.
Throughout the negotiations, there were also pcri-
ixis when the talks stalled.
"There was no movement on this the entire
spring." Kingston said. "There was some action on
this in )une and again in the late summer.
Negotiations always seem lo go beyond the life
expectancy of the existing contract "
Approval of the contract lefi snnie faculty feeling
dissatisfied and short changed by the lemis of the
agreement
"We had a really good contract at one point."
said Waller Denny, a Faculty Senate member afid
art history professor. He argued thai this new con-
tract is nol as gix>d as the previous one signed by
the Board of Trustees last year
"Who do we blame?" he asked in reference lo
the lesser ctmtracl. "Do we blame the Governor,
the Board of Trustees, iir ihe administration for
being a bunch of wimps? Or jdo we blamel the
people in our own union?"
Denny said universities comparable to UMass
pay their faculty higher salaries. He specifically
cited the University of Connecticut which he said
pays on average $8,000 more lo its professors than
diK's UMass to its faculty.
In addition, Denny said he consistently buys sup-
plies for his classes that he feels should be paid for
by the University.
"I spc-nd 18 Io20 per-
cent of my gross income
every year on things that
other Universities pro-
vide," he said. "Until
I UMass) has an adequate
budget, both faculty and
students will suffer."
Helan Page, also a
lacully Senate member
and anthropology pro-
fessor, raised the con-
cern of faculty apathy
toward the contract sit-
uation. She believes the
relatively low voting turn-out reflects this atti
tude.
"I believe there is a .small degree of disgruntle
meni," she said. "Worse than that. I believe there's
a lot of apathy."
She said faculty should realize the need lo be
fully involved in their union and lo view their
involvement as political action.
"I'd like to warn jfacultyl that without iheir par
ticipation. they may lose the University us they
know il." she said.
The low turn out was acknowledged by the head
of the MSP. I^conard Richards, who said there are
a number of possible reasons why some faculty did
not vole
"Some jfacultyl might have been expecting more,
or some might still be angry," he said. "I think the
numbers refiect -ome ambivalence because there
were a lot of people who didn't vote "
Kingston, however, defended the number of vot-
ers, saying the tum out was "fairly high for these
elections."
"The numbers are pretty clear." he said, pointing
to the majority of favorable votes.
According to Kingston, the contract is broken
down in across ihe-board base salary increases
and "merit" money awarded to professt)rs who
show outstanding contribution to the University
According to his figures, the contract is termed
in the following percentages There will be a 2 5
percent increase across the board for fiscal years
1996 and 1997 That figure will increase lo 4.5
percent in fiscal year 1998. In addition, the allol-
ment for faculty rec(;gnilion is figured at 1.75 per-
cent and 2 percent for fiscal years 1997 and 1998
respectively.
"The judgement of meritorious | status | iv made
by how well the professors are leaching and their
research." he said.

WASHINGTON — In a
momentous break with the past,
the House passed a Republican
balanced-budget bill yesterday
that would shrink the feiderai gov-
ernment, cut taxes and return
power to the slates.
Democrats battled to the end
against the measure.
The vote was 227-205. with
22} Republicans and four
Democrats approving Ihe bill.
Opposed were 192 Democrats,
10 Republicans and one indepen-
dent.
"I think it's the most deciiive

'Something Every Friday' gives
weekend alternative to drinking
By Tracy Geekie
Collegion Staff
Friday evenings in the Bluewall will not be the same
anymore now that Campus Activities accelerated the
entertainment level with its new "Something Every
Friday" (SEE) program.
The program features comedy, music and dance and is
open to students free of admission.
"I think [this program] is a little bit different and it'll
bring the campus together as a whole rather than as sepa-
rate entities." said Melissa McPherson. a sophomore nurs-
ing major involved in the planning of SEE.
Assistant Director of Campus Activities lose Tolson
agreed, saying the purpose ot the program is to provide a
social community for students that will occur on a regular
basis.
"Entertainment is certainly one |aspect|. but that's not
the primary focus." he said. "The focus is to provide some
predictability and some organization to the kinds of activi-
ties going on. We want to try to have one location so peo-
ple will come to associate Friday with the Bluewall as a
place logo."
SEE will continue through the end of the academic year
and will offer a varied line-up of events. Tonight, comedi-
enne Linda Smith will take the stage at 8 p.m. in the
Bluewall. Her act will be followed by the Kevin Costner
film. Water\torld.
Tolson cited the success of similar programs at other
universities as an example for UMass.
"This particular kind of project has been going on at
other schools and has gotten a good response." he said.
Also involved in the planning of ihe program is Lalanya
Brun. a senior sociology /psychology major. She said SEF
is an option for students that in the past has not been
readily available.
"There's usually not enough (events) like this on
Fridays that are free." she said. "It's for people who don't
want to go to parties and drink. It's an alternative lo go
sec something cultural."
Many of the upcoming events are cultural, such as an a
capella group called "Regency* and a lO-member
Nigerian music and dance company. However, Tolson
said he prefers not lo label the events "multicultural."
His reasoning. Tolson said, is because the word can
have different meanings depending on who is defining it.
"You can get three people in a room and you'll have
three different definitions of what Imulticulturalism)
means." he said.
Tolson refers lo the SEF program as "inclusive" in the
hopes it will attract a vride range of the student popula
lion.
"We'll be able to bring a lot of different people together
in a way that I don't think has been done yet on campus."
he said.
Last Fridays event featured impressionist/comedian
Rob Magnoiii. whose act drew a moderate number of stu-
dents.
Brun estimated the turn-out to be approximately half of
the campus center auditorium.
"It was the first event so I don't think we did enough
publicity." she said.
To remedy the problem, a questionnaire was distributed
to students to obtain feedback. Some of the questions
included how ihey learned about the SEF event and how
to improve publicizing upcoming events more effectively
"We got a lot of lips for future advertising and things to
do that would appeal lo people." Brun said.
SEF was bom of an idea over a year ago. but when pro
posed to the administration, was rejected. This was due to
other financial priorities of the University, according to
Tolson.
"The proposal for the project was written a- year ago."
he said. "Wc updated the proposal and resubmitted it.
That's when the committees within the administration
had a feeling there needed to be some more consistent
things (happening I on the weekends on campus."
Funding for the program is now provided through a
grant from the Vice-Chancellor for Student Affairs and
the UMass Auxiliary Services.
"A year ago. certainly I had every hope that (the pro-
gram] would gel funded." Tolson said. "With the funding
thing, you never really know which way it's going to go
until the money is in the bank."
Tolson said he is optimistic the SEF program will be
well- received by the students. However, he said it would
take some lime for students to become familiar with the
program.
"The reason is because the prngramming on our cam-
pus has been done by specific organizations that are
directing their event toward a specific group of people."
he said. "I think |SEF| is sort of a new thing that people
may be trying to figure out who's doing this and where
they are in relation to that."

proposed Policy on Religious
Symbols. Decorations and Displays.
The new policy states that any indi-
vidual or organization wishing to
place a private religious display on
public University grounds must make
a request of the University Landscape
Architect at least two weeks in
advance to do so.
The University acknowledges that
freedom of religious expression is
protected by the First Amendment,
however public institutions are pro-
hibited from endorsing religion under
the same statute.
University Policy Committee Chair
Phil Copeland led the argument
against the new University policy. He
showed the written polic7 is vague on
certain points, such as the definition of
a religious display and certain holidays.
"Il is in their inleR-st lo make these
things clear." Copeland said. "This is
a subject as sensitive to students as
religious expression. Clarity is very
important."
Copeland hopes the policy propos-
al will be sent back to the commis-
sion for review.

Biggest Halloween party
features local band Soup
By Tara MK Connelly
Collegian Staff
Get set lor one of the biggest
Halloween parties in itie Valley.
On Saturday night at the Iron
Horse Music Hall, International
Combustion Productions will pre-
sent the band Soup who will take
the stage amidst costume clad
party goers.
The five man band is no
stranger lo the Valley. The local
band has played the area many a
lime, always drawing a large and
responsive crowd. The band
began in 1995 in Montague. Mass.
These five jam-loving guys soon
came on to create an original and
trippy type ol music combining
four parts harmonic's, guitars and
frothy bass lines.
They began as u sung-orienied
band, but as time progressed began
to gel away from the long involved
jams and focused more on solid
sounding tunes. Soup has recorded
a seven-song vinyl EP. Prospects of
Lingucia. named after the sausage.
When categorizing iheir sound
many have compared it to that of
the ELagles, but still others call it a
collection of sound ranging from
artists like REM lo )oe lacLson.
F. Alex Johnson and Terry
Flood mix their electric guitars
with the acoustical one of Steve
Sanderson. Scott Brandon's bass
is thrown in with Paul Reynold's
percussions and you get a unique
sound that's light enough to keep
you happy, but substantial enough
to make you full — just like a
good bowl of soup.
Soup will be playing the Iron
Horse Sat. Oct 28 at 10 p.m.
Admission is $5 at the door and
costumes are required.

Jazz guitarist to entertain Noho
ByMottWexler
Collegion Correspondent
A defining name in the world of
jazz guitar, |ohn Scondd, will appear
this Sunday night at the Iron Horse in
Northampton. Scolield has been one
of the most influential jaiz guitarists
since his career began in the 1970's.
He first appeared on the jazz scene
working with big time names such as
bassist Charles Mingus and percus-
sionist Gary Burton. Scofield's major
stardom debut came when legendary
trumpeter Miles Davis brought him
into his band in the early I980's.
Alter leaving Davis' band, Scofield
began work on the Cirumavision
label which released his first album
Electric Outlet on which Scofield
expertly melded the finest elements
of jazz with the essentials of n>ck.
Since the release of Electric Outlet.
Scofield's style has matured and
developed as he explored not only
fusion, but delved into acoustic jazz,
rock 'n' roll and blues. At the same
time he played with such talent as
saxophonist David Sanborn,
ex-Parliament/Funkadelic drummer
Dennis Chambers and bassist Steve
Shallows.
Scofield continued playing in a
mainly fusion style throughout the
early 'SOs. during the height of syn-
thesized rock. At this time, his music
was based heavily on synthesized
sounds and electronic keyboards,
though his use of steady drums and
bass retained a sold rock feel.
In the late '80s. Scofield began to
explore blues and acoustic jazz styles
while not abandoning the fusion
trend. His style changes merely
opened him up to a wider audience
who soon began to appreciate his tal-
ent. One of his latest albums. Hand
live, is a marvelous representation of
his guitar prowess and arranging
genius augmented by multiple duets
with saxophones backed up by savory
electric piano and organ.
Scofield's talent truly shines
through in his soloing with lightening
riffs and melodic expression that are
sure lo impress while showing how
much fcx'ling and enthusiasm he has
for his music A true master of the
electric guitar, lohn Scofield is a jazz
name that has proven es.sential in the
world of music.
lohn Scofield appears at the Iron
Horse in Northampton on Sunday
night Doors open at 5.50 p.m.
Tickets are available in advance from

Travolta saves Get Shorty
Qangsters galore live it up in Hollywood
By Laura Stock
Collegion SloK
CnSHOKTY
Directed by Barry Sonnenfetd
with John Travolta, Gene Hockman,
Rene Russo
Playing ot Hampshire Six
Gangsters meet movie stars in
Barry Sonnenfeld's film adaptation of
Elmore Leonard's novel. Oel Shorty
lohn Travolta stars as Chili Palmer
— a Miami-based loan shark who
flics to Los Angeles lo collect on a
gambling debt and gets bitten by the
Hollywood movie bug.
An ardent film junkie. Chili pitches
his idea for a movie lo the man he is
collecting from — producer Harry
Zimm (Gene Hackmanl. Harry is a
luw-budgel horror lilm producer
who falU into debt when he ptirchas-
es ■ script that he hopes will save his
sinking career.
Hackman. who looks like he's
sporting a pearly while set of den-
tures in the film, plays the role of the
desperate director with a gritty sar-
casm that works well in this comedic
talc of crime and greed.
Harry gets all excited about Chili's
idea, and the two decide lo combine
talents and produce a movie. Chili's
ideas only go as far as his days lake
him. for he bases the plot of his film
on his adventures as a loan shark —
chasing a guy from Las Vegas who
duped an insurance company out of
some mega amounts of money.
Harry's soon to be ex-girlfriend.
Karen (Rene Russo) also loves Chili's
idea, and wants to break out of her
horror film B-aclress typecast and
help produce the movie.
So they buy a million-dollar
script, rewrite it, run around stab-
bing people in the back for money,
dupe other loan sharks and. for the
lead of their film, they try to get
Shorty — vertically-challenged
Martin Weir (Danny Devito).
Sounds pretty intricate, huh'.' Well,
believe it or not, there is even more
lo the multifarious plot, therein lying
the film's only flaw. The bc-ginning of
the film is so convoluted it is hard lo
differcnliale between the shylocks
and the movie producers.
The selling goes from Miami, to
New York, to Vegas, lo L.A. in a
matter of minutes, whirling by the
dazed audience. Somehow, as the
details build quickly, the plot devel-
ops slowly, making for a very slug-
gish introduction.
The confusing and drawn-out
beginning of Get Shorty is an exam-
ple of where a director shciuld have
used some creative license and
strayed from the book a little.
Sonnenfeld's strict attention to detail
leaves the viewer wondering where
this movie is going — but hang on
and il will get belter
Travolta's flawless performance
makes all of the 'Pulp Fiction saved
his career" criticism a moot argu-
ment. He's definitely on the mark
when il comes to playing the slick
gangster- wit h-a-sense-of-humor
type. Sure, he still struts around a bit,
calling to mind his Saturday Night
lexer disco days, but Travolta's Chili
Palmer is dripping with an attitude a
step above the Vincent Vega kind.
Once Get Shorty gels over the ini-
tial half-hour hump, the rest of the
film is smooth sailing. Funny, upbeat
acting and catchy lines propel this
film along until in culminates into a
perfectly packaged story with a
star-studded, cameo-filled ending
that can't be beat. B-f

British pop group invades U.S.
By Josh Wordrop
Collegion Correspondent
OA^S
fWhof'j The Story) Morning Ghryf
Epic Records
A talented young band comes out
of nowhere to take the British music
world by storm. Their formula is
simple: quinlessential rock 'n' roll,
shaped by Iheir working-class roots.
Their look (widely imitated by their
fans) is distinctly Mod. complete
with round-lens sunglasses and
shaggy bowl cuts. Signed without a
demo at one of iheir club gigs, they
produced a string of instant hit sin-
gles. Their first album became Ihe
fastest-selling debut in English chart
history. Less than a year later, their
second album is released lo massive
anticipation and the band lake the
next step — a no-holds barred inva-
sion of America.
In l<)64. all this might have btx-n a
way of describing the Beatles. In
IW5. the band in question is Oasis,
the five-man outfit led by the broth-
ers Gallagher — Noel, the lead gui
larisl/songwriter and l.lum on lead
vocals. In a year that has seen a son
of mini British invasion. Oasis stands
poised at the lop of the heap with
(What's the Story) Morning Glory'.
the follow-up lo the platinum smash
Definitely Maybe.
Morning Glory sees Oasis beating
the dreaded "sophomore slump" by
taking the elements that made iheir
first album so very good — memo-
rable melodies working
hand-in-hand with strong guitar
lines, an insouciant cocksure arro-
gance, and a classic Fnglish rock
voice in Liam Gallagher.
"Some Might Say." the band's
first British number one single, is a
perfect example ol this synthesis and
an Oasis classic in the making. With
a glam-esque electric blues intro.
the song begin in the slow laconic
mode of past Oasis hits like
"Cigarettes and Alcohol" and "Slide
Away " The song showcases liam
Ciallagher's tremendous drawl
belore changing gears for the chorus
which playfully laments the lile of
the urban Fnglishwoman In the
same vein, but less successful, is ihe
current hnglish single. "Roll With
il." a somewhat generic tune that
seems to have been tossed oil by
Noel Gallagher during his lunch
break.
Perhaps the best aspect of Morning
Glory is Noel Gallagher's new lound
sensitivity. Hinted at on Muyhe's
stunning closer. "Married with
Children." Noel's acoustic balladry
comes to the forefront on the new
album with two terrific tracks:
"Champagne Supernova" and the
lender "IXjn'l Look Back In Anger."
With a less abrasive and nakully voice
than his brother. Noel Gallagher is
perfectly suited to this unplugged
tune about living for the present
"Supernova." which closes the
album, alternates between the
acoustic and the electric, wilh a
ghostly echo on I iam's vocals as he
questions a friend. "Where were you
while we were gelling high'.'"
In England, where Oasis and Blur
released new alfnims within weeks ol
each other. Oasis seems to have
scored an early victory: selling more
copies in one day than Blur did in
one wcx"k. The real contest, however,
will likely be fought on American
soil, wilh Ihe prize being inlernalion
al super stardom.
Morning Glory is an astuundingly
sell -assurcxi collection of great songs
Pick this one up and you'll be able iii
tell your kids you knew Oasis when.

Mlinon Man March message applauded
Despite controversy, last week's Million
Man march brought attention to many
social and political concerns. Among these
was the issue of voter registration.
Whatever your opinion of the march's
organizers, most people can agree that the
emphasis on positive action, particularly
on becoming an active participant in the
political system, is an important step in
strengthening American democracy. For
the reason alone, the message emanating
from the Million Man March should be
commended.
• Young people and minorities are two
groups that have been traditionally margin-
alized in the political process. This nation's
leaders have largely ignored the issues
affecting these groups because there has
been no organized voting pattern by these
groups. Leaders spend their time catering to
the interests of those constituents who vote.
For people to make themselves heard, they
must go to the polls. Too many people in
America, especially the young and minori-
ties, stay home in November. In recent
years, organizations such as Rock the Vote
and the Rainbow Coalition have tried to
change this. Registering voters and getting
them to turn out on election day are
admirable initiatives and should be encour-
aged.
It is easy for people to think of excuses not
to vote. They're too busy, or they don't like
the politicians who are running. Many
believe that their vote can't change anything.
But if the Million Man March proved any-
thing, it is unified action can attract atten-
tion. Hopefully, the rally will give people of
all races a sense of empowerment. Only
through increased participation will issues
that are important to minorities and young
people be properly .iddressed in the political
system. The Million Man March was a step
in the right direction.
Exploited rankings lack a pattern
Refer
Orvetti
Before the fuoiball and basketball seasons even
begin. America's colleges go head-lo-head in a
tournament of another son. But unlike the NCAA.
the- ( 5 Vfu'i unJ World Report annual rankings of liber-
al arts schools would have us believe that it is possible to
rank an institution as a whole, not just its performance in
a single area. Also unlike the NCAA, the rankings use no
valid standard for doing so.
The is \eus rankings are nwre like an I.Q. test than
a box score The> purport to rank the inherent intellectual
quality of a college, using dubious methods. The rankings
cast a final number upon each school. These numbers are
easily exploited in admissions propaganda, and, until
recently, have seldom been questioned. Either you win or
lose. No one has critiqued the people doing the scoring.
This year, the academic community has finally begun to
examine the rankings with skepticism. This
insurrection began when the president of
liberal Reed College refused to take part in
the poll. Reed, ranked highly last year,
tumbled. US. Sen-s lamely explained that
colleges that do not participate arc severely
penalized.
That's right, if your school doesn't like US .Vfus, you
vs'ill suffer fur it. US. Sews does not report why a respect-
ed college like Reed has plummeted — it just degrades the
schcKil and makes money off the hit-and-run attack.
The US. Sews method is laughably inept. Part of the
process is mathematical — based on acceptance rales.
SAT averages, and the like (even U.S. Sens admits that
some colleges lie about these numbers, but the maga-
zine still goes by the school's reports). But the bulk of
the score comes from a survey of national collegiate big-
wigs.
This creates a vicious circle. If the U.S. Se\ts rankings
lor the previous year say thai Amherst College is number
one. and someone calls up the president of Random
College and asks which school is the best, of course the
answer will be Amherst. This explains why the same three
or lour schools have bounced around the lop spots since
the rankings began.
U.S. Sews is also a conservative magazine, so more
progressive schools fail to make the cut (this vear.
Go to Hell, Albert Belle
Tim
White
After the Red Sox were knocked out of the post
season race. I decided to root for Cleveland.
They're an American League team and they've
had about the same amount of luck as Bean-town.
Recently though. I've decided to change my mind
and sing the chant to another tribe in Atlanta, and
there is only one reason — Albert Belle.
Cleveland's super-slugging left fielder helped pave
the Indians' road to the post-season,
and pounded one nail in Boston's coffin
when he hit the tying homer in game
one ol the opening series.
'leah. he's good. His World Series
batting average is only a sorry .167 with
one home run. but that reflects nothing of what he did
during the regular season.
His balling average off the diamond is another story.
In Wednesday's Boston Globe, another side of Belle
WHS shown.
While she was in the locker room setting up for an
interview with Kenny Lofton, Belle went on a four
minute yelling spree at NBC reporter Hannah Storm,
shouting expletives with two 12-year-old bellboys in
I he dugout.
OK, ihe media can get on someone's nerves some-
times, but this is not a first for Mr. Hot Head.
According to the Globe, here are some other
doozies:
• Telling a fan in Seattle he wouldn't give him any
tickets because he was "loo funny-looking."
• To a Chicago radio reporter, "I don't know you, I
don't want to know you, and I don't want lo talk to
you."
• To ESPN's Lesley Visscr who was trying to intro-
duce herself when Belle blew by, "I don't care about
polite!"
• To kids in Milwaukee trying lo get his autograph,
"No! And slop yelling iny name!"
• To a Detroit fan who said, "I'm your biggest fan."
Belle replied. "I don't give a jexplctivc] about that."
What a (expletive I jerk this guy is.
Apparently. Belle is beginning to be one of baseball's
biggest blemishes. Someone should tell Belle that after
the strike, fans aren't going to be as forgiving anymore.
We have a similar guy like Belle in
Boston — on the field thai is.
He hits homers, he's dreaded in Ihe
line-up, his fans love him, he crowds
the plaie and he's a big boy. He's Mo
Vaughn.
Belle should lake a lesson from number 42. Not only
is Mo a dynamite baseball player, but he loves the fans,
and it shows. Plus. Mo's ego could easily blind him,
making him treat others with a lack of respect like
with Belle, but Vaughn knows better.
Do you R'lneniber two seasons ago when Mo told a
kid .suffering from cancer he was going lo hit il out of
the park, and he did? I do.
I remember when New f;ngland was shocked after
we learned Vaughn was in thai fist fight, giving him a
big shiner. Vaughn, however, was embarrassed by the
situation and we sixm learned that he got into fisticuffs
with a guy who was razzing his girlfriend. Mo is only
human — he doesn't intentionally go out of his way lo
hurt someone, like Belle.
Albert Belle is Cleveland's biggest embarrassment,
and that is no small leal. He puts a bad name lo the
game, and a bad name to baseball players like Mo
Vaughn.
Belle, you're nothing special.
Go Atlanta.

invented the rankings in an effort to slay in business. U.S.
Sews is faltering in its competition with Time and
Sfwswet'k because, quite frankly. US. Sews just isn't a
very gc>od magazine The annual rankings sell, and US.
Sews doesn't care il they are right or not.
And so. Amherst is again number one. Number one in
what? The idea thai any school is the best in all ways is
absurd. Right now. various lists tell us that Harvard is the
hardest schcKil. NYLI is the most politically active, and
UCLA plays the best game of hoops. Students at the
College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor. Maine, are the hap-
piest. They fetl they have ihe btsi experience with profes-
sors, the besi learning cn\ironment and the friendliest
social scene. But where is ihe College of the Atlantic on
the US Sews list' Certainly nowhere near the all-impor-
lani Top 2').
The Smith College Sophian rtx'ently ran
an insighilul. and critical, analysis of the
U.S. Sens list, while also very responsibly
reporting that Smith was rated number 10
this year By contrast. Mount Holyoke
College is treating its number 19 ranking like a rallying
banner. In fact, a banner, with each digit of ihe exalted
number painted four feet high, was hung from the cam-
pus center building. The Mount Holyoke Sews ran a
tasteless cartoon depicting a student representing Mount
Holyoke shoving the hapless Number 26 off a plateau
reserved for US Sews'i 25 winners (Mount Holyoke
was itself 26lh last yearl.
A growing number of people affiliated with schools
both on and off the list are rejecting il. Even Amherst
College officials have said that, while their rank is Hatter-
ing. il is ultimately meaningless. But if the "winning"
schools continue to use iheir scores as the centerpiece of a
p.seudo- nationalistic school spirit, the US. Sens rank-
ings will a-main an important part of the college evalua-
tion process. They will be profitable for the magazine, as
it sells the Top 2") schools the right to reprint the list
again and again. And still, the numbers will mean noth-
ing.
And furthermore, U.S. Seu-s knows it.

Mark Twain once said that, "whiskey's for drinking,
water's for fighting about " In an ideal world, we
would be able lo drink both the whiskey and the
water. Unfortunately, given ihe political climate of the
past 25 years, environmental advocacy has remained left
of center, and environmental quality further off the mark
Not since the days of Teddy Roosevelt has the thought
of cnvirxjnmental protection stirred in the minds of the
Grand Old Pany. Though it has been a long time coming,
prominent factions of House Republicans are finally
recalling Roosevelt's conservatism and are fighting for the
environment. In growing numbers, these individuals are
defying their legislative leaders and joining with
Democrats in advocating pro-environmental bills under
ihe banner of "Republicans for
Environmental Protection."
Individuals who have previously held
senior positions in Republican administra-
tions are speaking out, as well. In a recent
Christian Science Monitor article. William
Ruckelshaus, appointed by Richard Nixon as ihe lirM
Environmental Protection Agency administrator, feels he
has witnesstxl "careless budget slashing." and "the most
violent anti-cnvironmenial rhetoric in recent memory
coming from Congress."
Speaking to the Environmental Law Institute in
Washington. Ruckelshaus said. "It almost seems as if
many members of Congress believe that environmental
protection is nothing but an aspect of liberalism, and
since liberalism is discredited, we can happily return to
converting every environmental value we have left into
ready cash."
The new shade of green evident in some GOP lawmak-
ers is demonstrated as they .struggle to protect endangerc-d
species, strengthen clean water legislation, and prevent
new oil drilling in Alaska. According to Betsy Loyless.
political director of the League of Conservation Voters.
"More and more Republicans are peeling away from what
is arguably an extremist position on environmental protec-
tion."
Among them: Sherwood Boehlert of New York, |ohn
Porter of Illinois. Constance Morella and Wayne Gilchrest
ol Maryland, and Christopher Shays of Connecticut, each
of whom was receiving high ratings from Ihe League of
Conservation Voters long before Republicans look control
of Congress last year.
Some argue that part of this departure from traditional
GOP legislation has lo do with a lundamenlal debate over
political conservatism. Others contend that as the political
clock ticks toward another election, il may be that
Republicans are feeling the heat as much as seeing the light
on environmental protection. Many recent polls indicate
that public support for the environment is strong, and the
GOP must recognize this fact if it is to remain in power.
As happy as Americans are to witness factions of the
GOP "going green." the fact remains that the position
taken by the Republican party has long been against envi-
ronmental prolcvtion. In its attack on federal regulations,
the Contract with America promotes the idea that envi-
ronmentalism does nothing but cost jobs and cripple busi-
ness. Republican members Frank Murkowski and Don
Young, who have taken over House Natural Resource
Committees, both support the aggressive commercial use
of public lands in Alaska. These representatives of the
GOP have been given the chance to take their
pro-exploitation agenda nationwide.
On his environmental record.
Republican Jesse Helms voted against con-
trolling asbestos, double hulls on tankers
to protect against oil spills, sewage treat-
ment facilities, and the Clean Air and
Clean Water acts. He introduced a bill lo outlaw new
wilderness areas, and used the threat of a filibuster to
reduce industry fees for cleaning up toxic waste.
Though not in office, the powerful right-wing anti-
environment rhetoric voiced by Rush Limbaugh has an
increasingly cull-like effect on his listeners. In speaking
about the endangered northern spotted owl, he has been
quoted as saying, "if the owl can't adapt to the superiority
of humans, screw it."
Unfortunately, environmental protection is just one of
the social programs on the culling table as the GOP per-
sists on attacking groups it perceives as weak, such as stu-
dents and the poor. In addition to deep funding cuts with-
in the EPA, the GOP budget includes a $42 billion reduc-
tion in the Earned Income Tax Credit program, which pro-
vides lax relief to working poor, as well as a $10 billion
cut in the student-loan program. To slash at programs the
public deems valuable is cleariy not a demonstration of the
Republican party holding our best interest in mind.
Change is necessary within the GOP. Thinking green
(and thinking responsibly) makes good environmental and
economic sense. The organization of "Republicans for
Environmental Protection" is a step in the right direction,
but further action must be taken. Citizens of the United
States value environmental quality, and their votes will
n;nect this fact in the next election.
As Ken Keycs notes in Planethood. "Every action that
moves humankind toward a desirixl goal must be support-
ed and encouraged. No political leader can ignore the sus-
tained cry ol the people."
Erin Barnes is a Collegian columnist.
Steps to take on your way to D,C.
People have been asking for a
long time now, "Gee,
Washington looks like so
much fun. How can I be part of the
action?"
Well, it used lo be thai you needed
to be in a rich family, lo know a rich
family, or have embezzled money
from a rich family lo
get your foot in the
door, but no longer.
Nope, with the
handy-dandy guide
below, in just four
easy steps, you too
can be a candidate or
just look like one.
After long hours
of compiling dubious
facts, erroneous data
and conferring with
solicited, unreliable
sources, this sure-fire, can'l-miss
guide has been put together by a
crack staff made up of former USA
Today employees. These arc Ihe ones
who had originally been fired for col-
oring outside the lines of those
annoying pie graphs you see on the
front page in place of actual news.
Here's all you need lo gel started:
A Scandal — This is crucial. No
serious campaign is any good without
a nice, juicy scandal lo go with it. The
trick is you have to let the scandal
break early enough, il has to be plau-
sible, and (this is the most important)
you have to deny it to your last dying
breath. If one of these elements is
missing, it just won't work.
For example, Gary Hart in 1988
had chosen infidelity as his scandal of
choice. Cliched, but effective. It
broke early in the campaign, was cer-
tainly plausible enough, but he
missed Ihe crucial element. He
admitted il. He didn't even pretend
thai he hadn't been diddling some
model on his private boat and got
caught doing it. He just shrugged his
shoulders and said. "Yeah, and?"
So, today good old Gary is off
somewhere out of the glare of ihc
spotlight spanking his
Monkey Rusitiess.
Clinton, in the last
election, had not one,
but four, scandals.
Here's someone who
knows how to play this
game. He had infidelity
(Gcnnifer Flowers),
drug use (didn't inhale),
draft dodging and war
protesting, and alleged
financial wrongdoing
(Whitewater). He
denied, and still denies them all. and
he's sitting pretty in DC. today.
Bush and Perot tried to add "scandal
into otherwise lackluster campaigns,
but they blew it with their liming and
plausibility. Perot dreamed up para
noid theories about nude photos of
his daughter, and someone in the
Bush camp leaked a story about
George's alleged affair with an aide.
Nice try, too little too laic.
A Nickname — This isn't as neces-
sary as the scandal, but it's impor-
tant. If for no other rea.son than so
people have some of way of referring
to you other than your given name.
Nicknames can be awarded by either
side and, used strategically, can
always be used lo your advantage.
Some examples:
Good Sicknames — The Great
Communicator (Reagan). Ike
(Eisenhower).
Dubious Sicknames — Tricky Dick,
referring to alleged political under-
handedncss (Nixon). Bubba, referring
to his Southern roots (Clinton).
Bad Sicknames — Short, big-eared,
paranoid, irascible, nui-job (Perot).
Big, fat, custom-bathtub-needing, tub
of goo (Taft).
An Audience — Or, more specifi-
cally, a block of voters that you can
lavish attention on and claim to sym-
pathize with.
This can be almost anyone. The
elderly, a particular ethnic group, a
special interest or lobby group, any-
one who has interests you can exploit
and who make up a large enough vot-
ing block lo positively affect your
campaign.
Some examples:
Good Idea — Playing up to gruups
with which you have common experi-
ences and concerns. Such as Bush did
lo veteran's groups, and Clinton did
with college students.
Bad Idea — Referring to any ethnic
or minority group as "You People,"
like Perot did lo African-Americans
during his last campaign.
A Bankroll — This requires a bit of
effort, but the most popular ways lo
finance yourself seem lo be oil for-
tunes, land deals, book deals, and
inheritance. If you can't pull any of
these off, you can always marry into
money. It may not be ethical, but we
are talking about federal politics here.
Ethics doesn't have much of a place.
Well, that's it. That's all there is to
il. Keep these steps in mind and start
packing your bags for Washington
D.C. And, when you get there, save
me a seat at the press club, would
you?

Quebec secession battle ongoing
By David Crary
Associated Press
MONTREAL — The battle over whether Quebec leaves
Canada is a battle for the soul of the province's French-
speaking majority.
But in a race too close to call, voters froin places like
China and Greece will play a pivotal role.
Recent immigrants account for 10 percent of Quebec's
7.5 million people. A large majority of them favor staying
in Canada, and many worry that a separatist victory in
Monday's referendum would transform them into out-
siders in their own home.
However, even slight immigrant support could swing
the vote in favor of secession.
The largest immigrant groups are Italians and Greeks,
but there are nearly 500,000 blacks and Asians. There
was dismay in their communities when separatist leader
Lucien Bouchard recently referred to Quebeckers as "one
of the white races."
'To us. we are all Quebeckers, and it's disappointing
when someone makes a distinction," said Cynthia Lam. a
Chinese-Canadian woman who directs a community organi-
zation in Chinatown helping recent immigrants get settled.
Gaby Luonga-Kombe. a Zaire native who heads an
anti-racism group, said he received threatening phone
calls after he publicly criticized Bouchard's remark.
"We're in a democratic country, but we can't even say
what we think," he said.
Polls indicate that separatists could at most expect to
get 10 percent of the immigrant vote, but even that mar-
gin would markedly improve separatists' chances of victo-
ry
Frosso Papadimitriou. who emigrated from Greece 25
years ago. is doing her best to help achieve that goal as
head of a pro-sovereignty group of Greeks.

Indians fight for win in World Series
to keep championship hopes aUve
By Ben Walker
AssociotBd Preu
CLEVELAND — This could be
the start of the ultimate comeback.
Orel Hershiser and the Cleveland
Indians, just one game away from
losing the World Series, beat Greg
Maddux and the Atlanta Braves 5-4
yesterday night, cutting their deficit
io 5 2.
Albert Belles two-run homer in
the first inning — plus a brushback
10 Eddie Murray that led to a rare,
bench-clearing incident in the Series
— energized Cleveland early.
The Indians, who made a habit of
rousing rallies all year, went on to
beat the best pitcher in baseball,
sending the Series back to Atlanta.
Maddux stopped Cleveland on two
hits in the opener, but Hershiser out
pitched the three time Cy Young win-
ner this time, allowing five hits and
two runs in eight innings.
"it was «n unbelievable game.*
Hershiser said.
The Braves still have two more
chances to win their first title since
moving to Atlanta. Game 6 will be
tomorrow night, with Dennis
Martinez starting for the Indians
against Game 2 winner Tom
Glavine.
'We've got to go back and win one
ballgame.' Braves manager Bobby
Cox said.
Hershiser. who walked one and
struck out six. is 8-1 lifetime in post-
season, four wins coming this year.
He made the play of the game in the
eighth with the score 4-2. atoning
for two shaky plays by spearing
Marquis Grissom's liner and dou-
bling off Mike Mordecai at first
base.
"1 was yelling at myself. Finally,
finally, you can make a play."
Hershiser said.
|im Thome, who singled in the
go-ahead run in the sixth, hit a solo
homer in the eighth for a 5-2 lead.
Ryan Klesko homered for the third
straight day — a two-run shot off
lose Mesa with two outs in the
ninth. Mesa earned the save by
striking out Mark Lemke. ending
the fourth one-run game of the
Series.
Maddux set a major-league record
this season, extending his streak to
18 straight ruad wins.
Maddux, signed by the Braves last
year to help bring them the champi-
onship they've chased without suc-
cess, clearly was not as sharp from
the start
He walked the second batter of the
game. Omar Vizquel. after walking
no one in the opener. With two outs.
Belle homered into the Atlanta
bullpen in right field for the saond
straight day. That brought up Murray
and on an 0- 1 pitch. Maddux, known
for having the best control in the
majors, knocked him back with a
high-and-tight fastball.
Murray look a couple of steps out
toward Maddux and pointed at hini
as plate umpire Frank Pulli got
between them. Both benches and
bullpcns then emptied, though no
punches wetv thrown.
"I think it fired us up." Thome
said. "1 think it fired up the crowd."
Such confrontations hardly ever
haftpcn in the Series.
There was a much-publicized inci-
dent involving Ducky Mcdwick of
the St. Louis Cardinals and Detroit
third baseman Marvin Owc-n in
1934. and |oe DiMaggio of the
Yankees nearly got into a fight with
Brooklyn pitcher Whit Wyatt in
1941.
Thome and Manny Ramirez, both
struggling in the Series, put
Cleveland ahead 4-2 with consective
RBI singles with two outs in the sixth
for a 4-2 lead.
Luis Polonia hit Hershiser's first
pitch of the fourth for a rare home
run. and the Braves tied it at 2 with a
run in the fifth, missing a big chance
to score more.
Bruins suffer first loss at FleetCenter
By Jimmy Goltn
AisociotedPreJi
BOSTON — jim Carey made 51 saves and Keith loncs
had three assists yesterday night to give the Washington
Capitals a 4-2 victory over Boston and send the Bruins to
their first loss in their new home.
lones combined with Sylvain Cote and Brendan Witt
on two goals to stop Washington's two-game losing
streak.
Witt scored his first NHL goal with 5:48 left in the
second period to break a 2-2 lie and Steve
Konowalchuk made It 4-2 with his first of the season 40
seconds into ihc third.
Boston openiti the season at FleetCenter with a win and
a ti<* before embarking on a five game (15-11 road trip
while the circus took over the arena. But the comforts of
home didn't seem to solve any problems.
Blaine Ucher had 17 saves for Boston, which outshot
Washington 55-21 but went eight minutes without one
late in the third. The Bruins were scoreless in five power
play opportunities; Washington was l-for-4.
Boston's Kyle McLaren scored his first NHL goal 27
seconds into the game when he dumped it in from the red
line. As Carey shifted over to field it on one bounce, the
puck took a bad hop and floated past him.
It was 2-0 three minutes later when Ted Donato and
Steve Leach worked a give andgo before Donato put it
past Carey. Donato has a point in five consecutive
games.
Fony-thrw seconds later. Witt fed lones in front of the
net to pull the Capitals within one. Pal Peake tied it with
5:59 left in the period.
With 5:48 left in the second, the Capitals used some
confusion in front of the net to their advantage and
luneau fed it across the slot to Witt for the game-winner.
Konowalchuk slammed home his own rebound to give
Washington a 4-2 lead.

team that made the Division III play-
offs. Holy Cross, and fell 5-2 in over-
time in Woaester.
After opening the season on an
extended losing ilrcak. UMass will
look to capitalize on their trip to
Wt-st Point to ensure that this season
has a brighter start.
"There is a sense of urgency to

start off on the right track and we'll
try to start off that way at Army."
Mallen said.
"It feels good jto open with
Army)." UMass defenseman layncn
Rissling said. "We're 2-0 against
them the past couple of years.
They're obviously going to be a well
conditioned and disciplined team.
They're going to want to pay back
some losses that we dished out to
them, so it should be interesting."
The game will also be a season
opener for both teams as neither
Army or UMass scheduled any pre-
season exhibitions. Last season

Both Ahrenholz and Hackathorn said they will miss the

THE MASSACHUSETTS DAILY COLLEGIAN
V'ball looks for triple^win trip
By S^even Grant
&)llegian Staff
The Massachusetts volleyball
learn and its six-game winning
streak will be jumping on the bus
this weekend, as it will travel to
Temple. LaSalle and Fordham to tr>'
and improve on its 8-4 Atlantic 10
record.
The University of Massachusetts,
coached by Bonnie Kenny, will face
the Temple Owls today at 5 p.m.. the
Laballe Explorers tonight at 7 p.m.
and the Fordham Lady Rams tomor-
row at 4 p.m.
The three matches, which all start
in just over a 24 hour span, are
uinnable for the Minuiewomen.
UMass. who owns a 17-9 overall
record, defeated each team the first
time around, with only Temple
(12-9. b-b) giving them serious com-
petition. It is not out of the question
for the Minutewomen to return home
with the winning streak up to nine
games.
Today brings Round Two of this
season's UMass-Temple rivalry.
The first meeting was UMass*
closest and most exciting match of
the year. The Minuiewomen came
back from 2-0 to win the match in
five games, in what proved to be
their first fifth-game win of the sea-
son.
Senior middle blocker Rachel Sky
played exceptional, totalling 19 kills
and 20 digs. Dionne Nash, a junior
outside hitter, also performed well,
earning 1 7 kills.
However, it is probably the worst
possible time and place to try to
•>weep the season series with the
Owls. Not only has Temple won
seven of its last eight matches, but it
is undefeated at home, at 5-0.
Sharia Bryant leads Temple with
259 kills and a 3.189 kills per game
average, but owns only a .181 hit-
ling percentage. Tamu Cooper has
222 kills 13.127 k/gm) to go along
with a team-high .390 hitting per-
centage.
UMass should pay particular
attention to Bryant, as she
scorched the Minutewomen for 23
kills in a losing effort back on
Sept. 29th.
Zenzilc lohnson also played well,
registering 19 kills. UMass may
want to hit the ball away from her.
as she managed 18 digs the firs4
lime around.
La Salle and Fordham should not
provide such competition. A loss to
either squad would be devastating, as
UMass is fighting for a playoff
appearance.
LaSalle owns a mighty 3-17
record, with a 1-11 mark in the
Atlantic 10 And their only A-10
win'' Thai's right, to Fordham.
Saturday's opponent. The Rams
boast a 3-18 record, and have gone
0- 1 2 in the conference.
For LaSalle. Keri Metzyer leads
the way with 3.23 k/gm. and 5.53
digs per game while Shaya Bryant is
the team leader with 1.02 blocks
[>er game. In the match earlier this
year, the Explorers scored a total of
seven points in the match. They
were swept by UMass. who commit-
ted only one error in I ho match, in
three games.
As a learn, LaSalle's hitting per-
centage was .083. Tomorrow, ihe
Minutewomen's main concern
should be to play at their own level,
and not sink down to that of the
Explorers.
Fordham. who only have a team
.126 hitting percentage, will provide
much of the same.
Susan Maga led the Minutewomen
with eight kills in the first meeting,
while Leigh Readey contributed five.
Sophomore defensive specialist Maria
Dueno. freshmen outside hitter/mid-
dle blocker Leslie Hartlen and fresh-
man setter Katie Pearce also had
strvng showings.
leana Tighc leads the Lady Rams
with 3.25 k/gm but has only a .022
hitting percentage because of her
I 38 hilling errors. Suzanne Meehan
has a team-high 3.339 d/gm aver-
age.
The Minutewomen were ranked
for the first time this season in the
NCAA Division I Women's
Volleyball District I Rankings. The
learn was ranked No. 8 in the poll,
and was one of six A- 10 teams to
earn a top-ten ranking (Rhode
Island (20-3) fared the best, at No.
2).
Currently. UMass is in fourth place
in the A-10. Only the lop four teams
in the conference qualify for the post-
season, which is being hosted by the
Minuiewomen.
If they are to make the postseason,
they must beat the teams they are
suppose to beat-up on in their con-
ference.
The UMass volleyball team takes to the road this weekend against
Atlantic 10 foes Temple, LaSalle and Fordham.

Water Polo looks to reserves' depth
as they hope to make playoff waves
By Fred HuHbrink, Jr.
Collegian Staff
On a team where superstars like freshman Brian
Stahl. and seniors Luis Limardo and Alex Mujica
commanded most of the media recognition, it was the
consistency of the club's role-players that drove the
Massachusetts men's water polo squad through a
spectacular 2J-4 season.
Names like Greg Menton. Ron Gonen and Marc
Staudenbauer don't show up on the score sheet as
often as Stahl atKl Limardo. but they show up at the
pool every day ready to play hard.
"Those three guys do their job day-in and day-out."
said University of Massachusetts coach Russ Varworth.
Staudenbauer led the team in quarters played (98 of
1 10) while scoring 20 goals and 55 points.
Gonen played one less quarter than Staudenbauer.
was tied for third on the team in assists (28), and sec-
ond on the team in steals (38).
Both players will have to step up in the Eastern
Water Polo Association North Division Playoffs as
senior co- captain, and fellow driver. )ohn Luviano is
out indefmitely with a serious, and undisclosed, shoul-
der injury.
"Any team has players that score, players that can
defend." Varworth said.
Greg Menton does all of the above and more.
Menton scored 62 points this season, placing fourth
on the offensive juggernaut that is the UMass water
polo team. He led the team in steals (5b). and his
aggressive, tenacious play earned him the dubious
distinction of leading the Minutcmen in fouls (22).
Menton also recorded a lot of minutes and was one
the club's most accurate shooters.
Massachusetts' best shooter is a freshman, but it
isn't scoring sensation Brian Stahl.
Geoff Gear hasn't taken as many shots in his first
season at UMass a> his teammate, but he hasn't missed
the shots he has taken very often either.
Gear has tallied 21 goals on 29 shots, recording a 724
shooting percentage, which would easily eclipse the sin-
gle season record if he had enough attc-mpts to qualify.
Varworth mentioned two other freshmen, lake
Millican and Scott Stevens, who have impressed this
season, garnering more playing time as the campaign
went on. He expects them to play a key part in
UMass' playoff run.
Obviously, the Minutemen have some solid depth,
and that trend continues in the goal where the best goal
tender in the East. Alex Mujica, is backed up by one of
the better second- stringers around, junior Paul Engin.
His statistics (.641 save percentage and 4.65
goals-against- average) are very impressive, but are
somewhat inflated, since he saw most of his action in
the second half of games when UMass was in control.
"He jEnginj has the toughest job; he has to sit on the
bench and be ready to go in at any time," Varworth
said.
Engin provides tremerKJous depth and talent in from
of the net, solidifying a tough Minuieman defense that
will need to play above their ability in the post season,
especially now with the loss of Luviano.
The number one seed in their bracket, the
Minutemen face lona at 5:50 p.m. on Friday in the first
round of the EWPA North Division playoffs.
In the second round. UMass will contest the winner
of the Brown-Harvard match. Queens and St. Francis
are the two top teams in the other bracket.
Massachusetts has to win their first round game to
qualify for the Eastern Championships, and to earn the
number one seed there they need to win the North
Division tournament.
"I think we are going to peak at the right time," said
Varworth of his team in the playoffs. "We can't
over-look any of the teams."
The coach has a point, but admitted that all indica-
tions point to a UMass-Navy showdown in the Eastern
Championships.
The Midshipmen have accounted for half of the
Minuteman losses this season, and UMass looks to rec-
tify that in the post-season.
"We need to shoot better than 5-for-50." Varworth
said. "But it is going to be real lough for them to beat
us three limes in one season."
The UMass water polo team has all the ingredients to
put together an exciting, successful post-season: estab-
lished stars (Limardo, Stahl, Mujica), good depth
(Menton, Gonen, Staudenbauer. Gear. Frankie
Mariani). and most of all, they have a point to prove.
The Minutemen art: out to pruve that "they are the team
to beat."
Women's X-country heads for A-lO's
By Cas«y Kane
Collegian Stoff
The Massachusetts women's cross
country team knows that this weekend
could be the payoff for a long season
of hard work. When they travel to
Pittsburgh. Pa., the Minutewomen will
have one goal in mind. To capture the
Atlantic 10 crown.
The University of Massachusetts
squad entered the daunting invita-
tional stretch of its season sporting
a 7-0-1 record, having convincingly
run away with victories during the
early part of the season. But the
month of October proved to be a
test of the team's strength, as ill-
nesses and injuries became com-
monplace.
With rest and recovery on their
side, the Minutewomen are now
poised to make a run at a goal set at
Ihe season's onset, to win A-lO's.
Last weekend was the preview to
the upcoming conference champi-
onships, as the Minutewomen trav-
eled to Franklin Park in Boston for
the New England Championships.
Taking on the best the region has to
offer the world of collegiate racing.
the UMa.s$ team placed second, scor-
ing 95 points. Boston University won
the meet with 81 points.
Massachusetts was paced by
Rebecca Donaghue. who has placed
first for the Minutewomen all sea-
son long. Donaghue crossed the line
second overall, clocking a 17:52.
len Waeger. still feeling the affects
of an illness, ran an 18:58, to finish
ninth.
'Rebecca ran what was perhaps
the best race of her season. She had a
very good day," UMass coach lulie
LaFreniere said. "|en was incredible.
To fight through like she did is very
guuy.*
UMass also received strong per-
formances from Christy Martin,
Kristin Donaldson and Katie
Greenia. Martin took 19th with a
18:55. while Donaldson finished
with a 19:04, good for 29ih place.
Greenia rounded out the
Minutewomen top five, taking 56th
overall in 19:09.
As they head into A-lO's this
weekend, the Massachusetts runners
know that the Atlantic Ten crown is
within their reach. The main compc-
lilion will come from St. loseph's. a
team UMass saw earlier this year at
the Paul Short Invitational.
"They are not unbeatable, they
are gettable," LaFreniere said. "Our
kids were not 100 percent when we
raced St. loe's last time, and they
are a lot closer to 100 percent
now."
The course, which UMass has
never run before, features a signifi-
cant hill on the second mile, with a
level and slightly downhill first mile
and some uphill on the third mile.
LaFreniere said that she expects a
very fast first mile, with three of her
runners excelling on the hills.
"Greenia. Donaldson and Molly
Duniap ail love hills, and they liiouW
really excel on the second and third
miles." LaFreniere said.
Duniap and |en DelColle will be
the sixth and seventh runners for
Massachusetts at A-lO's, while
co-captain Cheryl Lyons, who is
nursing an injury, will stay at home
to prepare for the upcoming indoor
track season.
LaFreniere is confident about her
teams chances this weekend.
"If the UMass women want to win
this meet, they will have to go out
and run their best. It's that simple.
They are ready, they are confident.
They can do this." she said.

My girlfriend and I brol\e
up. but this time I felt sure that I
would always be alone....
and I would never again have
someone in my life.
I told my dad.
He said, " Don't feel bad.
Take comfort.
Being alone can be a
lovely peaceful gift to yourself.
Also as many people
Imve done before you
you can spend a portion of your
life working for othois and within
yourself to cultivate mercy, hope,
truth, beauty and daylight. "
I asked him if ttwre was

He brought me his

Seniors to play their last game at McGuirk
By Mike Brown
Collegian Staff
Ti>iiK>iu>w ill I p.m. thf Ntinuieiiion will host the
Lthigh i;ngiiKiTs in u ver> meaningtul game mark-
ing ihe seniors' final appearance on the field at
Warren McGuirk .Alumni Stadium.
Last Saturday, the Minuiemen had hoped to be
\iciorious in front of its homecoming crowd. They
succeeded, pulling off a 20-^ upset over the
12th ranked William & Mary Tribe.
This weekend, the Minuiemen look to send its
seniors off with ihe satisfaction of victory.
"The seniors have been ihiough a lot. they have
seen the program through it." University ol
Massachusetts coach Mike Hodges said. "They
deser^e to leave their lasi game with a win. You
always remember thai last game, and we want to
send them away with a win."
The homecoming win last weekend may have
enhanced the L'Mass fixnball tradition, but itiore
importantly, it salvaged the season for the
Minuiemen. L'Mass enters the contest sporting a
4 J record. The win over ihe tribe was the largest
of the season lor the Minuiemen.
Bcdiing a learn of the Tribe's caliber is a major
confidence boost for the team both offensively and
defensively L'Mass looks lo lake ihe positive
momentum along throughout its next four games.
"When you come off a big win. it enforces the
things yiHi work so hard on in practice." Hixiges said.
"We are preparing well for Lehigh, we have faith."
Lehigh enters the game with a 5-2 record. The
Engineers have not faced one of the more difficult
schedules this season, but are a tough team averag
ing 24 p«.iinls per game.
The Minuiemen will not down play Lehigh and
refuse to take this match up lightly. Each remain-
ing game is of equal importance while shooting for
ihe S ankee Conference Championship
"We respect all of our opponents. We have
learned that any team is capable of beating us. We
hiive ccinfidence. we musi kK)k out for being over
confidenl." Hodges said. "We have not lost our long
term goal, we go over it briefly and quickly. Four
weeks from now . anylhing could have happened, but
it's Saiurdav vs Lehigh in which our main gi>al lies."
Leioking at the forecasi ii seems as if ii will rain
again for the nwlch-up. making it ihe third consec
ulive weekend ihe team has played in precipitation.
Fhe Minuiemen have excelled in ihe mud so far
this scasiin oulssoring opponents t'> 18 in the sloppy
field cvmditions Bui the weather doesn't seem to be a
niaitn hazard for the game's ala-ady positive feeling.
"I'd jusi as siHin see the sun shine It may look
like ii helps us. but it keeps the fans away." Hodges
said "People shi'uld come and know how hard
these seniors have played."

"St. loe's as a whole is a very

Sophomore Melanie Taube, a

Donnelly commented on what
having foreign players brings to a

"Thev are very strong players,"
she said "They bring a lot of

Soccer controls own destiny
Hockey has Cadets in its sights
By Justin C. Smith
Collegian Staff
As the Massachusetts women's soccer season nears
its close, there is still much importance found in the
team's final iwo matches.
The Minulewomen will face a Temple squad that is
second in the .-Xtlanlic 10 Eastern division and could
catch L niversiiy of Massachusetts in the standings and
Cornell, a learn thai wasn't expected lo be in the posi-
tion thai ihey are. having a chance lo make the NCAA
loumamenl.
"This weekend was not what we thought il would be
when we scheduled il." LMass coach |im Rudy said.
"For both opponents, ihis game |wilh UMass] becomes
iheir season. Temple, if
they beat us, can make ihe
A- 10 tournament."
First up on Friday for
the Minulewomen is
Temple. The Owls (7-9-3
overall. 1-0 1 A- 10) are
in control of their own
destiny in terms of win-
ning ihe A- 10 Eastern
division, bui ihey musi
knock off 15lh ranked
UMass (10-2 2. '5-0).
If Temple were to pin a
loss un the Minulewomen
and then beat Fordham.
ihey would have a belter
conference record and
therefore have a higher
seed in the A- 10 lournu
meni next weekend.
"If we were lo lose we
would probably play
George Washington in the
first round (of the A- 10
tourneyj, ralher than the
finals." Rudy said "If we
beat Temple we would be
ihe lop seed and get a shot
at Xavier. They're a quality
team (hat we haven't seen yet."
The second lesi of the weekend will come when
ihe Minulewomen return home for the regular season
finale againsi Cornell. The Big Red enters the week-
end with a s)- > 2 record on the year and a win over
the highly ranked UMass squad would give ihem an
excellent shot al receiving a bid to the NCAA's.
Cornell and L Mass have played four ciunmon oppo-
iKnls ihis year with the only difference in results being
Cornell's 2 I loss to Hartford while UMass and the
Hawks played to a scoreless lie.
Minulewomen Notes: Sunday's game with Cornell
will mark the last regular season game for UMass
seniors Nikki Ahrenholz, Rachel I.eDuc and Polly
Hackathom. All four players have been with Coach
Rudy's program since
their arrival in
.\mhersl and have
made valuable contri-
butions 10 the success
of the learn.
LeDuc has 28 goals
and 24 assists in her
career al UMass for a
total of 80 points. The
pt)int and assist totals
rank third all lime.
She also has nine
career game winning
goals in her career as a
Minulewomen.
"Rachel has worked
her way up from being
the number 18 player
lo being our lop front
runner. " Rudy said.
Ahrenholz has
been part of the start-
ing backfield for the
past two seasons and
has been steady
throughout. She

A new chapter in the history of the
Massachusetts hockey program will
open tonight as ihe Minutemen take
to the ice against the Cadets of Army
in West Point. NY.
Two years ago, the University of
Massachusclls was a first-year pro-
gram searching for its feel. Last year
UMass was taking its lumps as it
played its first season in Hockey East.
In 1995-% the program enters a
new phase, as the Minuiemen are
now familiar with the road that lies
ahead of ihem and know what to
expect from most of their opponents.
One constant through ihe three
years is a dale with Army, the first
two match ups producing UMass vic-
tories, keyed by Rich Moriarty's goal-
lending, in two games against Army
in his career. Moriarty has posted a
2.50 goals-against-average and a
.907 save percentage.
On Ian 29. 1994 the Minutemen
won their first game againsi a
Division I opponent as they topped
Army 4- '5 at Tate Rink with Warren
Norris scoring Iwo goals and adding
an assist, while Moriarty slopped 25
of 26 Army shots. Last year. UMass
downed the Cadets al the William D.
Mullins Center behind a pair of Mike
Evans goals and a 20 save effort from
Moriarty.
Yet tonight, Brian Regan, who
emerged as the top Minuteman net-
minder during the tail end of the
1994-95 season, will start in goal,
Regan, named lo Hockey East's
All Rookie team last year, carried the
Minuiemen al times in 1994-95 and
was in net when UMass posted both
its stunning upset of No. 1 Maine and
its playoff victory at Boston College.
"The goallending has been very
competitive in our preseason train-
ing." UMass coach |oe Mallen said
"There really is not that great of a
difference between all three of our
goalies."
Army returns 25 letter-winners
from last year including top scorer
Ian Winer (15 goals. 56 assists. 51
points), who scored a goal in last
year's game, but do not be mislead by
their 20 I '5 1 record.
The Division I Independent com-
piled just alio record againsi
■■Jivision I opponents, while beating
up on second tier Division III schools
including Scranion (12-0) and
Fairfield (12-5). Army's only solid
wins aie a 5 2 upset al RPI and a
10 1 shellacking of Tufis, significant
more for the margin of victory than

Minutemen end season with two Atlantic 10 foes
By Mike Corey
Collegian Staff
Playing an Atlantic 10 conference
game is lough enough Playing two
A 10 games* on Ihe road, in two days,
is even tougher.
Tlial is the way the Massachusetts
men's soccer team will finish the reg-
ular season this weekend, as they
play St. loseph's tonight and Temple
on Sunday.
St. loseph's is struggling this year
with only five wins in 17 games.
Being shutout in the first four
games of the season didn't do much
lor iheir confidence. The Hawks
have given up 51 goals on the year
to only 25 scored. They have been
oulshot by their opponents through-
out the season and have only scored
more than two goals in three games
this year.
The Minuiemen have outscored
iheir opponents 44-25 on the year.
Dave Siljanovski continues lo
lead the team in goals and assists,
along with Mike Butler and Brad
Miller who are also having stellar
seasons.
On the other end of the field,
goalie Eric Gruber has been out-
standing. He has made 89 saves on
the year and has recorded three
shutouts.
The University of Massachusetts

Saturday.
"It was a tough game." s.iid liead
coach Sam Koch. "They finished
iheir chances and we didn t. but
we're going to beat them the next

Although UMass has a record of
12 4-2 on the season compared to
St. loseph's mark of 5-8--4. they are
not taking the Hawks lightly, by any
means.
"They're a good team. They've had
a lough year, and they would very
much like to knock us off," Koch
said.
"I expect them to be coming at us.
We've never beaten them at their
field, which is astroturf, and that
doesn't favor us any."
St. loseph's main threats are |ohn
Gallagher, wht) leads the team with
eight goals including three game win-
ners; Aleksander Peev, who has seven
assists; and |ohn Shaip with a total of
1 2 points.
rhe Hawks goalie is Sean Vilet
who has started all 17 games for St.
loseph's, making 120 saves and giv
ing up 50 goals.
There are no injuries to report for

"This is one of the best records the

Quebec votes today on secession referendum

Final appeals made before vote;
latest poll still shows 50-50 split
By David Crary
Associated Press
MONTREAL — The Iwo sides in Quebec's
bloodless but bitter war of secession made emo-
tional final appeals Sunday to the undeclared
voters who will cast the crucial ballots in the
vole on splitting from Canada.
"We know we have a chance to win — let's
grasp il." separatist leader Lucien Bouchard told
one of the last rallies before Monday's referen-
dum. "Tomorrow night, a people will be horn."
The latest poll, by the Montreal company
Leger-Leger. gave the separatists an edge among
decided voters but concluded, after apportioning
the undecideds. that Ihe referendum was a dead
heal. "It's impossible to predict the winning
camp," said lean- Marc Leger, the company's
president.
In Ihe city of Hull, at his last rally as head of
the federalist cause. Prime Minister jean
Chretien said separation would be a deep loss
for all Canadians, including his fellow
Qucbeckers,
"Canada without Quebec is no longer
Canada, " Chretien said. "Quebec without
Canada is no longer Quebec."
The flag-waving crowd sang the national
anthem, "Q Canada" — the French version and
English version resounding simultaneously
through a mu.seum auditorium.
About 5 million people in the mostly I rench-
speaking province are eligible lo vole, including
roughly 10 percent who said Ihey hadn't made
up their minds as of last week. Election officials
predict an exceptionally high turnout.
The separatists and federalists each said Ihey
were mobilii^ing more than 80.000 volunteers to
help maximize the turnout of sympathetic vot-
ers.
"It's urgent," Bouchard told supporters.
"Everyone must use the hours that are left to
convince one or two undecided voters." Police
also were mobilizing, particularly in bilingual
Montreal and in Hull, in westetn Quebec across
the Qttawa River from Qntario.
"In this case, to he honest, we are a bit more
touchy because it's more emotional than an elec-
tion." said Hull policeman Yves Martcl.
Montreal riot police were on standby:
I-ollowing u 1980 independence referendum,
defeated separatists marched through the
wealthy anglophone enclave of Wesimouni. a
bastion of federalists. About 82 percent of
Quebeckers are French-speaking, and a majgrity
are likely to support independence, according lo
polls. But an overwhelming majority of English-
speaking and immigrant Quebeckers are expect-
ed to vote lo stay in Canada.
Polling stations open al 10 a.m. EST and close
at 8 p.m. EST The outcome is expected to be

tunnoil thus directly affecting the United Stales.
President Clinton, though not voicing specific
support for one side, implied support for a Canada
with Quebec with remarks reported in the Boston
Clliihc describing a "strong and united Canada" as a
"great model for the rest of the world and... a great
trading partner for the United Slates."
Pro separation supporters are scrambling to ease
the worries of New England trading partners.
Figures compiled by the B*)slon Globe slate that
the New England region imports about $7 billion a
year in gcKxJs from Quebec and exports about S'i
billion a year in ginxls to the province. Quebec as a
fledgling new nation could not afford lo lose that
revenue, thus making il in their best interests to
ease the fears of New Englanders.
Pro separation officials affirm iheir belief in free
trade and that Quebec as a sDvereign nation would
support il with the United Stales. This might not
be as easy as they might think Quebec as an inde-
pendent nation would rank after Chile and other
nations In line to join NAFTA (North American
Free Trade Agreement). Canada may decide to
block Quebec's admission thus furthering Iheir
wail.
Besides short term economic concerns there
are long term security concerns as well The
secession of Quebec would in effect cut Canada
in two. The western provinces would be separat-
ed from the eastern Atlantic provinces. If
Canada's and Quebec's relations ever soured,
then the United Slates could have Iwo nations
fighting just to the north of il. This would be
especially a concern for the New England stales
which find themselves wrapped from the north
and around lo Ihe west by parts of Canada and
Quebec.
Another concern, though not as severe as the
last one. involves the provinces of Alberta and
British Columbia. Quebec as a province con-
tributes roughly a quarter of the GDP of Canada.
Without the revenue from Quebec. Canada might
lean heavier on more affluent provinces such as
Alberta and British Columbia. This might force
those two lo leave Canada, effectively crippling an
already ailing nation.
The separation question is more complex than
just economics or language. It deeply affects the
Canadian people Many Canadians outside of
Quebec would like to see Quebec secede. They
consider the province a "spoiled child" which
enforces bi lingualily on the country as a whole
even though the majority of the francophones
reside in Quebec. Conversely many people in
Quebec would be very wary of secession. The
elderly who rely on Canada's various social pro-
grams and its national health care system fear the
consequences cif secession.
The polls show the pro separation side with a
slight lead. But the polls alsti show a fairly large
portion of Quebec voters undecided. The fate of
Canada is clearly in the hands of voters in
Quebec.
Mt. Holyoke prof finds
6 million-year-old fossil
By Amy H. Porodysz
Collegian Staff
A Mount Holyoke geology pro-
fessor has found the oldest
known animal fossil.
Mark McMenamin, who has
been a geologist since I "184,
spent more than a decade looking
for a fossil from the Fdiacaran
biola. When he finally found
some in Mexico last spring, ihey
turned out lo be the oldest yet
discovered.

that existed

f r o m
McMenamin's
fossils. They lived in a lime when
the earth was warming after a
severe ice age. McMenamin said.
The desert area where
McMenamin found his fossils was
a sea al the lime when the crea-
tures lived
The fosslll/ed species are two
inches wide, and would have
been the largest living things in
their lime. McMenamin said.
"Have you ever fried an egg
and not broken the yoke''" asked
McMenamin Ihat's what Ihey
look like — a fried egg."
In March. McMenamin trav-
eled to Northwestern Mexico for
his fifth expedilion there. At first,
it seemed as though the trip was
going to be more trouble than it
was worth.
"Il ended up being kind of an
exciting wild west kind of adven-
ture." McMenamin said.
Yet. after he and his compan
ions survived a car accident, a
barbed wire fence, a disagreeable
gatekeeper, a road biHiby trapped
with lire spikes and rattlesnakes
(which McMenamin had never
seen there bi-fore) they stumbled
upon a virtual fossil goldmine.

specimen of the fossil on March
I band 17.
The science community has not
reached a definite answer as to
whether the Ediacara is an ani-
mal or some other type of organ-
ism, McMenamin said.
He believes, however, that they
are phoiosynthesizing animals,
which he admits seems al first to
be contradictory,
"Today I'm leaning toward the
animal interpretation,"
McMenamin
said.
He is con-
vinced the
species got its
energy through
photosynthesis,
as opposed to
eating. One
particular fos-
sil reinforces
this hypothesis,
"lis profile is inclined as if it
were oriented toward something
in the sky," McMenamin said.
He considers that orientation
to be one of the most significant
aspects of his find.
The I'^diacara fossils cannot be
directly dated because there were
no crystals nearby with which to
radiometrically date them.
However, the newly found fossils
have been compared with rocks
found near other Ediacara fossils.
McMenamin's fossils seem to be
the oldest of that type.
McMenamin said his discovery
means that Ediacaran studies will
shift the emphasis from
Australia, northern Russia and
southwestern Africa to North
America,
Ironically. in 1986,
McMenamin wrote a paper enti-
tled "The Garden of Ediacara,"
predicting scientists would find
evidence that the Ediacara photo-
synthesized, which he later found.
McMenamin said he wanted to
gel a doctorate studying the
Ediacaran biota, but he had not
found any fossils.
"But I never lost interest.' he
said.

Quebec
continued from poge 1
known within an hour or two unless it is a virtual tie.
Bouchard, whose fiery speeches have been credited
with erasing an early federalist lead, played to emotions
Sunday.
"There will be one last question that flashes through
our minds, before we take the pencil and vote 'yes' or
"no."" he said, "'Do 1 have enough confidence that the
Quebec people can take matters into their own hands''"
The answer to that question will |be| your answer on the
ballot."
He acknowledged there might be bitterness in English
Caitada if the "yes" side wins.
Tm not saying they'll be in a good mood the day after,"
he said. "But the dust will settle."
The federal government has refused to say how it
would respond to a "Yes" vote. It could accept
Quebec's independence, launch a legal challenge, or try
to force a Canada-wide referendum or a second one in
Quebec.
The separatists, if thcv won. would not declare indepen-
dence immediately. They have offered to negotiate for up
to a year on a new economic artd political partnership
between Canada and an independent Quebec, but with
the option of unilaterally declaring independence at any
point.
Some Quebeckers say they will vote "yes" simply to end
the decades of wrangling over possible constitutional
reforms intended to keep the province in Canada while
satisfying French nationalist demands.
"How much longer will we remain torn between a Yes
and a No?" asked Quebec poet Claude Peloquin in a
Montreal Gazette column Sunday. "What are we waiting
for?... It's lime to be masters of our destiny."
Federalist leaders expressed confidence that they had
regained the momentum thanks to nationwide unity ral
lies, including a huge pro-Canada demonstration in
Montreal on Friday that da-w thousands of pet.iple from
across the country.
But Bouchard said Quebeckers should not be swayed
by the rallies.
"They want to make us feel guilty by saying "Why do
you want to do that? We love you." he said. "But the
reality is that in the past, even though they love us. they
have never wanted to recognize us as a people."

Conservatives split on Powell
Buchanan warns of QOP control war if general is nominated
By Sally Buzbee
Associoted Press
WASHINGTON — Retired Gen. Colin Powell will
throw the Republican Party into a war fur control if he
seeks the GOP nomination for president. Pal Buchanan
and other prominent conservatives warned Sunday.
In a sign the battle already has begun, conservative
William |. Bennett and several moderate Republicans said
they hope Powell runs, and believe he can both gain sup-
port from conservatives and widen the party's appeal.
"Individual conservative Republicans like this man. and
they like him for good reason." said Bennett, a former
education secretary who has fought recently with fellow
conservatives over Powell. Bennett spoke on CBS's "Face
the Nation."
But Buchanan, appearing on ABC's "This Week with
David Brinklcy." warned of a full-scale revolt by Christian
conservatives if Powell wins the nomination and lilts the
party toward a pro choice position on abortion.
"You'd have Christian Coalition folks breaking loose,
you'd have people walking out of the convention, if Colin
Powell tries to impose his agenda." said Buchanan, who is
seeking the GOP nomination for the second lime.
If the party ends its pro-life, anti-gun control and anti-
affimvitive action positions. "I vrill not support that plat-
form." Buchanan insisted, but he slopped short of saying
he would boll the GOP.
Powell, the retired joint chiefs of staff chairman is
expected to announce by Thanksgiving whether he plans
to join the Republican race.
The GOP front-runner. Senate Majority Leader Bob
Dole, said conservatives would unite behind him as a sin-
gle alternative if Powell seeks ihe GOP nomination.
"My view is that wciuld be helpful to me." Dole said at
a campaign stop in Iowa Sunday.
Both moderates and Bennett said they were eager for
Powell lo more fully explain his positions on abortion, the
GOP's "Coniract With America." gun control and affir-
mative action.
"Because this is worth having a debate," said New York
City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani on the Brinklcy program,
adding "Colin Powell has a historic opportunity to broad-
en the base of the Republican Parly in many, many ways,
and I'd like lo see that opportunity taken "
Former President Bush reportedly was touting Powell at
a party in Houston last week, although insisting he would
not publicly endorse anyone, reported Sewsweek in edi-
tions appearing on newsstands Monday.
But David Keene. head of the American Conservative
Union, said Powell has already made clear his wide divide
from conservatives. "He's described himself as a
Rockefeller Republican. He's said that if he gets into it,
part of his goal would be to revitalize this portion of the
party." Keene said on "Face the Nation." "That is the next
thing to a dcxiaration of war on the conservative wing of
the party."
Keene pledged to fight Powell in the primaries if he
runs, but said he won't support a third party conservativs
bid if Powell were to win the GOP nomination.
As he considers whether to run. Powell is closely weigh-
ing concerns of his wife. Alma, said Bennett, who has
talked lo the general on the telephone. Powell should
expect "unfriendly fire" from conservatives if he runs.
Bennett said.
"There's a conservative establishment... which is
frankly going a little bonkers right now. because the grass-
roots, the individuals, people who actually vote, like Colin
Powell," Bennett said.
A national poll released Saturday was clearly on many
Republicans' and Democrats' minds.
The CBS News New York Times poll found that if
Powell enters, he would cut deeply into Dole's support
and could become the immediate front-runner.
And if he won the GOP nomination. Powell would be
favored over President Clinton by 50 percent of those
polled, with 38 percent preferring Clinton, the poll found.
in contrast. Clinton would lead in a two-way race if
Dole were his opponent, by 49 percent to 45 percent,
the poll indicated. New Hampshire Gov. Steve Merrill,
on "Face the Nation," called the poll results surprising
and said he will look closely at Powell if he enters the
race.
While Giuliani and conservative editor William Kristol
both said Powell could help broaden the party's base.
Dole supporter Sen. Pete Domenici. (R-N.M.). said
Powell may not be qualified to be president.
Democrats, meanwhile, were painting Powell as one of
them. "He's basically a Democrat." said Sen. Christopher
Dodd, (D-Conn.) "He's just trying to fit in this suit"
because he can't run for president as a Democrat against a
Democratic incumbent.

Candidates lining up for Studds' seat
BOSTON (AP) — Possible con-
lenders continue lining up for the
congressional seat now held by U.S.
Rep. Gerry Studds. who has
announced thai he will not seek re-
election.
Massachusetts Houst Republican
Leader Edward Teague of Yarmouth
has announced his candidacy, calling
the 10th Congressional District a
"winnable" one for Ihe GOP. Teague
had said he planned lo run against
Studds anyway and that the con-
gressman's announcement merely
pushed his campaign more quickly
into gear. |ohn Lakian. a business-
man who won only 18 percent of the
vole in the Republican primary for
Senate last year, also is expressing
interest.
"I'm leaning that way." Lakian.
who has a home in Woods Hole, told
the Boston Herald. "I'm not ihere.
but I'm closer. Obviously of)en seals
are easier than .seats held by incum-
bents."
Studds. 58. of Cohasset. told sup-
porters Saturday that it was lime to
"move on" to other challenges. The
congressman said that his decision
was based not on politics but on a
"profoundly personal predicament."
He said he would support the
Democratic nominee to succeed him.
Michael Kennedy, son of Robert F.
Kennedy and a Democrat who lives
in Cohasset. said through a spokes-
woman that he was considering run-
ning for the seal but would not make
any decision for at least two weeks.
Kennedy heads the non-profit
Citizens Energy Corp. and managed
his uncle Edward's successful cam-
paign for reelection to the Senate last
year.
Kennedy spokeswoman jean
Fleischman called it an "opportunity
for public service he's going to have
to con.sider."
Keith jason Hemeon of Sandwich,
a Republican who waged an unsuc-
cessful challenge against Studds in
1994. already is running for Studds'
seal.
Slate Sen. Robert Hedlund of
Weymouth and Plymouth County
Sheriff Peler Forman. both
Republicans, also reportedly arc
inlerested.
But Plymouth County District
Attorney Michael Sullivan of
Abington. who some had considered
a possible contender, said during the
weekend that he planned lo seek
reelection as disirici attorney and
will not run for Studds' seat.
On the Democratic side. Norfolk
District Attorney William Dclahunt.
who lives in Quincy. reportedly was
trying to line up supporters,
Philip lohnston, of Marshfield. the
regional head of the U.S. Health and
Human Services Department, also is
repKjrtedly considering a bid.
"Everjihing thai I've been working
for for Ihe last 25 years is on the line
in Congress now, so I am going to
consider it seriously." he told The
Boston Globe.
Several Democratic politicos. how-
ever, speculated that Delahunt and
Johnson — both of whom have ties
to the Kennedy family — would be
unlikely to run against Michael
Kennedy.
Stale Sen. Therese Murray of
Plymouth told the Globe she has
received "an unbelievable amount of
calls" from supporters urging her to
run.

Play examines abuse,
women & black unity
By Heidi Wakneen
Collegion Corespondenl
Flyin' West, a play about four
free black women in Kansas in the
1800s, was prescnicd at the
Rooke Theater at Mount Holyokc
College on Oct. 2b-2» at 8 p. in
The play, by Pearl Clcagc. was
sponsored by the New World
Theater and the Theater
Department at Mount Holyoke
College.
The play presented the audience
with the issues of black unity,
women's independence and
spousal abuse These issues,
which were present in the IWX)s.
are still present today.
In the first scene wc meet
Miss Leah, a town elder played
by Cclia L. Hilson. Throughout
the play this character tells many
stories of the hardships black
women had to endure during
and after slavery in order lo
enjoy the degree of freedom in
which the characters lived. With
her antics. Leah offers us a
large amount of comic relief
throughout the play.
Along with Leah we meet the
oldest of three sisters. Sophie,
played by Ingnd Askew. Sophie is
a woman of great independence
and sta-ngth. Throughout the play
she fights for her town.
Nicodemus. to be free of white
speculators who want to buy land
owned by blacks She \tanls
Nicodemus to be a place of com
fort for her. her sisters and "col
ored people."
We then meet Frannle. played
by Amy Auzcnne. who is there to
help resolve the conflicts between
the characters.
In addition to the light to keep
Nicodemus away from ^peculalurs
Mc arc introduced lo yet another
conflict. Minnie, played by Toks
Olagundoye and her husband
Frank, played by Timothy Blake,
struggle with their black identity.
We learn this as we see Frank, a
mulatto, struggle with the fact
that his wife is black and he is half
black. Franks's frustrations are
taken out on his wife when he
abuses her both physically and
mentally.
The production was put togeth-
er very well and received a posi-
tive response from its audience.
Karyn Larkin. a former student at
Mount tlolyoke College said,
'The play was entertaining but
even more importantly it was nice
to see a dramatic piece in which
women of that time period were
depicted as being strong and
working toward establishing a bet-
ter life for themselves."
This play is of particular impor-
tance because it documents an
important time in history for both
black people as well as women:
black women who are under-rep-
resented in conventional historical
accounts.
To address the issues presented
tu us in the play, the
F.verywoman's Center held a
rcxeption at the Thirsty Mind Cafe
for the cast of Flyin" West after
the Oct. 27 performance. The
reception was also a benefit for
the Woman's shelter in Holyoke.
In addition to this. Pearl CIcagc
«ill be in Amherst for a series of
lectures sponsored by the New
World Theater and the Five
College Multicultural Theater
Committee.
Flyin' West will be presented
again Nov. 4 in Howkcr
Auditorium at the University uf
Massachusetts at H p.m.
Former defense minister is
accused in political killings
By Oonno Bryton
Associated Press
lOHANNFSBURC, South Africa
— A former defense minister Is to be
charged with 1 1 political murders, a
prosecutor said Sunday, of a case
that will force South Africa to con-
front the bloody excesses of the
apartheid era.
Magnus Malan, South Alrlca's
hard-line defense minister during the
turbulent 1980s, will be the most
senior political figure ever brought lo
court to answer accusations that
white rightists went to desperate
lengths to hcild on to power.
While rightists, especially those
still In the security forces, could see
moves against Malan as the begin-
ning of a long-feared witch hunt by
the ANC-led government.
Malan had been Implicated in
investigations into a 1487 case that
resulted in murder charges earlier
this year against several high ranking
security officers. Provincial Attorney
General Tim McNally said Sunday.
"Gen. Malan is being added as an
accused in that case, on the same
charges." McNally told the
Associated Press. An arrest warrant
had been Issued, and Malan was
expected to appear in court in
Durban on Thursday.
McNally refused to confirm news
paper reports that 10 other new
arrest warrants also had been issued
in the case.
Malan told the Sunday newspaper
Rapport that he believed plans to
arrest him were politically motivated.
Reports of his Impending arrest could
hurt his National Party in local elec-
tions scheduled Wednesday.
The National Party administered
apartheid for four decades until
South Africa's First all-race elections
in April 1994 brought the African
National Congress to power.
Court papers had listed Malan as ■
possible witness against security offi-
cers charged with the 1987 murders
of 1 ■J relatives of a pro-ANC activist
in what was then Natal Province. .
The region, which was merged
with the former KwaZuTiJ black
homeland when apartheid ended last
year, has been a bloody battleground
for the ANC and its main black rival,
the Zulu nationalist Inkaiha Freedom
Parly.
A special investigation into politi-
cal killings was launched after an
Independent judicial commission
accused South African police last
year of training Inkatha assassination
squads and of arming the party to
deslabilize the black opposition tu
apartheid Malan. a career military
man who was chlel of the nation's
defense forces in the 1970s, joined
the National Party after being named
minister of defense in 1980. The gov-
ernment at the time was bracing for
what it called a 'total onslaught" by
anti apartheid forces.
As defense minister. Malan sent in
Iroops to back up police in the town-
ships, where unrest was at its height
Malan took a hard line on the ANC,
which he saw as a Communist front
with no political future In South
Africa.
In 1991. following allegations that
government funds had been used to
pay for Inkatha rallies. then-
President F.W. de Klerk shifted
Malan lo minister of water affairs
and forestry.

Quebec: free & independent?
Today Uuebccians will decide if they want to M-ccdc
from the rest of Canada. Whether we realize it or
not. their decision will affect the United Stales dra-
matically.
During the past two weeks, the Quebec secession refer-
endum vote has been the subject of numerous polls and
desF>eratc political pleas. Polls have shown Qucbecians
arc spill down the middle, occasionally loaning towards
secession. Pro-secession politicians are stumping Icll and
right for a Quebec free and independent from Canada. All
this weighs heavy on the rest of Canada.
Quebecians claim they contribute disproportionally to
the Canadian economy and are ihe source of Canada'-
multiculturalism, history and unique ethnic blend. They
want to secede so they may take advantage of their quali
ties without the drain of the rest of Canada. Some even
say that Quebec's desire for secession stems from the
mere history of France's influence and the use of the
French language. Whatever the reason, secession cannot
happen without destroying Canada, its uniqueness a^ a
country and its relations with other countries throughout
the world.
Secession will literally split Canada in two. From there
it is only a matter of time until the other provinces each
become their own countries, or worse, ihe holdings of
other countries.
Sure. Americans can say Quebec's .seces-
sion from Canada is no big deal, but the
fact is Canada has played a large role in ihe
formation of the U.S.
It's amazing how little Americans know
about Canada that isn't a stereotype. .Most
Americans think Canada's chief exports arc hockey play
ers. Molson Ice and Canadian Mouniics. Along those
lines, everyone is backward, the most famous Canadian is
Bryan Adams and everyone ends their sentences uiih
-eh?-
The main concern of Canadians is that once Quebec
secedes. Canada will be subsumed by the United States.
One of my suitemates is here at UMass on exchange fami
Toronto and her feelings on the subject are pretty strung.
"Once Quebec secedes, it's only a matter of time belore
we become the 51st slate.- she said.
After all the jokes made about annexing Canada.
Quebec's secession increases the possibility of the U.S.
taking over the rest of Canada and slowly killing ofl the
culture Canada does have. Canadians ollen speak ot
"Can-Con", a unique term to describe the 'Canadian ton
tent" of movies, books, music and other things thai come
out of Canada. Canadians want the U.S. to undersland
they are very different from the ihem — ainio-l lo the
point of desperation. For example, my suiicmalc and I will
Marni E.
Helfner
argue constantly over whether a particular fixxl item is
called "macaroni and cheese" or "Kraft Dinner." Both of
us think the other is crazy to call it by any other name.
Canadians do not want to be a part of this society. They
have their own country and want to keep it that way. The
uniqueness that each of the provinces provides helps to
shape iheir country. I osing Quebec is akin to losing a
part of the memory and history of what is Canada.
The other main concern is what will happen politically
lo Canada. Some are suggesting that if Quebec scxedes.
there may be a civil war in Canada, and the lir>t war to
ever happen on Canadian soil will pit Canadians against
Canadians.
Even without war. ihe splitting of Canada will cause a
weakness in the >trength of the country. Canada will be
more susceptible to invasion by other countries. Who
wouldn't want to control the land north of the U.S.'.'
Besides gaining a large number of natural resources, the
access to become one of the U.S.'s largest trading partners
is appetizing. And if we're talking about gaining political
strength from land control, who ever controls Canada has
got the access to a possible invasion of the US.
Look at Cuba, flaiti and Central America. The U.S.
wants to make sure all its neighboring countries are allies
and have no intention of invasion.
On a world scale, secession could spell disaster.
Countries will side with either Quebec or
the rest ol Canada, and one or the other
will suffer. For instance. France will obvi-
ously Nide with Quebec and provide ihem
with aid and a generous trade agreement.
Fngland will probably side with the rest
ol Canada and cut off Quebec. Countries will take sides
over the secession and potentially dangerous alliances
will be created If secession occurs. Quebec will need a
lol ol mimey in the beginning and. of course, some
political lies will have lo be made with the providers.
QueK'c will eventually lake money without questioning
the source and mav even become a political pariah to
the U.S.
What is the answer'.' The vote today will probably not
have an answer Most likely, the vote will be split down
the middle, with only a lew percentage points to spate. In
the end. most Quebecians who are wavering on a decision
will vote "no" on the referendum because they are afraid
ol ihe consequences of an independent Quebec. Fven
then, the issue will nol die because of the even split.
I it her way, this will remain an issue fiir Canadians until
either Quebec succeeds or Canada reins in Quebec's
snobbish need lor independence from one of the best
countries in the world.

Letters to the Editor
Drinking laws
ridiculous
To the Editor:
When I read in the Collegian last
week of the two court cases involv-
ing alcohol and liability. I thought of
the words from that old song by
Crosby, Stills. Nash and Young: "In
a land that's known as freedom, how
can such a thing be fair?"
These cases are indicative of the
sorry stale to which law has declined
in this country. First, you have a
drinking age that, in effect, criminal-
izes virtually an entire generation. A
law. I might add. which was imposed
on the Slates by federal regulation.
Then, you have people, who are
guilty of reckless acts, able to use
this law to shift their blame onto
others.
After outrageous rulings such as
these come down, the understand-
able reaction is lo get angry at the
judges. While I don't want to let the
judges entirely off the hook, we have
to remember that judges doni make
the laws. The laws come from the
politicians, and ultimately from Ihe
citizens. We are those citizens. And
we are not powerless.

Article's view full of
stupidity
To the Editor:
Regarding the bizarre view of
Mark McGrath of U.S. presence in
lapan. I am amazed to find such stu
pidity exists. Mr. McGrath starts rav-
ing in his second paragraph. "Ever
since the end of World War II. the
U.S. has been purging japan of its
culture and dignity." Hmmm. did I
miss something? just how often does
the victor rebuild the vanquished to
the point where it can reach global
influence, to the brink of wrecking
havoc on the victor's prized indus-
tries? Is that punishment or not? Did
lapan receive payment from China
for carnage on Chinese soil or did it
help rebuilt what it destroyed? It's
called the Sino-japanese War. Mr.
McGrath. Now try to imagine what
would have happened if the U.S.
lost. My best guess is our payment
would go into lubing japan's war
machine for future conquest. It hap-
pened that way before. Now gel real
and justify how the U.S. purges
lapan's dignity.
.\s far as America's "reign of ter-
ror." did you forget who started the
shooting? Given the atrocious treat-
ments toward civilians and prisoners
of war. do you think the enemy
would have hesitated one second to
use the bomb if they had it? In short,
the U.S. was lucky tii have the
resource and courage to end the
fighting. If you have a problem with
that, lake your remorse of the fami-
lies ol those killed lo preserve your
rights. Tell them you yvish we lost
and watch the response.
I'm still wondering why you see
the U.S.'s effort to "demilitarize and
democratize" lapan as evil. Picture
yourself attacked by someone who
intended lo end your life. You sub
due him. then what? Do you disarm
him and pursue him not to do it
again? Or do you give back his
weapon fully armed and pretend it
was a joke? N'ou seem lo suggest the
latter because the first choice is
"degrading." Do you prefer lo be
dead? I would like to hear the logic
of it.
The same goes for "destroying an
empire in gelling nd of the emperor."
N'ou state in your ne\t sentence that
the cmpcRir is alive and well, being a
"symbol of the state." How's that
punishment lor killing tens of mil-
lions of innocent people? Hitler paid
with his life. What made you think
the emperor had belter character?
The act ciimmiited by the three
U.S. servicemen was a crime ll is a
disgrace lo their uniform and all
man. They should be punished
accordingly. But it is a crime unsup
ported by the stale that is no more
hideous ihan the counliess crimes
commitled hy Japanese troops in
WWII. While japan has never offi-
cially apologized, even downplaying
mass rape/killing as fabrications and
military necessities, ii is using this
one incident as a political windfall lo
leverage trading negotiation. You do
keep up with current events, right?
One last p>.>int — you wrote, "the
only reason we still keep the
Japanese under our control is ihe
Japanese could give American the
punishmeni it deserves." Are you
referring lo the punishment we
deserve lor protecting japan against
Soviet bombers? Or are you refer-
ring to the way we cover up japan's
atrocity by allowing ihem to keep
their war loot and emperor? The
Smithsonian's one-sided commemo-
ration of war victims? As a veteran. I
demand an explanation

To Ihe Editor:
I was happy and impressed lo read
of lames Waire's dedication to regis-
tering black voters in the Oct. 25
c-dition of the Collegian. It is always
inspiring to hear that others still rec-
ognize the importance of voting.
However, no matter how many of us
register and vote, many citizen's
voles in Ihe U.S. simply do not
count.
For example, a 50 percent black
voting bloc can basically do nothing
lo defeat a 70 percent white voting
bloc, even if all voting age blacks are
registered and vole. They simply
have lo be satisfied with being repre-
sented by someone they voted
against. This is not fair and it does
not have to happen.
Most democracies in ihe world do
not elect represenlalives using our
"yvinner-lake-air electoral system.
Insiead. ihey use systems of propor-
tional representation (PR). PR is not
complicated, it works just like it
sounds — people are represented
proixirtionally based on their vote.
Insiead of having a strong 50 percent
black vote thrown away. 50 percent
of the vote would equal 50 percent
of I he seats.
Congresswoman Cynthia Mc-
Kinney of Georgia essentially had
her black majorily district taken
away from her this past summer by
Ihe Supreme Court. In response to
this action, she will be proposing leg-
islation which would allow for pro-
portional and semi-proportional vot-
ing systems. This type of legislation
is essential if we want to have fair
representation for blacks, women,
third parties and all people of color.
PR would allow blacks lo elect rep-
resentatives without the pulilical
conlroversies of gerrymandering, for

ing issues please conlael Five College

only imagine the sheer terror I expe-
rienced when I looked to see that this
lackadaisical and somewhat rude
McDonald's worker was in fact —
me.
Only it gels worse. There was no
doubt it was a bizarre clone of myself
standing before me. but for some rea-
son I looked a bit different. My hair
was slightly longer, thinner and
greasier arxl 1 had an enormous dis-
play of acne covering my face. "Can I
help you." my evil twin said in a
deadpan voice.
I woke up in a cold sweat.
Yes. I am a senior. 1 yvill be gradu-
ating in May, and the fact of the mat-
ter is — I have absolutely no idea
what I want to do with my life. I've
done a pretty good job
of ignoring this fact for
quite some time, but the
truth that I will soon be
leaving the University is
growing closer and clos-
er. Even my sub-conscious is begin-
ning to remind me.
The fact of the matter is. this all
seemed to creep up on me rather
quickly. I first started noticing 1 must
be a senior when telephone conversa-
tions with my mother starting becom-
ing like interrogations by the CIA.
'Hi, Mom. '
"Hi, Malt. What are you going to
do with your life?'
jeez, so much for beating around
the bush. The main concern of par-
ents seems to be. not so much that I
gel a great job that pays six-digit fig-
ures, but rather I never, ever, no mat-
ter under what circumstances, move
back into their house again.
C)on't get me wrong — it's not that
I want to move back into my house.
I'm sure in the next couple weeks I'll
begin having dreams I am
60-years-old, living at home and
playing Scrabble with my
105-year-old mother. I just want to
be happy, be able to live on my own,
and work in a job that doesn't
require having lo say the words
"Have a nice day."
I'm a relatively smart guy. I'm a
journalism major who gets fairly
decent grades, and I've done a sub-
stantial amount of writing. But
awhile back I had a friend who
graduated from UMass with a
degree in Civil Engineering. He
ended up delivering pizzas for a
year before he was forced to join
the military for fear he would mur-
der the next drunken, snot-nosed
college student who gave him a
dime for a tip.
1 don't want lo join the military. I
don't want to have to fear I may mur-
der innocent college students. I don't
want to have to see the Golden
Arches when I pull into work every
morning.
I don't think this is a lot to ask.
considering I've dumped thousands
upon thousands of dollars into this
institution of higher learning. I'm not
saying the University owes mc any-
thing — I'm really just using it as a
scape-goal for my own apathy — I
just wish a college degree meant
something more, and that there was
some sort of guarantee I could gel at
least a decent job. But alas, there are
no guarantees and the fact of the
matter is I'll probably end up freezing
my ass off at some gas-station pump-
ing for the Man.
"Have a nice day."

A few rotten apples
The Million Man March was an event that will live
in the hearts of generations for years to come.
Not since the sixties has an event of such power
and premise been witnesssed in this country.
The march was held as an event to promote change
in the black community. Black men were asked to
answer the call of responsibility; responsibility for their
yvives. responsibility for their children and most impor-
tantly, responsibility for their own lives. The spark of
the black man has grown into a raging fire. The souls of
oppresstxl black forefathers are whistling and stirring in
the breeze, unable to rest until America changes her
racist and vile ways. This change is imperative to the
harmony and prosperity of this country. It is up lo the
black men to change their ways of living and free them-
selves from mi.sery.
If ihis is the case, then perhaps black America should
start hy questioning Ihe character of the leaders who
speak about these necessary changes. Questioning the
character of America's black leaders is important.
America is not frightened of the possibilities of a few
thousand black men; America is frightened of any man
who assembles and follows the voices and ideas of bla-
tantly racist and diabolical leaders. The
question black America has to ask itself
is, can any good fruit fall from a rotten
tree?
Rev. Benjamin Chavis. Marion Barrey
and Louis Farrakhan are the leaders
black Americans chose to speak out and lead them. It
seems utterly absurd to think anyone could squeeze an
ounce of integrity from any of these men.
Benjamin Chavis, formerly a member of the NAACP,
was fired for embezzling over $525,000 in funds. The
money was used lo pay a woman off lo not make public
the charges that she was sexually harassed by Chavis.
During ihe march, one of Ihe Islam Nation's ministers
asked if each of the marchers would pass down a dollar
lor the cause. Would you want Benjamin Chavis or
someone of his character lo collect and handle your
money? The fact goes unmentioned that it is illegal to
lake up any monetary collection on Federal properly.
Mayor Marion Barry is a convicted felon. He was
videolaped smoking crack cocaine by ihe Drug
Enforcement Administration. Also, while serving time
in prison. Barry solicited prostitutes on several different
occasions. One of the primary messages of the march
was that the use of illegal drugs should be stopped.
How can we advocate this coming from a man who
uses them?
Louis Farrakhan is by far the president of this grow-
ing hypocrite club. Here is a man who, by his own
words, is a racist, bigot and anti-Semitic. He has
referred to whites and lews as being "devils and
blood-suckers." How ironic is it that Farrakhan speaks
freely as he sees prudent about peace and harmony in
the black community, when he condones racism? Yes.
it is a positive idea black men need to start taking
responsibility, but he continues to hold while people
responsible for all the black man's woes. Fie blames the
white man for blacks killing blacks. He blames Ihem for
putting drugs and guns into the hands of black men.
The number of black problems Farrakhan blames on
the lews is countless.
It is also an outrage that any of these men can act
and preach in hatred in the name of Allah. By no means
did Allah want men haling each other. Nevertheless,
these hateful tyrants, as history has shown, will perish
when Allah passes judgement upon
them. Someone once said, "Hell is an
evil place for people and the lawyers who
defend them." (No O.j. pun intended.)
The black race is a strong one. Blacks
certainly deserve more than a modern
day Hitler to lead them. Martin Luther King and Haile
Selassie were men who believtxl in peace, and loving
your brother, no matter what his race or religious con-
victions were. They were men who believed in integra-
tion, and segregation.
The Million Man March was a wonderful idea: the
idea that thousands of men can join in a common pur-
pose and peace. However, we cannot overlook the
deep-seeded, hidden messages behind several of the
march's speakers. It is our responsibility as blacks,
whites and all other races to question the character of
those who lead us. Dr. Martin Luther King jr. said it
best; "judge people nol by the color of their skin, but
by the color of their character." May God rest his
.soul.

G. Love leads a blues explosion
Backed Iry Special Sauce, Pearl Street is electrified with tunes
By Jason Fbx
Collegian Staff
G LOVE A SPECIAL iAUCE
Pearl Street
Oct 28
NORTHAMPTON — Saturday night. Pearl Street
could have been called the house of blues. After all, G,
Love and Special Sauce were scheduled to play their
mellow rap influenced blues tunes in front of a packed
club.
As the sold out crowd walked in, all that could be seen
on stage were lit candles and sticks of burning incense
which made a proper metaphor for the laid-back atmos-
phere that was to come. Opening the set with a new-
number off of the recent Coast lo Coast Motel, G. Love
was dressed in an all black bluesman suit, and was
strapped to both a light blue vintage guitar and a har-
monica.
G. Love then led his baryd into one of the many crowd
favorites "Cold Beverages" which featured an ace drum
solo. Most impressive throughout the night was the musi-
cianship and tightness G. Love's group showed. For
example, stattd- up bassist (limmy "jazz" Prescott) won
the crowd over with his amazing fretwork he exhibited
during one of his many brief solos.
Although S|>ecial Sauce was definitely in full effect, G.
Love was still the one whom all eyes were on. During
"Blues Music." one of the highlights of the night. G.
Love paid tribute <o many of his Blues heroes, singing
about B.B. King and Buddy Guy.
During the set there was a great deal of improvisation
going on. During "Baby's Got Sauce." G. Love added
some new tasty guitar licks, ending the song by singing
the verse "love one another" and asking the crowd to
recite it back (which they had no problem doing.) Then
as G. Love and Special Sauce left the stage, it was obvi-
ous to see they would give us all a few encores.
Coming out with a cover of the Beatles' "Help," G.
Love sang it with his somewhat whiny voice while giving
a blues twist that practically made it unrecognizable to
ihe listener. Lastly, ihey went through a few more songs
off toast to Coasi Motel ending with "Sweet Sugar
Mama."
Alter seeing G. Love in concert, it is safe to say that
you didn't see a legend like B.B. King or Elvis. However,
after watching G. Love take bits and pieces from all of
his idols, it becomes apparent that he can do it with the
same sense of honesty as musicians like jon Spencer and
the Beastie Boys. Lastly, from the sound of all of those
screaming fans at Pearl Street Saturday night. G. Love
must be doing something right.

French Primitivism displayed
at Mount Holyoke art exhibit

Collegion Correspondent
PEASANTS AND 'PKIMmviSM':
FRENCH PRINTS FROM MILLH TO
GAUGUIN
Mount Holyoke College Art
Muieom
Oct. 21 -Dec. 17
In this exhibition at Mount
Holyoke College Art Museum,
some eighty prints in diverse tech-
niques have been selected by guest
curator Robert L. Herbert in
order to explore aspects of the
graphic arts in ninetcenth-ceniury
France.
The works range from Realism
and Impressionism to Post-
Impressionism. Many of these
works are by famous artists such
as |.F. Millet. Camille Pissarro and
Paul Gauguin, while others aa- by
less well-known printmakcrs such
as Adolphe Hcrvier and Auguste
Lepere.
In last Thursday's lecture about
the exhibition. Professor Robert
L. Herbert, a member of the facul-
ty of Mount Holyoke College
Department of Art, explained the
development and meaning of the
"Primitivism" movement in late
nineteenth-century France.
Robert L. Herbert was intro-
duced by the director of the muse-
um, Marianne Doezema, who
pointed out that "he is one of the
foremost scholars in Ihe field of
nineteenth- century French art."
He has published many books and
even was decorated by the French
government as "Chevalier d'Art et
Lcttres."
The exhibition deals with the
concept of Primitivism. not only
in subject but also in technique
and style. The development of
deliberately crude or "primitive"
processes for making etchings,
lithographs and woodcuts was
paralleled by the upsurge of
images of peasants and small town
folk.
Taking into account that
Industrialization and Urbanization
were at full swing at that lime in
France, the development of the
Primitivism movement seems to
be a fundamental paradox. "But it
is only an apparent one." Herbert
said. "Primitivism and the indus-
trialized culture are one."
At first controversies arose
when peasants became the subject
of artwork — a shocking assault
on the tradition of aristocratic,
noble life, which idealized themes
drawn from history and mytholo-
gy. But they quickly became very
popular as pre-lnduslrial condi-
tions of rural life, labor and land-
scape satisfied p-ople's longings
for old ways, for nature and
health.
Although peasants actually led
arduous and often miserable lives,
people held lo the myth that rural
life was healthy and pleasant.
Herbert explained thai peasants
stood for "simplicity, innocence,
stable world, freedom, closeness
to nature and individualism."
Urban fX)verty and hard factory
work made city dwellers seek for a
kind of compensation.
The exhibition shows both the
simple beauty and charm of these
"primitive" works of an and the
significant relationship between
art and society at a certain point
of its development. "Cela vaut la
peine" - it is worth lo go and see
it.
Museum hours are 1 1 am lo 5
pm, Tuesday to Friday and Ipm lu
5 pm, Saturday and Sunday ll is
free and open to ihe public.

GKEN DAY
Insomniac
Worner Brothers
Sid Vicious must be rolling in his
grave as he sees the new wave of
punk bands. The pissed off attitude
of the Clash and the Sex Pistols have
made way for a new vision main-
stream punk. These days everyone
wants to be a snot- nosed,
purple-haired rebel. To borrow from
a 1970s soft- drink commercial. "I'm
a punk, she's a punk, wouldn't you
like to be a punk too'.'"
Since the onslaught of 5rd genera-
tion punk rock bands, the punk world
has changed drastically. The music
isn't geared at complacent middle
cla.ss youths, nor is out lo rattle peo-
ple's cages. Punk songs no longer
seem to have messages behind them;
instead punk bands today strive to be
just loud and obnoxious. This
neo-punk movement is being led by
those Three Stooges of mud and may-
hem. Green Day. After conquering
the airwaves of radio and M'TV. the
band has broken down barriers for
numerous bands from Offspring lo
Rancid and even the Foo Fighters.
After selling eight million copies of
an album whose title is synonymous
with "crap." the question must be
asked, can Ihe world take more of
this "crap"'.' Well Green Day certain-
ly thought so when they released
their latest album. Insomniac. Call it
Dookie 2 or Dookie Strikes Back.
but don't call it dumb.
Billie joe Armstrong. Mike Dirnt
and Tre Cool knew they had to
release a follow-up to their unex-
pected major label smash before
another band stole their thunder
(Hootie and the Blowfish don't
count). Plus the band's core audi-
ence, teenagers, did nol want the
band to change their trademark
sound — they are just begging for
more hits like "Basket Case" and
"Longvicw." But after four albums,
the band hasn't grown up musically
at all. which makes one wonder how
much longer this trio can continue
their routine before it becomes hack
neycd.
Once again the band follows the
Ramones rules for songwriting —
short and catchy. Coming in at just
under 55 minutes, the 14 songs on
Insomniac each last about as long as
one of Mike Tyson's fights. Little dit-
ties such as "Brat" and "jaded" come
at you like pugnacious pellets of
punk perfection that slam down their
point and end faster than you can
say. "Green Slink Breath."
Glimpses of musical growth are
rare, with the metallic "Brain Stew"
and the fierce instrumental opening
of "Panic Song" as the main excep-
tions. Their basic formula hasn't
changed much either — three
chords, a faux -English accent with
raw, pulsing energy.
One might think this puckish
threesome lacks talent and manners,
which is debatable, but their melcxJic
harmonies, in your face musical
approach and their devil-may-care
attitude makes the band stand out.
Bille joe Armstrong may proclaim in
"Walking Contradiction," "I'm a
smart-ass but I'm playing dumb."
but Insomniac proves that the band
knows how to assemble an album
that keeps the listener awake. This
band's 1 5 minutes of fame is hardly
over. B

Volleyball wins ninth straight
By Chris Stamm
Collegian Staff
Nothing out-lasis the Massachusetts volleyball
team. They keep winning and winning and win-
ning...
If there is one word that can describe coach
Bonnie Kenny's squad, that would have to be
momentum. The Minutewonien have not dropped a
match since Oct. 7. when they lost a three-game
battle to George Washington (15-10, 15-12 and
15-I2>. Since then. it"s been nothing but checks in
the win column as UMass has won the last nine
Mraight games, thus posting an impressive 20-9
i. verall record. 1 1-4 in Atlantic 10 play.
The most recent victims were trounced in this
past weekend's three game conference road trip to
Philadelphia and New York.
First up ftir the Minutewomcn were the Temple
Owls, coached by Bob Bertucci. Kenny's former
collegiate coach at the University of Tennessee. The
last lime these two inier-confcrence rivals met. the
match was fought to the bitter end, with
Massachusetts picking up the win in a five- game
battle.
This time around, the Minutewomen returned
trom McGonigle Hall with another win. Temple.
which dropped to 12-10 overall after the loss (6-7
in the A- 10) once again put up a strong light.
UMass took the match in four, winning 15-12.
15-8. 14- lb and 15-6.
Leading the way for the Minutewomen's ollense
was junior outside hitler Giza Rivera who posted
an impressive 25 kills. Following close behind was
junior outside hitter Dionne Nash, who tallied lb
kills on the night, senior middle blocker Rachel Sky
( 14 kills! and sophomore Lesley Nolan ( 1 1 kills).
After the close fought battle with Temple, it was
smooth sailing for the Minutewomen. UMass dis-
posed of LaSalle handily, dropping the hapless
Explorers (3-18. 1-12 in the A-10) in three. A
quick glance at the scorecard summarizes the bat-
tle: 15-2. 15-8 and 15-8.
Once again. Nash was an offensive power at the
net posting 20 kills on the evening. The offensive
slats were spread around the UMass squad as each
player that suited up for the game tallied at least
two or three kills.
A contributing factor to the decisive UMass vic-
tory came from man power. While Kenny had 12
athletes suited up for the match. LaSallc had a
mere six. Even with the Explorers playing at lull
power, the Minutewomen were just loo strong ol a
team to put up a fight.
The Minutewomen faced much of the same
low-key play when they travelled to the Bronx.
NY. to face the Lady Rams of Fordham who stand
at 5-20 overall. UMass won in three, running over
the opposition 15-1. 15-8 and 15-6. This win
slammed the door shut in the A- 10 basement,
which seems to be where Fordham. 0-1 5 in con-
ference play, is destined to reside for the remainder
of the season.
Rivera led the team in kills, posting 11, followed
by Nash who tallied 10 for the evening. Nash, the
Lancaster. Calif, native, also earned her 1.000th
kill in her three-year collegiate career. With 1,005
kills under her belt, Nash is the first player in
school history to reach the 1 .000 mark in kills.
Can UMass go all the way'.' With five games
remaining in the regular season, the Minutewomen
look to extend their win streak right into the A-10
tournament. While momentum is behind Kenny's
squad, the Minutewomen must face olf against
conference leaders George Washington and Rhode
Island once more before securing their spot.
Nash and company take to the floor of the
Curry Hicks Cage again as they look to revenge
losses earlier in the season to GW Friday and
Virginia Tech Saturday. Both matches begin at 7
p.m.
UMass
continued trom poge 10
kit of credit." Alessio said. "The mud is just part of
the game. We have to play in it. It's what makes
football fun.'
Then you have redshirt freshman Matt lordan.
The IXrry. N IF native was given the ball only six
times. If you want to talk about making the most of
opportunities, this kid wrote the book.
lordan surfc-d 174 yards on the mud-laden field.
lX>ing the math, that's an average of 29 yards per
earn And pcviple are worried about what will hap-
pen when senior lullback Rene ingoglia graduates,
lordan can fill the Nhoes like odor- eaters. Like
Alessio, one of Jordan's rushes (70 yards) resulted
in a touchdown.
"Matt lordan is a great football player. He is a
physical player with great speed and vision."
Hodges said. "We hoped he was that good when we
recruited him and to step it up today like he did
was really something."
Speaking of Ingoglia. the all-time UMass rushing
leader did not gain 100 yards. It's hard to imagine a
game where the Minutemen have over 500 yards
rushing, and Ingoglia doesn't have at least 100 of
them. He did have 87 yards, but the dirty work was
left to .Messio and lordan Ingoglia played the role
of the relief pitcher closing out offensive drives. He
had three touchdowns including a pair of one- yard
TD runs to go with a 10-yard scoring scamper.
"We felt the reason the other guys could make
big plays was that they were so concerned with
stopping Rene. When you come out with the option
it gels things going," Hodges said. "I don't know
what the yardage shows, but he was a huge factor
in the game today."
Finally there is the other back. When you think
ol the qualities of a quarterback, you usually think
of passing. Sophomore Anthony Cattcrton did not
pass. He did however, do all of the other things a
quarterback needs to do to win. He displayed
speed, poise, leadership and the ability to handle
the muddy pigskin.
Overshadowed by the running backs. Cattenon
made big gains possible. Most of the big runs were
on options or pitches in which Calterton made
great decisions. When the lime came to flip the ball
to the running back, the ball was perfectly placed in

When Calterton opted to keep the ball, he dis-
played some running back qualities of his own.
scoring two touchdowns. His touchdown runs were
28 and eight- yard TD runs.
"Since he's started he hasn't missed a beat. He
jumps in a game and gets the job done." Alessio
said. "He's a leader on the field and a great quarter-
back."
"Anthony Cattcrton does a great job back there."

The Minutemen running game is one of the very
best; altering an already successful offense to make
passing more visible makes no sense.

Cornell's Karyn Anderer was grabbing at Rachel LeDuc's shirt on this play but the senior for-
ward got the last laugh as her two goals propelled the Minutewomen to a 2-1 win.

lust three minutes later. UMass almost reliv-
ed the goal thai cost them the Temple game.
Cornell's Carrie Fader tossed a shot from
the far corner which knuckled in the swirling
wind of Richard F. Garber Field and seni
Dion back-pedaling to the far post. The
UMass keeper knocked the ball away, but the
deflected shot went off the goalpost and
bounced back to the front of ihe goal mouth
just inches from the goal line. Freshman
defender Amanda Thompson was there to
send the ball out of harm's way and Cornell
wouldn't have another good scoring chance
the rest of the match.
"It was great to come back from that letdown
as flukey as it was." Rudy said of the victory
over Cornell. "It's good to gel back psychologi-
cally, the fact that that loss was an oddity and
we can beat these teams."
The Minutewomen return to action Friday, as
they look to defend their crown in the Atlantic
10 tournament, which will be held at Garber
Field.
"We need to play hard and play our game."
LeDuc said. "Hopefully, [we can] come out
with two victories "

By Leigli Torbin
Collegian Staff
The Massachusetts men's soc-
cer team maintained its hold of
the second place spot in the
Atlantic 10 this weekend by win-
ning a pair of important confer-
ence matches in Philadelphia.

ture the elusive A- 10 post- season
title and advance to an NCAA

No. 5 equestrian team
hoping for National spot
By Julio Wrobal
Coll«gian Correspondent
The Equestrian team, one of the
oldest sport teams at
Massachusetts, has come a long
way. It was 19 years ago when the
team first went to the Nationals in
Texas. Currently, the team is No. 5
in the nation.
Two years ago the team qualified
for nationals again in Texas, where
they rode their best but didn't place.
Last year, they made a complete turn-
around and placed fifth out of 200
college and university teams at the
Nationals, held in Colorado.
The Equestrian team is under the
direction of coach Wendy Cicciu and
her assistant, recent graduate Julie
Watson.
The Equestrian team has aspira-
tions of qualifying again for the
Nationals, to be held in the spring of
1996 in Los Angeles, and by placing
better than last year. The team is well
on it's way to attaining that goal by
their never-ending hard work, deter-
mination, talent and total dedication
to iheir sport.
The team has taken part in three
competitions so far this semester. For
the opening show, UMass placed
third out of 15 group-entered
schools. The team also won the
"High Point Rider" of the day award.
For this award, a rider must win two
blue ribbons in two classes — fences
and flatwork. There was a tie
between two UMass riders. Colleen
Hayduk and Angela jasper, for this
award. The tie called for a ride- off
between the two riders and jasper
won the honor for that competition.
The second show was Oct. 22 at
Mt. Holyoke College. UMass placed
second out of 1 5 other colleges from
New England.
At the competition. UMass was
surprised and pleased to see among
its supporters of family and friends.
Dr. Freeman, director of equine stud-
ies at UMass. The team was very
enthused to see a member from the
animal science department taking an
active interest in their work.
The final show for the semester is
scheduled for Saturday. Nov. 4 —
rain or shine — and is hosted by the
UMass team at Hadlcy Farm.

option well in just ridiculous condi-
tions."
At the end of the first quarter
Lehigh held a 14-7 advantage, as
Aylsworth completed 10 passes in a
row including his second touch-
down pass of the day. Deron
Braswell was on the receiving end
of the toss. The Lehigh QB threw
between two UMass defenders on
the left side of the endzone for the
score.
In the second quarter, Cattcrton
ended a 65-yard drive as he ran it
in from 28 yards out, tying the
game al 14. On the next series the
Engineers went three and out. Then
Matt lordan broke out for a
career-high 75-yard run down to
the Lehigh 15. Three plays later,
Calterton tallied up his second
rushing TD on the afternoon with
an eight -yard scamper.
The Minutemen led at the half.
26-14. after a one-yard run by
Ingoglia. who scored three TDs on
the day. moving him last jerry Rice
in the all-time l-AA scoring leaders
and into sixth place with 5U8 total
career points.
"The offensive line did a great job
in controlling the line of scrimmage
again." Ingoglia said. "We scored
when we had to score, and the
defense stopped them when we had
to stop them. When you do that
you're going to win games... and
we did."
Throughout the third quarter,
Ingoglia kept the Minutemen rolling
with two more TDs. However.
Aylsworth kept the Engineers in it
with the final two of his four TD
passes on the day. The last coming
at the start of the fourth quarter
pulling the Engineers back within
10.
"My hat's off to Lehigh's QB."
Hodges said. "He never misses, he
puts the ball whenever he needs to
put it. He's a heck of a player. He
put on a show."
Jordan broke it out again right
after Lehigh's touchdown to begin
the fourth. He bolted 70 yards for
the score and a 44-28 UMass lead.
"The holes were there and I just
tried to make things happen." said
lordan. who finished with 174
yards rushing on only six carries. "I
thought the line blocked well all
day long, and I took what I could
get."
Lehigh added on more TD and
closed the gap to within eight. But
with 2:24 left in the game.
Aylsworlh's pass went right off the
hands of receiver Mark Wilson and
the comeback fell short, sealing the
UMass victory.
The Minutemen had some trou-
ble on the day converting extra
points after the TDs. Twice UMass
failed on two conversions, two
extra-points were missed wide right
and one was blocked. UMass will
take its 5-3 record to Maine next
week for the first of three straight
Yankee Conference match-ups. all
on the road to close out the season.
"Everybody just kept playing and
kept playing hard, and we got a big
win out of it," Hodges said. "Lehigh
is a good football team and we're
getting there ourselves. That's three
in a row and we got three more to
go"

.settled and focused on our own play
and played great hockey for the rest
of the game."
UMass was able to get on the
board just three minutes into the sec-
ond half when senior captain Streya
Volla scored on a penalty comer off
assists from freshman Kate Putnam
and sophomore Sharon Hughes.
"I was happy Streya got the oppor-
tunity to show what she is capable
of.* said Donnelly of her captain.
"She's been working so hard on her
penalty corner shots and she finally
broke through."
The game remained scoreless
throughout the rest of the second
half, due in part to Massachusetts
junior goalkeeper Stacy Walker, who
faced 17 St. joe's shots, thwarting 1 1.
However the Hawks, who had 14
penalty corners on the day to
Massachusetts' two. received two
early in the first overtime and were
able to convert on the second.
The win means the Hawks finish
the regular season campaign with a
perfect 4-0 record in the Atlantic 10,
assuring them the No. 1 seed in next
weekend's tournament. St. joe's will
play either l.aSalle or Kordham, while
UMass will square off against the No.
3 seed. Temple.
The Owls are a learn the
Minutewomen have beaten already
this season, and also the team that
knocked UMas.s off its perch last year
by defeating the Minutewomen in the
A-10 tournament finale.
"We're never happy with a loss.*
Donnelly said. "But il sets up a big
weekend for us. We always play well
against Temple. We'll be revved up
for it."
The Owls will be hosting this
year's tournament, so UMass will face
its league rivals on their own home
turf. Then, if the Minutewomen can
move past Temple, they would head
to a likely rematch with this same St.
Joseph's team.
"If we win, il is possible we'll see
St. k>c's again and I think we match
up well w\|h them." Donnelly said.

Hockey powers past Anny to take season opener
By Uigh TofiMn
Collegian Staff
WtST POINT. NY — The Massactiusett> hivkey team
was not affected by tlie pouring rain outside Army's Tale
Rink on Friday nigtit. Its umbrella worked tHMter than
ever.
Ttie team's "umbrella" pi>wer play pro-
duced a scliool- record five power-play
goals to lead ttie Minutomen to a 6-?
thumping of Army in their season open-
er.
By going an astounding 5-for- 1 1 on the power play.
UMass registered 25 percent of last season's power
play output In 1994 95. the Minutemen scored a total
of 20 power play goals, and never more than two in a
game
The first power play forward unit of Sal Manganaro.
Rob Bonneau and \\'arren Norris combined for four goals
and six assists on the night as the Mtnutemen defeated the
Cadets for the third time In as many years.
"Ttiere's only one explanation |for our success on the
power play] and that's experience." Manganaro said. "Our
Manadmsetts 6
Army
experience from last year carried over. We've been work
ing hard In preseason and we put a nice power play
tonight. We were coming to the net with fire in our eyes
tonight and it paid off. I'm as happy as I could ever be
with It and I'm looking to continue to improve |the power
play] as the season goes on."
"We returned an experienced group on
the power play and we started working on
It early and often." said UMass coach |oe
Mallen. "They moved the puck well and
understood what they were to supposed ti>
do. They got the puck to the net quickly and that's a big
part."
UMass jumped on the lx>ard early as Manganaro tucked
in the retiound of a Dale Hooper slap shot from the point,
on the power play, just 5:59 into the game.
The MInutemen doubled their lead as Bonneau fired
home the rebound off a Manganaro shot at 10:07
Army mounted a comeback as team captain Ian Winer
scored unassisted on a 2-on'^l break 1:08 later, and BUI
Morrison converted a beautiful power play set up from
Winer and Dan hiinote at the 16:47 mark of the first peri-
od.
Unlike a few instances last year. UMass held its compo-
sure, regrouped and wa^ able to sustain its pressure
Bonneau made it a '5 2 game on a power play at 6:0b of
the second period Bonneau collected the rebound of a
Tom Perry vhol at the Ich po^l and sjw that Cadet goal-
tender Daryl Chamberlain had the net covered. Rather
than shiKiting the puck. Bonneau crossed the crease and
slipped in a backhand between the goalie and the far post.
It was a pure goalscorer'- move.
After Army knotted things at 5-5 with a 25-foot blast
by Leif tiansen on the power play. UMas!< took the lead
for g«x)d.
At itw 9:24 mark of the second. Norris took a 15-foot
shot that was going wide, but it deflected off of an Army
defenseman and past Chamberlain.
Tom O'Connor •^corc'd L'Mass' fifth goal 12:57 into ttie
third on a power play ^lap shot from the blue line, and
Chris Fawcetl iced the victorv with an enipty-nelter at
19:48
Army played a solid game as the tenacious team twice
battlc-d back from deficits, but its third periixl efforts were
to no avail, as UMass goaltender Brian Regan held his
ground en route to the win.
"Army does not quit and I'm glad for that tjccause they
defend our country." Manganaro quipped
The win was important for the Minutemen who needed
to start off the season on the right foot. Last year, the
Minutemen did not win their first game until New Year's
Kve when thcN beat Notre Dame in overtime at the
William D Mullins Center.
Many of the losses in the season opening 0-14-1
stretch can be attributed to ttie lack of confidence that
accompanies such a streak. In close games. UMass had the
skills, but did not have the mental strength to pull out a
victory. After the win though they had the season's mi>sl
impressive stretch as they went 5-4- 1 . including a stun-
ning win over No. I Maine.
"(This win] was huge." Mallen said. "Il look 15 games
last year to gel a win and our guys remember that We've
got one now and we'll see if we can build on that with two
and three against Merrimack."
"[Starting off with a win] is definitely a plus," Bonneau
said. "We started off |0-14 1] last year and you come
back here in the first game and get a victory. It's a whole
new attitude for us and hopefully we can lake il into ihe
Merrimack series."
UMass wins fifth of year
By Mike Corey
Coll«gian Staff
Once again the rainy weather and
flood watch warnings were in effect
and so was the UMass running attack.
While the weather
put a damper on many
of the fans' plans to
attend the last home
game of the season, it
didn't slop the Minutemen faithful,
who were scattered around the >-tands
with their umbrellas and rain gear to
witness Mud Bowl II In doing so, they
saw the Massachusetts football team
come up with its third straight \ictory.
while setting a new school record for
total rushing yards with 515
The Minutemen pounded out
seven touchdowns on iheir way to a
44-56 triumph over the Engineers of
Lehigh. Junior running back Frank
Alessio ran for 206 yards on 20 car-
ries and one TD. helping the
Minutemen break their previous
school record of 476 total yards rush-
ing set in 1995 against Delaware.
In a game that didn't offer much of
a defensive display, the Minutemen
out-dueled the Engineers with the
running attack, while Lehigh took it
to the air.
"We knew that Lehigh could put
points on the board and we knew it
was going to be a battle." Alessio
said. "I felt like I was playing Sega,
50 many points were getting put on
the t>oard back and forth."
Massachusetts quarterback
Anthony Catterton only attempted
three passes on the day with no com-
pletions. On the other hand, Lehigh
quarterback Bob Aylsworth, was a
phenomenal 50-for-48 passing, for
557 yards and four TDs.
After Saturday's action, both
teams stand at 5-5. The loss snapped
Lehigh's three-game winning-streak,
while the win extended the
Minutemen's winning streak to three.
Lehigh threw first mud. as the
Engineers lit up the scoreboard for
seven points a little more than four
MassaclNissttt 44
LBM0h
minutes into the game. Aylsworth
tossed an 1 1 -yard pass to a wide open
tight end David Meuivr, to the left side
of the endzone. The UMass defense
was out to lunch on the play. The
Engineer drive took 10 plays to go 64
yards for the game's
opening score.
Fifty-six seconds
later the Minutemen
tied up the contest
with one of the many big runs on the
day. Alessio ran 51 yards off to the
right side finding paydirt Catterton
faked the handoff to the left side to
senior Rene Ingoglia. drawing the
defense and opening up the right for
Alessio.
"That was just an awesome display
by the offensive line today." said
UMass coach Mike Hodges. "I'm
really proud of the way they played,
and jthe offensive line] Is all coming
back [next year] which is really nice.
Offensively that's got to be as good
of a show we've put on here in a
long, long time. Anthony Catterton
handled the ball great and ran Ihe

Saturday, the Minutemen were
able to put 44 ptiinis on the score-
board. UMass defeated Lehigh

passes.
For Ihe third
consecutive week,
the field sported a
surplu'' of mud. For
the third consecu-
tive week, the UMass passing
game was not even a smidgen of
importance in the outcome of the
game. And for the third consecu-
tive week, UMass was victorious.
To many teams, a passing game
is vital to a strong offense.
Watching UMass makes you won-
der if il knows that throwing the
ball is legal.
One reason UMass was able to
score 44 points was due to a
school record it broke. The
Minutemen backs combined for
5/5 rushing yards, setting a new
schot)l mark for a single game.
"I'll tell you what." UMass
coach Mike Hodges said, "offen-
sively, that has got to be as good a
show we've put on here in a long,
long time."
Contributing largely to the
astronomical total
was junior tailback
Frank Alessio.
Alessio got his
hands on the ball
20 times, and man-
aged to compile 206 yards on the
slippery surface. He got his first
big taste with 6:56 remaining in
the first quarter when he busted
through the Lehigh defense leav-
ing 5 1 -yards worth of mud tracks
to the end /.one.
That was Alessio's only touch-
down on the day. He continued to
march the Minutemen down the
field with an average of at>out 10
yards per carry.
"I'm not big on numbers. I
think the offensive line deserves a

Minutevtfomen fall to Owls, beat Cornell
By Justin C. Smith
Collegian Staff
Temple
Massachusetts
By taking a look at the statistics from the two
Massachusetts women's scKcer matches this week-
end, it would be easy to assume that they won both
games handily. The Minutewonien
out shot their opponents 52-12,
while taking five more corners
kicks. They just couldn't find the
back of the net with enough regu-
larity to sweep Ihe weekend.
The end result was a .500 weekend with a con-
vincing 2-1 victory over a up-and-coming Cornell
squad, to bounce back from their lough luck 1-0
loss to Atlantic 10 rival Temple.
Friday in Philadelphia the Minutewomen con-
trolled every facet of the match with the Owls, but
could not find the back of the net
The Minutewomen entered the final
two minutes of regulation in a
scoreless lie. Then. Temple's Kim
Fitzgerald lofted a 50 yard cross
from the endline which sailed over everyone and
dropped under the crossbar and gave the Owls the
fluke victory.
"The ball was literally on the touch line and
Massachusetts
Cornell
Fil7.gerald just turned and blindsided the ball."
explained Massachusetts coach Jim Rudy. "Il just
twisted into the upper corner. These things hap-
pen, you just hope they don't happen that often,"
With the loss to Temple, UMass needed a victory
in the regular season finale to right its ship, as well
as make an impression on the
post season picture. From the out-
set, the Minutewomen proved they
meant business.
Less than a minute into the
match, freshman Karin lohnson sent a perfect
through ball to the lop of the penalty area which
Rebecca Myers collected and poked through the
defense to an open Rachel LcDuc. Then LeDuc, a
senior co- captain, had Cornell goaltender Mary
Ann Bell at her mercy, as she deposited the ball in
the back of the net for a quick 1 -0 lead.
The quick start seemed to pick
up the Minutewomen. as they con-
tinued to buzz around the Big
Red's goal. UMass had three comer
kicks and a direct kick from 22
yards away in ihe following 1 5 minutes, but could
not capitalize on the opportunities, as the lead
remained at one. Il was a lead that would not last.
In the 24lh minute. Genna Terranova worked a
beautiful give-and-go with teammate Brilta Seppi.
Terranova was lefi alone at the top of the lx)x and
the Ridgefield. Conn, native made no mistake as
she beat UMass goalkeeper Danielle Dion to the iar
post to knot the game at one.
The goal seemed to light a fire under the Big
Red. as they pressured the UMass defense with a
flurry of runs, but ihey were turned away time after
lime.
During a Cornell flurry, senior Nikki Ahrenhol/.
stepped up and kniKked away a through ball that
sent lohnson on a counter attack The ball ended
up in the far corner where Sandy Shimogaki col-
lected and passed to an open lulie Magid.
Magid looked up and found a streaking F'rin
Lynch, who took two dribbles before firing on net.
Bell was in position to make the save, but on the
way through LeDuc, UMass' leading goal scorer,
was in front of the Cornell net and redirected the
ball to the open side lo regain Ihe lead for the
Minutewomen in Ihe 51st minute.
"Coach said that if Erin was coming in with that
look in her eyes, like she is gonna shoot." LeDuc
said, "gel out of the way and open up some space
for her. I just saw the goallender going one way so
1 just tried to heel it and redirect il the other side."

Halloween comes to UM dorms
By Gregory Casimir
Collegian Sloff
On campus, the idea of Halloween
usually prompts people to engage in
some type of spooky frolic; dressing
up their RAs in strange and frighten-
ing costumes, going to wild costume
parties and frequenting fraternity
parties.
But this Halloween, a new and
charitable twist was added to this
year's festivities. The spirit of charity,
masquerading as caring RAs and gen-
erous floor assistants, seemed to have
the best costume: winning the hearts
of excited children, and adults alike,
who were invited to UMass to
trick-or-treat for some safe
Halloween fun.
In both Southwest and Northeast
areas of campus, two individual
events were planned to bring some
safe Halloween fun to many children
from the Springfield and Amherst
areas.
Last year in Central, children from
youth groups in Springfield were
invited to UMass to trick-or-treat as
part of a community outreach pro-
gram. The tradition was carried on.
in Northeast this year. Ray Li. an RA
in Hamlin dorm, was one of the
many organizers of this event.
"It was really big in Central last
year, and thought we should continue
it. but expand it as well."
This year, many youth groups came
from Springfleld. and about a dozen
Amherst after-school programs par-
ticipated. Li commented that a lot of
effort went in making this happen.
"We needed permission from the
Area offices, and youth group orga-
nizers. It cost f lot of money to do
this. We had to pay for candy, buses
and decorations. To say it coat a
SI. 000 would be a conservative
amount."
"At first it was just a Hamlin

thing," Li said, regarding the involve-
ment of the students, "... then a clus-
ter thing. Pretty soon, word spread
and I got calls from many people
wanting to get involved."
In Southwest, a similar function

5 UMass campuses send representatives to Qovemment Center
By Allison Connolly
Collegian Staff
The University of Massachusetts will be sending stu-
dent representatives from all five campuses to the
front lines of their battle with republican-led Congress
over financial aid. The rally begins today on the steps
of Government Center and will end with a demonstra-
tion in front of the Republican Committee
Headquarters.
The rally is organized by the Student Center for
Educational Research and Advocacy (SCERA). The group
expects a turnout of 800 students from 25 private and
public colleges.
Sophomore [enn Corbett. a senator of the Student
Government Association and a SCERA coordinator of the
event, said this should provide the spark for other institu-
tions across the country to rally in defense of flnancial aid
programs.
"We wanted the rest of the country to hold similar ral-
lies on the same day." Corbett said. "We hope they will
take it upon themselves to do the same thing."
Corbett hopes all students who depend on financial aid
will attend the rally and take action on their own initia-
tive.
"If they don't come, in a sense, they deserve the cuts to
their aid." Corbett said. "They can't just sit back and
watch us do it. Everyone has to."
The rally begins at 1 1 a.m. with speeches from State
Senator David Magnani. UMass professor Richard
Rogers, and several student leaders and activists. Students
will then march to the front of the Republican Regional
Committee office where speakers and demonstrators v«ll
voice their grievances.
SGA Speaker Dan Castellano is optimistic about the
impact of the rally.
"We have a responsibility to the students to make a
public statement to say that we oppose the cuts."
Castellano said. "We are making a statement on a federal
level by local means."
SGA President Christine Lopes and Student Trustee
Dan Rivera returned from Washington DC, this past
weekend after an effort to lobby for increased financial
aid.
Corbett and her staff hope legislators wilt take notice of
their efforts. They have asked all media, including CNN
and MTV networks lo attend. Using these national outlets
will send iheir message loud and clear lo the politicians in
Washington, who hold the fate of the financial aid system
in their hands.
"We hope to gain a lot of media attention lo slop the
cuts." Corbett said. "We've tried conventional methods
like phone banks and letters, but we can't get Congress"
attention."
Fair answers students' career questions
By Chris Conner
Collegian Staff
Tables seating representatives from over 60 University
of Massachusetts departments filled the Student Union
Ballroom at last night's UMass Majors Fair.
Sponsored by the University ^__^^^_^^^
Advising Center, the event was
designed to present students with the
various study options available to
them at the University. Several
first-year students, many of whom
were undecided in their majors, took
advantage of the fair.
"(The fair] is pretty good for peo-
ple who don't know what they want
to do." said Mike Burque, a first-year
student who has not yet chosen a
major. "I had basic questions I want-
ed answered about jobs in majors."
Another first-year student. Emily
Roberts, has already .selected manage-
ment as her area of concentration, but
still came to the fair to consider all academic possibilities.
"{The fair) has been really helpful." she said. "I think
the people sitting at the tables were understanding
whether you were planning to make their department your

major or minor."
Despite glowing student opinions, some faculty noticed
a drop in attendance from last year's fair to the present
one.
"I think there are fewer students here overall than there
were last year or the year before." comparative literature
,^_^.^^^^^ professor William Moebius said.
"They come over one at a time. They
just drift over here."
However, resource economics pro-
fessor Richard Rogers said he was not
surprised by the decline in student
turnout.
"I'd say it's just about as I expect-
ed." he said. "I was going lo call it a
drpw. The first one was light. Ihe sec-
ond one was busy, and this one's right
in between."
Graduate advisor Rani Levy, the
coordinator for this semester's fair,
was pleased with the course the
evening took, attributing the lower
student numbers to the expansion of
UAC advising.
"I really liked the show of faculty, the show of stu-
dents." she said. "I think the students asked really good
questions, and I'm glad they got them answered."
took place. The whole event was the
brainchild of Alicia Goodman, a
Community Development Assistant
(CDA) in Coolidge The 2J year-old
senior came up with the concept in
an effort to think of some sort of
community service, which her posi-
tion as a CDA requires.
"The position of CDA was creat-
ed this year. I was a RA last year, so
when I was called and I accepted. I
was trying to think of some type of
community service and Halloween
was coming up, and then I got the
idea. I love doing things for peo-
pie.-
Gocxlman said that organizing the
event didn't require red tape from the
administration. "I talked to my
Residential Director. leff Cullen. and
he said it was okay. I didn't have to
go to the police or anything*
A large number of people in
Southwest came out to help.
Seventy five rooms volunteered in
Coolidge. and 14 lounges were used a

Kennedy.
Children and adults from Family
Housing were invited to Southwest to
participate as one of four events
planned for Halloween. Sally
Majewski. an assistant manager for
Family Housing, was glad lo lake
part.
"Alicia extended an invitation to
us. and we were glad to accept. The
parents liked the Idea of safe fun. and
since many of them are graduate stu
dents, they were glad to have the
time to be a part of an activity for the
family." she said.
Another aspect of the event was
that many families on international
exchange participated in their first
Halloween ever.
"Many cultures don't celebrate
Halloween", said Majewski, "so this
was a real experience, for both the
children and their parents.*
Canadian federalists
win by small margin
By David Crory
Asiociaiad Preis
MONTREAL — By a perilously
narrow margin. Ouebeckers heed-
ed pleas for national unity and
voted against secession Monday,
sparing Canada a traumatic frac-
ture but leaving the French speak-
ing proviiKe split down the middle
With more than «»«J percent of
the 22.400 polling stations reptirl-
ing. the federalists, with 2.314,414
votes, led by 50 5 percent to
2.294.145 votes, or 4>) 5 percent,
for the separatists Federalists cele
brated raucously at their headquar
lers. while separatists - who came
closer than many had dreamed a
few months ago — wept.
But Quebec's separatists, who
lost a l<J80 independence referen
dum by a 60-40 margin, improved
their performance so dramatically
this time that they are sure to
shake off their disappointment
and launch another try.
"Canada on paper may still be a
country — but there's something
wrong with this country." said
Louise Beaudoin. culture minister
in Quebec's separatist govern
mc-nt. "We had nine percent mt)re
than we had in 1480. Something
has to be done "
About 82 percent ol
Ouebeckers are French-speaking,
and roughly 60 percent of them
voted fur separation. As expected,
roughly 90 percent of English-
speaking and immigrant
Ouebeckers voted No. The vote
will leave scars in Quebec. But it
will hearten the throngs of
Canadians from other provinces
who joined marches, rallies and
vigils last week beseeching
Quebec lo stay.
A separatist victory would have
spelled economic turmoil for
Canada — and perhaps the great-
est political crisis of its history.
The nation would have lost one-
fourth of its people and one-sixth
of its land, a fracture without
precedent among prosperous
Western democracies.
The narrow federalist victory
will leave Quebec bitterly divided,
with defeated nationalists likely lo
seek scapegoats and plot a future
campaign lo achieve a sovereign,

"I worked 18 years for a com-

Justices to reexamine cocaine cases
By Richard Carai
AsKxiolad PfMi
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court tackled a sensi
live racial issue Moiulay. agreeing to decide whether fed-
eral prosecutors must respond lo accusations that they
discriminate against blacks in crack-cocaine cases.
The justices said they will review rulings that threw out
federal indictments against five men who had been
charged with trafficking in crack in the Los Angeles area.
The men said they were chosen for federal prosecution
because they are black, and federal prosecutors initially
refused to rebut the allegations.
The issue for the nation's highest court is not whether
racially biased prosecution took place, but whether lower
courts wrongly required the federal government lo com-
bat the selective-prosecution allegations.
A decision is expected by |uly.
The dispute involves race and economic class, as does
the national debate over the federal policy of punishing
crack-cocaine offenders much more harshly than those
caught with the powdered variety of Ihe drug.
Crack, or cocaine base, is known as an inner-city drug,
and cocaine powder is used more often in Ihe suburbs.
In other matters Monday, the court:
-Used a Virginia death-row inmate's case to make it
harder to uphold some death sentences if errors occurred
during the sentencing.
-Turned down a grandmother's attempt to reinstate an
invalidated Georgia law that had allowed grandparents lo
win court ordered visitation with their grar>dchildren over
parents' objections Rejected the appeal of Mexican busi-
nessman Ruben Zuno-Arce. sentenced lo life in prison for
his role in the 1985 kidnap, torture and murder of U.S.
drug agent Enrique Camarena.
In the crack-cocaine case. Christopher Armstrong,
Aaron Hampton. Freddie Mack. Shelton Martin and
Robert Rozelle were charged in 1 992 with participating in
a drug ring.
The charges stemmed from a joint investigation by
Inglewood. Calif., police and federal drug agents.
The decision to charge the five men with federal, rather
than slate, crimes was significant. Federal law imposes a
minimum sentence of 10 years and a maximum of life for
those convicted of selling more than 50 grams of crack.
Under California law. however, the sentence for that
crime ranges from three to five years. To support their
racial-bias claim, the five defendants pointed to a study of
every crack prosecution closed by the local federal public
defendant's office in 1991 . In all 24 such cases, the defen-
dants were black.
"What we have here is institutional racism." said Los
Angeles lawyer David Dudley, who represents one of Ihe
five men whose indictments were dismissed. "The fact of
the matter is they (federal prosecutors) are going after
black people."
Survivors tell their stories of escape
from world's worst subway accident
By Chris Bird
Associated Press
BAKU. Azerbaijan — As a nation
mourned the victims of one of the
world's worst subway disasters, sur-
vivors on Monday recalled harrow-
ing escapes through a pitch-black
tunnel billowing with clouds of toxic
smoke.
The packed train caught fire
between two subway stations in cen-
tral Baku Saturday, trapping hun-
dreds of terrified passengers. Most of
the 3(X) people killed died of a car-
bon monoxide poisoning from burn-
ing materials in the carriages; more
than 260 were injured.
President Geidar Aliev and other
officials blamed the tragedy on a mal-
function in the electrical system,
although the head of the subway sug-
gested that only a "toxic agent" could
explain the high death toll.
Survivors said Monday that it took
rescue workers and firefighters more
than two hours lo reach them after
the blaze erupted.
"There was a flash of light." 26-
year-old Ilham Gamidov said from
his hospital bed. "People smashed the
windows of the carriage, trying lo
escape."
Gamidov said he helped a wcnnan
and one of her two children clamber
out of the carriage. The woman's
stockings had caught on fire, badly
burning her legs.
"Her other child had to remain
behind," he said quietly. In another
bed in the Fifth Clinical Hospital, a
skinny 12-year-old boy, Aziz
Maradov, leaned against his pillows,
his chest wheezing from the toxic
smoke. "I was so scared." he admit-
ted.
Maradov was reunited with his 1 7-
year-old brother. Mardan. in the hos-
pital and had been told his mother
was at another hospital. But out of
earshot, a nurse confided the truth.
"She is dead," said the nurse.
"He'll know soon enough."
Sweating with fever and hoarse
from the poisonous fumes, a 51-
year-old teacher. Kirami
Khankishiyeva told her story stacca-
to-fashion, then fell silent, her
brown eyes wide and staring.
"There were screams and everyone
was trying to jump out of the train. I
was alone," she said, recalling how
she stumbled more than a mile down
the dark tunnel, choking from the
fumes, to the next station.
As survivors battled their injuries,
citizens of the Azerbaijani capital
mourned the dead
Train drivers fiashed their lights
between the stations where Ihe acci-
dent took place and red carnations
tied with black ribbons lay at the two
station entrances.

ful to prayer over a loudspeaker at

Panel of Senior TAs from various departments
Has it been difficult to negotiate your role as presumed mediator between
faculty supervisors and undergraduates? In this seminar TAs will talk about
how to maintain confidence, credibility, and authority in a classroom where
you are not "the professor," and how to establish a classroom climate that
elicits a diverse range of student responses. We will also address the challenge

Dealing with dorm room pests
hadyhugs becoming a frequent guest in students' rooms
By Melanie Smith
CollegianCofrespondent
Swarms of hundreds and even thousands of
Harmonia axyridis ladybugs have been found pestering
the Amherst area, including the University of
Massachusetts and its dormitories.
A larger number of
ladybugs have been
observed because of the
recent low number of par-
asitic enemies, mild past
winter conditions and
fairly dry conditions that
allow for a plentiful food
source in the form of
aphids. scales and other
soft body insects, said Dr.
Craig Hollingsworth.
entomologist and
Integrated Pest
Management specialist.
"Over time we should
not see the great number
of these ladybugs because
their natural enemy popu-
lation will catch up." he
said.
As a Slate Survey Coordinator for the USDA. the
topic of lady beetles sparked his interest.
Hollingswonh said He used a bit of entomological his-
tory to explain the large numbers of ladybugs recently
found in the area.
Between 1978 and 1981. the U.S. Department of
Agriculture attempted to introduce a particular specie
of the lady beetle called Harmonia axyridis to the east-
em United States in the hope of controlling pests such
as aphids. scales and the Hemlock Wooly Adelgid.
Hollingswonh said. He added that there was a 10 year
lag before the lady beetle Harmonia axyridis was
observed once again in Louisiana. The 10 year lag.
said Hollingswonh. between the release and recovery
indicates that perhaps USDA's efforts did not succeed
The Harmonia axyridii
ing up all over Amherst
across campus.
and that the introduction of the beetles to Louisiana
was an "accidental" one, possibly from an Asian ship.
The beetles, having no native natural enemies, have
increased their numbers during the summer months.
Since daylight savings time has ended and the weather
has cooled, the beetles arc seeking shelter for the winter.
Dorms serve as an ideal shelterir^ site for ladybugs dur-
ing their overwintering
riKKJe.
Once one beetle finds
ideal shelter, it emits an
"aggregating pheromone"
that attracts other beetles,
which explains the
swarms of lady beetles
within the dorms.
A Washington Tower
resident. Chris Brennan,
said he solves the inva-
sion problem of lady bee-
tles in his dorm room by
just smacking them as
lhe>' appear on his ceiling
and window shade.
"If the ladybugs find an
entry to a house, they are
likely lo exploit it. gather-
ing a mass of dozens to
thousands of beetles." Hollingswonh said. "They will
stay through the winter, without feeding, and when the
weather warms, they will disperse."
Hollingswonh advised that students vacuum the
beetles since they are "reflex bleeders" — when dis-
turbed, the insects bleed from their joints, letting off a
bad odor. He also is against the use of pesticides since
it is unnecessary and there is no legal ladybug pesti-
cides on the market.
Despite the bad wrap ladybugs have received from
dorm residents and others, the beetles are very effi-
cient in reducing the need for pesticides among grow-
ers, decreasing the number of aphids. scales and other
soft body insects, and reducing the amount of

New video focuses on eating disorders
ty Michelle HiHman
Coll.gian Staff
The Media Education Foundation of Northampton,
which produces educational videos dealing with the media
and society, has teamed up with University of
Massachusetts professors of communication Sui Ihally
and Katherine Senders for a comprehensive look at eating
disorders among college students.
"This video will be an important sequel to the one we
have just released on the relationship between advertising
images of women's bodies and the obsession with thin-
ness." jhally said.
The foundation, which produced Dream Worlds, a film
examining the images of women portrayed in rock videos,
has just completed Slim Hopes: Advertising and the
Obsession with Thinness, featuring the top campus lectur-
er in the country on the topic, jean Kilboume. in a lecture
given last semester at Amherst College.
"The goal of the study is to interview people who are in
various .stages of recovering from eating disorders and
would also like to talk with willing friends, roommates,
family members and partners." Senders said.
Senders stated that most eating disorder statistics show
women are at the highest risk and most are likely to begin
the struggle with disorders during adolescence or late
teens, but she also would like to talk with men.
"College students are coming into a relatively stressful
environment and face many pressures dealing with self
esteem and control of food intake." she said.
The video, which will be filmed until April, will focus
mainly on the effect of the media on women's body
images. Eating disorders, which are largely a western pre-
occupation, stem from the visual cues women receive
from television and magazines.
Senders said she feels that "the media feeds images we
find attractive back to us reinforcing those images."
"Not all women are obsessed with thinness." she
added. "It is a combination of extreme pressure from the
media and the expectations the conform to these pres-
sures "
Another interest of Senders is the relation of eating dis-
orders to sports. Not only does the media portray images
of thinness, but also expects women to be muscular.
"On one hand sports are a real support for people with
eating disorders, a real sense of community." she said.
"But on the other hand people sometimes compulsively
exercise. With 1 I percent of college women suffering
from bulimia nervosa, this video will address a major
health problem on campuses today, and we hope people
will share their experiences with us in order to help oth-
ers."
Water Watch targets campus pollution
By Dave UiFontana
ColUgKin Staff
Water pollution is a problem that can be found even on
the University of Massachusetts campus, according lo
members of the Water Watch fVogram.
Program members said areas on the UMass campus
have been found to be badly polluted and in need of
cleaning.
"We found that the Mill River and a stream behind
Sylvan both are badly polluted." coordinator Jeremy
Mailloux said. "The water is filled with debris. There's a
lot of metal, like oki oil drums and bed spnngs."
One of the biggest problems the members found was
road run-off from nearby streets.
'The Mill River is located on campus near the Mullins
Center, right by Routes 40 and 1 16." coordinator |ai Sood
said. "Oil from the road is seeping into the water. It"s so
bad that when you press your hand into the bank, you can
see the oil seep from the dirt.
'The pollution could be stopped if drain pipes from the
road were re-directed."
Water Watch intern Tom Vigneaull offered a specific
solution to the problem.
"If the pipes emptied out into an area with grass and
trees." he said "The green would filter out the oil before
it got into the water,"
The trash removal would be easy, as would redirecting
the oil run-off would be a problem, according to
Vigneault.
"It would be a big job lo change where the pipes
empty, bigger than we can handle." Sood said. "It is
important, though, that somebody do it. If not. the
water will just become more and more polluted with
time."
The program is also continuing to clean water ways in
the area, but a clean-up for the areas on campus are not
yet in the works.
"A clean-up is planned for this Saturday at noon at
Cushman Brook." Vigneault said. "We could use a lot of
help."
The past clean-ups in the Springfield and Amhersi-
Northampton areas have collected around lU tons of
garbage

Government should slow down
Mark
McGrarti
You may not have noticed, but
ever> day society is moving
faster and faster, and people
are becoming busier and busier.
Everyone seems to have much to do
and not quite enough time to do it.
As a resuh. everyone is always in a
hurry While on the surface, this
may not seem to be a huge problem,
it does have drawbacks. One of
those can be seen on the roads of
America.
All loo often, we
hear reports of seri-
ous automobile acci
dents. Many of these
accidents are fatal.
The victims, in most cases, are
plucked from the prime of their lives.
The number of fatal accidents is on
the rise
In 1972. the rate of road fatalities
reached an absolute peak, and until
two years ago. dropped dramatically
each year While we can be pleased
by the progress of the past 20 years.
that progress may be reversing. The
trend is stary. and if Congress has its
way. the deaths are bound to keep
irtcreasmg
Some of the causes of the rising
number of traffic deaths are unavoid-
able. Considering how more miles are
logged per person each year in the
United States, it only follows that the
number of deaths should also rise.
Other causes, though, are able to be
controlled. One of them is the speed
at which motorists are allowed to
drive.
The National Highway System bill
is now standing before Congressional
negotiators, and will likely eliminate
federally imposed speed limits of 55
miles per hour (65 on rural interstate
highways). Instead, the issue would
be left up to the states to decide
Most will chiHjse to raise the estab-
lished speed limits up
to 65 miles per hour.
According to Joan
Claybrook. the presi-
dent of the consumer
advocacy group Public
Citizen, these actions would increase
the number of traffic deaths by
almost 5000 per year. She also adds
that on rur^l interstate highways,
where the limit has already been
raised the total had already risen by
about 700 deaths per year.
When it comes to traffic safety, the
government is clearly headed in the
wrong direction. The same bill,
which would eliminate the 55 mile
per hour speed limit, could also ease
restrictions on trucks on the highway.
Trucks are responsible for more than
their share of highway fatalities, and
reducing the current legislation could
cause the loss of almost 1000 more
lives per year
With the amount of deaths on the
road already rising, the government
ought to be making new laws to pre-
vent these occurrences, not encourag-
ing motorists to go faster and faster.
Society goes tix) fast anyway.
There are already plenty of dangers
on the roads for motorists to deal
with. Why compound the statistics by
increasing the speed limit? At most, a
few people will get to their destina-
tions a little bit early, but is that end
really wonh the added possibility of
death^
Speeders already ignore the estab-
lished speed limits anyway. The
speed limit, as a result, is all but at
65 right now. To move it up would
only tempt drivers to push 70 miles
per hour That's a little fast for my
tastes.
People fail to realize a car is a
lethal weapon, and thus should be
driven with care. In this day and age
life goes so quickly that a drive to the
supermarket or local gas station tnay
be taken for granted. The fact
remains that the way regulations are,
and will be in the future, could make
one of those simple trips fatal for you
or your family.
Until the government decides to
make some laws designed to help
protect the people, do yourself a
favor — buckle up! Seat belts are one
of the few things we s|i|| have in our
favor.

Stirring up a great meal
Ilove to cook. Almost as much as I love to eat
However, cooking now a days seems to equal
rapidly boiling water and frozen fcKxJ pouches. I
grew up in a very traditional home where meals were a
time everyone got together and enjoyed a great ht)me
cooked meal and talked ^_^^_^^____
My mother is a great ctx)k. She
comes from an Irish Catholic
home and the Irish sure know
how to eat People have these
stereotypes of an Irish seven
course meal being a potato and a
six pack (ha ha ... funny).
However, when I visited Ireland
last summer I had some of the
best home cooked meals ever.
And make no mistake about it.
they were meals; roast turkey.
potattK-s. string beans, com. salad,
ham. gravT,. bread, butter, french
fries, pies and cakes.
I am thankful I don't gain
weight because they ate like that
five times a day. not including lea
times. Yes. I am one of those small waif like creatures
you want to stomp (and probably could) beneath your
boot. I've been asked if I had anorexia or bulimia. And
yes. my Mom is always trying to fatten me up. It
doesn't work
Anyway, knowing how important cooking was, my
Mother decided we should start learning to ccwk at an
early age. How early? Well, by the time I was
12-years-old I was whipping up four course meals
with my brother and sister (yes. i'm bragging). And it
was cooking — real cixjking with fresh ingredients and
often limes made right from scratch. Now-a-days
"scratch" has been replaced by Betty Crocker.
We never had a microwave until recently and even
leftovers (my Mom could stretch a meal for a month if
she wanted due to growing up in the Depression) were
heated up in the oven. To this day I shudder when I
remember 1 seeing my ex-boyfriend viciously stab a
hot dog with a fork, nuke it on high, and then cram it
down his throat smothered in ketchup. 1 still grieve for
that hot dog.
My father loved to cook too. He was half Finnish
half Irish and really enjoyed making Nissue. a type of
braided sweet bread for Christmas. He was also big on
fudge. Our fingers used to be bright red from the pista-
chios he would have us crack open to put in his secret
concoction. A hunter and big fan of venison, he'd love
to make roast venison, venison stew and venison
chops. For a while he would even butcher his own
meat, but my Mom put a stop to that.
My Mom's brother is a priest and a gourmet chef.
Now he is a great cook. If you've ever happened to
peek into an issue of Bon Appetit and gaze upon those
perfect looking ducklings glazed in orange sauce with
To this day I shudder

ing my ex-boyfriend

high, and then cram it

ered in ketchup. I still

tender sweet peas and baby carrots — you'll know
what he's capable of. He even shops at the same food
stores as lulia Child's, and they often talk about the
best cuts of meat.
The one draw back with him is his schedule. He is
^^^^__^__ very European having spent large
amounts of times oversees while in
the Air Force. So he keeps
F.uropean meal times and dinner
usually starts at 8 p.m. — if we're
lucky. When we were smaller it
was a real hassle — kids don't care
if the roast is just so. they want
food dammit! Now we're a little
more tolerant when visiting him
and take advantage of his pre-din-
ner creations to sate our growling
stomachs.
Another draw back is the huge
amounts of cooking utensils he uti-
lizes during a meal. I am talking
about individual instruments to do
separate things like peel carrots,
dice onions and filet chicken
breasts. It takes not one knife, but threes in various
lengths and sizes. Let's not mention the pots and pans
one potato dish takes up. And it is policy that the
guests do the dishes.
So you could say I learned to ccKik from the best and
I learned to love cooking from the best as well. There
is nothing like finishing a meal, serving it and having
people look at you with new respect when you say, "I
made it myself." It gives you enormous satisfaction to
see how much people enjoy what you can do.
At school it is a lot harder to make a good meal.
Classes, papers and money are key factors. Cooking in
the dorm was hellish, and the D.C. made me ill. I lived
in Sylvan my freshman year and everyday for two
weeks I went to that Pasta place because I was too stu-
pid to look downstairs to find the regular place. I'd call
my Mom crying that all I had to eat here was watery
pasta and crappy tomato sauce. Thank God I ventured
downstairs one day to find a rest room.
You see. I can never be content with, just say, a
roast beef sandwich cither. I'd have to toast the bread
in garlic butler and parsley, warm the meat and top it
with mozzarella. sauteed onions and mushrooms with
a dab of french mustard. Sure, this is time consuming
and I could have eaten three regular sandwiches in that
time it took to make one. but that is the price you pay.
If I ever have any children of my own (key word if)
then I'd want them to learn how to cook. I'd also want
them to love fixxl and see what different cultures can
bring to the palate. Maybe now and then I'll splurge
like my Mom did and serve fishsticks with french fries,
but for now I'll take the braised lamb chops with mint
sauce and spicy german potato salad any day.

Welcome to the jungle
If you thought only animals created messes, just
take a look inside a residence hall on a Friday.
Saturday or Sunday afternoon, evening or night.
You would be surprised and in awe because you would
think the place was hit by wild animals, but the dam-
age was done by residents throughout the whole build-
ing.
First of all, let's start with the bathrooms, because we
all use them at some point during the weekend. When
you open the bathroom door be prepared for a big sur-
prise and cover your nose and
mouth if you want to survive the
odor given off. There is vomit on the
floor, in the sink or in one of the
shower stalls, and that is not all
There is dinner in the sink and trash
everywhere except in 'he red barrels
which happen to be tipped over.
There is also urine on the fioor and
the toilet seats. What is going on
here?
The mess in the bathrooms seem
to appear after the janitors leave the
building on Friday afternoon having
left the bathrooms spotless and
filled with toiletries. However, when
thev ^|um on Monday morning the
ba'tnrooms are a mess as if a hurri-
cane or tornado hit the place. F.ither
the residents have no morals or val-
ues and do the same things at home,
or they have some mental or physical problems which
cause them to trash the bathrooms.
Regardless of which is which, the behavior needs to
stop because it is not fair to the residents who don't live
like animals. They are the ones complaining they have
trouble going into the bathrooms because there is garbage
all over the place. Fnough is enough.
I doubt the same residents who trash the bathrooms do
the same at home, but why in the residence halls? The
residents either feel they can get away with the behavior,
or they simply don't care because it is not their real home.
Either way. the behavior is unacceptable for college stu-
dents.
The weekend janitors are not required to clean up
the bathroom on the weekend. They only have to empty
the trash and provide toiletry. So if residents trash the
bathrooms on the weekend the mess will still be there
until Monday morning. Think about it. Three days of
mess.
Also on the weekends, residents tend to be very noisy
by either playing their music very loud, yelling or scream-
ing on the floors. Unfortunately, this is very normal on the
weekend. Quiet hours are in effect from midnight to ntwn
and residents are still loud beyond that time. Yes. there is
such a thing as 24 hour courtesy hours, but residents
don't keep that in mind. Quiet hours are enforced, but
Some of the residents
need to take action
because it is their resi-
dence halls too, and
they need to help the
staff get things under
control. Otherwise,
things will remain the
way they are — out of
control.

residents will continue the behavior even after being
warned or documented for it. Things are just out of con-
trol.
Wait, there is more. On the weekends residents
bring in cases of alcohol whether 21 or not depending
upon the time of day. During the morning and after-
ntK)n there is no security so they walk right by with
cases of alcohol freely. However, at night when securi-
ty is on. people try to sneak some in by putting them
in big bags. I know there are no books in those bags.
^^^^_^^^__ but you can't search the bag, so
they go right by. If stopped and
asked for identification, and they
are of age. they bring it upstairs to
a room where there are minors any-
way.
Why am I telling you this? I am
telling you this because these are the
same individuals confronted for mis-
behavior or the ones seen passed out
somewhere. The weekend in the resi-
dent halls is like a zoo.
Where are the resident assistants?
They are dealing with the behavior
of residents, but there are only a few
of them and they can only do so
much. What ab<.)ut the assistant resi-
dent directors and the resident direc-
tors? Well, they are helping the RAs
deal with behavior.
Some of the residents need to take
action because it is their residence halls too, and they
need to help the staff get things under control.
Otherwise, things will remain the way they are — out of
control.
During the weekend in the residence halls, there is
trash all over the place with broken bottles in the trash
rooms and in the stairwells along with discharged fire
extinguishers on the floors. What the hell is going on?
Harsher sanctions need to be implemented because
residents don't seem to be phased by the ones in place.
Some residents need to live outside until they behave.
Something needs to be done before the dorms become
trash dumps. It is bad enough some residents want to
move back home because of the chaos going on. Parents
are not ttx) pleased either.
On the weekend, the residence halls are a mess.
Some of the residents have no morals or values and
need to stay outside with that kind of attitude. I feel for
the janitors because they work hard during the week
and don't deserve to come back to a trashed dormitory.
We need to hold residents more responsible for their
behavior because right now they don't claim to be
responsible.
To those of you who trash the bathrooms
and find something better to do.

It 5 all in the stars
After last Saturday's storm
rolled out of town, taking
with il all sorts of pollution
and smog, the sky opened wide and
revealed an endless beach of stars.
So I and some of my friends, in
true idiotic style, hauled our
instinctively inquis-
itive keisters out-
doors and traipsed
through ankle high
grass to gain a bet-
ter view of God's
glory.
As soon as we got
out there our eyes
began to tell us we
were in the right
place at the right
time. Our feet, as
cold and wet as they were, were
telling us a completely different story.
However, it wasn't long after we got
outside that our hearts and minds
placed their votes and overwhelming-
ly tilted the scales towards remaining
outdoors under a sky dusted with bil-
lions of pinholes of light.
What was it that made each one of
us want to further torture ourselves
by standing in an open field, soaking
our feet in mud while we stared up at
the sky till our necks hurt? The
answer isn't in what we were hoping
to see. but rather in what we had jusi
seen. The most beautiful thing any of
us had ever witnessed.
Only minutes after we first ven-
tured outside and turned our eyes
towards the heavens, it happened.
Almost in story- book fashion, a
shooting star raced across the night
sky. Though no one said anything at
the time, it was as if the collective
forces of all our silent hopes had
pulled from the sky the amazing sight
that appeared before
our very eyes. I say this
because this was not
your average shooting
star, this was a gigantic
spectacle of astronomi-
cal proportions that few
will ever be fortunate
enough to have grace
their field of view.
Standing there, in
the company of some
very good friends. I.
after witnessing that event, could
not help but feel unbelievably
small and yet still so very impor-
tant all in the same breath. We had
all just seen something of such
grandeur that we. as mere mortals,
could not possibly begin lo fully
comprehend the forces at work
behind what had just blazed across
the sky. I don't think any of us
really wanted to understand it, all
that really mattered was it hap-
pened, or for that matter, we were
all there when it did happen.
We stot)d out in that field, gazing
up at the stars, for almost two hours.
Time seemed lo just fade into the
darkness, just as the shooting star
did. One moment it was there, and
then in the blink of an eye. it was
gone.
We all just stood there, each
throwing in our two cents of astro-
nomical knowledge. Individually we
were each pretty much lost in the
night, but collectively we made a
pretty good bunch of stargazers.
After those two hours had
passed, and our feet had frozen
solid, we decided we had seen
enough for on night. So we turned
to go back inside, but as we turned
I reached into my pocket, pulled
out a quarter, and tossed it on the
ground. I wasn't really sure at the
time why I had done that. But upon
further reflection I think I under-
stand now. It seemed almost too
unfair what we had all witnessed
was completely free of charge. So
almost as it were in a form of grati-
tude, I tossed back to God's good
earth something man had originally
taken from it.
The sky that night brought forth
what we all almost considered to be a
miracle. And in return we gave the
sky our potential miracles, in hopes
one day another star might make
them reality and carry them back to
us.
We all saw that star, we all wished
upon it. and we all quietly believed
dreams really can come true. Now we
just need liminy Cricket to back up
his .statement.

yeP! debuts with eclectic album
The Dead release live album from 1972; Buffalo Tom lags
YEPt
yePionymooi
y«PI
The band called yeP! self describes their music as.
'comprising an unusual collection of rock-oriented, fun-
klectic, bluesgressive, jazzska. cartoongrass, hip n' groove
song.' Probably one of the more accurate self
descriptions around. The band encom-
passes nearly every style of music but they
do not just dabble in these various musi
cal genres, they become them.
A relatively new band residing in
the Amherst area, yeP! have already
received generous amounts of praise,
locally and nationally. YeP!onymoui
is the band's long awaited first studio
recording and their loyal following who
have been wailing patiently for this release
will certainly not be disappointed. Nor will an>
other music loving, free flowing spirit who is looking tor a
new sound to fill their ears.
The musical performances on the album are high quali-
ty and the immense range in styles is incredible consider-
ing the fact the band pulls off each one so well. The album
is filled with saxophones, pedal steel guitars, banjos,
flutes, trombones, tubas, fiddles, pianos and of course the
good old electric guitar and percussion.
The diversity and range of the album does lead to one
obvious problem, not all listeners will enjoy all the vari
ous styles. It would be very easy to love one song on
this album while being disinterested in the others.
"Multha Funk In the Soul," the first track, is completely
under the control of funk driven horns and electrified
grooves.
In these days of major label signings everywhere it is
always impressive to sec a band release an album on their
own, which is just what yeP! has done. According to their
soundman. Mark Alan Miller, this is "one of the most
ambitious albums he has ever worked on." The final result
remains to be a fun, provocative unique journey filled
with rock, funk, ska and everything else. A- (Aaron

BUffALO TOM
Sleepy Eyed
East/West
Since their start in 1988, Buffalo Tom have risen from a
small local band with a cult following to an internationally
recognized act. Wiih five albums under their belt, ihe
hard working trio have managed to outlive many of the
pseudo punk bands that began to emerge in droves in the
late '80s, successfully graduating into the music scene of
the nineties.
Their forth album. Red Letter Day. released in 199 J,
that propelled the band into the mainstream, established
them as major recording artists. The success of this album
earned Buffalo Tom a broader fan base and a subsequent
boost in the band's confidence.
On their latest outing. Sleepy Eyed. Buffalo Tom has
aimed for "a more open, more raw" sound in reaction to
their last record which they felt had softened some of
their rough edges. The lead track "Tangerine," opens the
album in fine fashion with a snappy, rambunctious-
ness that makes it a likely single. Urtfortunaiely it
is preceded by two tame tunes of wistfulness and
remorse that seem to drain energy from the
album's early momentum. "Rules" picks up
here "Tangerine" left off and it is quick to
re-injecl spirit to the proceedings with a
heavy introduction lo a groove driven
track.
Similar patterns emerge throughout the
album's 14 songs, emphasizing structural
weaknesses ii. production and poor song selec-
imn "^'our Stripes." an up tempo, punkish pop
tune reminiscent of the Clash, rumbles along with solid
bass and drums, making for another highlight on the
album The album's energy travels in spurts, making it
susceptible lo lulls brought on by mediocre, plodding bal-
lads like the dull. "Sparklers." or "Sunday Nights" which
proves to be as exciting as the song title.
Buifalo Tom's brand of subdued punk connects with
the average gen-xer. but il lacks enough drive and motiva-
tion: perhaps the most common trait that connects the
two. The bands rcxieems itself for the most part with sim-
ple and engaging tunes, yet the multitude of sluggish
rhythms suggest that they need to wipe the sleep from
their eyes on their next record. »- (Michael McCloskey)

hundred fear Hall
Grateful Dead Recordi
Most Grateful Dead fans agree that the only way lo cap-
ture the band is live, in their purest form. Hundred Year
Hall, the first release from the Grateful Dead since jerry
Garcia's death, features a near complete show from April
26. 1972 during the band's famous Furupe '72 tour. ITiis
time period is generally regarded as thc-ir prime epoch and
this CD highlights some of the band's best work.
Recorded in Frankfurt, Germany the live album
includes sweet classics like "China Cat Sunfiower" (which
includes the usual Garcia lyric flub), "Bertha" and "Goin'
Down the Road." The more "deadicatcd" will find inier
esting material in the "Truckin'/Cryplical" jam, followed
by "Comes A Time," which makes it first appearance on a
live album.
Other treats include a 19 minute version of "Lovelighl,"
featuring the legendary Pigpen, a unique rendition of
'lack Straw" without Gareia on vocals, and a wonderful
cover of "Next Time You See Me" written by William
Harvey and tarl Forest.
yeP! releases debut album yePlonymoui.
Hundred Year Hall also includes an anecdote by Robert
Hunter, lyricist for the Dead, not to mention creative
drawings inside the cover. Although this may be their
finest show, it is always nice lo listen lo a live Dead CD,
especially one filled with so many classic songs, let's hope
there' is a lot more to follow from the Vaults A (leremy

MAUIYN MANSON
Smells Like Children
Inlef scope
With its eerie, golh-like overtones. Smells Like
Children, is the smashing follow-up to Marilyn Manson's
debut release. Portrait Of ,An American lamily. The 16
song FP features remixes from their first album, as well as
a preview of new songs which will be on their upcoming
release AniichnsI Superstar
The album begins with the same creepy, spooky feel-
ing thai they portray so well at their live shows. All of
the songs have a dark and grinding cadence that would
be well suited for a funeral procession. The band have
taken some of their most inspirational and unforgel-
comnvTnn
table lyrics from their first album and combined them
with more sinister music to produce an exceptional
album.
"Sweet Dre-ams" a live favorite is a standout track on
this release Bearing only a slight resemblance to the
Furythmics origmal. the sadistic lyrics combmed with
Manson's diabolic voice give the song the macabre feeling
that is so characteristic of the hand "Some of them want
to abuse you/ Some of them want to get used by you/
Some of ihem want lo abuse you/ Some of them want to
abused." Although Irequemly performed at shows this is
it's first release on recoril. "Many people didn't get into
what the song really tneani -^ our interpretation focuses
on a much darker side." noted Manson. Another live
favorite is the recreated "Rock and Roll Nigger," written
by Paiti Smith.
Breaking the stere-olypc ihat re-mixcd albums are just a
boring rehashing of old material. Smells Like Children is
an exemplary CD Fmbracing horror and rebellion as if
they were the bands own childhcKKl fantasies. Marilyn
Manson has proven once again that they are- an innovative
and exceptional band that will be around for quile some
lime. A (Lisa Uliveri)

The Iron Horse
Oct 29
NORTHAMPTON - The Irxm
Horse was absolutely alive with
footstomping music as John
Scofield bestowed a deluge of hot
jazz and cool blues on a very
appreciative crowd.
From the opening riff until the
final cutoff. Scofield and his quar-
tet gripped the audience in a musi-
cal vice and refused to let them
catch their breaths.
The concert opened with a ne*
Scofield original titled "Big Top*
which erupted into a full blown
improvisational jam which com-
pletely overtook the audience.
After 20 minutes Scofield finally
let their crowd out of his hypnotic
musical grip long enough to intro-
duce his band. Then he barreled
into another tune, "Don't Shoot
the Messenger" which not only
featured Scofield's guitar, but
Dennis Irwin's masterful bass
playing and Larry Golding's
expertise on the electronic organ.
The following songs featured a
cover of "Self Portrait in Three
Colors" originally composed by
the late bass virtuoso Charlie
Mingus and a tune in tribute to
Ed Harris, aplly named "Do Like
Eddie." During the latter song
Scofield broke loose with an
incredible electric guitar solo,
not forgetting Eudrice
Mohammud's exciting percussion
solo.
The concert resumed after a
brief intermission and rumbled
unsloppably through bass and gui-
tar duels, organ and guitar
face-offs and awe-inspiring solos
by all four musicians. It finally
came to a reluctant hall after two
encores. The bands' music was
breathtaking as each song got
more intense than the last.
Scofield is undoubtedly one of
the most important names in jazz
guitar today and with his band he
proved it effortlessly with dazzling
guitar playing and musicianship.
Hong Kong artist expresses culture in paintings

'CHAtmHSOfMYUFE'
Hampden Gallery
Oct. 26 -Nov. 17
Waves of black and red colors
seemed to flow and whirl over seven
huge paintings placed next to each
other at Ihe walls of Hampden
Gallery.
They belong to the exhibition.
"Chapters of My Life." which was
opened last Thursday. The exhibition
features works by artist Yim Wong.
Wong was born in Hong Kong
and works now as a full- time
painter in Boston. She graduated
from the University of
Massachusetts at Boston in 1986
with a BA Degree in Painting and
with a Masters of Fine Arts from the
South Eastern Massachusetts
University in 1991.
After returning to Hong Kong for
two years, she came back to Boston
in 1991, where she owns a studio at
the Center for the Arts.
Wong's work is very powerful,
emotional and the abstract paintings
show Interesting experiments.
"I paini things which move me."
said Wong at Ihe Gallery Talk thai
was part of the opening reception on
Thursday. "I drip. I pour, acrylic and
water on Canvas. I give form lo the
pleasure and freedom I feel in the
act."
Wong chose 25 paintings of differ-
ent styles and periods from her work
to present them at Hampden Gallery.
"The exhibition contains four
chapters of my life and work."
explained Wong. "Painting became a
language lo communicate for me — I
painted the pain I had for the lune
4th massacre in China. I painted my
gloomy image of Hong Kong. I paint-
ed my personal feelings and experi-
ences, my paintings present chapters
of my life."
Nine paintings from her series of
pictures about the lune 4lh massacre
form the first chapter of the exhibi-
tion. It includes iwo early paintings
called "brother" and "sisier " The two
pictures show ihc heads of a man and
woman, poured all over wilh inten
sive red color.
"I saw pictures on TV from the
massacre, pictures of people running
on the streets and their heads were
poured all over wilh blcKxl, even in
their hair their was blood. I had to
express this in a painting." said the
artist.
The series of seven pictures
described above shows the massacre-
and Wong's feelings about il in an
abstract and symbolic way. Wong
sirew little plum blossoms within the
swiris of red and black colors. These
plum blossoms in Chinese re-present
the dead.
The use of symbols from Chinese
art can be found in other paintings by
Wong as well.
"I use techniques from Chinese
painting, bul the medium is not
Chinese at all," she said, describing
her work.
In the pictures of her 'second
chapter." which deals wilh Hong
Kong and its reMum lo China in 1996.
Wong painted Bauhinia fiowers on a
dark background. The Bauhinia is in
Chinese painting as a symbol for
Hong Kong
Chapters three and four show
Wong's iLX'hnical cxperimcnis. While
working on the painlings.
"Watermarks l/ll" in 1994. Wong
experimented wilh water.
■| let the water How over Ihe can-
vas and the pictures created them-
selves," she explained. "The name
developed from the way I created the
picture."
Another scries of pictures called
"Winter." "Spring" and "Autumn"
arc based on Wong's view of a tree in
from of her window. She made them
in May 1995. using sand with the
paints lo "carry out ihat earthly
smell" of nature.
Yim Wong' versatile paintings are
shown till Noi'emher 1 7 at Hampden
Gallery. The Gallery opens Mon. -

I think one of the secrets of a
contented life is obvious....
plan out your time, your month
or, your week so that you are
occupied by things you find deliglitful....
even if it's quiet and you're alone.
For instance on:
l^ondays- have a nice dinner with
friends
Tuesdays- watch your favorite t.v.
slww with a tasty snack
Wednesdays- do a home improvement
job or clean something which you've
always cherished.
Thursdays- sit in the dark alone for
hours
Fridays- go to a local lovely natural
setting. ..like a lake or mountain
Saturdays- do something athletic
which pushes you to a new limit
Sundays- sit alone again in the dark
until you cry.

Behl, Maceiko lead UMass to victory m LaFreniere. named coach of the year
fty Jaion Rubin
CoUagian Correspondent
The Atlantic Ten is as competitive,
and tough as any conference in the
nation. For the first time since enter-
ing the A-10. the Massachusetts
men's cross country team has secured
the top spot in the conference.
In what might have been one of
the team's best performances ever,
UMass out-ran the other schools, and
won the Atlantic Ten Championships
by 18 points. On a grueling course,
the runners had a true test of their
worth. The Minutemen dominated the
meet, having three runners finish
within the top ten overall. On this
day. UMass clearly was the team to
Championship. Both have clearly
earned the honor of being named
All-Conference performers, two years
straight. It is scary to think that both
of them have one more year here, to
fine tune their talents.
Behl and Maceiko were not the
only Minutemen to receive recogni-
tion. In his 28th year of coaching here
at UMass. Coach Ken O'Brien has
had many impressive accomplish-
ments. He has won 15 Yankee
Conference titles, three New England
titles, and two IC4A titles. He has
now finally received the honor of
being named Atlantic Ten coach of
the yeai .
To Coach O'Brien, being named
Coach of the vear was "a terrific

beat
luniors Mike Maceiko. and Matt
Behl continued their tremendous run-
ning, once again finishing first and
second for UMass. Maceiko finished
third overall, with a time of 25:5062
Behl finished just behind him with a
time of 25:55:02, good enough for
fourth overall. No other
Massachusetts runner has crossed the
finish line before them all season.
These two have been the work-
horses on this overacheiving team
yearlong. In a season marked by
inconsistency, Behl. and Maceiko
have turned in tremendous perfor-
mances week in and week out. The
two have basically lifted the squad on
their shoulders and carried it to the
honor." he said, but very much of an
afterthought. He guided a young team
that had a number two preseason
ranking, to an Atlantic Ten champi-
onship.
When he did have time to think
about it. it was a nice ending to a
great day. "It is a very satisfying thing
to have your peers recognize your
accomplishments." O'Brien said.
O'Brien accomplished this feat with
just two consistent performers, utiliz-
ing the talents of many different run-
ners. He challenged his team through-
out the season against top teams in
the nation. This aggressive strategy
pushed the runners to their limits,
and exposed iheni to the pressures of
performing in top meets. The team
knows how to run against the "big
boys." As a result, the .Minutemen
were ready to take the title at the
Championships.
Up next for the Massachusetts
team, is the IC4A Championships on
Nov. 1 1 . This is the NCAA qualifying
meet, and determines which runners
will go on to the NCAA
Championships. Winning the Atlantic
Ten Championships was a huge step
for the Minutemen, not only as a big
boost for the team, but also for a few
individuals that needed votes of confi-
dence.
junior |on Way, has had a roller
coaster of a season. Last year he was
a top five runner, until he suffered a
mid season ankle injury. It knocked
him off track, and was very frustrat-
ing to deal with. He came back
towards the end of last year, but
never regained his form. Coach
O'Brien characterized him as being,
"a victim of circumstance." In what
has been a season of ups and downs
for Way. it was a nice way to finish.
Another runner who had a signifi-
cant performance on Saturday, was
sophomore Paul Blodom He was also
one of the top performers from last
year. At the end of the indoor season
he came down with a case of pneumo-
nia. He then suffered through a rough
spring. Up to this point in the season,
he has not shown the potential that
he did last year.
Both of their ptrfonnances at the
A lOs could be signs that they are
regaining their form "It was nice to
see two guys who were so important
to us last year, come back and con-
tribute to the team." Coach O'Brien
said.
This UMass team is one of many
weapons. "Wc haye tremendous
depth," O'Brien said. "You never
know who's going to pick up the
slack. It's a great luxury." he added.
On the Massachusetts team there
are nine capable runners.
Complementing Maceiko. and Behl,
their sophomores Ryan Carrara and
Ethan Nadeau. These two. along with
senior Mark Buff one have consistent-
ly turned in winning performances at
earlier meets. These five are the
team's top performers. There is also
the possibility of a runner such as
Way or Blodorn stepping up and
turning in a clutch performance.
Looking back at the end of last
year's season Coach O'Brien talks of
"seeds being planted." He explained
tha! the team had spoken about the
improvement on last years second
place finish.
"This team knows how much hard
work everyone has put in." O'Brien
said. "It was nice seeing the team
work hard together, and then pull
together like they did." A look at the
results from the Championships
shows just how hard they have
worked.

When the Massachusetts women's
cross country team boarded the plane
to Pittsburgh this weekend, the
women had only one thought on their
minds: capturing the Atlantic Ten
crown.
Having faced perennial A~10 rival
St Joseph's at the Paul Short
Invitational in early October, the
Minuiewomen knew what they were
up against as they toed the line last
Saturday. The Hawks had soundly
defeated the UMass squad at the Paul
Short, but that only gave the
Minutewomen incentive.
Scoring an impressive 46 points,
the Massachusetts runners took home
the Atlantic 10 trophy and bragging
rights for the conference. Much antic-
ipated rival St. joe's finished second
with 49 points.
As the team walked the course
with coach |ulie LaFreniere before the
meet they talked about the impor-
tance of the race.
"I told them that this was a
tough course, but a gcxxl one, a real
cross country course. I told them to
really concentrate on holding their
position, and not to panic when
they heard their times." LaFreniere
said.
"I knew the times at the mile were
going to be fast, because first stretch
is slightly downhill." she said. "When
runners hear a fast time for the first
mile they tend to back off and con-
serve energy, but I didn't want my
women to do that. I wanted them to
go hard all the way."
And go hard they did, as
Massachusetts placed three harriers in
the top 10. As has been the case for
the entire cross country season.
UMass was led by sophomore
Rebecca Donaghue. Donaghue
clocked a 17:58, the second best time
of her career for 5000m, en route to a
second place finish overall. Her time
was 9 seconds off the pace of the
eventual winner. Sue Yaagielski of St.
Joseph's.
len Waeger. who has been an emo-
tional leader for the Minutewomen all
season long, ran a 18:15 to finish
fourth overall, second for UMass.
Waeger, who has been on antibiotics
for the past three weeks due to an ill-
ness, raced this weekend at near 100
percent for the first time in weeks.
Showing true dedication to her team.
Waeger displayed one of the gutsiest
performances of her career, battling
fatigue and pain throughout.
"Rebecca was Rebecca. She was
great. I knew that she would be one
of the front runners, and she really
came through. She has been such a
dominant force all season, it's incredi-
ble," LaFreniere said.
"Personally, I think len has been
such a key influence on this team.
Polo earns third seed in Easterns
By Fr«d HuHbrink, Jr.
Collegion Stoff
The Massachusetts men's water polo team cer-
tainly didn't throw in the towel, but UMass coach
Russ Yarworth threw in a chair.
In a tightly officiated final match of the
Eastern Water Polo Association North
Division playoffs that saw Yarworth thrown
off the deck after reacting to an offensive
penalty called on freshman Brian Stahl, the
Minutemen suffered a frustrating loss to
Queens College, 10-8. and will head to the
Eastern Championships in Maryland as the
third seed.
"I'm going to let the statistics do the talk-
ing," Yarworth said. The ejection total was 1 1
to four in favor of Queens, and there were 1 0
offensive fouls whistled against the
Minutemen. "For some reason the officials
were seeing the game that way," added a frus-
trated Yarworth.
Massachusetts had easily beaten Queens in
their two previous meetings, but were hand-
cuffed by the officiating and couldn't get over
the hump falling two goals short.
Senior Luis Limardo and junior Ron Gonen
led UMass with two goals each while the
Queens defense held Stahl scoreless on four
shots. Co-captain Fohn Luviano, playing with
acute tendinitis in his shoulder, scored a goal
and handed out two assists in a valiant losing
effort.
The win in the EWPA North Division play
offs gives Queens the top seed in the Eastern
Championships while UMass goes to Maryland
as the number three team to face sixth-seeded
Richmond
The Minutemen have faced Richmond three
times during the season, winning all three
meetings.
"jRichmond) has, basically, three or four
really strong players. We can't allow them to
dominate the game," Yarworth said. "That
(first round match] scares the hell out of me,
they're going to be sky-high; we're going to be
in trouble if we're not prepared."
Navy, who won the South Division playoffs, will
be the second seed in the Eastern Championships
and will face St. Francis in the first round.
Assuming they both win their first round games,
the Minutemen and the Midshipmen are lined up
nAYMh IN SMITH/OOUB II
The Massachusetts water pnid ti-.im enters the semifinals
the EWPA Ch.impiimships with a number three seed.
for a semi- final showdown.
"The bottom line is: you have to win three
games. You're going to have to play the best team
eventually." said Yarworth.
Queens, being the first seed, will play Bucknell
in the first round, and Brown will face a surprising
Princeton squad who came out of nowhere to
finish second to national power Navy in the
South Division. The winners of each of these
games will face off in the semi-finals.
Before their disappointing loss to Queens.
Massachusetts won its first two matches of the
playoffs, throttling lona 22- 6. and holding on
to defeat Brown. 15 11.
lona hardly put up a fight against the pow-
erful UMass offense as ten Minutemen scored
in the match. Limardo had a phenomenal
game scoring six goals and assisting on anoth-
er.
Youngsters Scott Stevens and Pedro Perez
contributed to the routing, scoring four and
three goals respectively while goalies Alex
Mujica and Paul Engin combined for seven
saves.
The Minutemen were sluggish after their
thrashing of lona, but held on for a two goal
defeat of Brown.
UMass, reverting to early-season form,
came out slow, scoring just two first quar-
ter goals, but were able to go into the half
tied. 5-5. The Minutemen look control of
the match in the third quarter, out-scoring
the Bears 7-5 in the period.
Leading 1 5-9 early in the fourth quarter,
Massachusetts sat on the lead and held on for
the two-point decision.
Limardo. playing tremendously thus far
in the playoffs, scored two goals and record-
ed two assists while four other Minutemen
scored twice.
It's all or nothing for the UMass men's
water polo team as the winner of this tourna-
ment goes to Palo Alto, CA to compete in the
NCAA tournament to vie for the national title.
"The whole season comes down to this
tournament," Yarworth said.
Her teammates know what she is
going through healthwise, and to see
her give her all everyday like she
does really influences everyone else,"
she said. "The thing I tell people
about len is that even though she
isn't 100 percent, she still gives 1 10
percent."
Making an impressive crack into
the top ten, Katie Greenia was the
third UMass scorer to finish, taking
lOth overall Posting a time of 18:45,
Greenia made remarkable strides to
overcome a nagging
back/hamstring/knee problem that
has affected her for weeks,
Kristin Donaldson, who ran the
majority of the race with front run-
ners Donaghue and Waeger, took
the entire way, and she took that
step." she said.
"Christy, in a way. keyed the win.
If she hadn't finLshed where she did.
there is no way we would have won,"
LaFreniere said. "That just goes to
show you what a team sport cross
country really is. Everyone sees it as
an individual sport, but it comes
down to a team effort, that's where
you win or lose. In fact, if everyone
thought of it as an individual sport,
we wouldn't have come home with
that trophy.
'Cross country is one of the most
grueling sports I can think of. In
every other sport there are breaks in
the action, not so in cross country.
You can't ask for a substitution, you

14th place with a 18:52. Meanwhile
Christy Martin, perhaps the keystone
of UMass' victory, finished 16th in
18:56.
"Katie Greenia has had a season of
frustrations with her injuries. She
really hasn't raced at 100 percent for
quite some lime, but she certainly
showed that she's back and getting
better," LaFreniere said.
"Kristin ran the gutsiest race I
have ever seen her run. She ran with
Rebecca and len for a large portion
of the race, and that is an empower-
ing feeling. Before this race I kept
telling Kristin that she just had lo
take that final step lo have a really
tremendous race. Well, she ran hard
can'i call a time-out, there are no
breaks, and those are things you
don't realize unless you are involved
with the sport," LaFreniere said.
"That endurance makes the sport so
tough, and makes the victory so
sweet."
In addition to winning the confer-
ence crown. LaFreniere took home
.some hardware as well, as she was
named Atlantic 10 Coach of the
Year.
"It was really special to be named
Coach of the Year, but I owe it all to
my women I want to thank them for
that honor, because it really was
them who gave it to me." LaFreniere
said.
Ex-Cub Sandberg
returns to major
league for '96 season
NEW YORK - At the lime
of his retirement, Sandberg, the
1984 NL MVP and holder of sev-
eral major league fielding records,
said he wanted to spend more
time with his family, and said he
had no intention of ever return-
ing.
But just like another famous
Chicago athlete who wore uni-
form No. 25 and unretired this
year — Michael lordan —
Sandberg has decided he'd been
away loo long from a sport he
always loved. Sandberg spent
much of his time in retirement liv-
ing at his home in Arizona, near
the Cubs' spring training site in
Mesa. Although he was not play-
ing ball, his contract with the
Cubs called for some off-field
work for the team.
Sandberg recently remarried,
and friends have described him as
happier than he's been in a long
time and said he's ready to return
to the game he'd played profes-
sionally since he was 1 8.
When Sandberg lefi the Cubs,
he was upset with the way the
team was being run by general
manager Larry Himes. Himes has
been reassigned, and the Cubs
have completely changed Iheir
front-office structure.
Ed Lynch, who briefly played
with Sandberg and is one of his
friends, is the general manager
and Andy MacPhail. who built
World Series champions in
Minnesota, is the president.
Sandberg is a career .289 hit-
ter with 245 home runs and 905
RBIs. In 1984. when he batted
.514 with 19 triples and 19
homers and 84 RBIs, and led the
Cubs to Ihe NL East title, their
first postseason appearance since
1945.
In 1985, Sandberg, showing
off another off his assets, stole 54
bases.
Sandberg led the league with
40 homers in 1990 and had 100
RBIs. He also drove in 100 runs
in 1991.
He won the Gold Clove from
1985 91. and holds major league
records at second baseman for
highest lifetime fielding percent-
age (.990) and consecutive games
without an error (125).
Sandberg has never played in
the World Series. The Cubs lost
the NL playoffs in 1984 lo San
Diego, failing lo a hold a 2-0 lead
in Ihe best— of- 5 scries, and fell
41 lo San Francisco in 1989.
Sandberg hit .585 in those two
playoff series.
Sandberg was picked by
Philadelphia in the 20lh round of
the June 1978 draft and signed
with the Phillies.

Mass. students rally together at Gov^t Center
■ A thousand
gather to protest
financial cuts
By AHison Connolly
Collegian Staff
BOSTON — All five campuses of
the University of Massachusetts
joined 50 private and public colleges
from across the state on the steps of
Government Center yesterday to
protest threatened federal cuts to
financial aid programs.
The number of students in atten-
dance was estimated at over a thou-
sand, waving their banners and signs
beneath the faces peering from the
windows of Boston City Hall.
The rally was a student initiated
event under the name of the
Coalition of Students to Save Student
Aid, Major efforts were made by the
Massachusetts Student Public
Interest Research Group
(MASSPIRG) and the Student Center
for Educational Research and
.Advocacy (SCERA). who have
worked nornsiop for the past month
putting the details together. Both
groups were impressed with the
rally's success.
"It was incredible." said Timna
Tarr. coordinator of the statewide
Higher Education campaign for
Amherst s MASSPIRG "It showed
student empowerment. Students can
organize and get involved."
jason Vecchio of SCERA said the
turnout was more than anticipated
and the numbers alone should send a
message to Congress.
"This says that students, deep
down, are not apathetic They have a
voice and can use it when provoked,"
Vecchio said. "They can vote accord-
ing to their best interests and can
influence their legislators."
On Thursday, the House of
Representatives passed legislation that
would cut $10.2 billion from financial
aid programs. Vecchio pointed out
that House Republicans Peter Blute
and Peter Torkelson. who had origi-
nally pledged their support to student
aid, voted for the House version.
The Senate version of that bill was
less harsh, but still cut $6 billion.
However, they did strike down the
institutional tax on student borrow-
ing, the elimination of the interest
free grace period, and the interest
increase on PLUS loans.
MASSPIRG's Leif Utne attributes the
reduced cuts to pressure from stu-
dent constituency.
"The Senate voted on Friday to cut
the $10 billion figure in half, after
Hundreds of students frimi all around
fur .1 rails to help trv and save financial
UMass students
intense pressure from students across
the country." Utne said. 'However,
the Senate caved in on cuts to the
direct loan program. They set aside
80 percent of loans for middlemen,
which is a travesty. "
The federal government supplies
75 percent of financial aid to approx-
imately six million students across
the country. Student groups are ask-
ing that Clinton veto any reconcilia-
tion bill that does not allow institu-
tional and student choice in the stu-
dent loan program.
The bill has gone to a conference
committee, where members from
both the House and Senate will work
on it until a final version is agreed
upon and sent to the President's desk
for approval. Clinton has said that he
would veto the bill if the cuts were
not reduced.
SGA President Christine Lopes
and Student Trustee Dan Rivera
returned from Washington D.C. this
past weekend after a lobbying effort
to make the case for students. They
had the opportunity to meet members
of Congress, including Senator )ohn
Kerry (D-Mass), who has worked

Massachusetts gather yesterday in Bostim
aid. Among many of the protesiors were
hard for the students' cause. Lopes
said the trip was both positive and
useful. She was proud to see students
also taking action at home.
"I am very excited Ick) see students
from across the slate come together
over one issue," Lopes said.
"Legislators will see that students
will vole in the 19% elections."
Rivera felt strongly that this rally
was one of a growing trend of stu-
dent activity.
"The student revolutionary move-
ments are going to come back,"
Rivera said. "This showed that we
streamlined the priKess and we were
strategic in out targets, as are the
AARPandNOW"
Tables were set up at the rally to
register new voters. There was also a
booth where student could send post
cards to their parents lo ask them to
call Congress on their behalf. A scroll
was signed and addressed lo Senate
Majority Leader Bob Dole, asking
him to stop the cuts.
Tarr said one of her group's pur-
poses is to educate students by regis-
tering them to vole. "Legislators
won't listen to you unless you vote."

Students march
to save their aid
By Aliion Connoly ■
CoNegion Staff
BOSTON - The "Raid to Save Student Aid"
stormed the steps of Government Center and
blocked traffic for a half- hour on State Street
yesterday, as students from colleges across the
state let their voices be heard all the way to
Washington.
Students from Harvard-Radcliffe to Ffamingham
State to Ouinsigimond College attended the rally.
Student speakers from various student government
groups urged ihe crowds to provide the spark for
other campuses. However, it was the University of
Massachusetts students who spearheaded the
efforts.
"Let us rise to the occasion." University of
Massachusetts^' Amherst sttident Dan Rivera told the
crowd. "We need to be the leaders.'
State Senator David Magnani (D-Framingham),
introduced as one of the "staunchest advcK'ates of
student rights and aid," described the rally as the
'beginning of a new revolution."
'Today is the beginning of a life-iong lesson in
politics," Magnani Mid. "It will take place ai the
polls in '96.'
UMass-Amherst Profe»,sor Richard Rogers spoke
of his personal successes with a public education,
stressing that his degree would not have been pocti-
ble without federal financial aid.
*The undergraduates are being hit hard during a
time of a robust economy," Rogers said. "They are
not being fully represented at the table. You can't be
a full lime siiident and a full time employee. Nobody
»houkJ ask you to do so."
Students also participated in guerilla theater. Scott
O'Neil. of UMass-Boston, dressed up as the Grim
Rnper.
"I dmacd up to protest the ^ti because this could
be the death of education," O'Neil said.
"Stop the raid on financial aid" couki be heard on
^ lop floor of the Bank of Boston, where employees
looked down at the swarms of students marching to
Republican Committee Headquarters.
The processiim was orderly, lacking any markings
of a mob protest. Peacekeepers monitored the
crowds as they walked, making sure all of Ihe
demonstrators stayed on the sidewalks and alk>wed
tralTic lo flow properly.
The crowds amasfsed outside 1 14 State Street and
conducted a sit-in when police arrived on the
scene.
'My father is unemployed and I don't want to end
up working at McDonald's." said Chris Larsen of
Bradford College. Larsen said she would continue to
sit in the street even if it meant she could be arrest-
ed.
However, protesters did move peacefully and
ended back at the Government Center steps. The
rally was estimated to have grown from 50i0 at its
start, to over a thousand at its end. Organizers say
the event far exceeded initial expectations.

"I lost my father to cancer over two years ago. If
not for the support 1 found from others who shared
similar experiences I do not believe I could have
gotten through the worst of those times." lelhro
Heiko said.
Heiko has since then put most of his time and
effort into seeing that others who deal with the
death of a loved one don't have lo go through
those limes alone. Taking from his own experi-
ences and those of others, Heiko began the Five
College bereavement and support program Reflect.
Each semester Reflect offers support groups,
where students can share their experiences and
receive support from other students going through
similar situations. There are two kinds of groups,
which meet every week. They set up lo accommo
dale the specific needs of the students. The first are
drop in groups, which are free of charge and held
on the first floor of Tobin Hall, and offer services
to students who can attend as many or as few
meetings as ihey need.
The second is a six-week support group that is
limited in space and requires that all participants
make every scheduled meeting. Both groups cover
aspects of grieving and coping with death. From deal-
ing with grief at school to identifying and exptvssing
emotions, the weekly sessions tacjile issues that don't
normally gel discu-ssed until times of tragedy.
"People want to talk abt>ul these issues (suicide,
race, AIDS), but there's always something that
keeps them from doing it," says Heiko. "Ill'sl not
realistic to walk around and think everyone's fine
and dandy. Everyone's got issues."
Even though the program has been successful in
being a source of support since the Fall of '94. Heiko
is looking to expand the boundaries of the program
into doing even more outreach work on campus and
in the Five College Community in general.
"We want lo be where they're at, "explains
Heiko. "In the dorms, on campus, where ever
there's a need."
Student death on campus is a major concern of
Reflect, which is why the program is geared
towards the needs of students in the Five College
area. In situations like untimely deaths Heiko
wants students to know where help is available.
"My goal is to make sure students know we're
jReflect) there," says Heiko. "It'd be nice if no one
needed us, but people do. Especially when it comes
lo dealing with student deaths."
Heiko also wants Ihe student community to be
aware of those who may be dealing with grief and to
be sensitive to those students and how they're feeling.
"Grieving lakes a while," explains Heiko. "A
month after the death of a loved one, isn't a long
lime to someone who is grieving."
Reflect wants to educate the community about
loss and grievance just as much as it wants to lend
support lo those who experience it.
// you need support in dealing with the death or
serious illness of a loved one. or know someone
who does, you can contact feihro Heiko at

Programming
UVC 19 broadcasts from 2 p.m. until 9 p.m.
every weekday, focusing on lectures, cultural
events and several specialty shows. During off
hours, UVC broadcasts a bulletin board which
includes campus information.
Also, the weekly Student Government
Association (SGA) Senate meeting is broadcast
Thursdays at 5 p.m.
Sundays are the big night for UVC-TV. There is
a one- hour news program. "UMass Update,"
including news segments filmed on the scene.
It lakes more than 20 people to put together one
"Update." according to UVC TV 19 President
Yusef Laleef. They use four anchors, at least two
camera persons, three directors, an audio engineer,
a producer and several reporters.
"Through that process, students learn a lot about
video production and how lo put packages togeth-
er," Laleef said.
"UMass Update" is followed by "Sporlstalk." a
sptirts interview show which allows students to call
and talk live with University athletes or coaches.
"lusi Kickin It." a rap show, is on Tuesdays at 7
p.m. and Thursdays at 8 p.m.
During the open house, Dave "Am" Alee, who
prtxluces "|usl Kickin It," was finishing the editing
lor last night's show. Alee said he tapes his host
segments separately and splices them between the
video segments, as opposed to filming the entire
show at once. This leaves less room for error, he
explained.
The one-hour show, which features videos from
groups such as Wu Tang Clan. Notorious Big,
Shabba Rank, Roots and Das EFX, takes about

Merger to boost top banks' status
By MoHhew Wurlzel
Collegian Staff
The bank mergers which have
been occurring across the nation this
year will finally hit close to home
when Shawmut hands over the man-
agement of various branches in
Western Massachusetts to
Banknorth.
In February Shawmut National
Corporation and Fleet Financial
Group announced plans to merge the
two banks which propelled the two
into the nation's top 10 banks.
Before the merger could take
effect, the Attorney Generals of
Massachusetts and Connecticut
demanded that the pair sell branches
and assets to prevent a monopoliza-
tion in the banking market.
Fleet and Shawmut sold 64
branches which includes the sale of
$2.9 billion in deposits and $1.7 bil-
lion in loans. Student loans are not
effected by the merger, said leanette
Harrison, Fleet spokesperson.
Branches in the Pioneer Valley
which have been sold to Banknorth
Group, Inc. of Vermont include the
Amherst Triangle Street branch, the
Greenfield and Hadley branches, and
the Northampton Hampshire Plaza
branch.
Banknorth will rename the branch-
es First Massachusetts Bank, N.A.
when the sale is finally approved by
the Massachusetts Attorney General
and the U.S. justice Depariment.
"We are looking forward to serv-
ing the Amherst. UMass, and
Amherst College communities," said
William H. Chadwick, president
and chief executive officer of

All accounts opened at those
branches will be transferred to First
Massachusetts accounts. Chadwick
said terms of all certificate of
deposits and loans will remain the
same until maturity.
"[Shawmut and Fleet] customers
will be notified well in advance of
any changes," Harrison said.
Shawmut customers can ck>se their
accounts aiKl re-open them with Reet
when the merger occurs, said Harrison.
"Each buyer has agreed to
employ all Fleet and Shawmut
branch employees and will continue
to offer a high level of services,"
said Anne Slattery, Fleet senior vice
president.
Chadwick assured that customers
will not see a dramatic change. After
the acquisition is complete, many
accounts and services will be quite
similar such as savings, checking and
credit cards, he said.
First Massachusetts has plans to
place Automated Teller Machines
across Western and Central
Massachusetts including stand alone
sites. Chadwick said if the University
of Massachusetts offers First
Massachusetts the opportunity to
place an ATM on campus, they will
definitely do it.
"First Massachusetts will take a
hard look at the student market.'
said Chadwick.

Educational inequalities loom
When t compare my Phikisophy and Women's
Studies' classes these da>s to those of 25 years
jgo, there jre sume upsetting features. I see less
older women's faces. Re-entry women's services
have been cut h\ University budget cuts Workfare
reform- in welfare just made it impossible for one of my
few older 'ludenis. a welfare mom. to continue at UMass.
Lack of jttordahlc childcare forced another, a graduate
student •■ingle mother, to move back with her relative* in
Florida sii she si'uld get childcare.
There may K- a few more fates I'l
color since the I'HKK when student
activism created New Africa House,
the Bilingual Collegiate Program and
CCFBMS (More recently the
Malcolm \ Center, the New Asian
Center and the losephine White Eagle
Native .-Vmerican Cultural Center
have been created in recognition of
the diversity of student* on campus.)

well among the much smaller pri>por-
tic>n of white working class students

And the students of color, and

have more problem* flnishing the classes than thev ij*cd

they have a* much initial promise as the white middle

hour* a week to support them*elve? Clearly, such lai^ department
work schedules do not leave much time for study or
leisure. Is it then a surprise that economically poorer stu-
dents have a bad retention rate at the University?
A pervasive problem for students with few Tinancial
resources, including older students with children, is the
large cuts in student services created by the cutbacks in
public higher education in the late 1980s and early 1990s
The re- entry program for older women at Everywomen's
Center was cut.
Returning students who use the University Without
Walls to obtain prior learning credits
now have to pay for each credit
awarded .Academic tutors and coun-
selors at LWW. CCEBMS and BCP
have been cut as well as therapists at
EWC and Health Services Childcare
services for students have been cut
drastically, so there are less available
slots. Graduate student's parents,
usually single mothers, are particular-
ly hurt by the lack of slots and subsi-
dies, since they are not eligible for
undergraduate childcare subsidies
Workfare requirements of welfare
reform now makes it almost impossi-
ble for a welfare mother of
pre-school children to attend col-
lege If the proposed $10 4 billion in
cuts from the federal student loan
program go through, many fewer
working class students will be able to afford higher edu-
cation.
The Campus Convention this week on the Future of
Public Higher Education is an important opportunity for
all of the University community to discuss the extent of
these educational inequalities. I urge you to come to the
Plenary today, at Memorial Hall, and to attend other relat-
ed workshops Nov 1st and 2nd. We all will learn more
about the student needs that aren't being met and what
we can do to address them.
In particular. I hope you can attend the workshop on
Access and Resource issues sponsored by Women's
Studies at>d Everywomen's Center on Nov 2. in Herier

ple's right of access to higher education go down the

Nothing better than deep thoughts
D.' you ever wonder about
things? I mean random things
that really have nothing to do
with anything al all and are of no
great significance to our lives. Let me
give you some examples of some of
the subjects I've been wondering
about, question* that will probably
never be answered and probably
never need to be:
I ) Why do most of my favorite
band* no longer exist?
2 1 Whv do the pipes directly above
mv head have to clank and bang at
three o'ckvk in the morning? It* warm
enough! Turn the damn heat off!
> I Whv i* it impossible to say the
Word* "Saturday Night Live" really
fast without slurring them? I me** it
up every *ingle time.
4 I Whv are there so many fried
worm* on the *idewalks after it rain*''
rXi they not realize the *un's out and
ctxiking them alive until it's too late to
wiggle over to the grass and start
wolfing down dirt? I* their brain the
fir*t thing to cook. *o thev just cant
lunction to -uve them*elve* anymore?
I feel reallv bad for them Plea*e. if
you scv a worm crawling a* fast as it
can over the sidewalk and it* really
sunny and hot out. give him a hand,
■^'ou'll feel much better al»ut yourn'lf.
51 Why doesn't the Top 10 guy
give the talking dolphin thing a rest?
6) Ho buttworm* really rule the
world'' 1 know they live in the cam-
pu* pond, but how far does their
influence really reach? Are they just
normal parasitic worms, or do they
really take over the brains of their
victim*? My friend claims the entire
faculty i* infected. Who is their
leader? How can we destroy them
before they destroy us"*
71 How did Oscar fit elephants and
i< swimming pool in his trash can?

in the Dining Commons? I'm actually
beginning to like the stuff. Have I
become immune^ Is it really not that
bad'' Am I just really hungry all the
time? What's urong with me?^!!

my ceiling come from? And why are
they orange?
10) Why was "The Twilight Zone"
ever cancelled? Rod Serling was so
neat. And what about "Amazing
Stories"? Come on! The only freaky
show left is "The X-Files" and who
wants to stay in and watch T.\'. on a
Friday night?
1 1 ) Why does everyone think I'm a
freshman? Am I really that mousy?
12) Which came first, the chicken
or the egg'' I'm pretty sure it was the
chicken, but I'm not positive.
13) Why did I pay money to see
Show Girls? I could have done my
laundry and still had fifty cents to
spare vrith the $3.50 I wasted on this
one. Oh. but it was a good laugh.
14) Does anyone but me have
recurring dreams about the lower
case "n" standing on the hill?
15) Why is there a bike in the
pond? Did the buttworms go for a
joyride?
16) Does it really always go to the
left?
17) Why cant I find the golden
ticket in the Wonka Bar? I want to
eat everlasting gobstoppers and flow-
ers shaped like teacups and watch the
Oompa-Loompa. Why can't it be
real??'.]
18) What the hell is Goofy?
(Sorry. I stole that one.)
19) What's so funny 'bout peace,
love and understanding?
Whoaohohoh. (Stole that one too.
Thanks Elvis.)
20) Do I have buttworms? Would
I know it if I did? I'm getting really
nervous about this whole buttworm
thing. If they've already taken the
faculty, what's to stop them from
spreading beyond the limits of
UMass? For all we know, the
President could have buttworms! If
he's been infected, then they really do
rule the world!
O.K. That's enough for now. I
know this was a dumb column, but I
hope it inspires you to think dumb
thoughts every once in a while. It's
good for the soul and it works a dif-
ferent part of the brain than you're
probably used to exercising. So have
fun ... and watch out for buttworms.

Opinion/Editorial
It's time we slime the criminals
The future weaponry for our law enforcers reads
like something out of a comic book. The list
includes such deadly items as sticky spray and
Spiderman-like nets. Something tells me this won't be all
that effective on our city streets. I'm in favor of less guns
on the streets, and less "shoot first then ask" tactics, but
how the hell are the men in blue ever going to get anv
respect with weapons courtesy of Kay-Bee toys?
The federal government is now tak-
ing steps to make law enforcement
units equipped with more non-lethal
weapons. The approach is to eliminate
guns and bullets and replace them
with non-life threatening tools.
Wrongful death lawsuits would be . . .
eliminated, and "deadly force" would IS running down the

Ghogkpifter comes to mind, but I don't think that Individ

good aim. not to mention some sort of super "Dirt Devil"
to clean the excess slime off the random passer by.
Another thing to consider is the potential criminal
probably has their own weapon, and isn't afraid to use it
against a human comic.
On the outset, these technological advances may seem
plausible to the average citizen who fears the excessive
use of force by police officers. Yet. when you stop to
think about those same officers that are out gunned on
city streets daily, it may not seem like such a hot idea.
Their handguns fail in ccmiparison to the playground

this protection from ourselves, we
won't be prepared for this futuristic,

should our law enforcers avoid these
devices when a bunch of nuts on a

heavy artillery?
We don't live in a perfect world
where everyone respect* the law and police officers can
stop crime with'^|ing shots. VioWnce i* a reality, one that
some law enforcers encounter on a daily basis. I don't

Spidemian and the Ghostbuster* trying to stop crime. I'd

Article full of taste-
less humor
To the Editor:
I would like to take this opportu-
nity to address )eremy Hurewitz's
column from the Oct. 26 issue of
the Collegian.
After reading your article. I
found myself searching for the per-
fect word to describe your
pompous, dilatory attitude that was
made obvious after just a few sen-
tences.
So you and your friends have
coined the term "schwagg" to
define something or someone pos-
sessing lame qualities. How very
clever and articulate of you. It was
after you gave numerous examples
of "schwagg" that I reached peak
frustration. Condoms are schwagg?
Wake up you fool. So are STDs
and unwanted pregnancies. Your
proposal to change the war on
drugs to. I believe "the party of
drugs" was the phrase you used,
struck me as nothing more than a
weak attempt at asinine humor.
I was struggling before to uncov-
er it. but the most accurate word to
describe your fascicle perspective
hits me as I write this. You, Mr.
Hurewitz. are the most pertinent
example of schwagg I have ever
encountered.

Local bands
deserve more
respect
To the Editor:
This is in response to the letter
printed concerning PUNK ROCK
and Project FLATBOY. I think the
idea that punk and punk bands are
linked to trouble is ridiculous. I'm
a musician myself and self promo-
tion is essential to a young band.
The only music that is adverti.sed is
music with corporate interest and
big money behind it. That is to say
un-authentic music. So. when a
band like Project FLATBOY, or
any other local band plays (regard-
less of the style). I try to show sup-
port and so should everyone in the
Valley. This is a somewhat enlight-
ened community and we should all
strive together to ward off the capi-
talist control of art

An independent
Quebec isn 't
harmful
To the Editor:
This is response to Marni
Helfner's "Quebec: free & inde-
pendent?" article. There are only
two ways that the remaining part
of Canada could be part of the
United States if Ouebec seceded.
One would be outright invasion
and annexation. Despite what the
writers from Developing Nations
would have us believe, the U.S.
has not been interested in overt
control of sovereign nations since
the early part of this century. The
other way that Canada could
become part of the U.S. is if the
citizens of Canada voted to
become part of the U.S.
In the unlikely event that the
Canadians wanted to give up their
sovereignty and become "the 5 1 si
state," I don't think Canadian cul-
ture would be in danger. The U.S.
has many different regional cul-
tures. After the
Mexican-American War. the
American Southwest still main-
tained its Spanish culture. Even
after 1 50 years the Tex-Mex cul-
ture is still present. The same is
also true for the Cajun culture in
Louisiana, and the Yankee her-
itage of New England. If Canada
became part of the U.S.. it would
not be the death of Canadian cul-
ture, but the beginning of an
understanding of Canadian culture
by the rest of the U.S.
As for security concerns. I'm not
sure who you think would invade
Canada if it sijyod independent
without Quebec The US. would
not invade it. The Russians would
either have to go through Alaska or
across the Arctic to pet to it. and I
don't think they are capable of sup-
porting such an operation with
their economy in shambles.
Besides, the Russians would go
after the rest of the former Soviet
Union before they tried for Canada.
That leaves Greenland. Ye*, the
Greenlanders arc going to invade
Canada, and then keep marching
south and take over the US. I
know I'll be ready when the big
Greenland artillery comes rolling
across campus.
An independent Quebec at worst
would havoc on (he Canadian
econt)mv for a few years. 1 do not
think that it would cause the col-
lapse of Canadian culture or
de-stabilize North America.

Perspectives on Kids discussed
By Laura Stock
Coilegiar Staff
Controversial issues surrounding
Larry Clark's film Kids were ana-
lyzed in a panel discussion orga-
nized by the Index following
Sunday night's screening of the
movie in the Student Union
Ballroom.
Clark's hotly debated tale of
teenage life in New York City
opened this past summer to varying
degrees of critical acclaim. The
visually graphic and conceptually
disturbing film chronicles a day and
night of gratuitous sex. intoxica-
tion, drug abuse and violence
among a group of teens who
saunter or skateboard down the city
streets in the summertime.
With so many weighty topics
emerging from the film, or as panel
member David lames Macy phrased
it. "something to offend every-
body,* each of the panel memt>er$
tried to discuss one aspect of the
movie, frum both personal and pro-
fessional standpoints.
Macy, director of AIDS Alive and
civil rights activist, expressed his
personal and academic views on the
film as a person living with AIDS.
Macy discussed the character of
lennie (Chloc Sevigny) who learns
she has been infected by, unbe-
knownst to him, the HIV-infected
Telly (Leo Fitzpatrick). Telly is a
sex fiend with an affinity for virgins
whom lennie spends the entire
movie trying to locate.
Macy saw the scene where a
drugged-out Jennie finds Telly
(having intercourse with another
virgin) but does not confront him
or seek retribution as extremely
unrealistic.
'Speaking as someone who's
been involved with HIV/AIDS for
1 5 years now, I know what hap-
pens when people find out who
has infected them ... when you find
the man or woman who infected
you with HIV you've got adrena-
line to burn — regardless of the
hallucinogen you've taken." Macy
said.
Michele Leaf, staff attorney of
the Student Legal Services office,
sat on the panel, and discussc-d the
absence of authority with regards to
law and lack of parents in a film
was billed for both adulis and kids.
Dr. |im Abel, from University
Health Services, was also a mem-
t>er of the panel. Abel confronted
the issues of the ill treatment of
women and the ignorance about
sex, condoms and AIDS.
Two UMass graduate
Communication students, Tim
Shary aixt lohn Shields also offered
their perspectives. Shields analyzed
the critical acclaim the film

Clark's controversial film. Kids.
received, while Shary attacked the
notion that Kids is realistic and rep-
resentative of kids today.
Although many audience mem-
bers defended Clark's theory that
these kids arc real, the panel discus-
sion generated arguments that the
film's topics warranted. The
two-hour discussion left audience
members less willing to tie spoon-
fed what Clark dished out, and
more apt to regard the film in an
objective light.

Another smash for the Pumpkins
By Rob Stev«ns
Collegian Staff
THE SMASHING PUMPKINS
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
Virgin Records
Mellon Collie and the Infinite
Sadness, the Smashing Pumpkins'
new double-length is the best album
of the decade. With this stunning
new work, the Chicago-based t>and
has proven twice that they are the
most creative and inspiring band of
the 90s. The band's approach to pop-
ular song is so unique and touching,
it should l>e used as an example to all
the struggling artists who are trying
to find a musical identity.
The Smashing Pumpkins' last
album, the multi-platinum Siamese
Dream, propelled the band to the
forefront of alternative rock. The
spacy sound effects, trippy distorted
guitar solos and catchy rifts brought
them inevitably to the position of
headliner at the 1994 Lollapalooza
music festival. On this new double
CD, the Pumpkins continue their
seven year tradition of incredibly pic-
turesque alternative music.
Similar to the Beatles' White
Album, the Pumpkins have over-
come the difficult task of producing
a masterful double album. Both the
While Album and Mellon Collie and
the Infinite Sadness contain 28
remarkable and creative songs.
Where the Beatles album had a "no
rules apply" where the individual
bands members went their own way,
the Pumpkins have a more cohesive
feel of a band in complete control of
their sound and music. But both
releases contain a collection of styles
that add much needed diversity.
Emotion seems to be the band's
forte. Whether it be a heart-warming
lyric or a guitar solo of explosion and
rage, the Pumpkins always seem to
trigger passionate sensation in their
music. Their emotions on this new
album span the entire spectrum of
high and low intensity, a certain bipo-
lar disorder through song. The beauty
of making a double album is that the
band is now able to display their
wide range of musical talent. About
half the songs are raw, hard, and
fast-paced while the other half are
slow, depressing sad songs.
The Pumpkins are not afraid to
wear their hearts on their sleeves as all
of the songs are deeply intimate and
personal. The lyrics are very reminis-
cent to a poetic Shakespearean mood.
Exquisite images of "twilight skies,
oceans blue and realms of soft delu-
sions* fiutter throughout both discs.
The songs are designed to reach out
and sweep every Smashing Pumpkins
fan's heart away. This style is most
evident in the song "Stumbleline."
Here the song tells the "lukebox fuck-
up hanging around the drug store' to
'fake it. I'll be your stumbleline. I'll be
your superqueen and make you me.*
Many of these melancholy songs
are tales of youth, stories of yesterday
that will never be forgotten. '1979'
may t>ecome their most overplayed
radio song yet. This song has a mysti-
cal and foreign sound very much like
the odd and irregular alternative style
that Sonic Youth has used through-
out its experimental history of guitar
imagination.
The other side of this bipolar disor-
der of music is on the opposite spec-
trum of mellow. The hard songs on
Mellon Collie are rougher and more
zealous than popular favorites from
Siamese Dream like 'Cherub Rock*
and 'Rocket.' Songs like the current
single "Bullet with Butterfly Wings"
show a care-free, "no holds t)arred*
attitude through song. Billy Corgan.
the Pumpkins' lead singer has always
been known for his arrogantly cocky
attitude and he still doesn't care
about other people's opinion of him.
Often Corgan separates himself
while blasting out his fierce soul.
This is the case on 'Fuck You (an
ode to no one).* In this devilishly
scary song Corgan explodes 'wreak-
ing havoc* and 'taking a virgin nury
axe to sweet baby jane."
Many of the songs are like an
R-rated horror flick as Corgan
screams like a singer in a saianic,
heavy metal band. Images of 'vam-
pires, death, and black holes' add
elements of shock value to the
already frightening songs. This style
is most evident in the song "Bodies."
Try telling this to your lover: 'No
bodies felt like you, notxxlys, love is
suicide* Corgan's feelings are tMim-
ing and passioitate, an author of hor-
rifying tales of love.
This album is a masterpiece dis-
playing the unlimited range of talent
that the Smashing Pumpkins possess.
Mellon Collie and the Infinite
Sadness has everything to offer, every
song has a different sound, a unique
feel. The songs arc each a poem,
carefully ttioughl out. Every word is
important and meaningful creating a
land of Smashing Pumpkins'
metaphor and sorrow, a breath-tak-
ing roller coaster nde through a fairy-
tale IbikJ in the center of human erTH>-
tion. A
Jim Rose Circus a terrify ingly awesome show
By liio Olivari

Pearl Street
Od 28
NORTHAMPTON — An over-
whelming cry of terror rose from the
audience Sunday night at Pearl Street
as members of |im Rose's Circus ran
out into the pitch black crowd, carry-
ing chainsaws which were spraying
water over the heads of the fright-
ened audience. For what seemed like
an eternity, people ran lo safety as
not to fall into the hands of the |im
Rose Circus.
Although many people left the
show trembling, no one lefi without a
look of both awe and disgust.
Harsher than the previous shows
with Nine Inch Nails. Rose combined
both the long-time crowd favorites
wilh additional acts he was not
alk)wed to perform in larger venues.
*This (club tourl allowed us to do
more comedy,* |im Rose said.
Rose, interacting well with the top-
less circus queen, acted as a human
dart board, put his face into glass
while an audience member stepped
on his head. He topped it all off by
swallowing razor blades and then
regurgitating them up on a piece of
string as he worked the crowd into a
frenzy.
Always a crowd favorite, the
Enigma lived up to everybody's
expectations. He gulped down not
only a shattered lightbulb, but also a
yummy combination of worms, mag-

Voodoo Glow Skulls new ska album a treat
By Adam CXwgacz
Collegian Correspondent
THE VOOOOO GLOW SKUUS
Firme
Epilafh
This band doesn't sound like Bad
Religion. NOFX, Rancid or the
Offspring yet, they are Epitath's best
band. Imagine a bunch of kids who
were weaned on The Dcsccndents
and the Adolescents joined by a horn
section that listened to a lot of the
Specials and the Toasters and you
have the Voodoo Glow Skulls.
Firme. the group's second album
and first on Epitath, explodes full of
energy that will keep you moving
your feel. The marriage of frantic
mayhem of punk and catchy Ska beat
encourages one not lo think, just to
dance.
What separates the Voodoo Glow
Skulls from so many bands today is
that they're so much fun. The song
"Fat Randy" is about an overweight,
alcoholic, bully while in "Thrifi Shop
lunkie" they admit to not having any
taste in clothes. They do steal a little
bit from the Mighty Mighty
Bosstones on the songs "Drunk
Tank," 'Trouble Walking" and
"Nicotine Fit" which extol the virtues
of smoking cigarettes and drinking
until you can't walk.
Of course when the music is as
good as it is on this album, they can
sing about whatever they want and
still gel away with it. They get a lit-
tle serious on "locks From Hell"
which attacks the jocks who have
stormed ihe punk scene. You can
tell from this song that the Glow
Skulls were into punk before il
became cool.
For you pure rudies out there.
"Empty Bottles" and (he instrumental
"Malas Palabras" could have been
released on Two-Tone Records. They
get political on "Shoot The Moon"
and "Construction." However,
"Method 10 Madness" urges the lis-
tener to forget about life and just
have a good time while listening to
the Glow Skulls.
This album in not for the mellower
listener. Voodoo gives you lightening
quick guitars and drums over a
hyperactive horn section, a perfect
combination for destruction. Each
song is pure thrash-ska. You won't
become cool by buying this album
and it won't change your way of
thinking but then again Voodoo
Glow Skulls wouldn't want you to. A
The Voodoo Glow Skulls and
Schlong play al ihe Iron Horse in
Northampton lonighl. Tickets are $9
in advance and are available from
the Northampton Box Office. Call the
club for more info.

corporations in their degradation of the environment and
failing to check a deadly environmental racism that
encourages placement of toxic waste in communities of
color -Vnd of course, we call for a halt to all of this
2\ Furthermore, we call on the government to stop
undoing hard won gains such as atTirmarive action, voting
nght> and distracting favorable to maximum Black politi-
cal participation, to provide universal, full and affordable
health care; to provide and suppv^rt programs for afford-
able housing; to pass the Convers Reparations Bill, to
repeal the Omnibus Crime Bill, to halt disinvestment in
social development and stop penalizing the urban and
well'are poor and using them as scapegoats, to adopt an
economic bill of rights including a plan to rebuild the
wasting cities; to craft and institute policies to preserve
and protect the environment and to halt the pnvatizanon
of pubhc wealth, space and responsibihty
22 In addition, we call on the government of the L.S
to stop blaming pev>ple of color for problems created by
ineffective government and corpvirate greed and irrespon-
sibility, to hofKir the treaties signed with \atives Peoples
of th.' L' S., and to respect their just claims and interests;
to irKrease and expand etTorts to eliminate race, class aivd
gender discnmination. and to stop pandering to white
fears and white supremacy hatreds and illusions aivl help
create a new vision of human and societal possibilities
25 We also are compelled to call on the government of
this country to craJt a sensible and moral foreign policy
that pan ides for equal treatment of Afncan. Canbbean
and other Third World refugees and countnes; that for-
gives foreign debt to former colonies, that tosters a just
and equitable peace and nxognizes the right of self-deter-
minatkm of peoples in the Middle East m the Caribbean
and around the world that rejects embargoes which
penahze wKiW pcv^ple*. that suppons a mst and rightful

constantly increasing technological efficiency. Our
position is that no human conduct is immune from the
demands of moral responsibility or exempt from moral
assessment The weigfit of corporations in modem life
is overwhelming and their commitment to maximizing
profit and technological efficiency can and often do
lead to tremendous social costs such as deteriorating
and dangerous working conditions, massive layoffs,
harmful products projected as beneficial, environmen-
tal degradation, de-industrialization, corporate reloca-
tion and disinvestment in social structures and develop-
ment
2t. We thus call on corporations to practice a corporate
responsibility that requires and encourages efforts to mini-
mize and eventually eliminate harmful consequences
which persons, commumties and the environment sustain
as a result c>f productive and consumptive practices.
27 W'e also call on cc^rporations to respect the dignity
and interest of the worker in this country and abroad, to
mainuin safe and adequate working conditions for work-
ers, provide adequate benefits, prohibit and penalize
racial and gender discnmination. halt displacement and
dislocation of workers, enccxirage orgamzation and mean-
ingful panicipation in decision-making bv workers and
halt disinvestment m the social structure, de-industrializa-
tion and corporate rekxanon
2i< Moreover we call on corporations to reinvest
profits back into the communities from which it extracts
profits, to increase support for Black charities, con-
tnbute more to Black education in public schools and
traditional Black universities and colleges, and to Black
education in predominately white colleges and universi-
ties, to open facilities to the community for cultural and
recreational use and to contnbute to the building of
community msntutions and other projects to reinvest in
the social structure and development o( the Black ccwn-
munity
29 The further consideration of profit made from
Black consumers we call on corporate America to pro-
vide expanded investment opportunities for Black peo-
ple, engage in partnership with Black businesses and
business persons; increase employ-ment of Black man-
agers and general employees; conduct massive job train-
ing among Blacks for work m the 2 1st century, and aid
in the development of programs to halt and reverse
urban decay :
50 Finally, we call on corporations to show appnjpriate
care and responsibility for the environment, to minimize
and halt pollution, deforesution and depletion of natural
resource* aixl the destruction of pUnts. animals, birds,
fish, reptiles and infects and their natural habiuts; and to
rebuild wasted and danuged areas ai>d expand the num-
ber. $i2e and kind of areas preserve
M TV Dav of Absence
31. W'e call on those who do not come to Washington
especiallv. Black women, to mobilize and organize the
communirv in supp».)rt of the Million Man March and its
goals The Day of Absence is a parallel activity to the
Million Man March and a component part of one joint
and cooperative project: the standing up and assumption
of a new and expanded responsibility by the Black man in
particular and the Black community in general.
52 Women are in the leadership of the Day of Absence
without exclusion of men as men are in the leadership of
the Million Man March without exclusion of women And
both activities are equally essential.
55 The Dav of Absence is a sacred day. a holy day. a
day of atonement, reconciliation and responsibility. It thus
has activities to reflect this. To observe this sacred day,
we call on all Black people to stay away from work, from
school, from businesses, and from places of entertainment
and spons and to turn inward and focus on the themes of
atonement, reconciliation and responsibility in our lives
and struggle.
54 We call on those who choose prayer and meditation
as essential way*- of observation to do this in groups of
family and fnends at home or in larger groups at mosques,
churches, synagogues, temples and other places of wor
ship
55 Also, we call for teach-ins at homes and in cominu-
raty gathenngs on;
a the meaning of this day and the juiKture of
history at which we are as people:
b. the meaning of the Million Man March, the
Day of .Atonement. Reconciliation and Responsibility, and
the Day of Absence and the goals of this joint project as
.*et forth m the Mission Statement:
c the importance and requirements of our strug-
gle for liberation and justice:
d the indispensabilitv of spiritual and ethical
grounding in our families, our communities and our strug-
gle; and
e the glory and burdens of our history as fathers
and mothers of human civilization, sons and daughters of
the Holocaust of African Enslavement and authors and
heirs of the reaffirmation of our Africanness and our com-
mitment to liberation in the 60s.
56. Furthermore, we call on this day for massive voter
registration if an essential act of responsibility for being
polincally active and morally engaged persons profoundly
vOinmitted to the improvements of the quality of life in
the cotnmunity and larger society
57 And finally, we call on all to contribute to the estab-
lishment of a Black Economic Development Fund as also
an essential act of responsibility for the economic develop-
ment oi the community and to embrace the ancient an
excellent teaching that small things given return in abun-
dance and the good we do for others is actually done for
ourselves For it helps build and strengthen the moral
communirv we all want to live in
'Young, Gifted and Black:
The Promise of Black Youth"
by Dr. Monwng
People ci all races ethnic backgrounds and social
classes frequently say the 'young people are our most
important resource * For people ci cclcr and especially
for Afncan AmerKans. our ideas about youth are also
affected profoundly by our collecnve memory by our

and deserving of every opportunity life has to offer.
The belief in the promise of black youth is also con-
nected with the struggle to achieve freedom within

We arranged ourselves in a cipher
with the darkest and lightest persons
in the room standing side bv side
Every complexion in between these
two were categorized and positioned
accordingly. W'e shared very intimate
and sensitive issues that in no way
excluded people of European descent.
Actually, this group of brilliant stu-
dent was able to see thai white
supremacy gave birth to this "com-
plexion problem" that has penetrated
the minds and often governs the
action of nearly everyone.
A member of the cipher explained
that "men don t want lo approach
anyone thai doi-sn t knik like Nanessa
Williams" implying that her beauty is
based upon her being thin, light
skinned with green eyes. Someone
added that they weren't willing "to
call Vanessa Williams ugly just
because she's light". I agree with
both statements, because they hold
some truth Is it possible for us to
keep in mind that there is no single
complexion of people
that have a monopoly
on beauty? If we sini
ply allow our educa
lion's to shine by tak-
ing into consideration
simple genetics, we would sec thai all
the beauty in this world has one
beautiful root.
In that room, on October 16,
1995, we created a 560 degree circle
ihal did have a beginning: the dark-
est person in the circle.

eyes closed. When they opened them you had their land and they had the
bible. With the Bible and gun. you robbed, raped, murdered our
fore-parenis in the name of lesus. You have divided black people into
groups causing them lo distrust each other. The first charge is for mis-
leading black people into their color blind blindness. You have black
people worshipping everything white as good. WTiite jcsus, white wing
angels, white Christmas, even the songs talk about whiter than snow I

God will accept my sins? And by the way Michael Angelo painting of his

heaven is white. Everything in hell is black. Is a lucky t'ing Jamaicans
start to visit hell an' really see for themselves.
RB: Your Honor, if I may be allowed to speak. Our divine and
beloved father Pope ...
fudge: Hush up. Dope or Pope. I will not allow you to ask any ques-
tions 'ere. I have never heard anyone ask you any questions in any of your
church services. You are also charged for collecting money under false
pretense. You keep saying the church have no money. Yet every little
open land have a tent for a few months, then a massive building later.
Did not your Bible say your Kxly is the temple of God?
Pros: Your Honor. Mr. Den. has been collecting money from people
saying that he can get them into Miami via the Bahamas to guide spiri-
tual crusades. Though such people are in jail sir, trying to reach
Miami.
fudge: What? I thought you would be trying to gel them to heaven via
your church. Y'ou are also charged for misinterpretation. You have twist-
ed the Bible to suit white supremacy. You have taken stories and quotes
from other booLs much older than the Bible and made them into myths.
Have you ever read "The Egyptian Book of the Dead?"
Den: The what?
ludge: It is because of you why the deejay's have no respect for our
black women. You have painted a picture of women as the originator of
sin. You have made women look inferior in all your religious acts. You
have been preaching a sexist doctrine to our people. From Eve 'til now,
you have blamed women for the downfall of the world. You blamed
Delilah for Samson's stupidity. You have even placed sin on sex, saying
that Maiy was a virgin all her life. With these images, what do you expect
for our people? You even have the earth as only 6000 years old. Maybe
the history of Europe is only 6000 years old. But black people have been
here long before. Long, long before.
RB: Your Honor...
ludge: Hush up. Didn't I tell you not lo interrupt. You shall get an
extra lOtX) for cunlenipt of court.
Pros: Your Honor, there's a certain denomination that have been given
legal status here. That same denomination have been preaching for years
that black people cannot enter heaven. Yet their recruiters travel aroun'
on bicycles two by two trying to win souls.
ludge: 1 have heard of this. 1 hear that they call themselves church of
the Latter-day Saints of lesus Christ or Morons.
RB: The word is Mormons your Honor. You have to understand that
things change.
ludge: Hush up. Undersian'. Black people have been under the stand
for centuries. These Morons or Mormons as you cull them, should never
be allowed into a country that is predominantly black to preach about
CkkI. You have been collabtirating with the politicians to trick black peo-
ple. You have branded vcxxloo and nbeah and all other African oriented
traditions as paganism. Yet you have the people going lo church, trying to
drink the blood of lesus and cat his flesh. And I did hear you leaching
them to pray niid I quote. "Lead us not into temptation." It is you they
should be asking to lead them not into temptation. When since the lord
lead people into temptation that you should be asking him not lo do it.
Den: That was a slight misinterpretation.
ludge: Remember the baker. Remember the one who was swagging
hearts. Remember the one who was using his mouth to orally rob us. All
of these wore collecting souls under false pretense, Mr. RB and Mr, Den.,
I hereby sentence you both to 1000 years for swindling pot>r people by
way of radio and TV. I also give you 1000 years for each year that black
people have been suffering since Columbus came 'ere. Now lake them
away.

Not only was your discussion
therapeutic for many, it was memo-

lege experience. I have attended dis-
cussion on this campus that tried lo
dispel the myth of "light is right"
and "black is wack", but never has it
been done with such order, honesty
and progression. We can't avoid this
issue academically, simpiv because
we've accustomed lo hearing and
speaking about it while arguing, or
in the intimate selling of gossiping:
both being unprogressive We have
access to information and facilities
that are not readily accessible lo
everyone. W'e us students also have
the advantage and luxury to have the
lime to sit and ponder and philoso-
phize. Therefore, it is tiur duty to
construct and develop ways to heal
this destructive problem of complex
iun and introduce it lo our friends
and family. Whether it be in the
form of literature, music, work
shops, psychology, anthropology,
biolog), or nialhemalics. it is our
duty. This can only be done b) first
recognizing that this di\i>u>ii w.is
imposed upon us by the insliiulion
of racism.
We lend lo udopi this academic
jargon and these collegiate altitudes

Young black man: In perspective
While watching the .Million Man .Mari.h. I s^vv some-
thing thai instantaneously brought tears to my eyes and
reminded me of something thai was now lacking in my
life. I noticed a mother, elcganlly and proudly walking
with her three beautiful "Black Male Children " I thought
to myself, "I could imagine Grand doing the same lor me "
Grand, of course, being short for "Grandmother " I was
lold by her at the age of four thai she felt Iim voung to be
a grandmother. Therefore. I was to cull her Grand Many
times, this same little 951b grandmother saved my ass
from the troubled streets. It seemed us if everyiMie knew
that it would be best not lo step in her path "STRONG

Farrakhan couldn't even mess with Grand I could
imagine her saying, "With all due respect Farrakhan, I'm
taking my grandson lo the march and there Is absolutely
nothing you can do about it," I guess in u way. she was my

When I first came from Haiti lo the United Slates I
never thought in terms of color. One reason, I was not old
enough and il was nol pan of my <>■(■/<' socialtzalion I had
always been made aware of the fad that Haitians were a
great people and later that people of African descent are a
great people. But I would siKin enough find out about the
pain and sorrow thul came with being black: hut most
importantly I would learn of the ptiwer, the great history
and of OUR manifest destiny.
The road to understanding my people from all types of
backgrounds and of all shades and sizes did nol come easy
but nevertheless it came. It came through denial and
shamefulness. sometimes even through
resentment for my own people.
When I first enrolled in elementary
school. I spoke no English and thus I
became a target of ignorant jokes. I would
come home with lots of question in my
head, like why do these kids call me black and African
when they are also black and African? I was facing two
worlds of discrimination, one by my own people, the other
by while people. I knew then what I always will know: the
world is a struggle and our life is a fight — a fight that can-
not be won alone and can only be won by using the hack-
neyed expression of "united we stand und divided we fall."
My struggle like most is constantly leading me towards
a more refined sense of cycle socialization: a higher
understanding of my people, our oppression and how we
arc oppressed If we understand how we arc oppress we
can thus overcome our oppressor. The first lesson I was to
learn in regards to overcoming my oppression would come
in my high school education.
My education gave me u fistful of what the world held
for me outside of my people and my culture. I would
learn of the have and the have nols. I also learned thut dis
crimination came in all shapes and sizes and that the ones
that were most dangerous were those that one could not
pinpoint or quiet relay into words — the subtle racism
that made incisions into one's inner being und it always
caused one to say: where did these kids aiid people leant
hi)w to be sti malicious?
I allended a prep school whose composition did nol
consist of a diverse population and did not pretend lo
have one either. Every one there hud u silver spiKin in
their mouths and those who did nut just pretended lo. I
realized that this was educulion. Thul only real money
could buy it but I did not lake udvantuge i>f it I did nol
try lo blend in because I um just not that type; I sIikkI
alone and constantly defended my blackness and my right
to be. During this era of high scIhhiI I wus very billet und
was unuhle to focus, I wus letting my bitter
iiess eat away at me. As a result I could nol
analyze und souk - like a sponge the
knowledge that wus there lo be tuken.
I cume 111 reulize thul my billemess stem
from the fact thul I refused to Ix- converted
into this happy, go lucky churucter: the type ol black pei
son Ihal just tries to blend in with the crowd, the type that
tries lo pretend thul iheir blackness dt)cs not exist und
thus does not pose us un impediment in their siiciul well
being. I knew I could never be thul type, nol even if I
wunted to. my emotions would nol ullow me. My resolu
lion would be to remuin angry und keep the passKmate
purl of myself as it wus and is. but at the same time, gel
rid of the bitterness because in the King lun il would
destroy me. Thul step was the menial healing ihut would

Miller's latest dabbles in occult
By Tara MK Connelly
Collegian Skjff
i»tDA lAEl MIUER
Time Without End
Berkley Books
It i$ rare ihat an author can com-
bine two topics like horror and
romance logeiher and gel a good
result. Linda Uiel Miller has been try-
ing to do both with her
vampire/romance series.
The first c>l her series, lorcwr And
The Sight, introduced vampire.
Aidan Tremayne. who talis for a mor-
tal named Neeiy. Of course there is
the conflict between being a vampire
and not being able to have a relation-
ship with a mortal: for instance what
to have lor dinner and what do you
tell your parents when he won't come
over for Sunday brunch. I. ike Anne
Rice. Miller tries to give her vampire
a soul and introduces several charac-
ters in the first novel to be carried on
into its sequel.
The second installment, for All
Eternity continues with the story of
Adian's sister Maeve. who alsv> falls
in love with a mortal, but h,is .m
even greater problem because she
has to destroy the c)ueei) of the vain
pires. I.isette, and uikc moi lur
throne.
Finally the third hcK)k centers oti
Valerian, a third vampire, who is a
friend of Aidan's and Maeve"s cre-
ator. Time Without TiiJ centers on
\'alerian's century old lie with one
woman named Brenna. a woman he
loved until death when he was a
mortal and continues Ui be retncar
nated every centurv iniu a diffeicnl
life.
It seems as if Brenna is destined lo
live lile over and over again, have
\'alerian fall in love with her over
and over again and yet K' murdered
over and over again (senNC a pal
tern?). Each lime \'alerian finds her
(one lime she was a bar nuiid named
Klisabelh. another a blind girl nametl
lennyl he vows not to go near hei
because inevitably she die-- and he i^
crushed all over again. Howevei
this lime Brenna has taken on the life
of a I as \ egas police officer. Daisy
Chandler, who i-i determined not to
let the curse be completed once
Playwright to lecture in classes
^igam.
The book also contains elements
of pasi lives, time traveling and par-
allel universes that can be confusing
.11 limes and make reading the book
a little choppy. It isn't something
you can open up and just start read-
ing.
Miller introduces different aspects
to her vampire world. She has her
world set up between vampires and
angels who battle over mortals.
Angels allow vampires to exist and
vampires have a respect for God's
niessengers.
The author keeps the pace going
and although this third book drags a
little, the first two really hold your
interest, look out for characters in
all three that .Miller will hopefully
make the focus of further sequels.
They include the vampire twins
Bianca and \'icka and Maeve and
(alder ■> child. Kri>tina. the only off-
--pring of two vampires to be bom in
human style.
If Miller can clean up some of the
overly sweet scenes and focus more
on the occult side, chances are her
next effort will be a winner, B

On Saturday. Nov. 4 the New
World Theater (NWT) at the
University of Massachusetts, in
collaboration with the Mount
Holyoke College Department of
Theater, will present Ftyin' West, a
play which explores conditions
African- American women had to
overcome in the late 18(X)s.
Playwright Pearl Cleagc explores
the lives of four African American
women who. after the 1860
Homestead Act. lied the South and
went West in hoping to escape
racism, domestic violence and slav-
ery.
The United States government's
Homestead Act of 1 860 offered
320 acres of "empty" land to any
citizen of the country willing to
work the land out West overlook-
ing the Native American popula-
tion there at the lime.
This historical play reflects the
way many African- American
women made their living as
domestics while others cultivated
iheir own land in order to survive.
It also shows that although the
West was not free from racist atti-
tudes, freedom and ownership of
their land made the difference.
Sponsored by NWT and the Five
College Multicultural Theater
Committee, the Atlanta-based
playwright Pearl Cleage will be
travelling to Amherst lo offer sev-
eral workshops and presentations
related to the play.
On Nov. 2 and 5 Cleage will
lecture at the Curtain Theater
UMass theater classes. On Friday.
Nov. 3 . at 2 p.m.. New World
Theater. along with the
Everywoman's Center, will be pre-
senting a panel discussion and
group workshop entitled
"Confronting the Issues at Home:

cussion.

New musical hits New York City
By Michael Kuchwara
As»xialed Press
ZOMBIES FROM THE BEYOND
Oct 29
New York City
NEW 'iORK -■They came, ihey
conquered, they had their hair done!"
So trumpets Zombies From the
Beyond, a campy outer-space musical
in which coiffeurs are as important as
the conquest of Earth. Well, almost
as important.
The show, a genial spoof of those
dreadful sci-fi flicks of the 1950s,
sets itself an impossible task. How
can you make fun of something that
already is howlingly funny? What
could top Zsa Zsa Gabor in Queen of
Outer Space or the classic Invaders
From Mars?
The musical, now on view at off-
Broadway's Players Theater, is
apix'alingly tacky. Cardboard seems
to be the dominant production value
in the show, which has book, music
and lyrics by lames Valcq.
Let's see if we can keep the plot
straight. Zombina, a full-figured alien
with a large voice, arrives in
Milwaukee from outer space in
search of a few good men. She necxis
to propagate her race, doomed by
atomic explosions.
The creature, who actually looks
more like loan Blondell than Zsa Zsa
Gabor, has a piercing soprano that
literally drives men wild. And turns
them into zombies.
Will handsome Trenton Corbeit,
earnest inventor, become one of her
slaves? Or will sweet yet deter-
mined Mary Malone, daughter of
the commanding officer at the
Milwaukee Space Center, find a way
to save him? Can there be any
doubt?
Valcq has written an easy-listening
score, circa 1955. It's innocuous prc-
rock 'n' roll, more Patti Page and
Perr>' Como than Bill Halev and the
Comets.
The cast could not be more
delightful or dead-on target.
Particularly effective are Susan
Gottschalk as the outer-space lady
with the awesome set of pipes. Claire
Morkin as the unnervingly compe-
tent Mary Malone and Matt
McClanahan as Mart's square-jawed
suitor.
Director and choreographer Pam
Kriger has a lough time sustaining
the silliness for a full two acts. Yet
whenever things threaten to run out
of steam, designer lames Schuette,
who did both sets and costumes,
offers up blissful bits of foolishness.
For example, he spins a toy space
craft across the stage. Or he puts
Zombina in a gaudy pink outfit that
would do an extraterrestrial Barbie
proud.
Zombies From the Beyond —
where no musical has ventured
before. Or more apt, is likely to go
again.
Threat of vandalism prevents annual grave vigil
NEW YORK (AP) — There will be
no graveside vigil for fans of Harry
Houdini this Halloween, the date
when some people every year expect
the great illusionist and escape artist
to try to communicate with the liv-
ing.
Previous Halloween pilgrimages by
the Society of .American Magicians to
Houdini's grave always had a side
affect of attracting vandals to the site.
Last year, the management of
Machpelah Cemcter\- barred the vigil.
There was no vandalism, so the ban
was continued for this year.
Houdini died on Halloween 1926.
helping feed an idea that he would
try to make contact from the grave
on anniversaries of his death.
In a compromise arranged by the
state, which took over the bankrupt
cemetery in 1987. the magicians'
homage will be held Nov. 16. the
date corresponding to Houdini's
death on this year's lewish calendar.
Houdini was lewish.
lames R. Colligan. a vice president
of the magicians' society, has
described the ritual as a solemn pay-
ing of respect.
The most serious vandalism
occurred in 1993. when stone bench-
es at the gravesite were smashed.

Lunatic play returns to Broadway
By Mkhoe) Kuchwara
Associofed Press
NEW YORK - Clownish lunacy
reigns supreme with the return of
Bill Irwin. David Shiner and the Red
Clay Ramblers in Fool Moon, a giddy
grab bag of old and new-style vaude-
ville.
Two years ago when Fool Moon
first arrived on Broadway, this critic
was churlish enough to quibble about
a sense of aimlcssness pervading the
comic proceedings. Actually, on a
second viewing, that's part of the
show's considerable charm.
Irwin and company have concoct-
ed an eclectic entertainment that
expertly contrasts the two downs'
markedly different personalities. If
the silent twosome were Walt Disney
cartoons, the wide-eyed Irwin would
be Mickey Mouse, a gentle, sweet-
tempered soul; the darker Shiner is
Donald Duck, easily agitated and
more aggressive. He's a bit of a bully
if he doesn't get his way. Yet a heart
of gold beats underneath all that
bluster.
This revival, which opened Sunday
at Broadway's Ambassador Theater,
again alternates humor and song. The
Red Clay Ramblers provide the
music. They arc a homespun combo,
at ease with country, gospel and what
sounds like 1920s pop tomfoolery.
These boys are a delight, the sort of
musicians who would fit easily on
public radio's "Prairie Home
Companion."
Yet it is the comics, dressed in
baggy pants, oversized jackets and
cone-shaped hats, who have to carry
the evening.
Both Irwin and Shiner arc expert
physical comedians, who owe as
much to Buster Kcaton. Charlie
Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy as
they do to the clowns at Ringling
Brothers.
If you didn't know better, you'd
swear the loose-limbed Irwin was
created out of Silly Putty. The man's
body is an accordion, able to squeeze
into the most bizarre shapes.
The rubbery Shiner is equally
compressible. He is also more con-
frontational with the audience.
Searching for an empty seat, he
climbs over patrons like a belligerent
mountain goat. He throws pop^o^n
at them, squirts them with water,
even steals a purse or two. And still
they laugh.
Shiner also brings several theater-
goers on stage for bits of extended
horseplay. Near the end of the
evening, he supervises the filming of
a silent movie — with hapless audi-
ence members serving as the actors.
It's amazing what he can get people
to do on stage without making them
look totally foolish.
So beware that good-humored par-
ticipation is required for Fool Moon
to cast its special comic glow. Yet
considering the talents of Irwin.
Shiner and the Red Clay Ramblers, it
is downright impossible not to fall
under this show's fanciful and very
funny spell.

Quebec Prime Minister to resign
Parizeau refuses to apologize to non-French immigrants
By David Crory
Associated Press
MONTREAL — Stung by defeat in the secession refer-
endum. Quebec Premier lacques Parizeau said Tuesday he
will resign as head of the bitterly divided province at
year's end.
He also voiced regret at the way he had blamed the loss
on non-French immigrants, but he stopped short of an
outright apology for a diatribe that drew a firestonn of
criticism.
Parizeau underscored his continuing support for the
separatist cause that has been at the heart of his long
political career. He said his separatist Parti Quebecois
would choose new leadership capable of achieving inde-
pendence for the mostly French-speaking province.
Parizeau. 65. was elc-cted premier last year after promis-
ing to hold a referendum on secession. His side lost
Monday, but only narrowly — 50.6 percent to 49.4 percent.
But at a time when the separatists could have been tak-
ing heart at their strong showing. Parizeau shocked even
his allies with a incendiary speech at campaign headquar-
ters, blaming the defeat on immigrants.
"It's true we have been defeated, but basically by
what?" Parizeau said. "By money and the ethnic vote."
Parizeau's co-leader in the separatist camp. Lucien
Bouchard, distanced himself from the ethnic remarks
Tuesday, signaling that the premier's position had become
untenable.
Parizeau said he used terms "that could have been
much better chosen." But he reiterated his view that
Quebec's French-speaking majority had, in effect, been
thwarted by non-francophones.
"I was shocked." Prime Minister lean Chretien said. "I
hope that everybody will reject that. Every citizen under
the law in Quebec is an equal citizen and you cannot
divide a society on 'ours' and 'theirs.'"
About 90 percent of English-speaking and immigrant
Quebcckers opposed secession, while French Quebeckers
— who make up 82 percent of the population — voted for
independence by a 60-40 margin.
Parizeau look responsibility for defeat.
"With my qualities and my faults. I contributed to
bringing this great project to the result of Oct. W." he
said. "Others will now take it across the final line."
Earlier Tuesday, Bouchard — a possible replacement
for Parizeau — scoffed at an offer from Chretien to nego-
tiate a new status for Quebtx.
"Never again will sovereigntists be begging for anything
from the rest of Canada." Bouchard declared. He said
Quebec would agree to negotiate with Canada only alter
winning an independence referendum,
Bouchard planned to meet with his party Wednesday to
discuss his future.
Chretien, chastened by the razor-thin federalist victory
Monday, said he would try to get other provincial pre-
miers to support changes that would decentralize the gov-
ernment and recognize Quebec as a distinct society.
Bouchard described his reaction to Chretien's offer as
"boredom" and "big yawns."
"Nobody's going to get us sovereigntists involved in
another 50 years of sterile discussions." he said.
Bouchard reiterated the separatists' promise to mount
another independence drive. Current Quebec law bars a
new secession referendum until after new legislative elec-
tions, but separatists control the legislature and could
change the law.
Though most of Canada welcomed Monday's outcome.
Quebec was uneasy. Montreal police reported 40 arrests
after supporters of the rival sides brawled, and a home-
made bomb was found at the offices of the federalist
Liberal Party. No one was seriously injured in the street
fighting, police said.
There was little celebration in the federal capital.
Ottawa, where Chretien met with his Cabinet to discuss
the impact of Monday's referendum.
The federalists' narrow victor*' kept Canada intact but
drove home the message that Quebeckers. and many
other Canadians, want major changes in the federal sys-
tem.
Quebec investors and executives weary
By Barbara Borsi
Associated Press
TORONTO - The Quebec refer
cndum vote that preserved Canada
lifted stocks and the Canadian dollar
Tuesday. But the federalist victory
was so narrow, and long-term
prospects so cloudy, that investors
and executives remained wary.
The outcome was "a reprieve, not
a pardon." said Desmond Morton,
director of the McGill University
Institute for the Study of Canada.
"The Canadian dollar may go up.
but not as far as if the issue had been
put in a box and buried," he said.
The Toronto Stock Exchange com-
posite index shot up 150 points
Tuesday and settled back to close up
79.40 points, or aKiul I 8 percent, al
4.459.16. The Canadian dollar ended
iiiHs'^North American trading day it
74.35 U.S. cents, up 0.77 cents from
Mc>nday.
In response, the Bank of Canada
lowered a key interest rate used to set
consumer rates. Analysts predicted it
will also slash up to 1 .25 percentage
points off the bank rate. Standard
and Poor's and Dominion Bond
Rating Service reaffirmed Quebec's
bond ratings.
"In the short term, it's good." said
Steven Polidoro. president of a
Quebec-based bag manufacturing
company. "Now we're worried about
the long term."
The vote Monday gave those
opposed to Quebec independence a
narrow victory — 50.6 percent to
49.4 percent.
Maurice Marchon of the University
of Montreal School of Advanced
Business Studies said that, though
the markets may be relieved by the
separatists' defeat, the message
remains clear: "Accept radical change
in Canada, otherwise next time it will
be 60 percent Yes."
He is pessimistic about political
change because Prime Minister lean
Chretien, a federalist, and Quebec
Premier lacques Parizeau. a sepa-
ratist, are "not the right people to
make it."
Without such evolution. CJuebec
and the rest of Canada will continue
"on a collision course" that will con-
tinue to make the economic climate
uncertain. Marchon said.
However. Marchon was optimistic
about the economy. He predicted
growth of 2.2 percent for this year
and 2.7 percent for next. He believes
interest rates will decline, though not
as much as if the No vote had been
more decisive.
The Toronto Star said the slim vic-
tory was "not the win the markets
wanted." Despite "initial applause by
world markets." the economic divi-
dend could be quite small, the paper
said.
Lloyd Atkinson, an economist at
MTA Investment Counsel, told the
Toronto Globe and Mail thai the
"this kind of victory, if you can call it
that, just opens a Pandora's box."
He anticipates the federal govern-
ment will have to pursue further
deficit and debt reduction and says
Quebec, also heavily indebted, will
be forced to follow suit.
Analyst Mario Angastiniotis of
MMS International expressed faith in
a higher Canadian dollar and lower
interest rates.
"The uncertainty may still be there
but it's a different kind of uncertain-
ty." he said. "You're not on the brink
of breaking up the country."
Sherry Cooper, chief economist
for investment dealer Nesbitt
Burns, said the referendum's close
result should motivate the federal
government to make constitutional
changes for Quebec and to "contin-
ue on the train of deficit reduc-
tion."
McCill's Morton said the federal
government faces intense political
pressure, even if it decentralizes
power, as most of the provinces
insist, and recognizes Quebec as a
distinct society.
"What Canada would agree to do
that Quebec would find acceptable is
mysterious." Morton said. "We'd
know better what to do with a Yes
victory."

Mourning, Hornets
can*t settle contract
By Joe AAocenka
Associated Press
CHARLOTTE. N.C - Three days
belore they begin what they hope will
be a season that elevates them to the
NBAs elite, the Charlotte Hornets
are considering trading Alonzo
Mourning because of a contract dis-
pute.
"Were trying to work out some-
thing where Alonzo will still be with
the Hornets." said Bob Bass, the
team's vice president ol basketball
operations.
Several broadcast and newspaper
reports said Mourning, whose con-
tract expires after this season, has
been offered a seven-year. $70 mil-
lion deal by the Hornets. He report-
edly wants $91 million for seven sea-
sons with an escape clause after four
seasons. The Hornets, who open the
season Friday against the Chicago
Bulls, do not deny they are mulling a
trade of one of the game's best play-
iTs They have called his demands
unreascinable and aa" said to be talk-
ing with up to eight teams about a
trade. Mourning is to cam $4.3^ mil-
lion this season, his fourth in the
NBA. ".All I can say is right now he's
under contract to the Charlotte
Hornets." Bass said, "and we're going
lo prepare to play the game Friday
night with him as part of our team."
Bavs said the team was continuing to
negotiate with Mourning's agent.
I)a\id Talk. Messages left b> The
Associated Press at Falk's office were
not returned.
On Tuesday, the 6-foot- 10 center
avoided reporters, who staged a "i
1/2-hour vigil outside the Hornets'
practice complex. Team employees
used elaborate car-switches with
Mourning's sport utility vehicle to aid
his getaway.
Mourning's teammates are not
happy about the prospects of trying
to improve on last year's club-record
50 victories without their top scorer,
rebounder and shot blocker. He has
averaged at least 21 points a game
each season since joining the Hornets
as the second pick in the 1992 draft.
"You don't get a quality center like
Alonzo very often." said 42-year-old
Robert Parish, one of Mourning's
backups, said outside the practice
complex. "You just don't replace
Alonzo Mourning."
"We'd really hate to see him go."
forward Scott Burrell said, shaking
his head. "If they're going to trade
him. I hope they get some great play-
ers for him."
Charlotte, already saddled with
Larry Johnson's $84 million contract,
has bivn talking with teams for sev-
eral weeks about trading Mourning.
One possibility has Mourning
going to the Los .Angeles Lakers for
7-1 center Vlade Divac. another play-
er and a first-round draft pick. Also
said to be under serious considera-
tion is a deal with Boston 7-0 center
Eric Montross, another player and
two first-round draft picks, or send-
ing Mourning to Portland for point
guard Rod Strickland and possibly
forward Cliff Robinson.
Talk of a deal dominated the air-
waves and sports pages Tuesday in
Charlotte, where fans want more
from a 7-year-old franchise that has
yet to advance past the second round
of the playoffs.
Bass was noncommittal when
asked how optimistic the team was
about retaining Mourning
"We're trying lo pct things worked
out." said Bass, who spoke at the
team's practice facility in neighboring
Fort Mill. S.C. Reporters were
allowed into the main gym to meet
with Bass only after the players and
coach Allan Brisiow had already left
for the locker room, which was
closed to the media.

couldn't wait to get there every day. That was my
life.
"The safest place in the world for me. and the
place I was most complete as a person, was on the
field.-
• • •
Scoring big goals neither began nor ended with
the UNC upset. Rothenberger started the trend
when she was only a freshman.
When the Minutewomen upset natioiial power
Old Dominion during the 1993 season, it was
Rothenberger that netted the game's only goal.
"Scoring against Old Dominion was a highlight.*
she said. "That was incredible."
The game proved to be the announcement of
Rothenberger's arrival. Big things were expected of
the Gilbertsville. Pa. native who fiad tfje unenviable
task of replacing Atlantic 10 Player of Year Ainslee
Press, who had led Massachusetts to the Final Four
in 1992.
Press, now an assistant coach at UMass. helped
Rothenberger make the transition to the collegiate
game.
* I Ainslee I had such an outstanding year here and
I had big shoes to fill when I came in as a fresh-
man. She was always there to help me out."
Rothenberger said. "I could always go to her with
questions. Ainslee has helped me a lot with my skill
and with my vision, finding open players."
Rothenberger had played well early that season,
earning the starting job at center midfield during
the preseason, but knocking off a national power
brought her considerable attention.
She finished her first season with nine goals and
two assists en route to Atlantic 10 Freshman of the
Year honors.
Rothenberger's offensive numbers were down
during her sophomore season, but her presence as
one of the team's most talented players continued
to grow, as did her leadership.
The 1995 season, with the graduation of four
seniors from a year ago and the departure of goal-
tender Hilary Rose to the British National Team,
necessitated her leadership to take an even bigger
step forward.
"I try to be a leader as best as I can, and I hope
my teammates feel that I'm being a good leader,'
Rothenberger said. "I've learned to keep my com-
posure a little more and not get frustrated in tight
situations."
According to Donnelly. Rothenberger is emerg-
ing as a capable leader.
"This year I think she has learned to lead instead
of just checrlcad." Donnelly said. "She is becoming
a leader instead of just a vocal cheerleader. That's a
difficult transition."
• • •
A year from now, Rothenberger will be wrapping
up her collegiate career, and will take her place as
one of the best players to wear the maroon and
white. But she hopes that her field hockey career
won't end there, as her life k)ng dream is to replace
her UMass jersey with a red. white and blue one for
the 2000 Olympics.
While many athletes have held Olympian pipe
dreams, the goal is a very tangible one fur
Rothenberger. After playing on the US National
Under- 1 8 and Under-21 squads, she was selected
as an altemaie for the National Team.
When Lcs Lyness. a member of the squad was
unable to play in lanuary. Rothenberger joined the
team in San Diego. While she didn't make it into
any of the teams exhibition games, working out and
practicing with the National squad proved to be
valuable for her.
"I think that experience made all the difference
in the world." Rothenberger said. "Those players
are just incredible. I couldn't believe the jump in
the level between the collegiate and the national
team.
"It's been a goal for as long as I can renumber to
go lo the Olympics. I realized that it was a realistic
goal for me when I made the under-2t team and
did become an alternate on the national team. It's
going to be a long road. But I hope that I can han-
dle it-
Experience wasn't all that Rothenberger gained
from the stint. Lyness. realizing that a rookie might
have trouble in the more difficult environment,
would call with encouragement for Rothenberger.
The two became close and Lyness became a mentor
for Rothenberger,

*Les is the kind of player I want to be,"
Rothenberger said. "She goes for every ball like
that's the one that's going to become the winning
goal. She's definitely someone 1 idolize."
National Team coach Pam Hixon, who has
coached Rothenberger as a freshman at UMass,
said that while Rothenberger looked lost at times
during her stint with the squad, she has what it
takes to be an elite athlete.
"Basically when the younger players join the
squad, very few of them look like they belong. It's
like a coll that's jusi being bom," Hixon said. "The
pace of the game and the intensity of the practices
and the skill of the players are so very different
than what they're used to.
"What Kyle benefitted from was figuring out
where she needed to go to play at that level. I think
she's strong, she's smart. Her skills arc very good
She has good game sense. If her heart is in it with
the real desire that is necessary lo be an elite ath-
lete, she can make it."
Rothenberger has pledged to put in the work
because of what the experience of playing for her
country would mean lo her.
"It would mean the world to me. When I put the
uniform on for the undcr-21 team, as soon as 1
slipped that shirt on it was just like. Wow. I'm rep-
resenting the United States. It's such an honor,'"
she said, "just putting the shirt on makes you real
ize what you're representing."
• • *
With such a lofty goal so close lo her reach, it
would be easy for Rothenberger lo discount the
meaning of her collegiate career, instead
Rothenberger holds a humble reverence for the
Massachusetts tradition.
"It gives me chills sometimes," she said "I still
feel honored putting on my UMass jersey represent-
ing the tradition that's here."
Her devotion to the program is obvious to
lX>nnelly.
"I understand the way she feels about this
school." said her coach for two years. "She has so
much pride. I talk a lot about what it means to
wear the UMass uniform. I think she feels it very
strongly. In practice and in games. It really mat-
ters to her what she does and if this program is
successful. She can't sleep when we don't do
well.
"She cares so much that she puts all of herself
inio it. You can't help but have respect lor thal."
Rothenberger has given a lot of herself lo field
hockey, but not as much as she feels it has given
back
"Field hockey is something I can generate all my
energy into. It brings out so many aspects of me. It
represents so much." she says, pausing. "I give so
much lime to it every day and I have for a lot of
years now. I've never regretted a second of the lime
thai I've put into it.
"It's been such a big part of my life and it's
meant so much to mc. It's got me through lough
limes when I just needed a release. I can always
count on hockey to relax.
"Field hockey is my life right now and I wouldn't
want it any other way."
continued from page 14
In the end, Michigan Tech received
a total of five minors and
Minncsota-Duluth received nine.
Things seemed to be back to normal
after sorting out the lopsided penal-
ties, until the officials let the teams
skate lour-on-four.
To lop that miscue. |ason
Haakslad and limfy Roy ^i^rc
allowed lo remain on the ice despite
each receiving double minors in the
scurmish. For the next four minutes
the possibility existed that, for the
first time in the history of hockey,
someone might score a goal while
allegedly being in the penalty box.
Realizing thai ihey completely and
utterly failed in their assessment of
penalties, the rcfs corrected them-
selves after the game, which ended as
a 6-5 overtime win for Duluth.
The officials added four Tech
penalties at 15:56 of the third period
after the game had ended, to make it
appear that they were justified in per-
mitting the four-on-four situation. In
reality Tech should have had an
extended power play.
All this led the Duluth New
Tribune's Chris Miller to quip
"Richard Nixon is dead. So if this is a
cover-up, don't blame him." in

regards to ref's efforts lo mask the
miscues by adding penalties well after
the game had ended.
No chairs were thrown by Mancini
and there was no repeat of when Los
Angeles Kings coach Tom Webster
throwing a stick al, and hitting, NHL
referee Kerry Frasier. Instead,
Mancini handled his frustration in a
civil manner.
"The only answer I'll give you." he
said while awaiting an explanation
outside the official's room after the
game. "Is I'll wait for the investiga-
tion.
• Much has been said both pro and
con on the issue of Hockey East's
revolutionary scoring system, which
awards five points for a victory and
uses shootouts to settle a tie.
One argument in favor of the
shootout is the enjoyment of the fan.
as Hockey East has to compete for
the entertainment dollar just as much
as any other enterprise.
Saturday night Merrimack and
Northeastern completed regulation
and overtime tied at one and went lo
a shootout.
No Hockey East shootout has ever
been more gripping, as college hock-
ey fans throughout New England
were captivated, watching the game
which was NESN's Game of the
Week. It took thirteen penally shots
for the eternal shootout lo mercifully
end. It was the Huskies lustin
Kcarns who beat Martin Leagult,
and sent the Warriors fans home
deflated.
lust 842 were on hand in the Volpe
Complex to witness the enthralling
events. If Merrimack draws over
1.000 for Saturday's game with
UMass there will be some truth to the
arguments that the shootouts raise
interest. The excitement generated by
the never-ending shootout, if the
logic follows, should be sufficient to
push attendance up by at least 1 58.
If not, then chalk up another argu-
ment to the league's conservative
bastion who would rather return to
the standard scoring methods.
• Despite opening al 4-1, with
four of the games coming against lop
national competition, Maine coach
Shawn Walsh is alarmed by his
team's play.
After permitting 14 goals in their
first three games (against NCAA cal-
iber teams in Miami of Ohio.
Michigan State and Michigan), Walsh
started Blair Marsh instead of All-
Amcrican goalie Blair Allison for
Saturday's game at Union. Allison
had started 47 in a row for the Black
Bears.
Marsh responded by holding
Union to just one goal, before yield-
ing to Allison on Sunday against
Colgate.
After running around the defensive
zone like chickens with ihoir heads
cut off against Michigan, Maine's
defense stepped forward this week-
end. It wasn't so much Allison's abili-
ties thai led Maine last year, but
Chris Imes and the rest of Maine's
exceptional defense. The wake-up
call was heard by freshmen Brett
Clark and David Cullen who wilh
strong forwards, will have the Black
Bears on the prowl.

Rothenberger measures up with all-time Minutewomen greats
By Molt Vautour
Collegian Staff
After playing No. 1 Nonh Carolina
10 a scoreless lie after regulation.
Massachusetts field hockey coach
Megan Donnelly gives her team a pep
talk to prepare her players for over-
time. They listen intently, heads
down in concentration.
"Someone." she says. "Someone
has to step up. Right now."
From the circle of listeners, one
head pops up Sophomore midfielder
Kyle Rothenberger locks eyes with
Donnelly and nods.
lust over six minutes later, the
Minuiewcimen are cheering, and it is
Rothenberger at the bottom of the
celebratory pigpile.
She did step up. tiring a shot past
UNC goalkeeper |ana W'ithrow to
give UMass the upset.
"When coach says that someone
has lo step up. I think it's me."
Rothenberger. now a junior, said
after the game. "1 want the ball in
overtime. I want lo be the one to take
the shot.
"When things ar« lough. I warn the
ball. I want to be the one lo gel it
dorR- for the team. I thrive on pres-
sure. It's such a great feeling. So far
I've shown it. I hope it keeps going
that way for me."
That kind of attitude is one that
every coach likes in a player, but for
Donnelly. Rolhenberger's approach
lo the game reminds her of a former
UMass player ... herself.
"She reminds me a lot of myself."
IX)nnelly said. "I understand the way
she feels on the field. I understand
when she's frustrated with herself
and the way she likes to play.
Perhaps the best compliment that I
can pay her is that I wish I had
played with her."
The similarities between the coach
and her player run far deeper than
on-field talent. The intensity, the
approach, superstitions and most
importantly the devotion to field
hockey, especially UMass field hock-
••\. almost mirror each other.
Donnelly, who captured the
Brodcriek Award, an award given to
the senior who had the best
four-year career, said that there is
one difference between the two play-
ers.
"She's better than I was." said the
four-lime All-American matter-
of-factly. "I have no problem saying
that. She's a better player and is bet-
ter for the team than I was. h's fun
coaching her."
Rothenberger is flattered by
Donnelly's comparisons.
"Megan was an outstanding player,
very intense. She had four phenome-
nal years here and then was an
Olympian. If I can be compared to
someone like that, there couldn't be
anything better." she said.
"Her love of the game is just so
phenomenal. She's just put so much
of her life and hard work into field
hockey. I don't know if I can com-
pare myself to someone like that.
Hopefully someday I'll be able to
look back and say I did that, but I
don't think it's hit home yet."
While Rothenberger scoffs at the
validity of the comparisons between
her and her coach, the amount thai
each one cares about the game and
her team is nearly identical. They
think about it constantly.
'I think about it a lot. It gels me in
trouble sometimes." she said laugh-
ing. "I'll be studying and then my
mind will drift off to field hockey.
Especially if we're not doing well.
When we were losing those games.
I'd sit in my room and think. What
are we doing wrong'.' What can we
do to get better'.''
"I'll wake up in the middle of the
night and think of a play and think
"Oh mv gosh this would work so
well.'" '
Rolhenberger's obsession with the
game comes nine years after her
coach's.
"I would be in class. 1 used lo just
sit and write that day's opponent
over and over. Academics were
important, but my true love was field
hockey." Donnelly said "Everything

After surgery on his ankle to repair an injury that

the success of the Cowboys. The suspected drug abuse
problems of defensive end Leon Lett and now back up
comerback Clayton Holmes could put a dent in the Big D
of Dallas.
The league office informed the Cowboys that the two
members of their defensive unit tested positive for sub-
stance abuse and suspensions will be pending. If the
leaders of the NFC East do lose Lett
and Holmes for this Monday night's
match up with second place
Philadelphia, the game may be as
exciting as the Cowboy-Eagle clashes
of the early '80s.
The Eagles front four has caused
havoc on the opposition's offensive line
the passed three weeks, making oppos-
ing quarterback run for their lives. Defensive end Mike
Mamula has shown that he was more than ready lo leave
college for the NFL as a junior. Right now he is a lock for
league defensive Rookie of the Year. The fomier Boston
College Eagle has learned not lo be so anxious coming off
the ball, drastically reducing the amount of offside penal-
lies he receives, while still getting in the offensive back-
field.
If Mamula and the rest of his defensive mates keep up
their performance that has been the reason for
Philadelphia's current three-game winning streak and the
best running attack in the NFL can keep the ball out of
Troy Aikman's hands, they can knock of the Cowboys and
put can themselves in a position to win Ihe divi.sion.
• Imagine someone telling you that the week ten match
up of Ihe reigning Super Bowl Champion 49ers and the
expansion Carolina Panthers would have major playoff
implications. With the Niners. Falcons and St. Louis
Rams all losing Sunday, those three teams are lied for first
in the NFC West with 5-5 records.
The Panthers are riding a three game winning streak,
setting an NFL record for consecutive wins by an expan-
sion club and with a victory over San Francisco would
trail the Niners by only one game.
lust the thought of Ihe first-year franchise being heard
in the same breath with the best team of Ihe last decade
would make people choke on their Rice-a-Roni. bul
entering this weekend it is a complete possibility that this
will be a competitive contest.
With the uncertainly of whether Steve Young will
return this week or next, he will not practice with the
team until at least Thursday, along with the loss of second
year running back William Floyd for the year with a dislo-
cated knee resulting in cartilage damage, makes this a
game.
The Niners received good news in the fact that tight end
BrenI Jones injury is not as serious as first thought, but he
could still be out for up lo a month. That puts a tremen-
dous burden on Elvis Grbac who has made two profes-
sional starts lo get the ball lo his dangerous wide
receivers. John Taylor and Jerry Rice.
Rice eclipsed James Lofton's record of total receiving
yards in the I 1-7 loss to Ihe New Orleans Saints on
Sunday. The only record left that the Mississippi Valley
Stale grad does not have on his resume is all-time catches
which is held by An Monk. With less than 80 receptions
to go before surpassing Ihe former Washington Redskin,
Rice has left no doubt that he is the greatest wjdeout ever
lo step on the gridiron.
• So much for a change of signal callers for the
Seahawks. Coach Dennis Erickson decided lo go with vet-
eran backup John Freisz this past weekend against the
Arizona Cardinals. In the second quarter though, Frei.sz
separated his shoulder handing off to running back Chris
Warren. Rick Mirer returned to the huddle as Seattle fell
to 2-6 on Ihe season, losing 20-14 in overtime on an
interception return for a touchdown.

The proposed reorganisation would result in the above power structure.
COlliCIAN CMWIIC n |*Mf S t CAMIT
The positions of two major Universit) of Massachusetts
administrators may be in jeopardy if a proposal from the
academic deans is developed.
Yesterday morning, a document concerning the restruc-
turing of University colleges, academia and administration
was distributed throughout campus offices Included in
the proposal was the assimilation of the duties of
Nice- chancellor for student affairs Thomas Robinson and
vice chancellor for research and graduate studies
Charlena Seymour into those of already existing adiiiinis-
irators.
Described as a "strategic plan." the proposal staled
three major goals for the future of the University.
"We must determine whether we can better serve our
cusuimers and improve our reputation by emphasizing
specific areas of excellence, operate more efficiently lo
conserve our precious funds and convince the trustees
that we are capable of self examination and internal disci
pline before we ask for budget enhancements." the docu-
ment said.
Administration narrowed
Under the plan, the University would be reduced lo
"three major administrative units" - "academic affairs."
"administration and finance" and "universit) advance
ment " Institutions with successful structures similar u>
the deans' proposal include the University of Minnesota,
iohns Hopkins University and the University of Michigan,
the document said
If the proposal were Ui go into effect, lurrent vice chan-
celk)r for administration and nmince Paul Page would over
see most of the tasks previously performed by Robinson,
among them housing, campuv and auxiliary st-rvices.
In addition, current Provost Pat Crosson's position
would not only expand to include the title "senior
vice chancellor for academic affairs." but would also
include all of Seymour's duties. Crosson woukj also have
the greatest number of affairs lo handle, with undergradu-
ate studies alone accounting for over 20 various programs
and offices.
According to the proposal, these changes can be made
in an "orderly" fashion, resolving that the displaced
administrators can either "change positions or leave the
institution "
Townes reacts
Vice chancellor for campus activities M. Ricardo
Townes said he had mixed feelings about the proposal,
specirically the possible elimination of Robinson, wfio he
desciibcd as an "asset to the campus." Townes did. how
ever, laud two issues raised by the presentation of the doc-
ument.
"I think it's good that the deans were willing to put their
ideas on paper and advise ihem." he said. "Second. I think
that we should all tolerate the many vwces who don't hoM
back their opinions about restructuring of campus."
Yet. there were also two major concerns "Townes said
he held about the proposal itself
"I believe very strongly in the need for the position of
vice-chancellor for student activities." he said "And num-
ber two. I'm concerned about any and all discussion on
campus without the benefit of governance groups being
involved in those discussions about policy.
"I'm concerned that students have not been given the
opportunity to take part in dl.scussions about restructur-
ing, especially restructuring which affects them directly "
Townes added thai he feels potentially controversial
changes are withheld by many administrators who fear
being labeled "racists or homophobes or whatever. "'n
atmosphere of "GlasrK>st" might alleviate the situation, he
said.
NCEL obtains $75,000 grant from foundation
By Else AHmi
Colaqion Correspondant
The National Coalition for Equality In Learning
(NCEL) of the School of Education at the
University of Massachusetts has received a $75,001)
grant from the Danforlh foundation in Missouri.
This funding is a continuation of a five-year grant
that has already supplied the foundation with over
$600,000.
This funding is used to carry out the national
coalition's programs to reform public schools
across the country and help at-risk students contin-
ue towards a secondary education.
Robert Sinclair, professor of education at the
University of Massachusett--, is the director of the
NaliuMil CAMtlMion. which i-- staffed by a group of
university graduate students. Sinclair and the
NCEL work closely with individual administrators,
teachers and students in local communities in
Alabama. California. Colorado. Louisiana.
Massachusetts. Minnesota, Pennsylvania and
Texas.
The goal of the coalition is to develop personal-
ized programs within each schot)l community, in
order to successfully address the individual needs
of the students in each community.
Accc»rding to Sinclair, the two main projects that
are being worked on presently by the NCEL
include a plan to help bring equality in learning to
Mudcnts in sckuol* where civil rights itsues need lo
be addressed, as well as a project lo assist teenage
mothers hi continuing their education.
In order to implement these programs, the coali-
tion works one- -on-one with the sch<H)l communi
ties Rather than developing a plan which is given
lo the schools to follow, they assist the schmils per
sonally in order to develop a plan that addresses
each schools's particular priorities

The University of Massachusetts
Hillel has taken a step onto the infor-
mation highway this semester as it
has set up a page on the World Wide
Web.
According to Rabbi Saul
Perlmutter. the main part of the page
is an on-line version of Hillel's
Calendar, which lists all the major
events they are putting on.
It also has several outside links,
according to Glen Slegner. who
wrote the actual program to put the
information on the web page. There
are links to the United Slates
Holocaust Memorial Museum Online,
to other colleges' Hillels and lewish
organizations and to other places
with information about and resources
in the lewish community.
Perlmutter said one of the major
benefits w\\\ be updated information
for the calendar.
"We put out a printed calendar
once every two months, but some-
times some events or ideas of interest
emerge after the calendar is printed."
said Perlmutter. "If someone wants
the most accurate updated informa-
tion ... the Web is the way to go."
Slegner said Ihe page will have
minor updates every week. Major
updates are made every other month,
when the new calendar is made.

Daniel Horowitz, a profess<ir of
American Studies at Smith
College, presented a speech enti-
tled "Betty Friedan ■41 and the
Origins of Modern Feminism."
The speech look place on Oct. W.
in Seelye Hall at Smith College.
The speech was focused mainly
on the life of Betty Friedan.
At Smith College, Friedan was a
student and the editor of the stu-
dent newspaper for Women's
affairs in the I'MOs. Friedan dis-
covered a character of radicalism
throughout her life. Her character
of radicalism was influenced
greatly by Dorothy Douglas, a
very important Economist who
laughl Marxism at Smith.
In 1941 and 1942, Friedan
accepted a series of adversial posi-
tions at Smith which included form-
ing rallies against the
Administration's labor unions upon
the appnwch of World War II.
After graduating from Smith.
Friedan spent a year at Berkeley,
where she combined the ideas of
Psychology and Marxism which
helped her to write her first book
the Feminist Mystique later on in
life.
Friedan left Berkeley In the
summer of 1 94 "5. then moved lo
New York later that fall, where
she began lo write alxiut women's
issues at an organization called
the Federated Press, also in New
York.
Friedan's writings were mainly
about the Afro American and
Latino working women who were
employed at the United Electrical
Workers Union at that time.
in 1946. Friedan left the
Federated Press and began work-
ing for the United Electric News.
The United FJetlric News in New
York, was at the time, the most
radical and the leading largest
communist labor union in the his-
tory of United Stales.
From 1946 lo 1952. Friedan
continued to write about women
in a way which was not particular-
ly unusual for the United Electric
News She wrote a lot about the
fair treatment for minority
women.
Friedan emerged In 1955 as a
writer for a women's magazine
and wrote a series of articles in
critiquing the suburban life.
In 1956. Friedan finally started
lo work on her book Feminist
Mystique as part of her effort
about living in an urban setting as
a journalist. Eventually. Friedan
shifted from reporting about labor
journalism to writing about while
middle class journalism
The Feminist movement
emerged from two groups in the
1960s where Friedan continued
her Feminist Mystique, explained
Horowitz.
The first group to have emerged
from the Feminist Movement is
the liberal White middle class,
which is devoted to advocate for
women's equality. The second one
was a more radical and young
group
Friedan was one of the true
founders of social Feminism and
most of her life she was devoted
to fighting for the equality of
women.
"Belly Friedan devoted her
entire life in political change for
women." Horowitz said "She is
also interest in the social transfor-
mation, finally she has been skep-
tical about women focusing on
one's self."

Pentagon revievus Cold war purchases
By John Diamond
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon is reviewing billions
of dollars in arms purchases that may have bc"cn based on
bogus estimates of Soviet strength that were fed to the
government by double agents, a senior defense official
said Wednesday.
The review encompasses a range of weapons, from mis-
sile warheads to nuclear submarines to high-performance
fighter aircraft purchased ^te in the Cold War. Deputy
EJefensc Secretary John Whtle, the Pentagon's No. 2 offi
cial, has established a panel of experts to examine the fall-
out from a CIA report acknowledging that intelligence
officials passed along tainted information from Soviet-
controlled double agents.
"One objective of the study will be to review the weight
that was given to what we now know was directed' infor-
mation in assessments that influenced policy decisions,"
the defense official said.
Pentagon officials learned earlier this year that Ihe dou-
ble agents, apparently under the orchestration of convict-
ed CIA spy Aldrich Ames, provided the CIA with exagger-
ated reports of Soviet military capabilities. CIA analysts
then passed those reports on to decision-makers at the
While House and in the Pentagon without any warning
that the information may have been bogus.
"We've been working with other members of the
national security community to assess Ihe damage this
controlled' information might have caused." said the
defense official, who spoke only on condition of anonymi-

coalitktn has worked closely with the schools as well as the
parents of students to help institute the equality in learning
program. Through their research, the coalition has kientified
problems including poverty and illiteracy in the home, as well
as lack of parent involvement in the children's education.
Using grant money, they were able to work with the
schools to provide things such as heahh care for the stu-
dents, as well as forming programs to educate the ptarents
and get them more involved in the educational develop-
ment of their child.
"We are discovering that it is possible to improve the
learning of young people who have a history of failure"
Sinclair said.
By working at the local level. Sinclair and his group
have found a connection with the students that has
proven itsell to be succetsful.
Other than the Danforth Foundation, the coalition has
received a great deal of money and support fnjm Amherst
area benefactress. Dr. Camille Cosby. The wife of televi-
sion actor Bill Cosby, Dr. Cosby has been especially
involved in helping teenage mothers by providing them
with the means to finish high school and offering them
scholarships to attend college.
Through grant money, such as the $75,000 that was
recently received, the National Coalition for Equality in
Learning has been able to make many positive develop-
ments in elementary and high schools across the nation.
The graduate students have been able to gain new. broad
perspectives by working in the schools themselves, one on
one with the students.
"Its a very real experience for us" said graduate student
Marco Bisssacia. of his opportunity to work personally in
the Khools.
Graduate students working on the project with

South Africans go to polls again
Country*s first local elections involving blacks and whites
By Donna Bryson
Auocioted Preji
JOHANNESBURG. South Africa
— Voters reshaped South Africa
Wednesday, putting blacks in
charge of cities and towns that had
once been white preserves.
It was the first time South Africa
has had local elections with all the
country's races taking part and only
the second time blacks have been
allowed to vote.
The first, in .April 1994. brought
President Nelson Mandela to power
and ended white minority rule at
the national level. But at the local
level there were still no black elect-
ed officials although some black
mayors had bcx'n apfxiinted as tran-
sitional leaders.
"This is the completion of the
democratic process that we began"
last year. Mandela said on a visit to
a polling station in the
Atieridgeville black township out-
side Pretoria.
Voting for almost 700 local and
rural councils was marred in some
areas by improper ballots, late offi-
cials and even a hungry elephant.
Some people went to the wrong
polling stations or found their
names were not on the registration
lists, slowing the process and pro-
voking angry confrontations.
Election officials expressed satis-
faction with the voting, calling it
generally smoother than the prob-
lem-plagued national vote last year.
But in some areas, long lines formed
outside the polling places and (he
slow pace meant voting continued
well after polls were to have closed.
"I want to live in a safe place, to
be comfortable. To have a house, a
street," said Winnie Cebu. a stu-
dent living in a squatter camp
south of Johannesburg.
Cebu arrived armed with a blan-
ket, a tin pot of coffee and a deck
of cards three hours before polls
opened. Still, she was far from first
in line at three green and yellow
tents set up on a soccer field as
polls for the Phola Park camp.
Results were expected Thursday
but there was little doubt the win-
ners would be with few exceptions
black — if only because most of the
candidates are black.
Elias Maluleke was pleased sev-
eral candidates running fur his
community council in
lohannesburg were neighbors.
"I've met them. I've sat and dis-
cussed with them. I know what
they want out of life." said
Maluleke. who is black.
Tommy Swanepoel. a white
retired policeman, feared white
conservatives would lose control in
his town — Ventersdorp, the head-
quarters of the neo-Nazi Afrikaner
Resistance Movement, west of
Johannesburg.
"The biggest thing here is to
make sure the white wards are still
run by whites," he said. "We
already pay all the taxes here and
the blacks want us to pay over
there too. They think we're all
Father Christmas."
Mandela himself didn't vote
Wednesday because he had regis-
tered in Cape Town. Disputes over
districts' boundaries postponed vot-
ing until next year in KwaZulu-Natal
pruvincc and the Cape Town metro-
politan area. Procedural problems
also postponed balk>ting in some iso-
lated rural areas, which will hold
elections later this year or next year.
A holiday was called for the elec-
tions. More than 15 million people
were eligible to vote.
Going into the election, turnout
had been expected to be low
because of voter apathy and confu-
sion over a dual ballot that asks
people to vote for a candidate and
then a party.
Many South Africans also com-
plained Mandela's government had
failed to deliver on promises of jobs
and houses made before last year's
election and questioned why they
should vote again.
Hundreds rally against police brutality
By Henry Cutter
Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — Sheriffs deputies hurried away two
noisy protesters this morning as hundreds of people
jammed the hallway outside a courtroom where an
inquest was to begin into the death of a man in police cus-
tixly.
Demonstrators in the hallway of the Allegheny County
Courthouse and a courtyard below chanted. "No justice.
No Peace." until the two men. one of them from the
.African-American Workers Union, were taken away.
"They grabbed two guys, from my under>tanding. that
were making a lot of noise over there." said Sgt lames
Ward of the Allegheny County Sheriffs Department. He
said he didn't know the men's names, nor what they were
to be charged with.
A six-member coroner's jury was to hear testimony
from about 40 witnesses before ruling on whether police
had good reason for force used against lonnv Gammage
on Oct 12.
GflATAkge, 31. 3 native of Syracuse. N.Y.." died aflcT
leading fvolic'e on a I.4-miIe, low -speed chase from the
suburb of Brentwood into Pittsburgh Police said they saw
him driving Seals' laguar erratically.
They said Gammage resisted arrest and bit the thumb
of one of the five officers who gathered to subdue him and
broke the wrist of another. One officer used his baton and
knee to subdue Gammage as he lay face-down on the
pavement, according to reports in the Pittsburgh Post-
Gazette.
The coroner ruled that Gammage suffocated due to
compression of his neck and chest.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson has called the death a "lynch-
ing." Gammage was black; the six officers are white. His
supporters argue that Gammage. who was 5-foot-7 and
weighed 187 pounds, would never have attacked police.
A small amount of moldy marijuana was fourid in the
laguar. but toxicology tests found no evidence that
Gammage had been using drugs.
Roland King, a resident of the Pittsburgh neighborhood
of East Liberty, said widespread violence is unlikely even
if the officers are not prosecuted. But he said anger will
linger among blacks.
"You're always going to have a few hotheads who
express themselves in a violent way. but for the majority
of blacks it's going to seethe and seethe and seethe." he
said. "It raises the tension."
If the officers' actions are ruled to be unjustified, the
jury would vote on what charges should be filed and
against whom.
Deputy Allegheny County Coroner Arthur G Gilkes ff."
may accept or reject the jury's rccommendaiiotu. If he
accepts them, he will forward them to the county district
attorney's office.
Prosecutors are also free to accept or reject the recom-
mendations. Pittsburgh police and the FBI are investigat-
ing the case.

Five state prisons take emergency measures to ease overcrowding
By Ricliard Loranl
Associated Press
CONCORD - About 500 inmates
from five Massachusells prisons were
rousted from their beds, herded onto
vans and flown to Texas Wednesday
in what authorities said was an emer-
gency measure to ease overcrowding.
"We are in dire straits here,'
Correction Commissioner Larry
DuBuis said at a news conference
announcing the massive overnight
operation. "This is the only viable
option we had."
The surprise shipment of 299
medium-security prisoners to a
Dallas County jail is part of a nation-
al trend. Seven states have sent
inmates to Texas counties trying to
cash in on extra jail space.
Dubois and Undersecretary for
Public Safety Robert Krekorian said
there are no plans to send additional
prisoners to Texas. But a spokesman
for the Dallas County Sheriff said
more shipments are being contem-
plated.
"I think they want to see how it
works out — kind of a trial run so to
speak." said spokesman lame's Ewell.
who added that the county expected
lo make more than $3 million profit a
year by housing Massachusetts
inmates.
Pri.soners' rights groups denounced
the move as ineffective and inhu-
mane, saying it cut off inmates from
family support and punished those
who are well-behaved.
"This is the kind of maneuver that
destroys families. It creates more
crime in the future." said |ill
Broteman of the American Friends
Service Committee in Cambridge.
Pat Tocci. whose brother |ohn
Milley had been serving a 6-10 year
sentence in MCI Shirley on a rape
conviction, saic she was shocked by
the transfer. She and Milley's wife.
Patricia, said they learned of the
move at about 3:45 a.m. from the
news.
"The only way we can visit him
will be lo spend $600 or $700 dollars
to pay for a plane ticket and no one
will be able to afford that." said
Tocci. who along with her mother
Sylvia Milley. had been visiting the
prison four times a week.
"I feel that the whole group of
them were just about kidnapped and
taken away from the families without
any word at all." she said during a
press conference at the American
Friends Service Committee.
Sylvia Milley said she felt "hopeless
and helpless because you can't do
anything about it.'
"I voted for jWeldj once, but I'll
never make that mistake again." she
said. "I hope Mr. Weld sleeps well
because I'm sure I won't."
The midnight move comes as the
Legislature considers bills to provide
money to expand prisons, which are
at 1 50 peaent of capacity.
The Senate chairman of the
Legislature's |oint Committee on
Public Safety, lames lajuga. said he
couldn't imagine the need to transfer
so many prisoners when there were
hundreds of beds available in the
state.
"We know we need more prisons,
period. We'd like that process to
move forward." lajuga said. "I don't
understand what the need is to do
this large a number."
But DuBois said he and Krekorian
had scoured the state for medium-
security beds and found none. He
also said the Texas move was cost-
effective.
DuBois said transporting and
housing the pri.soners in Texas would
cost $4.5 million to $5 million more
than keeping them in state prisons
this fiscal year.
The move leaves 10,501 inmates in
Massachusetts prisons. Krekorian
said. It is one of several efforts lo
ease overcrowding that he said jeop-
ardizes the safety of inmates and
guards.
The department has blamed an
August disturbance at Shirley state
prison on cramped quarters.
The operation began at 10:45 p.m.
on Tuesday but was kept secret for
security reasons until near dawn the
next day, corrections department
.Anthony Camevale said.
Teams of specially armed correc-
tional officers, some using police
dogs, went from cell to cell waking
prisoners fingered for transport. The
teams began at MCi-Gardner and
worked their way toward a ren-
dezvous point at MCl-Norfolk. State
inmates also were roused at MCI-
Shirley, and the Old Colony and
Southeastern correctional centers in
Bridgewaier.
Once they were awake, inmates
were searched, questioned and told
they were headed for Texas.
Authorities said disruptive inmates
were excluded, as were lifers, those
with special medical conditions and
those with a chance ol transferring to
a minimum-security prison in the
near future. Some prisoners were
scheduled for release in as little as
four months, however.
The inmates were then handcuffed
and shackled, and ordered into the
vans. The convoy that left Norfolk for
Logan International Airport included
40 correction vehicles and dozens of
state police cruisers, Camevale said.
At the airport, prisoners in groups
of three were loaded aboard a char-
tered Rich International airliner.
which took off at 6:42 a.m. and
arrived in Dallas less than four hours
later.
The inmates were bused without
incident to the 12-story Lew Sterrett
lustice Center in Dallas, sheriff's
spokesman Ewell said.
They were being housed on a sin-
gle floorof the jail.
Ewell said the prisoners from
Mas.sachusetts were the first to move
into ihe Dallas County |ail System
from out of state. The county has
6.800 jail beds and 5.500 prisoners,
not counting the new arrivals.
Several Texas counties have been
seeking outside prisoners to replace
stale inmates they had housed until
recently. Ewell said 4.000 Texas state
prisoners who had been in Dallas
County's six jails are now back in
state custody.
The shift conies after the stale ol
Texas spent $1 billion to expand ils
prisons, said Robert Dearing. deputy
director of the Texas Commission on
jail Statidards.
Other states with inmates in Texas
jails included Colorado. Utah.
Missouri. Oregon, North Carolina
and Virginia. Hawaii recently voted
lo ship inmates there as well.
Bui some critics say the profits are
being made at the expense of prison-
ers' rights and society at large. They
say sending prisoners far from home
undermines family tii*s, a major fac-
tor in keeping ex-convicts out of
prison.
"Why do we do Ihe one thing we
know is harmful''" said lenni
Gainsborough of ihc .American Civil
Liberties Union's National Prison
Project. "It might save money m the
short tcnn. but in the long term the
social and financial costs are much
greater."
And by shipping only inmates with
good behavior records, authorities
are sending them the wrong mes-
sage.
"One of the things ihey say is — "if
you behave well, if you rehabilitate
yourself, you will earn things.'
Invariably that is not the case, espe-
cially since Weld took office in
Massachusetts," she said.

Hverv Wednesday, two ot my

private gym which they, along
with another 8-11) guys, rent out
h»r a couple of hours for some
five-on-five. Three weeks agi-
they invited me to go with them.
For the evening, we all chip in and "plil the $3i

we all do our fair share. No com-

It would be respectful to every-

Of the 10 guys that play I see
two of them at places other than

wouldn't know what else to say to

attitude. I feel John diwsn't respect

company, it" always a pleasure. "
My colleague was not as polite and did not offer any-
thing lo my friend the driver, someone they do not
know well, even though he was still kind enough to
bring them along. That shouldn't happen.
The day after the li ip, I knew my friend was working
for an extended length of time and couldn't leave to
grab lunch So I took il upon myself to grab lunch for
the both of us and eat with him just to show I appreci-
ated his kindne"s to myself and my colleague.
II was a re"pecl thing I felt I should do. I knew he
wa" sincere when he said I didn't have to give gas
money. He is a giving person and sometimes he can be
taken advantage of by stmic people, as I felt my col-
league had done. I wanted to make sure he knew I
acknowledged his generosity.
Il was ju"t a matter of principle.

Whitmore storms Goodell
Hussein
Ibish
In the wee hours of morning, amidst the pattering of
dew and the first notes of bird song, the armies thun-
der forth from Ca"tle Whitmore.
Led by David "Braveheart" Scott, the Clan of Deans
storm the fortress o\ GiKxlell. seeking the legendary trea-
sure of the Grant". The war. begun last year with the
Massacre of Conti on the fields of Glen Gordon, enters its
final stages.
Fred "Lord" Byron and Tom "Kdward C." Robinson
langui"h deep in the dungeon, their neck" shaved for the
bkvk. their sleepless nights serenaded by the sharpening
of the great axe. \ iking culture is back with a vengeance.
The Propo"al of the Council of .Academic
Deans for Campu" Re"tructuring. dated
Oct. 25. I*)'J5. signals the final round in
the battle of Whitmore to seize control of
the independent Graduate Schiwl structure
centered in GiKKlell. Il i" nothing les" than
an attempted coup d'etat at L'Mass.
Whitmore has jealously coveted control of graduate
education, especially the grant money it generates.
Chancellor Scott in particular has seen the expansion of
Whitmore'" _pt)wer over the Graduate School a" a central
plank in ihe kiiar^Qlo consolidate^ own portion.
Last year Scott MW Whitmore were able to make con-
siderable headway by i^emoving Sam Conti and splitting
his position. Vice Chancelli>r for Research and
Development and Graduate Dean, into two separate jobs
Now the Deans proposal, under Scott's guidance, seek"
to eliminate the position of V. C. for Research and
Development altogether and instead consolidate power
over research in Whitmore under the Provost. The most
telling passage of the proposal refers to the restructuring
as "internal discipline." a refreshingly frank admission.
Selective assassination gives way to full scale invasion
with this proposal, a move no doubt ivcasioned by the cur-
rent vacuum of leadership, not only on campus, but more
importantly vvith the predictable defcvtion of criK>k HiKiker.
Fears of a faculty uprising are currently attenuated by a
belief that without a UMass System President, the
Chancellor can withstand a series of no confidence
motions and other protests. Besides, the faculty have
proven their abject spinelessnejs on numerous recent
cvcasions.
Thus it is certain senior members of the Grad Council
spent a desperate afternoon recently, huddled in the iso-
lated Newman Center, fearfully plotting in hushed tones
In fact, one of the worst aspects of this entire affair i"
the secrecy in which il has been shrouded The primary
characteristic of this "top secret" plot ha" been the desire
to conceal it. mainly from departmental chairs, graduate
program directors and faculty. Only one or two principled
administrators have recognized the campus requires
Clasnosl as well as Perestroika. The apparatchiks prefer
secret business as usual.
In truth, though, the proposal is a mixed bag. Other
than the annexation of the Grad School, it also seeks to
eliminate the Vice-Chancellorship for
Student Affairs
Good idea or not. if it means the
removal of the right wing incompetent
Tom Robinson, it is still worth doing. Off
with his head! It is delightful to read the
Deans salivating over the spoils of his sacked responsibili-
ties, such as housing, like Genghis Khan tossing plunder
to the trcK)ps.
But separating the good and bad parts of the propoMl
will be impossible if the debate continues to be restricted
to a tiny Whitmore cabal. Scott"« pafsion for secrecy is
self destructive, as amply demonstrated by the
"Despicable Speakers Policy" fiasco.
Here's how it adds up at this stage, though. "The big
winners include the Provo"l. Pat Crosson. who now
becomes something of a living god; the Chancellor and hi"
Deputy who will have expunged both institutional and
ideological rivals; the Academic Deans, who gain greater
control over departments and faculty and the V. C. for
Administration; and Finance. Paul Page, who gets lots of
Tom's booty
The big lo"ers include Bvron and Robinson, both of
whom are written out of existence. Research-oriented fac-
ulty and departments who"e independence and academic
freedom, such as it is. will be mortgaged to Whitmore —
and the occupied territory of the Graduate School.
If, in light of this exposed plot, the Faculty Senate meet
ing this afiemcxin does not erupt, then little should stand
in the way of the armies of Bt)nnie Prince Davey.
Robinson is robbed! Bye-bye Byron! Delenda est
Goodell! Whitmore excelsior! All hail King David!

Football drivers
out of control
To the Fdilur:
Last week, while I was driving my
friend and her 4 year old son to
Grass RiK>ts (the UMass Child Care
Facility), we all had the misfortune
of driving close to the football stadi-
um at the time when the UMass foot-
ball team was holding practice ses-
sions at the stadium. What docs the
fcK)tball team's practice session have
to do vvith three people driving to a
child care center, you ask? Basically,
afier our experience that day, I have
come to conclude thai it means life
or death, ours, that is.
That fine fall day. as we took the
turn off from the University drive
unto the Stadium drive, a shiny
brand new red jeep zoomed by us at
a speed of over 40 miles per hour.
As we tcKik the turn towards the day
care facility, yet another red shiny
jeep and a shiny red car zoomed by
us from the opposite side (never
mind the newly installed speed
breaker al the stadium PVTA stop)
and took a wild turn towards the sta-
dium's parking lot.
What's wrong with this whole sce-
nario? First, all three vehicles, which
belonged to. and were full of UMass
f(X)tball players, were all driving at a
speed which was at least triple the
posted speed limit of 1 5 mph in that
zone. Second, one jeep over took our
slow car "by crossing over the solid
line and driving in the wrong lane in
the narrow U- shaped road. Third,
the {)ther two vehicles never both-
ered to slow down at the speed
breakers and jumped high into the
air before settling on the ground
again.
I wouldn't even want lo comment
on the screaming absurdities and
yelling emanating from those vehi-
cles. Fourth, all this foolish behavior
was displayed in close proximity to a
child care tacility.
Why didn't we have the time to jot
down their license plates, you won-
der? I guess at the speeds they were
driving, it was a choice between
making sure they don't crash into us
or jotting down the plate numbers
Call me crazy, but I chose the first,
more conservative, option.
UMass football coach Mike
Hodges, might have taught his play
ers how to win on the fcK)lball field,
but the players have failed to learn
how to win in the field of life. 1 can
see with clarity why UMass's run-
ning game is so good and reliable. I
can see Rene Ingolia and Frank
Alessio going through their practice
sessions, trying to avoid being hit by
vehicles driven by their teammates.
That day, those few reckless imbe-
ciles broke several traffic laws, but
more importantly, they chose to
break those laws in a zone where lit-
tle children, have their school. Call
me insane, but 1 think that people
would take extra precautions and
drive extra slow in children prone
areas.
Sorry UMass Minutemen. but you
lost the respect of three of your
biggest fans that day. including that
of a four-year- old boy who was ter-
ror stuck at the reckless driving. If
you cannot respect life and you
expect respect from fans for playing
football. I think you have your prior
ities mixed up. You might have yet
another touchdown in a football
game, but in life you'll be left punt-
ing.

Amherst
Students help make
fundraiser work
To the Kditor:
On behalf of Amherst Friends for
the Homeless. I am writing to extend
a heart felt thank you to the 98 vol-
unteers from UMass that participat-
ed in the 7th annual "Shelter
Sunday" on Oct. 29.
"Shelter Sunday" is our annual
canvas of Amherst homes, asking for
a $1 or greater contribution to help
the homeless and hungry in our
midst. The proceeds are shared
equally by Amherst's Survival
Center. Not Bread Alone, the
Amherst Charitable Fund and
Northampton's Grove Street Inn. In
the past, we have raised from
$1 2.000 lo $1 5.000 in an afternoon,
with 100 to 1 50 volunteers.
This year, we had a record number
of 265 volunteers — UMass students
alone numbered close to 100. To
their credit. 68 fraternity members
and 20 members of the Boltwood
Project were responsible for^this
huge effort. As a UMass Alum, I am
humbled to say that my prejudiced
view of "partying frat boys majoring
in pick-up lines and keg parties" is
forever changed. 1 would gladly
accept an invitation to dinner.
All UMass students and Alumni
can be proud of the commitment to
service that these students embixly,
all the more impressive when com-
pared to the two volunteers from
Amherst College and four volunteers
from Hampshire College.
Proceeds from this year's "Shelter
Sunday" are close to 11,000 and
more is expected to be received from
contributions in the mail. Don't let
your sophisticated cynicism diminish
the very real fact that one person can
make a difference, and on "Shelter
Sunday." three hours of your lime
can have tremendous meaning.
We will be back recruiting vol-
unteers next year: look for us at the
Volunteer Fair in September.
Regrettably, the need for the funds
we raise is greater than ever, and
as long as the need exists, so will
we.

LEARNING
FROM
PAST
FAUX PAS
1 used to laugh thinking back to
my junior high years. Back then,
Foxmore. along with Gps 'n'
Downs, were the stores of choice
for my girlfnends and I because a
pastel wardrobe was just as essen-
tial as a curling iron and hair
spray. Seeing myself then, I think
of how young and foolish I was.
Today I know better. I know that
no woman looks good in pastels.
Except for a Claudia Schiffer, but
of course she looks gorgeous in
anything — must be rough,
I was
recently
reminded of
my child-
hood fash-
ion faux pas
during a visit to the newly-expand-
ed Ingleside Mall. Out of the comer
of my eye 1 caught a flash of mint
green. I tried to assure myself that
what I saw was simply a figment of
my imagination, but 1 actually
found myself standing in front of a
rack of angora sweaters in not only
mint green, but also pink, lavender
pale blue and yellow.
The following day I actually saw
a woman on campus wearing one
of them. And then it hit me — sad
but true, pastels are making a
comeback.

nitely won't surctffnb to and I urge
you not to either. Few people can
carry off pastel» without looking
overiy childish or helplessly '80»,
For those of you who might oth-
erwise be a bit too hasty in lending
your black wardrobes off to the
good-will — hold on. Black and
white have only taken a temporary
back seat to the color of Easter,
Designers declare it the best new
no- color scheme and extremely
versatile. They sharpen pastels,
give bright hues breathing room
and can create a definite boarder
or a snappy trim on anything from
a dress to a trench coat.
Off-white, ivory and camel are
all showing up in the new winter
lines. Designers from Calvin Klein
to Chanel are putting out their own
version of the man's classic camel
trench coat. Another color that is
beginning to oust black is dark
brown.
Now don't despair if you haven't
the budget to run out and buy an
entire new a wardrobe. Why not
start with a tiny purchase? Try a
little brown eyeliner or get rid of
that tired shade of red lipstick and
pick up one of the new brown

Trying to define style
tara mk
Turn to MALONEY. page 10
What is style? Designers and fashion
ccnmoisseurs have been trying to define it
and create It for years, is it the way a skirt
brushes just so on the knee? Is it the drape
of fabric across the collarixsne or the glide
of silk and a swish of a hem?
Style has more often then not
been boringly defined as a type
of mannerism or dress. But I
think it's safe to say that for
today's fashion word, it goes
beyond Just throwing together an outfit or
some semblance of one.
Style is not only clothes or mannerism,
but a combination of both. It's attitude,
sass, a willingness to shun conventionalism
and be yourself.
It is most definitely the curve of a neck,
the crook of a elbow. It's sexy and sexual
— coy but never cloying and it most cer-
tainly is bold, but never brassy.
High pre-requesits for some, basic
instincts for others. Who had this inane
ability to inspire designers and make mere
mortals quiver in Jealousy? The most obvi-
ous were the late and great Jackie O and
Audrey Hepburn. Who else could look so
good with a small Iwx-shaped hat perched
on a modest beehive? Or don pedal < None »
pushers and a sleeveless sweater managing
to look cool and collected rather than
frumpy and modest. These two women
were pioneers in the fashion industry. Their
clothes and tastes have tran-
scended time. They had class.
Today's leaders of the fash-
ion world ask for nothing less
than that desired state of per-
fection. They all aspire for that
classic look that will make them a member
of the fashion hall of fame. They all want
their pill box hat and pedal pushers.
Time and again we see the reversion back
to the basics. Flashy vinyl and glittering
metallics may reign supreme on the cat
walks but it is the well-tailored suit, the
tweed jacket and the solid thump of a square
heel that today's buyers are looking into.
This winter's style asks for nothing more
and nothing less than that. It aspires to the
basics, it clings to the inspirational and in
essence, makes you realize that without
self- confidence and panache even the
most Illusive and flattering creation can
look as dull and lifeless as pK>tato sacking.
Tara MK Connelly Is a Collegian colunvilsL
trends, where it all
haute couture (high fash
ers. Months before the latest
trickles down to us, the con-
ler, designers are frantically putting
ogether their newest lines and collec-
tions.
The process of presenting
a line starts with an idea — a
hot new color, a raised or
lowered hemline, a revival of
an old era. Imagine chic
designers huddling around Paris, Milan
and New York City, with their caf* lattes
and hopeful models. All are searching
for the newest look to put in the fashions
shows which have become outrageous
extravaganzas.
To Buy or Not to Buy
The clothes on the runway sometimes
barely resemble the apparel we find in
department stores and at local retailers.
As stated in the New Yorker's fashion
feature last November, "A fashion show
is not a practical guide: you are not sup-
posed to wear that multicolored stretch
dress in nylon, cotton and Lycra, even if
you wanted to wear it. And if you did
buy it could you ease it on like a five
foot condom, as (model) Kristen
McMenamy does? What would happen if
your dog started to pull it from the other
end?"
Yet, these shows continue in all their
glory, fueled by the ultra rich and glam
orous people who buy into the bull, or
rather the lavish, luxurious lifestyle.
So how do designers start the process
of showing their collections? Until they
are among the elite, the couture design-
ers must find wealthy financial backers
and the suppwrt of the media to "make"
them. The collections are designed for a
specific season, based on projections for
the coming trends.
In fashion time, these clothes must be
designed and shown months ahead of
the actual season; many times it is a
guessing game of what will be "in' for
that season. Especially when trends
seem to move faster than you ran buy
them, or even know atxiut them here in
Massachusetts.
According to Fashion, by Mary Wolfe,
the haute couture fashion houses pre-
sent two major showings of
their collections a year They
are the Fall-Winter showings
(held the preceding July)
and the Spring-Summer
showings (held in the pre
ceding January.) Each design is made
to the exact measurements of the model
showing it and about 75 original outfits
are presented by the designer.
The show must go on
Every show usually has a theme, car-
ried out through the clothes, music,
accessories, hair and make-up, all
reflecting the designers image The cost
to produce the shows is enormous, tak-
ing into consideration all the detail and
behind the scenes work
But who is actually running off to Paris
to see (or be seen at) these masquer-
ades of fashion? If you can catch a
glimpse at the gleaming audience during
MTV's "House of Style," or in magazine
photos, you'll see that it is mainly the
press eager to get the best seat possible,
or spot a run in Linda Evangelista's
stockings. Aside from the media circus,
others in attendance are wealthy private
customers, commercial buyers (buyers
represent retailers and manufacturers)
and a handful of movie stars.
What the elite have seen glistening
down the runway for this Winter is an
array of fantastic color From icy pastels
to fierce brights one can see the return
of glamour and luxury.

If you were amongst the crowd at Hampshire
College it would be difficult not to be a convert.
While most of the world was out trick-or-treat-

fantastic show that most audience members will
never forget. Featuring ex- members of the leg-

offer a new more soulful twist to punk rock.
The band's music plays stvond Ikklle to the crazy
stage antics of the lead singer who acts like a hyper

Throughout the set. the lead singer was throwing
himself to the ground, touching audience members,
jumping onto the drum set and just going crazy From

Abort ion
In 1975. a woman bled to death in a motel room
from a horribly bolchc-d abortion performed by her
lover. The frightening picture of the woman, naked
on the floor, was published in Ms. magazine and
became the rallying point for abortion rights
activists.
On Nov. 5. PBS will present a new movie about
the dead woman who finally gets a name - -
Geraldine (Gerri) Twerdy Santor. The film, which
is part of the documentary series "P.O.V.," is titled
"Leona's Sister Gerri."
The movie features not only interviews with
Santor's daughters, but also her best friend and her
sister. Lcvna. ll will also look at the cireumstances
surrounding and leading up lo Santor's deaths and
will examine both sides of the abortion issue.
In addition, "P.O.V." will air follow-up shows
which will invite viewers' reactions about the
movie.

Quartet returning to dazzle FAC
By Matt Sinclair
CoHagion Correspondent
Nov. 5 marks a special day on the
Fine Arts Center calendar as the
all-female Lark Quartet returns to
the University of Massachusetts for
what will undoubtedly be an
awe-inspiring performance.
One of the highlights will be the
world premiere of the FAC commis-
sioned piece by Bulgarian composer
Penka Kouncva — this new
three-movement piece entitled
"String Quartet" will be performed
ak)ngside the more traditional reper-
toire, including interpretations of
works by contemporary composers
such as lay Kernis. Peter Schickele.
John Deak, Libby Larsen and
Shulamit Ran.
More recent additions to their
repertoire include the likes of Amy
Beach and Gideon Klein (whose
music faced repression under the
Third Reich of Nazi Germany). These
latter additions were most recentK
performed at the 1994 Holstein
Musik Festival.
The Lark is back to help the Fine
Arts Center celebrate its 20lh
anniversary and they bring with them
an accolade of musical recognition.
Their pedigree includes such achieve-
ments as the winning of the gold
medal in the 1991 Shostakovich
International String Quartet
Competition in St. Petersburg. Russia
and the highly-prized 1990
Naumberg Chamber Music Award in
New York.
In Australia, they cleaned up the
top prizes in the 1991 Melbourne
International Chamber Music
Competition. Also, in Europe, they
have won the London Internaiional
Competition of Great Britain, the
Paolo Borciani Competition in
Regglo Emilia. Italy and the Karl
Klinger Competition in Munich,
Germany.
One of the most important elements
that also helped win over audiences is

aitHJm earlier this year. Elastica have
been tt>e buzz of the music world as
they dominated the airwaves and
MTV with hits like "Stutter' and
"Connection" which were named by
the Los Angeles Times as the two
best rock songs of the year. Elastica
first big American exposure came
this summer as they toured alx>ard
the Lollapolloza festival.
Much like their American male
peers Green Day. Elaslica's music
iMrrvws (if not virtually steals from)
several punk ttands from the laic '7t)s
and '8Us such as the Buzzcocks. Wire
and the Stranglers. Although the
songs have a familiar feel to them.
the band has the ability to write
sweet, catchy punk tunes that offer a
breath of fresh air amongst ihc
mediocre sounds of today's guitar
driven alternative rock scene.
Their detxjt album simply entilk-d.
Elastica. contains 16 short punky fun
tunes that will keep your head bot>-
bing and your toes tapping. They are
filled with enough punch and pop lo
knock you out Many critics rank
Elastica as one of the most impressive
debut albums of the year. Even
Seventeen enjoyed it. "These days.
some Brit bands are cool, many aren't.
Fik Elastica under the former.*
Elastica formed late in 1992 after
lustine Frischmann left Suede before
the band hit it big. Wishing to form
her own band she ran an ad in
Melody Maker, a popular British
weekly music newspaper, looking for
a guitarist into Wire, the Stranglers
and the Fall. Before the band even
played their first gig. the British
music press was hyping Elastic as the
next big thing. Unlike most press
faves. Elaslica's fame has lasted
much longer than a week on the
cover of Melody Maker or New
Musical Express.
This Saturday's show is part of their
third American tour within the past
year, an unprecedented amount of
louring for a British tiand considering
the fact that the Stone Roses have
loured the States oiKe in the last seven
years. If their previous live shows are
any irwlicaibn. this is oik performance
you will not want to miss.

Take a trip back to Our Town
By Seema Gangatirior
Collegian Staff
Thf University of Massachusctis
will present Our Town, the classic
play about life by famous American
playwright, Thornton Wilder. The
play will be featured at the Rand
Theater in the Fine Arts Center on
No\ : 4. 8 1 I and 17-18 at 8
p.ni
The drama, directed by
award-winning Edward Golden,
examines the fleeting and often
unpredictable passage of time that
defines a human life.
Golden offers a probing view
into W'ilder's script, taking a close
and intimate look into the affairs
of people who live out their lives
in the small New England town of
Grower's Corner. The experiences
shared bv the townspeople is a
microcosm of the sometimes
touching, always interesting ways
in which people in a community
interact when they know one
another over a long period of
time.
The story revolves around two
families who live next door to each
other, the Webbs and the Gibbs.
The plot follows the two families as
their lives weave in and out intri-
cately. Ultimately Emily Webb
marries Geoi^e Gibb. After Emily's
death, she looks back at her life
and takes a deep look at what was
and what will be.
Our Town is about growing up
and the endless quest for identity.
Reflective and thought provoking,
the play traditionally borders on
sticky sentimentality.
Golden has taken a different
approach to the play. His version
searches out the hard truth of the
characters' behavior and thereby
avoids any of the usual sugary
sweet mentality so often associated
with the play.
The cast of more than twenty
includes Skid Maher as Doctor
Gibbs. Mary McCue as Mrs. Gibbs
and Ken Ward as George Gibbs.
Mrs. Webb is played by UMass
Associate Professor lulie Nelson,
Editor Webb by Marly .Nordcn and
their daughter Emily by Deirdre
O'Keefe.
The set design is created by Troy
Hourie with lighting design by
Kathe De Vault and costume
design by June Gaeke.
Tickeli are St> general: S3. 50 for
iludenis and seniors. Advance pur-
chase of tickets is recommended.

Powder misrepresents real issues
By Laura Stock
Coliegion Staff
The popular American play Our Town will be shown at the Fine Arts Center.
■» ■ ^ -<fidtifffjiifn»t*Am ^ » ' *
POWDER
Directed by Victor Salva
with Mary Steenborgen, Jeff Coldblum, Seon Patrick
Flonnery
Playir)g at Mf Forms Four
Powder is the tale of discrimination against someone
because his skin is too white.
Diagnosed with albinism at his tragic birth, newborn
Powder is rejected by his father who, grieving the coinci-
dental loss of his wife, cries. 'That's not my son." Left to
be raised by his grandparents. Powder is kept in the seclu-
sion of a farmhouse basement, away from the society
which will soon condemn him.
We find teen-aged Powder in the shadowy cellar
amongst piles and piles of books after the death of his
grandparents. lessie Caldwell, the head of a school for
troubled youths (played by Mary Steenburgen), is called
in by the town's sheriff, Bamum (Lance Hcnriksen) to
talk the boy out of his isolation and into school.
Powder's experiences at school reveal the boy to be a
genius, as he scores off the charts of an I.Q. test and can
memorize the text of every book put in front of him. Bug-
eyed leff Goldblum plays the wacky science teacher who
is convinced that Powder's body is essentially a lightening
rod and his brain is composed of sheer energy.
Powder's strange powers, such as utilizing his energy to
make everyone's silverware in the cafeteria fly across the
room and stick together in a floating mass, or make a
cold- hearted deer hunter feel the pain of death by touch-
ing the hunter with one hand and the deer with the other,
gain him more ridicule than approbation. Shocking as
they may be. Powder's antics with electricity fail to inject
the same energy into this drab film.
Sean Patrick Flannery 's Powder is so perceptive, he can
understand and actually accepts why he is discriminated
against by both his peers and the adults in town. He is dif-
ferent, so he is feared — no leapis or bounds in the surface
issues of this plot. His solution is to run back to the sanc-
tity of the farmhouse, which he can not inhabit because it
has been seized by the bank.
Apparently. Powder's option to run rather than face the
town's rejection is supposed to be estimable, because he is
intellectually and spiritually above them. Powder is looked
u|x>n as an angel, sent to these callous people to try to
change the way they look at the world. He does enlighten
a handful of people, but the overall fcvling the film gener-
ates is one of sappy insincerity.
Questions can be made about the representation of
albinos in Powder. The film plays off people's ignorance
towards albinism, but does little to explain anything about
the disease itself, thus propelling the stereotypes further.
By portraying Powder as an alien, almost E.T.-like being,
the film dehumanizes a very real disease.
Another controversy circulating is the fact that writer/
director Victor Salva — a convicted child molester —
made the PG-13 film for Hollywood Pictures, which is
associated with Walt Disney/ MGM Pictures. Carrying
this prejudgment into the theater, several interpretations
regarding Powder's ostracism and abuse have been taint-
ed, perhaps justifiably so. The bullies in the film don't
beat him up — they sexually and physically humiliate him
by stripping his clothes off and taunting him.
Powder lacks the seriousness and sensitivity a film
about discrimination and ostracism requires. It is difficult
to sympathize with a victim who doesn't regard himself as
such, and equally as challenging to enjoy a film which
cannot break through surface issues and get to the heart
of the matter. C

There are few finer pleasures in life

night at the Iron Horse was a prime
example as Bela Fleck and the
Recktones put on a fantastic display
of fusion jazz featuring a banjo, a
SynthAxe Drumilar. outrageous
bass-playing and a special guest on
wind instruments, Paul McCandless.
If you have ever wanted to see an
incredible instrumental jazz show,
you just missed an opportunity.
Adorning festive Halloween masks,
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones non-
chalantly walked right past a few
people who were still waiting to get
into the packed club to lake the
stage. Their masks stayed on during
the opener. "Vix 9,' which led into
"Backwoods Galaxy,' both excellent
previews of the night to come. As a

Film festival to be held in Northhampton
By Laura Stock
Collegiofi Staff
This weekend Northampton vrill celebrate the art
and craft of film and video in its first-ever film fes-
tival.
It sounds surprising that Northampton — the
Valley's definitive haven for the arts — has never
been host to a film festival. Thanks to
Northampton Film Associates and the
Northampton Center for the Arts, history will
change.
Howard Polonsky, who founded Northampton
Film Associates along with his wife Dec DeGeiso.
and one of the head coordinators of the Festival,
said he could noi think of a more ideal place than
Noho and wondered why it had not been done
before.
'Our ultimate goal (in creating the Festival) is
twofold. We want to slww the films of independent
filmmakers as well as have people who don't often
go to see independent films view them," said
Polonsky. "We also will add an educational compo-
nem by having panel discussions with filmmakers
and writers after each screening.'
The Festival will begin tomorrow night at 6 p.m.
with an opening reception at the Words & Pictures
Museum. Special gueM Frederick Marx, one of ihe
makers of Hoop Dreams will discuss the making
of the documentary, show uui-iakes from Hoop
Dreams, and present a .screening of his Emmy
nominated film. Higher Goals
From a submission pool of over 90 films, 22
were selected by the committee lo be presented in
various locations Saturday and Sunday. Four local
filmmakers were also invited to display their cre-
ations.

subtle changes make all the differences.
Remember those tight sweaters with the big
stripe across the chest that Greg Brady used to
wear? With Retro in, these tiny bits of wool and
cotton are back big time. The style first started
with the ski slopes — it's snug fit was supposed
to ensure warmth without the bulk. Now it is
part of the new ski-wear inspired line that is
anything but cool. The look revolved around the
concept of sleek, aerodynamic shapes and
vibrant colors.
High-tech fabrics which allow for the warmth
without looking like you were going sledding at
age five are guaranteed to keep you warm and
dry even out here in Westem Massachusetts.
The nylon jacket (favored by snowboarders
and skiers alike) have been taken off the slop>es
and onto the runways. Found in a barrage of
colors from "look at me" neon to sparkley shiny
metallics. the emphasis is on shiny versus
matte. Since one of the key ideas this season is
contrasting flat with shine, pairing these jackets
with a cable knit sweater shows savvy fashktn
sense.
Everytime I pass Zanna on North Pleasant
Street, I see the same pair of black leather
knee-length boots sitting in the window. They
call to me. They draw me inside. The other day
they even tricked me into trying them on.
"Mod" inspired these boots are a perfect exam-
ple of the other big buzz word in the industry
that hasn't been able to die off.
I couldn't actually advise striding around
campus comfortably in them, but at least you'd
look chic. Go-go boots, rib-hugging turtle-
necks, hip>-hugging mini-skirts and chain-link
belts are all part of this look. Be care not to go
overboard — like the pastels, this look is not for
everyone.
Also bringing to mind traces of nostalgia are
this season's tweeds. Rugged and a little bit
rough, they have a 'QOs sensibility. No longer
strict and formal, they have become more out-
doorsy and casual. Traditionally considered the
opposite of young and sexy, it's now being used
in shapes very skinny and close to the body.
Like the new ski-wear line, tweed is also very
warm, making it a stylish and practical choice.
The best thing about tfiis season's trends and
looks is the fact that one doesn't necessarily
need a lot of money to get the desired look. All
you really need to know is where to look and
what to look for.
The tight-fitting sweaters, the classic tweeds
and plaids, mini-skirts and turtlenecks can all be
found at low prices in second-hand stores and
vintage shops thought the area. All you need is
some vision and a little touch of creativity.

inirigue and wackincss. Viewers were tempted with a
wild Halloween party at Shooters. Instead it turns out
that the only big party there involved Amanda getting
drunk and Peter carrying her off.
The entire episode reeked of predictability, from
Brooke and her pregnancy power trip to |o and |ake
having yet another misunderstanding. Why do they
even bother to get together? Even the Matt and
Michael incident with the grades didn't phase me nor
the fact that Shooters is now having a dance night,
■^'ou see. people have seen these plots before — when
they were on "90210." And doesn't anyone else feel
like heaving when Aliion starts sucking face with
Hailey?
"Melrose" is beginning to sink fast if they have to
recycle plot lines from the Beverly Hills brats. If Stan-
wants to keep up the ratings he's going to have to get
belter writers
On "Partners." hilarity ensued with Bob ending up
at a party with two dates. The plot revolved around
Owen and Alicia trying to convince everyone how
much Halloween bit the big one.
The only truly amusing part was when this little
round .Asian boy shows up at their door in a bowling
shin and glasses. When asked what his costume is he
replies. "I'm Chandler from "Friends'" Another mildly
funny pan was when the hapless couple were forced to
give out canned goods and magazines in lieu of candy
because they ran out of the good stuff.
In "Ned & Slacey" it seems as if the writers were
scrapf)ed for ideas and used a lot of the same gag lines
as "Partners." There was the person who hated
Halloween (Stacey), the person that was into it (Ned)
and of course, thev didn't have any candy. Familiar,
huh?
The only highlight of the show was when Ned and
Stacey end up making out unknowingly (think cos-
tumes and mistaken identities), but fortunately the
writers were awake enough to not let this blossoming
attraction ruin the show (remember "Moonlighting?").
They killed it before it can go on. thus ensuring view-
ers continuing attention.
The highlight of the entire Halloween hoopla (with
the exception of the "90210" love potion thing, which
thankfully wasn't available for this column) was the
"Simpsons" which involved Homer going into a tech-
no 3-D type woHd and saying, "Wow. It looks expen-
sive in here." Of course there were the reruns of
Homer and the time- traveling toaster and "The
Shinnin'," but it was the "Simpsons," which is consis-
tently funny and always good.

Deneuve, (from the film Belle de
Jour). Classic elegance with black
and white silks and close knit
dresses, with strong jewels to com-
plete the visage. This month's Elle
also spotlights mod floral prints;
with inspiration from Andy
Warhols brightly colored silk
screens. These looks are accented
by model's toting around tiny
handbags in vinyl, leather and
metallic materials.
To counter these dramatic looks
is a westem appeal seen in jeans
and leather worn loose and casual.
Along with an assortment of resort
ensembles in whites and pastels,
for all of us skipping off to tropical
islands this winter.
It is difficult to scratch the sur-
face of what is hot now, with the
saturation of designers all trying to
stand out from the rest. One
French designer who has success-
fully made his mark with the sea-
sons strangest take, is Jean-Paul
Gaultier, featured in Top Model
magazine this month. His runway
show tagged as "the weirdest show
on earth," with a cast of not only
models but rock stars, Hollywood
faces and even grandmothers. His
peculiar creations have a futuristic,
punk look bordering on freakish
Gaultier has put together an
eclectic collection of leather, latex,
satin and metal — ranging from
coats and dresses to second skin
bodysuits and plenty of fishnet
stockings. The designer distinctly
crosses sexuality with the bizarre
and pulls it off perfectly; leaving us
with eccentric, unforgettable
images.
Now we are left standing in our
closets scratching out heads trying
to make something of the piles of
flannels and jeans. After these ele-
gant and outrageous looks have
been adapted to fashions that filter
into our wardrobe. The best
approach is to take one key style
or image from these designers, to
encompass the full view of the sea-
son and trends.

NEW '\'ORK — According to Diana V'reeland. fashion
editor extraordinaire, bad taste wasn't so awful It was
having no taste at all that truly was abhorrent.
\reeland was a woman of definite opinions, and those
opinions are proclaimed with fearless abandon in Full
Gallop, a hilarious one-woman show starring Mary Louise
Wilson as New York's grandest style maven The pruduc-
tion currently is on view off-Broadway at Manhattan
Theater Club's Stage II.
Listen to her bark "God! I miss fringe!" and her insis-
tent enthusiasm will have you ready to redo the slipcovers.
The play, actually more of an extended character sketch,
was co-authored by Wilson and Mark Hampton. So it's not
surprising that it is eminently actable, a real workout for
the actress who seizes its wit with considerable flair.
V'reeland, who died in 1989, was not an ordinary
woman. "As loan Crawford once said. 'If you want the
girl next door — go next door."' cackles Vreeland,
between puffs on a perpetually lighted Lucky Strike.
The woman was a trend-spotter and a trendsetter.
"Give them what they never knew they wanted." she says.
And as editor of Vogue, the fashion magazine. Vreelari^l
was in a position to do so. ' ' "

cial for Chui. it was where the festival took place.
For her senior year of high school, Chui lived in
Colorado Springs. Dedicating herself completely to
improving her game, Chui studied and trained on site at
the U.S. Olympic Training Center. The Olympic Festival
was a homecoming of sorts.
"I really enjoyed this year's festival because I got to go
back to Colorado," she said. "There are a lot of memories
for me there, a lot of people I hadn't seen in a long time.
Winning medals is terrific, but it was extra special to com-
pete in Colorado Springs."
Chui's competition experience is not limited to the
Olympic Festival, as she has competed in the lunior
Olympics, the U.S. Open, the U.S. Nationals and the
College Nationals.
After taking the gold in the 1991 lunior Olympics.
Chui added to her trophy case by winning the College
Nationals in 1993 and 1994.
"For me. every competition is special. It's great to get out
there and play." Chui said. 'I like playing the national level
competition, but it makes me work to improve my game."
Currently. Chui is ranked among the lop It) nationally
in table tennis. Rankings in table tennis are based on a
point system for each tuumament. With each luumament
carrying a weight of one to 50 points, playing national
tournaments can affect rankings dramatically. With a
points total estimated in the high 2.100s. Chui currently
ranks sixth in the nation for her sport.
Chui will take those points and her ranking to sc*veral
tournaments later in the season. First up is U.S. Nationals
in Las Vegas, which will be held in December. Chui will
then kwk to make the I99t> Olympic team, when the trials
are held next March in Michigan. Firtally. April will bring
about the College Natbnals, at a site to be announced later.
"I'm kxiking forward to the Nationals, both U.S. and
College. They are always a lot of fun," Chui said. "But the
Olympic Trials will be special. If I train really hard there
is the chance that I will be invited. But there's also Sydney
(2000 GamesI down the road."
Chui is not sure what the future -holds in store for her,
only that she wants to continue playing fur as long as she
is able.
"It's hard for me to say what I'm going to be doing
down the road." Chui said. "1 want lo play until I can't. 1
would like to be able to teach more people about the
sport, to involve more people.
"A big part of my life is table tennis. I k)ve this sport.
It's in my blood and it always will be."

Strug^ing Patriots sign Wagner
By Howard Uknan
Auocialed Press
FOXBORO, Mass. - The New
England Patriots, desperate for
punting help, have rehired a jour-
neyman who drilled his last kick
lor them into a teammate's back-
side four years ago.
"I just want to say tnat was not
my fault." a smiling Bryan
Wagner tried to explain
Wednesday.
Wagner has played for or tried
out with 10 teams since 1985. He
never lasted more than two sea-
sons with any of them. Yet he set
a Super Bowl record for punting
average with San Diego last sea-
son and had a decent training
camp last summer with the New
York lets.
So the Patriots, eager to replace
struggling Pat O'Neill, gave
Wagner the job Tuesday without
even a tryout and cut O'Neill.
New England coach Bill Parcells
said Wagner was the only experi-
enced punter available.
Wagner, )5, tried out with
four teams before finally catch-
ing on with Chicago in 1987
He spent two years with the
Bears, two with Cleveland and
joined the Patriots in 1991. He
lasted just three games and was
cut after his final punt, from
the end zone, struck blocker
Eugene Lockhart's rear. Ernie
Mills fell on it for a touchdown
with ^:18 left in a 20-6
Pittsburgh victory.
"My claim to fame after this
happened is I made that sports
bloopers." Wagner said. "The
ball was on the one-foot line and
he (Lockhart) basically backed
up into me ... I'd like to forget
that."
He averaged '59. 1 gross yards
and 29 I net yards in 14 punts
with the Patriots. He found work
the next two seasons with Green
Bay and had a career-high 42.9-
yard average in 1993. Hut the
Packers gave the job to Craig
Hentrich in 1994 and Wagner
endcti up with the Chargers
He had a good season, then
became a tree agent. He kept
working out after failing lo win a
job with the lets and noticed
about a month ago that O'Neill
wus struggling. The Patriuls ton-
lacicd his agent about three weeks
ago. then talked wilh him Monday
morning, he said.
"It's lough circumstances to
come in for a guy in a slump,"
Wagner said, "but three of the last
lour years I've done ihat. I've
come in for a guy that's not done
very well or was hurt I gues> you
can call me a janitor. I'm just a
mopupguv."
O'Neill also handled kickoffs.
Wagner's potential lo do Ihat is
one reason the Patriots signed
him. ParcelK said, although field
goal kicker Malt Bahr might lake
over ihat job.

Lile is just totally tough.
It's a bear.
I meet my ex-girlfriend and she
says, "How are you?"
I say. "Fine." Actually. I felt so
nervous and upset to see her that
'Fine" described the tiny particles my
brain had broken into when I saw her.
She was stading there lookmg
fragile, lovely, hair by Warner Bros., lips
by Renoir, and gentle vocals by Lee
Remick.
I said, 'How are you?"
She started to cry.
That made me feel much
better.

Its
Dion's making saves for UMass
By Gmdke Flamming
Collegian Staff
UIMASS MiDU mutnoNs
Sophomore goalkeeper Danielle Dion has given up just 1 1 goals (0.67
goals-against-average) while making 67 saves for the 11-3-2
Minutewomen
When the casual observer takes a
luuk at the Massachusetts women's
soccer team in action, it's easy to
overlook goalkeeper Danielle Dion.
The sophomore plays behind Nikki
Ahrenholz. Krin Lynch, Erica Iverson
and Amanda Thompson, who togeth-
er form one of the best defenses in
the country. With that outstanding
defense in front of her, she doesn't
get tested much.
But Dion shouldn't get over-
looked. The 1994 Atlantic 10
All-Conference team member has
been making great saves for the No.
16 .Minutewomen. She made a
game-saving save against George
Washington last season and another
one this season against Texas A&M.
In fact, whenever she's tested, she
makes the save.
"I think for the common specta-
tor to watch her, they may not
think much as a qualified observer
would, because she doesn't get a
whole lot of balls in there."
Massachusetts coach jim Rudy said.
"To me. the impressive part (about
her game) is that she is a kid that
can stay back in there and she gets
all the ones she's supposed to get.
That's to me the sign of a great
keeper. Not one that's visual, that's
loud, that's all over the place, but
one that gets all the ones that she
should get. That gives your defense
great confidence. She's got a few
this year that most people wouldn't
have got."
In 16 games for the 11-3-2
Minutewomen. Dion has made 67
saves while giving up just 1 1 goals.
Her play this year has proven once
again that she is one of. if not the
best keepers in the A- 10. as well as
the country.
"I think she's the best keeper in
the conference." Rudy said. "In the
country. I haven't seen a better keep-
er this year. I feel like she was the
better keeper of everyone we've
faced. There may be some that are a
little in front of her right now in
terms of experience or age. but I
think if she can keep going and
expand some parts of her game,
which will come with time. I think
she's certainly in the top 10 |in the
country]. She may be there right
now."
Indeed Dion, who currently is
rated second in the A- 10 for goal-
keeping, has been one of the best in
the country. She recently just fell out
of the nation's Top 10 for goals-
against-average where she stayed for
most of the season peaking as high as
No. 7 in the country.
"I don't really think about |how I
compare to other keepers)," Dion
said. "I try not to think about it. I
don't like to think of myself (like
that). I don't know why. I just
never have. Last year, when I got
all of the awards I was so surprised.
If I am |in the top 10] I'm sur-
prised, if I'm not. then I don't
expect it. When I first got here,
being able to start was a really big
accomplishment. Coach had said

know there's not going to be too
many softies going in. and in two

that I felt was really directly her

"I think some of my decisions are
smarter than I did last year. I think it
was just a matter of learning." Dion

helped me so much. He's a great
coach. I've learned so much from that
man."
Even with all the accolades being
thrown her way. Dion would rather

at what I've done or thought about it

season, then I realize maybe I did to
something."
OSU's the real No. I,
Heisman race still open
If you didn't have a chance to
see the Ohio Si. Buckeyes play
this past weekend against the
Iowa Hawkeyes. you missed one
heck of a performance The
Buckeyes are currently ranked No.
4 in the AP Poll and showed plen-
ty more last Saturday.
The
Hawkeyes
entered this
game with a 5- 1
record and had
lost only to Penn
State. This
up-and-coming
team was simply no match for an
Ohio St. team which is the No. 1
team in the country in this
writer's opinion.
In the first half of this game the
Buckeyes teed-off on Iowa for 56
points and led 49-0 with 10 min-
utes left in the half The Ohio St.
defense even scored themselves
and shut down the Hawkeyes
while the OSU offense scored on
their first six possessions.
|ohn Cooper's team is 8-0 and
have one of the nation's toughest
schedules. While Nebraska and
Florida State, currently ranked
ahead of OSU. have beaten on the
Pacifies and Wake Forests of the
world. OSU has had to play quali-
ty opponents. State's wins have
come against the likes of B.C..
Washington. Pitt. Notre Dame
and Penn St. Not to mention the
rest of its Big lOvnns.
OB Bobby Hoying. running
back Eddie George and wide out
Terry Glenn have been sensation-
al all season and the defense led
by Shawn Springs and Mall
Fiiikes hasn't been too bad either.
Ohio St. should run the table
until its season finale in Ann
Arbor against Michigan. If the
Buckeyes win out it would mean a
trip to the Rose Bowl and most
likely a dead end in the quest for a
national championship. Reason
why. Florida St.. Nebraska and
Florida are all currently ranked
ahead of OSU. Two'of these
teams have a real good chance of
going into the Fiesta Bowl unde-
feated and playing for the pseudcv
national championship.

Let's hope for justice sake that
Ohio St . the true No. 1 team,
doesn't have a job done on them

the Nittany Lions went 12-0 and
were shut out of the national title.
• The Heisman race is wide
open to this point. Here's a quick
look at the con-
lenders.
Eddie George

had I to yards

1 .526 yards on the season.
Tennessee's Peyion Manning
(275 yards per game). Florida's
Danny Wucrffel (22 TD's). and
IHorida St.'s Danny Kanell head a
strong crop of OB's.
Speaking of QB's. the words
"rising stock" come to mind when

mention he is coming of a

Newcomers make

Tomorrow begins the 1995-96 professional

Women's swimming to begin its season at Vermont
By Mike Cor«y
Collagion Staff
The Massachusetts women's swimming and diving
team will be opening its season this Saturday in Vermont
to take on the Catamounts at 1 p.m.
The Minutewomen finished their season last year at
7-4-1. fifth in the Atlantic 10 Conference, fourth at the
New England Championships and seventh in the East
Coast Athletic Conference.
UMass coach Bob Newcomb has compiled a record of
74- 54-1 over his first 1 1 seasons.
This weekend in Vermont, the Minutewomen will be
competing in relays, diving and nine individual sv^mming
events, in freestyle, breast stroke, butterfly and back-
stroke. The distances of the freestyle range from the
50-yard to the 1 .650-yard. 66 laps in the pool.
"Swimming is not easy." Newcomb said. "It is a very
tough sport. I would say that the amount of work that the
swimmers do can be stacked up to the amount of work
from any program here."
What Newcomb was most likely referring to is the
1 0- 1 2.000 yards the Minutewomen swim in one practice.
Not to mention that there are eight workouts a week,
including two double sessions (one on Saturday) and
three days of weightlifting. two hours apiece.
This year's team has 26 members. 2 1 in swimming events
and five in diving. They are taken from a very large recruiting
group each year and work extt«nely hard to earn their spots.
Senior Sarah Baker returns as one of the
Minutewomen 's biggest assets to the team.
"She has developed into one of the best sprinters in the
East." Newcomb said. "I expect her to really dominate."
Baker is the defending Atlantic 10 champion in the
freestyle and will compete in the 50 and 100-yard.
Senior lessica Griffith will compete in the 100-yard.
the 200-yard breast stroke and the 50-yard freestyle.
"She is extremely talented and a great swimmer."
Newcomb said.
Karen Sonnwald returns after her freshman season
and holds the UMass records in the 500. 1.000 and 1.650
yard freestyles. However, she is unavailable, she will start
the year on injured reserve due to a broken fooi.
"Karen is special with her distance ability and it will
be definitely tough without her." Newcomb said. "We
hope to have her back in the water practicing by the end
of the month. But until then we have people who can fill
her spots and will do a gixid job."
Angelique Rodriguez, a junior from Guaynabo. Puerto
Rico, is one of UMass' best divers.
"She has one of the best diving lists in the East right

Table tennis gaining in popularity
By Gisey Kane
Collegian Staff
To most people who flip to the
sports page first thing in the morning,
news and updates from the world of
table tennis are not the most pressing
issue. Ask anyone what they think of
when they hear the words table ten-
nis and you will hear a variety of
answers — backyard barbecues, fami-
ly rec rooms, something to do on
summer vacation, or more ofien than
not. "you mean ping pong, right?"
But over the past several years.
the table tennis market has seen a
marked upswing in participation and
interest. Clubs specifically designed
for the sport are popping up in met-
ropolitan areas across the country.
Tournaments and competitions are
receiving more recognition, more
press coverage.
]ane Chui is a UMass junior in
the School of Management. The
20-year-t)ld Bedford native has been
playing table tennis since she was six
years old. What makes her so special
is not the fact that she has participat-
ed in the sport for so long, but that
she is one of the top-ranked players
in the nation and an Olympic hope-
ful.
Chui began playing table tennis
after her father introduced her to the
sport. Playing on a table in the
garage. Chui's father taught her the
basics of the game. But that garage
was not enough, so Chui's father
started a table tennis club in neigh-
boring Burlington.
"My father is the one who
taught me the game. We had a table
in the garage, but it's not the best
table. We wanted something better."
Chui said. "My father helped to start
a club in Burlington, and it was a big
difference. I play there all the time
when I'm home."
Chui started competing in tour-
naments when she was that young, as
well. Only six. she traveled north of
the border to take part in the
Canadian Open.
"That was scary and I didn't real-
ly do all that well." Chui said. "It was
my first tournament and I was so
young and so nervous."
With hours of practice and com-
petition under her belt. Chui began to
make an impact on the national table
tennis scene. In 1989 in Oklahoma
City. Chui played on the gold
medal-winning North team at the
Olympic Festival. In individual com-
petition, she took home the bronze in
singles and mixed doubles.
"That was a lot of fun. I remem-
ber being really nervous because it
was my first Olympic Festival." she
said. "But there are so many great
memories from that year.
"I can picture the opening cere-
monies and the medal presentation. It
was so big to me. so many people
there, so much going on. Ft was glam-
orous and exciting."
This summer, for the fifth time.
Chui took part in the Olympic
Festival. Competing in Colorado
Springs, she tcx)k home a team gold
and a silver in women's doubles. But
it was not the medal-winning perfor-
mance that made the tournament spe-

Amherst history Facultv SDcaks of financial crisis
seen in writing
of local authors
By Amy H. Pwod/u
Collegian Sloff
"She's very hard to shake," said
Polly Longsworth. author of "The
World of Rmily Dickinson." the most
pictorial bcK)k about the pixJt.
Longsworth will be book signing at
? p m Saturday at The leffery
Amherst Bookstore.
Longsworth. who says she has
"worked with Dickinson for 25 or 50
years." wrote "Emily Dickinson: Her
Utter to the World." in 1%I "That
just started a love affair with Fmily
Dickinson." she said.
Norton Publishing asked the
author to put together "The World of
Emily Dickinson." said Longsworth.
who is now working on another biog-
raphy for Ncjrton.
"Dickinson is such a challenge
visually." she said. "There's only one
picture of her."
Yet. "The World of Emily
Dickinson" has a photo on almost
every one of its \'ib pages.
Longsworth explained that she was
able to do this by widely interpreting
the subject of the book, using photos
and illustrations that show the reader
some of Dickinson's world, which
was centered around her family and
her town.
"It was a small town and she knew
everybody in it." Longsworth said.
"She knew everything that was going
on even when she was a complete
recluse."
Dickinson's father was the treasur-
er of Amherst College for 47 years,
and after he died in 1874. his son
Austin became treasurer.
"The townies and college students
were neighbors and friends. It wasn't
as distinct a divide as it is now." said
Longsworth.
Her husband and daughter were
both graduates of Amherst College,
and Longsworth lived in Amherst
from 1961 until 1977.
Other books Longsworth has writ-
ten include "Exploring Caves" and "I,
Charlotte Thornton. Black and Free."
both of which are now out of print.
Yet. Dickinson seems to be a
favorite topic for Longsworth. She
even wrote a book about two of the
most important people in Dickinson's
life — "Austin & Mabel: the Amherst
Affair & Loveletters of Austin
Dickinson and Mabel Loomis Todd."
"I'm trying to find answers to all
the mysteries about her." said
Longsworth, who admitted she is
convinced the mysteries of Emily
Dickinson will never be solved.

CoNegion Correspondanf
Wednesday there was a convention on the future of
public education sponsored by the Lnisersiiy of
Massachusetts faculty, focusing specifically on financially
restructuring the Hagship institution.
The convention tried to offer some answers to the ques
tion. "What should UMass do to meet changing public
needs for public higher education?." the title of the dis-
cussion. This question was posed after the current edition
of Slutiilkal Ahslraci of I he IS suggested thai funds for
public institutions are shrinking while enrollments are
increasing.
"I believe in the University since I am a product of this
University." said Sally Habana-Hafner. adjunct professor
of education, who received both of her master'-, degrees
from the University.
The panel shared a positive attitude about creating pub-
lic higher education institutions equivalent to their private
counterparts. There were two policy perspectives on what
the University should do during this time of financial con-
straint.
Two perspectives
The first perspective noted that the University is experi-
encing a financial crises that will continue to worsen as
the state budget struggles to meet the rising costs of ele-
mentary and secondary education. Medicaid and anti-
crime measures.
The five-point argument of this perspective includes a
loss of public confidence in public higher education and
low budget funds. Public institutions must become cost
effective in terms of cost per student, and universities will
feel the financial pinch unless they are recognized by legis-
lators.
Results of this perspective would include sharp cuts of
non teaching activities, increased student -teacher ratios,
downsizing public institutions by terminating departments
based on employment prospects, and reduction of costly
subjects and forms of education such as tutoring, semi-
nars, discussion sections and post-graduate programs.
Those of the second perspective argued that declining
legislative support for public higher education is
reversible. In agreement with those of the first perspec-
tive, it was stated that legislative support is decreasing
because legislators face the rising demands of funds for
elementary and secondary education. Medicaid and
anti^rime measures. It urges establishing new priorities
to gain suppt>rt for higher education, rather than assum-
ing such support will continue declining.
Those of the second perspective also argued that when
people support the downsizing of the university, they
assume that with fewer jobs the number of college gradu-
ates will be reduced. Rather, the more educated people
have a better chance of responding in a tight job market
by creating companies that provide jobs, or relocating to
find a job. Therefore, during a job-market shrinkage.
acces*. to higher education <ihould not be reduced.
Results of this second perspective include the expecta-
tion of public higher education institutions in shaping the
job market, developing state economies and enlarging the
tax base as a resource for higher education.
Public vs. private education
Massachusetts is the only state in the U.S. where pri-
vate college enrollments outnumber the enrollments in
public institutions. Data from the 1994-1995 Statistical
Abstract of the United States showed that in 1 992 fewer
than 44 percent of college students were enrolled in pub-
lic institutions, and public institutions educate students at
a lower cost than private institutions.

Opinions vary
on deans^ plan
for University
By AKson GMMwHy
CdUgion Staff
Since yesterday's publication of the
academic deans' proposal for adniin
istrative restructuring at the
University of Massachusetts, the
deans' office, the Faculty Senate and
the Student Government Association
have been vocal in their reactions to
the plan.
The plan represents the deans'
response to the Chancellor's
"Strategic Thinking Plan" distributed
last Spring, in which Chancellor
David K. Scott explained his vision
of how the University would look in
the future, after restructuring certain
programs and departments
The Chancellor then invited
respective university bodies to draw
up their own ideas and restructuring
plans. The deans' proposal was just
one of those input documents sub-
milted.
The deans' version eliminates two
vice chancellorships, which Dean
Joseph Goldstein of the College of
Engineering stresses are already tem
poraiy
"The goal of the program is to
operate more efficiently, not to save
money." Goldstein said.
"The deans feel a lot of the pro-
grams under student affairs belong
under the Provost, such as admis-
sions, financial aid and the
Registrar." Goldstein said "The
dfeans are fully in support of the prt)-
posal and will talk with anyone who
wants to discuss It '
Goldstein said the proposal was
designed and discussed over a 2- 'S
month period, and that there was a
"very positive" discussion with the
Chancellor following.
Dean Thomas O'Brien of the
School of Management is also in full
support of the deans' proposal and
said it was a recommendation, not a
rule of implementation.
'It's up to the Chancellor."
O'Brien said. "If he decides to use
pieces of it. he will follow the tradi-
tions of the Faculty Senate I
wouldn't priK'eed without them and
I'm sure he wouldn't either."
However, not all of the administra
tion was in silent accordance with the
proposal. Thomas B. Robinson. Vice
Chancellor for Student .Affairs,
whose job would be eliminated under
the plan, said this particular restruc
luring plan is "not in the best inter
ests of the University."
"Simply rearranging the depart-
ments will not automatically further
the mission of the University."
Robinson said. "I firmly believe that
parceling out student services
among the other executive areas will
hinder rather than help in the provi
sion of optimal support for students
and the academic enterprise. I fear
that it will inhibit rather than
encourage team work among those
who endeavor to provide these ser-
vices."
Man) felt there was much confu-
siim and alienation surrounding ^im'
the dean's plan was submitted to the
Chancellor.
\'esierday's faculty setiate meeting
in Herter Mall became a forum for
those who had problems with the
deans' proposal to voice their com-
plaint^
Faculty Senate Secretary John
Bracey first heard i)f the deans' pro-
posal through un aiHinym«>us fax sent
to hi'- office He was "puzzled" lo
receive a document which had no
authors' or addressees' name on it.
Bracey said that it was not his
respim'-ibility to respond to "other
peoples mail."
"It's the deans' premgative lo dis-
cuss it. but we have to wait until it's
out in the open." Bracey said "We
have ii procedure in place. It it comes
before the senate, we will deal with
it. It'v not out business yet."
Bracey would not further comment
on the proposal because he felt that it
had not been addressed properly to
the senate, and therefore ihiI an issue
us o( yd.
Many groups, including the SCiA,
were angry that they weie not includ-
ed in the priKCss of a prop«isal which
affects everyone. The confusion and
frustration fell by the SCA stem from
what they term the "secretive"
process in which the plan was sub-
mitted to the Chancellor.
"The document disturbed the SGA
very much " President Christine
Lopes said. "We want to work with
the faculty and the deans. It's not the
plan, but the procedure."
Robinson also noted that all
departments at the University should
have input with regards lo such a
major rehauling of the system.
"Wherever we go from here, all
interested parties must have access lo
the discussions, including the SGA as
a recognized governing body."
Robinson said. "This restructuring
plan cannot be viewed as simply an
intellectual exercise. It has caused a
great deal of anxiety and pain for siu
dents, faculty and staff alike "
Student Trustee Dan Rivera asked
the Deputy Chancellor for copies of
all the documents submitted. In tum.
the SGA will start working on their
own proposal for administrative
restructuring to submit to the
Chancellor.
Dean Robert Helgeson of the
College of Food and Natural
Resources responded to many of the
student and faculty complaints
"The deans did not intend to sit
down and write a plan for the univer-
sity," Helgesen said.
Deputy Chancellor Marcellette
Williams spoke on behalf of
Chancellor Scott, who is out of the
country, in addressing the concerns
of the assembly.
■'The Chancellor will take this
input and commentary as well as the
others in redrafting his document."
Williams said.
SGA passes two motions;
Trustee to eat at Berkshire
By AKson ConnoUy
Collegion Staff
The Student Government
Association passed two significant
motions Wednesday night, creating
more options for students at the
University of Massachusetts.
The first resolution was lo create a
program of evening child care for
student parents. Senator Vicky
Dunbar, who must bring her son to
senate meetings weekly, presented a
motion to extend University child
care service into the evening hours.
Currently, the UMass Child Care
Facility's hours are 8:45 a.m. 445
p.m. Diunbar said these hours prohib-
it student parents from taking 8:00
a.m. classes or using the library in the
evening.
Spaces in the child care program
are also limited and competitive
Slots are divided three ways: among
faculty, undergraduate and graduate
students. Dunbar waited a year
befoT« she was admiiied into the pn)-
gnun.
"On-campus care is expensive and
the waiting lists range from six
months to two years." Dunbar said.
"Holyoke Community College has
morning and evening child care ser-
vices available even though it's small-
er."
SGA President Lopes said that
because of rising costs, undergradu-
ate and graduate students are not
able to afford the service, thus giving
faculty the monopoly.
The service is paid by the students
who use it. Dunbar did not make a
provision in her motion for student
fees to pay for the service, but did
mention she pays for other university
services she does not use herself.
However if passed, the means of
financing the extended hours would
be left up to the University to decide.
Phil Copeland said the motion
speaks for itself. "People need child
care and the senate should agree."
The senate also enacted a revision

".A student who got a CD the rir>t

Senator Christopher .Amshe dis-
jgrci-d with Doyon and made a prc-
-enialion for the opposition.
'Students would be taking courses
ust to increase their GPA's." Amshc
^did. "They should do well in the
wourse the first time."
Amshe also made the point that
students who gel a CD in a course
will have to repeat it anyway if it
needs to count towards their major.
Lopes disagreed with Amshe. say-
ing students should have the option
to take a class over if they so choose.
"If you vote against this, you are
saying that you don't want to give the
student body a choice." Lopes said.
Upcoming cvenu
On Monday, the SGA will make a
presentation on the steps of the
Student Union at noon. The "student
information session" will educate stu-
dents on what motions and actions
the student government is currently
working on. Speaker Dan Castellano
said the purpose of the session is to
get other students more involved in
the governing process.
One of the issues the SGA has
been working to improve on campus
is the quality of Food Services. In
response to student complaints
about the food plan at the
University, Trustee Robert Karan
will be eating at the Berkshire
Dining Commons in the upcoming
month. At a student-trustee lun-
cheon held last month, senator
Maurice Caston voiced his concerns
to the trustee. Caston, a former D.C.
worker, told of his own personal
experiences to which Karan was
receptive. Karan made arrangements
with the chancellor to visit the cam-
pus, making a trip to the dining com-
mons to personally to speak with
students.
Commuter Services has also been
improved through SGA means,
according to Patrick Crowley.
After last week's resolution to allo-
cate $850 from Finance reserves to
Commuter Services, the off-campus
agency registered 1 50 voters in
Coolidge Residence Hall alone in just
an hour and a half period as part of
the Student Voter Registration
Project. Crowley, the graduate assis-
tant for community advocacy, attrib-
utes this success to the new funding,
making it possible for commuter ser-
vices to hire eight work-study stu-
dents.
"We've registered 550 students so
far this semester." Crowley said. "We
want to register a total of 2,000 by its
end."
Commuter Services is also working
towards making the University a
polling place.

THE MASSACHUSETTS DAILY COLLEGIAN
finances
coritlnued from poge 1
According to the abstract. Massachusetts also had a
higher cost per student than the national average of
$4,257. Tuition rose with the share of student support as
Amherst budget cuts declined from b5 percent in fiscal
year 1989 to less than 45 percent in fiscal year 1992. as
reported by the Campus Office of Institutional Research
and Planning.
loumalism Pmfessor Ralph Whitehead noted that in the
past two dctadcs. a lot of UMass parents were burdened
with the choice of investing in their child's education or in
their financial security. Helping financially troubled fami-
lies is the soul of the University, he said.
lob market prospects
Economic models, such as the Asklund model, project-
ed an annual job market increase of 1 .8 to 2.0 percent
from 1995 to 1998. posing the question of whether to risk
educating too many or tix) few students. The panel said if
loo few students are educated, graduates from other states
will relocate, but if too many arc educated, those gradu-
ates will have to relocate to other states.
The dilemma is that under-educating children dooms
them to declining incomes, yet over-educating future citi-
ten- taxpayers forces them to compete for better jobs
elsewhere, the panel said.
Cost of tuition jumps
Tuition increases have taken their toll on admissions,
the panel said. In the last seven years, tuition and fees
have increased by approximately 167 percent, said Ccxilia
Rio of the Graduate Employee Organization.
"We arc being priced out of this university," she said.
The abstract's figures show that the annual application
rate has fallen from 14.885 in 1988 to less than 10.000.
With a narrowing admission pool. SAT scores have
dropped sharply, according to a report from the Campus
Office of Institutional Research and Planning.
With recent cutbacks in financial aid at both the gradu-
ate and undergraduate levels, poor and minority students
are limited in pursuing higher education. The University is
no longer a state aided institution but a state supported
institution, according to University Trustee Robert
Karam.
Traditionally, fniblic institutions have paved the way for
minority student enrollments, the panel said. The
University ranked 1 5 in the nation in producing minority
doctoral degrees, higher than any other university in the
Commonwealth, including all private institutions, accord-
ing to the Campus Office of Institutional Research and
Planning. This data also showed that the University ranks
second nationally in award-winning doctoral degrees to
Hispanic- Americans, and 12th for African-Americans.
Although public higher education was examined in
depth at the discussion, some fell that certain topics had
been ignored.
The panel did not adequately address the subjects o(
sexism, racism, social dass differences and homophobia,
according to junior Phillip Copeland. chair of the
University Policy Committee of the Student Government
Association.
Also, the question of how to financially restructure the
$1 .25 billion university was not answered.
"This university is becoming a watershed for the have's
and have not's." Rio said.
StuA'j says teen drug use getting higher
By Sandra Sobieraj
Astociated Prmj
WASHINGTON — Marijuana use
by black males as young as 1 1 has
tripled in four years. For white girls,
it's more than doubled. And teens
who carry guns or join gangs are
more likely to use cocaine, a national
survey says.
Against this bleak statistical back-
drop. President Clinton said yester-
day he will convene a White House
conference to counter messages to
teens that it's "cool, sexy, attractive"
to drink or gel high.
"This is madness, pure and simple.
And wc all have to do whatever we
can to get it out of our lives." Clinton
said in a speech before the
Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of
America. The one-day conference,
slated for lanuary. would bring
together police, academics and cler-
gy, and officials in government, edu-
cation and media to seek ways to
reduce crime and drug use among
juveniles. Clinton said.
As the president spoke, the
Atlanta-based National Parent's
Resource Institute for Drug
Education, or PRIDE, released its
annual survey of drug use and vio-
lence in junior and senior high
schools.
With illegal drug usage by high
school students steadily climbing over
eight years and currently hovering near
35 percent, overall teen drug use will,
in three or four years, reach 1 979*5 all-
time high of 51 percent, said PRIDE
President Thomas ). Gleaton.
And junior high students seem to
be leading the way.
"Clearly, the new movement back
to drugs is led by younger students."
commented Doug Hall, a PRIDE
spokesman.
The survey of 200,000 students in
32 states found that marijuana use in
grades 6 through 8 skyrocketed dur-
ing the 1994-95 school year. It mea-
sured 13.3 percent for black males
for a 195 percent increase over the
1991-92 report: 6.7 percent for black
females, a 253 percent increase over
four years; and 7,2 percent for white
females, a 118 percent relative
increase.
Slightly more than 10 percent of
white males in the same age group
reported using marijuana last year, a
79 percent increase over the 1991-92
school year.
And high school students who car-
ried a gun to school were 12.4 times
more likely to use cocaine than their
peers; those who joined gangs were
8.7 limes more likely to use cocaine.
Overall, white students reported
higher incidence of drug use than
black students for the 10 substances
studied, including cocaine, hallucino-
gens and inhalants. One example:
15.2 percent of white senior males
used hallucinogens in 1994-95. com-
pared with 4.6 percent of their black
male peers.

Columbian politician
murdered yesterday
By Andrew Sdsky
Ajsociated Prejs
BOGOTA. Colombia — Gunmen
ambushed a prominent opponent of
Colombia's president in a crowded
Bogota street yesterday, killing him
and an assistant.
President Ernesto Samper declared
a state of emergency, giving himself
and security forces wide powers after
the assassination of Alvaro Gomez
Hurtado, a former senator and
ambassador to Washington. Gomez
was hit four limes in a hail of auto-
matic weapons fire in front of the
university where he taught law.
In a somber, nationally televised
address last night, Samper said
Gomez's assassination "makes the
entire nation mourn." He then
announced police could make search
es and arrests without court orders,
and he placed limits on press free-
dom, saying the media could not
carry any declarations by persons
involved in crimes.
Under the 90 day state of emer-
gency, Samper said, the government
could legislate "in extraordinary
form" to restore public order.
However, the government insisted
that no constitutional or press free-
doms were being suspended.
The administration's new, sweep-
ing powers come amid investigations
into allegations that Samper won the
1994 elections with large donations
from the Call drug cartel.
Gomez, 76, had written editorials
in an opposition newspaper urging
Samper to resign over allegations that
ihe cartel had given millions of dol-
lars to his 1994 election campaign.
A man telephoned radio stations aivl
claimed resptmsiNliiy for the attack on
behalf of a group called "National
Dignity." The caller said, "Await ntore
actions." In some of the calls, he
demanded Samper's resignalkjii.
A similarly named group.
Movement for the Dignity of
Colombia, claimed responsibility for
an attack on Sept. 27 on Antonio
lose Cancino, a lawyer defending
Samper against the allegations that
drug traffickers had financially aided
his election.
Cancino was lightly wounded and
two bodyguards were killed in the
attack, which some Colombians sus-
pect was mounted to divert attention
from the political crisis that threatens
to topple the president.
Samper condemned Gomez's mur-
der as "an attack on the entire nation."
Army commander Gen. Harold
Bedoya called it the work of terrorists
trying to destabilize the country.
After the late morning attack,
troops and riot police took up posi-
tion in the streets. Hundreds of
demonstrators clustered outside the
hospital where Gomez died, chanting
"Samper resign!" Dozens of heavily
armed police sealed off the area in
front of Sergio Arboleda University,
where Ihe attack occurred. Bullet cas-
ings littered the street.
The attack also killed aide lose del
Crisio Huertas and wounded a body-
guard and a street vendor.
The assailants escaped, possibly in
a car or on a motorcycle, radio
reports said.
The ambush recalled the worst
days of the government's war against
the Medellin cocaine cartel in the
1980s, during which dozens of senior
officials were assassinated.
Brazilian Indians face suicide Bouchard may secede from movement
Young women suiciding on rise because of povertyt loss of land
By David Crary
Associated Pro«
By Todd Levran
Asioctatad Press
DOURADOS, Brazil - When Silvinha Cavalcante, a
Kaiowa Indian, didn't return to her straw-roofed hut
one evening last April, Luciano Arevalo knew where to
find his 12-year-old niece. He crossed the dusty plain
of his reservation where a forest once stood and
slopped at the foot of a lone guava tree. It was there
that Silvinha's widowed mother had hanged herself a
year earlier.
From a branch a girl In a sundress dangled by the neck,
her body swinging in the moonlight.
"Silvinha went to her mother," said Arevalo. "She had
eight baby brothers. They were going hungry, and she
could not bear to watch this. It was kilhng her soul. To
save her soul, she killed her body."
Suicide, once rare arrwng Brazil's native Indians, is rav-
aging the Guarani-Kaiowa tribe that lives on the remote
brushlands of the western frontier state of Mato Grosso
doSul.
In the first nine months of this year, 43 Guarani-
Kaiowas killed themselves and dozens of others tried,
according to the government's National Indian
Foundation, known by its Portuguese acronym. FUNAI.
That is nearly double the average of 23 suicides in each
of the four pnx-cding years. And before the 1990s, only a
handful of the tribe's 25,000 members killed themselves
each year. By contrast, the suicide rate for Brazil as a
whole is less than one for every 25,000 people, the census
agency says.
An especially troubling aspect is that 40 percent of the
tribe's suicides this year have been girls under 16, FUNAI
says. Only about 2.5 percent of the nation's total suicides
involve young girls. Experts say they do not have good
statistics for Brazil's Indians but they sense that the
Guarani-Kaiowa situation is much worse than for other
tribes.
"What we are dealing with is a culture in crisis," Otilia
Nogueira, a Guarani-Kaiowa specialist for FUNAI, said in
an interview in Brasilia, the capital.
Indian experts attribute the phenomenon to poverty,
the disintegration of families and forced acculturation of
the Guarani-Kaiowa in the face of a violent westward
push by white settlers, an encroachment similar to that on
North American tribes a century ago.
Anthropologists also blame the clearing of forests for
pasture and plantations and the loss of more than half of
the tribe's ancestral lands to ranchers and farmers.
"To resist giving up their identity, the Guarani-
Kaiowa appear to see no alternative but death," said
Rubem Thomaz de Almeida, an anthropologist who has
studied the tribe since 197V "It's not only a disgrace.
but the shame of a country that likes to call itself the
most racially integrated nation on the planet* Fewer
than 300,000 Brazilian Indians are left today, down
from an estimated 5 million when Portuguese explorers
arrived in 1500. The Guarani and Kaiowa then were
separate, nomadic tribes, their villages stretching 1,500
miles from the Atlantic Ocean into what is now
Paraguay.
About 50 years ago, white settlers began moving
west and expelling Indians by violence or by obtaining
questionable land titles, often from corrupt territorial
judges. The two tribes were lumped together and iso-
lated on tiny "island" reservations in Mato Grosso do
Sul.
In 1978, FUNAI secured bank loans on behalf of the
tribe for mechanized farm equipment and offered as col-
lateral hardwood trees on the reservations.
With no farm training or understanding of planting fur
profit, the Indians went bankrupt in two years. FUNAI
divided the reservations into lots and authorized the cut-
ting and sale of hardwoods.
Today, about 25.000 Guarani-Kaiowa survive m 22 vil-
lages scattered over 68.000 acres of largely deforested
scrubland. The fragmented reservations are so small they
cannot support even subsistence farming.
"Our sorrows begin with the lack of land." Chief
Amillon Lopes and seven other Guarani-Kaiowa leaders
wrote in a letter to Congress earlier this year. "There is
not enough space to plant, hunt or live."
The problem is most severe near Dourados, a boom-
town of 80.000 people that has grown rich on cattle
ranching and soybeans. Here. 9.065 Indians live on 8.750
acres of scrubland. Gone are the animals, fish and forest
that once sustained their villages. The soil is parehed and
sapped of nutrients.
Extended families are crammed into one-room lean-tos
and ramshackle huts of scrap wood, mud and brick. Thc7
have no running water or electricity, only mud Hoors and
kerosene lamps.
With few prospects, boys as young as 10 leave to earn
the equivalent of $20 a week as migrant farm laborers,
cowhands or sugar cane cullers for the slate's many
alcohol distilleries. Human rights groups say some
Indians are lured into forced labor camps on plantations,
sawmills, charcoal-producing furnaces and shoe facto-
ries.
Guarani-Kaiowa girls, who normally would marry and
start families by age 14. arc lefi without potential mates.
Many drop out of school to care for their siblings or join
their mothers picking crops for meager pay.
By 15. many girls Hee to Dourados to work in strip
clubs or as maids in hotels. Some arc kidnapped to work
in brothels in remote gold camps.

MONTREAL - Ouebec's most
popular politician declared yesterday
that the separatist cause is "more
alive than ever" but said family pres-
sure may dissuade him from leading
the comeback from a referendum
defeat.
Were Lucien Bouchard lo quit pol-
itics, as he suggested he might, it
would be a devastating blow to the
separatists, removing the only leader
with a proven ability to electrify audi-
ences and win over wavering nation-
alists.
Ouebec's separatist premier,
lacques Pari/euu. resigned less than
24 hours after the narrow defeat in
Monday's secession referendum.
Throughout the separatist movement,
there was agreement that Bouchard
— currently leader of the separatist
faction in the federal Parliament —
was the obvious choice lo take over.
But Bouchard, at a remarkably
candid news coniere-nce yesterday in
Ottawa, raised the ironic possibility
that his wife, an American, and his
two young sons could hold the key lo
the separatists' fortunes.
'It's well known that my wife is
not crazy about politics." he said.
"She doesn't hate politics. She knows
it's important... but we had an agree-
ment that everything would be over
after the referendum."
He said his sons, like many
Canadians, are weary of referendum
politics.
"Young children of 5 and 4 can't
understand what wc are doing." he
said. "They learned the word refer-

endum' and they hale it. They spit
when they pronounce it."
Bouchard. 5b. alluded to his brush
with death last year, when a near-
fatal flesh-eating disease cost him a
leg.
"I've gone through a very difficult
time," he said. "The whole family
came out of it traumatized... I have
strong personal pressure to go t>ack
to private life."
He said he would reveal his deci-
sion after a family vacation that ends
Nk)v. 20.
The possibility that Bouchard
could leave politics sent the Carudian
dollar higher on currency markets,
where traders are worried about
long-term political instability if the
sepaBIlM^ try another bre-akaway.
"the possibility that he would no
longer be involved in the day-to-day
sovereignty agenda is being viewed
as a favorable thing." said Rob
Palombi. a market analyst with
MMS International. Although
Bouchard was unsure of his own
future, he announced a firm decision
by his Bloc Qucbecois lo reverse
their long-term plan lo quit
Parliament. Instead, he said Bloc
members would keep their seals,
despite the referendum defeat, to
fight proposals aimed at keeping
Oucbec in Canada.
"The objective of sovereignty is
more- alive than ever," he said. "More
than ever, it's imporlani lo have
Ouebeckers in Ottawa who defend
the interests of Oucbec when
unprecedented attacks will be
launched against us."
The Bloc, with 55 seats, is
Parliament's largest opposition party.
A few Bloc members might resign,
but special elections would be held to
replace ihem. Bouchard said.
Canadian Prime Minister lean
Chretien has promised that
Parliament, controlled by his Liberal
Party, will act swiftly on political
changes intended to satisfy Ouebec
nationalists. Chretien said those
changes would include formal recog-
nition of Ouebec as a "distinct soci-
ety" and a commitment that the con-
stitution would not he amended with-
out Ouebtx's consent. Bouchard said
these proposals were a "decoy" and
not worth discussing. Ouebec will
negotiate with Ottawa on only one
basis, he said: "Kqual to equal, the
day after the next referendum."
Chre-ticn's strategy also was assailed
yesterday by IVeston Manning, leader
of the Reform Party, The conserva-
tive, westembasc-d party advocates a
major shift of federal powers to the
provinces.
Manning said Chretien should
offer no special status or privileges to
Ouebec, and instead should focus on
decentralization that would give
more power lo all the provinces, on
an equal basis Several premiers of
English-speaking provinces also have
urged the federal government to
transfer more powers to them, in
areas ranging from environmental
protection lo personnel training.
This prospect alarms Canadian
Indian leaders, who have a generally
amicable relationship with the federal
government. "We have to guard our-
selves against the power grab by the
provinces," said Ovide Mercredi,
grand chief of the national coalition
of Indian peoples.

"English Papers; A Teaching Life"
and "Playing It by Ear: Literary
Essays and Reviews" Saturday at
noon.
In his book, "English Papers,"
Pritchard reviews life as a student
and teacher of English at Amherst
College. He said he sketches Ihe dif-
ferences between teaching English
and literature between when he
attended Amherst College in 1949 to
1955, and today, as well as institu-
tional changes at the college.
For example, Pritchard said he
wrote about the late 1960s and the
relative turmoil on campus, Ihe
beginning of co-ed education at
Amherst College in the fall of 1976
and Ihe move from sequenced cur-
riculum lo more course choice.
Many of the epi.sodes and issues
raised in "English Papers" are derived
from Prilchard's experiences as a pro-
fessor since 1958, as well as his expe-
riences reviewing and writing books.
"I wrote about the changes in the
profession and Ihc terrible difficulty
now, in English, of getting a job.
even with a Ph.D.," he said.
Although "English Papers" con-
centrates on Amherst College,
Pritchard said he also deals with
institutional change at Harvard and
Columbia, where he is taking gradu-
ate courses.
Other books written by Pritchard
include "Frost: a literary life recon-
sidered." "Lives of the Modern
Poets," and "Randall larrcll: a literary
life."

Content in being the Newtral target
Ilove Newt.
Yup. You heard it here first, dear readers. I love
the Ging- man.
I want him to be everywhere. 1 want him to get an
endorsement deal with Nabisco to start selling Fig
Ncwt-ons. I want him to drop a Newt-ron bomb, and
start rebuilding society, starting with a Newt-isl colony.
lu.M think, it'll be a Newt-opia!
I want him to have his own 24-hour-a-day cable chan-
nel. NewTV'. I want a satellite shaped like
his big. gray head floating up in space
beaming his messages of love and joy down
here to the waiting masses.
I want to see Newt-shaped Pez dispensers
silting on candy store shelves. I want to be
able to lean his head back and lei little red.
while and blue colored candy bricks come
shooting right out of his nixk. Yummy.
I want him to have his own back-up
group called the Newt Kids on the Block,
following him around the countr). doing
dance routines behind him while wearing
those stupid little headphone mikes.
Why? Why all this borderline (okay, maybe not so bor-
derline) obsession? Why haven't I been this excited about
something since I heard the erroneous rumor that NBC
was bringing Manimal back? Simple.
He's a pig.
Not just any run-of-the-mill pig. mind you. Oh. no.
This guy is the prince of porcine. The sultan of swine. He
makes loey Buiiafucco look like Dick Cavetl. Newi
doesn't do anyihing halfway, he's a classic. He figures if
he's going to be rooting arourtd in his own vile excrement,
he should smile doing it.
He fills a need by providing almost everyone with a
common enemy. I mean, even if you agree with his poli-
tics. I find it difficult to believe anyone can condone some
of his actions.
This is the same guy who servixl divorce papers to his
vnfe while she was in ihc hospital recovering from cancer
surgery.
'Gee honey, could you sign this before those pain pills
kick in? You've got to press through a few copies."
This is also the guy who couldn't understand why there
could be a conflict of interest brewing when he agreed lo
a multi-million-dollar book advance from a publisher
who was about to be investigated by the federal govern-
ment.
Newt decided that the way to make everything all neat
and tidy was to trim the advance down a bit. down to one
dollar to be exact, and still couldn't comprehend why peo-
ple thought that he might still be pushing the bounds of
ethical behavior.
How about the royalties? How about the fact that
you're still dealing with the same publisher? I think that
could be potential trouble, don't you. Newton?
Newt's a futurist. He's convinced that
the golden road to glorious salvation is
paved with silicone chips and super- con-
ductors. He thinks that all of our hopes
and dreams can be picked up at various
rest stops on the information super- high-
way, provided that he and his Republican
toadies get to run the toll booth at the
on-ramp.
Newt's vision is for a computer on every
lap and a modem in every phone. Regular
trips to the lunar surface for fun and frolic.
Vacation packages, special rates for cou-
ples and newlyweds. Honey-moon shots. The old. poor
and underprivileged need not apply.
I'm not sure who's going to develop and use all these
wonderful new toys. If Newtie gels his way. student loans
will be slashed, leaving a whole generation whose entire
experience with technology will be shared with a comput-
er- generated hedgehog.
Oh. well. The price of balancing that dam budget in
seven years rather than 10. I guess.
I suppose he could have some kind of ulterior motive
for denying txlucations to thousands of people. Perhaps he
figures that by keeping people ignorant, they'll be more
likelv to vote Republican. Nah. that can') be right? Can
it?
In a world where everyone is creating and destroying
heroes as fast as they can. it's almost a comfort lo know
thai there's al least one person who sidesteps all of that.
He aspires to be a slime ball. He makes it easy to haie
him. He gives people a common enemy. He usually gives
everyone something lo be angry about. Even though he
seems to have forgotten thai ihe same people he's alienat-
ing, are the same ones who got him this job in the first
place. He's giving ihe voters plenty of rope to hang him
with. String him up.

Quebec secession more than history
Peter
Orvetti
My all-consuming hatred for
and animosity toward all
things French seems to be
well-known. Then it may come as
a surprise to hear that I really feel
quite sorry for the separatists of
Quebec.
The right of self-determinalion
is crucial to a democracy. Our own
nation was first a spumed colony,
rebelling from the root because our
cultural identity had become dis-
tinct. Both federalists and sepa-
ratists in Canada admit ihal
Quebtx is a different idea than ihe
rest of Canada, a peculiar entity.
In America, we
lend to view our
northern partner
with patrician con-
descension. Many
of us cannot fathom
ihe bitter emotions, built on decades
of resentment, thai nearly led
Quebec to strike out on its own.
After all. Quebec has been a key-
stone of Canada for longer than our
own republic has existed.
Quebec is home to one-quarter
of all Canadians. Montreal is per-
haps the most renowned Canadian
city Though the few observers who
feared actual civil war if secession
came were guilty of hyperbole, the
effect of separation would have
been damning to the remaining
nine provinces. Canada would have
been severed neatly in two. its
economy left in disarray.
Since Canada has always been
America's northern counterpart,
and a friendly, relatively docile one,
it has been easy lo overlook its his-
tory. Canada in ils present incama-
lion has only existed for 13 years.
In 1980. iwo years before Canada
adopted a consiituiion effecting a
full separation from the British
Crown in all but title, Quebec sepa-
ratists put together a last-ditch
effort at secession, fearing that
Quebec would become just another
province.
The measure failed and, in 1982,
Quebec's fears were proven true.
Quebec lost its status within
Canada. C}uebec had been absorbed
into the British Empire in the 1700s,
and the English granted the new
acquisition special rights based on
Quebec's French heritage. In 1982,
Quebec became just one of 10
provinces, no different than
Saskatchewan or Prince Edward
Island.
As Quebec's griev-
ances deepened, the
Canadian government
granted the province
more privileges,
declaring il a special
society. But, seeing ihe power that it
had attained, the Quebecois decided
lo seek their long-elusive indepen-
dence.
In Ihe modem era. it is heartening
to see a political debate framed in
national idenijiy and culture raihcr
than ihe turgid numbers of econom-
ics. Nations carved oul of identity
and ideology against all odds, like
the United Slates, have been the
most successful. Meanwhile, nations
born of political expediency, like
Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia, or
oul of coercion, like the Soviet
Union, no longer exist.
Quebec sought lo become a
nation because of history, not
money. Quebecois have never real-
ized a state reflecting their unique
identity as a former colony of France
in the New World. North America's
existing nations were all once
colonies of either Britain or Spain.
However, as 50.6 percent of vot-
ing Quebecois ultimately acknowl-
edged, cultural identity does not
put bread on the table. The separa-
tion would have been ruinous to
the economies of both Canada and
the new Quebec, and would impair
the United Stales as well. 'The
Clinton administration placed sig-
nificant pressure on Quebec,
although it made little difference in
the outcome.
li is likely that Quebec, on its
own, would be akin to Slovakia,
which separated from the Czech
Republic a few years ago in a move
to assert its heritage. Il wasn't until
after the triumph and ihe celebra-
tions that Slovakia realized that its
entire economic viability lie in the
Czechoslovakian union. Had the
Quebecois said "Qui." they might
have ultimately regretted it.
Quebec may ultimately gain
independence. Separatists are not
limited in Ihe number of times they
can call the question, and. having
lost by just 50.000 voles, they vrill
certainly try again. It won't take 15
years this time.
But, even as they grow in
stature, the separatist alliance is
coming apart. Quebec Premier
lacques Parizcau thought he might
wake up on Tuesday morning as
the President of the Republic of
Quebec. Instead, on Tuesday he
resigned from office.
Parizeau's much more significani
cohort, Lucicn Ektuchard, will press
on. And. in ihe end. it may be
Bouchard who plays George
Washington — or Charles de Gaulle
— in a new state. Bui today. Canada
must remember thai Ihcir Quebecois
siblings are noi Canadian in the
same sense as ihe rest. And Quebec
must again consider whether or not
ils legitimate grievances necessitate
disowning the family.

Opinion/Editorial
Living in fear not the answer
Wendy
Darling
A woman can't be too careful these days or can
she?
Since arriving at this university two years ago. I
have leamed a lot about what it means to be a woman in
this society. I've heard talks dealing with employincni dis-
crimination, debated pornography, and discussed prob-
lems in women's health care.
But through il all, one theme keeps coming up that I sim-
ply cannot absorb, cannot undcrstaixl, and caniK>t believe —
Ihe worid is not a safe place for women, arxl unlev> you pro-
tect yourself, you're going lo go the way of Nicole Simpson.
At first the messages made sense. [Xin't walk around
campus late at night by yourself. Don't accept rides from
men you don't know. Don't walk around
the dorm in your underwear. Short, sensi-
ble ideas I hat can go a long way to keep a
woman safe.
And even if I did resent the fact that I was
being told lo look over shoulder now and
ihc-n, it didn't bother me too much. It wa.sn't as if people
were asking me to change every aspect of my life. After all.
why on earth woukl I want to walk arouttd in my underwear
anyway?
Millions of women are being verbally harassed, physi-
cally assaulted, raped, and murdered every minute of the
day. I kept hearing. Over in that dorm, behind that bush,
in such and such a town, in this state, around ihe world,
the violence goes on and on.
I tKxldcd my head, taking sober note of the statistics glar-
ing out from posters hung in my dorm — one in four
women will be attacked by a rapist during her college
career and one in seven will actually be raped. Well, I guess
that's it for me and my laissez faire atlilude about this, I
thought. Maybe I should be a little more worried.
So like a dutiful little giri. I locked my dorm room at
night to protect myself from the man who might try to get
into my room and as.sault me.
I called up the escort service when I had to make a long
trip across campus late at night. I ran from streetlight to
sircellight to stay in "well-lit areas." I listened to the
sounds around me, kepi track of stray shadows, and
watched oul for suspicious characters.
Riding the bus. I kept my eyes out for strange men
looking al me or trying to draw me into conversation.
Watch oul. you can't be too careful. I told myself, confi-
dent my vigilance was paying off.
But was it? On the nighis when I didn't lock my door,
nothing terrible happened. Many times I found it very
convenient not lo have to worry about gelling locked oul
in ihe middle of the night just because I'd made a quick
trip to the bathroom.
And out of the many times I made long trips across
campus late at nighi. I'd never seen or heard a single thing
that was suspicious or even vaguely frightening.
I had met a few strange men on the bus, but that didn't
seem like something I could avoid.
So did changing my behavior make a difference in my
life? Well, in one respect. I'd say yes. It made me afraid.
Walking across campus any time of dav. I feel like I
should be wary. I look around for lingering eyes. I go oul
of my way to avoid empty stairwells because they make
me so frightened. I shy away from conversations with
strangers. In short, I've bc-come the stereotypical shrink-
ing violet, too afraid to go about the basic tasks of life.
I'm noi the only one cither. I have pleniy
of female friends who seem to iKe a similar
problem. None of us has ever Mten assault-
ed or followed or ihreaiened in any way,
but we all felt like we're going to be.
Remember — one in seven women will be
raped at some point in her college career. So you can never
be loo careful.
Recently I noticed a flyer on dorm safety hanging up in
my dorm. Printed by the local action group Riot Grrrl, the
flyer offers several pieces of advice on ways female college
students can protect themselves from sexual assault. I flew
into a rage.
Lock the door even when you're in the tx>om. And when
you're "just running down the hall for a minute." I obviously
must have the wrong kind of mentality lo accept this kind of
thing, because the way I see it. I'd rather be 'uasafe' than
live like I'm in the midst of rapists and axe- murderers. Sure,
locking my door might reduce the chance of some strange
man coming in, but what kind of chance is that?
Thai wasn't the only bit of advice I look exception to
either. No, there was also one warning mc that "the guy
down the hall may seem very nice" but could be a rapisi
in disguise. Don't shut ihe door when you're in the same
room and don't go over and visit him without telling
someone first. You never know what could happen.
Attention to all you guys down the hall — don't you fed
insulted? In case you don't, let me tell you thai I, al least,
am very insulted. How dare somebody tell me that — just
because somebody is a man I have lo treat him like he's
some kind of high explosive. Smacks of prejudice to me.
So now I'm angry. And afraid.
Afraid that just because I dare speak up about what I
.see as militant paranoia, the entire women's community is
going lo come down on mc and chew me up
Because I don't get it. Because I don't go along with
everything they say. Because I'm noi afraid enough.

Editing distorts
messages
To the Editor:
I am writing in response to the
article "Our Day of Light and Dark
a-Tonemcnt" which ran on Nov. I. I
would like to clarify that I was not
self-exalted to "Queen." This was
solely the work of the editors. It is
also very important to note that origi-
nally there were three names preced-
ing the three mentioned in the article,
which are vital in making my point.
These women are Ebony, Bunmi and
Jennifer. Anything that has been
mixed, diluted or tampered with in
any form, loses its potency and may
change the message.

Articles cause more
tension
To the Editor:
As I write this, the rift between
blacks and whiles widens. By printing
incorrect facts and
ridiculously-bia.sed article. The Daily
Collegian is in fact aiding in this ever
critical division. I would like to ask
how and why "Honesty is the Best
Policy — Reflection of the Million
Man March," in the Nov. 1 issue of
the Collegian, was printed seeing as it
is just a hollow egg. This article had
very lilllc truthful meat to it and
should have been reconsidered come
printing time.
Letters to the Editor
The author begins with an excel-
lent purpose in describing his "illu-
minating experience" at the Million
Man March. He furthermore
touched upon Ihe biological equality
of the human race and the invalidity
of racial, economic and gender
social hierarchies. It is here ihat the
article and the Collegian are guilty
of poisoning the community with
ignorance.
1 . lesus. Abraham and Moses were
of Middle Eastern decent, human
evolution had already been in effect
for 3-5 million years.
2. Hebrew men, women and chil-
dren were exiled to Europe afier the
destruction of the Second Temple, in
70 A.D., and Moors hadn't even
stepped in Spain until 71 1 A.D.
3. The University of Salamanca
was established by Catholics upon
that region's conquest.
4. Spain's architectural magnifi-
cence is attributed to the Moorish
inhabitants of Andalucia at the other
end of the heap.
5. Semites were of Indo-European
decent.
6. How do any of these facts relate
to the impact of the Million Man
March and our ability to work togeth-
er.
Ignorance is not bliss, so cut the
crap. The other day my friend said to
me. "Is segregation alright if its com-
ing from a minority? Think about it."
The fact is minorities do have to try
harder and do better in order to suc-
ceed and overcome, rather than just
continue fingerpointing. I know I do.
Believe il or not, there are more peo-
ple in this world than blacks and
whiles.

Word completely
misused
To ihe Editor:
Since I've arrived here at UMass,
there has been this incessant
onslaught from certain members of
the GLBT community on homopho-
bia, claiming that anyone with any
disagreement or discomfort with
any type of gay activity is, of course,
homophobic. I would like to
address this issue. First, the phobia
aspect of the term, the definition of
phobia is "an intense, abnormal, or
illogical fear." The term
Claustrophobia is also defined, in
the American Heritage dictionary,
as 'an abnormal fear of being in an
enclosed space." I pose these ques-
tions to Ihe reader — 1. Have you
ever met someone who calls them-
selves claustrophobic? 2. Have you
ever met someone who is clinically
claustrophobic and when in a small
area will act out violently, pass oul,
endure distorted vision and simply
go crazy?
You see, it's an easy mistake to
use terms wrongly, so I forgive
those few GBLT members who are
sincere, but in grave error. In clos-
ing, I call those members of the
GBLT to stop using a medical term
for political purposes. Labeling is
disabling.

Boston^s best pop band in town
Papas Fritas to bring hits & fun vocals to the Bay State
By Mike Burke
Collegian Staff
Pop Has Freed Us! This Saturday night, one of the most
promising pop bands in ages will appear at the Bay State
in Northampton. Since the release of their debut album
last month, ihe name Papas Friias has been on the lips of
virtually everyone who has heard the band.
The self-tilled album is a sensational creation, packed
with 1 3 of the catchiest pop melodies you will find any-
where. Amazingly, this trio is even better live than in the
studio. All three members share singing duties in a fash-
ion similar of small factory. Plus, the band's laid back alti-
tude makes ihem a pleasure to watch.
Unlike most bands who are forced to hide behind feed-
back and noise. Papas Fritas lei their songs shine with
minimal interference. This band was raised on the real
rock n' roll lunes of the Beatles and the Beach Boys and
are not ashamed to sound like none of their contemporary
peers. They are not oul to reinvent pop music, instead
they just want to prove that there is nothing better than a
well crafted catchy song.
After the band released two cassettes on their own
and a single on Sunday Driver. Minty Fresh Records
(the home of Veruca Salt) signed the band. Their first
single on Minty Fresh ranks as one of the best of the
year with two excellent songs. "Passion Play" and
"Lame To Be." Both songs later appeared on the album
in new version.
Since their humble beginning as students at Tufts
University in Medford. the band has evolved from a
Pavementy-sounding slack band lo a classic pop band.
Any fans of t9t)0's style pop should definitely chtxk out
Papas Fritas because they are one of ihc few pure pop
bands left. Catch this band now when you can still see
them in a comfortable setting like the Bay Slate.
Playing alongside Papwis Friias will be local stars Tizzy
and Zeke Fiddler — both of whom know how to write a
catchy pop tune themselves.
Papas Fritas. Tizzy and Zeke Fiddler uill appear at the
Bay Slate Saturday night. Call the club at bS4-S5n for
more information.
Papas Fritas will play the Bay State this Saturday.

Punk-ska band leaves crowd glowing
By Adam Dlugocz
Collegion Staff
THE VOODOO GIOWSKUUS
Iron Hone
Nov. I
There are good concerts and then
there are grcal concerts. After a good
concert you feel fulfilled and relative-
ly happy about yourself, but after a
great show your legs feel like jelly
from dancing and you can't slop
smiling.
Wednesday night at the Iron
Horse, The Voodoo Glow Skulls put
on one of iheir all-time greatest
shows. From the first song until the
final second of the last tune, the
Glow Skulls had the crowd dancing.
Furthermore, the opening band of
a show is usually a talentless waste
and you wonder why you went to ihe
show so early. However, this was an
all-around great show — even the
opening band Schlong were excel-
lent. Schlong played a mix of heavy
metal, country, lounge and hardcore
and they made il all sound punk.
Opening with "Insubordination."
the Glow Skulls came out with gui-
tars churning and horns blazing.
They immediately showed off their
brand of punk-ska that only ihey can
pull off. Playing a solid mix of songs
off both Who Is? This Is! and Firme.
the Glow Skulls blew the crowd
away. Classics like "Bossman." "Dirty
Rats" and "Ugly Stick" mixed per-
fectly with newer ones like 'Fat
Randy." "Shoot The Moon" and
"Method To Madness."
The crowd was skanking. pogoing
and singing along lo every song. The
only disappointment was that after
playing for an hour and a half, the
Voodoo Glow Skulls had to end their
set. Yet even those last moments
were memorable as they smoothly
Howed from "Revenge Of The Nerds"
to "Land Of Mi&fil Toys' without
missing a beat.
The Iron florse was an odd place
for a punk show. The stage was so
small thai they could barely fit all of
the Voodoo Glow Skulls on il. The
tiny stage forced the bassist to stand
behind the horn section. The stage
also inhibited the dancing of the
lead singer, who looked like he was
the verge of exploding al any sec-
ond.
Il was also ironic that a band who
has a song "Nicotine Fil" was playing
in a strictly non-smoking club. The
dance floor was also loo small and
the two drunk jocks only served to
make il smaller. However, none of
Ihal would hinder the power of ihe
Glow Skulls.
As the crowd of people walked off
into the night, with steam rising off
them il was clear that nobody would
be the same after witnessing the
Voodoo Glow Skulls.

Complaints about campus issues
Mike's .,
WEHTAt
I boarded the bus this morning
really struggling to come up with
something to write about today I
had been brainstorming for ihc
past few days but honestly. I had a
lot of other more important things
on my mind lo deal with.
So this brings me back lo the
bus. When I got on. a friend of
mine was already silling there. I sal
down next to her and said "hi." and
proceeded to vent my frustrations
about how I couldn't think of any-
thing to write about.
To this she answered. "I can'i
believe you
don't have
anything to
complain
about."
Now I'll be
the first to
admit that I
complain a lot
when I get going, but I usually try
lo think of something micresiing or
funny when I'm pondering a subject
lo write about. But then it occurred
lo mc — why not just talk about all
those things that annoy nie. that by
themselves wouldn't be enough to
fill a column. Drum roll please..
• Slaying with the bus motif...
il is really rude when people
refuse to move to the window scat
when ihe bus gets crowded, there-
by leaving the seat next to ihetn
open, but inaccessible to those
who want il. Usually ihey do this
so they can talk lo someone across
the row. Here's a revolutionary
idea — how about silling next to
each other?
• Or how about people in the
Student Union/Campus Center
who slop either in the middle of
the hall (or even better) al the lop
of a stairwell and carry on a
I 5-minule conversation about
their cat's hairballs? Do you think
ihal ihcy notice the traffic jam of
people forming around them or are
they really that oblivious?
• I won't even explain this one
because I'm sure you all know
what makes this so annoying — the
perpetual Blood Drive.
• How 'bout that wackv adminis-
tration? I ca
(led th
IS summer to
inquire about gelling credits from a
summer class al home transferred
to UMass and guess what hap-
pened? Well, first I called the
Registrar's office, because I didn't
know where else lo call, gave them
a five minule speech about my situ-
ation and Inquired what lo do.
"Click." and instantly I was trans-
ferred to. well I'm not sure where,
but someone else answered and I
proceeded lo give them the same
speech after which they said. "Oh.
no. you want (such and such)
office." — click.
I.illle did I know that my jour-
ney was only half over. After the
same speech was given lo some
other poor
summer phone
lackey. I got
the last straw
— "Oh. you
want lo lake a
class some-
where else
besides
UMass ' That s CASIAC I'm not
sure how lo transfer you. but
here's the number." Al this point.

Torre named top Yankee
By Ronald Mum
&BobUnruh
Auociotod Prau
NEW YORK - Insisting he's not
worried about interference from
George Steinbrenner, loe Torre on
yesterday accepted baseball's least
secure job — manager of the New
York Yankees.
"If I concern myself with what-ifs
and how I'm going to handle it.
then I shouldn't be here." Torre
said at Yankee Stadium after his
two-year $1.05 million deal was
announced.
Bob Watson, the team's new gen-
eral manager, said the deal was
agreed to Wednesday night in
Tampa. Fla.. during a meeting that
included himself. Torre.
Steinbrenner. former manager Gene
Michael and Brian Cashman. the
team's new assistant general manag-
er. "Bob and I are going to decide
the baseball side of this operation."
Torre said "Until I see otherwise. I
have no reason to think otherwise. I
worked for Ted Turner and
Anheuser-Busch, people who are
used to winning and are very impa-
tient when they don't win. and I can
understand that. I get a little impa
tient myself."
Neither Turner's Braves nor the
Busch's Cardinals have seen the kind
of turnover that takes place at
Yankee Stadium Yesterday's shift
was the 20th change in managers
since Steinbrenner bought the team
in 1975.
Torre, a Brooklyn-bom fan of the
New York Giants, succeeds Buck
Showalter. who balked at
Steinbrenner's attempt to force out
some of his coaches
The team announced Showalter's
resignation last Thursday but he said
he was willing to continue negotia-
tions. He was offered a $1.05 mil-
lion, two-year deal.
Showalter. popular with many
Yankees players and fans, has been
manager since October 1991 and
served the longest continuous term of
any manager under Steinbrenner.
Showalter already has interviews
scheduled with the Detroit Tigers
and Oakland Athletics.
Torre, fired by the St. Louis
Cardinals in lune. got "goosebumpy"
when offered the Yankees job. He
wasn't contacted about it until
Tuesday.
"It's a once in a lifetime thing." he
said. "For Billy Martin it wasn't, but
for me it is."
Torre has asked Willie Randolph
and Tony Cloninger if they would
return as coaches next season, and he
may ask Chris Chambliss as well.
Torre. 55. has a .471 winning per-
centage in 14 seasons as a major
league manager. He has led just one
team to a first-place finish: the 1982
Atlanta Braves, who won the NL
West and were swept by the
Cardinals in the playoffs.
His motivation is to be in the
World Series, something he's never
achieved as a player or manager.
"That's one more piece in the
puzzle in my career." he said. "I'd
still like to get this managing thing
right."
Torre was contacted about the
Yankees' general manager job but
said he wasn't interested. He
watched the Yankees' turmoil of the
past two decades from a distance
and said he had the same attitude
toward them as many baseball exec-
hockey

could make a run at the crown. In
fact Donnelly gives Temple a
slight edge in the contest.
"Temple has a great goalie and
is very strong up the middle, and
St. joe's is very strong on the
sides. 1 would give the edge to
Temple. I just think they're ready
to take off. and I think they'll play
well at home."
Awards Preview: St. loe's
coach Michelle Finegan will likely
get Coach of the Year honors for
leading the Hawks to their first
ever league title, but Rhode
Island's Rebecca Provost will get
some attention here as well.
There is no clear cut Player of
the Year, but Kyle Rothenbcrger.
St. loe's Melanie Taube. and
Temple's Tara Silvestre will all
likely receive consideration.
The Freshman of the Year spot
is also muddled, but UMass' Kate
Putnam will get some considera-
tion.
utives.
"There's a lot of limes you say. I'm
glad I'm not therc.' " he remembered.
He also showed he can joke iiboul
life under Steinbrenner. Referring to
Watson. Torre said: "He's jumped
into the same foxhole."
Torre becomes the fourth person
to manage the Yankees and Mets. lol-
lowing Casey Stengel. Yogi Berra and
Dallas Green. He was 551-554 with
the Cardinals, a team he took over
during the 1990 season.
Watson also considered Sparky
Anderson. Gene Lamont. Butch
Hobson and Chambliss. He said he
picked Torre because the manager
is open, plays aggressively and is a
bit of a gambler in his decision-
making.

DENVER — Saying it is imponant
for the Rockies to keep their core
players together. Colorado general
manager Bob Gebhard agreed yester-
day to a three-year deal with Dante
Bichette worth about SI I million.
Bichette, who had a $5.1 million
salary this year and made $200,000
more in performance bonuses, can
make about $1 million a season in
bonuses under the new contract.
"The way the year ended up on a
real positive note. I felt really good
about the situation." Bichette said.
"We as a family wanted to stay in
Colorado."
In other moves, the Rockies agreed
to a two-year contract with reliever
Darren Holmes and said they would
not offer salary arbitration to short-
stop Walt Weiss.
The Rockies reached the playoffs
in their third season, the fastest ever
for an expansion team. They lost 5-1
to Atlanta in the first round.
Bichette's statistics topped team-
mates Larry Walker. Vinny Castilla
and Andres Galarraga. He hit a
National League-leading 40 homers,
drove in 128 runs and hit .540. He
led the league with a .620 slugging
percentage.
"This is a win-win situation."
Gebhard said. "He needs to be here.
He wants to be here. And it's the best
for the Colorado Rockies."
Manager Don Baylor noted that
Bichette has improved in all three of
his seasons with the Rockies.
"I don't think to<.) many guys can
compare (to him) the last three
years." Baylor said.
Holmes. 29. was 6-1 last season
with a team-high 14 saves and a 5.24
ERA.

to see the excitement that the fans
added to the game. They were
knowledgeable and charged up as
they were treated to an amazing
game.
There is no reason that UMass
can't have the same atmosphere.
Here are some keys:
• Rivalry. Almost every team
UMass plays is local, which is reason
enough to hate them, and the confer-
ence opponents face-off three times a
year. This much head to head compe-
tition always brings out the spirit of
nastiness.
• Razz the opposing goalie. Yell
sieve anytime he gives up a goal.
• Find a creative item (bananas'')
to throw on the ice anytime UMass
scores. At New Hampshire, the fans
throw fish. In Detroit octopi hit the
ice every time the Red Wings score.
• Most importantly show up. The
game is free and will be well worth
watching. Hoop fans at the Curry
Hicks Cage v^-ill tell you that watch-
ing a program on its way up was one
of the most exciting institutions in
sports.
So tonight when the team takes

What a scary thought for NHL
goaltenders. And what a scary start
for Lemieux. who sat out last season
for health reasons only to return even
better than before.
"You never expect to go out one
night and get seven or eight points."
Lemieux said after his one-goal, six-
assist night Wednesday in the
Pittsburgh Penguins' 10-0 victory
over Tampa Bay. "I was fortunate
enough that the power play's been
working good for us. and that's
where I get most of my points."
Actually, he's getting them almost
every time he steps on the ice.
"It was almost kind of scary,
because he could have had a few
more out there." Penguins coach
Eddie Johnston.
Funny, how that word scary always
seems to make its way into any con-
versation about Lemieux.
Lemieux expected to make slow but
measurable progress in his first month
hack, but goals and assists are coming
even faster than they did when he led
the Penguins to Stanley Cups in 1991
and 1992. It's more than just the one
year away from hockey, too. Lemieux
didn't use the time off just to a-st his
on-troublesome back and to shake off
the anemia and fatigue that dogged
him following his 1995 bout with
Hodgkin's disease.
For the first time since he first
picked up a hockey stick at age 2 or
5. Lemieux began an extensive off-
season conditioning program. Now.
he lifts weights, walks on a treadmill,
uses a stair-climbing machine and
even had a conditioning room built
onto his spacious Pittsburgh home.
Before, when his back hurt almost
every night — he missed nearly one-
quarter of the Penguins' games from
1990-94 — his training regimen was
considerably different.
"I asked him what he did in the
offseason to stay in shape and he
said. Starting Aug. 1. I don't order
fries with my club sandwich." center
Ron Francis said.
Even Lemieux's personal trainer
and the Penguins' medical staff are
amazed with the progress he has
made. He has never been stronger,
and. remarkably, at age 50. his twice-
surgically repaired back has never felt
better.
"It's good when you can go to
work every day and feel good." he
said. "I feel good now when I go to
the rink. I've never Iclt belter. I
never felt this good at the peak of
my career." Of course, who's to say
this isn't his peak? It probably
seems to Penguins' opponents that
Lemieux. now in his 12th season,
has been around forever, hut in most
sports he would he in his prime. It
also helps that the Penguins are a
considerably younger, quicker and
faster skating team than the one
Lemieux left behind in April 1994.
Convinced the NHL was serious
about eradicating the clutching-and-
grabbing style that was enabling
mediocre players to control the
game's stars. Penguins general man-
ager Craig Patrick traded off or let
most of the team's aging players leave
in the off-season: Kjell and Ulf
Samuellson. Larry Murphy. Kevin
Stevens. |oey Mullen.

V'ball hopes to continue streak
against top Atlantic 10 rivals
By Chris Stamm
Collegion Staff
The last time the Massachusetts
volleyball team dropped a match was
Oct. 7th. That is almost a month
since Bonnie Kenny's squad has suf-
fered a loss.
Since then, the Minutewomen
have been on an amazing nine-game
win streak, moving them up into
third place in the Atlantic- 10 after
riding out the majority of the season
in fourth. With an impressive 2D-9
overall record and an even better
11-4 mark in the A-10.
Massachusetts would like nothing
more than to spike its way to a con-
ference championship over
Thanksgiving weekend on their home
court. With only five matches
remaining in the season, this seems
like a reasonable task.
However, this weekend UMass
finds itself smack dab in the middle
of an A-10 sandwich as they face
second place George Washington
and fourth place Virginia Tech
tonight and Saturday.
It was the 1994 A-10 Champion
Colonials, in fact, that gave the
Minutewomen their last blemish in
the loss column on that day early in
October. GW coach Susan Homan's
squad dropped UMass in four that
dav narrowly edging them out 15-10.
15-12 and 15-12. Since then. GW

No. 2 team in the conference, now
standing at 20-5. 11-2 in the A-10.
The two losses coming from two
other teams at the top of the heap.
Rhode Island and Virginia Tech.
George Washington is led by last
year's A-10 Tournament MVP
Svetlana Vtyurina who boasts an
impressive .575 hitting percentage
connecting on 637 kills. With a sub-
stantial seven game win streak
behind them. GW looks to be tough
as ever. Looking at the last time the
two squads met. tonight's match
should be an out and out battle.
Elements of revenge aside, the
Minutewomen would like nothing
more than to boost their streak into
the double digits. As tournament
fever begins to boil. Kenny's squad
could be lethal if they can carry this
momentum into the Mullins Center
at the end of the month.
As for Virginia Tech. the last time
they met UMass. they dropped the
Minutewomen the day before the
GW loss. However, this match was
an up and down struggle that went a
full five games. In the end. the
Hokies reigned supreme winning
5-15. 15-5. 10-15. 15-7. and 15-9.
Even a quick glimpse at the score
card shows the irregularity of the
match If UMass wants this one.
they'll have to play a strong game
physically and mentally. The Hokies
now stand at 17-8 overall. <*-4 in the
A-10. While they may not have the
momentum or a record that jumps off
the iJage. thev cannot be counted out.
This is a huge weekend for the
Minutewomen. Though the season
doesn't end after Virginia Tech. as
UMass must still face first place,
undefeated Rhode Island, these two
matches will be a good measuring
stick.
Looking at their lineup.
Ma.ssachu setts has much more than
momentum at their back, junior out-
side hitter Giza Rivera has been a
major catalyst/offensive force since
her return from an ankle injury. She
is paired up with junior outside hitter
Dionne Nash, who became the first
woman with 1,000th career kills in
team history in last weekends
four-match sweep.
In the front, freshman setter Katie
Pearce has been a pillar of success.
Last week, the Seal Beach. Calif,
native averaged 12.78 assists per
game, raising her season average to
10.16. earning an impressive 59
assists against Temple. This, com-
bined with a career high 1 1 digs and

her the distinction of A-10 Rookie of

Bruins defense fails to protect lead
in overtime defeat to Red Wings
By HovMird Ulmon
Asiocioted Presi
BOSTON — Steve Yzerman. who missed a penalty
shot in the first period, scored on his own rebound
1:50 into overtime as the Detroit Red Wings overcame
a 5-2 deficit for a 6-5 win yesterday night over the
Boston Bruins.
Yzerman's 15-foot backhander from he left was
stopped by goalie Blaine Lacher. But Yzerman fol-
lowed up with a forehand that slipped between the left
post and Lacher's right arm for his fifth goal of the
season.
The Bruins led 5-2 midway through the second peri
od. but Detroit tied the game as it took the last 14
shots of the period and scored on three of them.
The Red Wings took the only four shots of overtime.
Boston couldn't capitalize on a double-minor penally
to Detroit's Paul Coffey with 12:40 left in the third
period. It took just one shot on goal before Shawn
McEachem's penalty 2:48 later evened the sides.
And after Bob Errey was sent off for boarding with
5:14 left in the third, the Bruins managed just two
shots as they remained scoreless on eight p«.iwer plays
in the game. Detroit entered the game ranked third in
the NHL in penalty killing.
The Bruins went ahead 5-2 at 9:55 of the second
period on Dave Reid's short-handed goal, their fourth
straight goal in a span of 6:09 But Mathicu
Dandenault's first NHL goal, on a power play, cut it to
5-5 at 10:19.
Boston still held a 22-1 1 lead in shots with six min-
utes left in the period. Then Detroit grabbed control
and tied the game on goals by IXtug Brown at 18: 10
and Darren McCarty 58 seconds later Boston's Ray
Bourque and Detroit's Nicklas Lidstrom had traded
first-period goals. The Red Wings had a chance to go
ahead 12:02 into the game when Yzerman was award-
ed a penalty shot alter Alexei Kasatonov fell on the
puck in Boston's crease. But Yzcmian shot the puck
directly into Lacher's pads.
Coffey did put Detroit ahead 2- 1 at 1 :22 of the sec-
ond, then Sieve Leach. Sieve Heinze and Ted Donato
scored in a span of 2:1)6 before Reid finished the four-
goal rally.
SENATORS y WHALERS 0
HARTFORD. Conn. — Ottawa rookie forward
Daniel .Alfredsson posted his first NHL hat irick and
Don Beaupre stopped 41 shots for his 17ih career
shutout yesterday night as the surprising Senators
defeated slumping Hartford 5-0.
Alfredsson opened the game's scoring at 5:56 of the
first period, connected again at 8:51 of the second
period and completed his lhree-p)al game at 7:40 of
the third period.
Mariin Straka and Radek Bonk also scored for the
Senators (6-5). who nwved over .500 for the llrsi time
this deep in a season since joining the league in 1992-95.
Beaupre stopped 21 shots in the opening period to
frustrate the Whalers (4-5-1). who were shut out for
the second straight game and third lime in five games.
It was also the second lime in franchise annals that
Hartford has been blanked in consecutive gami-s. The
Whalers have managed a league-low 20 goals in 10
games and have not scored since Nelson Emerson con-
nected at 2:27 of the third period in a 4 1 loss lo
Montreal on Oct. 27.
The Whalers, who opened the season at 40, contin
ued to struggle offensively. They are winless in ihcir

Kor the past two year^. the road to the women's
soccer Atlantic 10 Tournament Championship has
gone through Massachusetts and George
Washington.
Since women's soccer's inception into the A- 10
in mi), the two teams have met in both of the
championships, with the .Minutewomen taking
both titles by 2-0 (1993) and 2-1 ( NiM) scores.
This vear. the two teams will meet in the
semi-finals at 1:30 p.m.. following the II a.m.
match-up between Temple and Xavier.
"I was telling (GW coach] Shannon
Higgins-Cirovski all A- 10 roads lead through GW
or L'Mass. and here we go. Here it is."
Massachusetts coach jim Rudy said. "They are one
tough team, well coached. They've got a really
good vquad of players. I like their team very much
and I think they're going to give us. like usual, a
typical GW-UMass battle."
The Minutewomen enter the toumey as the No. 2
seed in the East behind the No. 1 seeded Temple

Owls. Temple handed UMass its first-ever A-IO bss
on Oct. 27. 1-0. Xivier captured the No. 2 seed in
the West behind the No. 1 ranked Colonials.
The Minutewomen beat GW 1-0 in their first
home game of the year (Sept. 8). In that game.
Rachel LeDuc netted the game-winner for UMass
off an assist by |ulie Magid. The semi-final
match-up should be a good one. and just as excit-
ing as the last rwo championship matches and the
game earlier this year.
"We've been fortunate. We've been on the win-
ning half so far." Rudy said. "There's been three
one-goal games. They're a very good side. I
respect them a lot."
"The Colonial Women are led by sophomore
Chemar Smith, the I9<M Atlantic 10 Rookie of Year,
who has eight goals and five assists for 2 1 points on
the year. Tanya V'ogel (seven goals and four assists
for 18 points). Amanda Simmons (six goals for 12
points) and Kristin Davidson (three goals, three
assists for nine points) are also threats to score.
GW keeper Danielle Doumey was outstanding
in the A- 10 final last year and has been solid again
this year. She has 51 saves and a 1.42
goals-against-average.
Temple (9-5-2. 4-1-1 in the A 10) and Xavier
(10-7-2. 3- 1-1) didn't meet during the regular
season. The Owls have been led offensively by Kim
Fitzgerald, who has 1 3 goals and six assists for a
team -leading 32 points.
Winsome Fritz (99 saves. 1.26 GAA) should get
the start in goal for the Owls.
"Temple is on a roll." Rudy said. "They've won
five or six in a row and they beat us. They've been
scoring some goals."
Xavier is led by Amanda Gruber (12 goals, five
assists for 29 points) and Ann Marie Hubbard
(120 saves. 1.52 GAA).
"Xavier's had its best year in a while," Rudy
said. "They have some attacking people who I
respect very much, that I think are quite good."
Also a threat to score for the Musketeers is
Susie Welch (four goals, seven assists for 15
points) and Colleen Savage (four goals, three
assists for 1 1 points).
"I feel like this is the best A-IO tournament so
far that we've had." Rudy said. "As long as we're

This is what you prepare for all season long. The reg-
ular season means nothing now. expect for the fact that
the teams that are here had a good one. The
Massachusetts men's soccer team is traveling to Rhode
Island this weekend to play in the Atlantic- 10 champi-
onship in an attempt to gain an NCAA tournament
birth.
Today at I 1 a.m. the No. 2 seeded Minuiemcn will
lake on No. 3 Xavier in the first game of the tournament.
The second game of the day is No. I Rhode Island
against No. 4 Virginia Tech. The winner of today's semi-
final games will pla> in the championship on Sunday at 1
p.m.
The Minutemen closed out their season on Sunday
with a 3-2 win over Temple to finish at 1 4-4-2 for the
year. 8-2-1 in the Atlantic 10 which enabled them to be
seeded second in the toumey.
Senior Brad Miller, junior Dave Siljanovski. and
sophomore Mike Butler were selected to the
All- Atlantic- 10 first team, and senior goal keeper Eric
Gruber received second-team All- Atlantic~IO honors
when the conference announced its postseason awards at
its annual banquet yesterday.
Siljanovski. the Minutemen's leading scorer this year

When the Massachusetts hockey
team returned from its hiatus two
years ago. it started its season against
Merrimack, The Warriors defeated
Massachusetts 8-2. The teams have
met four more times with the Hockey
East veterans defeating the newcom-
ers winning all four games.
But going into this weekend's
home-and-home battle. the
Minutemen think that things will be
different.
Coming off of a 6-3 win over
Army in the season opener last Friday
night, this year's Massachusetts team
is confident that it can make an
impact in Hockey East, and for the
Minutemen conference play starts
tonight against Merrimack at the
William D. Mullins Center.
Merrimack has not had as strong a
start to its season however. The
Warriors enter the game with a
record of 1-2- I (0-2-1 in Hockey
East), after suffering losses to
Providence and Northeastern.
Merrimack's only win came in a
non-league battle with McCill
University in Montreal,
Massachusetts coach foe Mallen
hopes to catch Merrimack stuck in its
downslide.
"I was saying before that having
four games under our belt would
really help them coming into our
building." Mallen said. "But momen-
tum has a lot to do with it. They
might be questioning themselves
coming in. They want to break out
against someone and we have to
make sure that they don't break out
against us.
"This would be a big win for us.
giving us five points in jhe league in
the first weekend of play." Mallen
said. "One of my sub-goals is to
beat everyone in this league at least
once."
The Warriors, who made waves in
the Hockey East postseason making
it to the quarterfinals, where they put
a scare into eventual national cham-
pion Boston University, only losing
by one goal.
The Warriors retum a talented unit
for the 1995-96 season, starting
from the net out. lunior goaltender
Martin Legault had an impressive
3.39 goals against average last year,
and is widely considered one of the
best goalies in the conference.
|oe Mallen said that his players
have a lot of respect for the
Gloucester. ONT native.
"Martin Legault has definitely
part of the difference of why we
haven't been able to beat them."
Mallen said. "He's very quick and
very smart. A lot of our players feel
he is one of the best goalies in the
league. We have to find a way to
beat him if we're going to beat
Merrimack."
On defense, the first thing you
notice is Merrimack's size. Dan
McKenna (6-foot-8. 225 pounds),
lohn lakopin (6-foot- 5. 225
pounds) and freshman Darrel
Scoville (6-foot-3. 195 pounds)
make up one of the conference's
most formidable units.
"They have a real good set of
defensemen," Mallen said. "McKenna
and lackopin are two of the biggest
defensemen in the league."
On offense, sophomore Martin
Larouche has been the Warriors' top
sniper so far this year with three
goals and one assist.
The Volpe Complex. Merrimack's
home arena has a smaller ice surface
than that at the Mullins Center.
Malllen said that the difference could
hinder the Warriors.
"I think that they like to play in the
small rink with a conservative style of
play." Mallen said. "I think they're
going to have trouble here."
Mallen said that for the home
opener, he will use a similar line-up
to the one he used against Army
including sophomore goalie Brian
Regan.
One positive that came from Army
was the school record five powerplay
goals. Mallen hopes that the produc-
tion can be repeated.
"One thing we really emphasized is
puck movement and passing and it
really paid off against Army." Mallen
said. "I'm anxious to see how it's
going to pay off against Hockey East
opponents. If we can. I think we'll be
effective."

The 1995 season has been a disap-
pointing one for the Massachusetts
field hockey team, but this weekend,
the squad has a chance to finish its
season on high note, as it heads to
Philadelphia for the Atlantic 10 tour-
nament ,
"Everyone is looking forward to
the loumamcnt and a chance to end
the season on a positive note," said
Massachusetts coach Megan
Donnelly. "We want to go into the
Spring and to next year with a gotxi
level of confidence."
The Minutewomen enter the tour-
nament as the No. 2 seed and will
face off against No. 3 Rhode Island
on Saturday, while top seeded St,
losephs will battle No, 4 Temple,
Originally it appeared that
Massachusetts would face host
Temple, whom was expected to be
the No, 3 seed, but URI's late season
victory over the Owls vaulted the
Rams into the No, 3 spot.
The Miiiulcwomen enter the con-
test never having been beaten by
Rhode Island, leading the all time
series 18 0, But Rhode Island has
other ideas for this year. In addition
to chasing their first ever Atlantic 10
tournament victory, the Rams would
like to beat Donnelly who coached at
URI for two years,
"One of the kids on the team said
that if they saw us again they would
kill us." said Donnelly, who refused
to reveal the name of the player,
Rhode Island enters the game com-
ing off a blowout victory over
Providence,
■Rhode Island is playing very well
right now. They're a very good team.
They're coming off a big win."
Donnelly said. "I don't think we're
going to have any trouble getting up
for this,"
It's going to be a matter of which
learn can keep their focus, I'm confi-
dent about us. If we come out and
play well, we'll be fine. If we come
out and have a lapse, we're going to
be in big trouble,"
The Temple/St, Joseph's match up
will be a spirited one, as the two
schools will slug it out for
Philadelphia bragging rights. Despite
the fact that they are only the No, 4
seed, the defending champion Owls

Maine next up for football
By Mike Brown
Collegian Staff
The Massachusetts football team looks to keep its
winning streak alive tomorrow, as they head north to
face the Maine Black Bears in a Yankee Conference
Match-up,
The Minutemen (5-3) are riding a
three game winning streak, due largely
to a couple of factors.
The first factor is the UMass run-
ning game. It has been phenomenal
the last three weeks with all-time
UMass rushing leader senior Rene
Ingoglia, junior Frank Alessio, and
redshirt freshman Matt Jordan accu-
mulating mass quantities of yards.
Most notably last week, the Minutemen
ground attack broke a school rushing
record for a single game, amassing 515
yards rushing, Alessio contributed 206,
while 1 74 came from lordan,
"The ground game is the basis of
our offense." said UMass coach Mike
Hodges. "And they gain 515 yards in
conditions like that,"
The muddy conditions like that is the second factor
to the Minutemen success, UMass has excelled in slop-
py field conditions so far this season. While the fans
and the laundry staff have not been as happy about the
mud bowls, the Minutemen have thrived the past three
weeks.
They have outscored their opponents by a combined
Matt Jordan
margin of 97-58. including a 33-9 win at Buffalo, a
20-9 win over William & Mary and last week's 44-36
win over Lehigh.
"I hope it doesn't rain, because I don't want people
to think we're winning just because of the weather."
Hodges said. "I'm sick of answering those questions, I
hope we get a nice day."
The Black Bears come into tomor-
row's match-up with a 2- 6 record.
Maine has gone two consecutive games
without scoring a single point, receiv-
ing spankings from both New
Hampshire (21-0) and Delaware
(61-0).
Maine tailback Andre Pam has been
the key to the Black Bear offense, rush-
ing for 818 yards and four touchdowns
this season. He is also a dangerous
retum man, averaging 21,4 yards per
kick retum, and returned a kick-off 94
yards for a touchdown in a game against
Div. II Lockhaven,
Quarterback lohn Tennet has com-
pleted 68 of 1 39 passes for 645 yards this
season for Maine, but freshman Mickey
Fein (13 for 34, 89 yards) is expected to start tomor-
"Mainc is very physical, very big. They are a very
capable team. They are third in the conference in rush-
ing, and they use two quarterbacks," Hodges said,
'"They are a tough team, like all the teams in the confer-

Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin

UMass students paid their respects to assassinated Israeli Prime Minister Yitrhak Rabin by holding a candle-lit vigil at Hillel house last night
I Students gather at Hillel sponsored vigil to remember Prime Minister
By Roteonn Cohen
Collegion Correspondent
Last night, amidst the brisk, cold November
wind, bundled up in layers of clothing, stood a
group of students, with lit candles in hand, who
came together al Hillel ffousc to mourn the loss of
Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, assa.ssinated
Saturday evening. ^^^— — ^_^__
Rabin was allegedly shot by
a 27 year-old Israeli law stu-
dent, while leaving a pro-peace
celebration in the Kings of
Israel Square.
About 40 University of
Massachusetts students gath-
ered for a short candlelight
vigil held last night and voiced
their shock, sadness and con-
cerns over the assassination.
People felt great disappoint-
ment that a member of the
lewish community could com-
mit such an act against another
member,
"It is sad to think that the leader, whatever one
thinks of his political views,,, was cut down by
assassination, that is not the way we resolve things
in the lewish world," said Hillel Rabbi Saul
Pc'lmutler. addressing ihc group.
While some students were shocked that Rabin
was killed by a fellow lew. others were not as
"It is sad to think that
the leader, whatever
one thinks of his politi-
cal views. . . was cut
down by assassination,
that is not the way we
resolve things in the
lewish world, "
- Rabbi Saul Perlmutter
stunned, given the fact that a number of jews had
felt betrayed by Rabin when he gave over lewish
land in the West Bank to the Palestinians in an
attempt to build peace with the Arabs.
"There are people who opposed him; he had
been receiving death threats in the past." said Marc
Assa, a vice- president in Hillel. "It saddens me to
sec that a jew would kill another lew because of a
political disagreement, and even more thai a lew
^^^__^^___ would kill another lew because
he fought for peace,"
This is the first political
assassination Israel has ever
experienced in its 48 year his-
tory,
"Today we come together to
mourn the death of a great
man. who fought his whole
entire life for peace," said
Hillel President |aime Rcsnick.
"But we also come together to
work within the lewish com-
munity, and to work within
ourselves, Before we can have
peace within the Middle East
and peace around the world,
we need to come together as one."
Many students compared the devastating sense
of loss felt in Israel after Rabin's assassination to
the mood of the country after the assassination of
President lohn F, Kennedy,
"What lohn F, Kcnneciy meant lo Americans is
probably similar lo what Yitzhak Rabin meant to
the people of Israel." said Alan Weinficid, past
president of Hillel.
Others were reminded of what happened to
Anwar Sadat, who had been instrumental in the
Camp David Accords, slain 14 years ago because
he was seen by some as a traitor lo his people.
"Yitzhak Rabin was a man of courage. He didn't
necessarily take positions that brought him popu-
larity, but they were ones (or which he was willing
to give his life for," Rabbi Saul PeHmulter said,
Perlmutter al.so spoke of how Rabin had changed
over the years, from military general lo negotiator
of peace, "His overriding values jwerej security for
Israel, and at one time in his life he fell that the
way to get security was by military power,., but
what we can learn from the lessons of his life is
that we don't resolve conflicts by violence, but
through talking, can peace begin to be acquired,"
he said.
Students quietly reflected on this, as they stood
in a circle outside Hillel. Songs of peace and broth-
erhood were sung in Hebrew, and the Mourner's
Kaddlsh — the lewish prayer for the dead — was
recited. One by one, students placed their candles
in the middle of the circle, remembering the coura-
geous achievements one man had made, praying
for peace within the lewish community, the Middle
East and within the world.
Gatherers were encouraged to come inside for
further discussion of the assassination and plans
(or future events by Hillel. People are invited to
attend another vigil tonight at the lewish

World leaders vow to continue Rabin s peace plan
By Dirk Beveridge
Associated Press
LONDON — The most filling trib-
ute to Yitzhak Rabin would be to
continue his quest for peace in the
Middle East, world leaders said
Sunday as they mourned the slain
Israeli prime minister.
Rabin, who won the Nobel Peace
Prize in 1994 for making peace with
Palestinians, was shot lo death
Saturday night by a right-wing Israeli
after speaking at a peace rally in Tel
Aviv.
"Yitzhak Rabin himscK always
emphasized that the opponents of the
peace process should never be
allowed lo stop the process with vio-
lence, no matter how loathsome."
said Swedish Prime Minister Ingvar
Carlsson, "In our dejection, this is ihc
message we must carry with us,"
Pope lohn Paul II expressed hope
thai "this serious and sad event will
not irreparably disturb the search for
peace in the Middle East, but on the
contrary will be a new stimulus,"
The pope ended his regular Sunday
remarks from his window overlook-
ing St, Peter's Square with the words:
"Peace, Shalom,"
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak
mourned Rabin as man who fell from
"treacherous bullets at the hands of
extremists who are enemies of
peace,"
But hard-line opponents of Rabin
called his death by gunfire a fitting
end for the old Israeli war hero. The
Libyan government news agency |ana
described Rabin as a terrorist whose
"hands were covered in the blood of
the martyrs."
Iranian President Hashemi
Rafsanjani called the assassination
"God's warning to humanity,"
"According to a principle of belief,
we believe thai whoever unsheathes
the sword of tyranny will be killed by
the same sword," Rafsanjani said,
according to Iranian radio.
Condolences flooded into Israel
from all parts of the world, from
presidents and monarchs alike,
Rabin "was aware of the danger to
his life," said German Chancellor
Helmut Kohl, "But for him it was
important that every chance was used
to finally bring peace for the people
of the region that was affected by so
much suffering,"
President |ulio Maria Sanguinctti
of Uruguay decreed two days of
national mourning for Rabin, calling
him "a great statesman, a courageous
military man and a dedicated democ-
rat,"
Russian President Boris Yeltsin,
recovering from heart troubles in a
Moscow hospital, called the assassi-
nation: "an attempt to rip apart the
movement toward peace in the
Middle East, and push the Middle
East into an abyss of bliKxl and suf-
fering."
French President lacques Chirac
look a hopeful note in a telegram lo
Israeli President Ezer Wcizman: "I
am sure that his sacrifice will not
have been in vain and that his work
will be carried on successfully by
those who have the heavy task of
leading your country towards peace
in a reconciled Middle East,"
South African President Nelson
Mandela hailed Rabin as "a true
peacemaker who has fallen at the
hands of forces of blind bigotry" and
offered lo do what he could to a.ssist
the Middle F,ast peace process,
"This criminal act, which we con-
demn in the strongest terms, can only
have been carried out by those who
have no interest in the genuine wel-
fare of the Israeli and Palestinian
peoples." Mandela said,
Asian reaction was more muted,
but echoed the need to continue the
peace process.
"The Middle East peace process
must not falter now." said Philippine
President Fidel Ramos.
"I sincerely hope that the prime
minister's strong will toward peace
will be taken over by the Israeli peo-
ple," said lapanesc Prime Minister

The assassination — th«r first of an
Israeli leader since the founding of
the slate in 1948 — stunned the
nation. World leaders from President
Clinton to Yasn-r Arafat reactcti with
sorrow and outrage, declaring that
the peace process would continue,
Israeli children began their school
day Sunday by standing in silent
mourning,
Rabin. 7}, had descended from a
city hall balcony and was about to get
into his black Cadillac limousine
when the gunman fired three bullets
from close range, hilling him in the
back and stomach As crowd mem-
bers surged toward the shooting
scene. Rabin's car raced lo Tel Aviv's
Ichilov Hospital Rabin arrived
unconscious, without pulse or blood
pressure.
Israel TV showed the gunman,
identified by police sources as Yigal
Amir. 27. pinned against a wall by
dozens of police The sources said
Amir was seized with pistol in
hand, had confessed to shooting
Rabin and lold investigators that he
didn't regret it. In recent weeks.
Rabin had repeatedly voiced con-
cern about growing political vio-
lence in Israel and accused the
right-wing opposition - which
believes he is betraying lews by
handing land back lo the Arabs —
of inciting explosive rage against
him. The rally was designed to
show that despite noisy anti-Rabin
protests, many Israelis support the
peace moves of Rabin, who shared
the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize with his
foreign minister and PLO leader
Yasser Arafat.
I ike Anwar Sadat, the Egyptian
leader shot to death in 1981, Rabin
died at the hands of radical country-
men opposed lo peace efforts. His
policies, especially his autonomy
agreements with the Palestinians,
have deeply divided Israel,
Right-wing demonstrators routine-
ly denounced Rabin as a "murderer"
and "traitor," At a recent rally, pro-
testers held up posters of Rabin in a
Nazi uniform.
Right-wing extremists who gath-
ered briefly at the hospital con-
demned Rabin, even while he was
Hghling for his lite, "Rabin is a mur-
derer!" they shouted.
Hut hundreds of others wailing
outside the hospital burst into tears
when Rabin's top aide, Eilan
Haber. announced that Rabin had
died.
At the site of Ihc shooting, the
Kings of Israel Square in Tel Aviv,
young Israelis sat on the ground,
weeping. Some lit candles, while
others sang the "Peace Song."
which the crowd had sung at the
rally.
Foreign Minister Shimon Peres,
who had stood alongside Rabin at the
rally, later noted that even the often
shy and withdrawn Rabin had joined
in song. "It was a happy day in his
life, probably the happiest day in his
life." Peres said.
Government officials said there
might be some delays in implement-
ing the West Bank autonomy agree-
mcnl with the Palestinians as Israel
deals with its domi-slic problems.
However. Peres. 7 5. named as
caretaker prime minister early
Sunday, told the nation he would
continue on Rabin's path. "There is
nothing else we can do. as com-
rades, as friends but to continue
along a great road paved by a great
leader." Peres said, fighting back
tears.
Peres could cither form a new gov-
ernment, or serve out the govern-
ments term until elections scheduled
in October 19% A state funeral was
scheduled for Monday in lerusalcm.
According lo lewish tradition, burial
should take place by the sunset of the
day following ihe death, but the
funeral was delayed until 2 p,m, on

On Sunday. Rabin was to lie in slate outside the
Knesset, Israel's parliament.
"Peace must be and peace will be Prime Minister
Rabin's lasting legacy." Clinton said in Washington.
Arafat, the PLO chief, said he was shocked "by this
awful, terrible crime." He said he hoped that "all of us,
Israelis and Palestinians, will have the ability to over-
come this tragedy against ihe peace process."
Peres, the driving force behind the peace agreements
with the Palestinians, has been more dovish than
Rabin, his long-time political rival. The two had put
their rivalries aside over the past three years and
worked as a team.
The Rabin shooting is expected to trigger a crack-
down on far-righi extremists. Security forces say they
number about 200 to 500.
In recent weeks. Rabin's security had been tightened
because of extreme right-wing rhetoric vowing an all-
out effort to stop Israel from handing the West Bank to
Arafat's government.
But Rabin had refused heavier security, fearing he
would be isolated, according to Ehud Sprinzak. a pro-
fessor of political science al Hebrew University.
"For 27 years. I was a military man. I fought all the
time. There was no chance for peace. 1 believe that
now there is a chance for peace and we must take
advantage of it." Rabin said at the peace rally
Saturday. "This government decided to give peace a
chance."
He was about to get into his car when the gunman
fired. Noam Kedem. a 26-year-old lawyer from Tel
.Aviv, said he heard two or three shots and "I saw
Rabin holding his stomach. I don't know exactly
where he was shot, but he was holding his whole body
and then he fell on the ground." He said security men
hovered over him and then two more shots were fired.
The susfuxt. Amir, was quickly caught. Israeli radio
and TV reports said he was a law student from
Herzliya. near Tel Aviv, who had been involved in
right-wing causes, including setting up illegal settle-
ments in the West Bank.
A previously unknown lewish extremist group, iden-
tified only as "ine." had claimed responsibility in an
announcement given to Israeli police reporters.
Group cleans almost 6 tons o{ garbage
By Dove LoFontono
Collegion Staff
A group of Five-College students and local citizens
braved the cold weather on Saturday to clean a section of
Cushman Brook in Amherst.
Thirty people, led by a team of Water Watch volun
leers, removed approximately 1 2.000 pounds of glass and
debris from an old farmer's dump near Puffer's Pond.
Members of the group also worked to remove fallen trees
that were restricting the water flow.
The Saturday clean up was the third of its kind in the
Amherst/Northampton area, the fourth in western
Massachusetts, and was the biggest success to dale,
according to coordinator jai Sood.
"We collected two tons of garbage each time out
before." he said. "This time we were closer to six."
The garbage consisted mostly of glass, metal and rub-
ber. The glass was mainly concentrated in one area, with
broken shards buried several inches into the lop soil.
"When we arrived al the sile. the amount of trash
didn't appear that bad," said Water Watch member Craig
Nelson. "It wasn't until we took a closer look in the water
and on ihe banks, then we saw all the glass."
The group had lo rake through the dirt to find all the
trash, place it in bags and haul oui refuse which weighed
close to 150 pounds per bag. Most volunteers said ihey
realized early on that the project would not be finished in
one day.
"We hope to come back in the spring to finish cleaning
the Cushman site." said clean-up coordinator Jeremy
Mailloux.
Cleaning will become easier after the spring rains
expose more of the garbage, according to coordinator
jessyca Harris. The group removed trees from the water to
help the flow of ihe brook.
"The trees in the water narrowed the brook," Mailloux
said. "This left potential for erosion on the opposite
bank."
The group used a chainsaw and pick-axes to cut
through the lumber and din damming the water.
The Water Watch Program is an organization started by
MASSPIRG, and is funded by an Americorps grant. The
Americorps Program was intended lo be a "domestic
Peacecorps." having students perform community service
in exchange for educational grants.
Locally, the program has centered iiself in Boston.
Worcester. Hartford, and in Amherst. MASSPIRG is run-
ning a Water Watch program in Springfield, and com-
bined, the Western Massachusetts Water Watch groups
have collected sixteen ions of garbage from different sites
thus far.

Group replaces ads with radical flyers
By ANison Connolly
Collegian Stoff
A group of students look part in a "guerilla action"
Thursday night, in order lo "remove private interests from
a public space."
Spokesman for the anonymous group. Kenneth Miller
of the Radical Student Union, said the University of
Massachusetts should prohibit big corporations from pro-
moting their products on stale-run campuses.
"This is a school where corporations shouldn't be."
Miller said.
The group was composed of students representing a
diversity of organizations, each bringing those agendas to
action that night.
The students, numbering between 10 and 15. went to
campus buildings such as Herter and School Of
Management and look down all credit card advcriise-
menis from the classroom bulletin boards. They replaced
the ads with student flyers for Prisoner Awareness Week
and their Tabula Rasa agenda.
The advertisements were mailed back lo their respec-
tive credit card companies. The group stamped the return
mail with their own message. "Private interests out of
public space." What couldn't be mailed was put into a
shopping carriage and marched lo the Chancellor David
K. Scon's office Friday morning. However, the Chancellor
was out of the country lor the week.
Miller was also outspoken on the exploitation of third
world countries. He said students should be active here in
the United States because ihcy are pRUccted by the laws,
whereas those living in Chile, for example, cannot even
photocopy flyers without a license.
"As radicals, we know the third world is being exploit-
ed." Miller said. "What rights we do have wc should exer
cise. If we don't exercise them, ihey will K' taken away.
The bulletin boards are an example of that."
The group hopes to stage similar demonstrations in the
future.
"It makes people fe«l empowered so they come out and
do it," Miller said. "This is an education in proieciing our
rights, the most important class you can lake this semester."

Durfee Gardens receive award
By Amy Roih
Collegian Correspondent
The American Society of
Landscape Architects recently
selected Durfee Gardens for its
1995 Honor Award, the society's
highest av^ard for landscape design,
given annually lo the most signifi-
cant new landscape in the country.
Durfee Gardens can be spotted
from afar by its 1 8-fooi tall tluores-
cent pink trellises. The gardens were
designed to demonstrate remnants
of the agricultural college which
originated in the 1860s. in which
Durfee Conservatory was included.
The gardens have gone through,
and continue lo go through a series
of renovations. The first stage
involved making a new sidewalk on
North Side and Slockbridge Rd .
the location of the gardens
Five interlocking garden spaces
were also constructed as a pari of
this stage These spaces include a
turf garden and perennial bc-ds. an
enclosed ancient grove oi beech,
swevi gum and ginkgo irces. a new
court like entry lo the conservatory,
a series of paths between espalierc-d
apple trees, and a terrace nestled
between two large lri.vs. overlooking
the perennials and the turf garden.
"Being selected lor this design
award is a great honor." said IX'an
Cardasis. chief designer ol the pro-
ject, and associate professor of
landscape architecture. "It means
we've successfully competed with
some of the largest and best esiab
lished corporate offices in the
world, and provided our campus
with one of Ihe most important
new landscapes in the country."
Several undergraduate and grad
uutc students participated in the
renovations. Cardasis said, includ-
ing the Slockbridge Landscaping
Contracting Company, which
helped to build the new entrance.
Summer internships are available
lor Slockbridge students who want
lo work on the gardens, he added.
Cardasis said thai student help is
welcome since the gardens require
i.iinslant maintenance.
'like a child, (the garden)
jlways needs care." he said. "You
can't care for it here and there, or
just drop it all together. Il needs
constant attention."
The value of the gardens also
extends beyond their historical pur-
pose, according lo Cardasis.
'{The gardens) were desigiKd lo
provide us with a place lo sil and
read a book or stroll and catch
some rays, lo just enjoy being out-
doors, and for special events and
iKcasions — weddings, recitals and
receptions," he said.
Bulger looks for UMass presidency,
five senators back successor for seat
By den Johnson
Aisocioled Press
BOSTON — Five stale senators who failed in their bid
to unseat Senate President William Bulger lasl year have
decided to back Sen. Thomas Birnnngham as Bulger's
potential successor. That makes the Chelsea Democrat the
most likely heir if Bulger — as expected steps down lo
head the University of Ma.ssachusells.
"It's over." said one of the "Keating Five." so-called
because of their leader. Sen. William Keating (O-Sharoni
"There's not even going lo be a contest. This is going lo
be a slam dunk for Birmingham."
The other person who had been hoping lo succeed
Bulger. Senate Majority Leader Louis Berlona//.i
(D-Milford), indicatc-d Saturday that he had lost the fight
and was prepared lo line up behind Birmingham.
"I'm still wailing lo hear back from some people .
Whatever action I take will be in the K-sl interest of the
Senate, but I really can'l comment." Berlona/zi said.
Senate sources, who spoke only on condition ol
anonymity for fear of retribution, said the lally currently
stands al 18-1 1 in favor of Birmingham They expected al
least two more senators to leave Berlonaz/i's camp now
that the Keating Five have made iheir pick
A senator needs 21 votes — a majority ot the 40 mem-
ber body — lo become president. Bulger, who has held
Ihe job for an unprecedented 1 7 years, is not expected lo
vole on his successor, dropping the number of voles need
ed to 20
The Senate president has great impact on the stale's
residents, because the president controls the How of legis
lalion through the chamber. His view on a project can be
the difference between whether il gels funded or dies in
committee
Who supports the president also is impurtant. because
K>lh the Senate president and the speaker of the Fknise
control everything from a legislator's commillec assign
menis lo his or her office assignment in the Slalehouse. In
the past. Bulger's opponents have been relegated lo the
sub basement or the attic.
Bulger reportedly mel with Binningham and Bertonazzi
Phursday nighl and told them they were free lo pursue the
voles lo succeetl him. Bulger. 61. is one of the finalists to
be the nexl UMass president. A presidential .search com
millee could vote as early as next Friday lo recommend
his appiiintmenl
Bulger's go-ahead touched off a series of phones call*
between Birmingham and Bertonazzi and iheir support-
ers Both men had about a dozen supporters each.
Then, on Friday. Keating mel with his group and ihey
decided to back Birmingham, the sources said, joining
Keating in the bloc are Sens. Michael W Morrisscy
(D Ouincy); lois d Pines (D-Newton); Warren
Tolman ( j> Waterlown); and Dianne Wilkerson
(D Boston) Also. Sen. Mark Montigny. (D-New
Bedford), reportedly agreed to vole with the Keating
Five.
IjisI year the group and 12 political supporters ran for
the Senate on the promise that they would vole lo oust
Bulger as president, complaining that he was autocratic .
Keating and the other four incumbents won rc-cleclion.
but the 12 newcomers all lost.
The Senate, however, did enact some of their recom-
mended relorms. including televised sessions, an end to
lame duck sessions - - which lasl year produced a legisla-
tive pay raise and an eight-year term limit for the
Senate president.
If Birmingham succeeds Bulger, il would cap a swift
nse lo power.

Thanksgiving, UMass style
Thanksgixing is coming up later on this month. And
in the spirit of the holiday, the University has
decided to make international and out-of-state
students homeless for four days.
Yup. you read it right. In the usual manner, the
University has announced that all the residence halls on
campus will shut down for four days. The change this year
is that the University is not offering alternate housmg. In
the past, the University allowed inter ^^— — ^^— __
national students and those who live
more than 2'>0 miles from UNiass to
stay in the Campus Center Hotel for
free Of course, students had to apply
for these spaces and most students
either went home or went home with
a roommate.
This whole situation stinks like the
Campus Kind As a resident assistant.
I vk'as stuck with the job of having to
tell my international students they
were out of luck and had to make
other arrangements for the four days.
The hurt and confusion several stu
dents have experienced has come out
of the way in which the decision was
made and communicated to students
The University's resp\.>nse to the complaints was that
the cost fcir putting up these students was approximately
$50,000 and the general feeling of the 'department
heads' was why use $50,000 for only some students,
when it could be used for something else that would help
all students.
On three dilferent levels, politically, professionally and
pcrsi.inally. these actions are very disturbing. Politically.
what the University is effectively telling international stu-
dents is that Thanksgiving is our holiday and you will suf-
fer the consequences Americans, and their ways, will
push you cnit of the way once again. We will be as unac-
commodating to you as possible, but you'll need to find a
place to stay for four days, and you'll need to pay for it
c>ut of your own pocket (Never mind the fact mtemalion-
al students are rarely allowed to work while they're here."
Nationalism. .American pride, blah. blah. blah. blah.
What it boils down to is were telling international stu-
dents we don't care about them or value their input or
concerns — only ourselves.
Professionally, the decision has left students with little
or no time to find an appropriate place to stay. By
announcing it to the residence life staff on Oct. I <» arid the
rest of campus on Nov I. the University has left less than
a month for students to either find someone to go home
with or scrape the cash together to get a hotel room The
University distributed paper* to everyone who lives in the
residence halls saying students had to find their ow-n place
to stay Listed on the back is a list of kval motels and
hotels — the cheapest is $5'^ a night, and most more than
$45. This means that the student is minimally pulling out
$l5t< for the room, plus tax. plus food (because the dining
halls are closed*, plus whatever it lakes to go from place
to place (buses don't run very often during holidays*.
Most students will pay $200-5500 to slay in .Amherst
over Thanksgiving.
What else is the University implying? To out-of-state
Politically, what the
University is effectively
saying to international
students is that
Thanksgiving is our
holiday and you will
suffer the conse-
quences.
Marni E. Helfner
students, who pay up to SI 7.000 a year to go to school
here, their money is wanted so long as it is paying the
salaric-s of University employees, but don't ask us to pro-
vide you with housing 5.000 miles from home. If
Thanksgiving is supposed to be a holiday about being
with one's family, loving thy neighbor and helping those
less fortunate than oneself, why is the University kicking
out students who are so tar from their homes and fami-
_^_^.^^^^ lies'.' Oh. that's right, we want your
money for luition. fees and housing,
but don't ask us to do anything
remotely close to human decency. For
independent students, some GLBT
students, and students with bad
familial relations, their room is their
home — kick them out. and let them
feel a little more alone, unwanted and
estranged.
On a personal level. I was affected
by all these things. I got stuck telling
residents there would be no place for
ihem for Thanksgiving. The only part
of my family I have contact with is
2.500 miles away in Wyoming. I do
not have the money to get a hotel
rtvm. Resident assistants are paid $2t>.88 a week (most
of us use this to eat) and with less than a month to scrape
about $200 together. I had to scrounge for a place to stay.
I put the word out to everyone I Jcnew- that I needed a
free place to stay or I was homeless and living on a couch
in the Campus Center for four days. Lucky for me. people
came out of the woodwork to offer me a place to stay or
some sort of accommodation. "You can stay here
Thursday and Friday." "You can dogsit for me while I'm
away." "My partner and I have a huge house. We're taking
in GLBT students who don't have a place to stay for
Thanksgiving.' and "Come home with me and hang with
my family." were all things people offered to me.
What could have the University and Housing services
done differently to make sure this confusion and hurt
didn't occur' One. don't take away the free housing —
students rely on a system that seems to fail them more
and more regularly. Two. if you're not going to offer the
free housing, spell it out to students as soon as possible
— over the summer or before students even leave for
the summer. Merely excluding the Thanksgiving housing
from the Housing Contract does not mean people will
know about it. ^ou must sign a contract in order to get
regular housing Who isn't going to sign it'' Three, tell
students how that $50,000 is going to help students
(And I don't mean a raise for University
Administrators.*. Where is it going, and is $50,000 real-
ly that much money to spend on making students
happy? Four, and most importantly, before you make a
decision, consider the effects it will have on students
and their views of the University. Consider the human
side of things and how people will deal with your deci-
sion.
I got lucky this lime. I got angry, and I got a place to
stay. Scime. and most students in the same position, may
not be so lucky. Now. they know the true meaning of
Thanksgiving.

Nicknames make for multiple identities
Tim
White
Ilove nicknames.
If I know that someone has
a nickname. I will call them by
that so much. I have been known
to forget their real name.
There are some good nicknames
out there. Mine is pretty simple.
people call me "Whitey" a lot —
simpK because of my last name. I
am actually the
third in a generation
of "Whitcy's"
Hence the reason
some people call me
"Little Whitey" or
"Whitey jr." Man. I hate that.
We call one of my friends
"Marcy." He's a guy. The reason
we call him that is because his real
name is Marc, with a "c" not a "k."
I made a simple joke about that
once and it has stuck for four
years PcH.ir kid.
On the flip side. I have a friend
wc call "Chuck." She's a woman
I'm really not sure why we did that
to her.
There's "Munch." an abbreviated
version of her ndiculously long last
name "Pooh-bear" marks another
Iriend ot mine — it's really only a
nickname wc use to taunt him. lor
obvious reasvms.
One of mv housemates goes by
several nicknames, but the most
popular is "B K." because of his
infatuation with fast- food Thai
nickname will change if he. for
example, leaves ihe dcvr unkKkcd.
then it changes to "IcKksmilh" for a
few days, or "Syhania" because he
has a habit of keeping the lights on.
One of my friend's girlfriend's
nickname is "Digger" because she
used to work for a funeral home.
That just sort of speaks for itself.
I work with a guy we coined
"Sergeant." mainly because of his
manner with other people and his
presence in a room.
He's a bouncer
though, so the nick-
name is effective.
There's a buddy of
mine who's a cop.
everyone calls him "McGruff the
Crime Dog" or "GrufP for short . . .
I don't know if people really know
his first name.
.Another friend of mine I call
"E.T." because her toes are longer
than her fingers. She hates it when
I call her that in front of her
boyfriend.
Most of us in the family give my
little sister a different nickname.
My oldest brother calls her "Phil."
my other brothA' calls her whatev-
er he feels like (like "Slinky" or
"Nerdling"! and I call her "Kid." In
10 years we'll probably be wonder-
ing wh> she has split personalities.
Mv brother's friends have some
real whoppers. Here are some of
my favorites: Scrambler. Fetus.
G-Money. Wheal Bread. Warper.
Boomer. Com. Meal. '^'oda. Pipes.
Mugsy. Trike. Flymgy and Guppy.
Sounds like a circus freak show
li seems in their generation.
"Spider" was a popular one — they
have two friends with that nick-
name. For that reason, they identify
them by adding their first name to
the end: there's "Spider Mike" and
"Spider Steve." Doesn't that kind
of defeat the purpose?
Another acquaintance of theirs is
"Cosmo." 't'ou know what the
funny thing behind that is? It's his
real name That is exactly how his
birth certificate reads. When you
have a name like "Cosmo." a nick-
name would just be insulting.
If someone doesn't already have
a ni'ckname. I give ihem one
depending on the circumstance.
Using the word "rock" is extremely
common with me... be it "rock-
star' or "rocker' or "hardrocker"
or 'pumprocker" or "freerock." I
use it all. If someone is sick. I'll call
ihem "scurvy" or "jungle-rot." If
someone is asking too many ques-
tions, they get labelled "Harry
Crumb." "Magnum. P.I." or
"Colombo." Someone who answers
all those questions is "professor" or
"Cliff Claven."
The reason I love nicknames so
much is because they give people a
personality. Given names are
good: Dave, lennifer. Herb.
Elizabeth, lohn. Mel. Pat. Frank...
but when you call someone
"Pickle-breath" or "Caffeine." you
pretty much know where they're
coming from.

The liberal double-standard
Over the years, the liberal left has been ill-turned by
the increasing productivity of the conservative
right. As the past has shown, liberal ideas have
had a tendency to bomb miserably In the wake of their
own disasters, liberals have chosen to tie the conservative
party to the whipping post of ugly and false cliches.
Liberals are so frightened by the awesome effectiveness of
the conservative party that they continually attempt to
damage the reputation of the right by any means.
Certainly the left will use no substantial or tangible evi-
dence to do so (Hence, the bed wetting whine of emotion
and childish name calling.). Conservatives are labeled as
racists, bigots, homophobes. fascists and so on.
According to the left, many of these notions (precon-
ceived of course) about the right arc
derived from talk radio. President Clinton
himself staled that talk radio had a propen-
sity to "spread hate" therefore causing vio-
lence. This conclusion was drawn with
regards to the Oklahoma City bombing
Talk radio should "tone down' its speech, cries the left
(Obviously they meant conservative talk radio and
speech.). What liberals have failed to do. among mounds
of other things, is realize they are the party guilty of "hate
speech." Perhaps they are the ones who need to "tone
down" their speech, especially that in the media. Here are
some irrefutable examples of liberal hate speech most of
which is vented towards the conservative party.

Participants make
rally successful
To the Editor:
I would like to send out a huge
thank you lo all who attended and
supported the Financial .Aid Rally
that tcH.ik place on Oct. 51 in Boston.
It was an enormous success. An
expected crowd of 700 students
state-wide soon turned into a mass of
approximately 1.500. Students gath-
ered in front of Government Center
to listen to speakers and watch
guerilla theater.
The group of over 50 colleges
state-wide then marched through
Boston towards the Republican head-
quarters on Stale Street. There, the
marchers rallied for the cause and
staged a sit-in which blocked all traf-
fic and attracted an attentive crowd.
The rally was staged to show the
student opposition to the federal bud-
get cuts of over $10 billion approved
last Thursday Although the cuts to
financial aid were dropped to S6 bil-
lion, it is still a huge blow to educa-
tion, considering over six million stu-
dents depend on this aid to attend
college and only one percent of the
entire federal budget is rationed lo
educalion.
Some students were dressed in
black, and fake coffins were carried
around lo commemorate this death of
education. The event was well cov-
ered by the media and the rally was
quite effective in getting the student
voice heard
Once again. I thank everyone for
helping us make the event such a suc-
cess.

TJie diminishment
of morals
To the Editor:
Henry David Thorcau. the wise
observer of natural and human
affairs, once wrote. "After the first
blush of sin comes its indifference."
That is. what first shocks our morals
quickly becomes tolerated. This
insight is highly relevant lo the state
of television and movies today. In
short, we have grown accustomed to
garbage.
If one had access to a lime
machine and iranspostxi your typical
citizen from say. 1960. lo the average
1995 living room, he or she would
think they were in a combination x-
raled movie theater and a para-mili-
tary programming center. The sad
facts are that graphic sexual scenes
and horrific slayings no longer dis-
gust us; in fact, they arc a growth
industry. And we can't blame the for-
mer Communists or the youth for this
one.
The result is a widespread desensi-
lization to violence. Murder on the
screen has become the apple pie of
the so- called entertainment industry.
All manners of psychological and
emotional malady are played out in
the daytime talk shows. Have we so
abandoned our moral bearings?
Some will argue that to clean up
such fare is censorship. One fears the
specter of some ethical thought
police monitoring everything. Bui
when our young people are exposed
to 18.000 acts of violence on TV' by
the time they reach 18. haven't wc
failed to let them savor the fleeting
innocence of youth? When sexual
union has become yet another illicil
affair, hasn't it grown debased?
Others claim that such shows
merely reflect what is occurring in
society. Yes. murder and mayhem
and affairs do happen. But by feeding
the citizenry a steady stream of them,
and often corrupting the youth in the
process, our belter instincts — our
capacity lo share and heal love — fal-
ter. And thus to nations decline.

Elastica connects with crowd

Mikcra's
Nov 4
SPRINGFIELD — Taking the
stage amidst flashing strobe lights
and a thick screen of smoke.
Britain's answer to power p>op took
the stage at Mikara's Saturday night.
Although the crowd had to wait
an extra half hour before the band
began with "Line Up." most people
will agree that it was well worth the
wait. Clad in black, lead singer and
ex-Suede member Justine Frisch-
mann led the quartet into a slew of
songs off their self-titled debut con-
tinuously keeping up the energy and
frenzy of the concert.
Citing influences by Blondie. the
Fall, Buzzcocks and the Clash, and
fresh off the Lollapollozar tour.
Elastica proved they were more than
just a pretty pop punk band riding on
the success of their countrymen Blur
and Oasis.
"This is a song about doing it in the
back of a car,' saU Frischmann before
cranking into the well popular "Car
Song." Before that they had played
"Annie" which Frischmann dedicated
to now ex-bassist Annie Holland.
In betwt-en songs she paused to com-
ment on how much the landscape
reminded her of England, though the
crowd shared a different opinion to her
inquiry. Back«l up by guitarist-singer
Dunna Matthews, songs like "2:1" and
"Smile" flowed from the instruments
and straight into the audiences ears
with plucky riffs, a driving bass and
Elastica played at Mikara's in Springfield on Saturday.
cuuauir iuiti.tN Tiuit
throbbing percussions.
According to Elastica, "Smile" is
about lying at home waiting for your
boyfrietui to come back and wonder-
ing whether or not he's okay. It's
smiling when he comes into the dcwr
and you wanted to smack and kiss
him at the same time. "2:1" is about
being brave when you're really not.
Tracks that really caught the crowd's
attention was "Stutter" a fast moving
song with a hooky bass, punk rock gui-
tars aixl a tongue twisting chorus that
had everyone moving (the song was
first released by Geffen as a four - song
maxi-single this past September).
The band also played two new-
songs, one that was inspired by an
Old English Christmas carol
"Ding-Dong Merry On High." Often
compared to their English forefathers
(The Clash, Wire and even Suede).
the band has proven that they have a
catchy techno-laccd sound that grabs
you and holds your attention.
It was their last song. "Connection."
that lauded the most screams and
whistles As soon as the opening gui-
tar riffs hailed its arrival, people were
already pushing forward trying to gel
closer to the charismatic band.
After five minutes of stomping,
screaming and clapping the more
than patient crowd was rewarded
with two encores which included
"Blue" a song that was created by
taking bits and pieces of words from
magazines.
Saturday's show proved that
Elastica has what it takes to be more
than just a flash in the pan In a long

Spencer adds flavor to Boss Hog sound

toss HOG
Boss Hog
Geffen
Mix Ion Spencer's bluesy
garage punk sound with
Christina Martinez's eclectic
vocal rar\ge, and you might gel
an idea of who Boss Hog are
and what they sound like.
After all. it was Martinez and
Spencer who led one of the
most influential New York art
rock outfits of the late eight-
ies. Pussy Galore.
In 1989. Boss Hog was
formed as a spur of the
moment thing and at their first
show at CBGB's Martinez
sang completely in nude. Their
eariy work was filled with lots
of noise along the lines of
Pussy Galore but now. several
years later and a couple
changes in there lineup. Boss
Hog are back with their major
label debut and their most
accessible release to date.
Opening the album is 'Winn
Coma.' with Spencer's mean guitar
hooks and Martinez's aggressive
vocals. On 'Sick." Martinez sounds
even more pissed off. singing "Sick
of old school sick of nev^'. sick of
things I used to do." Meanwhile,

"Believe" is the |on Spencer Blues
Explosion revisited with Spencer
singing "Ah Yeah" over one of the
most bluesy guitar licks of all time.
Then Martinez and Spencer
decide to get mushy on "I Idolize
You' which was done originally by
Ike and Tina Turner. While
Spencer sings "I idolize you" in
his '70s-style Mick lagger tone,
Martinez sings back lo him.
"Yes. yes you too" in a
fifties-school girl tone.
On the contrary. "Straw-
berry" is an all out garage rock
explosion which uses some
interesting sound effects that
Spencer can incorporate so well
into his songs as fans of the
blues explosion already know.
As a whole, the Boss Hog
record is a diverse one. In
addition to Spencer and
Martinez, drummer Hollis
Oucens and bassist lens
lurgensen make for an appro-
priate rhythm section.
Although the record has no
exact highlights, it flows as a
whole and is extremely cre-
ative in the art rock vain.
Although Spencer's bassy gui-
tar and overall coolness is all
over this record. Martinez is
still mostly upfront, making the
album a perfect showcase for her
singing and lyrical abilities. B

Collegion Corresponcient
A young and upcoming name in
the world of jazz will be appearing

his widely acclaimed acoustic quar-
tet, featuring the bare essentials in a
jazz combo; bass, drums, keys and
horn, Redman, a widely respected
but relatively new figure in jazz is
slated to give an exciting concert,
encompassing both original tunes
and well-known jazz standards.
Redman exploded on to the jazz
scene in 1991. winning the
Thelonius Monk Institute of lazz
Saxophone Competition. Two years
later, he released his self-titled
debut album. Following f>ositive
reviews and embracing various
music critics, the album immedi-
ately sold 30.000 copies within
four months of its release.
The sudden popularity hoisted
Redman's album up to the No. 5
spot on Billboard's jazz charts.
Redman followed this successful
debut with his second album.
Wish, in 1993. This album featured
several live tracks at the Blue Note
in New York, probably the most
widely recognized jazz club in the
world. These live tracks all owe the
listener lo hear Redman fulfilling
his dreams of playing in company
with several of this idols; alongside

to play with as many Irailblazers on

progressing through preforming
with them. He has played sidentan
gigs with Dave Brubeck, Chick
Corea. Larry Gol(iings, Herbie
Handcock. BB King. Christian
McBride and a wide variety of
other; almost too many to count.
Redman's wide array of musical
prowess allows him to hold his
own when playing with such jazz
gurus and one listen to his impro-

All of Redman's feelings goes
into his horn and the music that
comes out is truly jazz at its finest.
At a young age. Redman has
already established himself as a
notable jazz figure in high regard,
not only in the public eye. but in
the eyes of his music making peers.
As Charles Hadan put it. "He's
discovered his soul a lot more
quickly than most musicians do "

Amherst College's Macbeth impresses
By Suzanne Gallant
Collegian Cofrespondent
THf TRAGf or Of MACBETH KING Of SCOTLAND
Amherst College
Nov. 4
No final consensus has ever been reached on the exact
theme of Macbeth — it is just too complex Yet no pro-
duction can be considered more than adequate without a
substantial attempt to find the theme.
The Amherst College production took a step in the
right direction by emphasizing the imagery of the play
References to darkness and blood occur throughout
Macbeth; Ihe set and lighting of this production seemed to
have been designed with this in mind.
The role of Macbeth, played by Michael Medori. cer
lainly filled that requirement. Medori spoke Shakespeare's
language with ease and gave no hint of his ambitions until
the appropriate time. The qualities that make Macbeth a
"good" man. also bring about his downfall Mc-dori real-
izes this in his portrayal of Macbeth as inlHIJgent. coura-
geous, and affectionate towards his wife.
It is the latter characteristic that makes the ixile of Lady
Macbeth so crucial. In this production, she is played by
Paula Chrislensen. The physical size of l.ady Macbeth is
extremely important. Chrislensen is a frail, small person
and the strength of her performance lies in her ability lo
dominate her husband spiritually. She does this in a soft.
quiet voice and is even n>ore effective for it.
However, one of the production's major flaws was the
weakness of the supporting characters In the scene in
which Macbeth is visited by apparitions, and thus appears
to go insane, there is little or no reaction from the other
characters. A usually powerful scene became a comedy for
the audience. Actually. ihcTc were several momenis where
this happened.
The pace of the play was adequate, although scenes
between Malcolm and Macduff bgged. and the lines were
not spoken with any particular characterization The cos-
tumes were at best ineffectual and al times, silly.
Although traditional Shakespearean costume is not a pre-
requisite for a successful production, modem or symbolic
clothing should never distract the audience from the
action of the play. Hecate drew laughs with her silver
pants and plastic coat.
Despite these production flaws. Medori and
Chrislensen shone through with performances that saved
the play. A highlight of the evening was the combat scene
between Macbeth and Macduff, pityed by Andrew
McCain. Shakespeare underst(.K)d the need fi>r a dramatic
ending; I his paKJuction certainly needed one

self up. The snap and hold were pcri'eet. and Binder split
ihc uprights Irom 55- yards to give Maine the victory.
"The hold was good and I had the wind," Binder said.
"The field conditions were great. The crew did a great job
getting the field ready for this game."
"It's part of the game, everybody gels the same chance,"
Hodges said. "We blew ours and they didn't. They
deserved to win and we didn't."
Unlike the Minutemen's prior three-game win streak,
Maine entered the contest without scoring a single point
in either of its' previous two games including last
Saturday when Delaware shellacked them bl-0.
"I was concerned about last week, whether or not it wa~
going to carry on." Maine coach lack Cosgrove said.
"Obviously we were able to flush the thing and I couldn't
be prouder of the way we did it. It was (H) minutes of us
playing as hard as we could. The offense and defense com-
plemented each cither well."
Maine jumped out in front fiist. Pam capped off a
74-yard drive with a one-yard touchdown leap with 3:56
remaining in the first quarter.
Ingoglia then began to swap touchdowns with the
Black Bears. The Waller Payton Award candidate scored
all three Minutemen touchdowns on the day. passing tor-
mer BU running back Paul Lewis (322 points) as the
all-time Yankee Conference record for points by
non-kickers (326 careerl. Ingoglia finished the day with
1 25->ards rushing.
The Minutemen entered the game last in the nation in
the passing. The inclement weather of the past weeks
has kept the UMass offense on the ground. On this day
however, Catlerton displayed the ability to throw the
football, silencing all critics who believed his arm didn'i
work.
C'atterton attempted 10 passes, completing only five for
58 yards. While not e\actly an air show, it was a vast
improvement He also had a nice 2D-yard thruw intended
for freshman Kerry Taylor. The ball went in and out of the
tight end's hands, and was intercepted by the Maine
delense.
"We got some yardage through the air today and wc
have got to make the plays." Hodges said. "Nobod>
can afford to turn the ball over and we did. We ha\i.
got to get some things straightened out. We have an
opportunity to finish 7-4 and we are going to gel thai
done."
The Minutemen will travel to Boston Saturday, to face
the Boston University Terriers at Nickerson field. Kick-ofI
i^ scheduled for I p.m.
Justin Reimer and the Minutemen dropped to 5-4 on the season after their
Maine Saturday, 24-21.

Kansas City, Oakland claim wins
Chiefs 24. Redskins 3
KANSAS CITY. Mo. - The
Kansas City Chiefs picked a good day
to have an off game.
For one. they were home against
Washington, a team winless on the
road. For another. Redskins' quarter-
back Gus Frcrolte had his worst day
of the season as the Chiefs came off
their bye week with a 24-3 victory
that kept them atop the AFC with an
8-1 record. "We're pleased with this
victory, but we know it wasn't pret-
ty." wide receiver l.ake Dawson said.
The Chiefs, who fretted about los-
ing their momentum after taking
their bye week, weren't as sharp as
they had been while winning seven of
their first eight. They had more
penalty yards (72-441 and fumbles
(2-0) than the Redskins, and Steve
Bono, who had been averaging
almost 220 vards. hit 21 of 37 for
201.
"The problem was we just never
could put the game on ice in the sec-
ond half." guard Dave Szott said.
'Our timing just wasn't what it had
been. I hale bye weeks."
Bono's day included a 19-yard
scoring pass to Willie Davis after
Marcus .Allen's I -yard TD run as the
Chiefs opened a 17-3 halftimc lead.
Lin Elliot had a 38-yard field goal at
the end of the first half. The Chiefs
went up 17-3 at halftime but could
not put away the injury-weakened
Redskms (3-7) until Kimble Anders
broke loose on a career-long 40-yard
touchdown run with 2:26 left.
Frcrolte. without his lop two
receivers, hit only 1 1 of 34 for 140
yards. He was pulled for Heath
Shuler after misfiring on four straight
passes with the Redskins behind 17-3
early in the fourth quarter,
"He was frustrated by the rush,
and a lot of guys weren't getting
open." said Washington coach Norv
Turneraid. "When his frustration
level rose, he started missing some
guys that were open as it went on."
"A few I missed, a few were
droppc"d." said Frerotte. who came in
as the second-leading passer in the
NFL with 240 yards a game. "We just
couldn't get that big play to get us
over the hump." After taking their
own bye week, the Redskins return to
play Seattle on Nov. 19. Turner was
uncertain about his starter. Bono said
the offense sputtered at times.
"Obviously, there were too many
misses," he said. "But I thought the
timing was pretty good."
With the help of what amounted to
a 45-yard penalty against the
Redskins, the Chiefs scored on their
opening drive for the first time this
season. After Washington failed to
move on its first possession. Matt
Turk's punt died at the Chiefs 5.
But the Rc'dskins had to kick again
when called for an ineligible man
downfield. This time. Vanover
returned it 35 yards to the 50. Bono
hit Keith Cash for 16 yards and Allen
went up the middle for 10 as the
Chiefs marched 49 yards in nine
plays. On fourth and goal from the
one. Allen dived across for his 101 st
rushing TD. "It's good to have time
off." said Chiefs' center Tim
Grunhard. "But when you're on a roll
like we were you hate to take it.
When vou sit out a week, the edge
falls oil a little bit. But starling with a
touchdown in the first quarter gave
the guys a lift."
The Chiefs. 10 of 12 on fourth
downs this season, faced a fourth-
and-7 midway through the second
quarter from the Redskins 34. Bono
connected with Dawson for 12 yards
to the 22. Three plays later Davis
caught Bono's pass in the end zone
for a 14-0 lead. When the Redskins
got the ball on the Chiefs' 45 with
9:57 to play. Frerotte threw four
incomplete passes and was replaced
on the next series by Shuler. who lost
his job to Frerotte afier getting hurt
in the sea.son opener.
The Chiefs held Washington to 79
yards rushing.
The Redskins played without
injured receivers Henry Ellard and
Michael Westbrook. In addition,
guard Tre Johnson, who came back
after missing five of the last seven
games, went out in the second half
with a strained knee.
Tackle Ich; Phillips, thriving in the
Chiefs' new attack defense, pressured
Frerotte into an incompletion on a
third down play afier the Redskins
had driven to the Kansas City 12 in
the second quarter. Eddie Murray
then kicked a 29-yard field goal.
Raiders 20. Bengals 1 7
CINCINNATI — The Oakland
Raiders weren't brilliant or flashy,
just brutally effective.
The Raiders scrapped their high-
tech passing game in favor of some-
thing more suited to the weather
Sunday, and showed they can still
win with brute force. Harvey
Williams rushed for I 34 yards and
a touchdown in a conservative
offense, and Oakland's punishing
defense took it from there for a 20-
17 victory. Living up to their repu-
tation for smash-mouth football,
the Raiders (7-2) dominated both
of the Bengals' lines, got in a few
scraps and kept Cincinnati out of
the end zone until the closing sec-

Minutemen fail to score
in sudden death overtime
By Andrew Bryce
Coliegion Staff
ORONO. ME — When the
final horn sounded, the score-
board displayed 21s on each side,
one under Maine and the other
under visitor. The score was knot-
ted, and if this was just about any
other regular season college foot-
ball game in the country, it would
have been over.
Their records would have three
digits, and neither team would be
able to brag or boast about a vic-
tory.
But it wasn't. It was a Yankee
Conference matchup between
Massachusetts and Maine. If the
score Is tied after regulation In
YanCon play, a sudden death
overtime session takes place.
There's a coin toss, the ball is
spotted at the 25- yard line going
in. First team to score wins.
On Saturday afternoon, after a
bO-minule battle, each team's
respective captains walked to the
middle of the field to meet the
referees. The only difference
between the overtime coin toss
and the pregamc coin flip is the
fact that the captain's uniforms
are dirtied up by then. Other than
that, this was a new game. The
21-21 score may as well have
been 0-0. and the flipping of the
coin has a large effect on the out-
come.
The coin was flipped by the ref-
eree, and the Black Bears won the
toss. They chose to defend the
south goaL and have last ups. In
other words. If UMass scored on
the next drive from 25 yards out.
Maine would get a chance, as
well If UMass didn't score and
Maine got into the endzone.
Maine would gel the victory.
It was Massachusetts' ball at
the Maine 25-yard line. Catterton
handed it off to Rene Ingoglia.
who was nailed by tackle Marc
MacKlssock. The ball was sprung
loose, and defensive end Todd
Williamson recovered.
The Black Bears ran the ball on
the next three plays, but could not
get the first down. ^'et. they were
within field goal range on the
Massachusetts 18-yard line.
Sophomore placeklcker Chris
Binder booted a 35-yard Held goal
through the uprights and the
Black Bears edged the Minutemen
24-21. just minutes after
Massachusetts coach Mike
Hodges and staff tried to ice him
by calling timeout.
"It wasn't quite cold enough to
do that, but it was getting close."
Hodges said. "Vou gotta' do it.
That's what the book says to do. I
really don't know how much of an
effect it has."
"I was getting mad. I was cold
out there. I wanted to get the
game over with and go into the
lockeroom." Binder said when
asked if the timeout bothered him.
Although Ingoglia's name is
mentioned first because of his
costly turnover, he had his typical
outstanding effort otherwise.
Ingoglia carried the ball 32 times
for 125 yards and scored three
touchdowns.
In the process, he stuffed two
more records in his holster. With
his first touchdown of the day, he
set a school record for touch-
downs in a season. With the
fourth quarter one- yard touch-
down, his third on the afternoon.
Ingoglia became the Yankee
Conference's all-time leading
scorer (32b points).
But to know Rene, you know
he's not a happy guy after the loss
on Saturday. Tell him he set those
records and he'll counter with the
fact that the Minutemen failed to
get the win. All those records do
not mean a thing unless you win,
Ingoglia has said many times over
the course of this season.
"I'm sure if you ask him. that's
exactly what he'll tell you. All of
the statistics don't mean anything
unless you win." Hodges said.
The sudden death overtime peri-
od makes things interesting, lusl
ask those who saw last year's New
Hampshire-Boslon University
game, where the Wildcats edged
the Terriers 52-51 in a thrilling
double-overtime playoff clash.
Instead of ending the game at a
standstill, it produces a winner.
The chances are there, and it's all
up to the teams to seize their
opportunities. Maine did just that
against UMass.
"It's part of the game," Hodges
said. "Everybody gets the same
chance. We blew ours, they
didn'i. They deserved to win and
we don't "

"Streya played out of her mind." Donnelly said. "She
just rilled two bciutiful goals. She played a great game."
After intermission it was Reiner again for the Rams,
that provided the equalizer, as she convened a penalty
comer rebound to knot the score at 2-2.
Rhode Island looked to be in perfect position to get the
game-winner in overtime as its forwards snuck behind the
Massachusetts defense and appeared to have a 5-on-O on
UMass goalie Stacy Walker, but senior Andrea Cabral
sprinted back to break up the play.
That play turned the momentum back in the
Minutewomen's favor as their offense began dominating
and attacking the URI goal until the stroke was awarded
and revoked.

Conference Awards: In recognition of her team's per-
fect record In the conference, St. loscph's coach Michele
Finnegan was awarded the .Atlantic 10 coach of the year
award.
While many people expected a Hawk to capture the
Player of the Year honors, Goniian. who is second in the
nation in save percentage, brought home the trophy. 'The
announcement of ihe winner of the Rookie of the Year
award was one of the lew bright spots for Mas.sachusetts
all weekend, as Greenfield native Kate Putnam was the
first Minutewoman since Rothenberger (19'*5) to be
named the A-IO's top newcomer.
"That was awe-some." Donnelly said of Putnam's award
"Sh.- certainly was the premier freshman In the conlerence."
Rothenberger was Massachusetts only member of the
All- Conference team, as this year there was only a first
team and no honorable mention, which is a change from
years past. Both Rothenberger and Volla were named to
the conference's all tournament team.

advanced to yesterday's champi-
onship game with a J-1 semifinal
victory over Xavier.
Sophomore forward Mike Butler
picked up the hat trick as he led
the Minutemen with all three goals
to defeat the Musketeers. Butler set
new Atlantic 10 Championship
records in three categories, goals
(three), points (six) and shots
(seven).
Action in the first half was domi-
nated by UMass. Butler netted his
first tally of the day while in a
crowd in front of the net. off a
short kick from freshman forward
lake Brodsky. Butler's second goal
of the first half came as the first
team All-Atlantic 10 pick took
over possession on an open field
cross from junior midfielder joe
jacobson. He drove from the left
side alone against Xavier goalie
Greg Kleiman and fired the ball
into the right hand side of ihe net.
Xavier came out in the second
half and netted the first goal of the
half to pull within one. The
Musketeers' Jeremy Fultz scored on
a one-on-one cross from the left
side. Butler scored the last goal of
the match on a cross pass from the
right side from freshman Paul
Corcoran who had just entered the
game.

two minutes later Merrimack goalie
Eric Thibeault could not hold on to a

face-off circle to tie the game.
"We felt that we had the momen-
tum.' Manganaro said. "Because
everytime they scored, we would
come back and we would score."
The Quincy native proved his point
valid as with the score 3-J midway
through the third period. Warrior

lust 27 seconds later. Manganaro
tied the game at four by netting his
own rebound after making a quick
shift around a Warrior defensemen.
That left the game tied, sending it
to overtime and Campanale's win-
ner.
"I told our guys in the lotkcr room
that sweeping any team in Hockey
East is a very tough chore." said
Massachusetts coach |oc Mallcn. "I
thought Merrimack played very well
jSaturdayl but our guys fought back
from a two-goal deficit and our guys
were fresher in the end."
Friday night in the Mullins Center,
it was Manganaro wearing the cape
for the Minutemen. He took a
no-look backhand feed from Mike
Evans and roofed the puck from the
top of the crease for the game-win-
ner
Merrimack got on the board just
1 7 seconds into the contest as sopho-
more Casey Kesselring swatted in a
backhander from 1 2 feet to open the
scoring before half of the 2.888 in
attendance had found their seats.
The Warrior lead would be
short-lived as after the ensuing
face-off. UMass controlled in the
offensive zone. Norris sent a pass
back to the point where Brad Norton
unloaded a blast towards the
Merrimack net. junior forward Rob
Bonncau was in front of Warrior net-
minder Martin Lcgault and deflected
the shot into the far comer knotting
the game.
Less than four minutes later
Bonneau struck again. As the puck
was cleared from the UMass defen-
sive end there was a race for the puck
between two Merrimack defenders
and Campanale. The Braintrec native
dove to the ice and knocked it to a
streaking Bonneau who went in all
alone on Lcgault. i
As Bonncau broke down the'xiot,
he let go a hard wrist shot which beat
Lcgault high to the glove side to give
UMass a 2-1 lead. Gerry Cahill
would add another goal at the 14:16
mark to send UMass into the first
intermission with a two goal advan-
tage.

coach Ron Anderson. "We played
our typical style in the second and
third periods, but we didn't play how
we are capable in the first."
Merrimack came out to start the
second period with an intensity rarely
seen in the first, as the Warriors fin-
ished their checks and scored early
on a Gaetan Poirier redirection in
front of Regan.
But it was Regan who kept the
Minutemen with a one goal margin
entering the third period as he denied
Rob Beck on a breakaway, then a few
minutes later again as Beck was left
alone on top of Regan's crease.

Ice hockey builds on experience
By Leigh Torfain
Collegian Stoff
NORTH ANDOVER. Mass. — There are only three
Division I hockey teams who are both unbeaten and
untied after playing at least three games this year.
One is defending national champion Boston
University at 4-0-0. and another is 1994 national
champion Lake Superior State (6-0-0). Either the
Lakers or Terriers have played in each of the last five
national championship gan-es. winning three.
While BU and L^ike State were expected to be per-
fect, the third team is somewhat of a surprise.
Massachusetts, coming off of a 6-28-2 campaign last
season, is now an unblemished 5-0-0 on the heels of
its weekend sweep of Hockey East foe Merrimack.
When Dean Campanale put a rebound upstairs and
past Merrimack goaltender Eric Thibeault at the 2;06
mark of overtime Saturday night, the Minutemen had
swept a Hockey East opponent for the first time ever.
""This is unbelievable." senior Sal Manganaro said.
"This is an unbelievable accomplishment. One of the
hardest things to do in (Hockey East] is sweep a team
back-to- back."
"Sweeping any team in Hockey East is a very tough
chore." coach |oe Mallen said. "Merrimack really
played well tonight, but our guys fought back.'
UMass is a revitalized team, producing exceptional
results with the .same talent as in 1994-95. Mallen has
yet to play a freshman this season, the wins coming
from improved play by uppcrclassmen. With renewed
confidence and added experience, the 1995-96
Minutemen are the antithesis of last year's edition.
Each of the team's three wins have been accom
plished by means unfathomable for last year's team.
In their season-opening win at Army, the
Minutemen dominated special teams play. After scor-
ing a total of 20 power play goals in 36 games last sea-
son. UMass tallied five against the Cadets, as UMass
breezed to a 6-3 victory.
Friday night, the Minutemen held a 3-1 lead after
the first period and saw it whittled away by
Merrimack, until Steve McKenna tied things at 3-3 at
1 7: 1 2 of the third
Last year, in the final two games of the regular sea-
son, the Minutemen held third period leads at
Northeastem's Matthews Arena, which they could not
hold. The Huskies knotted the game and then pulled
away from a deflated UMass team on each occasion.
McKenna's 55-fooi slapshot would have been a shot
right through the heart of last year's Minutemen.
Instead, a more experienced and composed UMass
team rallied as senior Mike Evans feed senior Sal
Manganaro, on the doorstep, for the game-winner
with 54.4 seconds to play and Brian Regan turned
back some quality Merrimack scoring bids.
Saturday UMass was colder than Merrimack's Voipe
Complex early on and was down 2-0, just 5:40 into
the game, as the Warriors' Casey Kesselring demon-
strated just why he was a member of the 1995 Hockey
East All-Rookie team with a dazzling goal and spectac-
ular assist.
On countless occasions in 1994-95, the Minutemen
folded after falling behind early, seldom threatening to
get back into the game. The team was just 3-17-1
when trailing after the first period and two-down was
more than enough to daze UMass.
The Minutemen rattled off three second period goals
Saturday night and even after falling behind 4-3 7:35
into the third, they came back, lust 27 seconds later
Manganaro tied things up on an excellent individual
effort, and Campanale won it in overtime.
In its Hockey East playoff win at Boston College.
UMass came from behind four limes in a game that
turned the program completely around. The cxperierKe
from winning that game in panicular. and others like
it. notably Army and Notre Dame, carric-d UMass this
weekend.
"I thought UMass played very well," said Merrimack
coach Ron Anderson. "There's no substitute for experi-
ence and what they went through last year is paying
dividends."
Ineptitude on the power play caused UMass to lose
many a game last year. UMass seldom held leads and
was not a good come-from-behind team. In just three
games. UMass has already overcome three of its largest
stumbling blocks from last season, and still has 3 1 reg-
ular season games to get even better.

yards on the ground. Martin got
I 12 in the first half. "A lot of
games. I started out good and didn't
end up with a lot." said Martin,
apparently the answer to New
England's recent rushing woes.
"There were others where I did not
start so good and have had my best
days.
"They knew what plays we were
going to run and our line still got the
holes open. It's more yards than I've
ever rushed for in the pros."
Of course, he's only been in the
NFL for nine games.
"Our back is more experienced
and he understands the plays bet-
ter," coach Bill Parcells said of
Martin, who also had a 22-yard
reception. "They were bringing a lot
of guys at us." The Patriots did the
same to Glenn Foley, New York's
second-year quarterback who saw
his first extended action when he
replaced Bubby Brister in the sec-
ond quarter. The pass rush got to
Foley late in the game, with Aaron
lones' hit dislocating Foley's right
shoulder on the lets' final offensive
play.
Foley will be lost for the rest of the
season.
"He got a chance and did some
good things," said rookie receiver
Wayne Chrcbel. "Losing him really
puts a damper on things." Coach
Rich Kotite said after the game that a
healthy Foley probably would have
been the team's starter.
Foley finished l6-for-29 for 128
yards and guided the lets (2-8) on a
99-yard touchdown drive in the sec-
ond half.
Whatever offense New England ( 3-
6) manufactured last year was pro-
duced by Drew Bledsoe. Should
Martin provide a solid running game,
the Patriots might be able to dupli-
cate last season's surge to the play-
offs, when they won their final seven
games to finish 10-6.
"It's a win and it keeps our hopes
alive." Bledsoe said. "But in order for
it to mean anything, we've got to win
a bunch in a row."
New England took a 3-0 lead on
Matt Bahr's 41 -yard field goal on
the game's first series. After that,
the Patriots would move the ball on
Martin's runs and occasional passes
by Bledsoe, who was I 3-for-27 for
173 yards. But not until late in the
second period did they score again,
on Martin's 2-yard dive at the end of
a 59-yard drive on which Martin had
a 29-yard run. Martin broke a 49-
yard run near the end of the half,
the longest rushing play for New
England this year. That set up
Bahr's 29-vard field goal for a I 3-0
lead.
Martin's 9-yard TD run capped a
63-yard drive in the third quarter,
making it 20-0.
"I watched last week's films over
and over." Martin said of seeing the
lets hold Indianapolis' Marshall
Faulk to 30 yards rushing. "I said I
did not want to let that happen to
me." Seven plays into the second
quarter, he'd surpassed Faulk's
total.

'jSandy Shimogaki) did a really
great job. In creating >pacc for other
ptvple to get forward. I thought she
was big- time with that She did a
great job." said Massachusetts coach
Jim Rudy.
UMass' defense was as usual,
superb, holding the Musketeers to
just two shots on the afternoon, both
coming in the second half. The
Minutewomcn. on the other hand,
pounded out 31 shots. UMass also
held the edge in corner kicks, as the
Minutewomcn had seven while
Xavier failed to muster one.
"I would say the last two weeks the
secret to our success has been
defense." Rudy said. "W'c have
defended so well as a team, and the
nice part about that, is that is
team-related and its unsellish."
Sophomore goalkeeper Danielle
Dion made two saves to help the
Minutewomcn post their lOth
shutout.
"I felt UMass played extremely
well." Xavier coach Ron Quinn.
"L'Mass controlled the game, and
therefore, they created opportunities
and finished. They have an outstand-
ing defense."
The Minulewomen improved to
13-5-2 and now await the NCAA
tourney pairings, which will occur
today at 1 1 a.m. With its victory yes-

"We have a much better chance of

said. "It would be great for us and
our fans would be here |at Garbcr|.

UM reaching peak at right time
By Justin C. Smitti
Collegian Staff
When the 1995 women's soccer Atlantic 10
Champions had their picture taken with the trophy
signifying their accomplishment, every player in
front of the camera had contributed to getting the
team to that moment.
It was those 20 Massachusetts Minutewomcn
who had put forth a complete effort in defending
their crown as victors of their conference touma
ment. In a season filled with bad bounces and
missed opportunities, it seems the whole package is
coming together for UMass.
It was not the No. 3 ranked UConn Lady
Huskies keeper that drowned UMass hopes of an
upset on a rain-soaked Saturday — it was a puddle
that stopped what on any other day was a goal by
freshman Karin lohnson. With what was the most
freakiest of goals that led to the loss to Temple last
Friday, which cost them the No. 1 eastern seed in
the A- 10s. the Minutewomcn could have been
completely frustrated with their luck.
UMass bounced back with a 2-0 victory two
days later against Cornell in its regular season
finale. The Big Red had been causing a stir in the
Northeast region and an upset of the
Minutewomen could have put them in the NCAA
tournament. UMass denied Cornell of any such
opportunity.
Next up was the A- IDs and a date in the semis
with George Washington. The last two years the
UMass-GW game was the Championship matchup,
but because UMass was the No. 2 seed out of the
East, it forced an earlier confrontation of the
perennial conference powers.
The UMass defense put the clamps on 1994
Newcomer of the Year Chemar Smith and the rest
of the Colonial attack. Senior forward Rachel
LeDuc scored as many goals in the game as GW
had shots on net (two) and Minutewomen keeper
Danielle Dion made both saves. In the semi-final
2-0 victory, UMass played what arguably was its
best 90 minutes of the season.
The finals brought A- 10 newcomer Xavier onto
the stage for the closing stanza, and it would be
one that left a lasting impression on all that attend-
ed as UMass left nothing to argue about.
After the first five minutes of play, which was
mostly fought at midfleld. UMass defender Erica
Iverson sent halfback Sandy Shimogaki on a run
down the right Hank for the first real offensive
pressure of the match. The ball hardly left UMass
offensive zone the rest of the half Totals shots in
the first half: UMass 18, Xavier 0.
In recent games, an abundance of Minutewomen
shots didn't necessarily lead to a high-scoring out-
put, but on this day. UMass connected with its
passes and buried its glorious scoring chances.
It all began with what has been a potent offen-
sive weapon for UMass all year, the comer kick.
A- 10 Player of the Year Erin LyiH'h headed in a
second cross attempt for the early lead and the
Minutewomen never looked back. After all was
said and done, six goals were on their side of the
scoreboard and iH>thing on the other, all due to a
total team effort.
"We are really starting to come on now." said the
Most Outstanding Player of the Tournament.
Rachel LeDuc. "We had a lot of picture-perfect
balls today and the First three goals wen; just pic-
ture-perfect. All around this was a pretty game "
All season the strength of the team had been the
defense. Lynch along with Nikki Ahrcnholz. Erica
Iverson and Amanda Thompson, had stifled oppos-
ing offensives holding them to just over a half a
goal per contest. They also have provided an offen-
sive spark giving the forwards many quality sconng
chances, and now they are starting to hit ptaydirt
with their shots.
A perfect example of this was U Mass's second
goal of yesterday's game. With the penalty area
clogged with UMass and Xavier players, the ball
was fed out to Iverson some 45 yards from goal
She made a quick move to get a clear left-looted
cross to the far side. Amy Powell made a well
timed run and met the ball with her left loot before
it ever touched the ground. The Xavier keeper
never had time to react on the one-time shot.
"Anytime 1 make a cut to my right or my left."
Iverson said. "I can look up and see either LelXic.
Powell or Myers coming in there. They have always
been there. I know that one of them is going to
connect, it is just a matter whether it's on net or
fX)l. I was really happy to see Amy put it home."
Of the six UMass goals on the day. at least lour
were highlight material, both players and coach
agreed that this is some of their best soccer of the
year.
"We are really playing well right now. We are
peaking at the right time," Lynch said. "We played
well defensively and the offense came through
today."

Volleyball falls to GW, beats Virginia Tech
By Sivven Grant
ColUgion Staff
Although the Massachusetts volley-
ball team's nine-game wining streak
came to an end this past weekend,
the intense, aggressive play that car-
ried it through that streak did not.
The Minutewomen (21-10. 12-5
in the Atlantic 10) split their
two-game homestand by losing to
George Washington. 5-2. on Friday
and defeating Virginia Tech. 5-2. on
Saturday. All three teams are in con-
tention to finish in the top four spots
in the A- 10, which would mean an
appearance in the A-10 champi-
onships to be held at the University
of Massachusetts.
UMass was inches away from beat-
ing the Colonials (21-5. 12-2) but
came just as close to losing to the
Hokies(17-10.9-fc).
George Washington 5,
Massachusetts 2
On one hand, the Minutewomen
were man-handled by the Colonials
earlier this season. 3-0. On the other
hand, however, this was UMas^'
match to lose. Not only were the
Minutewomcn up two games to one
on the defending A-10 champs, but
they were actually leading game four.
8-1.
But the Minutewomcn seemed to
get relaxed, as they usually do with a
big lead, and GW reeled off the next
nine points to go on and beat UMass.
15-9. 14-16. 15-8. 12-15. 10-15.
The Colonials were led by Svetlana
Vtyurina. who led the nation going
into the match with a 7.2 kills per
game average. Vtyurina, although
occasionally stopped by UMass, had
another great match, totalling 41
kills. The senior is closing in on the
all-time NCAA career kills record.
and should easily reach the mark by
season's end.
"She's something,' Kenny said.
"When you have an All- American on
the other side of the net, it makes
things difficult, no question. But I'm
happy with the way we played. We
had a good week of practice and we
worked hard."
Meanwhile, junior Giza Rivera tied
a UMass record with 2^ kills on the
evening. The outside hitter also regis-
teri-d 1 3 digs in the losing effort.
The Minuti"women never led in the
fifth game, which is played with rally
scoring, meaning a point is scored on
every serve regardless of who is serv-
ing. The worst it got was 9-3. but
UMass came within three points at
1 3- lU. only to fall short in the end.
Sophomore outside hitter Lesley
Nolan earned I 7 kills and 12 digs,
while junior outside hitter Dionne
Nash recorded 10 kills and 14 digs.
Senior middle blocker Rachel Sky
continued her consistent play, leading
the team in digs with 17.
"I think we were up and down
tonight." said sophomore defensive
specialist Maria Duerk). "We need to
be more consistent. We had that
fourth game but we got relaxed and
stopped talking. But I think we did a
good job in some areas. We're dig-
ging a lot of balls, for instance. We
just have to step it up and forget
about this one "
UMass 3. Virginia Tech 2
Led by a solid backcourt defense
and a record-setting performance by
Rivera. UMass won only its second
fifth- game of the season to take the
match. The win could propel the
Minutewomen into their remaining
three games and into the postseason.
For most of the rally-scoring game
five, it seemed as if all of UMass'

stnjng play in the match was going to
go to waste. It looked as if the
Minutewomen's late-game woes were
going to continue, and it would seem
like they couldn't beat a quality team
in their conference.
The Mokies. led by Megan Barnes'
20 kills, stormixl out of the gate to a
quick 'S-O lead. I.ater it increased to
7-1. and then lO-i. Although it was
later confirmed that no one was fool-
ing around with the fuse bo.x. it was
looking pretty dim in Curry Micks
Cage. So Kenny called a timeout.
"I told them that they were playing
like they were alraid to lose, rather
than playing to wm," she said. "When
you're playing tentative and alraid.

In more than half of the

this weekend, things should be dif-
ferent this season.
UMass sophomore forward Dean

the night at 2:06 of overtime, to

Field hockey loses in semifinals
By Matt Voutour
Collegian Staff
For the Massachusetts field hockey team, the Atlantic 10
tournament reflected its entire season. The Minutewomen
couldn't catch a break us they were eliminated in the first
round 5 2 by Rhode Island in overtime on Saturday.
With 6:25 remaining in regulation.
Massachusetts was awarded a penalty stroke
penalizing Rhode Island goalie Kellie
Gomian lor lying on top of the ball.
Gorman, the 1995 Atlantic 10 Player of
the Vciir. made no argument and set up to face the stroke.
Kyle Rolhenberger. who has been almost automatic
throughout her career on strokes, was all set lo shoot
when a whistle blew. The official changed the call, instead
giving Massachusetts a penalty comer.
The Minutewomen didn't score on the opportunity and
although they were surging before the stoppage in play,
they appciircd confused afterward, the wind completely
out of theii sails. A visibly upset Massachusetts coach
Megan Donnelly refused to make any comment about the
role the i)fficials call had in the game.
Massachusetts
Rhode Island's game-winner was also a strange one.
Less than two minutes into sudden death overtime. Mary
McCloskey scored to give URI the 3-2 victory, but
.Massachusetts still looked confused. Several players
claimed lo have heard a whistle blow and stopped, giving
McCloskey and easy shot on goal.
"The players told me that thc7 slopped because they heard
the whistle." Donnelly said. "We looked
very passive and that would explain it."
Lost in the defeat was the tremendous
performance by senior captain Sireya
Volla. who played one of the best games
of her career against the Rams. She put Massachusetts
ahead early in the contest, as she dived toward the mouth
of the goal to redirect Courtney MacLean's centering pass
past Gorman, just 3:14 into the contest.
After Dorien Reiner knotted the score at 1-1. it was
Volla again, who stepped up blasting the ball off of what
appeared to be a botched penalty comer past Gorman lo
put UMass ahead 2-1, with just over 10 minutes remain-
ing In the first half.

Amherst residents mourn Rabin
300 people gather in remembrance of slain Prime Minister
By RoMonn Coiien
Colbgkin Correspondent
Last night, at the lewish
Community of Amherst on Main
Street, a memorial service and vigil
was held for Prime Minister of
Israel, Yitzhak Rabin, assas.sinated
last Saturday evening by a lewish
Israeli law student. About 300
community members, synagogue
leaders and students joined togeth-
er to honor and remember the man
and his accomplishments as well as
lo reflect on their own feelings
about his death.
"Our tears run deep and bitter.
The murder of Yitzhak Rabin rep-
resents a loss to the world of a hero
of war and a hero of peace," Rabbi
Sheila Peltz Weinberg said.
Some members wept, while oth-
ers sal. silently nodding, listening
lo Rabbi Weinberg speak of the
great courage possessed by Rabin
Rabbi Weinberg emphasized the
incredible strength and dedication
it look for Rabin, who had once
been a warrior, lo sit down and
make peace with his enemy His
goals for security for Israel had not
changed, but his means to this goal
had She stressed the difficulty he
experienced diplomatically, "Who
can forget the extraordinary cere-
mony at the While House lawn on
Sept. 15. 1995 when Mr Rabin
reluctantly extended his hand to
Yasser Arafat, Ihe man who for
decades had been the master mind
behind ihe attacks on the men,
women and children of Israel." she
said.
loshua Walker, a University of
Massachusetts student, agreed. "He
fought for the lives of the Jewish
people and the lives for the
Palestinians. He didn't want the
Palestinians lo die any more than
he wanted lews lo die. Ultimately,
he risked his life for it ," he said.
Haim Gunner, an Amherst resi-
dent, spoke of how such violence
within the lewish culture can not
and should not be tolerated. He
tiild a story of how, as a child, he
had never seen his father as
shocked as the night he saw one
synagogue member raise his hand
against another member in dis
agreement. According lo Gunner. It
is troubling lo sec such violence
within the lewish community, and
the assassination of Rabin by
another jew "should sharpen the
recognition that we have to learn
how to communicate with each
other and that we have lo make
safeguards against such violence
within the community "
According lo Joshua Walker. "It
was bound lo happen. It's shocking
that someone would actually do
that, but the world is such a violent
place and people have such strong
ideas that it has led them to kill.
He (the assassin) said he did it lo
stop the peace process, but
throughout history that has never
worked, so in his full quest he
failed."
A Mourner's Kaddish, -the
lewish prayer for the dead, was
recited at the service for Rabin,
and tears were shed as people sang
Shir LaShalom, the last song he
sang al the pnv peace rally before
he was shot. The title is translated,
"Sing Only a Song for Peace."
Mourners filed out of the syna-
gogue singing only one word;
"Shalom" — meaning peace in
Hebrew — as they gathered out-
side, in a circle, each hokiing one.

sided, individuals placed their can-
dles in the center of Ihe circle.

circle, remembering and grieving
for a man who had given his life in
the name of peace

UMass Professor lannes Tate was recently awarded the Tanning Prize, which recognizes mastery in poeU. 1X3.0111 id.iCl tO TCSt* 3.SS3.SSin COntCSSCS
By AUison Connolly
CoUegKm Staff
University of Massachusetts Professor lames Tale has
once again been recognized for his poetry. A former
Pultzer Prize winner, Tate has received the nationally
prestigious Tanning Prize for his book. Worshipful
Company of Fletchers. The prize has been awarded in
recognition of Tate's outstanding and proven mastery in
the art of poetry.
The award, worth $100,000. is the largest annual liter-
ary prize given in the United Slates. It was established
two years ago by painter Dorothea Tanning, who donated
$2 million to the Academy of Arts and Letters for the cre-
ation of such a priz*.
"I didn't have a thought about ever winning it." Tale
said. "I was completely taken aback and honored, but also
shiKked."
But Tale modestly stated his life is "not all about prizes,
it's about poetry. I Icive poetry and I'm dedicated lo it."
He said it look him almost two years to write the
prize-winning bcKik of poems.
"Once I got started writing, it didn't lake me that long."
Tate said. "When I Tinish a book. I lend not to write any-
thing for a year. I find that I need to renew myself and
point myself in some other direction and try lo hope it's
new. then I start writing again. You practically have to
start al the beginning and learn how lo write again."
Tale said he enjoyed writing the book, a labor of love.
"It's a serious book. I'm sure there's plenty of laughs in
there loo. so all I can say is that I had a great amount of
fun writing it. but that doesn't lake away front its serious-
ness."
Tale makes references to several Amherst landmarks
and moments, where he has spent most of his career in
the last 24 years. He is originally from Missouri, and
attended Kansas Stale College and the University of Iowa.
He has taught at the University of California at Berkeley
and at Columbia University.
When asked which of his books was his favorite. Tate
said it is a difficult question for most poets lo answer.
"I think that's another thing that writers can't be trust-
ed on." Tate said. "It seems that I had the most fun writ-
ing it. that I was making the boldest, most surprising
moves for me, but I trust someone else who's read all of
my work to see what they wouki have to say. I know that
I felt fully mature poetic powers in me and was undeni-
ably happy to be writing."
Tale leaches a graduate poetry workshop at the univer-
sity. Students bring their new poems to class, where their
work is critiqued by Tate and their classmates. Tate said
he sees a lot of talent in his class.
Tale is excited about the genres of poetry currently on
the literary scene. He is a fan of much of it. sharing
long-term friendships with several poets.
"There's a large, healthy and diverse scene out there in
the world of poetry. Across the board. I'm happy about
that. I like pcK-try from all different elements of style.
There are some gix)d formalists, some radicals, some mid-
dle-of-the- road people, just like there always are."
Tate dubs his work as "nouveau middle-of-the-road."
"I'm described often as having surrealistic elements in
my poetry, but what does that mean these days when you
turn on the television and half the things you look at.
especially commercials, are all so-called surrealistic. That
takes the sting out of that word."
However, the poet does not agree with this label for his
work.
"It used to mean something that I don't really think it
does any longer. It's a pretty inept way lo describe my
poetry but I think when critics don't know what else to
say. they will cling lo some easy lag like that."
Tale writes about the young hopes of a child in the dis-
illusioned eyes of an adult in the namesake poem.
"Worshipful Company of Fletchers."
"I had meant lo comfort him./but the feral child was
now/ mewling, and this annoyed me. /"I doubt you have
what it lakes /discipline, faslidiousness./honesty.
devotion— — to serve/as a manservant, a butler ,/to a gen-
tleman of rank and highballing."
The Worshipful Compatty of Fletchers is not the last for
Tate. He is currently in the midst of a second book.
"This is a lifetime proposition, it doesn't just slop." he
said.
TEL AVIV. ISRAEL (AP) - The coffin was carried
about 200 yards to the gravesiie in a pine glade. A blue-
and-while flag with the Star of David was reniiived from
the casket, which was then lowered into the grave
Members of the burial society scooped earth into con-
tainers and covered the casket.
A rabbi intoned the prayer, "God. Full of Mercy."
The mourners sal in rows of white chairs on Mount
Herzl. where Rabin was buried among the nation's past
leaders and military heroes. Many of the foreign visitors
wore black skullcaps, others wore blue baseball caps.

and Chancellor Helmut Koh) of Germany.
The funeral began with a two-minute siren that wailed
throughout the country in tribute to the man who led
Israel in war as chief of staff, then led it lo peace «rilh the
Palestine Liberation Organization and Jordan.
Life in Israel came to a standstill at the sound of the
siren.
Drivers slopped their cars, got out and stood in silence.
Rabin's casket had been brought from the bier where
it had lain in state for 24 hours outside the parliament
building. Eight army generals and police chiefs loaded
the casket on an army truck covered with black wood.
The vehicle drove slowly through the downtown
streets, which were closed lo normal traffic, to the
Mount Herzl cemetery, named for Theixior Herzl, the
founder of Zionism and visionary of the modern Israeli
stale.
Israelis mobbed the cortege route to say farewell,
including hospital patients who ran toward the street in
their robes.
One million people in this nation of 5 million had filed
past the late prime minister's coffin, which lay in state
outside the Knesset — children on parents' shoulders, sol-
diers. Israeli Arabs in flowing headdresses. Many sobbed.

"There are three teams of two
teachers each that instruct the
workshops," said program super-
visor Martha Taunton. "It is a
required course for art teacher
certification, and the state
requires a certain amount of class-
room time for the teachers to
become certified."
The workshop offered for
grades one lo four is called
"Young Artists: Fantasy Art" in
which children will be creating
hand puppets. In addition, they
will gain experience In drawing
and painting and with
mixed-media creations.
"The workshops have expanded
this year to six weeks instead of
four weeks." Taunton said. "With
(the workshops) being six weeks,
my students will be able to do
more teaching.
"My students wanted to
increase the age range of students
taking the workshops. Last year,
we had children in grades one
through seven and this year we
have expanded to grade II."
The four workshops offered for
students in grades five to 12 are:

Residents vote today on controversial domestic proposal
By Potrick Clwiry
Collegian Correspondent
Today Northampton residents will vote on the
Domestic Partnership Ordinance, a controversial
piece of legislation which was passed by the
Northampton City Council last |une.
Proposed to recognize Ihe diversity of the popu-
lation of Northampton and lo "support all of its
families and... further its commitment to nondis-
crimination." the ordinance allows persons in
domestic partnerships to register al the office of
the City Clerk and obtain a certificate attesting to
their status.
A "domestic partnership." as defined by the ordi
nance, is formed by two unmarried persons at least
1 8 years of age who are "in a relationship of mutu-
al support, caring and commitment."
They cannot be related by blood closer than
would bar marriage in Massachusetts, must be each
other's sole partner and "consider themselves a
family." Upon registration, domestic partners are
entitled to three basic rights.
Ordinance ensures three rights
First, a domestic partner would have the same
visitation rights as a spouse or a parent at any pub-
lic health care facility owned, operated or con-
trolled by the City of Northampton.
A domestic partner would also have a right to
visit his partner at any correctional facilities
owned, operated, or controlled by the City of
Northampton.
Finally, a domestic partner would have the abili-
ty to have access to the school records of a child of
a domestic partner, or to remove the children of a
domestic partner from school in case of illness or
family emergency. This would require a signed note
by the partner who is the parent or legal guardian
of the child.
The city council passed the ordinance unani-
mously last |une, but was suspended following a
petition begun by Northampton for Traditional
Values, a group of citizens opposed to the ordi-
nance.
Ordinance faces opposition
"The city council passed the DPO [Domestic
Partnership Ordinance] without thinking it
through," states Reverend Donald R. LaPoinle of
the Sacred Heart in Northampton.
"They wanted (those opposed to the ordinance]
to back off. saying we couldn't possibly win," says
LaPoinle. "So the area churches called for someone
to take the ball and run with it. and Northampton
for Traditional Values was formed.
"We oppose this ordinance on moral, ethical,
legal and sociological grounds." continues
LaPoinle "By passing the DPO. the City of
Northampton is saying that any two people can live
together and be called a couple. It deteriorates the
meaning of family."
Stacy Roth, a volunteer coordinator and cam-
paigner for the Northampton Domestic Partnership
Coalition, has a different view.
"The DPO says a lot of things. It sends a pro-
found message of recognition that the city values
all families, and all of its citizens." says Roth. "(In
passing the DPO] we are saying that we In this city
are willing to lake care of and care for one anoth-
er."
Roth sees efforts to block the DPO as a reaction
of fear.
"People are afraid of the unknown." she con-
tends. "They fear any changes being made to the
status quo."
Because the ordinance does not make distinc-
tions between same-sex and opposite-sex partner-
ships. Roth also notes that "other issues have to do
with homophobia. I don't think that these issues
are new. it's just that they are becoming more visi-
ble with this ordinance."
"The homosexual issue was not brought up by
Northampton for Traditional Values, it was
brought up by the city council." counters LaPoinle.
Ordinance said lo skin the law
"This is not an issue of homosexuality. This ordi-
nance is a violation of the law," LaPoinle argues.
"The law slates that two people coming together
(in marriage] need to receive a license certifying

Rabin
conHnued from page 1
As world leaders converged on
Israel to shore up Rabin's legacy of
peace, his killer confessC'J in a Tel
Aviv court.
Appearing at his arraignment
handcuffed and unshaven. 27-year-
old Israeli law student Yigal Amir
said he killed Rabin at a peace rally
Saturday night because he wanted
"to give our country to the Arabs."
Amir, who has ties to lewish
extremists, was caught with the gun
in his hand.
"I did this to stop the peace
process.' he told Magistrate Dan
Arbcl in a calm, even tone. "We
need to be cold-hearted."
The magistrate ordered Amir
held for 1 5 more days.
His older brother, Hagai, was
arrested Sunday, charged with
failure to prevent a crime and
ordered held for a week. Israel
radio said he apparently told the
court he knew of his brother's
intentions.
Israel has no history of political
assassination, and the fact that a
leuj could have taken the life of the
prime minister has shocked the
nation to its foundations.
One woman passed out paper
doves of peace. Others left pho-
tographs of Rabin and signs reading
"Why?" and "Rest in Peace."
"It warms my heart to see that
we have the partnership of such a
large part of the people," Mrs.
Rabin said on Israel radio, her voice
breaking with emotion. "But our
pain will remain with us and the
gap that was created is huge and is
felt in the home ... every day, all
day, and it is terrible."
Mrs. Rabin said that when she
heard the gunshots that killed her
husband, his bodyguards told her it
was a toy pistol. "And it took a long
time before we got to the hospital
and understood the gravity of the
situation," she said.
For Mrs. Rabin, the murder of
the prime minister meant the loss of
a man under whose military com-
mand she served, then married
morv than four decades ago.
For the nation of Israel, it meant
the loss of a military hero who
fought in the 1948 Niege of
lerusalem in an elite unit, then was
chief of staff when Israel defeated
three Arab armies in six davs in
)une 1967.
A shy, reticent man. he was
thrust into the prime minister's job
by the resignation of Ciolda Meir in
1974. and in a second term that
began in 1992. made peace with the
Pl.O. For that bold step, he won
the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize, shar-
ing it with Peres and PLC leader
^'asser Arafat.
Arafat did not come to lerusalem
lor the funeral, citing the compli-
cated security operation Israel
would have to mount if he were
there. His presence likely would
have set off protests in Israel, and
he has not visited the disputed city
since Palestinian self-rule began 18
months ago becau.se of the sensitive
sovereignty issue.
Arafat watched the funeral on
television from his office in Gaza
City.
In an interview with CNN. the
Palc-siinian leader mourned the loss
of the man he called his partner in
peace: "I am very sad for this awful
event which had happened there in
Israel, where I lost one of the most
important, courageous men in
Israel.
propsals

their health. The DPO sidesteps that law. and allows any-
one to register without that safeguard."
LaPointe says that under the DPO. a young woman
could register a relationship with a man without having to
undergo any tests to determine if there were any health
li-iks. If the woman were later to find out that she had
acquiied a '■exually-transmitted disease and became sterile
due to il. she could then sue the city of Northampton.
"Without th;;. ordinarce. this couple would have to get
a license to marry. a.".d the woman would find out that her
partner had this disease before anything happened." states
l^Pointe.
Roth disagrees with this assumption. "Domestic
Partnership is not marriage, and is not intended as a sub-
stitute for marriage. It gives pc-oplc. those who cannot or
choose not to marry as well as those who would benefit
from such a partnership the opportunity to register that
relationship."
Priesi sce<^ hidden agenda
The DPv ) can work for people who are not romantically
involved, states Roth. She gives, as an example, two single
mothers who reside in the same house.
"They have no other system of suppon than one anoth-
er," says Roth. "If the ordinance passes, ihcy then have
the option to register their partnership. If anything should
happen to one of them, say one gets into an accident, the
c>lher would be able to visit her in the hospital, and take
care of both their children's school nec^s."
LaPointe scoffs at this example. "They would be able to
do those things anyway," he says. "Grandparents take
their grandchildren out of school all the lime. It jusi
requires a note."
This raises an intcTcsting point. As there are no city-run
hospitals or correctional facilities in Northampton, what
benefits do the citizens of Northampton receive bv voting
for the DPO?
"It is just the beginning, since success of this ordinance
doesn't gain anything for anybody." says LaPointe. "There
is a hidden agenda here, or else the city council would not
have rushtxl the ordinance through so quickly. I see it as a
stepping stone, a precedent to set for future legislation.
Why else would everyone fight so hard to keep it?"
Roth states. "The city council was careful not to over-
step the bounds of what it could do within the narrow
boundaries of city government. While this is a modest
ordinance, it was written to include everyone, and to rec-
ognize the divcTsity of Northampton."

Four killed in restaurant shooting
By Jan Ciensld
Asjociated Preis
BOSTON — Four men eating
lunch in a restaurant were killed
and another was wounded Monday
after two men with whom they
argued shot them as they sat in a
booth amid about 50 other diners,
police said.
Two plainclothes police officers
from the nearby community of
Everett who happened to be eating
lunch at the restaurant chased the
suspects and arrested them at gun-
point in the parking lot. The man-
ner of the shooting led to specula-
tion that it was an organized crime
"hit." But Police Commissioner
Paul Evans discounted that suspi-
cion.
"If it was a hit, it was a very
sloppy hit in broad daylight in a
very crowded restaurant." said
Evans.
Police said the gunmen fired at
least 1 3 shots inside the building,
the 99 Restaurant & Pubs in
Boston's Charlestown section, at
arouiKl 1:20 p.m., sending patrons
scrambling for cover. "I heard.
Pop, pop, pop.' I hit the deck,"
said Bill Sewall, a 57-year-old cus-
tomer. "I ran out the front door
and I'm still shaking."
A witness who spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity said she saw two
men come inside the restaurant
with guns, then heard shots and
someone screaming that his broth-
er had been hit.
She said she looked around and
saw two people lying unmoving on
the floor.
"I scooted out the door: I was
petrified." she said.
The commissioner said the exact
motive for the shooting could not
be immediately determined.
Patrolmen Robert Hall and Paul
Durant. both two-year veterans of
the Everett police force, were hav-
ing lunch at the restaurant in their
civilian clothes after making an
appearance earlier at Cambridge
District Court. They made the
arrests.
Hall, of Everett, and Durant, of
Melrose, attended the police acade-
my and joined the force together,
train new recruits and share second
base duties on the department soft-
ball team, said their pxatrol captain.
Richard Basteri.
"We're very, very proud,"
Everett Chief lames Bonnell said.
The suspects were identified as
Damien Clementc. 20. of Medford.
and Vincent lohn Perez. 27. of
Boston. They were to be charged in
Charlestown District Court on
Tuesday with four counts each of
homicide and several weapons
charges. Clemenie's light green
Cadillac was towed from the
restaurant lot by police.
The victims, all males, were not
immediately identified while police
tried to notify their relatives.
The Charlestown section of the
city, scene of many violent inci-
dents in the past, is known for a .so-
called Code of Silence that has long
kept residents from speaking to
police about crimes they witness.
Those who were in the restau-
rant at the time of the shooting
came from Charlestown and else-
where.
They said a hush came over the
room when the shots rang out. A
moment later, they said, people
started runm'ng and screaming. "I
ran in the back and hid," said Lisa
Giordano, a bartender. "It just hap-
pened so fast."
Steve Maurer was in the bar
when he heard what souiuled like a
balloon popping.
"I looked over to see if there was
a party going on." he said. "Then I
heard another shot and saw smoke
and realized it wasn't a party."
Maurer said he heard other
patrons yelling "Get down! Get
down!" He said he ran through the
kitchen and hid behind a row of
cars outside.
Boston Police spokesman Lt.
Robert O'Toole said two people
were taken into custody, but he
would not comment on a possible
motive. The bodies of the four vic-
tims remained in the restaurant
three hours after the shooting as
authorities gathered evidence.
Massachusetts General Hospital
reported that another person
injured in the shooting was in seri-
ous condition after being operated
on for a single gunshot wound to
the abdomen, close to the heart.
Some residents said the incident
called to mind Charlestown's repu-
tation for violence.
"It's to the point where you
don't want to buy the newspaper
any more, you don't want to watch
the news." said Terry Titcomb. a
neighborhood activist whose son
was shot and killed a year ago.
Several residents said they resent-
ed being equaled with the shoot-
ings.
"It's never the good stuff, just
the bad. It'? a few people who give
(Charlestown) a bad name." said
Anne McCarron. 65. a native
Charlestown resident. "Ninety-five
percent of the people in
Charlestown are warm, great peo-
ple."
The 99 Restaurant & Pubs in
Charlestown is one of a chain of
casual eateries. Charlestown is a
blue-collar neighborhood on the
city's north side.

State budget may come up short
Report claims Republican's proposal will send state into debt
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts could come up $5.6
billion short for its state budget by 2002, partly because
the proposed Republican congressional budget will force
states to pick up federal programs, a report says.
Cities, towns and government authorities also will be
hard hit. and unemployment will rise, according to the
report by the Commonwealth Center for Fiscal Policy, a
liberal think tank.
For Massachusetts, the proposed federal cuts would
come when the state faces large spending commitments on
education, increasing debt service and cuts in state taxes.
"Revenues and spending are on a collision course
and little is being done to prevent a crash," the report
said.
However Robert Bliss, fiscal spokesman for Gov.
William F. Weld, told The Boston Globe the report is a
worst -case scenario.
He said it does not take into account positive trends,
and what he said was the administration's ability to cut
taxes and balance budgets.
The center figures state revenues in 2002 will be $1.9
billion less than now because of cuts in federal spending,
and cuts in the state's capital gains, bank and estate taxes.
That same year, the state will have $1.7 billion in com-
mitments under the Education Reform Act of 1995, and
to service the debt on capital projects.
"This $5.6 billion gap cannot be filled by natural rev-
enue growth, since it is unlikely that revenue growth will
greatly exceed the natural growth in the cost of providing
services." the report said.
"It can only be filled by some combination of reneging
on spending commitments for infrastructure improve-
ments and education, making drastic cuts in other ser-
vices, and-or increasing state taxes," it said.
The center said the sales tax would have to be doubled
to 10 percent to make up the entire difference, and not
cut spending.
It also said the drop in government spending would hurt
the Mate's economy, and that a national study predicted the
unemployment rate in Massachusetts in 10 .vear> would be
5.8 percentage points higher than it would have been.
Federal cuts could total $2.2 billion for cities, towns
and governmental authorities and commissions during the
next seven years, a 20 percent reduction, the center said.
It also said cities and towns could be hurt even more
because the state would be likely to cut back on local aid
and the communities' taxing powers are limited by
Proposition 2 1/2.
Federal cuts would hurt low income families the most
with reductions in Medicaid and government services,
while wealthy residents and big businesses would benefit
from the tax policies, the center said.
The center was created by the Tax Equity Alliance for
Massachusetts and is financed by the Ford Foundation,
the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation and the Boston
Foundation.
"If you take the worst possible assumptions and
assume that all the fiscal acuity this administration has
shown since 1991 suddenly vanishes, then I suppose you
could come up with this sort of scenario," Bliss told the
Globe.
He said the Weld administration has increased the
state's rainy day fund and will continue to limit debt ser-
vice increases to I to 2 percent a year.
The state's ability to control rising Medicaid spending
will help, he said.
Teacher, wife caught in sex scandal
By Michael Raphoek
Aiiociat«d Press
ABINGTON. Pa. — It started out
as afternoon homework sessions at
the fifth-grade teacher's house, where
one pupil says if he got a question
right, he got to kiss the teacher's
wife.
It degenerated into overnight par-
ties filled with beer, marijuana and
sex with the teacher's wife as he
watched or, at least orKC, joined in,
prosecutors say.
Seven students, aged I 5 to 17,
have come forward to say they drank
beer and smoked marijuana that
David Miller and his wife, Maryannc,
gave them at their house. Two boys
say they had sex with Mrs. Miller,
one once and the other more than 60
times in the past year.
The Millers were ordered Tuesday
to stand trial on a laundry list of
criminal charges, including involun-
tary deviate sexual intercourse,
statutory sexual assault, criminal
conspiracy and intimidation of wit-
nesses.
They have denied the charges,
although police say Mrs. Miller con-
fessed to giving the youths beer and
marijuana and having sex with one
boy with her husband sometimes
joining them.
Miller's attorney. Roger B.
Reynolds jr.. said the confession was
coerced Plus, he said, the teen-agers
had tried marijuana and beer before
they met the Millers.
"We're not dealing with the Hardy
Boys here." he said. Mrs. Miller
echoed that Wednesday, in a brief
interview at the couple's home in
Abington, a suburb just north of
Philadelphia. Standing in the door-
way, a wilted Halloween pumpkin
carved to a frown on the porch, she
acknowledged that a few of the
charges were true.
"Some of them." she said. "But it's
not like we lured them in or any-
thing."
In court papers. Miller only admits
to giving the youngsters occasional
sips of beer
According to police and prosecu-
tors, the outgoing, popular couple
gained the trust of parents by inviting
the teenage boys and girls into their
home to study and do homework.
Miller had worked with kids for
years, coordinating the before —
and after — school program al a
YMCA before landing his teaching
job 2 1/2 years ago. At Highland
Elementary School, he coached a
team in an academic competition to
a Southeastern Pennsylvania cham-
pionship. He headed up a Boy Seoul
troop.
"He seemed to present a picture of
a very bright, dedicated teacher." said
Abington School District
Superintendent lames McCafferty.
The picture began to change near
the end of August. Police rcsporKled
to a disturbance call at the Millers'
home and found a I 3-year-old boy

The loss of a great leader
Saiurdity evening, moments after a prv>-p«:ace rally in
Tel Aviv. Israel's Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was
shot and killed in cold blood
Like ms parent's generation who remember where they
were when Kennedy was shot, mv generation who remem-
ber where they were when the Challenger blew up. and
my brother's generation when the 0.|. ^^^^^_^^^_
Simpson verdiei was announced, lews
across the world will remember
where they were when Rabin was
shot
I don't watch much television, but I
do try to listen to the radio as often as
possible, and on Saturday I was lis-
tening while I was straightening my
room. I was inaking my bed. when the
announcer said. "This just came over
the wire, but Israel's Prime Minister.
Yitzhak Rabin has been shot. He is
currenilv being taken to the hospiial."
I fell a bit stunned, but no one had
said dead. I thought for sure that it
was a minor gunshot, and there was
nothing to worry about. I woke up Sunday morning,
opened my door to go to the balhn.>oni. and looked down
al m\ Sunday Boston Ulohe. My eves immediately caught
the words "Rabin shot dead" — in my early morning stu-
por. I was siunncxl and speechless.
So taken aback. I sat down on the floor and started to
read the article. As I quickly scanned the article. I became
sad and angry, and had all the emotions one feels with a
death. Why did this happen at such an important lime in
Jewish- Palestinian relations'.' How could one lew kill
another lew in the name ol political justice'.'
Perhaps this struck me so closely because of mv
ludaism Most .American lews want to visit Israel some
time during their lifetime — the idea of a Jewish home-
land gives the feeling of safely. All lews automatically
have citizenship in Israel, and the common belief is
that if the I' S ever got loo bad in terms of
/ had the dream I
would someday travel
to Israel and see people
living together in peace
— all citizens of Israel.
I had hoped I could see
Rabin speak on Israeli
ground.
Mami E. Heifner
anti-Semitism, lews could depart for Israel and be
accepted there.
I too have this dream and belief. Except I wanted to be
there when Rabin was. Rabin was a man who encouraged
peace, and this was reassuring in a time when most dias-
pora lews are starting to realize that Israel is also the holy
__^^^_^^__^ land for Muslims. Christians and
Palestinians, too.
I had the dream I would someday
travel to Israel and see people living
together in peace — all citizens of
Israel. I had ho|)ed I could see Rabin
speak on Israeli ground. This soft,
gentle, man, the leader of a new-
Israel, was a leader thai could change
the way the middle east and the way
it was viewed by the world.
I'm not saying Rabin was perfect.
Far from it. He was a soldier, a nego-
tiator, a politician, who advocated
war. But he will always be remem-
bered for his most recent efforts with
Nasser Arafat and Shimon Peres,
including the Nobel Peace Prize they received in 1994.
Rabin's death at close range will have terrifying after
shocks. The crack down on the Israeli right will be sharp
and fast. The peace ptucess I have waited so long for will
come screeching to a halt. The way in which lews and
Israelis were beginning to live their lives without fear will
stop.
So what more can be said about a leader who will be
forgotten by most Americans within two months? Rabin
will be missed. His life will be remembered but his legacy,
unfonunaiely, may not.
As I sit here writing this, tears stream down my face for
a man I never met. yet did more for my people than I will
ever fathom. As millions of jews across the world recite
the mourner's kaddish. the death one man has left our
lives changed for ever.

Letters to the Editor
Takifig thitigs for
granted
To the tditor:
It was a typical Friday aftem«X)n.
We were all doing the scouting
reports for the nights' parties. To tell
you the truth, I was realK looking
forward to going out and doing Ihe
UMass routine, getting drunk, stum-
bling home, and waking up at noon
the next day.
Little did I know that this night
would be anything but normal.
Around 7:30. one of my housemate's
asked if I wanted to go to the gym
and I agreed. I wanted to keep it to a
short workout in order to still go out.
After our workout we decided to
stop by the wonderful establishment
of Big Y and pick up some snacks
On our journey over I noticed that
my friend was headed into the super-
inarkel while I was engaging in a con-
versation with a middle aged woman.
How did this conversation start'.' I
simply said hello and she began lo ram-
ble. She had just received her eviction
notice for Dec. 51 from the Boulder
apartments. The landlord had com-
plained of noise and damage to the
apartment, both of which this woman
denied. The rent was raised by over
$1 50 and this woman didn't know what
to do. She w as injured in 1 9K0 and was
unable to work, was reccniK divorced,
was barely getting by linancially, and
most importantly she had two children.
One ul these children was beside her on
the park bench, asleep and shivering.
They didn't even have a ride home that
evening and couldn't afford a taxi
As an elementary education and
psychology major. I am very driven to
help people and this situation struck
me hard. With much experience with
children. I love the fact that they are
so innocent and eager lo learn. They
have so much life ahead ol ihem and
so much polential. ^el. in today's
world, situations such as the one
above arc all too commonplace I
couldn't look at the little giri on the
park bench, all curled up and scared,
without having my heart accelerate
and race with emotion.
Why am I writing this? I just want-
ed to stop anyone who may read this
and have them think about how lucky
we really are. So many of us worry
about trivial things such as grades
and in my case, girls, that the real
suffering is overlooked.
All I ask is that we all take just a
little time out to reach out to some
one, whether it be volunteering time
or merely talking to those in need.
Visit a homeless shelter and open
your eyes to the reality. Don't get me
wrong. I love to party just like every-
one and I have strong aspirations of
my own and by no means am I advo-
cating against these ideas.
All I'm trying to say is lake a look
around and be thankful you have
what you have and help somebody
who doesn't. Even the simple actions
do so much. I'll leave you with a final
vision. Picture your little brother or
si.ster or favorite toddler laying on a
park bench with so much doubt and
fear. Need I say more.

Cartoon doesn't pre-
sent paper's views
To the Editor;
This letter is in response to a
recent letter to the cxlitor on Nov. I ,
submitted by Project FLATBOY.
which in turn was in response to
"what appears to be an editorial
stance against the Project FLATBOY
by the Collegian staff
Supposedly this attack "began with
the cartoon Buttah." As the creator of
Buttah. I would like to say that I do
not represent the Collegian staff nor
the opinion of the staff in any way.
shape or form, since I am not even a
member of the staff. Also, the car-
toon in question was not directly
meant to be an attack against the
band Project FLATBOY. The cartoon
Buttah is. in its own way, a commen-
tary on life wnthin the Butterfteld dor-
mitory. The cartoon which featured
Project FLATBOY was about the
Butterfield Columbus Day Clean-Up,
an actual event in which we were
forced to remove dozens of FLAT-
BOY stickers from window, doors,
mirrors and furniture.
Personally, and I believe most of
Butterfteld would agree, I felt like my
home was desecrated when I awoke
the morning after Octoberfest to see
the entire inside of Butterfield stick-
crcd. It is even more disturbing when
one takes into consideration the fact
that Butterfield was recently renovat-
ed and the residents are being care-
fully monitored and trusted to keep
the dorm clean and treat it
respectably. After all the efforts the
community has taken thus far to kept
the place in order, this stickering was
like a stab in the back.
Project FLATBOY seems to feel
that they are the victims of some hor-
rible unfair attack based only on mis-
informed judgment and bias. Rather,
I think that the negative connotation
the word "FLATBOY" brings to mind
for many people has to do with their
destructive advertising techniques.
No, I have never seen them perform
nor heard them play, but even if I
was to do so, the negative feeling I
have towards Project FLATBOY
because of their means of advertising
would far overshadow any opinions I
might form upon hearing their music,
even if I absolutely loved it.

Opinion/Editorial
Safe and sexless
Mark
McGrath
To screw or not to screw.' That is the question. For
me it's really not a question al all. I am a member
of a minority group on campus and in society. I am
a virgin.
You may not hear that statement very often, because in
this day and age to be a virgin is to be a type of outcast. It
doesn't seem normal. I'm not saying society looks down
on virgins. It's just that everyone wants to be cool, and
being sexually active has somehow become synonymous
with being cool.
That. I believe, is a result of the barrage
of sexually explicit advertisements we face
every day in magazines, newspapers and
television. Take a look at the average beer
commercial. Advertisers don't just sell
their product anymore. In addition to beer they're also
selling sex. In a society where the primary means of gel-
ling attention is through sex, it's no wonder someone who
doesn't fit the mold feels like an outsider
I remember when a friend told me that I had a big "\'"
stamped across my forehead, and until I had sex, I wasn't
going to get rid of it. It was then that I started to leel pres
sure to be like him and my other friends I knew I didn't
feel comfortable with the label, but I also knew I wasn't
quite ready to get rid of it.
At that point. I probably would have had sex wHh ttrtv-
onc available just to get the weight ull in\ shouWers. but
luckily. I was able lo get the chance Bv the time I startixl
getting opportunities, I realized I wasn't quite ready lor it
Needless to say, because of bad timing and good luck, I
never was able to do what I wanted so much and so little
lodo.
Since then. I have become more comfortable with my
status. Now. I'm fully able to handle Ihe digs I'll occasion-
ally get from the "sex machines" who live around me. In
fact I can turn the situation around and can get a few
shots in for mvself.
Contrary to what many would have you believe, there
are many advantages to being a virgin. First, knowing that
you haven't had sex is a good way of being sure you don't
have any children floating around out there. It also mini-
mizes your chances of contracting a number of sexually
transmitted diseases Everyone has heard the only really
safe way of preventing these things from happening is
through abstinence, but how many actually heed that
advice?
One time, a woman I worked with found
out I was a virgin and had a good laugh at
my expense. Meanwhile, she had two
young children at home with no father in
sight and a job working a cash register try-
ing to support them Although I didn't
offer a response to her comments, I knew who deservc-d
to be laughed at.
Having your virginity is actually something to be proud
of. Once lost. It can never be regained. To retain it is a
difficult choice lo make. It's more a matter of delaying
gratification than anything else.
I know eventually I will meet some-one who I will be
absolutely crazy about, and when the time is right. I'll be
able to show her just how important she is to me She'll
know I'll have wailed my whole life to find someone as
special as her Then. I will be glad that I never lost it in a
drunken fling with someone I'd never see again.
Until then. I may have a big "V" stamped on mv fore-
head, bul I'm not going to try and hide it. It's nothing to
be ashamed of In fact. I'm glad it's still there, because it
means I still have something I value very much.
I haven't lost my virginity to someone who doesn't
deserve ii. and I haven't lost it because society tells me
that to keep it isn't cool. Therefore, while I may have a
"V" stamped on my forehead, the "V" stands for victory,
something I can be proud of.

Multiculturalism is here to stay
Hernan
Rozanberg
United States citizens, generally
known as "Americans" to
most, are by and large the
most lethargic, apathetic and igno-
rant of peoples when it comes lime to
question the status quo and think for
themselves. Regrets go to that small
percentage of people who do not fall
into this category — but the point
stands strong nonetheless.
Never is this more clear than in the
example of political discourse. Barely
half the population votes in general
elections, not even considering the
percentage of those who even know
who is running and what is his or her
platform.
Bul let me not
digress, for the point of
this piece is to specifi-
cally tai-get the lethargy,
apathy and ignorance of
UMass students regarding current criti-
cal issues on this campus. One such
isiiue is multiculturalism: what il means,
who does il include, where does it
apply, when was it conceived and how
has it been used by different people.
Most likely no one even recalls the
Multicultural Affairs double-spread
issue of Oct. 25. when this debate
was put on the table. Professors, stu-
dents and University staff all look the
lime to give insightful and contrast-
ing analyses of this controversial
theme. If one takes into consideration
the most debated issues of this cam-
pus. I do not think it loo far- fetched
to say multiculturalism ranks as one
of the lop items.
The articles in those two pages
stand now as priceless evidence that
the debate on this issue is far from
over, and that further dialogue is des-
perately needed if things arc lo be al
least attempted to be worked out. But
what has happened? Not one letter
has been received in response to any
single article in the page: there were
in total 12 articles, and there are over
25.000 students at the University. If
this is not a sad. real demonstration
of lethargy, apathy and ignorance,
some one please tell me what is.
"As members of a society engaged
in a social compact, we have to find
ways lo reconcile very deep divisions
in our community." wrote Ricardo
Towmes. "The challenge for the com-
munities of Ihe University ... is not to
sort and hierarchize. but to connect
and transcend." said Chancellor Scott.
"Multiculturalism is an elite
Eurocentric term contrived lo pro-
vide an alternate focus on a waiting
list in order to keep such elite's from
addressing the issues of classism and
racism." added loyce W. Vincent. "At
best the debate ... is largely irrele-
vant. At worst it is the discourse of
fools, charlatans or both ... Besides,
the entire discussion is at least a cen-
tury and a half too lale. By now. the
issues are moot, the decisions long
since taken and the case (and the
American mind) closed." points out
Michael Thclwell.
Are these few quotes,
in and of themselves,
not enough for a reac-
tion, people? Hello? Are
you all good ol' plain
American zombies, or is ihtTC still a beat
of life reverberating somewhere, deep
inside, so deep that not even the heart
can hear il? I will not stand for the argu-
ment that goes, "a lot of people probably
do not know enough about the issues so
as to respond to them." Rubbish! If you
do not know enough, then be humanly
decent and take all the steps you need to
get to know — ask questions, get
answers, read diflcrent angles and difTer-
ent argumenis, formulate some kind of
personal ideology regarding the is,suc ...
but do something about il, damn it!
It was unbelievable that
Wednesday, when the Multicuhural
Affairs double-page came out. lo
just sit and observe people as they
opened up the Collegian. While stu-
dents of color at least stopped al the
sight of the two pages, most white
people I saw barely even seemed to
notice il. Is it loo scary a subject for
people? Hell. I must assume that
some may be too damn stupid to
even understand a few sentences,
but for most, is it too intimidating to
risk finding out what you really
know or where you stand on this
issue?
Those students, professors and
staff dedicated themselves to com-
posing well-written and carefully
thought-out pieces. Are you going lo
tell me that absolutely no one has got
anything lo say about anything stated
in those pieces? Perhaps so, perhaps
so — I don't even need to give my
take on what ihis means, now do I?
Whether we like it or not, multicul-
turalism affects us all. Yes, this
includes white people loo. How,
exactly? Well, no one knows precisely,
and this is why further debate and dia-
logue are indecxl desperately needed.
Nonetheless, white people must not
take the luxurv to stand idle in a time
like Ihis. Isn't it so easy to say. "well,
since that doesn't concern me, I don't
need to worry about it." This is the
very epitome of American decadence.
Everybody needs lo worry about it!
This, of course, does not make life a
bed of roses or everything nice with
sugar and spice. No. far from it.
While many white people are tak-
ing this easy way out, so- called eth-
nic minorities (actual global majori-
lies) are sweating to improve their
communities. Bul then the white indi-
vidual will say, "I offered to help, bul
my involvement is not wanted."
lllusionary! Not wanted? You cannot
begin to think that while your ances-
tors enslaved, tortured, raped, killed
or exiled your neighbor's ancestors,
that this will not be remembered. Bul
the white individual replies once
again: "I didn't do it. and you cannot
hold me personally responsible for it."
This much I can agree with.
However, this doesn't excuse you not
going to your community to bring the
debate and make each other under-
stand what wrongs were done in the
past. While people firsl need lo look
inward to find some trulh, while peo-
ple of color lake their time lo build up
and strengthen their own communities
''.V themselves. Direct help this lime
will need to come when the latter ask
for It. not when the former impose il. It
will have lo be on AI.ANA terms this
lime, and this is what white people
(even those with honest and positive
intentions) still fail to comprehend.
So then, what is multiculturalism?
I don't know, bul at least I am doing
something to try to understand what
II is. and how it is that it does affect
everybody in one way or another. I
suggest thai people get a copy of
those two pages that were published
on Oct. 25. and rethink if it's really
true that they have nothing to do
with multiculturalism.

Program help^
woman's business
A new pilot program started in
October at Northeastern
University in Boston, called
Women arid Enterprise, has begun
in order to help women of color
learn how to manage and devel-
op a successful business.
The program, two years in the
iitdking now, has been strength-
ened by substantial input from
women business owners. It also
enables women to gain an equal
share of economic power.
Women and Enterprise is pri-
marily lor would-be and current
women business owners and is
one ol the more comprehensive
.ind affordable programs in the
Boston area.
"Our programs respond to tt>e
new face of entrepreneurship:
women, often home-based,
often with no employees. Many
want women counselors, men-
tors, instructors so they won't be
ashamed of their gaps in busi-
ness knowledge and skills or
embarrassed if they leave a ses-
sion to rush home to care for
(heir kids," said Andrea Silbert,
the group's full-time chief exec-
utive and confounder.
Their are currently 7 7 million
temale^jwned hrms operating in
the United States today and the
start-up rate for women's enter-
prises is twice that of men's.
Five Boston women
receive awards
five city employees who have
demonstrated leadership, initia-
tive and dedication in serving
the public, have been named to
receive this years Henry
Shattuck Public Service Awards.
The Shattuck Awards, first pre-
sented in 1985, are given annually
by the Boston Municipal Research
Bureau. The awards are named for
Henry L. Shattuck, a lawyer, busi-
ness man, state representative and
city councilor who strove to
ensure that public funds were
accounted for and officials were
held accountable for their actk>ns.
The awards were presented on
Oct. 25 to:
-• Delwrah Coddard, project
director of Hope 6, a program to
renovate public housing.
• Barbara Hamilton, executive
assistant in the Parks and
Recreation Department.
• Patricia McMahon, executive
director of the Mayor's Youth
Council.
• Marianne Regan, an execu-
tive assistant in the Office of
Budget Management.
• Gladys Rodriguez, ari emer-
gency medical technician in the
Department of Health and
Hospitals.
If men lived in a
woman's world
In an editorial in the Boston
C/obe Oct. 19, free-lance writer
Linda Weltner wrote a column
about what it would be like if
men would spend one day in
women's shoes.
Weltner said:
• Every time you read a paper
or watch TV to find out what
world leaders are doing, you
see the names and faces of
women
• When you go to church, the
top religious leaders — popes,
bishops, ministers and rabbis-
are women
"I'd love to see men spend
even one day in such a world, or
just long enough for them to
understand why I had to speak
out even though The Ttmes,
which owns this newspaper, is
the hand that feeds me i may not
have power. I still have my voice,"
said Weltner.
Panel discusses budget cuts
By Aimee Sc)rw«if1z
CoHagion Staff
Budget cuts and tuition hikes have
negatively effected the accessibility of
the University of Massachusetts to
older women, working class and
minority students, said panelists who
participated in last Thursday's discus-
sion titled "Gutting the University:
What Ended Up in the Wastebin."
Carol Wallace, director of the
Everywoman's Center, spoke about
the effect of these Hnancial decisions
on low income women who return to
school after years of not being in
school.
"Higher education has been
increasingly used by low income
women as the means to improve
their lives and the lives of their fami-
lies ... Access to higher education is
the key for women to achieve
self sufficiency." she said.
Between 1972 and 1988 the
Everywoman's Center had a program
called the Women's Admission and
General Educational Support
Program (WAGES) for re-entry
women.
This program helped low income
women get a quality education. It
provided academic support and advo-
cacy for child care, financial aid atnl
other resources. The university elimi-
nated the WAGES Program because
of budget cuts. Wallace said
Since then the university has seen a
decline in the number of low income
women attendants.
The Everywoman's Center contin
ues to receive requests for informa-
tion about the services at UMass
from low- income women. These
women are referred to other private
colleges in the area that have pro-
grams for them, Wallace said.
"Here at the public institution of
higher education there is nothing.
Basicly. public higher education in
Massachusetts has really closed its
doors to the 50 percent of single
mothers who are living below the
poverty line." she said.
Kathy WTiynoll. a re-entry woman
who is graduating this year, described
the difficulties of going to schcx^l and
raising a family at the same lime.
"I'm caught in the middle all the
time. I wish I could enjoy | school)
more." she said.
Arlene Avakian. an associate pro-
fessor of women's studies at UMass.

dreams, your sorrows, your hope.
Therefore we are all quite alike; indeed at the core we all one, all lost — and found —
in the same mysterious enterprise that is life.
Hold this in your heart as you go about your day, and the world will cease to be inhab-
ited by strangers, and the burden of life itself will no longer be a process of loneliness.

Styles... Connie where
are you?
The modern day
women is supposed to
be able to juggle a
career, and still remain
About a month ago I was on my
way to Boston with my boyfriend and /j/^ (jnf Ore theSC idcols
two friends. We had been seated on .. . ,^„
the train lor about ten minutes when reallStlC.
a few innocent looking individuals
boarded the ttain. None of us took much notice to these
people, mostly because we were too enthralled with the
prospect of how much we were going to drink that night.
As the train began moving one of my friends pointed
out a gathering of teens at one of the train stops.
She asked "why would anyone hang out at a tram
stop"*" Well then that is when one of the innocent looking
individuals piped up. She began talking about where she
hung out when she was a kid and how some of the places
w^re a lot weirder than train stations.
I was pretty surprised that this complete stranger would
even take the time to talk to us. I am not very fond of
talking to random people on trains so I kind of hung back
and just took everything in.
_^^^^^___ After awhik' of reminiscing about her
childhixxl one of my frierKis asked her
where she was aiming fixjm. The woman
who looked as though she might have
just jumped off a Hariey or out of a bar-
rcxwn began to tell us. (I wasn't paying
attentitm remember) about how she had
just returned from a nxk climbing group.
She seemed as though she was just
waiting to tell someone, anyone who
would listen all about her adventures
and her new found freedom. She was
a 40 year -old woman who had just
begun to live. As she sat there talking
to a group a perfect strangers with
her fingers full of climbing tape and
shoes strapped lo her back, she
seemed invigorated.
She told us of her first climbing
experience and how she never
thought for a minute she would make
it. but once she did she has never
turned back. Instead of silling in the
house struggling with Cindy
Crawford's workout video, she was
out there doing il herself.
When she reached her stop she
made one final attempt to reassure us
youngsters that it's never too late, and
judging from her whole disposition. I
could tell it never is.
To me she was an inspiration. A modem day role model
from sotneone who wasn't glamorous or even successful,
but was out there doing what she wanted, pushing the
limits in her own life. She was a women living her lifeeo
the fullest. Not to say that for a few minutes I wouldn't
want to be Cher in my 40s. but I think the healthy
approach the woman we met on Ihe train held was realis-
tic.

Dr. Love discusses breast cancer issues
Lectures on the risksf preventions, treatments & outcomes
By Aimee Schwortx
Collegian Staff
Dr. Susan Love, author of Dr.
Susan Love's Breast BcHik. spoke
about "Breast Cancer: Risks.
Prevention. Treatment and
Outcome" to a full audience in
Wright Hall Auditorium al Smith
College last Friday night.
While the cause of Breast Cancer
is unknown, clues to its cause do
exist. Love said.
"All cancer is genetic. It's all
screwed up genes. Sometimes you
inherit the screwed up genes.
Sometimes you inherit normal genes
and something comes along in the
environment that screws up the
gene." she said.
Researchers are trying to find the
answers to two key questions.
"What are the screwed up genes and
what is screwing them up?" Love
siiid
Most inherited cancers work by
what is called the Two Hit ThcH)ry
If a woman inherits the BRCAl
(Breast Cancer II gene, she has an
JtO percent chance of getting some
thing else from the environment
that will activate the second mula
lion necessary lo develop cancer.
Love siiid
A blood test to check for the
BRCAl gene will be- available with
in a year, but Love warned women
against getting tested until safe
guards are in place. "If you get test
ed (now) for it. you probably will
never get health insurance in this
country again." she said.
It is a commtm misconception
that younger women are more at
risk than older women, said Love.
It is the other way around. Women
over 50 are the ones who should be
getting mamagrams.
Mamagranis are less accurate in
women under 35 because young
breast tissue and cancer tissue are
both white. [>octors cant tell the
difference between the dilfeient lis
sues. It is only when women are
older that their breasts begin to
change and the breast tissue
becomes grey that doctors can
delect cancer.
The other major factor in the
development of breast cancer is
homtones. said Love. Women who
menstruate early and go through
menopause late are at a higher risk
for cancer. Women who go
through menopause early and do
not take hormone replacements can
reduce their risk of getting cancer.

Highlights from Noho Film Fest
By Laura Stock
Collegion Staff
NOKTHAMFTON FILM FESTIVAL
Nortfiomptoo
Ste». 3-5
N'arious movie screens around Northampton displayed
ihe work of both national and local independent filmmak-
ers at (he first annual Northampton Film Festival this past
weekend.
The fact that festival organizers Howard Polonski and
Dee DeGeiso are calling it "first annual.' coupled with the
favorable turnout is indicative of good things to come in
the future.
The festival opened Friday night with a reception at the
Words & Pictures Museum. A buffet adorned with popu-
lar dishes from local restaurants was provided for the
filmmakers who mingled with the most devoted of movie
buffs.
Following the reception, the Academy of Music hosted
a presentation by Frederick Marx, one of the creators of
llovp Dreama. Marx told the story of how he and the
other Hoop Dreama collaborators. Steve lames and Peter
Gilbert started the project on a $2,500 budget, with the
inieniion of making it a half-hour educational documen-
iar> for PBS.
.Marx explained that with all of the juicy footage they
were blessed with in a matter of weeks, they did not want
lo slop shooting. Given their financial situation they
couldn't stop shooting — their costs were taken care of
while filming, but once they finished they would need out-
ride funding. Fortunately for audiences who so extensively
cnioved Uoop Dreams, they didn't stop for over five
\ears. and the documentary followed the stories of hoop
lireamers William Gates and Arthur Agce throughout
I heir high school careers.
Marx did wind up filming an educational movie for PBS
in the middle of making Hoop Dreams, called Higher
Coals — an Emmy nominated film for children about
staying in school and putting professional basketball aspi-
rations in perspective. Higher Coals was screened, along
with out- takes from Hoop Dreams, all tied together by
Marx's speech.
On Saturday morning, a seminar on legal and business
issues in film production and distribution was presented
by the Massachusetts Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts. The
rest of Saturday's program was comprised of film screen-
ings, including David Sutherland's Oul of Sight — the
story of a blind cowgirl, who is an independent woman
breaking stereotypes of being blind or female.
Vince Fago, animator of one of the first feature-length
animated films, Mr. Bug Coes to Town, spoke and pre-
sented the film on Saturday night. Fago explained how the
early animation was done, and spoke about his career,
which includes animation of B<'//y Boop and Popeye.
Don Was' documentary about Beach Boy Brian Wilson.
/ lust Wasri't Made for These Times, was also presented
on Saturday night. The moving siory about Wilson's life
juxtaposed his battles in drug abuse and troubled relation-
ships with his sixties-icon fame and successful career as a
songwriter.
On Sunday morning, Spoleto hosted a brunch with spe-
cial guest Ken Bums. Burns, the award-winning docu-
mentary filmmaker of The CinI War and the PBS series.
Baseball, held a question and answer session about his
career and his documentaries.
Sunday's selection of films included those by invited
filmmakers. Buddy Squires' documentary. Listening to
Children: A Moral journey with Robert Coles, described
social psychologist Coles' case studies of children and the
environments they grow up in.
With such a wide variety of films featured and excellent
presentations by distinguished guests, the first annual
Film Festival will no doubt become a welcome addition to
the Fall festivities in Northampton for years to come.
Mohawk singers set to perform

The Awesasne Mohawk Singers
The Augusta Savage Gallery will continue its 25th
Anniversary celebration with a special performance by
The Akwesasne Mohawk Singers tonight at 7 p.m..
The Akwesasne (pronounced Aqua-zahss-nee) are
among the foremost performers of Native American tradi-
tions in North America today. Their stories and myths tell
the origin of the Iroquois, the unity of the people, female
life forms and the exploits of the animals.
The Singers perform in ribbon shirts, sashes and jewel-
ry and will often appear in full Mohawk dress. They use
the water drum, cowhorn rattles and other traditional
instruments lo accompany their performances. Wampum
belts and other cultural artifacts are used to help the audi-
ence understand the Mohawk culture.
Dances performed by the Akwesasne include stomp,
round, women's and couples' dances, all performed to the
accompanying songs. All of the social dances can be per-
formed for both native and non-native audiences.
However, ceremonial songs are only sung within the
native community.
Currently residing on ancestral land along the St.
Lav^ence River where upstate New York meets southern
Ontario and Quebec, the group has entertained and
delighted audiences in such varied locations as the
Carnegie Hall, the Smithsonian Festival of American
Folklife as well as the Canadian Museum of Civilization.
The Augusta Savage Callery is located in the New
Africa House in the Central Residential Area. The perfor-
mance is free and open lo the public. For more informa-
tion, call 545- 5/77.

John Doe to do his thing at the Iron Horse
By Wayken SImw
Coll«gian Staff
The Iron Horse Music Hall continues its string of top
notch shows with a performance by the |ohn Doe Thing
tonight.
A legend of sorts, |ohn Doe took part in arguably
Los Angeles' greatest punk export. X. Fronting a scene
in the mid to late "TOs with bands like the Germs, the
Weirdos and the Motels. X defined the Do-it-Yourself
ideology with a highly evolved sound (ranging from
rockabilly, country and good ol' rock and roll) that did
without the punk rock shtick of slaying "indie."
While the current punk phenomenon has had little
trickling down effect on the band. X is still going on
strong in '95. Bassist/vocalist Doc has even seen some
recognized influence from fellow L.A. scenesters like the
Minutemen, Red Hot Chili Peppers and jane's
Addiction.
On hiatus from X, Doe's first solo outing. Meet John
Doe (Geffcn) released in 1990. was a roots rock album
ihat contained strong material yet considered a debacle by
many.
The follow-up and latest record. Kissingsohard
(Forward), continues the showcase of Doc's songwriling
prowess and poetic sophistication, yet makes itself quite
clear that the John Doe Thing is indeed a band. With
Smokcy Hormel (The Blasters) on guitar. Brad Houser
(Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians) on bass and |oey
Waronkcr (Beck and Walt Mink) in support.
Kissingsohard covers Doe's country folk and hard rock
sides on a more band oriented level, rather than having it
be a singer/songwriter showcase.
With over 1 5 years of road experience and a new band
in tow. lohn Doe should have no trouble turning in a solid
performance without regurgitating his glorious past.

Lark Quartet entertained Bowker Browns move to Baltimore in 96
By Man Sinclair
Collegian Staff
THE LAKK QUAKTn
Bowker Auditorium
Nov. 5
Bowker Auditorium came alive Sunday evening as a
capacity audience united in welcoming the l.ark Ouartet
back lo the Univcrsiiy of Massachusetts
The Lark Quartet was invited to help ihc Fine Arts
Center celebrate ihcir 25th anniversary. The highlight of
Ihe event was the world premiere of a FAC commissioned
piece by Bulgarian prodigy Penka Kouneva.
The piece, entitled "Siring Ouartet." consisted ol
three movements, each representing a different mov>d
and feeling. The first movement. "Fiddlers." was a
mixture of fast- moving and turbulent themes, but
also included an element of softer, more sonorous ele-
ments. The second. "Nestinarki." was a powerful and
vivid movement based on an ancient rite in
Souih-Easiern Europe in which men and women
dance barefoot over burning embers. The pitch
increased to quite literally the breaking point, climax
ing in dramatic style as a siring broke. The final move-
ment. "Incantation." was based around a single mclod
ic drone; this movement has its origins in ancient folk
practices and was an eclectic mix of old and new.
The quartet not only interpreted contemporary works,
but also performed Borodin's "Siring Quartet No 2 in D."
a more classical piece. Frederick Tillis. FAC dircclor, also
premiered a piece, "Spiritual Fantasy No. 12." This song
was used as the platform-piece for the start of the concert,
introducing each musician's talents and allowing the audi-
ence to experience a whole range of musical expertise.
The music was of the highest calibre and the per
lormers proved themselves a part of the new breed,
traversing old distinctions that have previously placed
barriers between old and new. Quartets such as the
t.ark will ensure chamber music has a safe transit into
the 2 I SI century, rather than relegation into the
trash-can of history, and it for that we doubly applaud
them.

New TV paclugc
NFVV YORK - Baseball announced
ils new national television package
tcxiay, a five-year deal that returns all
postseason games to nationwide T\'
and guarantees each major league team
more than $50 million.
The deals with NBC. Fox. ESPN
and Liberty Media give teams atx>ul
Xi percent ol the national broadcast-
ing revenue that was generated from
I'JW-'JJ under contracts wilh CBS
and ESPN.
They replace The Baseball Network,
a joint venture among the teams. ABC
and NBC. and a deal wilh ESPN
Teams estimate ihey will receive
slightly more than $7 million in
ruilional broadcasting money this year.
And ihey ensure all postseason
games will be available lo fans
nationwide, scrapping the regional-
ized broadcasts thai were heavily crit-
icized last month
NBC and ABC angrily pulled oul
ol TBN last June. Al the lime. NBC
Sports president Dick Fbersol said
his network wouldn't televise base-
ball again until the next millennium,
adding that baseball owners had
dealt wilh his network and ABC
unfairly. Baseball owners agreed to
those deals in the spring of 1495
because they felt they would have a
difficult lime gelling up-front fees
lollowing poor ratings under the
CBS deal, which caused that network
about $51)0 million in losses over
four vears.
But Fox's December 1995 deal
wilh ihe NFL changed the
marketplace. Acting commissioner
Bud Selig waited until ABC's and
NBC's exclusive negotiating period
expired, hired veteran negotiator
Barry Frank and then let Frank shape
the deals during the past month.
Under the deals. Fox gels the
World Series in 1996. I99« and
2000. the All Star game in 1997 and
1999. half the league championship
series each year, shares the first
round of the playoffs wilh .NBC and
ESPN and an exclusive Saturday
game ol the week during the season.
NBC gets the Worid Senes in 1997
and 1999. the All Star game in I99t).
1998 and 2000 and half the league
championship series ESPN continues
it Wixinesday night doublehcaders and
exclusive Suruiay night games, extend
ing ils deal one year through 2000.
Liberty Media gels two nonexclusive
games each week starting in 1997.

Prevention
Exercise, diet and living choices
have a lot to do with the prevention
of cancer, said I ove
"It's been shown that if you exer-
cise more than three limes a week,
you reduce the risk of Breast Cancer
by 50 percent." she said.
Originally, doctors thought having a
diet low in fat reductxl a woman's risk
of Breast Cancer. It may not be fat.
said Love. According lo a study of
Japanese women, it may be Ihe pres-
ence of soy protein that reduces the
risk of Breast Cancer.
Too much alcohol can increase a
woman's risk of Breast Cancer. Iaivc
suggests rx) more than three drinks a
week.
Avoiding extra radiation and
carsinigents will lower a woman's
risk of Breast Cancer, said Love.
Some women choose lo have their
breast removed lo avoid Breast
Cancer. This is not a good option, said
lA)ve.
Doctors "can't tell where the
breast tissue is because it is emersed
in fal. It's hard to tell where the
breast lissue begins and ends We
never get all of the breast lissue oul
when we do a mastectomy. Removing
95 percent of the tissue does not
remove 95 percent of the risk.

Whatever breast lissue you have is
acted on by whatever the carsinigents
are that cause cancer. So you can
have your breast removed and slill
end up getting Breast Cancer." she
said.
Love does rKit suggest strictly fol-
lowing these prevention lips. "Live
life a little bil." she said. "Eighty per-
cent of Breast Cancer patients did
everything right and slill got it."
Treatment
By the lime a wtiman can feel a
lump in her breast, the cancer has
been there lor eight to ten years. This
is why the old method of rushing to
surgery lo remove the cancer before
it spreads does not work.
A (liagiK)sis of Breast C'anccT is ix>l an
cmcrgi-ncy Wurnen have lime lo dc-citie
what ccjurse ol action is best lur them.
Love encouraged women wilh Breast
Cancer lo communicate with their doc-
tors and lo ask questions
The Irealment for Kreasl Cancer is
determined by the advancement of it
in the body. Breast conservation is
now the preferred Irealment for
Breast Cancer, said Love. If <i breast
does nec-d lo be removed, rcconslruc
live surgery can be done directly after
the mastectomy during the same sur
gical procedure.
Oulcome
Sometimes patients receive treat
menls. do well and then ten years
later the cancer comes back. "What
were those cells doing for Icn years''
What caused them to be dormanl for
that lime'.' What caused ihctn lo be
active again? love asked these ques
lions and then added. "The future is
not in killing the cells, ii is in conlrul
ling ihein."
Advances in the treatment ol
Breast Cancer have iinproveil the
quality of women's lives, but a lot
more research needs to be done
before a cure is luund. sai<l I tivc

Men's water polo wins third Eastern Championship
By Fred HuHbnnk, Jr.
Collegian Skjff
Tounumcni MVP. Luis Limardo scored 10 goals in
three gume> to lead the University of Massachusetts men's
water polo teatn to their third straight Eastern
Championship.
"This is a significant accomplishment." said LIMass
ct>ach Russ 'Narworlh who earned his second Coach of the
^ ear Award in three years "One (championship) is great.
Two means you're giKxl Three means ... hey. these kids
ha\e done something, h'or the seniors, and the kids that
ha\e been in the program, this is a tremendous accom-
pli>hnieni "
1 iinardo. the team's scoring leader for most of the sea-
son and multiple career record holder, was quick to pass
ari>und the accolades.
"Vou win the MVP because you have a great team."
said senior co-captain Limardo. "This was a great year
for us: we played harder than we've ever played
before."
Along with Limardo. seniors Alex Mujica. co-captain
lohn Luviano. and freshman Brian Stahl earned
All-Tournament first team honors, junior Ron Gonen
made the third team.
With the victory in the Eastern Championships, the
Minutemen will head to Palo .Alto. CA with the fourth
seed in the NCAA tournament hosted by Stanford on Dec.
15.
The Minutemen jumped all over Richmond in their first
round match, winning a 16-5 decision over the sixth seed.
Limardo scored five goals in the tournament opener,
but Stahl vtole the show with a spectacular seven point
(I goal. 2 two-point goals, and 2 assists) effort.
Mujica made seven saves in the first half, while Paul
Engin staved off a second half barrage making 14
saves.
After its first round defeat of Richmond. L'Mass geared
up for it*' biggest contest of the season, a second round
>.howdown with Navy.
"This was probably as complete a game as I've seen
L'Mass play in quite a while." S'arworth said. "We domi-
nated right from the ^tart."
The Minutemen scored the only goal of the first quar-
ter, and by the end of the third quarter were up. 7-1 . The
\tid->hipmen managed to record three scores in the final
period to one UMass tally, but Mujica stified the Navy
offense recording nine saves on I 3 shots while posting
two shutout quarters.
"Alex was a vacuum in the net the whole tournament."
Yarworth said.
"I think Alex is the key to this team. If you talk to the
coaches and the players, he should be the MVP." Limardo
said.
Massachusetts' biggest moral victory of the season pro-
pelled them to a championship match-up with Queens
College, a re match of the North Division final.
Massachusetts jumped on top of Queens early, scoring
four unanswered goals in the first period. The top two
teams from the north battled for three quarters after that,
but Queens couldn't mount a serious threat as the
Minutemen coasted to a 12-7 victory and their third
ELastem Championship in as many years.
Limardo and freshman Gabriel Marrero scored two
goals apiece. Stahl recorded four point* with a two-point
goal and two assists while leading the Minutemen in stor-
ing during the three-game tournament with 1 4 points.
Gonen handed out three of his team leading eight tour-
nament assists in the final.
Luviano scored a modest seven points (three goals, four
assists) in the tournament, but led this team through the
championships with his aggressiveness and tenacity while
playing through a serious shoulder injury.
"He's gone from a ni>-play freshman to First Team All-
East performer." raved an enthusiastic Yarworth. "He's a
leader, someone everyone respects. He's tough, fast, phys-
ical. He knows the game. You need that kind of player on
a team."
Amidst all the highly publicized, successful Division
lA programs at L'Mass like basketball, field hockey and
soccer, and the press that college football gets
now-a-days. Yarworth has quietly built one of the
strongest, most consistent men's water polo teams in the
country
The Minutemen have won three straight Eastern Water
Polo Association Championships, earning three consecu
tive NCAA tournament bids along with Yarworth's two
Coach of the Year awards in relative anonymity.
Seniors l.imardo. Luviano. Mujica and Frankie Mariani
are leaving, but not before thev lead a run toward the
NCAA championship, and not before they are paid what
is due them: three years worth of respect and acknowl-
edgement for being one of the most successful organiza-
tions on campus
"These guys do it with a lot of spirit, intensity and
desire." Yarworth said.

UMass signs Babul
By Matt Vautour
Collegian Staff
With his two current small forwards expected to graduate
after this season. Massachusetts men's basketball coach |ohn
Calipari didn't have to look far to find one replacement.
Massachusetts received its third verbal commitment of
the year from North Attleborough native Mike Babul on
Sunda> and it was officially announced at a press confer-
ence yesterday.
Babul was an interesting recruit because his brother
|un. although not quite as talented as Mike, was also a
highly Miught after player. Ion announced that he would
attend Georgia Tech at the same press conference. Many
people thought that the two players would be a "package
deal" and attend the same school, but in the end the two
decided to go in separate directions.
"It will be a little weird." said Mike Babul, "because
we've been together our whole lives. We thought we'd
look at schools together, and if we found one we both
liked, we'd do it. but if we both liked different ones, we'd
go in different directions."
He added that the two would begin a friendly rivalry
when they attend this year's UMass-Georgia Tech
matchup on Dec. 22 at the Meadowlands.
Both players turned down NiMth Carolina and Clemson

UMass makes NCAA's
Minutewomen will battle Hartford in first round match-up at Qarher
By Justin C. Smith
Collegion Staff
It was selection Monday for the
180 Division 1 women's soccer teams
atros: the country. Only 24 teams
would be selected to take part in the
NCAA Championships that will begin
this weekend and the Massachusetts
Minutewomen will be a part of the
post-season festivities for the 12th
time in 1 3 years.
UMass (15-5-2) will host a first
round match -up at Garber Field
against the University of Hartford
Hawks (15-5-2) this Saturday Nov
1 1 at I p.m..
"We worked really hard because
we wanted the first NCAA game to
be at home, that's our goal." sopho-
more defender Erica Iverson said
after UMass' Atlantic 10 tournament
victory over Xavier. The 6-0 drub-
bing of the Musketeers on Sunday
solidified the first round date in the
tournament to be held in Amherst.
"I'm just happy to be playing any-
body at this point." Massachusetts
coach lim Rudy said. "I'm really
excited that we are going to hold the
game here."
These two teams have already
tangled once this season, as they
played to a scoreless tie at
Hartford's Al-Marzook Field on
Oct. I Ith. This time there will be a
winner, and which ever team
emerges victorious will battle
Connecticut in the Northeast
Regional semifinals.
The Minutewomen and the Hawks
had many common opponents over
the course of the season. Each team
played UConn. with Hartford battling
" We worked really
hard because we want-
ed the first NCAA game
to be at home, that's
our goal, " sophomore
defender Erica Iverson
said.
to a 2-2 tie, while UMass fell 2-0 to
the No. 1 seed in the Northeast.
Other common opponents includ-
ed Dartmouth. George Washington.
Cornell and Yale. UMass swept
those four opponents and beat GW
twice, while Hartford lost to
Dartmouth in their encounter with
the Big Green
The difference in playing home or
away however, probably came down
to the opponents the two teams did
not have in common. UMass downed
tournament entry Texas A&M while
Hartford fell to rwo California tuuns
that got left out of the field.
UC-Irvine and San Diego. _ ^__
"It could have gone either way. ii
was a toss up." fJartford coach
Austin Daniels said of who should
have received the home field "You
could have flipped a coin to deter-
mine who got home field, we are that
close. Of course we would of rather
been home."
Playing Hartford at home has not
been an advantage in recent history
for UMass as the last three time the
two have met on the campus at
Amherst, the Minutewomen have
failed to come away with a "W."
"We have had some success up
there, but this is the NCAA tourna-
ment now." Daniels said of playing at
UMass. "Although, we do feel com-
fortable playing on that field. We
have had success there."
Both coaches lc)ok for another bat-
tle between the two regional powers.
"It's going to be a typical
Hartford-UMass game." Rudy said.
"I don't think there are going to be
any surprises in this match."
"It going to be like Groundhog
Day.' Daniels said. "It's going to be
the same thing all over again. It's
going to be very exciting as always."
Minutewomen take Vermont
Women's swimming opens season by drilling Catamounts
By Mike Corey
Collegian Staff
In the first meet of the season, the Massachusetts
Women's swimming team came away victorious this past
.Saturday with a win over Vermont.
The Minutewomen defeated the Catamounts of the
Green Mountain State, by a score of 140-85.
Head coach for UMass Bob Newcomb was pleased with
the team's performance in this, the first meet of the year.
"We had some very good races." said Newcomb. "All
and all it was a good first meet. It also __________
gave us a chance to find out the things
we need to work on."
There was definitely some highlights
in this past meet according to
Newcomb. lunior Barbara Hickey
swam strong in the 1 000 yard freestyle
to win the event in a time of 10:39.22.
"She swam that event seven seconds
faster than her time last year, period."
said Newcomb. "She is going to be a
pretty big factor all year long."
Sophomore Irina Kossenko finished
first in the 200 meter butterily with a
time of 2:13.41. and was a strong contributor in the
Minutewomen victory.
"ffer whole attitude is great this year, and the results
are here so far." said Newcomb. "She is going to be a key
in the program for us this year."
Sophomore Sarah Baker, who is one of UMass'
strongest swimmers also swam well in the meet.
"1 think she surprised herself how fast she swam this
week." Newcomb said. "She's right there with the best of
them."
The Minutewomen swam a strong meet, however
Newcomb touched on a few keys that the swimmers need
to do to prepare themselves for future contests.
"The score was a little bit lopsided." Newcomb said.
"We had some opportunities, but overall we finished well.
We had three relay races where we won, but two of them
we were disqualified on because of false starts. Its nice to
see that we're aggressive at the start, but we can't afford
to have that continue in future meets."
Throughout the first meet, Newcomb felt his team was
well prepared, but needs to work on staying relaxed
before the race.
"I know it was the first meet, and it will take the swim-
mers a little time to get used to the format." said
^^^^^^^— _ Newcomb. "It's a different environ-
ment, and the swimmers need to
relax and concentrate on their indi-
vidual races."
Angelique Rodriguez captured
both the three meter and one meter
diving events with scores of 209.50
and 224.35. respectively.
Krystin Carpenter also dove well
this past weekend claiming second
in the three meter behind her team-
mate, and third in the one meter.
"I was impressed with her
improvement this year," said
Newcomb. "She is going to help us out a lot this year."
The Minutewomen had a variety of swimmers who per-
formed well this past weekend, helping out in the overall
team victory.
"lodi Walters, who has a great attitude, swam really fast
for us. and Kerrin McCarthy went a little faster than she
did at this time last year," said Newcomb.
"It's nice to win meets throughout the season, but we
use these duel meets to prepare for the championship
meets throughout the year," said Newcomb.
The Minutewomen will be back in action this Saturday at
home, in Boyden Gymnasium, to take on Northeastern in
the first meet at 1 p.m., with the Men to follow at 4 p.m..
" We had some very
good races. All and all
it was a good first meet.
It also gave us a chance
to find out the things
we need to work on. "

Police trying to pinpoint
motives behind shootings
By Carolyn Thompson
Associated Preu
BOSTON — What the police
base is a brazen shcwting in a crowd-
ed restaurant, four dead bcxJies and a
father, a son. and a friend in custixly.
What they're trying to figure out is
why.
A muddled Mafia picture —
caused by the imprisonment or disap-
pearance of some top crime figures in
Boston — may or may not have led to
the gunfire.
But "it probably was a personal
beef, not necessarily an organized
crime hit," Sgt. Thomas ). Foley, a
member of the state police's orga-
nized crime unit, speculated Tuesday.
Damien Clemente 20. of Medford
and Vincent lohn Perez. 27. of
Boston, pleaded inntvent Tuesday to
murder and assault and weapons
charges, a day after allegedly walking
into the W Restaurant & Pubs in the
city's Charlestown section and firing
at least 1 'i shots on the five men din-
ing in the first booth on the right.
As their pleas were being entered.
Anthony P. Clemente Sr.. father of
Damien who had shc>wn up for his
son's arraignment, was arrested inside
the courthouse. f(e also was being
held on murder and other charges.
"We are saying in fact he is one of
the shooters." said Boston Police
Commissioner Paul Evans.
Four men died in the booth:
Robert Luisi. his son, Roman, his
cousin, Anthony Sami. and a friend.
Anthony Pelosi. Sarro's brother.
Richard, staggered outside with a
bullet in his stomach
He was listed in fair condition
Tuesday after undergoing surgery at
Massachusetis General Hospital.
The shootings prompted initial
responses to violence that has
plagued the Charlestown section of
the city. But local and county author-
ities — who provided little informa-
tion on the shooting and did not
identify the dead men throughout the
day of the crime — emphasized late
Tuesday afternoon that the case had
no apparent conncxtion with the peo-
ple of Charlestown.
Robert I.uisi was reportedly a long-
time mob associate who had aligned
with a faction led by jailed New
England mob buss Francis "Cadillac
Frank" Salemme.
The Boston Globe, citing sources,
said Luisi had been helping
Salemme's brother, |ohn. collect mob
debts while Francis Salemme has
bc-en in prisi>n awaiting trial on feder-
al racketeering charges.
But experts say that, despite a
"power vacuum " that has opened up
within the New England Mafia in
recent years, it is unlikely Monday's
shooting was a "hit."
"It's just not the way to do things."
said Foley, who stressed he is not
involved in the investigation
"Typically, hits aren't done by that.
They're going to be done at night in a
less conspicuous setting, not with 50
witnesses standing there." he said.
Evans said the exact motive for the
shooting was not known, but that "ii
appears to be sume type of problem
between two groups."
Still, police were concerned about
revenge.
"Is there a concern about possible
retaliation? Absolutely." said Evans.
Experts say the New England
Mafia has been on the ropes since
reputed chieftain Raymond L.S.
Patriarca died in 1484. and that the
arrest of Salemme and indictment
and disappearance of another reput-
ed organized crime leader, lames
"Whitey" Bulger, has heightened the
disarray.
It's "a little bit like when the cat s
away, the mice are now descending
on the piece of cheese." said Edith
Flynn. professor of criminal justice at
Northeastern University. "Everybody
is taking a nibble and trying to run
with it "
But. "they don't have any experi-
enced hands at the helm to direct
them and to keep the lid on and to
enforce discipline," she said. "What
the young bucks don't realize is that
any illegal enterprise needs tough
internal discipline and enforcement."
Clemente and Perez were arrested
scxonds aftcT running from the restau-
rant by two off-duty police officers
who had stopped therv for lunch after
taking care of some court business.
fudge Peter Agnes |r. sent Perez to
Bridgewater State Hospital for 20
days of mental testing after a psychia-
trist testified at the arraignment that
Perez had seemed depressed and con-
fused during an interview.
Perez, a clerk in a city tow lot
whose father manages an Italian
restaurant and has served as a politi-
cal appointee, had a history of sub-
stance abuse and had been treated
for depression, his attorney, Philip
Tracy jr. said.
"He feels very despondent for the
pain that his family is going through
now." Trac7 said.
Newman Center stocking up
Thanksgiving food drive begins; people encouraged to donate
By Amy H. Parodysz
Collegion Staff
The seasonal window display at the Newman Center
features instant brown rice, grape jelly, macaroni and
bean soup and oat bran muffin mix.
These are not the average Thanksgiving dinner items,
but appropriate donations for the annual food drive.
All non perishable fixKf items are welcome until Nov.
18 and may be dropped off in designated barrels in the
main hallway outside the chapel.
l^st November, the Newman Center food drive provid-
c-d Thanksgiving iuod baskets, as well as staple foods, for
more than 40 needy families.
Newman Student Association (NSA) President Meg
Donnelly expects they will be able to do even more this year.
"We've got a room full of food already." Donnelly said.
"It seems like the Center has been picking up this year, at
least the NSA has."
Also, the Newman Center has added a priest, a nun and
a development director since last year.
"We've almost doubled our staff," Donnelly said.
The Newman Center gets the names of the families
from the Amherst Survival Center.
NSA members and the Newman community will be
delivering the fixxi baskets Nov. m. Area CCD students
are helping to put together the baskets.
in addition providing needy families with food,
Donnelly said the food drive is intended to raise aware-
ness within the community.
"There really is a pcx>r community (in the area] and it
tends to be overlooked." Donnelly said.

UM HomeSharing program
offers profitable exchanges
By ANison Connolly

The UMass Minuteman Hoop Band performs at the start of the men's basketball season, last night at the Mullin's Center. See related story on
page 12
The HomeSharing Program at the
University of Massachusetts offers a
profitable exchange for students and
homeowners who have compatible
needs and services.
"It's a good way to take care of
two needs at once," intern Allison
Cervini said.
FlomeSharing is an alternative
housing program which matches
homeowners with renters kwking to
exchange a service for rent. The pro-
gram began as a private non profit
organiz.ation and is now a division of
the Commuter Services Housing
Resource Center.
Program Coordinator Eric
Bruinooge said there are many home-
owners seeking child care and elderly
companionship services.
Bruinooge described elderly care as
an ideal situation for students look-
ing for a quiet place to live.
"Most elderly are only looking for
companionship and an overnight
presence." Bruinot)ge said. "We have
people who have stayed for years.
They become part of the family and
stay in touch afterwards."
Cervini said there is a great
demand for child care, appealing
most to students.
"People kxiking for child care see
UMass as a good resource." Cervini
said.
Bruinooge also described the pro-
gram as "very flexible. " Renters are
not required to stay in the home for a
certain amount of time, as do binding
leases. However, most homeowners
want stability and request renters
who will agree to stay for at least a
six month period. But "for the right
person, people will compromise."
Homeowners fill out the same
application as renters. The questions
are basic, but ask the pertinent ques-
tions tc> ensure a compatible match.
There is a $25 application fee and a
matching fee once the applicant is
placed. But Bruinooge said the pro-
gram "pays for itself" Fees may also
be waivc-d if the applicant can docu-
ment low income.
There is currently a great demand
for single females to be matched with
homeowners. Cervini said. There is
no prior experience required in order
to apply. Bruinooge said the majority
of his applicants are non- traditional,
continuing education and graduate
students. However, applicants need
not be students. Bruinooge is reach-
ing out to area women's groups such
as women's crisis centers, the
Everywoman's Center and several
shelters.
"We have a lot of situations open
all over the Valley for women with
cars," Bruinooge said. "Situations
with developmental disabilities are
more often open to men."
Applicants are placed in homes in
all surrounding towns, including
Northampton, LeveritI, Hadley and
Southampton.
Renters providing services usually
work I 5 hours a week in exchange
for room and kitchen privileges.
However, Bruinooge explained that

Do you think UMass provides sufficient

"No, not at all, because I'm hav-

Accused EMT murderer fears for his own life
NEW BEDFORD. Mass. (AP) - The man
accused of killing an Attlcboro emergency medical
technician with a crossbow testified Tuesday he
feared he was going to be "maimed or killed' when
the victim and another man approached him.
Donald S. Graham. 5b. of Woonsocket. R.I.. is
charged with shooting 42 year-old Michael
Blodgeit on Feb. 20. 1994. as Blodgeit and his pas
senger walked toward him in the breakdown lane
of Interstate 95 after a driving dispute.
"Thc-y made two attempts — serious attempts —
to injure me by having a car wreck on the highway.
I didn't need a crystal ball to know these men were
coming down to hurt me." Graham said.
Prosecutors say Graham was a self-appointed
highway vigilante who decided to tail and harass
Blodgeit at high speeds after Blodgett flashcxJ his
high beams at a third car. They say Graham was
the aggressor in the chase, artd could have backed
off any time.
Graham admitted to making errors in judgment
after deciding he wanted to "give | Blodgett) a taste
of his own medicine.'
"I made a few mistakes in judgment here. I fell
compassion for a driver who was being harassed.'
he said. *| Blodgett j leaned out the window and
gave me a one-finger salute. I should have taken
that as a warning. I had a chance to break it off
and I didn't.'
He said Blodgett twice slammed on his brakes,
causing Graham lo come within inchc-s of rear-eixl-
ing him. He also said Blodgett and his passenger
threw a bag and a drink out their car windows,
although neither object hit his car.
"I'd been hyperventilating between the two panic
stops," Graham said. "I'll call it a close encounter
with death."
By the lime Blodgett pulled over in the break-
down lane and Graham pulled over some distance
behind him, Graham said he was afraid to pass
Blodgett for fear he had a weapon or might try to
run him off the road.
"I was going lo wait while they cooled off. I
knew they were furious." he said. But Blodgett. car-
rying a Hashlight, and his pas.scngcr Robert Astin
immediately began walking back toward Graham's
car, so he got the crossbow out of the trunk and
loaded it, he said.
"I spoke first. I called. Hold it. Hold it. Slop
right there." Graham said '[Blodgett) erupted He
startc-d screaming obscenitieii at me and swears. I
was backpedaling."
Blodgett and Astin continued lo advance, and
Astin circled around behind him, Graham said.
"At this point. Mr. Blodgett was about an arm's
length away from me, shining a light in my eyes. I
alerted him. As I did. the crossbow discharged.*
Graham said.
He and his wife, Sandra, did not think Blodgett
was badly injured, they both testified, because
Blodgett walked back lo his own car. The Grahams
drove home and Sandra lcslinc*d she went upstairs
lo brush her teeth, thinking they would then drive
to the police station. But police arrived first.
"The situation turned out very badly. I was dis-
gusted with myself. I never intendcxi lo hurt any-
body," Graham said.
Six hours after the shooting. Blodgett died of
caixliac arrest triggered by massive loss of blood.
Blodgett's oWer brother, Edwin Blodgett jr.. said
outside the courtroom in New Bedford Superior
Court on Tuesday that his brother never would
have physically attacked Graham.
"This is what my brother stood for," he said,
holding up numerous citations Blodgett received
for his lifesaving work as an EMT. "Mike wasn't
violent. He wouldn't hurt anyone. His whole being
was to help people."
He accusal Graham of lying to avoid prison.
"I think the guy's fighting for his life. It's all fab-
ricated after the fact. There are so many inconsis-
tencies," he said.
Closing arguments were planned for Wednesday
morning.

The program also offers a medi-

pute or conflict.
"Disputes are rare, but the ser-

Living with two Satans
Most of the time, things really do sound better
on paper Lsually Tm on the receiving end of
this disappointing realization. It felt prett>
good to use this rule of thumb to my advantage for
once. I managed to unload the two biggest headaches
I've had. The funny thing was people wanted them. bad.
It's funny that my torture could bring someone else so
much joy.
For rwo ytfars, three semesters. I li\ed with what I con-
sidered lo be Satan's pet>. They were constantly loud,
dirty, hungry and did I mention loud** They cleverly dis-
guised themselves as two exotic look-
ing birds when I met them. Two ~"^~"^~~~"~~"
birds, how much hassle could that
be?
I begged my roiimmate loanne lo
bring these beautiful birds with us
when we moved off campus. She
assured me they were annoying, but I
wasn't having it They didn t make a
sound the whole two hour drive to
school. How could these quiet, grace-
ful creatures do anything but fill my
days with song. I imagined?
The honeymoon was shortlived.
Somehow I forgot bird-, wake up well
before your average human. I was
awakened every morning at dusk by
the shrill chirps of mv two lovable
pets. 1 also forgot I can bart^ly take care of myself, much
less two figure* that his'i at me when 1 approach them. I
thought they'd be low maintenance.
I tried hard to make them like me. ! wanted to prove
that just because I had gone through seven pets in four
years of college. I was prepared to be a caretaker They
would not respond to my gestures of kindness I tht.>ught
they would like to fly freelv in the confines of my apan-
ment. 1 thought thev could fly. they're birds dam it I UM^1
to open their door, and watch them flounder and eventu-
ally drop like rocks to the flstor. but at thai pvtint they
would hiss at me again
My rtmmmate noticed my effort but suggested I clean
their cage if I wanted to make nice with them. It all
/ tried hard to make
them like me. I wanted
to prove that just
because I had gone
through seven pets in
four years of college, I
was prepared to be a
caretaker
Tara Ruelle
sounded so easy, put some old Collegians to good use at
the bottom of their cage, give them sttme fixxi and new
water. I didn't quite understand whv they treated their
water dish as a toilet Ixiwl I tried to clean and fill their
water dish, but found out that bird turds, when
immersed in water for several days, could induce me to
vomit.
Food was also a huge factor. 1 hardly ever eat at home.
so who would have thought someone else would want to
snack in my living room. I did realize before too long that
when they screeched incessantly for more than ten min-
utes, they wanted me to feed them.
This was perfectly fine until that
seemingly never ending supply of
seeds ran out. I was so desperate one
afternoon that I figured I'd put the
two beasts to good use. 1 let them
roam on the floor, and thev proceed-
ed to eat all of the remnants of edible
matter off of my rug. My roommate
came home, looked on the fltwr. and
said "Tara. why are the birds walking
on the ficKtr?"
"I don't know loanne. but they're
quiet." I replied sternly.
At that point. I decided it was time
they go. I actively pursued asking ran-
dom friends if they wanted these
incredibly exciting birds.
Unfortunately, my friends aren't as dumb as they look.
The next approach I tix)k was to ask my roommate if she
wouldn't mind terribly if I just released them out the win-
dow. She didn't respond as well as I'd hoped.
Alas. I decided to use one of my few privileges as a staff
member of the Colhgiun — free Classifieds. 1 thought
about the wording of the ad. carefully. How could make
ihe'-e feathered judices sound appealing to the unsuspect-
ing reader'' Well, apparently 1 have ustfd the art of decep-
tion well Three men came to pick these beasts up the first
dav the ad appeared I handed over my flying devils to the
men and laughed heartily as they walked out the door.
The birds didn't make a sound.

A government smoke screen
One of the things I picked up in my travels of
Kurope this summer was cigarettes. Prior to
my trip. I couldn't even inhale a cigarette with-
out coughing, but now nothing* more enjoy-
able than a long pull off a Camel after a big vlug of keg
beer.
My transition to a smoker was
very natural and I feel good about it.
I still remember my first ciga-
rette It wa* in some smoky
Parisian cafe near the Bastille I
was debating Dostoyevsky with
some quasi-intellectual, bespecta-
cled German. He was a chain
smoker and offered me one of his
Italian cigarettes each time he fired
up a new one of his own. Finally. 1
said "What the helP" and thing*
have never been the same.
The mo*t interesting aspect of
the situation has been my friends'
reactions to mv new fondness for
tobacco. The reactions have
ranged from hysterical laughter and curiosity to puzzle-
ment and scorn.
Their reactions amuse me. but remind me how
uptight we are in America.
In America, every tight-assed. fiber-eating health
nut wants to criminalize tobacco and convert us to
their cult in which thev all live to be l(X). eat rice cakes
and excrete pebbles with smiles of excitement long
absent from their gaunt, sagging cheeks.
No thanks. Mississippi Fred McDowell once said. "If
the river was whiskey. Id dive right in." That's basical-
ly the way I want to live my life.
Don't point your finger or shake your head at me.
The latest anti-tobac-
co legislation is deja vu
of 50 years ago when
the government crimi-
nalized marijuana, cit-
ing studies and surx'eys
that are now beyond
laughable.
Jeremy Hurewitz
Who do you get your facts from? The government? Do
vou really trust the government and all its surveys?
The latest anti-tobacco legislation is deja vu of 50
years ago when the government criminalized marijua-
na, citing studio* and *urveys that are now beyond
_^__^^^^___ laughable. In reality, they were
ju*t fabrication* created by the
timber industry, which felt threat-
ened by hemp's wide-ranging pos-
*ibilities. So once again, the gov-
ernment played whore to big busi-
nesses and big money, and another
of our personal liberties went
down the drain.
I'm not saying tobacco is not bad
for you. That would be stupid I'm
saying two things: think for your-
selves and don't tell me what to do
Smokers are getting screwed in
this country because our politi-
cians are trying to be all things to
all people. With one hand they
slap the wrist of the diriy smoker
and with the other they reach deeper into the pcKkets
of the tobacco industry. And we stand for it.
If wc told some cantankerous Frenchman that his
government was putting forth some of the legislation
that our government is getting away with, he would
organize a revolution that would make their bloodshed
in the 1 8th century *eem like a walk in the park.
So smokers, smoke your cigarette with style and
have a beer. Uncle Sam is kntxking down the hall but
he hasn't gotten to you yet. If he'* looking for me I'll
be drinking whiskey, smoking cigarettes and stroking
my *hotgun waiting for him.

Questioning
government aid
To the Editor:
We would just like to ask some
questions.
First, to all the students (and
non-students) who arc rallying
against the proposed student aid
cuts: Do you believe that the govern-
ment owes you a college education?
If so. why?
From the time we were five, the
government has supplied u* all with
an opportunity to obtain a high
school diploma, which most of us
took for granted. This country is tril-
lions of dollars in debt and going
deeper every day. Where will it all
end? When will we even stan to pay
off our debt?
How many of us are aware that a
huge percentage of all revenues col-
lected by the federal government
every year goes to make interest pay-
ments on our national debt- not prin-
cipal, interest!
Next, why do so many of us still
believe that at the age of adulthood
the government should continue to
Letters to the Editor
hold our hand, support us through
yet another portion of our lives?
People founded this great nation in
order to be free from a government
which was over-controlling. Thev
fought and died to obtain freedom.
Now. we stand more than 200
years later, moving toward *omething
that our ancestors fought bitterly
against: government control. The
writers of this letter are not rich:
both of us are paying for our educa-
tion, and one of us chose to join the
military as a way to earn a college
education. Yes. we said earn. We do
not believe anyone owes us anything
we did not work to earn.
This concept seems foreign to
many on this campus. It makes u*
shake our heads in disgust when we
hear students complain about how
tough it is to make it to class on time
or even that they have two tests in
only one week. What do they expect?
The reason a college education is so
valuable a tool in obtaining a job is
employers expect that a student has
worked hard to graduate.
Sadly, it seems to us that instead of
"worked hard." a better description ,
of many a UMass graduate's experi-
ences might be "coast".

Paper not reporting
important news
To the Editor:
It was a disappointment to see in
Saturday's Boston Globe a front
page article on the University. At
issue was the creation of a new code
of conduct David Scott, the chancel-
lor, wishes to impose on the individ-
uals of this campus. While the code
itself was frightening, what was far
worse was that the Collegian had
mentioned nothing of it in the days
preceding.
It seems to me that something this
proximal, so close to home, should
have been covered days before the
Globe journalists had reported on it.
Please, for many people on this cam-
pus, you are the only journalists easi-
ly and affordably accessible. We need
this son of thing covered.

magazines. Plus, you're running out
of space in your room — dear, the
cat was lost in therefor three days "
Damn.
Hello, my name is
Tara and I am addict-
ed to magazines. Any
magazine — all maga-
zines. It's sick, it's sor-
did. I'm a candidate for lerry
Springer's freak show of losers. But
like those naughty grown-ups. 1 just
can't resist the taste of 8x10 glossy
paper.
It's the sheen of the cover, the
striking colors, the catchy headlines
like "Flawless Skin." "Interview with
the Next Bond" and "See how you
can catch rainbow trout in Maine"
that suck me in Let me tell you that
if I have $5 I will buy two magazines.
1 will not eat lunch. 1 will not pass
Go. I will just buy a magazine — any
magazine.
I've gotten Inteniew. I'S.
Entertainment Weekly. Elle. Allure.
Elle Decor. Spin. Rolling Stone.
Cooking Light. Home. Outside.

Cosmopolitan. People Weekly. Gun

etc. all at the same time.
The postal workers love me. 1 am
the main reason why the United Sates
Postal system exists. I am Publisher's
Clearing Houses' numero uno cus-
tomer. Telemarketers pin my name
next to their computer.
Representatives fight for me come
bonus time. In the dorms. 1 would
have so many magazines that they'd
reserve special areas for me to pick
them up That list doesn't even
include catalogues. I
have never, ever not
gotten mail
But that brings me
up to the $600 ques-
tion, what the hell is
my problem? I guess it all narrows
down to the fact 1 love to read any-
thing and everything, and I just don't
have the time for it anymore. In order
to sate that hunger for words. I buy a
magazine.
When I'm depressed I buy a maga-
zine.
When I'm upset 1 buy a magazine.
When I'm happy I buy a magazine
There is just no limit as how much
a magazine can help me get over
whatever emotional problem I think I
have. They make me feel good. It's
like opening a gift every time I buy a
new one. A whole unexplored pack-
age of goodies, all for me and in full
color.
1 have a system of reading them.
First. I have to be the first one to
touch it (bear with me here). I can't
read a copy that ha* been thumbed
through. I can't read a copy a friend
has thumbed through. I have to open
it first Got it?
Secondly. I don't touch the per-
fume flaps. Big no no. The smells
make me nauseous, and I get dizzy
and have lo lie down, no joke. I once
had a guy flip through my .Allure and
he opened every damn perfume ad. I
had to have him scotch tape them
shut before 1 ttxik it back. I think he's
reported me to mental health services.
Thirdly. I read them by skimming
the whole thing first. No opening up
in the middle, no reading an article
and flipping to its continuation
Then. I go and read the whole thing
thoroughly. Everything And if 1
begin an article that continues. I look
up the page it goes on to and open
right up to it I don't dally. I don't
scan on my way I fly express.
Fourth, and for tho*e who still
have managed to read this far. I have
lo read in direct light. 1 can't read in
the shade. 1 can't read in dim light,
and I can't read if there is a glare on
the page. I've tried. It dcwsn't work, I
get a headache and have to lie down.
Now normally I am a very easy
going person who can accept change
and realize sometimes you've got to
break the rules. 1 am open to new
ideas and I love a challenge ... just
don't touch my magazines. Oh. and
the $600 bill? Turns out they had me
down lor several subscriptions for
the next 10 years I cancelled

PC campus hinders free expression
Evan
Young
Has anyone out there in campus-land noticed that if
someone has an opinion, an idea, a thought or
anything else that proves they have a capacity for
free thought, they are immediately disagreed with and
deemed offensive to society in some way or another?
Cut down all the trees. Slay every last furry woodland
owl. and dump as much raw sewage and heav^ metals as
possible right into the Indian Ocean.
Whoops! 1 just pissed off the environmentalists.
Don't keep gays out of the military, put them on the
front lines. Put the convicted criminals right next to them.
Don't we want these people out of society?
Uh-oh. There I go again, offending the
homosexuals and the freedom fighters.
Women must always look beautiful for
men. they must do all the cooking and
cleaning for them, and have it all done by
the time the men come home from work. They must also
raise the kids, and wear bikinis all day.
Blacks belong in the ghettos, drinking 40's and doing
drugs. White men rule all.
Screw the Indians. Lets not feel sorry for completely
wiping them out because we had the guns. America
belongs to us now. Here you go Sitting Bull, here's a bot-
tle of |im Beam to drown out your sorrows.
There go the women, the African-Americans and the
Native-Americans.
How can I say these godawful things, you may be ask-
ing yourself.
It's very easy. I enjoy watching other people squirm
uncomfortably when the idiotic PC ideas that abound here
at UMass are trampled upon. If you say something nega-
tive or write something that questions the liberal ideals of
our campus and put it in this newspaper, the reactions
can be quite entertaining. It's amazing how so many peo-
ple can immediately misunderstand a point of view other
than their own.
Do 1 really believe in any of the stuff 1 just said? Of
course I don't. Hate is not an opinion, and 1 hope no one
el.se believes any of that stuff either,
1 do believe in other things. First. I believe that you
probably wouldn't .still be reading this if I hadn't caught
your attention by saying ridiculous things. Writing on
these pages, one quickly learns that no one really cares
what you write unless it has the ability to piss someone
off.
Second. I believe I have certain ideals, beliefs and opin-
ions I hold to be true Everyone else has different ideals,
beliefs and opinions that are different from mine that they
hold to be true. The problem around here is if you voice
any of them, people instantly get nasty.
As an example, in one of my discussions last week
someone said something they thought had
value. Instead of providing a decent argu
ment in response, some girl in the comer
got a bitchy attitude. This act effectively
shut everyone up. Kudos to her! She single-
handedly annoyed everyone, and ruined a
perfectly good argument. Who wants to talk when no one
really listens? Boy, it sure is valuable to know that when-
ever you say something, nobody will listen, but someone
will get pissed.
As a solution to this problem. I have decided to say
nothing from now on. Nothing at all. 1 will just shut up.
not voice my opinions, not assert my beliefs and rid my
mind of all free thought. If someone tries to argue with
my nothing. I will simply yell at them: that .seems to be
the way around here. It is better to say nothing than to
not be liberal, right?
So here goes nothing.
Nothing is pretty interesting, isn't it'' Boy. this nothing-
ness .sure does stimulate the mind!
Of course, someone is probably out there saying. "What
an idiot. He thinks he's being funny. He's woefully misin-
formed about his own opinions."
But, I guess that's the best argument nothing can buy.

The Scar
By Carlos Castillo
Mary inspects racks, smiling
Always shoot in the neck never in the sleeve!
She perfonns
Thousands of caesareans a year
Raising coats
From cardboard wombs
That chatter across
Steel roller* in a G. I\ix warehouse
Teaching amateur worksmen
To fire pistols
Between a GED and PHD
With plastic wire
To wool
For seventeen quarters an hour.
Ahways shoot in the neck never in the sleeve!
One Christmas
When the sale
Painted her sons coat red.
Snubbed steel marksmen
Emptied a screaming chamber
And Michael
From his mother
A second time.
After work
While bathing
She traces
A pink skin street
Down her brown belly
Back to the rows
Of unidentified men
With ticketed toes.
Mary inspects racks
Hoping to find all the right prices.
Relieved when she does
She smiles
That scar of a smile
That's been sowed by blades and bullets and says
GcKxl people, no one i.s going to gel fired today!
Latino Loneliness
By Daniel Rwera
Sitting. Listening, not participating
In the lamhora and gueira sounds of my peers stories.
Knowing that I have never, and may never travel
The same gate*, ports of entry and departure.
Of piers of immigration.
There is an eerie silence that covers
My own stories of childlvHid rebellion
In a poverty-stricken, urban renewed likeness of
Santo Domingo, or Rio Piedras.
called Lawrence, or Springfield.
Even though you understand that
You have a different story to tell.
One of acculturation and not assimilation.
A different Caribbean understanding!
The likeness is remarkable — same brown skin.
Same depressed discourse.
Same Mother and Father mannerisms.
Same hendiciones at bed time.
But different dialect-filled dreams.
A childhood remcnnbered with
Latin American nuance* and not Caucasian cartoons,
Or cereal box prcmios
\ jiivcnuid of strict national understanding
Backed by historical context
And not confused Public Enemy, minority, separatism
Fed by historical misrepresentation and exclusion
So the conversation continues with words
1 may not understand and laughter that incites
The sorrow of not knowing.
Knowing that visits can never mirror
Their real-time experiences of Latin distinction.
It all makes me want to run and take a Spanish class.
Learn of Latin American heroes and heroines
And give Vende Patria penance.
So 1 continue to enjoy the discussion
Of where we are going, and where
We have been unsure as to which we. I. may belong to.
For Latino loneliness manifests itself most often
When you are surrounded by other Latinos.
^ulticulturaiism
By Chinedu Dean Ogbuike
Multiculturalism means many culture*
Coming together as one to form beautiful pictures
Of diversity, love. hope, and unity
Which can be seen inside and outside their community,
Multiculturalism is a gathering of all races
In which people come from all different place*
In the country and world to form a bond of peace
That will continue grow stronger and never cease.
Multiculturalism focuses on cultures sharing
Their beliefs, knowledge, and values while preparing
Themselves against those trying to separate
Them from their people because they hate
Seeing many "minority" cultures coming together as one
Because they know that no harm can be done
To people who are united but divided we may fall
But as many cultures working together we stand tall.
Multiculturalism from the dictionary means reflecting
Or relating to diverse cultures but I am saying
That it means unity and love between many races
Who don't judge other people by the color of their
faces.
El Atardecer de Bogota
por Cristina Basto
Im^genes difusas que sc unen
Y fluctuan en la tarde dorada
Melodta humana que adoma la ciudad
Con impulsos que dan forma a la montana.
Escenario de contrasfes y deseos iKultos,
D6nde el sol se desborda y esparce sus rayos escendidos.
Mientras el cielo se tifie de rojo
Y el dIa agoniza lentamente,
Los espectadores caminan indiferentes.
Ya es tarde, quiza scan las seis cuando los Arboles
Conceden la ijltima pie7.a al viento.
Un silencio eslrcpitoso invade las calles
Por que otro dia ha muerto.
Del suceso hay nueve millones de testigos
Y Ires complices: dos almas que se abrazan y la luna.
;,Que bora es?
Creo que ya me he olvidado
tHoy o ayer?
Tal vez manana — no lo se
Ahora solo pienso en mi
Y trato de descifrar esta ardiente
ansiedad que
Llena cada parte de mi ser
Tal como el sol penetra a la fertil tier-
ra
Y solo encuentro ma* preguntas e
incertidumbres.
Me pn-gunto que hora es
Y me doy cuenta que el ticmpo
Sigue su camino sin importarle
Que yo me quedo atras.
Hay. este tiempo cruel que
No me deja en paz.

por Mercedes Betanco
Otra vez veo los ojos de
E.se nino ambriento al
Que le falta el pan
Que a mi me sobra hoy.
Una vez mas quiero gritar
Y correr
Y estrihir
Y rogarle a esos ojos
One me perdonen por la indiferencia.
Quiero sabcrlo todo —
pero me aterra la verdad.
iQue hora es?
cSera que ya vivi?
Que esto es todo.
Que lo que se dice mi realidad es la
Vetdad
Sera que mi destino es
Caminar en esta tarde bsinita con las
mariposas
Y con las flores silvestrvs.
<.Sin pensiir en el fusil u en d engaiio?
Sin pensar en el dolor
de mi padre al saberse extranjero.
^Sera que este deber que agovia mis
dias es solo
1^ idea romantica de lihro* de hislo-
ria vivida?
i,\ que hora es? jMe tengo que ir!
Ya el sol vino y la lurta se fue,
Pero hoy el rtxio de la maiiana
Me beso los ojos y me dio esperanzas
Hoy sc que la inocencia paso de mi
Hoy se que la verdad no es una

Con tus manos y con el canto de mi

The Others
By Joyce White-Deer Vincent
When the others came, they said they came to save us.
To teach us the truth.
We were patient, we listened.
We remembered all that was said
We still remember, as we watched confused, it was
they
Who forgot, not us.
When they look our homelands, our children, our
future
And locked them behind a fence, hidden from the
world.
We remembered 'Thou Shah Not Stear
When they seduced our sisters, before their wives
arrived
We came lo remember 'Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy
Neighbor's Wife"
(Their offspring lying in limbo still)
When they separated church from stale
And rose it above creation, we remembered 'Thou
Shalt
Not Have Any Other God Before Me'
When they unleashed the atomic bomb
Upon the face of Mother Earth we remembered 'Thou
Shall Not Tempt The Lord. Thy God'
When they built and built and built
Day after day without end, we remembered 'Thttu
Shah
Remember The Sabbath Day And Keep It Holy'
When it was *aid that the only gotx) Indian,
(A name meaning God- like)
Was a dead Indian, we remembered "Thou Shalt Love
Thy Neighbor "
Well, howdy neighbor ,.,
I'm taking back what is rightfully mine:
My life, my reality
I'm returning to my Creator, praying that I will forget
The lies, the pain, and the smell of death in my brain
I do not feel t(K< friendly right now.
As I heal sisters' wounds.
Patch up my brother» who were stabbed in the back
Come 'round tomorrow, maybe tomorrow
We can talk "membcring"
Maybe tomorrow when you've learned to remember
And I've learned to forget ...
My First Love
By Moisc Tirado
I could cry but .., no
I want to yell out your name
But from my thrttat comes the silence of the dead.
Whose life you have bore witness to
The distress of the children whose cries have shadowed
Your soul and whose voices have sang sweet tunes.
Straight into your heart
Oh! The sounds that c»>me out
Send shivers down my spine
Too scared to hear my own voice.
Too frightened to let the stars burst out of me
Too disturbed by the ninibling sounds of long-suppressed
Feelings coming from deep inside my soul
I listened to your street music, yes. your street music
I listened to the birds serenading you with heavenly
sounds
Rising up into your sky. while you sat.
Your breast* stretching out to the north wind
Your legs open wide lo the windward passage
I listen to the rhythms that come from your rivers.
The water flowing from the letter* of your name:
haiti. Haiti, HAiri. H A I T I. II A 1 T I
Never ending, I want to sing to you, dance for you
I want lo yell out your name, but your smile freezes the
Sounds from my mind
Your smile bright and hot as the Caribbean sun.
Bums me inside out. my heart pounds like African drum*.
Giving the signal to attack, my hands go up ready to break
The chain* around your sweet, tender neck
Ready to bear witness to your uncommon beauty and yitur
Strength, my eyes fix upon you like wild fire:
I consume you — slowly, then quickly
I inhale you. drink you dry
From my nose, my ear*, my lips.
The letter* of your name tumble, dance and spread out
Before me - haiti. Haiti. HAITI. H A I T I. H A 1 T I
To the ancient African rhythms, they sway intertwining

It's Sunday aftemiHin.
With a nice view extended to the horizon
Oh! The *un i* about to disappear
Through the liiffel Fower. 1 am kxiking
— No. I am contemplating, the beauty of nature
Progressively, the sun turns orange.
As does the color of the cloud around it
Slowly, it is disappearing ...
The smooth clarity of the light emitted by the moon
The stars give the park a divine aspect
The decor offetvd by the shadows of the statues
The trees and the flowers
Seem to shelter the life of il* *pectators.
To the point that an atmosphere of peace
And serenity exist among the people lying of the grass
The air is pleasant to breathe, it is fresh
Ireshnes* coming from the falling water.
Where many are oKiling down their bixlies
And l(x)king up at the sky:
A sign of blessing and happiness
With the calm wind comes a sweet melody,
F^ncircled by tourists, the drummers
Are exposing their talents
Far from their countries, ignoring
Their problem* and difference*
For a moment, parents and kid*, alongside strangers.
All dance to the rhythm of the drums
The drummers pass iheir hats around
One group of tourists leaves, yet another arrives.
With *ad regrets I have lo leave loo.
But the animation continues ...

Cult alien show returns to television Negron defines new character role on hit sitcom

The TV scries aired briefiy in the
late 1960$, introducing us to archi-

and his obsessive, lonely quest to
expose a plot by humanoid-appearing
aliens to conquer Earth.
Their occasional odd glow or
trick digit were among the few give-
aways. In Europe, the series became
a cult favorite with its treatment of
that abiding science fiction theme.
aliens among us. It's been rerun on
French. English and German TV
and was even fettd in a Paris cele-

But in its homeland, the series from
producer Quinn .Martin (of "The
Fugitive" and "The F.B.I." fame) van-
ished after a 1967-68 run on ABC.
"As the drama slipped into the
netherworld of fuzzy TV memories

NEW YORK - The curious thing
about Taylor Negron, the newest cast
member of NBC's "Hope & Gloria,"
is not that so few people know his
name, but that everybody seems to
know his work.
You've seen him in any number of
TV shows and movies, playing event-
thing from the blond, psychopathic
gunman Milo in The Last Boy Scout
to the pizza guy in Fast Times at
Ridgemont High.
"I definitely paid my dues,* says
Negron, an actor-playwright -comedi-
an who now plays Hope's boss.
Gwillem Blati. a tall, wiry dark-
haired fellow in Armanis with big
brown ey<;s, prominent brows and
cheekbones of a Latin cast.
"I think I've always been lucky to
work all the time," Negron says. "I've
done one or two movies a year for 1 2
years." And TV?
"Everything. You just block it out
because there wctc so many of them.'
A regular on the short-lived
"Frannie's Turn" and a guest on
"Dave's World." "Seinfeld." "Civil
Wars" and "Anything Bui Love," he's
also known as the "spokesman and
priest-king" of cable's E!
Entertainment.
On "Hope & Gloria," which airs at
8:30 p.m. EST Sunday nights, he
plays a comic foil to Hope's sweet,
good-hearted optimist.
"When they added Gwillem 's char-
acter, they added real tension,
because he's a boss in the great tradi-
tion of Theodore |. Mooney from
'Here's Lucy.'" Negron said.
"Our show reminds me of 'The
Mary Tyler Moore Show.' You have
Hope, played by Cynthia Stevenson
so well. She's this really happy prep-
pie giri and I get to be this New Age
Mr. Grant. He's a big fish in a small
pond, a boy wonder who now has to
be a man wonder.
"There he is. this guy who'd like to
be a programming executive at MTV
and he's doing a morning show with
Alan Thicke in Pittsburgh — and he
isn't going to let anybody forget it."
Negron calls Gwillem a perfect
cluracter for the '90s.
"Men are redefining their roles,
because a lot of roles were demolished
by the women's nxjvcmenl." he said.
"Men just don't KNOW any more. ...
"The relationship between men
and women is totally different.
There's a whole new arena. Who has
the power? It changes every para-
graph."
Negron is above all, an Angeleno,
sharing an Angelcno's conviction
about his hometown. "It's the center
of the world right now." he said.
"Most of the television imagery that
goes around the world comes out of
Los Angeles.
"I make fun of it, affectionately,
because these are my people. I come
from there," he said, lapsing into his
slandup routine: "I remember when
the palm trees were short and
Tomorrowland was modem."
Negron's most recent non-TV pro-
ject was "Gangster Planet." a four-
character domestic comedy set during
the Los Angeles riots.
"The play was a direct response to
the rage of the Los Angeles riots,
which were really frightening and
scary," he said. "I just happened to be
stuck in the house with my parents,
and we got into this terrible fight."
Although the evening inspired the
play and Negron played the lead,
'Gangster Planet" wasn't about him
or his family.
'Standup comedy keeps you in a
kind of constant analysis," he said. 'I
don't have a shrink, but I feel like I'm
in therapy all the time with my writ-
ing. I have to write through these
feelings of my rage, my complete
anger, or my happiness. And then,
somehow, the joke bubbles up."
Faced with the prospect of a steady
job in a long-running TV comedy,
Negron is sanguine about the future.
"Life is work. I don't think any-
body is ever excused from it." he
said. "Everybody in America has
this self-entitlement thing, as in 'I
don't want to work.' Everybody
says. 'I warn to be in a television
series.'
"Try doing 25 movies, being an
extra in 10 movies and being on the
road for 10 years." he said. "Then get
back to me."

Bono and Gingrich cooperating ^foptbaii
KJ i ^5 continued from page 12
By JiH Lawrence
Associated Press
WASHINGTON - While
Republican moralists and candidates
denounce smutty entertainment and
its greedy promoters. House Speaker
Newt Gingrich and freshman Rep.
Sonny Bono are quietly cultivating
Hollywood types by promising to
help their bottom line.
'The Republican Party and the
industry have not had very good com-
munication with each other.' says
Bono. 'Ever."
The pop singertumed-politician
brought that concern to Gingrich
early this year. The speaker respond-
ed by authorizing an entertainment
task force and naming Bono its chair-
man. Then he summoned industry
executives to Capitol Hill.
lack Valenti. president of the
Motion Picture Association of
America, has been around Washington
since the lohnson administration.
"This is the first lime a speaker of the
House has ever asked me to . . . bring
in movie industry people to talk about
how he can help them." he says.
What Gingrich and Bono have rec-
ognized is that trade, technology and
copyright issues transcend ideology.
Even liberal executives who con-
tribute big bucks to Democrats are
trying to maximize corporate profits.
The two Republicans leading this
outreach effort do not quite fit their
party's culturally conservative mold.
Bono is a product of Hollywood.
Cher's long-haired hippie exhusband
and duet partner. Gingrich, like
Bono, has been divorced. Gingrich is
uneasy about a Democrat's plan to
police pom on the Internet. But an
■ Cult Alien Show
early version of a novel he co-write
opened with "a pouting sex kitten ...
sitting athwart" the hero's chest.
One measure of the chasm
between the GOP and the entertain-
ment world is campaign contribu-
tions from the film, recording, TV
and cable industries.
In the 1995-94 election cycle,
according to Common Cause, industry
donors of $20,000 or more contributed
$1 .8 million to Democratic committees
for ptarty-buikling activities; GOP com-
mittees got $181,000. The breakdown
in the first six months of 1995 for con-
tributions above $10,000 was
$720,000 to the Democrats and
$140,000 to the Republicans.
Political developments this year
have not exactly complemented the
Gingrich- Bono bridge-building project.
Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole,
the leading COP presidential candi-
date, lambasted the entertainment
industry last spring for "mainstreaming
deviancy" in a cold quest for profits.
At least four other presidential candi-
dates joined the chorus of excoriation.
Meanwhile, former education sec-
retary William Bennett was having a
well publicized showdown with Time
Warner over gangsta rap. More
recently he has taken on trash TV.
Bennett had Democratic partners
in both ventures, and President
Clinton years ago criticized violence
and other aspects of popular culture
Still. Hollywood generally has found
Democrats more compatible with its
needs and world-view.
Bono had to overcome fears of
confrontation when he scheduled a
Sept. 9 meeting for industry heavy
hilterTi at Beveriy Hills town hall. He
managed to attract about two dozen
of the entertainment elite. He
brought with him six House members
including Majority Whip Tom DeLay
of Texas and Andrea Seastrand, a
California freshman elected with the
support of the religious right.
"The trepidations they had were
how are we going to relate to the
Republican Party," Bono said. "The
point was to tell them we were going
to work with them and not just criti-
cize them ... Our optimum goal is
they should help write their own leg-
islation."
Hilary Rosen, president of the
Recording Industry Association of
America, said she went because
Congress plays an important role in
"the business of the business." If
members show interest, she said, "it's
certainly in our interest to be willing
to talk to them about it."
Rosen said some people 'chal-
lenged the task force on the overall
agenda of the Republican leader-
ship." The political brouhaha over
content and industry responsibility
was also discussed briefiy.
The GOP House members "made
it clear that they were not interested
in government regulating content and
I made it clear that I thought that
was the right position." Rosen said.
In a recent interview. Bono said he
wishes prominent Republicans would
call a cease-fire in the culture war.
"They're their own people. It they
say things and take positions, I hope
they stop, but if they do. they'll have to
represent themselves as individuals,"
Bono said. "As a party we don't want
to condemn (entertainment executives)
and say you better straighten out your
act. We'd rather have them participate
in solutkins."
Bengals, two loo many to give them a
shot on anything but a high draft
choice. All this leads to is a expansion
team that is two games out of first
place and hasn't won in three of the
last four weeks.
Speaking of expansion teams that
are only two games out of first place,
how about the Carolina Panthers?
With their fourth straight win, over
San Francisco no less, the first year
franchise is turning a few heads.
Given the fact that they could feasi-
bly beat the Rams. Cardinals. (Did I
just say that after my prediction earli-
er this year'.') Saints, Niners (They
did it once, why can't they do it
again?) and the Redskins, they could
have a 9-7 record which is some-
times good enough tor a wild-card.
■ college hockey
Atlanta hoWs a one game lead over
St. Louis and San Fran, as has been
the most consistent team in the divi-
sion all year. Jeff C«or§t has the inten-
sity the Falcons need to get them a
berth in the playoffs and if |unc |oncs
is smart he will do what it takes to
resign him before the off-season. The
only chance the Rams have of nuking
the playoffs is if Vince Ferrigamo
comes out of retirement.
George Seifcrt has got to be shaking
his head over the fact that there is a
possibility his team might have to start
Cary Conklin against Dallas. Until
someone is capable at QB to ^t |eny
Rice and |ohn Taylor the ball, the
Niners are nol nearly the same team.
Between the NKC Central and the
AFC East only one team can truly be
counted out of playoff contention.
That being the 2-8 |els. I realize I
have included both the New England
Patriots and Detroit Lions who stand
at V-b entering this weekend.
The Patriots at some point, maybe
too late but nonetheless, will find
their offensive game and run through
everyone in their path. Drew
Bledsoe hasn't come close to his per-
formance of last year and the defense
just keeps getting belter. Lions
owner Wlliiam Clay Ford says he
would probably fire coach Wayne
Fonles at season's end if the Lions
fail to reach the playoffs. When
Pontes job is on the line, the Lions
have a much louder roar.

Increasing pollution assures them
more of the carbon monoxide- laden
air that they breathe.
They've also gotten better at dis-
guising some of the physical licks
that could unma.sk them.
Although Thinnes doesn't headline
the miniseries. he's glad to see the
premise gain new life; the TV series,
he says, came to an unfair and
untimely end.
"We were planning to go on for
another season." he recalls. They
were writing new episodes when,
suddenly, the show was canceled.
Quinn had a falling out with ABC
and they canceled a lot of things. All
political.
"So the show just came to a crash-
ing halt."
"At the time. I thought it should
have gone on." he says.
"It had respectable ratings. It wasn't
a runaway hit. but it was catching on.
It had a strong, very responsive audi-
ence. ... Science fiction audiences arc
faithful, as you know by 'Star Trek'
and 'Dark Shadows."
Thinnes still is recognized for his
"Invaders" role by American fans.
But he saw real devotion abroad.
"Three years ago. there was a 25th
anniversary celebration in Paris." he
said, with special theater screenings
and the release of "Invaders"
episodes on videocassette.
"The audience, a jampacked audi-
ence in one of those old movie
palaces, knew all the dialogue like
with The Rocky Horror Picture
Show,' Thinnes said in an^vident
tone of delight.
"He noted that the series attracted
first-rate guest start>. including Gene
Hackman. Sally Kellerman and
British actor Michael Rennie. star of
the sci-fi film classic The Day the
Earth Stood Still {\9'i^).
Thinnes went on to other projects,
including "Falcon Crest" and the
soap opera "One Life to Live." after
"Invaders" was pulled.
He tried to revive the sci-fi drama,
coming close to a TV movie with
ABC that fell apart after the nciwork
was purchased by Capital Cities Inc.
But the timing now is clearly right.
Fox realizes sci-fi "is a gold mine"
that can attract more than hard-core
fans, Thinnes said.
"There's an aspect of science fic-
tion that plays to the paranoia we
all have about authorities, govern-
ment, politicians. Those who might
not be believers about the science
fiction aspect like the intrigue," he
said.
Fox isn't alone in milking the
genre; there's a surge in the number
of sci-fi movie projects being devel-
oped, Bakula said. "Many people arc
attributing a lot of this to "The X-
Files,' which is interesting because
often the movies lead television but
in this, television is leading the
movies," he said.
"The 'Invaders' miniseries, filmed
in the Los Angeles area and sur-
rounding desert, might just spawn a
franchise of TV movies. Thinnes said.
"I think it has a future." he said.
New electronic magazine to be distributed over world-wide web

opponents of the Lake Superior State Lakers, winners of
three national championships since 1988. the frigid town
is something to skip altogether.
This year has been no exception as Lake State is a per-
fect b-0 thus far. including a big 4-1 win at Michigan
State. The Lakers have scored four or more goals in five
of their six games as the Ship's Horn, fired after lake
State goals, has kept area residents up late on game nights
at Abel Arena.
Senior winger Scan Tailaire has bcx'n making the leg-
endary horn sound more than anyone else this season,
leading Lake Stale with six goals and five assists. The
Winnipeg native was named the CCHA's Offensive Player
of the Week for his six-point effort in this past weekend's
sweep of St. Lawrence, and moved into lOth place on the
school's all-time scoring chart.
The Lakers, who are off to their best start since opening
the 1968-^9 season at 16-0, will face their toughest chal-
lenge of the season as they face upstarts Western
Michigan and Bowling Green this weekend at Abel.
Western Michigan checks into Friday's game at 6-2
coming off of a home-and-home sweep of Notre Dame.
Earlier this year, the Broncos knocked off the mighty
Wolverines in Michigan's Yost Arena and likely will not
twck down from the defending CCHA Champions.
Coach Bill Wilkinson's team features the CCHA's top
three scorers in the surprising |uslin Cardwell (9-6-15),
the prolific |ercmy Brown (5-IO-I5) and defenseman
Sieve Duke (l-12-li), an early All-America candidate.
At this juncture, Cardwell has equalled his output from ))
games last season.
In addition. Marc Magiiarditi has excelled between the
pipes during his freshman season, posting a solid 2.57
GAA with a .917 save percentage. Magliarditi was named
CCHA defensive Player of the Week for stopping 85 of 88
Michigan shots October 20 and 2 1 .
Even stronger in the Lake Superior net though, has
been Sophomore sensation |ohn Grahmc who has posted
a 5-0 record to accompany a microscopic 1 .07 GAA and
astounding .960 save percentage.
Bowling Green has been no slouch in the early-going
either. The Falcons are 6-1. the sole loss coming Saturday
on the road at non-conference foe Clarkson.
An interesting match-up should be the Laker penally
killing, second in the CCHA at .889 percent, going up
against the Broncos' second-ranked power play at 27.6
percent and the Falcons' third-ranked power play at 26.6
percent.
The winner of this tussle will likely emerge victorious.
• Maine's Barry Clukey has left the team indefinitely
after an argument with Black Bear coach Shawn Walsh.
Clukey. a junior from just down 1-95 in Waterville. had
reportedly been upset after being benched for the entire
NCAA Championship run last year and it has been specu-
lated that the anger carried over to this season.
Walsh and Clukey had a healed exchange on the bench
during the third period of Maine's 4-4 tie with New
Hampshire Friday night, and did not play afierwards.
After taking a penalty shot in the post-game shootout,
Clukey left the team, reportedly for good.
Happier news out of Alfond though is the steady play of
freshman defenseman Brell Clark, who received this
week's Hockey East Rookie of the Week honor. Clark tal-
lied three assists in his first league games this weekend
and his improved defensive work enabled the Black Bears
to restrain a high-flying UNH attack and hang onto a pair
of tics.
• The ECAC will look to improve on its image of being
the 'Easily Crushed Athletic Conference" as its season
kicks off this weekend.
Last season, the ECAC's .sole NCAA entrants were a
slumping RPI team and an overated Clarkson team, both
of which were dismissed in the first round. The ECAC has
not had a Final Four representative since 1991, the only
conference not to do so.
The Vermont Catamounts have an excellent shot of
silencing the anti-ECAC taunts both this year and next
Picked first in the conference's pre-season coaches'
poll. UVM has nol disappointed, winning its season open
er 7-4 over UNH and sweeping a series on the road
against Miami of Ohio. The Catamounts, currently ranked
sixth nationally, have only fallen to Boston University this
season. Thai was a narrow 5-4 defeat at the hands of an
emotionally charged- up BU team in its first actkin since
Travis Roy's tragic paralysis
Martin Si. Louis and Eric Perrin pack the best I 2
offensive punch around. The two juniors from Laval.
Quebec are each considered Hobcy Baker candidates after
exceptional seasons last year in which they lied for the
ECAC scoring lead and were selected first-team
All-ECAC.
Junior All-America goaltcnder Tim Thomas comes off a
fantastic season in which he led the ECAC with a 2 68
GAA and was second with a .915 save percentage, just
.003 behind RPI's Mike Tamburro
The knock on Vermont last year was a lack of offensive
depth and defense, which kept them out of the NCAA's.
The offense is deeper with |.C. Ruid stepping forward lo
lead the team thus far with five goals.
[defensively senior Sieve McKcll will lead a solid but
thin corps, with only seven skating defensemen. With
McKcll as the Catamounts' only major loss, expect a solid
national caliber club this year, and a Final Four con-
tender the next.
Harvard looked sharp in trouncing Brown 7-2 Saturday
night at the Bears' Mechan Auditorium, in the first confer-
ence game of the year.
With a pair of goals Saturday night from ECAC Rookie
of the Wc-ek Craig Adams and a goal and two assists from
fellow freshman Craig MacDonald. Harvard has a solid
young core lo build on. In addition, freshman Michael
Bcni. out of Nobles, is expected lo contnbute this year.
Tripp Tracy should be his usual stellar self in the
Cnmson goal and lead the team in its quest for the ECAC
title and an NCAA birth. Harvard won the conference's
last national title in 1989.
Colgate figured lo be amongst the league leaders after
being picked second in the preseason coaches' poll, just
behind UVM. but has sputtered against strong Hockey
East competition thus far. Colgate fell to both Maine and
UNH. with their only wins coming over Canadian schools
Waterloo and Ottawa.
Big guns Mike Harder. Chris DcProfio and Earl
Cronan will have to step up their play for Colgate to go
far. Friday's game against flarvard will be a good indica-
tion of jusi where the Red Raiders stand in the confer-
ence.
• BU, still left with a lump in its heart after the Travis
Roy incident, got an emotional lift with 12 minutes to play
in the Terriers' 10-2 thumping of Northeastern Saturday
night.
|.P. McKcrsic entered the BU net for the first time
since the 1994 NCAA Final against Lake Superior.
McKersic was riding his bike home from work orte
night last summer and was struck by a car. McKcrsie was
sent into a coma and doctors feared brain damage. Weeks
after the crash McKcrsic still could not walk, but
Saturday night he was able to make five saves against ihc
Huskies.
The ovation McKersic received as he skaled to the net,
by many accounts drowned out the ovation that resound-
ed through Waller Brown Arena two long weeks prior, as
the National Championship banner was raised.
Through both McKersic and Roy, in addition to Chris
O'Sullivan's neck injury two seasons ago, the Terriers and
their fans are receiving a heavy dose of human-interest
stories that overshadow hockey.
While they do serve as a valuable and constant
reminder that there are bigger things than winning games,
stories such as these arc three too many if you ask the
Terrier faithful.

assists. Tyrone Weeks showed little
effects from foot surgery, finishing
the night with six points.
Camby was his usual self. Along
with his 24 points (II- for- 18 from
the field), the junior center rejected
four shots and grabbed 10 boards.
But he too. like Calipari. wasn't
happy about the team's perfor-
mance.
"If we can't play defense against
these guys, what are we going to do
against Kentucky?" Camby said. "We
have three weeks to prepare. With a
lot of hard work, if we work hard in
practice, we'll be alright."
The Minutemen open up their sea-
son Nov 28 when they will battle
Kentucky at the Great Eight
Tournament.

EAST RUTHERFORD. N.). -
After threats to move and months of
negotiations, the Devils made it offi-
cial Tuesday — they are staying in
New lerscy for at least 1 2 more years.
The NHL team signed a lease to
remain at the Meadowlands Arena,
ending a contentious stretch during
which the Devils won their first
Stanley Cup and the New jersey Sports
atxi Exposition Authority sued to keep
them from going to Nashville, Tenn.
The agreement isn't nearly as lucrative
as what Nashville was offering, con-
ceded team owner |ohn McMullen,
who credited Devils fans and Gov.
Christie Whitman's special envoy to
the talks — husband John Wlutman —
with convincing him to stay.
The deal requires no taxpayer
expense, the governor said, as in the
move of the Cleveland Browns to
Baltimore.
It allows the Devils to quit the
stale immediately, however, if New
K'rsey starts building a "major league
facility,' such as a baseball stadium,
without a team signed for it.
Addressing persistent rumors the
New York Yankees might be lured
across the river, McMullen said, "I'm
going to do everything I can, within
the agreement, to keep the Yankees
from coming to New lerscy."
Changing the arena's name, once a
proposal, is now part of the authori-
ty's mandate, although it is not clear
when the rights to the name will be
sold to a sponsor. The arena now
honors Brendan Byrne, who helped
create the Meadowlands complex
while governor from 1 974-82.
The Whitmans attended Tuesday's
announcement, along with NHL com-
missioner Gary Bettman. McMullen
and authority president Robert
Mulcahy III.
McMullen said he was greatly influ-
enced to stay after the Stanley Cup vic-
tory rally in June at the Meadowlands.
"This doesn't provide me any liveli-
hood, but it does provide a great deal
of satisfaction and fun," he said. "I
can break even."
Nevertheless, the new agreement
guarantees $3.2 million in annual rev-
enue to the team and forgives a $ 1 .65
million loan. Also, McMullen is about
to obtain a $25 million private loan to
consolidate losses incurred since the
team moved to New Jersey from
Denver in 1982, which he said was
necessary for him to stay. Those terms
were part of a tentative pact
announced July 13, which had also
anticipated the installation of 14 new
luxury suites and 1,600 luxury club
seats at the arena.
The construction, however, is no
longer part of the deal, although the
authority hopes to install club seats
within five years.
Mulcahy said it may not be prof-
itable or possible for the authority to
build .suites, and initial plans for the
club seats were not acceptable to the
authority.
However, the guaranteed revenue to
the Devils rises to $5.2 million after
five years, when the sports authority
hopes to be getting revenue from the
club seats and other improvements.
The tentative agreement did not antici-
pate the increased guarantee, but Gov.
Whitman said she was confident the
authority's plans to generate additional
revenue, including a sale of rights to
the arena's name, would be able to
meet the terms, thus keeping taxpayers
from picking up any shortfall.
The authority, an independent state
agency, operates the Meadowlands
sports complex, which includes
Giants Stadium, used by the Giants
and lets; the arena, used by the Devils
and Nets: and the Meadowlands
Racetrack, a harness and thorough-
bred course. Under the new lease:
• The Devils must continue to use
New lersey in their name.
• The sports authority no longer
gets any fee from the Devils if they
win the Stanley Cup again. Last sea-
son's victory cost the team $200,000
• The authority will improve the
arena's acoustics and aesthetics,
refurbish all seats over three years
and build an entertainment-confer-
ence room for the Devils in the arena.
• The press box will be moved
higher, adding 100 seats in a prime
location.
• Litigation between the authority
and Devils will be dropped.

I've been Irying lor about a

a ton of applications.
All last sumnwr I went to bed
with my pants on... I did that just in
case tliey called me in the morning. I
wanted to be ready.
But I think there was a flaw in
my abroach. I should've been fresh.
Fresh is more impotlanl than ready.
I should've gone to bed naked.
Fresh is more interesting..

Minutemen look sloppy in win
Bryant looking at LaSalle;
A-10 recruiting falling off
By Candke Flemming
Collegian Staff
Massachusetts 105
Dinamo 7
The la>i lime the Massachusetts men's basketball team
wore black, the Minutemen were the No. I team in the
nation, and ended up losing to George Washington.
The Minutemen wore black again last night in their first
exhibition game of the
l^>}5-96 season, against
Dinamo of Novosibirsk,
Russia at the William D.
Mullins Center.
Although UMass played
poorly, just as ihe> did against GW. the results were differ-
ent — the Minutemen came away with the win.
But Massachusetts coach |ohn Calipari still was not happy
about his team'* 105 75 thumping of I^inamo.
"That wasn't a very giKid performance. " he said "I was a
little upset with the decision making. Kighteen turnovers
agaisnt the zone is a lot. We were playing against us. not
playing against the other team."
On the other hand. Dinamo wasn't tcK) protective of the
b«ll either, as it committed 2t turnovers, making for an
extremely sloppy game, as one might expect from an exhibi-
tion contest
The Minutemen did have si)me scijid performances though.
Marcus Camby had a team-high 24 points, as five
Minutemen sci>red in double- figures. Camielo Travieso had
18, Dana Dingle had 17. Inus Norville added 14 and Donta
Bright finished with 10 The only Minuteman who didn't
score was freshman walk-on Ross Burns, who entered the
game with 1 :04 to go.
Perhaps the biggest night came from Travieso. The junior
guard connected on four three- pointerv and finished with the
18 points on 7 for- 15 ^hlK»ting With depth at the guard
position being one of the Minutemen's weaknesses.
Travieso's play was much-needed. His counterpart. Hdgar
Padilla. di'^hed out a game-high 10 assists, but ^lill commit-
ted six turnovers. He finisheid with seven points and four
steals
The Minutemen started off slow, holding an early 7 0
lead, but Dinamo priveeded to gc> on a 12-2 run (including
seven straight points) ic) take a 12-4 lead. UMass climbed
back in front when a Travieso layup started off a 1 5 0 run
which included a monster dunk by Camby which made it
22- 1 2 at the time
"In the beginning, we weren't ready to play." Travieso
said. '\\'- a giHKi thing this wa-- an exhibtion."
Dinamo slowly creeped batk into it. cutting a 12 point
lead to a three-point lead on a Dmitri Shoumikhin trey mak-
ing it 50-27 Konsiant Guerassimov keyed the comeback

Massachusetts Minutemen beat Dinamo of Russia 10S-7S in exhibition action last night at
the Mullins Center.
The nation's top high school senior
basketball player is leaning toward
committing to . luiSalk.
You read that correctly. Kobe
Bryant, a player that most recruiting
experts consider the top prospect in
the nation is strongly considering
becoming an Kxplorer.
The catch? You ask.
Bryant's father is the legendary |oe
"jelly Bean" Bryant, who is currently
employed as. you guessed it. the
assistant coach at LaSalle.
This of course presents an interest-
ing recruiting scenario. A coach can't
give a recruit money or shoes, but a
father certainly can. Does the fact
that there is a limit on how many
home visits coaches can make mean
that Bryant has to restrict contact
v^th his son?
Of course not
But what a gold mine Bryant could
be for the struggling program.
Now granted LaSalle isn't the
only horse in the Bryant race. North
Carolina. Duke. Kentucky.
Michigan and a host of Big East
schools are all chasing what looks to
be the biggest prize in the recruiting
pool.
But Bryant hasn't reached prop. 48
requirements yet and is considering
what insiders are now calling "Pulling
a Garnett." Bryant is considering
bypassing college all together and
taking a chance on trving his luck in
the NBA
If Garnett is successful this season.

SF-Dallas matchup, doesn't match up
All right you die hard football fans, this is the weekend
you have been waiting for since the league announced the
1995 regular season schedule. San Francisco at Dallas.
Entering the showdown in Texas Stadium, the Cowboys
are tied for the best mark in the NFL at 8- 1 and the 4»}ers
are. tgtilpt third in the NFC West with a 5-4 record and
right on their heels are the expansion Carolina Panthers
The Fox Television Network had to be foaming at the
mouth once again, with the clash of the two football
wrecking balls, when it was announci^. Now with all the
injuries to the reigning Super Bt)wl Champs, the ridicu-
lous spreads that they gamer on the
rest of the league has been slapped on
them. Dallas by nine and it could go
larger.
I realize that this is a game that San
Fran really needs so they'll be up for
it. as well as the fact that they will
probably have Sieve Young back in
the lineup. But he will not be at the
health that made him last year's Most Valuable Player of
the regular season. Even backup OB Elvis Grbac is hurt
and would not be at lull strength, so if Young were to rein-
jure himself during the game it would up to third- stringer
Gary Conklin to dissect the dominant Dallas defense.
Defense will be the key word for San Francisco this
weekend, because no matter who starts under center, they
cannot win the same way they prevailed over the Cowboys
in last year's NFC title game. 58-28. And the reasons arc
almost one in the same:
Deion Sanders no longer plays comcrback for San Fran
and Deion Sanders now plays comerback for the Cowboys,
If anyone can do anvlhing about stopping Jerry Rice it is
"Prime Time". Rice fumbled near the goal line this passed
weekend, look for him to come t>ut very determined more
baause of that added lo the Sanders confrontation. I wonder
if Deion will try and shake lerry 's hand like he did in Atlanta.
If the Niner's defense steps it up and Young is healthy,
it will be close, otherwise look for Dallas to cover the
spread, handily

have been their only competition for
the NFC East crown, the Philadelphia
Eagles, that division is the only one
without a true race entering week I I .
It's time lo determine which teams
have a chance of making a serious
playoff run.
Ill start with the AFC West where
only two teams are fighting for the
lop spot. Kan.sas City (8-1) goes up against the Chargers
who must knock off the Chiefs this weekend if they have
any hopes of getting a wild-card. If San Diego can reach
deep and pull off the upset Oakland (7-2) should pull
even with K.C. as they face the lowly Giants. The Raiders
can't look passed NY to the Cowboys which they have the
following week however. The rest of the way, Oakland
has the easier of the schedule, as well as the horses to win
the West. Don't be surpri.sed if |ohn Elway heads into the

Mas there ever been a division as bad as the AFC
Central? Not in recent memory. The only reason the banged
up Sleelers are a game ahead of the pack is because they
can beat up on the rest of the division which is just hurting
themselves. The Browns are in turmoil with there proposed

Chancellor to appoint task force
By Amy H. Parodysz
Collegian Staff
Chancellor David K. Scott is
appointing a task force to work on a
proposed new harassment policy
which would apply to the entire cam-
pus community. Currently, only
undergraduate students have such a
policy.
In a letter sent to the all University
employees and distributed randomly
to students. Scott said he hopes to
have the new policy in place by next
semester.
"We now have a document that is
just a starting point for discussion."
Scott said.
The proposal has initiated some
controversy because it limits freedom
of speech when the expression of
that freedom is a form of harass-
ment, said Associate Chancellor
Susan Pearson.
Response lo proposal
There have only been about 20
responses to the Chancellor's office
about the proposal, said Scott. About
half were negative.
The strongest response to the pro-
posal was made by a few faculty
members who contacted the Boaion
Globe, objecting to any limitation on
the freedom of speech.
"Critics say the proposed speech
code is Orwellian." according to the
Boston Globe, which also said faculty
was upset "their input is being sought
at the last moment."
In actuality, the proposal cannoi go
into effect until the task force v^ites
a final proposal, which is passed by
the Student Government Association
(SGA). the Graduate Student Senate
(GSS) and the Faculty Senate, before
it would go into effect The task force
will have faculty, staff, administrative
and student representatives They
will have an opportunity to "re-craft"
the policy. Scott said.
Faculty interviewed for the Boiton
Globe article was concerned that the
policy may curtail curriculum choice
or prohibit talking about certain top-
ics, such as the breakdown of the
family.
"(The policy] does not affect cur-
riculum issues in the classroom.'
Scott said. "What it does apply to is
harassment of one individual by
another individual, more or less face
to face."
According to Pearson. "The pro-
posed policy does restrict people's
freedom of speech, and there are fac-
ulty members who believe no restric-
tions on the freedom of speech are
appropriate and believe such restric-
tions are unconstitutional."
However. Pearson argued, courts
have accepted such limitations when
them involve libel, slander, and —
more recently — sexual harassment.
According to Pearson and Scott.
the proposal extends that same limi-
tation lo any incidence involving
racial harassment.
The restrictions would not apply to
public speakers. Scott said.
Scott said other objections to the
proposal were voiced by individuals
who believed the policy was to be
passed as it is.
The Boston Globe article was.
according to Pearson, the result of "a
serious misunderstanding of where
we are "
Working out the dctaik
The proposed policy includes a
Statement on Freedom of Speech, a
proposed Consensual Relations
Policy, changes in the Sexual
Harassment and Discrimination
grievances procedures, a Statement
on Workplace Violence, guidelines
for gender-neutral language in publi-
cations, and a Statement on
Religious Displays and Religious
Holidays.
For undergraduates, the major dif-
ference between the proposed policy
and the existing policy in the
Undergraduate Code of Student
Conduct is that grievances would go
through the Affirmative Action
Office, as opposed to the student
judicial system.
"The policy itself is simply a httle
more explicit," Pearson said.
In some of these more explicit
areas, the writers of the proposed
policy are in disagreement. However.
according to Pearson, these are
mirwr. In general, the GEO prefers a
wider interpretation of harassment
than the administration representa-
tives.
Both groups agree that the policy
should be committed to equal access
at the University regardless of "race,
color, national or ethnic origin, gen-
der, sexual orientation, age. religion,
marital status, veteran status or dis-
ability."
The GEO. however, wants to
expand that to include "citizenship,
culture. HIV status, language,
parental status, political afTiliation or
belief and pregnancy status."
According the proposal, the adminis-
tration believes these categories are
already included in the first list.
"I don't think they're vital issues,"
Pearson said.
The Graduate Employee
Organization (GEO) and five repre-
sentatives of the administration
worked on the proposal for a year
and a half before it was distributed.
Pearson said the group felt they
were at the point where outside
input would be helpful.
The idea for a universal harass-
ment policy has been discu.ssed since
iy*W. according to Scott. A commit-
tee circulated a draft, but then lost
memento Three years ago. the GEO
expressed disappointment that the
process was taking so long, and got
things rolling again.

Susan Pearson, the associate chancellor of the
University of Massachusetts, urged women every-
where to get involved in working towards improv-
ing their environment on campus.
A panel of four speakers addressed current
issues for women on campus yesterday at the annu-
al reception for the Faculty Senate Council on the
Status of Women.
Each of the speakers chose different aspects
about what is happening at the University of
Massachusetts campus that effects them individual-
ly and women as a whole.
"It is important for all groups on campus to be in
touch with each other." said Marcellette Williams,
deputy chancellor at UMass.
Pearson addressed such issues involved in the
report from the Faculty Senate Council on the
Status of Women.
One of the issues Pearson will be focusing on
this semester is the development of campus guide-
lines on gender neutral language, particularly in
campus publications.
Other issues Pearson would like to focus on this
year include telecommunicating, sick child care and
salary equity at UMass.
Pearson urged the audience for help to work and
address any of the issues she outlined, as well as
any additional ideas which may arise.
"Today al the University, we have achieved gen-
der equity in intercollegiate athletics." Pearson
said, "and in addition, a child care home page will
be up on the worldwide web within the month."
Pat Crosson of the Provost, said the women fac-
ulty at UMass are not losing ground compared to
male faculty, but thai women are not gaining
ground either.
Crosson said that currently on campus. 22 per-
DAVMION SMITM/COllfCIAN

cent of the total faculty is female and that thus per-
centage has increased only slightly since the early
'90s.
"We don't have the kinds of proportions and
representation of women on the faculty that we
could have and should have on this campus,"
Crosson said.
Williams called attention to the need to end sex
ism and classicism on campus.
"We are talking about individual behavior and
attitude that reflect differential treatment because
of race. sex. age. ability." Williams said
"We are the poorer and less substantial in every-
thing that we do when we fail to do that." she said.
The final speaker. Charletia Seymour, the gradu-
ate dean of the University talked about two issues
which affect graduate women students.
The first issue affecting the students, she said, is
the difficulty that graduate students have in balanc-
ing a career and home life.
Seymour also talked about what a positive influ-
ence mentoring dialogues would have on graduate
students.
Such dialogues would involve gender, child care
mentouring in order to address such issues as sexu-
al harassment and date rape.
"I believe that women's issues must be every-
one's issues." Seymour said.
Batya Weinbaum, the founder of a group called
Family Court Action, is asking for people every-
where to address women's issues
"We are asking everyone to e-mail Chancellor
Scott to ask the question where is the child care?'"
Weinbaum said.
Weinbaum would like to see improvements
made, for example, in the library in the area of
access of child care.
"There are women in this University now that
are in the trenches. Some of us can fall through the
cracks and drop out for the semester." Weinbaum
said. "The University has to provide us with the
tools in order for us as mothers to pursue our edu-
cation.
Frison Awareness Week
looks at weak jail system
By Gr«eory Gisimir
Collegian Staff
The problem of dealing with crimi
nals in society is often a debated
social issue. Many people feel that
prisons are no longer institutions of
reform, but instead an instrument of
social control on the part of the U.S.
government ,
In response to such an issue, a
Prison Awareness Week was orga-
nized by many groups on University
of Massachusetts who strongly felt
the need to bring a range of topics
concerning prisons and social control
to the public.
The Prison Awareness Committee
consisted of the UMASS Radical
Student Union (RSU). the Maoist
International Movement (MIM). the
Revolutionary Anti Imperialist
League (RAIL), the Black Mass
Communication Project (BMCP), the
Cape Verdian Student Association
(CVSA) and ALANA. The events
were also organized by the American
Friends Service Committee and the
Western Massachusetts Prison Issues
Group.
The week's activities include
speakers, discussions and music
geared towards educating the UMass
public. All the events are free and
open to the public
One of the week's events took
place last night in the Campus Center
at 8 p.m. — "Criticism and
Self-Criticism: How a Socialist
Society deals with its Enemies." Allyn
Ricketi. a former Naval IntelligeiKe
officer in the Marine Corps and ■
teacher al the University of
Pennsylvania, talked about his experi-
ence in China in 1951. He was
wrongly arrested as a "U.S. spy," and
of reeducation under the Chinese
Communists.
Ricketi said in America, criticism
and self criticism is known as brain-
washing, whereas in China it is called

py resembles self criticism. When
done properly and with a neutral
moderator, it can be used to help

Powell turns down presidential bid
By Gten Johnson
Associated Press
BOSTON — Retired Gen. Colin Powell thanked his
grassroots organizers "for the faith and confidence you
have in me," but that did not soothe their pain Wednesday
as the man they desperately wished to be president bowed
out of the 1996 campaign.
Across Massachusetts, more than 1,200 people had
already joined the "Draft Powell for President
Committee," organizing supporters in case Powell decided
to run for president.
"I'm sad that he didn't run. but I understand his comments
about not having the fire in his belly." said Jeremiah Cole, a
Cambridge resident who led the state organizing effort.
Cole said he had not had time to think about whom he
might support next year, but he .saw Powell's decision as a
testament to his character.
"The fact that he wouldn't succumb to the temptation
to seek that office, given the benefits in front of him, that
to me says an enormous amount about the man's charac-
ter," he said. "I think most of us, faced with that chance
or opportunity, might have succumbed to the temptation
to have all that adulation showered upon us."
Powell capped years of speculation about his political
future on Wednesday, announcing that he was a
Republican but had decided not to run for president in
1996 and would not be a vice presidential running mate.
Powell, with his wife Alma standing at his side, said he
had analyzed the costs and t)enefits of a campaign, but
decided he did not have the internal drive needed to make
a successful run.
"Such a life requires a calling which I do not yet hear. 1
cannot go forward," Powell said.
Powell, however, did not rule himself out of politics for
good, saying "The future is the future."
Although the Democratic Party still dominates
Massachusetts, with 40 fwrceni of registered voters, an
increasing number of voters are signing up as independents
and the Draft Powell movement hud flourished here.
Two weeks ago, three members of Crov William F WeWs
administration and a variety of other slate political figures
attended a rally and declared their support for Powell,
One of them, Lawrence Mayor Mary Claire Kennedy,
said: "At this time, today. Colin Powell represented the
biggest threat lo Bill Clinton. If I was enthusiastic about
(Sen. BobI Dole or the others. I wouldn't have been
involved in the Powell movement."
Kennedy also was unsure about whom she would now
support.
Frank Ollivierre, secretary of the Executive Office of
Elder Affairs, another Powell supporter, said; "1, like a lot
of other people, was hoping he would run. because he
offered leadership, he's right in the middle, and I think we
need that. Plus he had strong support ■ bipartisan, multi-
racial, multi-ethnic support."
Ollivierre said he hoped a more moderate Republican
would emerge and earn his support.
Cole, meanwhile, was heartened by Powell's criticism of
political conservatives. While Powell said they had legiti-
mate political points to make, he disagreed with personal
attacks they had made on him.
"In this day and age. seeking public office is an
extremely ugly thing to participate in." Cole said. "It's ■
shame, and one of the reasons it's so bad is it keeps some
really decent people from taking part and seeking public
office. I think the country poorer for it, and ttiday's
annouiKement is just another example."

than thinking. And there's no follow up. These people are
thrown back in the communities that created the prob-
lem."
Rickeit then began to discuss his own first-hand experi-
ence with self-criticism. He told of how he and his wife
had gotten a Fulbrighl scholarship to China, but inflation
had wiped out the grant. They were stuck in China and
lived with the Consulate general.
It was then, said Ricketi, he was asked to live among
the people and find out how the Chines people felt toward
the U.S. involvement in China. "It was no fames Bond
stuff," laughed Rickett, "and it was peacetime."
But when war broke out, his wife and he couldn't leave
with their visas. "jThe Chinese Communists] came out ol
the blue with a warrant for my arrest." Rickeit said.
Rickett spent four years in prison, during which he was
made to write a confession of his involvement in the war.
The process of self-criticism could only take place after
the confession was made, said Rickett.
After he was released. Rickett said that he coukj see ele-
ments of self-criticism in America, especially in the
women's movement. But he also noticed that, "Some peo-
ple used it to trash opponents, and it was brutal."
"Self-criticism is good in and of itself, but it's no solu-
tion. You can never reform. ... at best you can recognize
your mistakes. But society today provides no support for
such a change."

Revolutionary warns of power-hungry U.S.
By Lisa Chiu
ond Michelle Lugo
Collegian Staff
Revolutionary. Ramona Africa pleaded to a
crowded house at the Campus Center last night,
"we better wake up."
Africa spoke of the corruption of the U.S. gov-
ernment and its "system." in a forum prepared as
part of Prisoner Awareness Week.
Africa spoke from first-hand knowledge, being
the only survivor of the bombing of her family. She
described how, in 1985. some Philadelphia police
officers bombed her home causing a lire which
killed five babies and six adults.
According to Africa, the fire fighters at the scene
refused to extinguish the fire, while police forces
stood outside the burning home shooting the peo-
ple who would try to exit. Africa was the sole
adult survivor.
Africa also talked about the struggle of freedom
fighters. In her opinion, freedom fighters are peo-
ple who act against social injustices like police bru-
tality or legal discrimination.
She focused on the current and debated case of
one such freedom fighter, Mumia Abu-lamal, who
many believe is falsely imprisoned in Philadelphia.
The authorities of that state had initially con-
demned him to death by lethal injection. In
September of this year he received a "stay of extvu
tion." meaning he will stay on death row until the
appeal for a retrial is heard.
"No matter how many times I see the video it
makes my blood boil." said Africa after the show-
ing of a video exposing the inconsistencies in
Mumia Abu-lamal's trial. He was accused of mur-
dering a police officer.
According to the video, a large percentage of
people believe in Abu-lamal's innocence, and par-
ticipate in public campaigns to free him.
"What I would like to stress tonight with the case
of Mumia (Abu-|amal|, and other cases all across
the country, is that people are being victimized by
the government. People may not feel oppressed only
by being arrested. This is a system that doesn't care
about people at all." said Africa. "jThel Government
will do whatever it ncvds to do in its self interest.
That self-interest is to keep itself going at all costs."
According to Africa the targeting of pcvple like
Abu-lamal will end through community effort and
unity, rather than by legal means. She said the only
way to change the system is to start with the people.
"What has |the government) done for us'.' The
United States is worse now than it was 25 years
ago. They are hired to do a service and they don't
do it," Airica said. "They say they are public ser-
vants, but they don't do what we specify them to
do. The government twists things around so much
they have us believing we are their servants. We
are paying them to exploit and oppress us."
She said she is a revolutionary, part of the
MOVE organization, a revolutionary group.
"People are frightened. They say if we fight the
government it will be chaos," Africa said. "I answer
them, what do you think we have now. This is
chaos."
Africa said she was thinking about U.S. history
when she came to Massachusetts. "Wasn't the
country built on resistance'.' They went to war with
actual cops called "Red Coats.' What makes Nathan
Hale, who fought against legal injustice, a hero, but
,Abu-|amal. who is fighting against legal injustice,
an urban terrorist?"
According to Africa, resistance is even ingrained
in the Declaration of Independence, when it as.serts
not only the right to resist bad government, but the
duty to remove government that has proven to be
oppressive.
"How do they get away with it? Look in the mir-
ror." Africa said. "We have to get on the move, be
active: not to stagnate; not to be dormant: and not
to be a doormat for the system."
The full lecture will be televised in the future by
Union Video Center.
Eighth grade couple dies in apparent suicidal drowning
By Tom WeNs
Associated Press
MIAMI — Two eighth-grade
sweethearts, forbidden by the girl's
mother to see each other, apparently
ing suicide notes that told of their
undying love, their desperation and
their hope of being together in anoth-
er world.
The bodies of Maryling Flores. 1 5
and Christian Davila, 14. were found
waterway jlsi a few blocks from the
school they attended. Neither could
swim.
"I can't go on living. I've lost
Maryling." Christian said in a note his
parents found Sunday. "I'm escaping

Our beloved Minuteman decides to take a load off at the Mullins Center during last night's women's bas-
ketball exhibition.
darkness of the unknown. Because
reality is, I can't be with Maryling."
Maryling left more than six suicide
notes, police said.
"You'll never be able to under-
stand the love between me and
Christian." she said in one addressed
to "Mom and Dad."
"You don't let me see him in this
world, so we're going to another
place. Please don't cry for me, this is
what I want. I want to feel happy,
because I'm going to a place where I
can be with Christian."
Maryling's mother had forbidden
her to see Christian anymore, police
said. They wouldn't say why.
Maryling had told friends she might
be pregnant and her mother feared
the same thing, police said. But an
autopsy showed she wasn't pregnant.
"It's a Romeo and Juliet story.'
said Officer Ramon Quintero, who
knows both families.
Police listed the drownings as a
homicide-suicide, which is routine
when investigators don't know exact-
ly what happened. It's "a fair assump-
tion" the two jumped 1 5 feet into the
Tamiami Canal together, Quintero
said.
Their bodies were found a few
hundred yards apart, but the canal
has a swift current when the flood-
control gates are open.
Police wouldn't identify the parents
and the principal at (he young loveni'
school wouldn't talk to reporters.
In his note, Christian quoted from
an 1892 Italian opera. "The Players,"
by Ruggiero Leoncavallo. It's the
story of a man who kills his wife and
her lover. Christian wrote:
"Applaud, friends, the comedy is
over.' I love you all."

American reporter freed
to assist in peace talks
By Julijana Mojsilovk
Associated Press
BtLGRADE. Yugoslavia — An
American reporter held by
Eiosnian Serb rebels for nearly two
weeks was freed Wednesday, in
what Serb leader Radovan
Karadzic tailed a goodwill gesture
to help peace talks.
David Rohde of the Christian
Science Monitor was turned over
to U.S. Embassy officials in
Belgrade by Serb security officers
who mediated his release.
"I feel very relieved and very
happy to be out. and I'm grateful
to the Serbian security corps for
getting me out." Rohde told the
Associated Press in a telephone
interview.
In a statement earlier
Wednesday to the Associated
Press, Karadzic said Ruhde was
"cleared of all charges' and would
be releasLxi "as a sign of goodwill
and contribution to the peace
talks." in Dayton. Ohio.
Rohde. the Monitor's Eastern
Europe correspondent based in
Zagreb, Croatia, disappeared after
contacting his editors Oct. 28.
He had written articles about
human rights violations by Serbs
against Muslims in the Bosnian
city of Srebrenica.
hie was freed from a jail in the
Serb-held town of Hijeljina in
northeastern Bosnia.
"I was treated well physically."
he said. "There was continuous
questioning whether I was a CIA
agent. I think the whole thing was
more political than anything else."
A U.N. source in Sarajevo, who
spoke on condition of anonymity.
said the release was the result of
strong U.S. pressure, and contacts
between U.S. and Bosnian Serb
officials Monday and Tuesday.
In the Monitor's newsroom in
Boston, where some employees
had barely slept since Rohde's
capture, fatigue gave way to cele-
bration.
"We're all relieved, we're all
very happy," said international
editor Clayton lones, who went to
Dayton for two day- to plead
Rohde's case to negotiators there.
The Monitor issued a statement
thanking international organiza-
tions and political leaders who
helped win Rohde's release.
"The newspaper denied Bosnian
Serb allegations that he was doing
anything improper.
"Now that David is safe, we
want to state unequivucally that
David was on a jounvalistic assign-
ment for the Monitor. Claims that
he was engaged in espionage are
totally false," said David Cook, the
Monitor's editor.
The Bosnian Serbs said Rohde
was tried and convicted of illegal
entry into Bosnian Serb territory
and of falsifying documents. On
Tuesday, the Bosnian Serb news
agency SRNA said prosecutors
were considering charging Rohde
with espionage, but that Karadzic
also was considering releasing
him.
Rohde was planning to leave
Thursday for the United Stales,
where relatives eagerly awaiting
him.
"I'm going to hug him Tirsi and
say, 'David, tell me all about it.'"
said his grandmother. Elizabeth
Cookman of Wellesley
jllington.

are graceful, refined animals, fending for themselves
and keeping themselves clean frtim the nme they are

each other's asses and humping legs to take notice in
such behavior.
I have often heard people say. "It's a man's world "
Unfonunatelv . to an extent, this is largely true. We still
live in a -exist society I find this especiallv peculiar
when kx>king upon the dog/cat issue, because, without
^^^^___^^_ a doubt it's a cat's world out there
Society loves the cat. Disney
made millions with TTie Lion King
and we all know a lion is essential-
ly a big cat. What were the "bad
guys" in this movie'' The "mangy
poachers"? Hyenas, of course,
which we all know are relatives to
the dog.
The i.ai has the greatest rela-
tives: the cheetah (the fastest land
animali. the puma, the panther.
the tiger, the leopard, etc Let's
look at a dog's family: the wolf.
Yeah. sure, "the big bad wolf."
The wolf is always the evil charac-
ter in children's stories: the stupid
brute that's tricked into something
and get- it in the end Don't forget the hyena either: an
ugly scavenger who has an annoying laugh

Post headline'' "Hugh. Dirty Dog!" There are the
so-called "dog days of summer." WTien you're in trou-
ble with your spouse you're "in the dog house." Sick?
I'll bet you're "sick as a dog."
I have yet to find anything really positive associated
with dogs in society Yet, I love them to death. I can
relate to dogs. I'll never own a cat. I'll never dress like
a cat. Whv? Simple — the Y chromosome.

TAe U.S. scolds tadly on yet another History test
Assumptions misin-
terpret readers
To the Editor:
I am writing in response to Heman
Rozemberg's article on Nov 7. Mr
Ro/emberg's article was published
the veiy same day the Boston Clohi'
published an article pointing out the
ridicuKnis attempts of L'Mass admin-
istrators, citing, inter alia, some
notable L'Mass professors, to formal-
ly codify political correctness at this
institution Bui although the
Collegian failed to even mention thi-
issue. I shall not venture into it here
Apparently upset at the lack of
response to his Multicultural Affairs
issue. Mr. Rozemherg has considered it
necessary to give LMass community a
little lecture. Appalled that his section
failed lo elicit a single response from
the readers, he is fast to stamp the
readers with ignc>rarK;e. He goe< on sav-
ing. "If this is not a sad. real demon-
stration of .. ignorance, someone
please tell me what it is." Well, it seems
quite plain to me. althcnigh it may be
hard for Mr. Rozemherg to swallow —
perhaps the readers are simply not
interested, ^e-. I know this free scviety
idea is terribtv annciying. but people do
generally chtxise for themselves what
interests them and what not
If Mr. Rozemherg was simplv
expressing his dismav at readers' lack
of interest at multiculturalism. some-
thing he himself dixfsn'l quite under-
stand, never mind knows, twnn it is rel-
evant (but he\. that's why "Kverybodv
needs to worry abcxit it") That wcmid
just waste some more of the Op/Ed
page and we're used to that. It is more
disturbing to read how (again) white
people are "Ilx) damn stupid" to read
"a few sentences" in his double-spread
issue, unlike the students of color who
at least -topped at the sight of the issue
(not that thev've ix?ad it)
The most imbecile part of this lec-
ture is the psychoanalytic insight into
the minds of us whites, who. for
some reason, still don't feel guilty
enough that our "ancestors enslaved,
tortured, raped, killed, or exile" our
neighbor's ancestors.
Again, the timing for an article like
Mr. Rozemberg's is perfect. I would
suggest Mr Rozemherg read the neat
little parody of an editor who was
recentlv flamed for his lack of interest
in sexual diversity (published in the
Collegian). Here is an alternative pa>-
posal — as soon as our Administration
codifies political correctness. I suggest
we establish a Multicultural Awareness
Directive, with Mr. Rozemherg as the
Head Inquisitor. Perhaps some more
authoritv is all that's needed to
enhance our free society. Then, it will
be a whole lot easier to make people
listen, won't it?

excitement over new community activ-

response was made to my request;
however, I felt confident that the
Collegian would provide accurate

complete, information for the four ad-
which ran on Oct. 15. 19 and 20. as

The following review of the Festival
was inadequate and unrepresentative
of the importance of the event Matt
Sinclair's account left the reader with
questions and disregarded completelv

to the overall celebration. This left the
LMass ccnnmunity with a diminished
view of an event already hampered bv

Financial aid
ht not over
To the Editcir:
There is still several weeks for the
legislative process to be completed
before the bill is sent to the President to
be signed or vetoed. Students need to
get active now and let congress know
that we are watching and will hold
them accountable for their actions,
Onlv then will we avoid these cuts
which would effect hundreds of thou-
sands of students across the countrv'.
Financial aid is not a government
handout, but rather an investment in
tomorrow. We need to stop this
assault on hard working families.
Students are planning a meeting on
Nov. 14 in the Student Government
office in the Student Union to discuss
the Nov 20 Day of Action. (Call
545-0555 for more information.) If
you rely on financial aid to attend the
Lniversity it is essential to your
future that you get involved.

Women need to

To the Editor:
This article is written in lesponse to
Wendy Darlings article on Nov. 2. Ms.
Darling, such violence you speak of may
not have happened to you. but it hap-
pened to me. Last semester. I was sit-
ting in my Rxim in Cashin. typing with
my door unlocked and a man I didn't
know came in and grabbed my wrists
and foaed me into the room. Were it
not for my suitemate coming back to
make sure evervihing was OK, I don't
know what would have happened.
So yes. I do have a right to be afraid.
I have a reason to be afraid because
when mv sister went to UMass she was
stalked, I have a reason to be afraid
because half of the women I meet from
college tell me similar stories of them-
selves and each one of them thought it
would never happen to them.
I wrote the fiver vxxi refer to because
I don't want another women to have to
feel the anxiety arxl fear that folk^wi-d
what happened to me. A.s a riot gnrl. 1
never stated that these safety tactic-
were an answer or solution to the
probkm. but they are a start until wf
are all safe Also, my father has taught
me feminism ever since I was a child
and was the one to console trie when 1
was raped at a young age.
I am in no way attempting to make
men (especially all men. considering I
love many of them) out to be mon
sters. My father does not consider
these safety tactics or the flyer to be at
all "militant paranoia" and neither do
I. We see them as a way to make new
students and old aware of the fact thai
women are attacked and assaulted on
this campus, because it is all too often
forgotten and pushed aside
I am glad that you feel safe on this
campus, but mv experiences have led
me to fear my surroundings and to be
wary of situations Lntil riot grrrl and

Aid elimination
causes problems
To the Editor:
Many of you have probably heard
about the "Student Rally to Save
Financial Aid" that was held in
Boston on Oct 51 The goal of this
rally was to gain media attention in
the hopes thai -ludents could influ
ence the legi-lalive process. In the
upcoming weeks students will contin-
ue organizing around this issue with
a day of action planned on Nov. 20. I
would like to take this opportunity to
explain about some of the program-
being cut and to tell you what you
can do to help
On Oct. 1 1 Congress voted to elimi-
nate the Direct Loan Program form the
budget. The Program was establishc-d
this year to simplify the loan process
Under the program, the federal gov
emment provides the funds for loans
directly to each campus instead of
involving banks. The Program elimi-
nated the middleman from the loan
pax-ess and is more efficient and less
costly. A majority of the colleges thai
took part in Direct Lending this year
reported that they wea- "very satisfied "
with the program.
In addition lo eliminating the
Direct Loan Program. Congress al-o
plans to eliminate the six month grace
period that graduates have before
they must begin paying their loans. In
addition, the interest subsidy on loans
to both undergraduate and graduate
students is also being cut.
All of these programs help stu-
dents, particularly working families,
to get on their feel before paying
back their loans. The interest subsidv
for graduates and undergraduates in
particularly is a direct attack on
lower income students. Many
full-time students already hold sever
al jobs to pay for tuition,' fees and the
cost of living. This is an assault on
everv student thai struggles to afford
to stay in schcxil each semester.
Other programs that have been
slated for elimination or downsizing
are Pell Grants. Plus loans, the Work
Study Program, as well as
Americorps, In addition, a .85 per-
cent tax on each college per volume
of student loans that it lend has been
paiposed It is estimated that this tax
will cost UMass over $400,000 a year
and some colleges as much as one
million dollars a year.

'Single Guy' fails to make first
There's something increasingly mind-numbing about
television lately. Kind of like a been there, done that, so
lets do it again mentality.
That kind of philosophy ruled NBC's Thursday night
line- up. "Caroline in the City's" Lea Thompson made
"Friends" with Chandler and |oey on their
turf. It was a semi-funny encounter that
vaguely resembled a past episode of "The
Single Guy." Then |onathan Silverman's
real-life pal David Schwinuner had nii^
taken impressions on "The Single Gu>."
To complete the cross-overs. Matthew
Peri7 had an extremely brief cameo on
"Caroline in the City" as a boyfriend meoi
ing his girlfriend's parents for the firM
lime. The first time any network attempi
ed the star-crossed thing, it was funny and
original. Now it's just heen done before.
Ever watch a show so stupid that it's funny? "High
Society" is one of those shows. The new comedy follows
"Murphy Brown' and stars "Designing Woman" lean
Smart and Mary McDonnell {Grand Canyon). The two
play wealthy society women who really have nothing to do
with their time. In fact, this past week, the duo made their
lirsi \enture into the kitchen. Watching McDonnell
smoke u stalk of asparagus and put sunglasses on a fully
plucked chicken made the whole half hour worthwhile
For those of you who manage to slay awake through
"Saturday Night Live." it's worth hanging out in front of
the tube for another hour to check out
Dick Dietrich's talk show which airs
directly afterwards. The show is a com-
plete spoof The guests overact wotKlerful-
! ly and the host himself acts terribly tacky
i and insensitive. Watching Dietrich is like
I watching Ricki Lake, jenny tones and

There are actually five food
groups. That's right, coffee makes up
the fifth group. The majority of stu-
dents drink some form of caffeine
every day starting from the moment
they wake up till they go to bed at 2
a.m.
Actually the whole
coffee drinking phe-
nomenon is not that
new. The beans were
first cultivated in
Yemen in 575 A.D. The first record-
ed use of coffee was in Ethiopia by
the Abyssinians in 800 A.D.
The use of coffee spread rather
slowly through the Middle East.
During the Arabian Classical period
(A.D. 850-992) coffee was
widely used for med
icinal purposes.
For a long time,
the Arabs were
intensely pro-
tective of coffee
and jealously
guarded the secret
on how to prepare
it. In fact, in some
parts of Persia, the
drink was actually
used in religious cere
monies by the
Mohammadons. Even
today. Arabs can drink
between 25 to 50 cups a
day.
The popularity of coffee,
though, led to persecution. In
Egypt, the emperor thought
the people were loo involved in
drinking coffee after .seeing a group
sitting in a coffee house sipping the
drink before prayers. The emperor,
thinking it was wine, was di.smayed.
After being corrected, he still thought
coffee drinking was a bad idea and
banned it in 1511. After Cairo was
conquered in 1 527 by the Turks, the
drink made its way to Constantinople
where it was banned in 1554 after
houses were burnt down and riots
ensued.
The introduction of coffee to west-
em Europe was slow. Probably the
first instance of coffee drinking
didn't take place until the late 1500s.
By the 1800s, coffee houses such as
Ye Coffee House had sprung up all
over London.
The Dutch introduced coffee into
New Amsterdam in 1668, though it
didn't catch on until after the Dutch
surrendered to the English and the
city was renamed New York. English
influence made coffee the beverage of
preference, replacing beer at break-
fast.
Coffee houses became very popu-
lar in New York and Philadelphia
until the price of a pound of coffee
skyrocketed to $4.68 a pound. It hap-
pened that dinner at a coffee house
would cost around 1 2 cents, A cup of
coffee would cost 17 cents, making
Seema
Gangatirka
ale a better drink to accompany the
dinner.
These days the major coffee grow-
ers are Venezuela. Costa Rica and
Columbia. Coffee beans differ in
shape and size from country to
country, which
accounts for the dif-
ferent textures and
flavors.
So take a break
from studying and
make the trip down to one of the cof-
fee houses in the area. Heck, even
Helen of Troy drank coffee.
There's nothing quite like the aroma
of coffee wafting through the air when
you wake up in the niuming. A couple
of cups of instant and you're ready lo
go. But if you're looking lo indulge and
try some really gixxJ toffees, area coffee
houses serve up nol only coflee, but
scrumptious desserts and a good time.

Coffee is perhaps the niost underestimated drug in the country.
Caffeine is an addiction. Ask anyone who ever skipped their morn-
ing cup of joe if they ever got headaches or felt languid and tired.
You can bet after a mug of Columbia their right back on track.
Coffee has become almost a main stay of our society with coffee
shops, cafes and houses flourishing across the coun-
try. In fact a college wouldn't be one with a trendy
cafe to hang out in and pass the time away. Coffee
houses have become a new way for people lo meet
and regroup. But they are far from a modem inven-
tion.
In England coffee houses were places where people met to dis-
cuss politics and other news. Certain coffee houses were known for
the different types of news and information one could pick up
there.
Newspapers first started reporting news by listing the different
coffee houses and recounting the information exchanged in them.
Coffee houses were indeed almost like clubs for the lower class who
couldn't afford membership into places like the upper class.
in other cultures coffee houses were also places to meet and
Tara MK
Connelly
exchange news. In Indonesia, fishermen have certain coffee house-
they go to after fishing to talk about the day and discuss village pol
itics.
Even Hollywood has picked up on the chic of coffee houses and
cafes. What would shows like "Friends." "Ellen" and "Seinfeld" be
without their favorite caffinated haunt? Indeed cof-
fee houses have become a symbol of the '90s replac-
ing the stereotypical smoke filled room with pcx't-
and bongo permeating a badly lit stage.
Here in the Valley, coffee houses most defiantly
inspire a more casual atmosphere and create haven-
for students to escape campus life and get together in a warm and
familiar atmosphere. Have you ever tried lo get a table outside
Rao's or find a booth in Bart's on a Friday night? Coffee house-
offers an alternative to the hustle and bustle of bars They are alst) a
place that more and more students are going to study al as well.
So not matter what your agenda and whether or not you like cof-
fee (most places offer an array of beverages), try to fiiid your own
little niche, sit back and enjoy the atmosphere,

Beatlemania lives on with new ABC miniseries
ByMotttWoK
Aiiociaied Pre»»
LONDON - Derek Taylor takes a
swig of water from his Beatles mug and
declares that the upcoming ABC minis-
eries 'The Beatles Anthology' — and all
the hoopla surrounding it — still won't
close the book on Beatlemania.
'It's never the last word," Taylor, a live-
ly 65, says in a basement office at Apple,
the room stuffed with books, files and
papers pertaining to the legendary rock 'n'
rollers who still control Apple Corporation
Ltd.
"In my head, though I may think this is
for good, the fact is the interest goes on
and on." says Taylor, who worked two
stints as the Beatles' press officer and is
now fielding worldwide press on the
"Anthology."
"It will survive us." he said, "and the
main thing now is that we must survive
it."
When Taylor discusses survival, it's
clear he knows whereof he speaks. Bom in
Cheshire in the north of England, he was
working as the northern drama critic for
The Daily Express newspaper when he
first saw — and reviewed — the Beatles in
concert.
A subsequent profile of manager Brian
Epstein led to a job as Epstein's assistant,
ghostwriting his memoirs. After eight
months, Taylor left Apple for PR work in
Los Angeles but returned to the Beatles'
press job. and its ceaseless demands, in
l%8.
"I knew they were wonderful." Taylor
said of the group. 'What I didn't know
was there were four of them, and they
could hide away, whereas there was only
one of me. I could not hide, and the
world's press is vast.'
Al home, he remembers 'phones under
cushions and permanently off the hook
and if they weren't off the hook, they rang
24 hours a day. There was no peace." In
1970, Taylor left .Apple again to work as a
record executive, reluming a decade ago
to the company on an ad hoc basis that, he
says, has become full time during the
'Anthology."
'Nothing has ever been controllable
with these people because of whatever it is
they generate.' Taylor said. "It's always
been too exciting for people to know the
consequences."

"The Beatles Anthology," inevitably, is
generating its excitement — and its own
industry.
Beyond the six-hour, three-night T\'
special starting Nov. 19 on ABC. attention
is focusing on the release of two "new"
songs in which the three surviving Beatles
lend vocals and added instrumentation
and arrangements to two unrelcased lohn
lennon scmgs.
Taylor characterized the first song.
"Free As A Bird." as 'late-Abbey Road,
but it's also now, and it's the Beatles."
Capitol Records will release the song as
part of a double CD on Nov. 20.
Taylor said he found nothing macabre
about blending living and dead in a
recording move some have criticized as
'virtual reality" music.
"If it were to be tacky and unsatisfactory
and unappetizing or any of those things,
the people would have to judge, and I have
to assume the ex-Beatles would not do it
because it would not be a Beatlish thing to
do." he said. "It really is for people to
judge. I can't spin that one."
How does Taylor regard the group's
break-up some 25 years later?
'I always had a romantic view that the
k k. k A A
thing sttould. if possible. Ix.* able to contin-
ue.' he said. "There should always be a
Beatles."
But. he said, referring to the Beatles'
final album, released in 1970: "Let It Be' I
thought was living hell. There was such a
bad atmosphere around — rumors were
coming twck that our beloved friends were
squabbling, and I never wanted to be in
any way partisan."
Taylor said the "Anthology" shows,
among other things, the group's atnlHva-
lence about the split.
"You can see them pulling back from
letting it all end at Let It Be' and saying.
Let's go to I producer) George Martin arid
do another album.'" he said.
"Of the three survivors." he said. 'I
would say Paul is perhaps keenest on the
Beatles as a concept, though they all
acknowledge their reason to be grateful
for what happened."
Now. Taylor said of the "Anthology." "I
think they would be quite relieved if this
were it."
Not bloody likely.
'Nobody ever escapes the Beatles,"
Taylor .said. "Unless they behave dishonor-
ably, they never get away. It is for life."

New book inspirational ,
funny and enlightening
By Seema Gangatirkar
Collegion Staff
loan Brady's spiritual fable God
On A Harley wins best book title
of the year. The novel, published
at the end of the summer, is part
enchanting odyssey and part inspi-
rational guide to the secrets that
can enlighten and enrich our lives.
Brady's story offers a funny and
touching look at one woman's
spiritual journey.
Christine, the main character,
experiences an epiphany in a most
unusual of locations: during an
evening walk on the lersey Shore.
Wandering dejectedly down the
beach, wallowing in self-pity,
Christine suffers from a severe
case uf the blues.
Thirty-seven years old. no hus-
band, no children, career-
burnout and an imperfect figure.
Christine's just waiting for some-
thing to change. Luckily for her.
at that moment, a ruggedly hand-
some stranger sitting astride a
I '}40cc Harley Davidson calls out
to her across the moonlit sand —
and Christine's life is changed for-
ever.
Helped along by ")oe."
Christine slowly learns to trust in
herself and to make room for the
new people, places and things in
her life. As she crawls out of her
mid-life crisis. Christine struggles
through the pain and pleasure of
self- discovery and takes her first
shaky steps towards the future.
Midlife crisis' seem to be the
popular trend in fiction as Ann
Beattie's Another You features an
English professor at a small New
Hampshire college named
Marshall along with his wife.
Sonja. who are both suffering
from a pesky case of neurosis.
Thankfully. Beattie takes another
line from the traditional and cre-
ates a drama of escalating intensi-
ty about how easily ordinary lives
can go completely out of control.
Every character in this novel
has a secret and in a frightening
sort of way, every secret is con-
nected. The story begins as
Marshall lakes loo strong an inter-
est in a student distressed by the
trauma her roommate has suffered
at the hands of another professor,
McCallum. Marshall barely knows
McCallum but is soon entangled
in his surprisingly volatile and vio-
lent life.
While Marshall struggles to
tame his demons, Sonja's got her
own secrets to deal with. She con-
fesses she had a rather silly affair
with her boss. Then Marshall's
charming stepmother dies and the
door opens for coiKealed facts on
her life.
Another You is described as "a
powerfully composed work of
great wit. subtlety, literary finesse
and insight.' by Booklist. Kirkus
Re\'iews adds to the praise by call-
ing the novel "Vivid, rich and
utterly real."
"If it were possible to write a
Great American Novel of this time
in our lives, this is what it would
look like ..." says Publishers
Weekly of Independence Day. the
long- awaited sequel to Richard
Ford's celebrated novel. The
Sportswriter.
The hero of The Sportswriter.
Frank Bascombc, is back to star in
this latest offering. The often
poetic and sometitnes hilarious
account of a few days in Frank's
life takes place around the Fourth
of luly.
Divorced, working with gen-
uine enthusiasm and insight as a
real estate salesman. Frank has
embarked on a tentative new rela-
tionship with Sally who lives by
the sea. The weekend, however, is
not without struggles as Frank
desperately tries to find a new
home for some brilliantly
observed losers from Vermont
and has some resentful exchanges
with his former wife, not to men-
tion taking his resentful sun on a
sports Hall of Fame tour.
The novel is long, packed with
observations of life and reflections
of human encounters. If anything.
Independence Day is a book that
will make you smile, maybe even
laugh, but will always make you
see something that you probably
hadn't seen before.

Holly Hunter goes Home for the holidays
Robert Douney Jr. delights as a weirdo in an eccentric family tale by Jodie Foster
By Laura Slock
Collegian Staff
HOME FOK THE HOLUtAYS
Directed by Jodie ^oster
with Holly Hunter, Robert Do*m«ry, Jr.,
Anne Bancroft
Playirtg at Hompshire Six
Looking forward to seeing the fam-
ily on Thanksgiving? Well, after you
see Home for the Holidays, you might
change your mind.
Claudia Larsen (played poignantly
by Holly Hunter) is having a really
bad day. First, she has a terrible cold
which causes her to sneeze all over
the painting she is working on in a
museum. Then she gets fired by her
60 year-old boss, whom she later
kisses.
When her teenage daughter Kit
{"My So-Called Life's" Claire Danes)
drops her off at the airport (Claudia
hates to fiy, too), she tells her mother
she is going to have sex for the first
time with her boyfriend. Finally,
Claudia loses her coat in the airpori
and is stuck sitting next to the
proverbial talkative old lady in the
plane.
WTien Claudia finally arrives at her
parents house, the cat coughs up a
hairball at her feet, setting the prece-
dent for one bizarre Thanksgiving.
To call the Larsen family eccentric
is far too polite. As her brother
Tommy, Robert Downey )r. [Only
You) earns a new respect playing a
crazy person. He is like a three
year-old in a JO year-old's body.
Tommy's behavior (instigating argu-
ments, running around snapping
Polaroids of everything, beating up
his brother-in-law) is equally annoy-
ing as it is hilarious.
Anne Bancroft (How To Make An
American Quill) plays Claudia's dot-
ing mother, who flitters around, mak-
ing the turkey, intruding on Claudia's
more on top of things than most
members of the family.
Also thrown into the family medley
is Claudia's aunt who has Alzheimer's
disease. Her peculiarity fits well in the
film, as she believes her brother-in-law
(Robert Downey |r. stars in Home for the Holidays.
COUITIStlMKIOUWl
life — the typical meddling mother
routine. Bancroft brings something
more to this stereotypical mother act:
her character is crisp and funny, and
is her husband, sings and gives away
lamps to people. Claudia and the rest of
the family humor her, but the strain is
visibly noticed in her sister's tTes.
Claudia's bitter sister (Cynthia
Stevenson) comes to dinner with her
own fat-free turkey, spoiled children,
and literally anal-retentive husband,
played by Steve Guitenberg Her
character has obvious resentment
towards everyone in her family, and
prompts the dinner's path to disaster.
Each of the characters is pre-
dictable in a way, but so wonderfully
weird, you can't help both laughing
at and caring about the quirky family
all at the same time.
With her roles in The Piano,
Copycat, and now Home for the
Holidays. Holly Hunter has proven
her clout as an actress. Though three
vastly different roles. Hunter always
gives her character an unbreakable
strength and solidity. Claudia strives
on this hard personahty to get through
the turbulent Thanksgiving dinr)er
lodie Foster steps behind the cam-
era for her second directing venture.
The Academy Award-winning actress
made her directorial debut in 1991
with the family drama. Little Man
Tote, in which she also stanx-d.
Foster proves she has a keen eyt
behirul the camera for comedy as well
in Home for the Holidays, which is
filmed in short segments chronicling
Claudia's disastrous family dinner.
Home for the Holidays, based on
the short story by Chris Radant,
delights with its bizarre sense of
humor and Hunter's exquisitely sharp
perfonnance.
This family is so blissfully dysfunc-
tional it will make your family appear
as normal as Beaver Cleaver's. So
look 81 Hunter, then breath a sigh of
relief when you head home for the
holidays. B^^

the Club Crawl, an event to benefit
the Friends of Aids Care of

According to Carol Hyde, owner of
Peari Street Night Club, the Club
Crawl is an event where "basically
people go from place to place to raise
money for charities."
Hyde, who is a member of the
Friends of Aids Care program, had
wanted to do a Club Crawl for some-
time.
Timr IxKallon Tlmr Location Tintr Location
"I am on the committee for the
Friends of Aids Care and I've been in
what they call pub crawls in
England." said Hyde. "I've actually
been wanting to do this for a while
and now I have the chance."
The evening's events start at 7 p.m.
at Packards. Participants will spend
one hour there before moving onto
the Brewery at 8 p.m. where a belly
dancer is scheduled to perform. Next,
it's on to The City Cafe (9 p.m. I and
then Fitzwilly's (10 p.m.) where a
magician will be entertaining the
crowd. Finally it will end at 1 1 p.m.
al Pcari Street where Ben Harper will
be performing. Pizza, from Pizza
Paradiso. will also be served to the
participants There, a raffle will also
take place for a Sony CD and cassette
player provided by Tripod Audio.
"It's really a night of entertainment
and having fun fur a good cause,"
said Hyde who targeted the event for
21+ participants. "The pizza is our
thanks to people for finishing. People
can buy their tickets at Packards or
enter anywhere along the route as
well."
The event is also sponsored by
WRNX and their D| will be MC-ing
the event.
"You can come to Northampton and
walk to each place. It's really a perfect
route for a club crawl." she said.
Tickets for the event are $10 and

T-shirts which they are encouraged
to wear. The T-shirts were donated
by Red Hook and the crawl is in part
spon.surcd by the company who also
provides free O'Duuls beer, as well.
Hyde believes the event will be a
success and hopes to make the Club
Crawl a biannual event.
'We've gotten a lot of repose and
we hope to make it a bi-annual
event, twice a year." said Hayes. The
Club Crawl begins al 7 p m. al

full time band. Now once again. Deal has taken her own
path — this time forming an all new band, the Amps.
Overall the album does not represent a major artistic
achievement for Deal. Musically it is not a large departure
from her work with the Breeders, though many of the
songs are darker, moodier and less appealing.
Standout songs like "Hoverin" and "Breaking the Split
Screen Barrier" prove that Deal is among the most talent-
ed female artists alive. The later song is filled with quick
strong guitar riffs, tight drumming and unique song struc-
ture, making it one of the more interesting tunes on the
album.
Fans of the Breeders will be glad to hear tunes like "I
Am Decided' and "Pacer* which sound like out-takes
from Last Splash, the band's most recent release.
Although the album fails to live up to some of the stan-
dards that Deal has set in the past, it is still one of the bet
tcr albums you will come across in the near future. A-

The Sound of Munc by Pizzicato Five
Matador/ Atkanhc
Although relatively new here in the States. Pizzicato
Five (Maki Nomiya and Yasuharu Konishi) have been
cranking out albums since 1985 in their native japan.
With over 50 recordings under their belt the dynamic duo
are no strangers to the business.
The Sound of Munc by Pizzicato Five, their second
album released on Matador and first to be distributed by
Atlantic, is a true testament to their talent. The first single
off the album, "hiappy Sad' also is the soundtrack single
from the Mirama.x film Unzipped.
Describing themselves as "alternative pop,' the group is
anything but forgettable. "The Night is Young" combines
Japanese spoken lyrics with a grand piano, organ and a
styling disco beat. "Happy Sad' is like "alternative
Motown" with a "708 sounding theme show groove, loni
Mitchell- esquc lyrics in a smattering of both Japanese
and English. "Groovy Is My Name' is a hip-hop salsa of
techno pop and "If I Were a Groupie" has a 'Pump Up

When Galaxy SOO broke up in 1991
leader Dean Warchicm formed Luna, a
band that went on to gain moa* fame thai
Galaxy 500 ever dreamed about. Hi>
former bandmaies Damon Krukowski

obscure underworld of indie rock but
have proved themselves as equally tal

beautiful music that rivals anything that Luna has done.
Also Naomi's voice is as soothing and moving as one you
can find anywhere.
Many of the tunes arc reminiscent of the poppier side of
Galaxy 500 minus the noisy guitar solos Imagine if the
ind played all acoustic tunes and had never heard of the
-Ivel Underground. With the help of the legendary pro-
ducer. Kramer. Damon & Naomi collaborate on eleven
songs. Highlights include "The New Historicism" and a
live version of "Tour of the World." The album closes
with a moving duet between Damon and Naomi on a
cover of The Band's "Whispering Pines "
This album is a must hear for fans of Galaxy 500. While
Luna has been caught in a rut for several years. Damon &
Naomi have continued to produce intriguing and innova-

Rock "n" Roll has been fully integrated into mainstream
society. Gone is the day where the music spurred con-
tempt and hostility from "real musicians. ' Today Pavoroiti
is doing a duet with U2 and courses in rock 'n' roll are
being taught in music schools along side classical, jazz
and other genres of music. It is not surprising that a con-
temporary producer would take rock songs and perform
them with a symphony orchestra. The result is Us and
Them: Symphonic Pink Floyd. The album contains vari-
(.UUtttir |MM UMt«
ous Pink Floyd tunes re- invented by being played by the
London Philhannonic Orchestra.
It seems fitting for Pink Floyd to be chosen for this sort
of project. Their music is complex with various instru-

recognizable by Pink Floyd fans.
The album contain^ >ome of their most
popular songs which arc arguably the best

SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE

Sob Pop
From the success of Sunny Day Real Estate's debut
record. Sei'en. it came as a shock to most everyone when
Jeremy Enigk. lead singer and main songwriter, left the
band. Now that the band has officially broken up. and
William Goldsmith and Nate Mendel have become full
time Foo Fighters, Sub Pop has released their last record-
ing.
The opening tune "Friday" shows the band is still into
the same sad guitar-driven alternative lunes that made the
band so well known. Fnigk. who at times exaggerates his
slightly British accent, makes or breaks most songs on this
album. During "Theo B." Fnigk's voice blends perfectly
over the beautiful guitar phrasing, making it the most pos-
itive and radio friendly tune on the disc.
However on "5/4" Enigk over extends his vocal range
forcing comparisons to vocalists in (he heavy metal genre.
Throughout the CD, the music and sound is perfect large-
ly due to the power house rhythm section of Goldsmith
and Mendel.
While this band is one you either love or hate, it is hard
to deny their tight musicianship. The same hokis true fur

Young jazz superstar Joshua Redman.
Young jazz star proves worth
By Matt Wexler
Collagton Corraipondenl
X35HUA REDMAN
Iron Hofse
Nov. 6
Monday night the Iron Horse was alive with jazz as
|o!ihua Redman led his up-and-coming quartet to the
stage. The first song an upbeat tune names, "jig a' lug"
from Redman's album Spirit Of the Moment, leapt
immediately into a melodic tenor saxophone solo.
Redman built his solo quickly, wasting no time in
getting the crowd excited, finally topping it off with u
series of lightening fast phrases. Redman then turned
the song over to Peter Martin on piano for another solo
and finally to bassist Christopher Thomas.
The second tune, "The Oneness of Two" from
Redman's album Moodswing was equally entertaining,
with a quick pace and a savory melody. Soloists were
Redman on soprano taxophone. Martin on piano and
Mark Brettler on drums.
After a brief break where Redman conversed with
the crowd, the quartet delved back into the music with
a ballad entitled. "Never End" featuring tenor sax and
piano solos. The tune finished off with a long cadenza
by Redman, where he used extreme harmonic ranges
of the saxophone and difficult pilch bends.
The show covered most bases of acoustic jazz, con-
tinuing with a Latin tune, several bebop and swing
charts, and finally ending v^th a quick rendition of "I
Feel Good." For the encore he and his quartet played
an upbeat, happy tune composed by Omette Coleman
named, "Uno Muy Bonita." which featured solos by
alto saxophone and piano solo.
loshua Redman proved once again why he is being
considered one of the most accomplished saxophone
artists of today. The quartet flawlessly represents
nearly all the form of acoustic jazz, while Redman
himself plays with a style uniquely his own. A truly
great artist in the making, Redman is helping to con-
struct a future for jazz that will take the music in
exciting new directions while drawing from its
roots.

Douglas* mixes politics and love
* American President* questions government authorities lovelife
By John Horn
AssocicHed Press
LOS ANGELES — Politicians are
fed up with Hollywood, and voters
have had it with Washington. So why
in the world does anyone think
there's an audience for "The
American President?"
The new movie stars Michael
Douglas as the widowed man in the
White House and Annette Bening as
the environmental lobbyist who
catches the chief executive's newly
roving eye. Opening Nov. 17. the
film is being touted even by rival stu-
dios as one of the fall's brightest
lights and a certain box-ofTice smash.
The enthusiasm is sparked in part
by "The American President's" kindly
stubbornness. Where the media (and
rival lawmakers) frequently portray
the president as a soulless political
creature, Douglas' Andrew Shepherd
is warm and human. Against a
national backdrop of cynicism and
apathy, the filmmakers glorify opti-
mism and persistence. It's almost like
the Kennedy years, three decades
later.
"The American President" is also
the year's most distinct romantic fan-
tasy — how many people dream of
dating the world's most powerful
leader?
"I think the movie celebrates the
presidency." says Rob Reiner, the
film's producer and director, "it asks
the question. "Can you be a president
and a man at the same time'.'' AikI it
says, 'You have to be. In order to be
a good president, you have to be a
human being.' "
Unlike some movies about
Washington (see I993's "Dave"),
"The American President" docs not
drop real-life politicians into its life-
like Washington sets. There's no mis-
taking Shepherd's similarities to
President Clinton, however, and
Richard Dreyfuss' mean-spirited Sen,
Rumson is an admitted hybrid of
Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole and
House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
The film's minor messages about
gun control and the environment
unfold in the background. The real
story is about romance on
Pennsylvania Avenue.
Shepherd, whose wife died from
cancer, is a single parent to a young
girl. As much as daughter Lucy longs
for a mother, the president misses
companionship (Robert Rcdford was
originally set to play Douglas' part
but dropped out).
Bening's Sydney Wade character
first meets Shepherd while lobbying
for an environmental bill, and the
president is immediately smitten. But
what can the president do? Call up
and ask her out on a date? Send
flowers? Share a dance at a state din-
ner? What will the voters think? And
how does the president get an outside
phone line?
That core story evolved during
nearly two years of screenwriting by
Aaron Sorkin, who collaborated v^th
Reiner on I992's "A Few Good
Men."
Clinton's advisers granted Sorkin
and Reiner some White House
access, and current and former
administration officials offered guid-
ance. From a novel-length script of
575 pages of heavy political speeches
and argument, Sorkin and Reiner
trimmed "The American President"
to a manageable light comedy.
The romance, Sorkin believes, will
draw audiences in. Once there, he
hopes, they will see the president as
he could be and should be seen, not
as he is frequently depicted.
"1 think the audience is interested
in a good story," Sorkin says. "You
can have a good story about yaks,
and people will watch it. But I think
a love story will trump everything
else. My biggest fear in writing this
was 1 don't think American adults
and the movieguing audience wants
to be taught a lesson. I think Ihcy
resent that."
Reiner and Sorkin struggled, there-
fore, in establishing a proper tone for
the film. They wanted to make their
political points and take shots at con-
servative Republicans, but they didn't
want to turn out a polemic. They
sought to concoct a credible romantic
comedy, but nut to trivialize the
importance of the office. "That was
the trick to this whole film — to bal-
ance the fact that we have a romantic
comc-dy as the centerpiece of the film
and at the same lime the backdrop is
the president of the United States
and the White House, which is a very
serious undertaking," Reiner says.
"I mean, we've got him about to
share his first kiss with the woman
he's starting to fall in love with and
just as that happens he gels a mes-
sage from one of the Secret Service
agents that the Libyans have attacked
this Israeli defense station. You're
going from comedy to something very
stark and real.
'But the film would not be good if
it didn't have both those elements, if
it was just a romantic comedy, it
would not be satisfying. If it was just
a political film, it would probably not
be as accessible to the audience."
As "The American President"
unfolds. Shepherd is denounced by
Sen. Rumson for his relationship
with Wade, and the gossip-hungry
media grows far more excited about
the president's personal life than
pending legislation and government.
It looks a lot like the real
Washington, and is probably the
film's most subtle statement about
how decency and relevance are van
ishing from the White House. "Now.
anything that anybody does is fair
game." Reiner says.
Little of Sorkin's original, admit-
tedly long-winded script remains in
the finished film — except for one
scene. Near the end of the film.
Shepherd heads to the White House
press room podium to defend himself
and repudiate smear campaigning. If
the movie has a message, it's to be
found in the somewhat preachy
speech.
In that speech. Sorkin for a
moment saw himself speaking not
only as the president txit also for the
American voters. Says Sorkin: "My
hope is that perhaps it will shove
some people into cutting it (personal
attacks) out. krKxrking it off and gel-
ting serious."

Rancid's LP strays from pack
By Tara MK G>nneUy
Collegion Staff
RMXH)
. . . And Out Come The Wolyes
Epitaph
"There's a punk-rock kid on
every eorner today." — Keith
Morri>, Circle lerks
When Rancid first appeared on
the music scene the first response
to them was. "Oh, great. Another
wanna-be lohnny Rotten." And
indeed that is what most people
said of songs like "Salvation" and
"Radio" off their sophomore effort
Let s Go.
But soon "Salvation* found its
way to the MTV Buzzbin and
began blocking airwaves with their
bombastic sound and cut throat
lyrics. Soon the opinion changed
and Rancid was no longer just
another punk revival band, but a
good punk band riding on its own
lyrics and pure punk sound.
Now with their third LP ...And
Oui Comes The Wolves, produced
by Icrry Finn (Green Day.
Pennywise and The Muffs). Rancid
hopes to secure their spot in the
world of punk/ska and prove once
and for all that their no cover
band.
The album opens up with
"Maxwell Murder" which quickly
puts an end to any notion that
these guys have strayed from the
path of the genre. Lyrics are kept
to a minimum while the bass and
guitars fuel the rest.
"Time Bomb," the first single has
a jittery jumping feel to it. It's got a
Ramones type style to it with non-
sensical lyrics and a catchy ska riff
that sucks you in and has you hum-
ming it for the rest of the day.
"Listed MIA." "She's Automatic"
and ".As Wicked" follows the same
CCXJITEST WlfH
Rancid ...And Out Come The Wohfei.
sort of slap shot recipe that's one
part guitar, one part vocals and
three parts attitude mixed tightly
and packed for perfection.
Rancid, a four member band
comprised of Tim "Lint"
Armstrong (vocal guitar), Lars
Frederiskson (guitar, vocals). Matt
Freeman (bass) and Brett Reed
(drums). They debuted on
Lookout Records with a 7* and
then signed to Epitaph. The
albums lyrics are expressive of
their lives amidst drugs, homeless-
ness and the street life in their
native East Bay.
"lourney To The End Of The
East Bay' chronicles the story of
Freeman and Armstrong's first
band the ska/punk Operation Ivy.
Formed in 1987, this Oilman St.
club staple influenced such punk
notables as Green Day. It was the
first San Fran band to move form
the area and bring its music all
over the country.
In "Olympia WA," Armstrong
bites out, "Hanging out with Lars
down on 6th street, he knows I was
in trouble/I was feeling like the
devil/There's something burning
deep inside me." Other lyrics are
sung or shouted with equal force
and Cypress Hill-esque shadowing
(minus the irritation). One of the
more unique sounding arrange-
ments is on "junkman" which has a
voice over type chorus that sounds
oddly like something The Fall
would include.
Rancid definitely has the look of
old-school punk — mohawks and
tattoos neatly in tact and it is with
little speculation that they have
chosen to revert back to their
Operation Ivy influences. With
their scathing guitars, solid three
cords and anthem lyrics fueling
their success, it wouldn't be sur-
prising that after all the dust has
cleared, the hype has died and
only the die hards remain. Rancid
will be one of the few still stand-
ing.

better. Blues Traveler's cover of Sly and the Family
Stone's "I Want to Take You Higher" is surprisingly soul-
ful.
Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers' tune 'In the
Row' is also interesting. The muted trumpet in the song
adds a slight jazzy element to the song, a competent com-
position compared to Marley's dead father Bob's work.
Another standout on the album is a Muddy Waters
tune, "Champagne & Reefer' performed by Ian Moore.
The electric blues of the tune preserves the spirit of the
original version.
There are low points of the album however including "I
Like Marijuana" by David Peel and the 560's. A cheeky
tune about what the name implies. Another rather bad
track is Sacred Reich's version of Black Sabbath's "Sweet
Leaf-
The best tune on the album would be Sublime's version
of the Peter Toss tune "Legalize It." Overall the results of
the album are mixed but people who smoke and enjoy

Washington D.C. natives. Lorelei's testosterone Filled
trio pumps out pure pop tunes on their debut album from
Slumberland Records, a Berkeley, Calif, independent
label.
People first got a taste of what this band could do on
the Slumberiand compilation Why Pop Stars Can't Dance
with "Stop What Your Doing" and "Float My Bed.' Their
latest EP Asleep got rave reviews and encouraged the
band to pnit out their First full length album.
ex'eryone must touch the stars touches upon the outer
limits of pop and music. Songs like "Throwaway' and
"Inside Crimelab" cleverly mix together lush vocals, wail-
ing guitars and throbbing percussion.
Lorelei combines several different flavors of music to
create a sound uniquely their own. It's a mixture of noise
and pure pop that one can hear in "Filler" and "Day.
Also the added spice of a marimba, xylophone and double
bass that gives this up and coming band a space all their
own. B-f (TMKC)
DUBNARCOTK
Ridin' Sholgon EP
K
"Hey friend do us both a favor, no parking on the dance
floor," is the opening line on the title track to this fun and
funky EP by Olympia WA premier dub band. Dub
Narcotic.
Led by Calvin fohnson. the Dub Narcotic keep the
dance beat grooving on six tracks — three originals and
three remixes. In the world of dance music this album is
completely insignificant and virtually worthless but Dub
Narcotic is a dance band for people who usually hate
dance music. Strange isn't.
Tunes like "Half Life." Ridin' Shotgun" and "Harvester
Traveller' shows the band getting down on the street.
Probably the most appealing part of the disc is simply
lohnson's infectious baritone voice.
Johnson has been an essential figure in the Northwest
music scene for over a decade. He was recording on his
cheap boombox with Beat Happening back when Kurt
Cobain was still just a high school student. Slowly the
band reinvented punk rock opening the scene to bands
across the world from Beck to the Vaselines.
So where does Dub Narcotic fit it? It is hard to tell.
Johnson probably needed a new means of expression,
knowing just a few chords can be quite limiting. But this
music is made from the soul and filled with funky grooves
that will keep you from parking vourself on the dance
floor. B4 (MB.)

Doe performs a punkless show
By Woyken Show
Collegion Staff
THfXJHN DOC THING
Iron Horse Music Hall
Nov 7
Playing in front of a seated audience, the |ohn Doe
Thing took I he Iron Horse
stage Tuesday nighi with an
air of nonchalance that
overlooked the singer's
punk legend status.
Punk didn't seem to be a
concern, though. Doe was
quite aware of the audience
at nand and marveled that,
"everyone didn't go to
Pennywise."
Such honest sarcasm
merely augmented the
relaxed atmosphere. And
with the surprise presence
of fellow X member D.|.
Bonebrake behind the drum
kit. Doc felt right at home
leading his band through
most of their latest record.
Kissingsohard.
"Fallen Tears" started
things out (as it does on the
album) which hinted at
what was to come — Doe's
soulful vocals throughout.
Smokev Hormcl's
John Doe performed at
night.
blues-inspired leads. Brad Houser's virtuoso, 6-siring
bass playing and Bonebrake's solid drumming
What followed was a slew of Doe's melancholy ballads
("Hits the Ground.' "Field of Dirt') intertwined with his
more rocking alternative songs ("Love Knows." "Beer,
Gas, Ride Forever').
In "Tragedy by Definition." Doe displayed the usual
motif of relationships so evident in X ("Romanc- has got
to be the greatest fantasy").
Described as "King
Crimson plays Iron
Maiden." "Love Knows"
saw a return to unre-
strained punk simplicity
with a twist of progressive
pop.
Other surprises surfaced
which included a new song
written on tour from his
first solo effort, "With
Someone Like You" off of
Meet John Doe.
The lohn Doe Thing's
performance was indeed a
treat as it was an uncon-
scious history lessen.
Unfortunately. Doe's time
may have run its course in
the realm of popular music.
Whether he or X was ever
in that position is question-
able, yet it is evident that
his or X's influence has
hardly achieved the recog-
nition deserved.

Japanese dancers to perform tonight
By Matt Sinclair
Collegion Stoff
The New York City based Saeko Ichinohe Japanese
Dance Company will perform at Bowker Auditorium
tonight. The company has been especially noted in recent
years for its ability to act as a cultural bridge between F.ast
and West. The company combines an appreciation of the
traditions and art forms of lapan with the added dimen-
sion of American contemporary dance.
The company began its activities in HTO and toured
the United States in 1973. The company was fully incor-
porated under Saeko Ichinohe in 1975 and has since per-
formed at the New York Dance Festival. The Lincoln
Center Out-of- Doors Festival and at the Kennedy
Center's Terrace Theater.
Television appearances have included PBS's "Live by
Satellite: lapanese Performing Arts in America." and the
company has also featured in a commercial for National
Young Audiences — sponsored by the Mobil Corporation.
The dancers represent different ethnic backgrounds and
it is this diversity which helps create and express the true
blend of East and West.
The four pieces that will be performed include —
Chidori (1987). which is based upon Japanese shore birds
This act features traditional dance vocabulary and is used
to express the movements of the birds.
Dosojin (1992) is based upon a lapanese deity or
guardian of the same name. This dance will portray a day
in a local village as the Japanese people pass by a dosojin.
The third act is an excerpt from Moon Breeze (1994)
and features Akhome-Ohgi or lapanese traditional
fans Such fans originated one thousand years ago and the
company will utilize them in ways that transcend their tra-
ditional function.
The final act is an excerpt from The Tale of Genji
(1995). This tale (written by Murasaki Shikibu in the
•tevenih century) is a dance that will depict the youth of
Prince Genji. son of Emperor Kiritsubo.
Saeko Ichinohe and Company will perform at 8 p.m. in
Hou'ker Auditorium. Tickets are available at the box office
for SI 5. $10. and $S for children lb and under Tickets
for Five-College students are $5 For more information

Haymarkct
Main St.. Northampton
Open Sunday-Saturday 8 a.m.-l2 a.m.
Northampton is home to one of the smallest big cof-
fee shops in the area. To be more specific, the entrance
upstairs on Main Street is an area as wide as a domi
room. But downstairs, one finds a rather large coffee
shop with a few little rooms for sitting to enjoy the cof-
fee and conversation.
The shop prides itself on being cheaper than most
shops in the area, as well as offering a 'relaxed atmos-
phere' for its patrons. The downstairs area is lined
with bookshelves filled with books that are for sale.
Small circular tables are scattered about, suitable for
large crowds.
The Haymarket does draw large crowds. A
spokesman says that weekend nights are really busy.
l..ate afternoon from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. is also a popular
time at the coffee shop. The clientele varies, ranging
from townspeople in the morning to students in the
evening.
The shop has an intimate, almost homey feel to it.
The cups aiKt saucers, table cloths and chairs are all
mis- matched, creating an environment more like
someone's kitchen rather than a impersonal restaurant.
Fans of coffee and ambiance will certainly love the
Haymarket coffee shop. Stop by and have a cup and
enjoy the truly special environment the Haymarket
offers. (Ed Hurley)
Rao's Coffee Roasting Co.
Kcllog Avenue. Amherst
Open Monday-Friday 7 a.m. -12 a.m.
Saturday Ji Sunday 8 a.m.-l a.m.
Perhaps the most patronized coffee-house in
Amherst. Rao's combines a trendy student atmosphere
while serving up a delicious blend of sumptuous coffee
and delightful pastries. This roastcry has something to
suit all tastes, and. while specializing in exotic coffee,
it also has a vast selection of tea from which to choose.
Some drinks are highly idiosyncratic to this store
and the "Brown Cow' is just one of many. 'Cafe
Mocha* is also notable and as an exotic mix of coffee
and mocha — ii provides the perfect cocktail for any
coffee-loving, caffeine- avoiding individual.
There is no typical coffee that defines this roastery
as it is imported from all parts of the world. The
unopened coffee- bean sacks and large steel grinder
also add to the heady atmosphere and provide an
aroma that tempts the punters in.

NFL owners leave meetings still shocked
By Dove Goldberg
Asiociotod Press
GRAPEVINE. Texas — Still a bit shocked by An
Modell's decision to move the Browns from Cleveland. NFL
owners headed home on Wednesday, some to contemplate
their own stadium problems and their ramifications for the
futui^.
Commissioner Paul Tagliabuc pronounced the league
still healthy. But it was clear that a lot of owners were
more than a little disheartened by the Browns' move, a
symbol to many of instability in a league that prides itself
on being the least troubled of any of the major sports.
And Tagliabuc acknowledged that.
"This is more than just a public relations jolt." he said.
"It's a deep psychological jolt to faas of the NFL. not just
fans of the Cle\ eland Browns."
There was little action taking during the meetings — own-
ers decided to put off realignment until after the I99fo sea-
son, raistxi Super Bowl ticket prices to a high of $350 and
disposc-d of a few housekeeping matters. Tagliabuc also said
it was unlikely there would be expansion until the next centu-
ry. But the meetings were dominated by the movement of the
Browns, the prospective tnove of the Oilers from Houston to
Nashville and the perceived instability that represents.
Thea- is also increasing concern about the difference in
revenue producing ability between "haves" and "have-nots."
th€ "haves" in this case being teams with good stadiums and
favorable lease arrangements as much as teams in major
markets."

Pro football in Nashville?
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. <AP) —
Buffalo Bills coach Marv Levy has
never enjoyed relying on rookies. It's
not that he doesn't like them. He just
doesn't trust them to play consistent-
ly-
Levy, finding a team riddled with
injuries upon his return from prostate
cancer surgery, doesn't have a choice
but to throw his younger players at
the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
"The fact that we're playing these
young players is a fact of life." Levy
said. "Rather than fret about it, we
want to get them ready. These are
opportunities. We hope that they will
come in and play in outstanding fash-
ion. It's tough on a rookie, but some-
time; they step up and do the job.
They're going to have to."
Buffalo, stripped of veterans dur-
ing free agency and lacking depth
after recent injuries to six starters,
might begin its game this week with
five rookies. The Bills have not start-
ed more than three since 1987.
The Bills will be especially inex-
perienced at cornerback after |eff
Burris sustained a season-ending
knee injury Sunday against
Indianapolis. They will start third-
round pick rookie Marlon Kerner,
one of three cornerbacks on
Buffalo's roster, against Atlanta's
run-and-shoot attack.
"Our secondary's going to be
under a lot of stress this coming
game." Levy said. "We haven't fas-
tened a game plan yet. but most
teams use more than the standard
four defensive backs against them. It
hurts."
Buffalo's problems don't end in the
secondary, cither.
Rookie Damien Covington, who
has been active for only six of the
nine games, is expected to start at
inside linebacker for Cornelius
Bennett.
Bennett has been hobbled by a sore
hamstring, and he did not play in the
second half against the Colts. Bennett
was moved inside after veteran Mark
Maddox sustained a season-ending
knee injury in Week 6.
"The coaches have been taking
their time and showed me the differ-
ent techniques," Covington said. "I'm
just working hard to get things down
pat. I'm ready to come out Sunday
ready to play."
On offense, running back Darick
Holmes has struggled while filling in
for injured Thurman Thomas, who is
not certain whether he will play this
week. Thomas has been nursing a
pulled hamstring and hasn't played in
two games.
Andre Reed will not play against
Atlanta after sustaining severely
pulled hamstring Oct. 8 in a victory
over the New York lets. Two-year
veteran Russell Copeland as been
teamed with veteran Bill Brooks and
rookie wide receiver lustin Armour in
the K-Gun offense.
Ruben Brown, the first rookie to
earn a starting job in training camp
for the Bills since Thomas, will
remain at left guard. Brown,
Buffalo's top draft pick, has been
plagued by penalties while trying to
adjust to the NFL over the first nine
games.
"We're not going to war by our-
selves," Armour said. "We have a lot
of veterans around us every play
telling us what to do. We're just an
extension; we're not the meat of the
The NFL in Nashville?
NASHVILLE. Tenn. (AP) — The
Raiders, the Rams, the Browns, the
Oilers. Hardly a month passes with-
out another team being sold or agree-
ing to move to a city that has learned
just how loudly money talks when
courting pro franchises.
An Indiana University professor
who's been studying franchises for 20
years says Nashville, which may have
both NFL and NHL teams by next
fall, upped the ante this year by offer-
ing $20 million to anybody willing to
relocate.
"The bounty you guys put up down
there, $20 million if anyone would
come, oh my goodness that just
raised it a notch higher. Baltimore
said, 'We'll give $50 million for an
NFL team," Mark S. Rosentraub said
Wednesday by telephone.
Nashville officials wanting a team
to give the city a major league cachet
offered the $20 million last spring
when the NHL's New Jersey Devils
looked around for a new home. The
Devils used that standing offer to any
team as leverage for a belter contract
at the Meadowlands. But that $20
million figure caught the attention of
Oilers' owner Bud Adams who is
unhappy with his revenue as an
Astrodome tenant.
Nashville now has a non-binding
agreement with Adams to relocate
the Oilers to Music City by 1998
dependent upon building a new stadi-
um and selling about $70 million in
personal seat licenses, the new cash
pot for pro teams.
The Oilers could be playing in
Tennessee next September if the
team is able to buy out its Astixxlome
contract. Oilers' executive vice presi-
dent Mike McClure said Tuesday
night that they had not talktxl about
such a deal.
Music City also wants a tenant for
a 20.000-seat arena that opens next
fall. Gaylord Entertainment Co.
would like to buy a NHL or NBA
franchise it could operate a block
from the Ryman Auditorium, former
home to the Grand Ole Opry.
"The intention three years ago
when we proposed the arena was to
begin to position Nashville as a place
for professional sports." said lenny
Hannon. director of the Nashville
Sports Council. "And since then, step
by step, we've put together a package
and the city's been very progressive."
The money being offered by cities
has accelerated teams moving
around, but Rosentraub. director of
the Center for Urban Policy and the
Environment at Indiana Universitv.
said NFL, NHL. NBA and major
league baseball owners remain in
control.

Percival of the Angels each received one first-place vote.
It was the closest race in the AL since 1979. when
Twins third baseman |ohn Castino and Toronto shoristop
Alfredo Griffin tied with seven votes each. The following
year, the BBWAA switched to the system where each
writer makes three picks, with 5 points for a first-place
vote. 3 for a second and I for a third.
The last rookie race decided by such a narrow margin
was the NL award in 1982. when Steve Sax of Los
Angeles edged Pittsburgh's lohnny Ray by six points.
Cordova. 26. finished the season hitting .277. He made
his major league debut on April 26 and started in a 2-for-
16 slump, but rebounded to hit .301 in May with eight
homers and 21 RBIs. He slumped to .247 in June, then
hit .293 in July. He closed strongly, hitting .304 frora
Sept. I to the end of the season with four homers and 23
RBIs.
He homered in five consecutive games from May 16-
20, tying the major league rookie record set by Rudy
York in 1937 and matched by George Alusik in 1962
and Ron Kittle in 1983. It also matched the Twins
record accomplished twice by Harmon Killebrew in
1970.
Anderson hit .324 with 16 homers and 69 RBIs. He
staried the season with the Angels and was just O-for-8
when he was sent back to the minors on May 15. when
rosters were reduced from 28 active players to 25. He
returned to California on |une 7 and in |uly was picked as
the AL player of the month after hitting .410 with seven
homers and 31 RBIs in 25 games.
Anderson would have received a $10,000 bonus if he
had won the award.

as is UMass' central defender. Erin Lynch. Now that
she has had three years at UMass. she does have that
feel for the game and knows where different people
will be positioned.
"When we were all freshman. |ulie stayed back on
defense while I was always on offense." Myers said.
"After playing together, wc understand where each other
will be. Now I come back and play defense sometimes
and she can get forward because she has a great shot up
top and is dangerous coming through the middle."
For a great deal of her development. Myers credits
Lynch.
"Everyone has a feel of where we all will be now and
that helps." Myers sakJ. "When I came in as a freshman I
got really intimklatcd a lot out on the fieW. I couW always
look back to Erin and she would never be intimidated.
Nothing could phase her. She's always confident out there.
"Having her back helpc-d my confidence level incred-
ibly. She's an amazing player."
After learning such an important lesson, she now
tan help develop the confidence in the younger players
just starting out on the team. Freshman Karin Johnson
feels that Myers has been a factor in helping her adapt
to the collegiate level of play.
"Rebecca is a very good player and she has helped
my confidence a lot." |ohnson said. "Sometimes it's
hard for me to play my style, but she talks to me and
reminds me to play my own game. She is a great leader
as a captain. Watching her play and how she deals
with things helps me so much."

"We're not going to change the

"We're going to continue to practice

Northeastern has a well-rounded

However, the loss of some of their

Newcomb and the team relaxing.
"You can never slack off against
Northeastern." Newcomb said "We
have to have everyone concentrate on

King attacked during trial

Mike Evans and his Minuteman teammates are excited about their 3-0 start and their sweep of
Merrimack last weekend.

"Anytime you get a sweep it is very special, but
because it was Merrimack it did add lu it.* Rissiing
said.
Although the season is Mill very young, ihe HtKkcy
East coaches, who picked UMass to finish last again.
are starting lo rethink their decision.
Being picked ninth has motivated Massachusetts to
prove the Hockey East coaches wrong.
"When we found out wc were last in the polls. I think
everyone in the room was pretty upset about it."
ManganaR) siid. "We knew what kind of team we had."
While ihv team was optimistic going into the season.
the perfect start has increased its confidence even fur-
ther. But with 27 gamt*s still to play, the coaching staff
is stressing confidence, but not over-confidence.
"Coming off the weekend I told the team wc need
confidence, not over-confidence," Mallen said. "It's
very easy lo get over-confident."
Regan said so far the Minutemen have held to
Mallen's advice.
"It's been a very positive atmosphere." Regan said.
"We"re very confident, but we're not being over-confi-
dent."
Rissiing said the team has to get usc*d to winning.
"This is a new feeling for the team and it's some-
thing." said the defenscman, "we'll have lo grow with
and lake in stride."
The Minutemen return lo action this weekend, when
they will tangle with the UMass-Lowell River Hawks
for a home- and-home series. Friday the two teams will
play at the William D. Mullins Center and Saturday at
the Joseph Tully Forum for Lowell's home opener
NEW YORK — A prosecutors charge that Don Kings
testimony in his insurance fraud trial was "absurd" and
full of lies so upset the boxing promoter's lawyer that he
told jurors in closing arguments Wednesday he might cry.
It was a lively climax to a six-week trial that had pro-
duced snores and yawns from spectators who watched
prosecutors try to prove King faked a boxing contract lo
collect $350,000 in insurance money for a 1991 cancelled
fight.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Craig Stewart launched his
closing argument with an attack on King's credibility and
urged jurors to use his own words to find him guilty of
nine counts of wire fraud. "It's not fair and square to take
a solemn oath to tell the truth ... and then tell you a story
that has no relationship with the truth," Stewart told the
federal jury in Manhattan.
As boxer .Mike Tyson watched with other spectators.
Stewart said King's testimony over three days actually
clarified the prosecution's case. King admitted it would
have been wrong and deceptive lo add a clause to a con-
tract for the canceled bout after the fight was scrapped.
Stewart said.
"The question then becomes, ladies and gentlemen, was
he a part of it ... and you know he was because the only
person who stood to benefit was Don King." he said.
Stewart said King lied any lime he needed to cover up
the fact that he ftarticipated at every turn in the attempt to
fool Lloyd's of London into paying S330.000 in training
expenses that were never incurred for the bout between
Julio Cesar Chavez and Harold Brazier.
Stewart described as "patently absurd" testimony in
which King said he was never told that his employees
were asking for $350,000 in training expenses.
"He knew. He orchestrated it." he said. "When he need-
ed something on the witness stand ... he just made it up.
That story, ladies and gentleman, was a lie."
For two hours, Stewart bashed King's handling of the
claim and then warned jurors lo remember the promoter's
misdeeds if defense lawyer Peter Fleming "sheds a tear for
Don King" during his closing argument.
Minutes later and late in the day. an angry Fleming fol-
lowed the prosecutor and did not hide his emotions.
"I may shed a tear." he told the jury as he began with a
45-minuie summation that will continue Thursday morn-
ing. He wiped his nose several limes and his voice seemed
to crack as he spoke. Then he look aim at Stewart for
accusing King of faking a contract, backdating checks and
lying about conversations and then telling the jury, "where
I come from, they call that fraud."
"Where I come from," Fleming said, angrily crumpling
a piece of paper and throwing it beneath him. "no prose-
cutor is going to call 3 man a liar and I know he doesn't
replace evidence with speculation."
"There's nothing that happens in this case, no piece of
evidence, that they don't choose to look at as sinister.
That is the mark of prosecutors, who you might find have
a higher obligation, trying to make a case." he said.
The trial is the second federal case for King. 64. who in
1985 won an acquittal in a tax evasion case.
King in the past quarter century has risen to the top of
the boxing world, promoting Busier Douglas' stunning
upset of 'Tyson in Tokyo in 1990. the "Rumble in the
jungle" between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman in
1974 and the "Thrilla in Manila* between Ali and |oe
Frazier in 1973.
Navy gets its goats — back from Army
By John Kekis
Associated Press
WEST POINT. NY. - Navy is
getting its goats back. No kidding.
Officials al West Point said
Wednesday they had located ihe trio
of mascot goals stolen from
Annapolis over the weekend by a
contingent of Army seniors.
"We know where the goats are,"
Li. Col. Don McGraih of the West
Point public affairs office said. "Two
of the cadets involved have come for
ward and met with the commandant.
Now, we're working cooperatively
with the cadets and the administra-
tion to return the goals safely and
expeditiously back to the Naval
Academy."
McGralh said the incident will be
reviewed and appropriate action
taken.
"We have viewed it as a breach of
discipline." McGralh said. "We've

fied and he didn't expect any retalia-
tory strikes.
"We hope not." he said. "Actually,
we're quite confident the Naval
Academy will do the right thing. We
wish we had done the right thing
hert. We did not."
When the animals turned up miss-
ing over the weekend, it didn't take
long to figure out who stole them.
"We knew Army cadets were
involved." Navy sports information
director Tom Bates said, "because
they cut through two fences to gel to
the goats, and 15 feet away there was
an unlocked gale."
The kid trio disappeared from a
Maryland farm 15 miles from
Annapolis during a predawn raid
Sunday. The action came five years
after the academies had begun making
annual ptacis to halt the mascot-stealing
shenanigans because they were gelling
out of hand. The goats were being held
hostage somewhere in the Hudson
River highlands near Wtst Poftif?
The cadets had intended to keep

them until the Army-Navy game in
December, but the Army brass
stepped in and ended the prank
through the cadet chain of command.
"We will, as soon as possible, after
we have ascertained through our vet-
erinarians that the goals are healthy
and can travel, lake them to
Annapolis with the appropriate
apologies." said Brig. Gen. Robert |.
St. Onge. in only his seventh week as
commandant of cadeis.
The cadeis said the goat-napping
was payback for a 1991 Navy raid on
West Point that netted all four of
Army's mascot mules. Despite the
breakdown in discipline, this was a
major coup for the cadets, who were
duped big-lime in 1990. They stole a
goal they thought was Bill XXVI. the
Navy mascoi. Instead, they got "faux
goat" — an omery character who was
drummed out of Annapolis because
of his bathroom habits.
Navy wasn't the only weekend vie-
■" tim. High in the Colorado RocKies. Air'
Force was recovering from the theft of
the Commander-in-Chiefs Tr«phy, the
symbol of football supremacy among
the service academies.
Army invaders stole the hardware
from the Falcons' trophy case and left a
hand-scribbled note — "We look it
early 'cause we're going to win it any-
way" — in its place. A security guard
discovered the empty case early Sunday.
This is serious business, folks. The
Air Force public affairs likened the
theft to a "tragedy ... on the same
level of shock and outrage a security
guard at the Louvre would feel at the
theft of the Mona Lisa."
"We're a little bit concerned." Air
Force coach Fisher DeBerry said dur-
ing a break in preparation for
Saturday's game against Army.
"Really, it was just a prank in the
spirit of the game. I'm sure the cul-
prits are some Army exchange stu-
dents we have here. It'll probably
I urn up sometime."

Sex is a big thing lor most
people. When they get it right... for
most people it's a blast.
What about creatures who
don't really have it...? Like bees.
But they can fly. All summer
they cruise in and out of the gardens
at 100 miles an hour.
Imagine yourself standing at
the top of the roof to your house. You
look at the building next to you. simply
raise your arms and fly over to the
trees nearby. When was the last time
you looked down at the top of a tree ?
Absolutely lovely!
Wouldn't it be great to fly all
over whenever you wanted... up into
trees, over homes... just jump up into
the air and soar through the blue
skies. . . free from tlie sfiackles of an
earth bound, plodding, foot existence.
Gee, what would be better
than flying...?

Mavs excited about 3-0 start
By Jaime Aron
Associated Press
DALLAS — lust three games into this season, the
Dallas Mavericks are undefeated and excited about how
well they are playing together.
■|t feels good to be 3-0." team captain jim Jackson said,
"What makes it feel better is that everybody's contribut-
ing. For us to be the team we want to be down the road,
we need everyone to contribute and we're getting that
now."
I^ch game this season has provided a different chal
lenge for the Mavs. second-youngest team in the league
and they have answered them all.
In the opener on the road against San Antonio. Dallas
trailed by 14 at halflime. The Mavs roared back to go up
by 10 after three quarters, then held on down the stretch
for a 105-97 victory. The home opener wasn't as pretty.
Luckily, it didn't have to be. Jackson, lason Kidd and
jamal Mashbum combined lor only 32 points and Dallas
Nhot only 43 percent, yet the defense was strong enough
to stop Golden State 99-84.
Another good sign the Mavericks have arrived was how
they played in a 99-8« victory Tuesday night against the
Vancouver Grizzlies. Dallas didn't take the expansion
team lightly. In fact, having recently been a similar collec-
tion of players other teams didn't want plus a few draft
picks, the Mavericks were very serious about taking out
the Grizzlies early.
The starters did just that, then the bench took over in
the second quarter and actually expanded the lead. The
staners raised the lead to 19 by the end of the third quar-
ter and the reserves played the entire fourth quarter.
Dallas coach Dick Motta wouldn't say he expected to
give four reserves 20-plus minutes, but he was sure glad
he got the chance to do it.
Motta was especially happy he could work in the two
new guys in his rotation: first -round picks Cherokee Parks
and Loren Meyer. "Every minute they get is money in the
bank," Motta said.
Parks saw the most time of all reserves with 26 minutes
and he responded with a game-high 10 rebounds aixl four
points, including a high-flying dunk off a lob ftx)m George
McCloud. Meyer had eight points and eight rebounds in
20 minutes, although his preseason foul problem contin-
ued as he was whistled four limes.
Rebounding is another reason the Mavericks are hot.
They've won the battle of the boards in each game by a
combined 1 66- 111, continuing the trend from last season
when they set team records for total rebounds and offen-
sive rebounds.
"They're a good rebounding team," said Vancouver
coach Brian Winters. "They were last year and they still
arc."
New stadium may create Va. jobs
SPRINGFIELD, Va. (AP) — A
major league baseball stadium in
northern Virginia would create 1,790
new jobs and bring $7.7 million a
year in new state taxes, a private
study released Wednesday concluded.
The economic study prepared for
would-be team owner William L.
Collins III also figured a park could
nican an annual $1 13 million in new
spending at games and in related
businesses such as hotels and restau-
rants. The local government where
the stadium is built would reap an
additional $1.3 million in new tax
revenues annually, the study by
KPMG Peat Marwick said
"An economic impact analysis is
one of the first major steps you have
to take along this path. There are
going to be questions about why
should I vote for this, what is the
benefit," said Mike Scanlon. a
spokesman for Collins.
Building a stadium would require
local and state government approval.
Collins would probably seek slate
bond financing for some or all of the
estimated S235 million project.
The tax estimates include income
taxes players and park employees
wuuld pay. real estate la.xes, business
^<:cs jnd<Mlm.laxut. i^ <«- ar'
- Tfie new permanent jobs would
include team employees, concession-
aires, the hospitality industry and other
related businc-sscs. the study said.
The report was presented to the
stadium authority deciding whether
and where lo build a park. Collins
paid an estimated $40,000 to
$50,000 for the three-month study by
the New York-based con.sultanl.
Building a stadium would mean an
estimated $183.4 million in construc-
tion spending over approximately
two years, Collins' report said. The
state would get $3.4 million in taxes
during the park's construction, the
study said.
The project would also bring 970
cvnstriKtion-R'lated jobs, the study saki.
Virginia would also get indirect
benefit from a major league club and
stadium, including increased media
exposure, tourist appeal and spillover
development in sports-relaied indus-
tries, the report said.
Stadium Authority Chairman
George Barton said the study appears
sound, but the authority will scrutinize
assumplkms about the secondary jobs
and ia.xes created by the franchise.
"That's when it can get all blue-sky
atul hypothetical," Barton said. "That's
when (public officials! gel nervous."
Slate authorities last month granted
Collins' Virginia Baseball Inc. exclu-
sive rights lo negotiate for a team.
Collins wants to buy a team and
move it to northern Virginia, since
the area was passed over for an
expansion team this year. The team
would play first in Washington's RFK
Stadium, then move to a new home
in the suburbs in 1998.
The stadium, with a minimum of
40,000 seals, would be built in either
Fairfax or Loudoun Counties. The
most likely site is near Washington
-^miilllll International Airport. ^|
Collins has reportedly discussed
paying up to $160 million to buy the
Houston Astros. Collins said his talks
with team owner Drayton McLane jr.
have been cordial but preliminary.
Scanlon refused comment
Wednesday on the possible deal.
McLanc has told major league base-
ball officials he wants to .^ell th':
money-losing team to Collins.
Baseball's owners, who must approve
the move, reportedly arc skeptical.
Acting baseball commissioner Bud
Sclig and other owners want Mclxan to
exhaust all possibilities lo keep the team
in Houston before they entertain a move.
No baseball team has moved since
the Washington Senators left follow-
ing the 1971 season and became the
Texas Rangers.
Mcljinc met wilh Houston's mayor
Bob Lanier earlier this week to dis-
cuss his ongoing effort to gauge fan
support for the club, a spokeswoman
for the mayor said.
Two weeks ago, McLane gave the
city two weeks to demonstrate suffi-
cient fan support lo keep the team in
Houston. He claims the team lost
more than $60 million.
Knapp declared ineligible
EVANSTON. III. (AP) -
Northwestern University declared
basketball recruit Nicholas Knapp
ineligible because of his heart condi-
tion Wednc>sday, a day after he sued
lo force his way onto the team.
Northwestern spokesman Ken
Wildes said the team physician deter-
mined Knapp could be "at significant
risk" ol having another cardiac arrest
like the one he suffered during a
Sept. 19, 1994, pickup game in
Peoria.
The decision was based on
Knapp's medical history and current
guidelines on athletes with heart
problems, the university said. Knapp
filed a lawsuit in federal court in
Chicago seeking lo force the school
to let him play and asking for unspec-
ified damages. He said a regulatory
device placed in his abdomen enables
him to play and he contends the uni-
versity should honor the commitment
he made to them after his junior year
of high school in Peoria.
Northwestern says it is honoring
its commitment — Knapp will be
allowed to attend the school on his
full scholarship even though he can't
play.

continued from page 20
Then on defense, freshman Lucia
Madajova was fouled bringing
down a rebound. Madajova was
sent to the line where she convert-
ed the two free-throws, bringing
UMass within one point.
That would be as close as the
Minutewomen would come as SKA
hit its free-throws, resulting from
UMass fouls in the waning seconds
of the game. A three-point prayer
from the fingers of freshman
laywana Bradley was answered to
conclude the game.
"We learned a lot about our
team and a lot about each other,"
O'Brien said. "We will take this
into next week and gel a lot of pos-
itive things out of it."
Next week the Minutewomen
will travel to Maine to participate
in the preseason NIT. They will
then return home Nov. 24 to face
nationally ranked and 1995 NCAA
Final Four participant Stanford at
the Mullins Center. Game-time is I
p.m.

Minutewomen fall short
By Mike Brown
CoNogian Staff
Opposite t'nd> of the spectrum col-
lided last night at the William D.
Muilins Center. when the
Massachusetts women>. basketball
team squared utt against
SKA-Samara of Russia
The inside hustle and muscle of
the Minutewomen was not enough
to overcome the outside bomb
squad of the SKA three-point shcKit-
ers. SKA drained seven from outside
the arc. baffling UMass defenders
and handing the Minutewomen a
72-70 loss in their exhibition season
opener.
"This is the fourth time we've
played a foreign team.
so I we I should have
known they were
going to I shoot three-
pointers)." UMas^
coach loanie O'Brien said. "I just
think our intensity lacked, we had
poor shot selection and there were
nerves."

BIAS Tii;/| COUIClAN
jo\jt\ji Mttch«H (11) goes up for the layup in last night's women's bas-
ketball exhibition against SKA-Samara Mitchell dished out four assists In
UMass' 72-70 loss.
Senior co-captains Melissa Gurile
and Octavia Thomas led the way for
the Minutewomen. pouring in 14
points apiece. Gurile was steady
under the basket, putting home
rebounds and draw-
ing fouls. Thomas uti-
lized her quickness,
scoring on flashy dri-
ves to the hoop and
jump-shots in the paint.
"A good move will always get the
crowd and the team into the game, a
good pass or a good shot." Thomas
said. "I felt great though. I mean I
made a lot of mental mistakes, but
overall it was OK."
The game was not as close as the
scoreboard indicated. Five first half
three pointers had SKA with a com-
fortable 4 1 -28 lead at halftime. Most
of the SKA threes were from NBA
distance.
"At first we were like, wow,' at
how far they were shooting
(three-point shots] from, but we
would get close and they would hit
them again and again." Thomas said
"They have the line a little further
back, so they had no problem shoot-
ing from where they were shooting."
Trailing by 1 ^ to start the second
half, the Minutewomen buckled
down and played a more intense
game. The defense complemented the
offense a* UMass oulscored SKA
42-31 in the second half, but to no
avail.
"We did some good things in the
-econd half. I was really disappointed
with the first half and our defensive
intensity." O'Brien said. "For whatev-
er reason they came out flat and it
got us in a hole. The second half we
fought back. I easily could have left
my starting five in there, but this
game was about learning and not
winning."
With anywhere from a six to
12-point deficit throughout the sec-
ond half of the game. UMass did
have a key opportunity to climb
above SKA. Under three minutes
remained on the clock and SKA was
sitting on a 65-54 point lead. UMass
worked the ball around the perimeter
and with one second remaining on
the shot clock, senior Tricia Hopson
nailed a three-pointer to bring the
Minutewomen within three with 2: 1 2
remaining.

Hockeys 3-0 start excites campus
By Matt Voukwr
Collegian Staff
In the period of 48 hours, the monkey jumped from
the Massachusetts hockey team's back onto its band-
wagon.
The campus community was optimistic when the
Minutemen had beat Army 6-5 in their season opener.
They looked good, yet they had
beaten Army before (twice) itK'lud-
ing their first season.
To gain real respect, they would
have to beat Merrimack. The very
same Merrimack team that had
owned Massachusetts since the
program's reinstatement and
outscored UMass 25-8 in that
span. To beat the Warriors even
once would be a big step.
A sweep?
Yeah, right. This was the team
that finished last a year ago. Dead
last. The last time UMass had won
back-to-back games, its oppo-
nents were Sacred Heart and
North Adams State.
"Sure," the skeptics said.
"They'll be good eventually, but its
only their second season in Hockey liast. They're not
ready yet."
So now two weeks into the season, while those same
skeptics are conspicuously quiet, the UMass campus
has started to get excited about the prospects for this
season as the Minutt-men swept through the Warriors
last weekend.
Coach |oe Mallen
UMass coach )oe Mallen and his players have all got-
ten positive feedback from the campus and the com-
munity after their 5-0 start.
"Professors have commented and said good job."
said senior captain |aynen Rissling. "It seems like there
is a lot more interest in the University community. It's
very encouraging."
Sophomore goaltender Brian Regan hopes that last
weekend's success translates into
more fans at Friday night's
matchup with in-state rival
UMass-Lowell.
"I think a lot of positives came
out of last weekend for our team
and our program and I think our
fan support will increase by it
also." he said.
Their lack of success against the
Warriors in the past has made the
win even sweeter for the
Minutemen.
"The whole weekend was spe-
cial. When we beat them the first
night, a lot of people thought we
stole one from Merrimack at
home," Mallen said. 'But then
when we beat them the second
night, it woke people up around
Hockey East."
"We were 0-5 going up against Merrimack going
into this past weekend and we definitely had this
grudge against them." said senior forward Sal
Manganaro. "We wanted to put our foot down at»d
make sure it stopped right there."

After the victory last weekend in Vermont, the
Massachusetts women's swimming and diving team is
hoping to make it two splashes in a row. The
Minutewomen will take on Northeastern in a dual meet at
Boyden Gym on Saturday at I p.m.
UMass came off a 140-85 victory over the Catamounts
with a well-rounded team performance, which is just what
Minutewomen coach Bob Ncwcomb will be expecting this

"This weekend everyone has to be ready." Newcomb

Myers develops into a leader for UM
By Justin C. Smith
CoMegion Staff
"Get number II!" screams
Shannon Higgins-Cirovski. head
coach of George Washington "Make
sure you stay on No, II!"
That is often the sentiment of
opposing coaches when they see that
junior Rebecca Myers, who wears
No. I I for the Massachusetts
women's soccer team, is roaming
freely on the field or making a run
down the sideline.
When Myers first came to UMass.
she wasn't quite sure of how much
playing time she would get. But since
her arrival from Marietta. Ga.. Myers
has started at the center midfield
position for the Minutewomen. The
amount of time she spent on the
pitch was a tremendous surprise to
her.
"I really didn't think I would be
playing that much." Myerv said. "I
was just so happy to be playing."
Myers made the most of her excep-
tional amount of playing time for a
freshman, as she lied for the
team-high in points scored. She
racked up nine goals and 1 1 assists
for 31 points in her first collegiate
season. The trend would continue her
sophomore year as she tied for the
team lead in scoring once again ( 1 1
goals, six assists for 28 points).
This season the co-captain missed
her first start ever at UMass with a
strained hamstring, which kept her
sidelined for nearly three weeks.
FLven with the Injury, this season she
is currently second on the team's
scorinp list with 24 points. It is not
the points that matter so much to the
standout halfback, but the passing of
the ball to her teammates that leads
to scoring chances for her team.
"I like passing the ball to my team-
mates and being creatixe." Myers
said. "We know we can play defense
and if we score, any of us, we are
going to win."
Her height (5-foot-9) makes her
presence felt in the air. adding to her
passing attack as well as controlling
the field. She uses her head not only
to create scoring chances off comer
kicks and crosses, but to intercept
long balls in her defensive end and
flicking balls on to teammates
"I love winning headers. They get
me more mentally focused." Myers
said. "When I start winning air balls.
it brings up my game everywhere."
Her prowess in the air. which can
control the entire midfield, is
acknowledged by the opptjsition and
appreciated by her coach.
"When she plays well it seems that
the team works together so much
better," said Len Tsantiris, head
coach of Connecticut. "She's very
dominant in the air and when she is
getting air balls, she can control the
midfield.
"She distributes the ball very well
and has been much more of a con-
nector, as she generates quite a bit of
their offense. Rebecca is always a
standout when we play (UMass)."
"One thing she has done this year
is play simpler in the midfield with
more small connections,"
Massachusetts coach lim Rudy said.
"She doesn't use up so much energy
because she has a lot to do out there.
She has to take goal kicks and punts,
she has to play defense against some
of the better half backs around and
then move forward. She is that spe-
cial sort of player."
Myers position is one that necessi-
tates connecting with everyone on the
field and knowing where her team-
mates are going to be. Her fellow
midfielders. Amy Powell, lulie Magid
and Sandy Shiniogaki are all juniors.

Virginia Cavaliers rise to occasion; Ohio State Buckeyes dont disappoint
Every now and then, the unthinkable happens in sports.
The underdog rises to the cKcasion and beats the favorite
in a spine tingling upset. So was the case in
ChaHottesville, \'a., last Thursday night.
The then-No 24 Virginia Cavaliers
hosted the then No. 2 Florida St.
Seminoles in a game where the 'Noles
were favored by nearly 1 8 points. Florida
St. had never lost in ACC play, a win
streak dating back to 1441 TTie outcome
was one which many did not expect.
Behind 511 total yards Ironi running
back Tiki Barber and a goal line stop on FSU's Warrick St
Dunn in the game's final play, the Cavs were able to pull
out a 55 28 win. and pulled off one of the biggest upsets
of the college football season. Not only was the win big for
UVA, but the national championship
race lost a contender as the 'Noles
dropped to No. 6 in the national polls.
For all the problems that the polls
carry with them, one would have to agree
that justice is being done at the top.
Nebraska (9-0) is the top team in the
nation for a second week. The ffuskers
are coming off a 75-14 spanking of Iowa

Shaquille is out
With barely a week gone by in the season, there
has been so much going on that it's been hard to
keep up. Trades, injuries and scab referees have
been flooding the news for the past two weeks. At
the top of list are two of the NBA's superstars,
Alonzo Mourning and Shaquille O'Neal.
As reported here in my Eastern Conference pre-
view. Mourning is now a member of the Miami
Heat. Eariy Friday morning, the Charlotte Hornets
completed a deal that sent their disgruntled star cen-
ter to the
Heat. The
terms of the
de^l -
H o r n c It
received (F)
Glen Rice,
(C) Matt
Geiger, (G)
Khalid Reeves
and a first-round pick in 1996 Heat received (C)
Alonzo Mourning, (G) Pete Myers and (F-C) LeRon
Ellis.
So. it didn't take long for General Riley to make
his mark on the Heat, did it?
Truth is. this is a good deal for both clubt. Riley
gets the big man he craves (re: Kareem, Ewing) and
the Hornets ... well ... safely escaped from a prob-
lem they started themselves.
When Charlotte signed Larry )ohnson to a 12-year,
$84 million extension, it overpaid the wrong guy. LF's
extension started the salary escalation that eventually
caused the recent lockout. Besides, what's to say
Riley will agree to Mourning's outlandish salary
demands. He's looking for $15 million per season,
with a four-year out clause. Reports indicate that the
Heat have offered $44 million for four years, which
"Zo agreed to. Hold on, there's more.
As 'Zo was looking for places to go, he was very
selective. Hornet representatives implicitly stated
Mourning vetoed deals to every team except for the
Heat and the Knicks (yes, that's right my beloved
New York Knicks). Honestly, Alonzo wanted to
become Patrick Ewing's partner and the Knicks
would have liked nothing better than to "steal" 'Zo
out of Riley's hands.
At the 1 1th hour, it almost happened as the Knicks
offered Charles Oakley and Charles Smith for
Mourning. The Hornets backed off, so the Knicks
upped the ante — Anthony Mason, John Starks aixl a
No. 1 draft pick. Still, no deal. It was no secret that
the Hornets wanted young, exciting players for their
star center and the Knicks just didn't have any to
give. All this and it's still the first week of the season.
• By now I'm sure you are all aware of Shaquille
O'Neal's injury. O'Neal was injured in a preseason
game vs. the Miami Heat. During the game Shaq was
fouled hard by (ex-Miami center) Matt Geiger.
Geiger's karate chop resulted in a technical foul, but
more importantly, broke O'Neal's thumb. The Magic
fared well without the big fella in preseason but have
struggled in their first couple games. Coach Brian
Hill has re-arranged the offense to focus around
Penny Hardaway (check out his new commercial). If
the Magic can hold the fort without O'Neal, they
should be OK. If not, the Eastern Conference should
make for an interesting race. League sources say
Shaq will be out until late December.
• Toronto Raptor rookie guard Damon Stoudamire,
booed by fans on draft day (including me), has been a
pleasant surprise. A dynamic preseason has made
Stoudamire a fan favorite up north. Despite shooting
50 percent in the Raptors first three games, Damon
has been sharp. Recording two double-doubles hasn't
hurt his image either. If Stoudamire can stay hungty.
Raptor fans can thank V.P. Isiah Thomas for sticking
to his "Build Another Detroit" gameplan.
• DCs projected All-Rookie team:
G) Damon Stoudamire (Raptors) — see above.
G) Ferry Stackhouse (76ers) — This guy is noth-
ing short of spectacular, plain and simple.
F) Kevin Gamett (T'Wolves) — Yes, straight out
of high school, this kid is right where he belongs.
He won't score big but his impact has
already been felt.

Chancellor advises SGA on plan
By AUton ConnoUy
Coll«gion Staff
Chancellor David K. Scott made
the second appearance of his two
years at the University before the
Student Government Association
last Wednesday night, where he
responded to questions on several
major issues currently facing the
campus.
The Chancellor addressed the
deans' proposal for admini>tration
restructuring and whether he endors-
es William Bulger as a candidate for
President of the University of
Massachusetts
Vice Chancellor of Student Affair<^
Tom Robinson, whose job is jeopar-

Senate rejects women s caucus
By AKion Connoly
CoHagion Staff
Despite a heated session of
debate, the Student Government
Association refused to pass a
motion Wednesday night to form
a women's caucus of non-sena-
tors. The senate also enacted a
repeal of the posting policy of
Northeast and Sylvan Area
ResideiKe Halls.
The proposal to form a
women's caucus was presented by
senator David Gafney He was
approached by a group of women
who planned on fonning a charter
for a women's caucus. Gafney
explained that it was his duty to
represent the needs of his con-
stituency by making this motion.
"Creating a women's caucus in
Ihe senate will make more repre-
sentation in the senate.' Gafney
^aid. "More people need their
voice heard, (especially! for
non-senators not represented
here."
However, many senators were
upset with the way the motion
was presented to itx senate floor
and said it did not go through the
proper channels.
Senator Lisa Chiu found serious
problems with creating a women's
caucus without consulting the
women on the senate first.
"If it's affecting women, why
weren't women in the senate
informed?" Chiu asked.
Senator Sean Loughran debated
on behalf of Gafney's proposal.
"We. as a senate boidy. need the
representation of women.'
Loughran said. "We shouldn't
need to ask that of everyone here.

Scott was asked by SGA Attorney
General lason Fields ab*)ut his view
of the deans' response to Scott's
"Strategic Thinking Document."
Scott refused to reject or endorse the
proposal.
"We need to ask what is the role of
student affairs for the next ten years."
Scott said. "Will it be more or less
important than it has been for the
last 10 years?"
However, he did show concern
over whether the deans' plan was in
the best interest of student affairs
"I'm not personally convinced the
best solution for the next 1 0 years is
to merge student affairs with academ
ic affairs," Scott said.
He added that he was not in
favor of "wholesale condensation"
of student and academic affairs.
Rather, he wants to see a structure
which focuses on "the ecology of a
living, working and learning envi-
ronment."
Scott said he welcomes all input on
his "Strategic Thinking Document"
from legitimate governing bodies at
the university. He will then use some
of these in a revised implementation
doctrine which will be crystallized in
early February.
Scott was also asked whether he
endorses candidate William Bulger as
university president.
"I have no knowledge of the
search, only what I read in the
papers." Scott said. "I don't know
him well. I have met him many times,
relatively briefly. I find him to l>e an
intellectual person who thinks
deeply. From his background. I feel
he values a high quality of learning. I
hope any candidate is asked what
they see for the future of the
University."
Scott also updated the SGA on the
resolutions made in I*)«}1 to increase
campus diversity.
"We've made progress on a lot of
issues and not on some." he said.
One of the issues resolved to
increase the amount of ALANA stu-
dents to 20 percent by Fall 19«J5 The
class for this semester enrolled 16.5
percent of ALANA students. Scott
said. He ^d he sc-es this percentage
as a better reflection of those stu-
dents prepared for college after high
school graduation. Although they
failed to meet the 20 percent goal.
Scott said, the figure is prop«irtion-
aiely correct and sfKHild not be seen
as a loss.
"A land grant university should
achieve a diversity that would
reflect diversity among the senior
class at high schools across
Massachusetts," Scott said "The
original agreement was unrealistic
What matters is not 20 percent.
What matter is how many are pre-
pared to enter college. With past
histories of discriminatiiin and lack
of support in the community, we
have exceeded it But ti> that extent,
it is not a victory
"Our next challenge is to iiKreasc
the number of college prepared stu-
dents The university has to work
with the high schools. We're working
in a responsible way for a meaningful
goal."
The Chancellor was optimistic
about meeting tlieir goal in the near
future.

a lewish women's magazine, spoke about being "Jewish
and Female: Choices and Changes in Our Lives Today" in
room 101 of the University of Massachusetts Campus
Center last night.
Schneider's speech focused on the recent changes
lewish women have made in three areas of their lives: reli-
gious life, personal relationships and community life.
The feminist movement has inspired a great push to
explore areas of lewish life that have previously been
taken for granted, Schneider said.
Historically. Jewish women have made their contribu-
tions to their faith through family and community involve-
ment: it was the men who were religious, she said.
lewish women have been taught to be smart, but not
too smart, Schneider said. They were expected to be edu-
cated and family oriented
jAMfS STANKr/COtltCIAN
Susan Weidman Schneider, editor-in-chief of the nfiaga-
zine "Lilith," addresses students in the Campus Center
last night.
In the last 20 years tremendous changes have occurred
in the religious life of lewish women, Schneider said.
Women are now leading services as rabbis, they are
cantors — someone who sings religious songs during ser-
vices — and they have their own religious groups and cel-
ebrations, she said.
"I think the presence of women rabbis has been very
thrilling for a lot of lews." Schneider said
Schneider used the birth of her two daughters as an
example of how the importance of women has changed in
the lewish faith. Her first daughter had a small naming
ceremony when she was bom. Schneider's second daugh-
ter's ceremony included blessings and prayers similar to
those always given to a male child.
Switchiiig topics, Schneider said lewish women have
not advanced much in the "personal relationship arena."
"In the lewish community there is a lack of recogni-
tion of women's power and contributions." Schneider
said.
The issue is not limited to the access women have to
different experiences; it also includes the idea of
women's experiences being acknowledged by lewish
men. she said.
Schneider gave the example of lewish men belittling or
discrediting the accomplishments of Jewish women.
Shifting topics again. Schneider said lewish women
have improved the way in which jews deal with social
problems. No longer are lews afraid to look at the nega
tive aspects of their religion, she said.
She told of how one synagogue's sisterhood put up
signs giving information about battered women's shelters
in both the women's and the men's bathrcwm stalls.
"Women can make these changes." she said.
Schneider ended her speech by thanking the feminist
movement for helping shift the attitudes of lewish people.
Everyone wants a better community, she said.
Schneider has written several books including: "lewish
and Female: Choices and Changes in Our Lives Today"
and "Intermarriage: The Challenge of Living with
Differences Between Christians and lews."
Schneider is a recipient of the B'nai B'rith Womerv-
Woman of Distinction Award and the B'nai B'rith Women
Woman of Achievement Award.

When ilu Amherst Town
Committee approved the opening of
a video store in Hadley, they said
they had no idea the store was going
to be a pornography shop specializ-
ing in X- rated videos.
At this point the committee is
extremely displeased with the video
store's presence, and are trying to get
it shut down The debate over art and
pornography has struck the town of
Amherst and is stirring up much con-
troversy.
Located just across the Calvin
Coolidge Bridge outside of Amherst,
the Adults Only Video Store claimed
the right to sell the videos to willing
customers. There are mixed opinions
on the issue, especially among those
who feel that pornography is, in fact.
art and should be accessible to all
who are interested.
At the forefront of the fight against
the video store is the Kvery Woman''-
Center. After viewing one of the
store's films which showed raw
fiH)tage of the tape of several women
by men. the center organized a rally
against the video store in Hadley. set
to take place ttxlay at 4:00 p.m.
'Ill saw the pom slide show and it
woke me up to the affects of pornog-
raphy and how it influences vio-
lence," said Abby Shaw, a student
and one of the rally organizers "It's
overlooked in our society how much
pomt>graphy affects us Some say it's
art. but it's taking art too far when
they're trying to justify rape."
At this juncture the Every
Woman's Center said they are check
ing to sec whether it would be lawful
for them to rally directly in front of
the store in the hopes of turning
away would -be customers and hail-
ing regulars from entering the store.
In the event that rallying in front
of the Adults Only Video Store is not
possible, the protestors said they will
rally on the Calvin Coolidge Bridge,

of the protest
The Kvery Woman's Center said
they want the support of both women

pasted around campus and the

been notified of the rally.
How the rally will affect business

Students continue to mourn for Rabin
By Jacob W. Michaels
Collegian Staff
For many students, the assassina-
tion of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak
Rabin last Saturday is old news, with
no more importance than something
to talk about over dinner.
However, for many Israeli and
other lewish students on campus.
Rabin's death is still an emotional
issue.
Hillel Assistant Director Yehudit
Heller, who is Israeli, said many stu-
dents are looking for someone to talk
to. She said many of them are upset
because for other people on campus,
life is going on as normal, and that
there is nothing they can do.
Even with such things as the
moment of silence at last Tuesday's
men's basketball exhibition game
against Dinamo. set up at the request
of a University alum, students are
still trying to find other ways to share
their grief.
Professor Richard Ellis, who is
lewish and has lived in Israel on
three separate occasions, said he had
the same problem on the Monday
after the assassination. He said he
was "looking for people to talk to...
People didn't understand |how I was
feeling). "
That led him to speak at a small
gathering yesterday at Hillel House,
where he and several other people
got together to speak about their feel-
ings.
Ellis. Heller, and Shmuel Bolozky.
the chair of the ludaic studies depart-
ment, talked for a brief amount of
time about what Rabin meant to
them.
Bolozky spoke of how, at first, he
hadn't had much respect for Rabin,
because his military achievements
were not of that much impt)rtance to
him. Rabin was a general during the
Six Day War. where Israel defeated
several neighboring countries.
However, he said Rabin's "greatness
comes with this fantastic stride he
made" from being a man of war to
being a man of peace.
Similarly, students have gathered
all over campus to discuss their feel-
ings about the prime minister and his
assassination. In addition to several
quickly organized discussions like the
one yesterday, students have come
together on their own for the last sev-
eral evenings at the Hillel House to
talk to other people who feel similar-
ly:
Also, students have spontaneously
left memorial candles and flowers on
the steps of the Student Union and

We should come together in support of the people we rep-

Senator Christopher Anishc believes that women do not
need added representation in the senate.
"There is no need lor a women's caucus," Amshe said.
"There is a 20-50% representation in the senate." Amshe
said. "While it is underrepresentalion. it is not severe
underrepresentation. There are other groups that have no
representation."
Speaker Dan Castellano wantcxi to make it clear that
the reason why the motion failed was because ol the way
it was brought forth, not because it supported a women's
caucus. He hopes that there will be more definitive guide-
lines on creating caucuses in the senate's future.
Chiu agreed with Castellano and wished to speak for
the ALANA caucus, which is currently the only formally
recognized caucus in the senate.
"ALANA is not against the women's caucus, just
against this motion," Chiu said.
However, senator Lawrence Piano saw the failure of the
motion as a step backwards for women in the senate.
"The senate disregarded women's issues. Period."
The senate also enacted a motion that the university
repeal the Housing Services/Residence Life
Northeast/Sylvan Area office posting policy.
The presentation to repeal the policy was made by sena-
tor William Boberg.
"Who has the right to deem what can be posted and
what can't." Boberg said.
Currently, the judgement lies solely with the Residence
Director on what can be posted. Senator Ashavan IXjyon
said there should be guidelines, leaving no possibility for
the abuse of power.
The senate also had several motions that were tabled
for one week, including motions to appiwe area govern-
ment by-laws.

ROTC pays tribute to Veterans
By Jock ForreH
Collegian Correspondent
With the Ameiiean flag already flying at half-staff in
honor of a martyred Israeli prime minister, the somber
November skies set the tone for the opening ceremony of
a 24-hour vigil commemorating U.S. veterans outside
Memorial Hall Wednesday morning.
As the final notes of the national anthem played, the
color guard made up of men and women from the univer-
sity Army and Air Force ROTC placed the American and
POW- MIA flags on either side of the Vietnam memorial
stone.
Cdt.\Maj. Brian O'Connell of the Air Force ROTC sum
moned Father (oseph Ouigley of the Newman Center to
give a benediction for the ceremonies.
Ouigley saluted all those who have died for their coun-
try and called on all Americans to remember these "gal-
lant men and women who have stepped in to succeed
their forbears." He then asked that the "Lord bless this
land, these people, and the Commonwealth."
Cdt.XLTC Teresa Baker introduced retired Lt. Col.
Robert j. Picknally. a University of Massachusetts graduate
who served in the Korean War and was successful in
recruiting many candidates for the Air Force Academy. He
reminded the future officers of their responsibility to be
the guiding hands to the men and women in their charge.
After Picknally spoke. 0"Connell read a list of 50 peo-
■ Rabin
pie. all from Massachusetts, who have not been accounted
for from the Vietnam War.
As each name was read, a member of the color guard
placed a white carnation at the foot of the memorial
stone. With that, the 24-hour vigil began. Through the
rest of Wednesday and all through the bone-chilling night
cadets stood guard by the flags and the Memorial.
Dusty Houser, director of kical relations for Sen. |ohn
F. Kerry, attended both days of ceremonies. Houser. like
Kerry, is a Vietnam veteran.
Houser said that normalization with Vietnam will only
help in the on-going attempts to account for the missing
service-persons. He said Kerry, who co-chaired a Senate
sub-committee investigating the status of the POW-MIA
search, remains committed to the issue.
As the wind continued ripping across campus yesterday
morning, the vigil came to a close. At exactly 10:30 a.m..
two A- 10 fighter jets from the Air National Guard at
Barnes Airpwrt in Westfield streaked low over the crowd
of spectators, service persons, and ofPicials assembled out-
side Memorial Hall.
The closing speech was made by retired Air Force Col.
Thomas Carhart of Amherst. Carhart flew P-38 Fighter
planes in World War II. and later flew F-4 fighter jets in
Korea. In the 19b0"s. Carhart was a professor of
Aerospace Studies at UMass.
The solemn music of "Taps" Tillered through the crowd
as the ceremony ended.

Even as the assassination fades
into other news, groups are working
to make sure Rabin and his cause are
not forgotten. A major rally is being
planned in Boston's Copley Square

BOSTON (API — Parents who are
behind on their child support pay-
ments could find their privileges lo
be behind the wheel revoked under a
bill unveiled by Gov. William Weld
on Wednesday.
The bill would give the
Department of Revenue the power to
suspend drivers' licenses for nonpay-
ment of child support.
Currently, the IX)R can only stop
parents In arrears from renewing
their licenses.
"If you are going to drive your own
children to financial ruin, then you're
not going to be joyriding around this
state." WeW said.
The legislation has yet to be filed,
but Revenue Commissioner Mitchell
Adams said the proposal "would give
us a lot more leverage in getting
delinquents lo pay up."
Meanwhile, the Weld administra-
tion also has released a fifth edition
of its "Ten Most Wanted" ftoster that
lists the state's worst child support
scofflaws. who owe a total of
$364,000. The posters are being dis-
tributed slate wide and are going up
in buses and subway trains around
Boston.
Critics, like divoa-ed father Patrick
Henry Hynn, say the posters unneces-
sarily vilify fathers Flynn, who has
joint legal but rtot physical custody of
his 8-year-old son, is legislative direc-
tor of a group called the Coalition for
the Preservation of Fatherhood.
The 52-year-old from Peabody said
the posters arc a public relations gim-
mick that overshadow strongarm tac-
tics being used by DOR to collect
money from men who can't afford to
pay out what the courts have
ordered.

The cop out of Colin Powell
What do Colin Powell and the sport of hockey
have in common?
No balls.
The announcement came Wednesday after-
noon from a tacky motel ballroom in Virginia. Powell
solemnly stood at a podium flanked by his wife, while
members of his family sat quietly in the crowd surrounded
by all the usual suspects of the media carrion.
Powell just said no.
He posed and blubbered, made vague allusions about
his unwillingness to give up his privacy, and his inability
10 hear the "call." He probably couldn't
hear it over the din of the cash register, as
his book goes into multiple printings.
After all of the coy pandering and delib-
erate avoidance, this entire episode seems
hke little more than a clever ruse precisely
timed to boost sales. Presidency, my ass.
Backing away from a fight you can't win
is smart, backing away fnjm a fight you cjn
win is gutless. Backing away from a fight
that's not only winnable but that you start-
ed in the first place is despicable.
I never thought Powell was that great of
a prospect. He had no platform, no stand and no issues.
What upsets me is that he started all of this. No one just
finds themselves in the middle of a campaign. Media
exposure alone doesn't make you a prospect. If that were
the case. Howard Stem and Kato Kaelin would be the
next pair of runners. He had to have started this some-
how, and once his little book tour was finished, so was his
pseudo-campaign, and the media ate it up He was
Geppetto to the tneir Pirwcchio.
But I never considered him a deceitful hack.
Until now.
This cretin had the nerve lo stand in front of the
entire world and honestly try and convince people thai
he suddenly realized he and his family's privacy would
be at stake. Where has he been? Of course privacy is at
stake. If you're vying lo become leader of an entire
country, people lend lo recognize you on sight. I find a
bit hard to believe that someone who's got their grin-
ning mug plastered in every bookstore window from
here to Hawaii is really worried about giving up his pri-
vacy.
If Powdl can honestly suggest that after having served
in the White House, the privacy issue has just occurred lo
him recently, then he qualifies as too stupid to be a seri-
ous candidate anyway.
He came across like an obnoxious magician at the press
conference, taking delight in having proved Abe Lincoln
right and ftxjicd all of ihc people some of the lime by dup-
ing us into picking the wrong card.

A TEAM effort to help youth
Most people know what causes youth violence;
troubles at home, dangerous schools and
neighborhoods, the lack of role models, the
lack of jobs, and an overall lo.ss of hope.
Unfortunately, the list of solutions to this
ever-increasing problem is much shorter. After spend-
ing three summers coordinating the Governor's
Summer |ob Hunt program through the Colorado
Depanmeni of Labor. I have realized the importance
of providing young people a positive outlet in which lo
expend their energy.
Once in a while, we are given the rare opporiunity to
witness individuals working in con-
cert with one another with the goal —^—^—^^
of improving the lives of youth.
Such is the case in Greenfield,
Mass.. where local teens, communi-
ty and business leaders are joining
hands in the battle against youth
violence.
The Teen Empowerment And
Mediation (TEAM) program, spon-
sored by Franklin Mediation Service
and funded by a grant from the
Governor's Alliance Against Drugs,
is demonstrating to teens, parents
and community members how to
deal with conflict by non-violent
means.
The TEAM program is utilizing
an integrated approach to provide
Greenfield teens a safe, confideniial place to resolve
their problems. The program has enabled teens to
focus their energy in a more positive way. thus decreas-
ing youth restlessness and the community problems
associated with it.
The success of the TEAM program may be alirib-
utcd to the fact that it has been designed both for and
with Greenfield youth. Teen mediators are trained to
handle disputes that arise between youth, teachers
and parents, ultimately shifting the focus of attention
from the problem itself to developing cooperative
solutions.
The program is the first in the nation to take the
kind of mediation techniques already used in many
schools out on lo the streets, according to program
coordinator Court Dorsey.
As we arc finding, the best deterrent for youth vio-
lence is a hope for the future. Not just an economic
hope, but a hope and faith in the meaningfulness of
life.
All community members, including UMass students
and faculty, can contribute by assisting in the educa-
tion and empowerment of young people, thus provid-
ing hope and decreasing the overwhelming sense of
despair.
Presently. 20 members of the UMass community are
lending their hand to the TEAM effort as part of the
Chancellor's Civility Grant for Community Conflict
The program has
enabled teens to focus
their energy in a more
positive way, thus
decreasing youth rest-
lessness and the com-
munity problems asso-
ciated with it.

Resolution.
These individuals, along with Leda Cooks (a pro-
fessor in the Communications depariment) and loan
Mikalson (a graduate student in the School of
Education Social lustice Program), are demonstrat-
ing the college enthusiasm indicative of the UMass
campus by brainstorming for funds from both within
and outside the Town of Greenfield. Through their
effort and support, these students are helping to
facilitate growth in the TEAM program, thus
enabling it to become a viable service within the
community.
lennifer Raitt, a UMass stu-
dent and member of the campus
contingency, hopes to see
TEAM hold its ground, eventu-
ally becoming so strong that
they only need their own to
exist.
However, the TEAM program
presently requires outside assis-
tance to achieve this goal.
According to Rain. "Teen
empowerment programs such as
these, if they are to be success-
ful, must be sustained emotion-
ally as well as financially. The
benefit to youth relies upon a
commitment from the rest of
society."
This is where the entire UMass
community comes into play.
Through educational outreach and fundraising, we
loo can do our part to curb teen violence and assist in
providing youth a hope for the future. There will be
an upcoming tag sale with an Amherst "drop site"
where donations and proceeds will benefit the TEAM
program (please follow the Collegian for further
notice).
So far. the TEAM project has generated a broad
base of community support. We would like to see
this support extend into UMass. Amherst and
beyond.
. Throughout this process, we will all be doing our
part to demonstrate to teens that there exist more
positive means of conflict resolution. Programs like
informal mediation will prove that the more young
people can do for their community, the less animosi-
ty will occur between youth and local business inter-
ests. Dorsey calls this the process of "social hygiene."
and would like to see these skills transcend the
streets and schoolyard, ultimately finding a place at
home.
Traditionally, support for these practical, preventa-
tive programs has been sadly deficient. As part of the
University community, we need to recognize the power
we have as role models, and find time to spend encour-
aging youth.

Opinion/Editorial
bci you can see him mouth the word "Suckers."
The news had been filled all day with reaction from
commentators, newscasters, talk show hosts and some
boorish slob who used to know Powell and hadn't seen
him since 1954. In a campaign full of sham and deceit,
this guys two cents are probably worth about as much as
anybody's.
The one who's probably the happiest about the news is
Bob Dole. I'm not sure, but I think I heard him cheering
all the way from Washington. Several unconfirmed
rumors go so far as to suggest he actually threw a sheet of
cardboard onto the floor of the Senate
chamber and actually breakdanced. Word
is the Senator is resting comfortably and is
expected to make a full recovery soon.
With Powell taking a back seat. Dole has
a more solid grasp on the lead in the
Republican race, and at this point it
appears he'd have lo do something incredi-
bly stupid in order to lose it. Most of the
remaining GOP candidates are either
dreadfully uncharismatic or woefully
unknown, except for Pat Buchanan, who's
more frightening than feasible.
So. with the General gone. I have a few suggestions for
military figures who would fill the void nicely, and who
might even stick around until it's all over.
Colonel Klink. Colonel Mustard. Captain Kirk. Captain
Siubing. Popeye the Sailor. The Captain and Tenille
(Tenille would be VP. of course). Captain Trips.
Commander USA. Captain Marvel. Captain Lou Albano
and Captain Crunch All of them would make fine
replacements, and as far as I know, none of them are
retired, so they wouldn't look quite as out of place wear-
ing their uniforms to press conferences and imerviews as
Powell did. The game's over. Colin, take off the jersey,
huh?
So, why am I so upset? Why should I care if this duplic-
itous, weasel-like, sleighi-of-word artist runs or not?
Because no one made him lead us on. No one begged him
to run for president until he had made his intentions clear.
He duped a country, and I for one. don't enjoy feeling
fooled. If he had been anywhere near a television, newspa-
per or radio, he would have had to know that mostly
everyone was convinced he was about to run. If he had
wanted to shut down the rumor mill, he should have
poured sand in it right then and there, but he didn't. He
winked, smirkc-d. threw fuel on the fire, and then bitched
about nearly getting burned.
There are just certain things you don't do if you want to
be taken seriously. You don't cry wolf, you don't suit up if
you're not going to play, and you don't put on a condom
if you're not going to... well you know. Powell did them
all. and personally I'm tired of him. Sit down. Colin. Your
1 5 minutes are up.

The practical logic of the '96 election
Peter
Orvetti
Wednesday was a good day for Sen. Bob Dole,
but an even better one for President Bill Clinton.
In fact. Clinton now seems closer to re-election than he
has since the start of his term.
Gen. Colin L. Powell's withdrawal from a race he never
even entered has thrust Dole back into the frontrunner slot.
Dole scored a double-coup on Wednesday, when he also
received the endorsement of New Hampshire Governor
Steve Merrill, an extremely popular, and influential.
Republican. This means that, unless he is discovered to have
sold crack to handicapped orphans to help finance Saddam
Hussein. Dole is virtually assured of winning
New Hampshire's February primary.
The two-month Powell "candidacy" dam-
aged Dole, possibly beyond recovery. He fell
badly in the polls, and was burned by hits
from his three of his strongest challengers.
Phil Gramm. Pat Buchanan and Lamar Alexander. Now.
Dole will continue on. with nine nondescript opponents nip-
ping at his heels. He will win in New Hampshire, but only
by stumbling across the threshold. Dole vnll be on his way
to the GOP nomination, but still 20 points behind Clinton.
It was not supposed to turn out this way. A week ago.
Powell was leaning toward running, and was even putting a
campaign together. He was willing to look past the objec-
tions of his wife. Alma Powell. It is not too much of a
stretch to say that if that right-wing Israeli punk had missed
his shot at Yitzhak Rabin last weekend, Powell's Wednesday
announcement would have been quite diffea-nt.
Suddenly. Alma's fears of assassination were not so fan-
tastic. Powell, a faiHy liberal black man becoming a seri-
ous contender in an increasingly bigoted Republican
Party, might have wound up a martyr, not a hero. The
General made a dignified retreat.
Some would argue that Powell's place is greater now;
he looked at a chance to have the presidency, and walked
away. But the effect on his newly-adopted GOP will be
disastrous. Powell will not run for vice-president; he
doubts he will even campaign for the nominee. Who will
Dole get now? Bill Weld?
The night before Powell's announcement, the
Democratic Party made some substantial wins. In every
single major state referendum in the country, the more
progressive side won. And the results of CityVote, a
national, non-binding primary on the presidential race that
was held in 1 8 cities, gave Clinton a huge victory. Clinton
had more than twice as many votes as his nearest n'val —
Colin Powell. Dole received only about 10 percent.
In Kentucky. Lt. Gov. Paul Patton was elected governor
in an upset victory. Patlon's whole campaign was based
on criticism of Bob Dole. Phil Gramm. and Newt
Gingrich.
And Gingrich is rightly at the center of
all of this. Twelve months ago. as frustrat-
ed in 1 994 as they had been in 1 992. the
electorate threw out the party in power.
The usually- savvy Gingrich incorrectly
interpreted this as a show of wide support for his policies.
In the past. Gingrich has shown that he does not let his
ideology stand in the way of practical politics. He has
modified positions, and even lied about his intentions.
(Remember his and Clinton's joint proposal for a commis-
sion on campaign reform? Thai's just getting done now,
and in a way that satisfies no one.) But Gingrich is an ide-
ologue, and a true believer in the economic policies he
preaches.
That is why it is surprising to see him so doggedly
putting ideology first on the Medicare issue. I would have
thought Gingrich was too bright lo actually try to enact
the policy he believes in. On Medicare, Gingrich is pro-
ceeding mathematically, trying to create a paradigm in
which economic policy can be calculated like the tides or
the orbit of the planets — all logic, no pragmatism.
Newt Gingrich is the most important player in Bill
Clinton's re-election campaign CJingrich would be wise
to remember a Republican of the past who also thought
economic policy could be set by pure science: President
Herbert Hoover.

Letters to the Editor
What happened to
"Bruno"?
To the Editor:
As a fifth year senior, I have been
reading the Collegian for several
years now, and have become partic-
ularly fond of following C.
Baldwins comic "Bruno." Until
recently. "Bruno" was a daily strip
with a definite story line. This
semester, however, she has been
appearing only sporadically, and the
story line has become choppy and
hard to follow. Then yesterday, a
strip was published which I recog-
nize from last year. Is this because
C. Baldwin has stopped submitting
to you regularly, or because the
Collegian is not publishing the new
"Bruno" every day? If it is the latter.
I would appreciate being able to
read Bruno daily again on the
Collegian comics page, as I cannot
find her in any other valley newspa-
per. Please bring her back.

Flyers send out
important message
To the Editor:
I am writing in response to an arti-
cle written by Wendy Darling printed
in the Nov. Jrd edition of the
Collegian, "Living in fear not the
answer." As a member of Riot Grrrls,
I feel the need to respond to the
writer's attack on a flyer which was
produced and distributed by our
organization. The purpose of this
Hyer is lo make female students on
this campus aware of ways to protect
themselves.
This flyer was intended to edu-
cate, not frighten. Ms. Darling
seems to already be aware of several
ways to stay safe as a woman on
campus, yet many other women do
not. Being safe does not mean living
in fear. It means knowing that
women are being assaulted on this
campus, but there are certain ways
to help prevent this from happening
to you.
I have only lived on campus for
three semesters. Still, I have heard
accounts of men walking into
women's rooms in the middle of the
night, sometimes attacking them,
other times just falling asleep on the
floor. I have read police logs in the
Collegian of reported rapes and I
have heard of others that have gone
unreported. I have heard of women
who have been stalked. I have wit-
nessed a woman being physically
threatened by a boyfriend and then
turning away from help. But I am not
afraid.
I know that there are things that I
can do to keep myself safe. I call the
escort service when I need to walk at
night, or I take the library shuttle.
When I visit male friends down the
hall in the dorm, I ask them to keep
their doors open. I don't go out and
get drunk or stoned and find myself
losing control of my situation. I lock
my door when I go to sleep at night.
Fortunately, I have had to deal with
nothing more than harrassing phone
calls.
The flyer also lists ways to prepare
for an actual attack as well. Carrying
mace, knowing self defense, just
being able to scream "fire" not
"help" really loudly. Knowing that
you are prepared for anything is
cause for feelings of empowerment
not fear.
None of my male friends are
insulted, either, by the flyer or my
own precautions. The creator of this
flyer did not intend to insult either.
In fact, the suggestion to make a
point about being careful when visit-
ing the guys down the hall came
straight from the sour: the guys
down her hall.
And we do not present these meth-
ods as an answer. The answer will be
when we find a way to slop these
attacks from happening. No, a
woman cannot be too careful these
days, but we do not have to live in
fear.

Poem hypocritical
and full of igno-
rance
To the Editor:
I am writing in response to the poem
titled "Gringo" by |uan lose Chacon.
Why was this poem allowed to be in
the Multicultural Affairs category? It
clearly defies the entire purpose for
multiculturalism and instead sends out
an ignorant, di.scriminate, hate message
lo all white Caucasians. For the
non-speaking Spanish population, the
entire poem was dedicated to describ-
ing how the "white" population has
oppressed, suppressed, killed, robbed,
etc. the Spanish culture and people.
For example, he states "Por que
cres gringo, y escupes tu poder mate-
nalista en mis pomulos indigenas."
He is saying because you are "gringo"
(or American) you spit your material-
istic power in my native face. He is
basically implying that every
American is materialistic and is to
blame for this type of behavior.
This is continually done through-
out the poem. One statement trans-
lated into "you have never realized
that you're 'gringo.' Maybe not in
your factions, but in your thoughts
and trying to help, you (the gringo)
destroy the community." Here is a
clear example of putting the whole
population at fault. These types of
broad, ignorant statements are some
of the many he uses to generalize the
whole population.
He finishes his weak attempt at a
successful poem with this statement
— "Maldito Gringo American
Yankee Green Beret asesino." Please,
you say you are the one being dis-
cnminated and oppressed against and
yet you write in statement this igno-
rant, rude, and overall hypocritical.
To conclude, writing this poem in
Spanish may have disguised your
Ignorance and hate to the majority
that don't understand your language,
but it isn't taken lightly by the
Spanish-speaking American
Caucasian population on campus.

The life and crimes of General Yitzhak Rabin
Hussein
Ibish
Yitzhak Rabin is dead Murdered Killed b\ a fellow
Israeli, a supporter of the right-wing >etiler move-
ment.
The unwitting and unwilling instrument of justice, law
student 'Nigal Aniii was a young man driven over the edge
by the twisted ideology that Rabin spent his whole lite
enforcing and developing.
Now. Yitzhak Rabin has been elevated to the status of a
secular saint, a sort of military Mother Teressa.
The truth is. nf course,
that Rabin was a monster, a
war criminal. ethnic
cleaned, mass murderer.
diid terroiisl. Radko Mladic
is little more than a budding
Yitzhak Rabin
A complete accounting of Rabin's crimes from 194*1
until last Saturday wuuld fill many volumes. A few small
vignets. then troni this e\trai>rdinary career.
Rabin cut his teeth on murder and made his name as a
soldier in the war of conquest in 1948. when the minority
European |ewi-h Nctilets cstubli^hed the Zionist Mate by
expelling most of the indigenous .Arab population, almost
one million people.
The brash and bright young officer. Lt. Colonel Yitzhak
Rabin was personally rcNptmsible for one of the most
ruthless and systematic expulsions. As OC operations for
Operation Dani in |ul\. I94K. Rabin urdered and oversaw
the slaughter and expulsion of \irluall> the entire popula-
tions of the adjacent Palestinian cities of Lydda and
Ramleh.
On |ul> II. 1948. Moshe Dayan. under Rabin's com-
mand, led a jeep Lomniando column through the city of
Lydda. "with rifles. Stens. and machine guns blazing."
shooting down every living thing in the streets. As the
smoke cleared, over 250 Palestinian civilians lay dead in
the streets, and scores of unarmed detainees were massa-
cred by Rabin's troops in the church and mosque com-
pounds in the city center.
Even before the last shots of the massacre were fired.
Rabin issued the order for ethnic cleansing: "I. The
inhabitants of Lydda must be expelled quickly without
attention to age. They should be directed toward Beit
Nabala >'iftah must dclcrniinc the method and inform
Dani HO atid 8th Brigade HU 2. Imp!enieiii immediate-
ly. Signed: Yil/hak R.ibin." The same order was sent for
Ramleh.
Thus it was that over 100,000 Palestinians were dri-
ven from their homes, stateless refugees to this very day.
ethnically cleansed to make way for more European set-
tlers.
Rabin's troops systematically kx>ted the towns of Lydda
and Ramleh. and stripped their victims of ptwsessions as
they drt)ve them Irom their homes. Hundieds died under
the bla/ing |une sun. espetialK the children, from exhaus-
tion, disease and thirst. Rabin offered no water lo his vic-
tims.
Israeli aaheolt>gis| Shmaryu Guttman remembered the
ethnic cleansing lhu«: "A multitude of inhabitants walked
one after another. Women walked burdened with pack-
ages and sacks on their heads. Mothers draggc-d children
after them... Occasionally, warning shots were heard...
Occasionally, you encountered a piercing liK)k from one of
the youngsters in the column and the kK)k said: 'We have
not yet surrendered. We shall return to fight you."
Guttman said the scene smacked of "the exile of Israel at
Roman hands."
This was Yitzhak Rubin's contribution to Israel's "War
of Independence." mass murder and ethnic cleansing of
the most brutal variety. Perhaps it was from this time on
that he was ear marked as a possible future Prime
Minister of the State of Israel, having shown all the ness-
esary qualities.
Over the years Rabin rose through the ranks of the
Israeli Defense Force to become Chief of Staff in 1 964. In
I%7. Rabin, along with Prime Minister Levi lishkol and
Defense Minister Moshe Dayan. planed the war in which
Israel would conquer the last remaining portions of
Palestine.
The 1967 war completed the colonial disaster that
Zionism. Israel, and Rabin were visiting on the Palestinian
people. After the new conquests, the ethnic cleansing
began anew.
In Jerusalem. Rabin's troops set up ficKidlights around
the Haram Ash Sharif, gave the residents of the Moghrabi
Quarter three hours to get out of their homes, and then
bulldozed the entire neighlK>rh(.Hxi.
The inhabitants of. among mam villages. Beit Nuba.
Imwas. Oalquilya. Beit Awa. Beit Mersin and \a\\i were
driven across the Jordan, before their homes enjoyed
their appointment with Rabin's bulldozers. In all.
almost '500.000 Arabs were expelled from the newlv
occupied territories by Rabin's army following the 1967
war.
Americans were not spared by Rabin either in 1967. as
he oversaw the nottmous attack on the liSS Liberty, a
United States Navy observation ship strafed by Rabin's
airforce in order to prevent monitoring vif Israeli actions
in the war. 54 American sailors were killed and 171
wounded in the massacre.
Credible accounts now confirm long alleged reports of
the use of summary executions of thousands of Egyptian
POWs by Rabin's triK)ps in 1967. It is also certain that
Rabin was aware of these mass murders and condoned
them since he was provided with full inlonnalion at the
time by his own investigators and failed to discipline any
subt>rdinates. Some Israeli historians have suggested that
Israeli massacres of POWs were so widespread in the
1967 war that it constituted an unofficial goveniment pol
ic-y.
In 1974. Rabin became the Prime Minster of Israel,
and oversaw a series of terrorist actions against
numerous targets in the Arab world. The attacks
included regular shellings and bombings of south
Lebanon, a nation thai would often feel the wrath of
Rabin.
In one small example of this kind of terrorism, in
Aitroun Rabin's mortars hit a schiH)l yard, killing 9 chil
dren aged between 4 and 12. Sci>res of Lebanese civilians
were murdered by Rabin's army in I97S alone. An upris
ing of Palestinian civilians in 1976 was put down, at
Rabin's orders, by a shool Ick kill p»>licy. a warm up for
his later role in violently suppressing the Intifada in the
1980s.
Rabin expanded and developed the illegal Israeli settle
■nents throughout the occupied territories and ran an
apartheid system in which people lived under different
sets of laws according to their race.
During this period. Rubin also pushed forwurd with
Israel's close alliance with its fellow apartheid stale. Stiulh
Africa. Under Rabin, the two continued their project of
jointly developing nuclear weapons, and shiiring intelligence.
Rubin was brought down in disgrace after it emerged in
1977 that he had maintained illegal bunk accounts in the
United States under his wife's name in violation of Israel's
currency laws. He lied about the amounts of money
involved and was generally shown to have behaved like a
petty pilferer.
In 1987. Rabin was brought back into government as
Defense Minister in the "national unity" Labor/Likud
coalition. In this capacity. Rabin instituted the "Iron
Fist" policy on South Lebanon, promising massive retali-
ations against any Lebanese who dared lo resist his
forces of occupation. Dozens of bombing raids, mass
killings, and wanton destruction of homes in South
Lebanon characterized this period of Rabin's
death-dealing.
But above all. this part of Rabin's "career" will be
remembered as the days of the Intifada, the Palestinian
uprising in which the youth of the occupied territories
rose up and challenged the colonialism, racism, occupa-
tion and apartheid under which they lived. With riKks
and stones, oidinury Palestinians tiKik to the streets to
battle Rabin's battle hardened, ultra-well -equipped
army, one of the most heroic anti -colonial uprisings this
century. But most of the Intifada was concerned with
efforts of non cooperation, civil disobedience, and
non- violent resistance.
Rabin's savagery was stunning In response to the pop-
ular revolt. Rabin oversaw the shiHiting of hundreds of
unarmed Palestinian denionstratins. many of them chil
dren The use of toxic gas by Rabin's forces also killed
numerous innocents at that time, particularly by inducing
miscarriages in dozens of cases.
Beyond this. Rabin issued his ixnorious "broken bones"
policy in which Israeli soldiers were ordered to catch any
Palestinian demonstrators and break either their legs or
their hands
As his colleague. Shimon Peres told a prominent Israeli
newspaper. "Yitzhak Rabin intends for the Israeli army to
intensify the use of violence and body beating, which is
exemplified by the breaking of limbs, in order to quell the
demonstratiiuis."
Rubin insisted to Israelis that his brutal methods of
"force, might, and beatings" would subdue the unruly
Arab rabble and put the Palestinians back in their
place. Mussucre followed massacre, beatings were
inflicted one after another Rubin and the Israeli army
slv>pped at nothing in their efforts to break the will of
the occupied people of Palestine. Death squuds con
ducted summary exLculions. torture reached new
heights, olive and citrus groves were upiooted whole
sale, and Rabin's troops even buried a number of
Palestinian youths alive.
One of the most important characteristics of the sup-
pressiiin of the Intifada under Rubin was the use of collec-
tive punishments, holding whole villages or families to
account. Villages were routinely closed, and people
starved and deprived of work, and homes summarily bull
dozed.
The atrocities Rabin supervised on a daily basis during
the Intifada require an encyclopedia lo chronicle
However, bi-twcvn IX-cember 1987 and April 1990. over
1.500 unarmed Palestinian civilians had been killed by the
Rabin's anny. 150.000 were placed in prison or in con
centrulion camps 86.000 were injured and maimed for
life. 1.228 homes were demolishi-d. and 140.000 fruit and
olive trees upri.K>ted All in the service of one of the most
oppressive, racist occupations in history. All oven.een by
Yitzhak Rabin.
As his brutal methods failed to achieve the aim of
pacifying the colonized Palestinians. Rubin turned to
international terrorism in a desperate attempt lo attempt
turn the tide One of the Palestine Liberation
Organization's senior leaders. Khalil ul Wazir, also
known as Abu lihad. was believed by Rabin and his
cohorts to be ciKirdinating the resistance activities in the
iKcupied territories.
On April 16. 1988. Rubin sent u hit squad of Israeli
terrorists to murder Ahu lihad in Tunisia. After murder
ing a gardener and two guards. Rubin's terrorists
slaughtered Abu lihad in the presence of his wife and
daughter.
Alas for Rabin and Israel, even this desperate act of
international terrorism failed to kill the Intifada, and in
fact even strengthened it
During the same period. Rubin was also heavily
involved in repeated bombings, attacks and killings in
south Lebanon, and also acts of international lerrt)rism
such as the kidnapping and taking hostage into Israel of
do/ens of l.ebiinese including Sheikh Abdul Karim Obeid.
In 1992. Rabin once again became Prime Minister of
the State of Isruel. One of his first major actions wus to
luunch another invusion of Lebanon, as Rubin was deter-
mined to try to end Lebanese resistance to Israeli occupa-
tion triKips in the south.
Rabins attack on south Lebanon was explicitly
designed, as Rabin was the first to admit, to drive civilians
away from their homes and create hundreds of thousands
of refugee's. Hundreds were killed and wave after wave of
Lebanese civilians were driven north by the onrushing
Israeli assault.
Once again, however. Rabin's preferred method of bru-
tally suppressing occupied peoples failed to pacify the
area. South Lebanon ri-mains a burial ground for occupy-
ing Israeli trk>ops.
Rabin also inaugurated his new administration by radi-
cally expanding on Israel's long standing policy of
expelling Palestinians who ri>se to leadership positions or
became too accomplished or prominent for the iKCupier's
tastes Rabin had SOO Palestinian men. mostly respected
professionals, rounded up in the middle of the night,
blindfolded, put onto trucks and dumped on an isolated
hill in South Lebanon.
When these men tried to walk back to their homes in
Palestine. Rabin's soldiers shot at and shelled them. For
months they languished on that hilltop, freezing and starv-
ing, sustained only by the kindness of local Lebanese vil-
lagers who brought food and blankets. These men.
expelled from their homeland by N'itzhak Rabin, left to rot
on a barren and forsaken hilltop, stood as living
metaphors for the geiHrralized condition of Palestinians
afier Zionism
Rabin's reputation as a "peacemaker." for which he is
currently Ix-ing mourned, comes ftbout due to his recent
series of agreements with Yasser Arafat As Israel Shahak
pointed oul in u speech ul UMass lust year, the "peace
accords" are based on Rabin's new understanding that his
old approach of directly ruling the Palestinian towns and
cities was inefficient. Apparently he was learning in his
old age
Instead, what Rabin proposed and Arafat accepted
was that Israeli IriKtps should withdraw from .some pop-
ulated ureas, while retaining full sovereignty and effec-
tive control, and that Palestinians should be made to
police themselves He was. to use Zygmunt Bauman's
admirable phra.se. "soliciting the cooperation of the vic-
tims."
Time and again Rabin assured Israelis that there
would be "no withdrawal from an inch of territory,"
and above all "no Palestinian state." And indeed, with-
drawal and statehood do not come into the plan
which, although celebrated in the west, is nothing
more than a Palestinian enforced Israeli occupation.
No aspect of the accords is worth preserving, since
they have only served to make matters worse in every
respect for ordinary Palestinians, as Rabin always
intended.
In these accords. Rabin remained true to his principles
und modus operandi of colonialism and violently enforced
racist occupation The "peacemaker" was. as much as he
had ever been, a war monger
The irony is that his own life's work led ineluctably to
his killing, his assassin an Inevitable product of the nation
he created, steeped in the ideology to which Rabin dedi-
cali-d his life The 75 year old patria'-ch spent his life cre-
ating the conditions that gave birth to the 27-year-old
fanatic. Amir killed Rabin. Israel killed Rabin. Rabin
killed Rabin.
They tell us now that Rabin was a great man. If this is
so. then surely we must admit that he was. as they say,
wickedly great
We will never really know the exact number of inno-
cents slaughtered by Yitzhak Rabin, how many children
blown to pieces, how many families exiled, how many
bones shattered, how many lives destroyed But his vic-
tims number, as we have so Imptilitely reminded everyone,
in the thousands, hundreds of thousands, and milliims.
These human beings, their lives und suffering, their
pain and blood, cannot be forgotten or dismissed to
make way for a convenient myth of "Rabin the
Peacemaker."
Their souls cry out for justice.

Rwanda: a result of colonialism
News .Analysis
By Syed AAohammed Ali Razo
Collegian Sloff
Death dawned on the rich agricul-
ture fields of Rwanda on the 6th of
April 1994. The frenzy of ethnic
fundamentalism, that engulfed
Rwanda left at least seven percent of
the population dead und unother
forty percent in refugee cumps. It
has left a
nation at
the cross
roads ot survival, where the options
available are of sorrow, poverty and
hatred.
The vengeance and force of evil
that the youth of Rwanda has been
exposed to is a nightmare for the
"civilized wt)rld." For u Western
observer the cause is simple, ethnic
rivalry. But is it?
The bitter truth of Rwanda is far
more complicated then the web of a
spider. The reality is. that in the case
of Rwanda, even the spider has lost
its way out. To make it very precise
and simple, the Rwandans were set
up. They were set up by the inability
and abuse of an ignorant colonial
nation The ethnic fundamentalism
which exists in Rwanda today was
started centuries ago by the imperial-
ists.
In 1884 85 the conference of
Berlin "decided" that this part of
Africa would be part of the German
|{asl African Empire After the defeat
of the Germans in WWI. the colony
was "handed" over to Belgian occu-
piers. It was the colonial masters who
started the discriminutit>n of Hutus.
The masters preferred Tutsis over the
Hutus. hence sowing the seed of
hatred.
In 1962. when the Belgian occu-
piers finally decided lo leave, a state
of chaos followed. The Hutus burn-
ing with ethnic fervor lt)ok the gov-
ernment of Rwanda while equally
fundamental Tutsis took charge of
Burundi. There is no need to mention
what happened next; the filthy brand
of Western politics had left a nation
in strife.
There were massacres, coups.
guerilla wars and attempts to oust
each others' governments, on the
part of both Rwanda and Burundi.
The politics uf death and devastation
had dragged Rwanda into the valley
of death. To make matters worst, in
1975 General luvenal Habyarimana
seized control of Rwanda. He perse-
cuted the Tutsis to the extreme.
In 1990. the Tutsis under the ban-
ner of the Rwandese Patriotic front
started a civil war. Finally, in 1995
Habyarimana realized the problems
at hand and lifted the restrictions on
the Tutsis. The situation was definite-
ly about to improve on the dawn of
April the 6th. until the plane of
Habyarimana and the President of
Burundi wus shot down.
The fires of centuries of discrimi-
nation and exploitation are still alive
in the hearts of th« Sons of Africa.
The "civilized world" should do
something about it. Otherwise, who
knows, when the next time the lava
of ethnic fundamentalism flows in
Africa it just might be headed for the
West.

young musicians who have won inicmational acclaim
for their musical interpretation. Praised lor their bril-
liance, imagination, versatility and richness of sound,
the group was founded by harpsichordist and artistic

Marley- influenced Harper hits valley
Acoustic rock & folk to he featured off Fight For Your Mind
By Jason Flax
Collegian Sloff
Ben Harper will be coming to Pearl Street tonight in
support of his new album. Fight For Your Mind. Harper
plays with an acoustic slide technique and sings political
as well as introspective charged lyrics, giving his music a
folk sound that seems somewhat Bob Marley-influenced.
This isn't surprising considering. Harper, who comes from
The Inland Empire area of California, sites Marley as his
main influence.
After receiving many rave reviews for his previous
album Welcome To The Cruel World. Harper has returned
with the new Fight For Your Mind, which he co-produced
with IP. Plunicr. On his newest relea.sc. Harper and his
extremely talented band, the Innocent Criminals, play an
eclectic bunch of songs thai range anywhere from reggae,
folk, hip hop to downright funky music.
During the first song "Oppression." Harper sings some
words of liberation while the Innocent Criminals supply
some intense percussion. Meanwhile "Ground On Down"
begins with some experimental sounding guitar strum-
ming, only to break into one of the funkiest rock jams
heard on record in a lung lime
Then when you thought Fight For Your Mind couldn't
get anymore diverse. Harper sings about relationships and
being alone on the intimate. "Another Lonely Day" — "It
wouldn't of worked out any way/for now it's just another
lonely day."
As far as playing live goes. Harper is hardly an amateur.
Opening for the likes of Luscious lackson. Spearhead. The
Roots and later this year. P.|. Harvey. Harper's strong and
inspiring lyrics come across just as much if not more than
on record. In addition, one can watch Harper go to work
on his acoustic guitar while the Innocent Criminals play
behind him.
Harper, who will be at Pearl Street, will most likely
appeal to anyone, due to his diverse musical styles. If
you are into classic rock, reggae, hip hop or just appreci-
ate real talent, he shouldn't be missed. Also, if there is
any justice in the rock 'n' roll world, he will probably
soon become big and this will be one of the last opportu-
nities to see him play small intimate shows like the one
tonight.
Ben Harper will be appearing at Pearl St. tonight ai
8:30 p.m. in the downstairs of the club. Tickets are
available at Tix Unlimited and For the Record in
.Amherst

Musicians find trouble with law
MUSIC NEWS (POLICE
REPORT) — Why does it seem ihat
the same musicians remain in the
headlines week after week?
Courtney Love is now on trial for
assaulting several fans at a Hole con-
cert in March. If convicted, she could
face two years in prison, just two
months ago. Love pleaded guilty to
assaulting Kathleen Hanna
of Bikini Kill During
the court session Love
was quoted as saying.
"Hey prosecutors.
Psssst. Are you the
prosecutors? Can I be
O.j. and you be
Christopher Darden?"
Will Love ever learn
to keep her mouth
shut?
Havor Rav. a mem
ber of Public Enemy,
had another run in
with the law this past
week. After the taxi cab he was dri-
ving in was pulled over, police offi-
cers searched Flavor Rav finding an
automatic weapon and three vials of
crack. This past August he completed
a three month jail sentence for shoot-
ing at a neighbor.
UPCOMING SHOWS - \ec-d to
hear some live music? Well, there are
plenty of shows over the next week
that will entertain you without break-
ing your budget.
Tomorrow night is a busy night for
shows. Over at the Bay State in
Northampton. New Radiant Storm
King will take the stage with the
Purple Ivy Shadows from
Providence. If you have never seen
NRSK. I cannot praise them enough
— they arc the cream of the crop
when it comes to local bands. Over at
Hampshire College's Prescott Tavern.
Pumpernickel and Zoepy will per-
lomi their pop hits. Meanwhile, the
basement of the Crcenough
Liner
Notes
compiled by
Mike Burke
Dormitory here at UMass will be
punked up with Action Patrol (from
Virginia). Hellbender. Eraserhead
and more.
But the real killer shows of the
week will take place over at the
Amherst College Frontroom later this
week. On Wednesday. Yo La Tengo
and the PasieU will take the stage
and then the next night
Versus. Tizzy and New
Radiant Storm King
will showcase their
talent. Yo La Tengo
and Versus are among
the premiere live
bands on the East
Coast, both known
for their intense, ener-
getic live shows. You
will not be disap-
pointed.
SINGLES OF THE
WEEK - Here is a
look at some of the more interesting
7" singles that have been recently
released.
SPIRITUALIZED - "Any Way
That You Want Me" (Sub Pop)
Grunge may be dead but Sub Pop's
hey day is hardly over. Over the past
few years they have continued to
release hit singles one after another
by bands as diverse as Elastica. Scud
Mountain Boys and the
Tinderslicks. The streak continues
with this new piece of 7' vinyl by
Spiritualized who prove once again
why' they are one of the most hyped
bands around. Forming in the ashes
of Spaceman 3. Spiritualized have
continued in their predecessors' foot-,
steps writing dreamy, anthem like
tunes. The A side is a mellow, beau-
tiful tune beefed up by the sounds of
a lull orchestra of strings. The flip-
side. "Step Into the Breeze" is a
more upbeat tune that sucks the lis-
tener in much like old Spacemen 3
tunes.
HALOGEN/TREIOPS TRYFID
— split single (Kilogram Denial).
Here is the inaugural release by a
new local label run by a Hampshire
College student. As with any good
split single, this piece of vinyl serves
as an excellent introduction to two
most interesting artists. Treiops
Tryfid spends most of his time as gui-
tarist in Pitchblende, but recently he
has startixj solo recording and this is
his first release. "Hand Full Of
Babylon" is a mighty catchy tune
which sounds like a cross between
Unrest and Polvo. Look for an
upcoming EP on VHF. Proteen
recording artists Halogen contribute
"Hindude." an intriguing tunc that
mixes Slini/Rodan influences with
catchier guitar grooves to combine
for a mighty enjoyable listen. Let's
keep our fingers crossed and hope for
more stellar releases from Kilogram
Denial
VARIOUS ARTISTS — Blue
(Magic Eye). This new label has one
goal, "to present unreleased songs
that are different from those a band
usually creates." It might sound like a
great idea but it does not work too
well. Local music fans will be inter-
ested though as it contains new
tracks bv New Radiant Storm King
and Zeke Fiddler The NRSK song.
"Embry Crossroads" is a rare glimpse
at the band's softer, acoustic side.
Zeke appears here, with Steven D
(Scud Mountain Boys) on bass,
singing a song probably about life in
the Valley, "Eventually Everyone
Leaves This Town." The Sonara
Pine, featuring Tara |ane O'Neill
(formerly of Rodan, now of Retsin)
and Sean Meadows dune of 44) jam
on this two guitar piece that is only
slightly enjoyable. Overall this collec-
tion leaves much to be desired and is
only recommended for die hard fans.
After one listen, you quickly realize
why these tunes have probably not
been released before.

V-ball tries to clinch playoffs
Minutewomen
By StevMi Grant
Collegion Staff
Looking to clinch a postseason berth, the
Massachusetts volleyball team (21-10 overall. 12-5
Atlantic-IO) will travel to Xavier and Dayton this week-
end to take on the Musketeers and Flyers.
UMass was victorious against both teams the first time
around, leaving the Minutewomen with an opportunity
for a successful weekend.
A win over both teams would ensure a spot in the
A- 10 Championships, to be held at UMass on Nov 24
and 25.
Back on Oct. 15, the Minutewomen had almost no
trouble with Dayton, sweeping them in three games.
15-6. 15-5. 15- 10. The match marked the return of
Giza Rivera, who had been out almost a month with an
ankle injury. Rivera led the team in kills that night with
15.
The following day. UMass played host to Xavier.
and it was more of the same. The Minutewomen
earned their second consecutive sweep winning 15-8.
15-6. 15-10. Rivera registered 18 kills, another
team-high.
Although Dayton is a respectable 16-11, 9-7 A- 10. it
has dropped four of its last five games.
Interestingly enough, the one win was against a
strong Virginia Tech (17-10. 9-6) squad. The losses
include Temple, Wright State, George Washington and
Xavier.
The Flyers are led by Jody Klare. who is averaging a
teant-high 3.242 kills per game, along with 2.594 digs per
game, good for second on the team. Paula Kirch follows
Klare with 2.394 kills per game. Tops on the team in hit-
ting percentage is Michelle Carter, who is hitting at a .297
clip. Sheila Krein is second at .265, while Kiare is third at
.255.
As a team, the Flyers are averaging 2.085 blocks per
game, 14.287 digs per game, and own a .244 hitting per-
centage.
'I think our team has really been working hard late-
ly, both in practice and in the matches,* UMass middle
blocker Leigh Readey said. "If we continue our inten-
sity, and execute, we should have a successful week-
end.'
After these two affairs, UMass travels to Rhode Island
next Thursday to face the Rams, who are currently in sec-
ond place in the conference. UMass could boost its confi-
dence with a win over URI, which is a potential post sea-
son opponent.
conftfMjed from poge 10
well in practice. Martin and Donaldson
both responded to tl>e challenge issued
to them at A- 10s, giving LaFreniere an
optimistic oulkxA for this weekend.
"The quality of this field is real
strong.* LaFreniere said. "It will give
my women a chance to run with
some big guns. They are ready and
rested, and I think we will do well.
"Katie is looking a lot better, and
now that |en is healthy, she's looking
the best Tve seen her all year," she
said. "Rebecca is kwking great, really
pumped."
The meet holds double importance
for Donaghue. who will attempt to
qualify for the NCAA Championships.
According to LaFreniere. Donaghue is
in excellent condition and ready to
make a run at qualifying.
"Rebecca has a serious shot at mak-
ing NCAAs. She's in the right mindset
to do it," LaFreniere said. "There will
be tough competition to push her, and
1 think she can do it. Katie OToole
(UConn), and Sue Yaagielski (St.
foe's) will be two of the top individual
runners, and the Providence,
Villanova. and Georgetown teams will ,
have several top finishers*
LaFreniere is confident about her
team's chances of doing well, and dot-
ing out the season orr a positive note.
"We're fresh, we're feeling good,
looking good." she said. "We're going
to run snuirt, and do well."

meet is Providence College. The Friars
have been a top 10 nationally ranked
team all year. After Providence,
Dartmouth is a favorite to grab the
second qualifying spot.
The ihiitl. and final qualifying spot is
up for grabs. The rest of the field is as
evenly skilled as possible. With teams
such as Brown. Boston College, and
Williams to Nkxirry about. Massachusetts
has its hands full The MinutenK-n have
already competed against these teams,
and done weli. so there is a definite pos-
sibility of UMass running away with
that final qualifying spot.
As uf late, Massachusetts has been
running magnificently. Coming off a
top five finish at the New England
Championships, the team outdid
itself with a first place finish at the
A- 1 Or.
They have accomplished this with
a solid team effort. Throughout the
season, different runners have
stepped up with spectacular perfor-
mances, all at different times. Along
with the consistent running of juniors
Matt Behl. and Mike Maceiko. overall
team depth has been the formula of
success for the Minutemen.

Team.
Looking for a letdown in 1995?
You wont find one. as Lynch has
gotten even better. It is readily
apparent how important she has
become to the Minutewomen.
"She's very important in terms of
her quality of play and in particular,
her quiet and steady leadership,"
Rudy said. "She's not a really loud
leader, but she doesn't have to say
much to get people to play. People
know that when Erin gets on the
field, she's there to play and there to
succeed."
She continues to succeed this sea-
son as now she is currently third on
the team in scoring with four goals
and eight assists for 16 points.
Her higher scoring output comes
from the fact that she is getting
forward even more than a year
ago.
Many times during a game she'll
see an opening and advance up the
field.
"My role's changed a little bit
with Amanda (Thompson) coming
in the back. I have a little bit more
Hexibility, I can get forward a little
bit more," Lynch said. "I don't
have as much defensive responsi-
bilities, but still, defense is the first
thing."
"She's so threatening when she
comes through the middle, because
to sec someone with her capabilities
coming through the middle like that,
out of the back, people just don't
know what to do," Myers said. "So
when she's coming through, it's just
like you sit and watch her go
through, because she's l^t type of
player."
Lynch's outstanding D' has
helped lead the Minutewomen to a
0.59 goals-against-average. belter
ing the team's 0.76 CAA uf a year
ago.
"You can't replace (1994 gradu-
ate) Heidi Kocher but our defense
is still as strong as ever," Lynch
said.
First-year assistant coach Chris
Chamides. who was a defender him-
self at l^fayettc. has helped Lynch
continue to get better at her game as
well.
'He points out the little things
that help you out," Lynch said.
"He's played so long he can tell
you exactly what will help you.
He's a really great person, great
coach."
Can Lynch get any better?
"Oh yeah." Rudy said "You'll just
see her go. Someone who trains like
her will just do nothing but get bet

Candidate Greg Bullock left school
early to join the IHL's San Franciico
Spiders.
Mallcn said while the Riverhawk
forwards do have talent, there are still
question marks in Bullock's abseiKe.
"leff Daw is a great playa. Christian
Sbrocca is a great player." he said.
"Nobody reaJly knows what the effect
of Greg Bullock was on their point
totals Whether they made a bl of pan-
es to Hulkx:k who scored or that he put
it on their stick and they scored."
Those forwards will have to con-
teiKl with Regan on Friday night, who
has been strong early. Regan has been
the iron man in net so far, as he's
been there for all three of UMasi'
games. Depending on how tonight
goes for the sophomore from
Connecticut, Mallen will consider
using either Dave Kilduff or Rich
Moriarty tomorrow.
The rest of the lineup will remain
the same however as Mallen isn't
straying from his winning formula.
"So far it's like, if it ain't broke
don't fix it,* he said, "but we have
some guys thai are ready to break
into the lineup, but we haven't had
many major mistakes by our player*
so far. We have to keep going with
what's gotten us there.*

Okay, so it isn't a coupon. But it caught your
attention - Right? You can do the sanne thing by
simply coming down to the Collegian, talking to
Chris Conner (our wonderful, over-worked news
editor), and telling him you want to write news
I stories. This will put a smile on Chris' face, as he |
I needs lots of writers to cover all the interesting |

Lynch, UMass to host Hartford in NCAA action
After a quick rise to fame, star defender Lynch shines brightly Rivals square off
By Condice Flemming
Collegian Staff
Taking a quick look at Erin
Lynch, a defender for the
Massachusetts women's soccer
team, one might not see the great-
ness in her.
But more importantly, her coach
sees it. her teammates see it. and
opposing coaches see it.
"She's got the complete package.
Her strength is that she does every-
thing really well. She's in the top
five lin the country). I've got no
questions about that."
Massachusetts coach jim Rudy.
"There might be a defender or two
that's got more speed or more recog-
nition, but this kid knows how to
play. She knows the game.
Intellectually, her game is above
most kids in the country."
"F.rin is an unbelievable player.
She's always amazing. Nothing phas-
es her game. She's always out there
confident." said teammate Rebecca
Myers. "She always seems to put
together a strong game regardless of
the outcome. She steps out on that
Held and it's all together for her. and
to me. that's amazing to see in a play-
er."
"She's a great player."
Connecticut head coach Len
Tsantiris said. "She's good in the air.
covers a lot of space and is very
effective. She's very difficult to beat
one-on-one. When she does well,
the whole team is really in gear.
She's up there with the top players
that we've faced "
In her three years at UMass.
Lynch has been a tough, reliable and
steady defender for the
tradition-rich Minutewomen pro-
gram
"When you put on the UMass
maroon jersey, you're playing for this
school. You're playing for the tradi-
tion that it'«. always had. You want to
play your best and hopefully keep the
tradition going, just winning games."
Lynch said. "You're playing with a
lot of pride when you put on the
UMass colors."
When it's time for post-season
awards, defenders are usually over-
looked. The top scorers in the con-
ference are the ones that get the
awards, right? Not in the Atlantic
10 The last three Atlantic 10 Player
of the Year awards have gone to
defensive players, all from UMass. In
1443 it was goalkeeper Briana
Scurry, now a member of the U.S.
National Team.
In 1944. and again this year, it was
Lynch.
~l was honored. It means a lot to
me to be honored twice in a row."
Lynch said. "It makes me feel great
because you don't expect to get all of
the publicity, being a defender, if
you don't score all the goals. It
shows thai people appreciate the
defensive side of the game, which is
great."
In 1495, Lynch had a solid fresh
man campaign, starting 17 games
while seeing action in 20. The
Austin. Texas native finished her
first year of collegiate ball with six
points (one goal, four assists) and
her only goal was the game-winner
in a 5-i) victory over Providence in
the NCAA Northeast Regional semi-
flnal.
But it was in 1994 that she really
made a name for herself. F.ntering
the season, she was tabbed as one of
the top 10 sophomores in the nation
by College Sporn magazine. She
backed up that claim by displaying
her tremendous ability in getting for-
ward.
She ended up scoring 1 2 points
on five goals and two assists, good
for fifth on the team. Two of her
goals won games for the
Minutewomen.
As the season progressed, she
kept getting better. That's when the
accolades started to be thrown her

wall of defense that will face Hartford
On Oct. 1 1 . the Massachusetts and Hartford's women's
soccer teams played to a 0-0 tie after regulation and two
overtimes. There was no winner that day. but tomorrow in
the first round match-up of NCAA Northeast Regionals.
one team will survive to play Connecticut next weekend
and the other's season will end.
The Minutewomen and Hawks are no strangers to one
another, as this will be the seventh meeting between the
two teams in the last four years. UMass is 1-4-1 in
those meetings leading up to tomorrow's contest,
including twice losing to Hartford in the NCAA tourna-
ment.
Both of those losses came in Hartford, but this game
will be held at UMass' Richard F Garber field, and with
the change of atmosphere, the Minutewomen hope for a
change in results as well
"We played really well here in the Atlantic 10 tourna-
ment." junior Rebecca Myers said. "Hopefully we can con-
tinue to pla> well and we'll just see where that can take
us."
During the A- 10 tourney. UMass played it's best
back-to back games of the season downing George
Wa-ihington and Xavier. 2-0 and &-0 respectively. Now
they will uitcnipt to continue that trend against a Hawk
team that controlled much of their first match.
Both teams had quality scoring oppt>rtunities but it was
Hartford who had more of them. The Hawks outshot
UMass 24 to 1 3 and had three more comer kicks than the
Minutewomen. UMass coach |im Rudy attributes that to
the mindset of his team.
"We worried abc>ut them more than we worried about
ourselves. " Rudy --aid "We are concentrating on our game
this lime .And we have been playing extremely well as of
late. This could be our last game |on Garber FieW] and we
arc looking forward to playing Hartford."
Rudy's players echo his sentiments
"I can't wait to play Saturday." halfback Rebecca Myers
said. "We love going up against Hartford. Its always excit-
ing."
"Last time we played (the Hawks)." forward Karin
lohnson said, "we didn't play our game, we worried about
what they were doing We're not doing that this time."
Two players who UMass fans will be worrying about on
Saturday are seniors Jessica Reifer and Irene Slelling.
Both Reifer and Stelling out of the midfield have the abili-
ty to set up their forwards, as well as giving themselves
prime scoring chances. Reifer has 1 1 goals and nine
assists on the season, while Stelling has seven goals and
nine assists.
A hockey rivalry in tlie maicing

Senior forward Sal Manganaro has been one
of the reasons the UMass hockey team is off to a
3-0-0 start. They put their unbeaten record on
the line tonight at 7 p.m. at the Mullins Center.
Looking over some of the greatest rivalries in
college hockey. Boston University and Boston
College... Michigan and Michigan State...
Minnesota and Minnesota-Duluth...
Mussachuietts-VMass-Lowein
Well not yet. But if things continue the way the
two teams battled a year ago. ii could be.
The two teams will renew that rivalry this week-
end; tonight at the William D. Mullins Center and
then Saturday for Lowell's home opener at the
Tully Forum. Massachusetts coach loe Mallcn
pointed to the fans at Lowell as a big part of the
rivalry's beginning.
"The place will probably be packed." Mallen said
of Lowell's home-opener. "1 think that
UMass-Lowell has made it into a big rivalry. We
went there last year and they had the signs saying
The rivalry has begun."
Just looking at the scores over the three
matchups wouldn't bring rivalry to mind. The
Riverhawks dominated the Minulemen. sweeping
the three-game series.
But what most defined the three contests was the
physical play of both teams and the animosity
between them. The Massachusetts players have not
forgotten the bad blood.
"We don't forget what happened last year." said
senior forward Sal Manganaro. "They came into
our building, played physical and hurt a couple of
our players and we don't take kindly to it.
"1 think it's going to carry over to this weekend. I
think it's going to be very physical, very hard fought."
Another thing adding to the rivalry this year will
be the inception of the Alumni Cup. The trophy
will be given each year to whichever team captures
the season series.
With the trophy case on the third floor of the
William D. Mullins Center currently dominated by
basketball trophies, sophomore goalie Brian Regan
hopes to add stime hiKkey awards.
"We're kxiking to take the Alumni Cup this year
and put some hardware in these trophy cases." he
said.
Mallen is looking for the trophy to add motiva-
tion for his squad.
"I think we can contend for the Alumni Cup."
Mallen said. "I hope it will be motivation for us to
play hard this weekend."
"The way you build tradition is by starling one.
and that's what we're doing here." said
Manganaro. "Thai'<- what the cup is going to be
about. We want to win it."
With Massachusetts coming in on a high note
after a "S-O start and Lowell sporting a weaker lineup
than last year, the game should be a competitive one.
The Riverhawks check in undefeated at 2-0-2.
but they have been a bit shaky in the early going.
They opened their season with a win over
Rensselaer, tied Air Force twice, and then beat
Princeton last weekend.
"We have had our ups and downs." said Lowell
coach Bruce Crowder. "I thought we played well
against Princeton."
The Riverhawk forwards are still looking for an
identity this season as would-be Hobey Bqker

Donaghuey UMass look
for success at ECAC's
By Casey Kane
Collegian Staff
When the final Massachusetts
women's cross country runner
crosses the finish line this weekend,
it will mark the curtain call for the
1445 season. And as the house
lights go up. the Minutewomen are
hoping for a happy ending.
Travelling to Boston this week-
end, the UMass team will compete
in its final meet of the season, the
ECAC Championships.
Considered one of the toughest
meets of the year, the ECAC's will
feature a tremendous amount of
talent, from the best teams on the
Eastern seaboard.
"There is going to be so much
cross country talent in Boston this
weekend. It's going to be incredi-
ble." UMass coach lulie LaFreniere
said. "This is a huge meet. There
aa" going to be a lot of teams close
together, and 1 think some will only
be separated by a point or two."
Franklin Park, the site of the
1442 World Cross Country
Championships, will be the host
of this weekend's meet. The
course is a flat, fast course which
favors track style athletes.
"My women have to get out in
front early, and keep their pace."
LaFreniere said. "On this course
you have to get out immediately.
You can't sit back and then pick
your way to the top. This is a
course with the track runner in
mind. It's fast, and 800 [meter)
runners do well."
UMass will be led by Rebecca
Donaghue and |en Waeger. two of
the top harriers in New England.
Donaghue has led the
Minutewomen all year, placing
second overall at the Atlantic 10
Championships. Waeger. who bat-
tled health problems for a stretch
during the latter half of the sea-
son, has been just as consistent.
She has finished second for
UMass in every race this season.
The supporting cast of Katie
Greenia. Christy Martin, and Kristin
Donaldson will be counted on to
push the Minutewomen to the top.
Greenia has had trouble with her
hamstring, but has been running

Minutemen head to
Boston for lC4As
By Jason Rubin
Collegion Staff
The Massachusetts men's cross country team has
had a very fulfilling season. They have already com-
peted in two Championships, and have fared extreme-
ly well. The team placed fourth at the New Englands.
and finished first at the Atlantic 10 Championships.
Both meets were lough, grueling, competitive battles.
The Minutemen used a balanced team attack to place
at (he lop. This weekend will be a true test of the
Minutemen's overall strength, as thc7 run at the 1C4A
Championships this Saturday at Boston's Franklin Park.
Every NCAA Divisitm I school on the east coast
will be in attendance, as well as numerous Division
II standouts.
"It's basically every lop Division 1 and II school on
the East Coast fighting it out. to see who is the best."
coach Ken O'Brien said. "Not only dcx;s it determine
who the best' is. the 1C4A is the qualifying meet to
see who runs at the NCAA Championships."
The top three finishers at the 1C4A meet from
Division I. and the top two finishers from Division
II. will compete next weekend at the NCAA
Championships.

Football looks to take advantage of disappointing Terriers
By Andrew Bryce
Collegian Staff
The best part of the Massachusetts
football team's record up to this point
is that it still has a chance of going a
respectable 7-4 for the season (2-4 in
Yankee Conference), despite all but
being out of the playoff picture.
Intrastate rival Boston University's
season, though, is a flat out disap-
pointment. The Terriers (2-7 overall.
1-6 YanCon) have plummeted from
its ever-successful 1994 campaign,
going from a 9-^5 NCAA Division
I-AA Tournament team a year ago to
the current 2-7 squad. After defeating
Villanova (21-16) and Maine
(40-21). they have dropped seven
consecutive contests, including a
28-17 loss to Connecticut.
That spells out last place in the New
England Division of the YanCon,
despite being picked a consensus third
prior to this season. If anything, the
Terriers will have the Nickerson Field
crowd on their side against the
Minulemen tomorrow afternoon ( 1
p.m.) in Boston, as they shiK)t for their
first win in just under two months.
As for the Minutemen. last week's
24-21 overtime loss at Maine was a
hearlbreaker. After going 2-3 in the
first five tilts. UMass made a run that
looked postseason-bound to the
hopefuls. Three consecutive victories,
including a 20-4 decision over
William & Mary, and the Minutemen
were on a much -needed roll.
Then came the crushing blow, a
35-yard Chris Binder field goal for
the Black Bears, and their playoff
chances are now all but obsolete.
Regardless, the Minulemen still have
a chance to salvage the sea.son. Senior
co-captain and Waller Payton Award
candidate Rene Ingoglia, who has
amassed 1031 yards and scored 18
touchdowns this season, was the one
who fumbled on the first play of the
overtime period to turn it over to Maine
for the winning drive. That was the first
costly ciTor by Ingoglia in recent memo-
ry, as the fullback has spent the season
closing in on and .setting school, confer-
ence, and national records.
On the defensive end. no one has
turned more heads for his efforts than
junior linebacker |uslin Reimer. His
1 18 tackles nearly double UMass' sec-
ond-place tackier (Khari Samuel —
69). including 76 unassisted. He is

Two protests held outside new Hadley video store
By Humphrey brown ni
and Daymion Smith
Collegion Staff
"One. two. three, four — we don't
want your porno store..." was one of
the chants heard from students,
protesting the opening of the Adults
Only Video Store in a rally last
Friday, held just initside of the store
on Route 9. The rally was organized
by the Everywoman's Center to
demonstrate their disapproval of the
store's presence and of pornography
in general.
"They sell underground pornogra-
phy of women being raped." said
Heather Koran, one of the organizers
for the rally. "Pornography perpetu-
ates violence against women."
The driving mechanism behind the
rally was the violence that pornogra-
phy allegedly promotes. Supporters
and members of the Everywoman's
Center came to let passing motorists
know of their views. Along with the
women, a couple men showed up to
show their support as well, Ben
Waterman, a UMass student shared
the women's opinions on violence in
pornography .
"I was raised to equate the reading
of pornography as the coming of age
of a man." Waterman said. "1 think
it's bogus. If you tum women into a
'thing.' Niolence is inevitable."
Net with every issue, there are two
sides and the other side made their
presence known last Friday as well in
an ami- rally for pornography and
the Adults Only Video Store, directly
across from the anti-pom demonsta-
trators. With signs that read. "I love
pom" and "Honk if you love pom."
the pro-pornography supporters
made a territorial stand as well as a
political one as they occupied the
area directly in front of the video
store, causing the anti-pom demon-
strators to move down. Damien
Weaver, a Hampshire College stu-
dent and organizer of the anti-rally,
explains the reasons behind the
counter protest.
"I organized the counter protest,
because in this country tfiere is a con-
certed effort to make people feel
ashamed about their sexuality, gay or
straight." Weaver said. "I believe
pornography atxi masturbation to be
a healthy, fuiniling pan of a person's
overall sex life."
Although outnumbered, the
pro-pornography demonstrators
managed to draw a good number of
supporters.
"I read in the Collegian thiat tfiere
was a protest, so a bunch of us came
to support America's amendments'
first right." said Stephanie Cote, a
Hampshire College student. "I'm
against exploitation, but we live in a
country where it's one conscious
decision to exploit any talent they
have when it is within the law.
Pornography is legal aivi shcxild con-
tinue to be." Cole said.
The rwo demonstrations going on
at the same time caused confusion
among some of the passing motorists,
who couldn't distinguish between the
two groups. As a result, many cars
would pass by one set of protesters,
honk for them, then honk again wfien
they passed by the others not realiz-
ing that the two were different. Even
though the anti- pornography
demonstrators were surprised by the
presence of the counter rally, there
was a mutual respect given and no
animosity was shown.

Five-College profs, discuss trade wars
By Michael ENioN
Collegion Staff
International trade, through the
course of the twentieth century, has
become a primary source of conflict
amongst nations — a phenomenon
discus>ed by a Five-College panel at
Amherst College Thursday night.
Beth Yarbrough and Daniel
Barbe/.al of Amherst College and
Dennis Yasutomo of Smith College
spoke on "Trade Wars." a event
sponsored by the Five-College
Program in Peace and World Security
Studies.
While Yarbrough. a professor of
economics, said that exact definitions
remain ambiguous, she defined a
trade war as "one country using its
trade policy in the efforts to force
another country to change its trade
policy."
In recent years, most notably since
the end of the Cold War. global trad-
ing patterns have changed substan-
tially. Y'arbrough cited countries in
f^stem Europe, which have replaced
their communist systems with
Westernized, free- market
economies,
"Developing countries as a whole
have dramatically opened as well."
using examples in Latin America and
South East Asia.
This evolving system of trade poses
new challenges to exporting nations,
and has had its effects, domestically
speaking, on the political landscape
within the United States. Yarbrough
said.
"Politicians often claim that their
trade wars are flghting unfair trade
practices." abroad, Yarbrough said.
This reasoning was used by American
policy makers earlier this summer,
when the US threatened severe
restrictions on Japanese luxury auto
imports if they did not open their
market to increased US goods.

The UMass women's soccer team celebrates its double overtime
victofy against Hartford in the first round of the NCAA tournament
on Saturday (See Sports, page 12).
Moves such as these. Yarbrough
said, are motivated by those who see
foreign competition as a threat to
domestic job market security. This
theory, however, "clashes rather
directly with simple economics."
The economy "is not manipulated
by a single trade policy." Yarbrough
said. Trade, in actuality, transfers
jobs within a country from one inter-
nal market to the next, shaped by the
nature of extemal competition.
This fact, in turn, means that,
while trade wars can protect, and
hence, work to the advantage of one
sector of the economy, it comes at
the expense of another sector, or the
entire economy in general.
Yarbrough said. "There is always a
price to be paid."
The future of trade wars will
depend on improvements in what
Yarbrough refers to as "dispute
resolving mechanisms" within the
WoHd Trade Organization (WTO),
created b^ '-. provision in the General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.
"International trade should start
working better." Yarbrough conclud-
ed.
Barbezal. a professor of econom-
ics, shared the views of his colleague
from Amherst by emphasizing that
trade should not be seen as a threat
by countries such as the US.

Project works for equal schools
By Dove LoFontano
ColUgion Staff
The National Coalition for Equality in Learning
(NCEL). a project started by a University of
Massachusetts professor, held a conference in
Montgomery, Alabama on Oct. 26 to discuss the prob-
lem of inequality of academics in our nation's schools.
The NCEL is an innovative reform effort headquar-
tered at UMass. Dr. Robert Sinclair, a professor of
education at the University, who started the project
five years ago, serves as the Coalition's director.
Sinclair and Five UMass graduate students lead this
experiment, funded by the Danforth Foundation.
"The NCEL is hope for any student who. for whatev-
er reason, is not succeeding in the existing system."
said graduate student David Raker.
The NCEL's work is centered around seeing where
changes can be made to help the students realize their
potential. Raker said.
The meeting in Montgomery involved educators
from all of the eight NCEL school districts, which
includes 75 diverse elementary and secondary schools.
"The meeting, which was titled: 'On Equal Terms:
Improving Our Nation's Schixjis,'" was designed to be
an exchange of ideas. Educators from across the coun-
try could compare notes on problems they face in their
individual school system and the progress they are
making there, in order to help all the people learn well.
"Dr. Sinclair invited people from each of the dis-
tricts to write papers to present at the meeting."
Mensing-Triplelt said. "This was an effort to bring
together theory and practice, to look carefully at the
practices the schools have engaged in to meet the
needs of marginal students.'
According to Sinclair, the problems of inequality
facing many students today is seen as a civil rights
question, and the Montgomery meeting concentrated
on this theme.
"Montgomery is known as the birthplace of the civil
rights movement," said |ohn Eberhan. superintendent
of Montgomery's public school system "'That was the
reason we had the meeting there "
Fberhart also noted that the present condition of
Montgomery schools made the site of the meeting
appropriate.
"In Montgomery's public school system. 60 percent
of our students come from impoverished households,
and 90 percent of the Coalition schools are impover-
ished." he said.
Sinclair agreed with Eberhart's correlation between
socio- economic deprivation and learning difficulties.
"We are finding that when students are not success-
ful in their learning, many of them happen to be
African-American and hispanic kids from poor
homes." Sinclair said.
The problems that these students face varies greatly,
and the Coalition's goal is to solve each problem indi-
vidually, dealing with the problem one on one.
Sinclair said.
"The Coalition helps educators to help themselves."
he said. "We want to build the school's capacity to rec-
ognize its own distinct problems, and give educators
insight to their own solutions,"
The Coalition is encouraging learning in
Montgomery by working with teen-age parents to help
them finish school. They have also started a tutorial

Debate tournament hosted by Mount Holyoke College
By Amy H. Parodyu
Collegian Staff
SOUTH HADLEY — "I'm exhausted." said
Sandra Rengel. the Ml. Holyoke College senior
who directed a 40 team debate tournament at the
college this past weekend. ^^_^.^^_^^_
Debaters came to Mt.
Holyoke from as near as
Amherst College and as far as
the University of Alberta.
Canada, for an Oxford-style
contest, in preparation for the
World's Debate Tournament in
Cork, Ireland later in the year.
The 40 participating teams
of two needed the practice
because American parliamen-
tary debate is different from
the Oxford-style which will be
used in Ireland. American
debate fcKuses on content and
argumentation, as opposed to -
Oxford-style debate, which
according to Rengel. empha-
sizes a speaker's verbal skills, including wit. Other
differences between the two styles include the way
"/ think that prepar-
ing such an event really
tests your organization-
al skills and your lead-
ership skills. Even if
you plan ei>ery thing. . .
you 're going to have to
make a judgement
every five minutes. "
- Sandra Rengel
speaking in one debate.
After two days of debate, the final round
Saturday featured four teams — two for the propo-
sition and two for the opposition — debating the
resolution: "This house will give land for peace."
TTic proposition team applied that to a real situa-
_^^^_____^_ tion, saying that Russia should
give land to Chechnya. The
opposition put forward several
objections to that proposal.
According to Rengel, they
argued that giving freedom to
a piece of a country could lead
to the disintegration of that
country. Also. Rengel said,
they asked whether it is possi-
ble to assess if the majority in
that region, as to opposed to
just the leaders, want to be
separate.

team in fourth.
subjects are chosen, and the number of teams Mt. Holyoke, as the host, didn't get any
Oxford-style practice from this tournament, but
Rengel said they probably will not send a team to
the World's Tournament.
"Debate is an expensive sport," Rengel said, it
costs about $100 for a two- person team to com-
pete in the average tournament, she said.
Although. Rengel said Mt. Holyoke probably
won't be able to afford to send a team to the
Worlds, they plan to send one to the National's
and the North America's Tournaments.
The Mt Holyoke fX-bate Society made a $2,500
profit this weekend, and it got an opportunity to
use some non -debate related talents.
"I think that preparing such an event really tests
your organizational skills and your leadership
skills." Rengel said. "Even if you plan everything...
you're going to have to make a judgement every
five minutes."
For example, when one of the participants thought
she had chicken pox. Rengel decided to temporarily
place someone else in charge of the debate and per-
sonally take the woman to see a doctor.
Mt. Holyoke has had a College Debate Society
since 1896. The current 20 person group, with
Rengel as vice-president, competes in regiortal con-
tests almost every weekend. The student-run
American Parliamentary Debate Associatioii asked
the Society to run this year's tournament.

seduces you to think that their is
something adversarial about trade."
Barbezat said. "We trade because
we want stuff— some of that stuff
comes from foreign countries.
There is nothing wrong with that."
Global trade agreements made in
the aftermath of the Second World
War. were, generally speaking,
"trying to diminish the protection-

This trend however, said
Barbezat. has begun to reverse

Yasutomo. a professor of gov-
ernment, focused his discussion on
US-)apan trade relations, and the
changing nature of the relationship
between these two nations.
The US occupation of the
Japanese homeland in 1945. said
Yasutomo. created a new lapan
which included a very
Americanized economic system.
"The US saw itself as the superi-
or partner." in their efforts to
rebuild japan, encouraged by. a
"occupational mentality." ingrained
in the US. said Yasutomo.
"Americans got used to telling
lapwn what to do." he added.
The election of President
Clinton, who was educated in the
1960s and not directly after the
end of WWII, has been a diving
factor in the way the US now views
lapan — as a economic power and
competitor, Yasutomo said.
"The US no longer feels the need
to be the benevolent mentor,"
Yasutomo said, suggesting a reason
for increased tensions evident
between the countries in their most
recent trade disputes.
Friction, therefore, is an
"accepted and permanent' ele-
ment in US-)apan trade relations.
While the US sees "keeping up the
pressure," as a means for success
in trade wars. lapan finds a
hard-line stance their best defense
against US interests. Yasutomo

'Sex is Not a Game' gives information;
sex, pregnancy & disease are discussed
By MoNhew Wuilzel
CoHegion Staff
Sex is not a game, or maybe it is.
There is a new card game available for
students which teaches them about
sex, pregnancy and sexually transmit-
ted diseases.
"Sex is Not a Game" was created by
a group of parents in the Cincinnati
area in conjunction with doctors.
"We got together and started dis-
cussing problems with sex education,"
said Theresa Rahe, Dealt Seriously
Co. national sales representative and
parent. "We thought children and
teenagers would learn a lot through a
game."
According to a Dealt Seriously
press release, 1 7 to 50- year-olds —
the primary target a-, dience of the
game — constitute the fastest growing
group of AIDS cases.
"The response to "Sex is Not a
Game' has been phenomenal and we
have received great positive feed-
back." said Dan Dugan. Dealt
Seriously's director of marketing.
Orders have been coming in from
across the nation and even from as far
as Puerto Rico. Rahe said.
Results of test marketing with stu-
dents has been excellent, according to
Dugan.
"My friends and 1 thought we knew
everything about sex until we played
the game." said Eric West, a sopho-
more at the University of Cincinnati.
"We had a great time learning that we
were wrong."
The game focuses on three primary
areas of interest, pregnancy, sex and
sexually transmitted disea.ses.
Rahe said the game took two to
three years to develop, and the
answer to every question has been
extensively researched and approved
by a doctor.
The game includes questions like:
"the average child molester is 65. True
or False'.'" The answer is false, the
average age of a pedophile is 33
years-old.
There are about 900 cards, and
every card is color coded for the three
focus areas. The cards come in an easy
to carry, durable, hard plastic box.
Dealt Seriously donates profits from
the game to sex education programs
across the nation.
Rahe said the game is currently
unavailable through retailers because
they want to keep the price down,
but Dealt Seriously hopes to eventu-
ally sell the game through college
bookstores. Despite the lack of retail
support. Rahe said they are begin-
ning to see sales rise as the holidays
approach.
The game costs $34.25 which
includes the five dollar shipping
charge, and can be ordered through
l-80O-«87-GAME.
Rahe said a computer version is
currently in the works.

An Angels story
Marni E.
Helfner
A rigel is a real person and her slory is true, \umes
Zl iiriil places have been changed because Angel and
■* A her children are minors.
.My iiiime is .Angd.
I'll be \t in two months. I live — I gue» >ou would luII
it living — on the streets, but I sleep wherever i can. I do
dates down in Alphabet City to get by
I know you think it's bud I do dales, but fm not doing
it to buy drugs or anything. I'm just trying to save some
money so that I can gel an apartment for me and my kids.
They're livin' with my ma and Charlie, and I ju-t wanna
get them out of there. Emmetl's four years nld and Bi-a.
that short's for Beatrice, is gonna be two in three days.
My ma asked nn- why I namc-d em with such old people
names and I said. ".Ma. I liK>ked at em and
they had old eyes so I had to give 'em old
names." She just shiwk her head and called
me her crazy .Angel.
I lived with my ma for as long as I could
remember. She always said my dad was
someone I didn't have to remember cause he sure didn I
remember nie. Then one day she brought home Charlie
and suid he was my daddy She syjd I should be happv he
remembered us and that he had come home to take care
of us and to ain't give him no mouth
III never forget what he said when he met me. "^ ou'a-
such a beautiful .\ngel — 1 hope that you'll bring me to
the heavens " My girl |enny said that he didi. t sound like
no dad. and I goua say that it did sorta make my skin
crawl.
.Anyway. Charlie wa^ real gm>d to us for a little bit Mv
ma was always smiling, and we alway- "had fiK>d on the
table." like she said. Charlie always brought me home a
new dress or a chiKolate rabbit or a new set of stickers,
and he always gave me that sticky smile and touched me
on the shoulder
I don't know if Charlie is my real dad. but I hope he
ain't. Like I said, he was real nice up until he lost his job
and staitt-d fighting with my ma. She got herself a job and
wasn't home when I got home from schiK..I. but Charlie
was there. It all started out one day when I came home
crying cause I got a D on my math test, and I didn t want
my ma to find out. I knew she would give me a whooping
and so I kept on crying Charlie started to give me hugs to
make me feel better.
Next thing I knew, he was kissing me and pushing me
down on the couch. I tried to push him off but he s;iid.
"God dammit, your ma won't give me any. so I'll get it
where ever I can " I was si, scari-d and fell so diny that I
just sat there and cried When he was done, he got up and
said. "You don t need to be telling anyone about this
F.very daddy does this with hi- little girl, and vou don't
need to be telling the whole neigh bc>ihiH>d. If vou keep
this a secret. I'll keep yviur lest a secret."
I was so scared about the test. I felt so ashamed that I
didn't say nothing But Charlie just kept at it. everyday
until my K'lly started lo grow. My ma asked me who I
been sleeping with, and I juM -hviok my head no. I wasn i
gonna tell her. She wanted me to give that bab\ up. but I
said no. his name - I mmett and he s gunna stay with m<
She said I was cra/y. but OK. I was gonna have to take
care of it.
Charlie kxiked after limnietl while I wa-
.It school, but when I came home I could
-ee that he wasn't takin' care of him.
I.mmett would be- in the same diaper Id
left him in that morning and he'd be
screaming hungry When I aski-d Charlie whv he wasn't
takin care of Kmmett he just slapped me and called me
ungrateful Then he'd make me get im the couch That s
how I got Bea.
Again my ma asked me who I was sleeping with I
didn't answer her and she sbpped me and said. "Nou
know you're not suppiisi^J m he going out .Answer me!"
When I said. "They're Charlie s — they re both Charlie s!"
she slapped me again.
Don't vou dare say such things about your daddy
He's a giK>d man. You're just a little slut, and if that -
the way you wanna be-, you can just find another place to
live "
So that's how I came to be where I am now. doing
dates dovvn in Alphabet Citv My kids i> hving with my
ma and Charlie, and thev re startin to get big linmett is
startin' kindergarten ne\t year - he's real smart Beatrice
is startin' to walk. I can't ^ee em much as the court says |
ain t giHKJ for my kids, but I siv em when my ma takes
em lo the gnvery store.
Kmmett is nice and tall and Bea has got bright red hair,
but they still got those old eyes My ma wanted lo know
whv I gave em old people s names, and I said it wa-
cause they got old people s eyes But I guess ihal those
old people eye- come from the fact that Itn |ust a cra/v
angel thai got old eyes before I was old.

Underestimating the power of words
Letters to the Editor
Hate speech
discussed
To the Editor:
I assume that the decision to print Matthew Pugh's c-di
torial was made before this weekend's tragic assassination
of Israeli Prime .Minister Yitzhak Rabin However it is -ad
to find the only discussion of hate speech in the Collegian
was a plaintive whine from the right that the left is not
playing fair. It is very probable that hate specxh in Israel,
directed toward Prime Minister Rabin, played a large role
in the twisted reasoning of the deranged man who killed
him.
The Collegian's readers would have bi-en better served
by a call to end all speech that demi>nizes one's political
opponents, especially that which brands an opponent wor-
thy of death. While it is the nature of political discourse
for people to try lo repudiate the claims of opponents,
words and actions that call for harm to come to ones
opponent are beyond the pale.
I would commend Mr. Pugh's effort at calling to task
those individuals on the left who call for harm to befall
their opponents on the right. Or for u-ing bellicose words
that might lead a dysfunctional person to the thought that
violence is even called for or approved of. However. Mr.
Pugh chtKises not to use his opportunity lo call for an end
lo hate speech, in all its forms and from all its sources.
Rather he seems lo justify hale speech from the right by
citing hate speech from the lefi.
"The lesson that Mr. Pugh should have drawn from his
review of hate speech and recent history is thai hate
speech which dehumanizes y\iur opponents leads tn death
and destruclion. That was the lesson Timothv McVeigh,
lohn Salvi and Paul Hill had so recently laughl us. That is
the lesson that \ifu\ .Amir is teaching us now .

Possible harassment
poHcy disturbing
To the Editor:
Kor a year and a half the Univcrsilv and the CEO (with-
out involving undergraduates) have been working on a
harassment policy which would appiv to everybody
(including undergiaduaies). What thev have come up with
so lar is a printed document culled "Proposed Harassment
Policy." It is a ven disturbing paper, and we should not
let it become University policy.
The trouble starts with the cover letter. It is written to a
long list of people, including undergraduates, and it is
dated Sept. 20 194'), These two facts lead me to believe
these were going lo be mailed out. but a month and a half
later I still have not received my copy (However. I did
receive the bill for my computer account).
The first section of the proposal tells you that the pur
pose of the 12 page document is to prohibit harassment.
The next section is definitions, and this is where the fun
begins. Ouoiing the policy: "2) Harassment is defined as
verbal or physical conduct that a reasonable person, with
the same characteristics as the targeted individual...
would find discriminalorily the condition under which the
targeted individual iw group of individuals participate in
the activities of the University... '>) Verbal conduct may
include, but is not limited to... negative stereotyping...
|or| material that serves to harass..."
Several serious problems can be found in just this little
pan Pulling the pieces together, they defined harassment
as verbal conduct that serves to harass. This is equivalent
to saying that crime is something committed by a criminal.
>ou can see that negative stereotyping is prohibited. I
assume that positive stereotypes are still allowed, so
please tell me if the statement "blacks are good at playing
basketball" is a positive or negative stereotype.
The policy that would apply lo "all members of the
campus community." which includes the people who
leach the classes Then at the Kitlom of the page, it says
that these people can use whatever material they want,
even il it offends someone. Iliis is not the only place the
educated ('.') minds that produced this document contra-
dict themselves.
II you are accused of breaking the policy, then you have
a hearing The di>cumeni states that the hearing "is not a
court proceeding and the hearing panel will not be bound
by the prcKcduies and rules of evidence of a court of law."
The Fifth Amendment says that no person may "be
deprived of life, liberty or propc-rty without due priKess of
law." and the 14th Amendment says that no state can vio-
late the Eifih Amendment. So. although the federal and
state governments cannot take away our right to due
process of law. the University can.
There are many more problems with this document.
When the lime comes (there will supposediv be public
forums the week of Nov. 13) voice your dissatisfaction
with this proposal, or else next semester we will be in for
quite a shock (like mandatory harassment policy educa-
tion).

1 could not count on my fingers the amount of times I
have said things and after the fact have immediately
regretted saying them Im an anxious, talkative per-
son, and sometimes my mouth works quicker than my
mind, which explains why my mother has frequently said
to me throughout my life. "If you have nothing nice to
say. don't say it all."
As a writer. I have come to learn that words are one of
the most powerful things in this univei^se. Thev are con
slantly misusc-d and misinterpreted, and manv times are
thrown around without a second thought put towards
them.
There have been many times I have
written letters to people when I was
upset with something they have done,
and they would write me back
responding to me as if we were in a
fight. Evidently, my words were mis-
interpreted and read as if I were angry
at them, when I was only expressing
hurt, not any kind of anger.
A friend of mine once asked me
why I wanted lo be a journalist when
they constantly have to struggle with
reporting facts, and reporting them
through their eyes without bias.
loumalists do have a big responsi
bility in chcwsing the correct terms
within their writing. The words they
chiKise in a story to describe an event, or describe a per-
son, must be consciously chosen to be accurate. This
responsibility is the reason why politically correct terms
have come to exist and are extremely necessary.
People who say they are sick of political correctness,
especially at the University of Massachusetts, really don't
know what K" is. The term PC has been abusc-d. and has
come to be looked at as a negative term rather than a pos-
itive one.
I believe in freedom of speech, and if someone wants to
say something that is clearly either full of ignorance or
hatred and gets their kicks out of doing it, so be it. But
But those people need
to realize that using
politically correct words
is not just a matter of
being PC. it is a matter
of having respect for a
particular culture other
than their own.

those people need to realize that using politically correct
words is not just a matter of being PC, it is a matter of
having respect for a particular culture other than their
own.
This weekend. I was laying on my couch watching a
movie when a friend of mine, who is a lesbian, came in
and sat down next lo me She asked me what I was watch
ing and I replied, "Some gay movie." Immediately after I
said that. I felt my heart sink into my stomach and looked
up at her. She looked at me and said. "Some gay movie
huh"*"
I'm glad she didn't let me get awav
with saying what I said without real
izing my ignorant actions. I took a
word, and not only misused it. but
used it in the most negative way pos-
sible It is incidents like these that
make me realize the power of words,
and the way particular meanings of
them have been internalized into peo^
pie's vocabulary. And it is due to inci
dents like these (hat words need to be
presented to the public with a politi
cally correct definition.
I personally cant stand if when the
word (ap is thrown around i.'
describe all lewish females who hap
pen to dress and act a particular wav
as jewishness. Although the slander
iny not be aimed directly to me. it is sexist, and it
demeans the lewish female, which I am.
That night I felt the need to where a big "H" on mv
chest lor hypocrite. I am always advocating respect and
the use of PC terminology for the Jewish community, and
yet I didn t use it for the homosexual community at thai
moment. The woman did not hold what I said against me
and she didn't lecture me. but I'm still embarrassed. She
deserves respect, as everyone does. And this. PC bashers
IS the reason why this country needs to redefine and con
trol words and use.

Murderer one, America nothing
Right to breathe
clean air
To the Editor:
This is in response to leremy Hurewitz's article "A gov
eniineni smoke screen." which described Americas anti
smoking policies as unfair.
The author stated that. "In America, every tight assed
fiber eating health mil wants to criminalize lobacco and
convert us to their cult in which they all live to be 100. eat
rice cakes and evcrele pebbles with smiles of excitement
long absent from iheir gaum sagging cheeks."
The amusing images pnxluced by this statement do not
make up for its wild inaccuracy. The legislation banning
or limiting smoking in public places is justified. That
doesn't mean I want to criminalize tobacco. If people
want to smoke, that's their business. They have the right
lo enjoy cigarettes as long as they don't interfere with the
public's right lo breathe clean ait.
He compared current ami smoking legislation to the
government's criminalizing of marijuana W years agi>. He
stated that the studies and the surveys thai the govern-
ment cited were fabricated by the timber industry, which
feh Ihioalened by hemp's wide ranging possibilities. He
said lhal the government "played whore to big business
and big money."
I'his is quite plausible. However, his suggestion that the
goveninient is misleading the public the way il did 50 years
ago makes no sense Whal industry fabricated the studies
that show that second hand smoke is dangerous? Why?
Whal big business i. ihe govenimeni playing whoiv lo tixlay?
The list of big businesses ihal benefit from the use of
lobacco is endless A mountain of evidence shows that
lobacco companies knew second hand smoke was danger
ous and covered it up for decades, leremy Hurewitz's
argument doesn't support his position, il weakens il.
Tile govemtnenl i- protecting our right lo breathe clean
air ll is not taking away our right lo enjoy cigareltes.

God bless America, my home
sweet home. I had to weep
today, for yet another part of
my beloved country has been lost. It
was last spring in the quiet streets of
Chapel Hill. North Carolina when
tragedy struck not only the lacrosse
world, but a large pt)rtion of the east-
ern population.
Kevin Reichardt was riding his
bicycle through the University of
North Carolina on an otherwise nor-
mal day. What Kevin didn't realize
was that just up the road ahead
awaited a man armed with several
semi-automatic rifles. As Kevin
passed by. the man look aim, shot,
and sent Kevin tumbling lo the side-
walk. Severely wounded, Kevin tried
lo ciawl out of the
shooter's aim, but
was unable lo do so.
My friend Kevin
was shot again and
killed in cold-bl(KKl.
The people that knew him were
stunned. How could anyone kill
Kevin? He was the guy everyone
loved. He was Ihe type of young man
lhal every mother hoped their daugh-
ter would marry some day. He was
an honor student at Chapel Hill, a
member of Ihe varsity lacrosse team,
a tremendous contributor lo the com-
munity and an ail around wonderful
person.
He had touched so many lives. A
reflection of this was easily shown by
the thousands of people who attend-
ed his funeral, and the six to
seven-mile-long car line to the bur-
ial. The man that murdered Kevin
was a law student who also attended
Chapel Hill. Without a crack in his
voice or a tear of remorse, the mur-
derer confessed to the killing. His
motive was derived from the over-
whelming amount of stress associated
with being a law student.
On Nov. 8. 1995. Kevin's murder-
er was found not guilty by way of
temporary insanity, justice was not
served and America lost again. (O.).
and Menendez pun intended).
When will this country's judicial
system hold people responsible for
Iheir actions? When will we learn
lhal regardless of a person's state of
mind or mental capacity, ihey must
be punished for iheir crimes? It
seems that Americans
are more concerned
with the perpetrator
than the victim. Kevin
was murdered, but Ihe
murderer is a victim of
society and therefore we must let him
go?
This is an outrage. When is murder
not murder? I believe that part of
this glowing judicial blunder is a
direct result of the court's failure to
acknowledge the presence of the
Creator. It seems that the courts have
lost the moral capacity lo heed Ihe
simple divine law of "Thou Shall Not
Kill." There is no room for interpre-
tation in this law. Il does not state
"thou shall not kill, but if you're tem-
porarily insane then it's O.K."
Even though this country was
founded on the freedom of religion.
we seem to forget that all of the
founding fathers acknowledged the
presence of one higher law. "In God
we trust." "they are endowed by their
Creator." "Cod shed his grace on
thee (America)." We can not over-
look this fact. Americans are afraid
lo stand strong to a principle that
holds true for almost all religions. I
cannot begin to fathom how a judge
and jury could find this diabolical
murderer not guilty. I hope the blocxj
of their children will curse Iheir cow
ardice. for they have let a murderer
walk free.
He will walk and breathe the air in
this wonderful land as if nothing ever
happened. He is free to live the life
which young Kevin will never have
Never again will Kevin feel the warm
embrace of his father's arms; never
again kiss the cheek of his loving
mother; never again see the sun rise
or set: never pursue another dream:
never take another breath; never rest
in peace for justice was not served.
This is a splendid country in which
to live. No other place in the world
has been blessed with opportunity
like America. This is Ihe sweet land of
liberty, but she's in dire need of spiri-
tual healing. The integrity of her gov-
ernment, her military, her media, and
especially her judicial system is slowly
withering away. In the name of Kevin
we must fulfill our imperative duties
to uphold this country and the basic
divine truths she was founded upon:
lest all will be lost. God save
America, my home sweet home.

jWTerson Starship, an offshoot of Jefferson Airplane (seen here), will bring their authentic and chaotic style
to Pearl St. tonight. '
Starship to land at Pearl Street
By Robert Grovar
Collegion Correspondent
For more than 30 years Paul Kanicr has been flying
through the music scene, first in lefferson Airplane,
then in its successor the lefferson Starship.
Tonight he brings the latest incarnation of the
Starship, a quartet he which he calls the Acoustic
Shuttle Crafi, lo Pearl Street. The acoustic offshoot of
the main group consists of Kantcr on vocals/guitar,
keyboardist Gary Combra. new vocalist Diana
Mangano and veteran Airplane bassist lack Casady.
They come to town in support of iheir recent
release Deep Space/Virgin Sky and the recently
announced induction of lefferson Airplane into the
Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. The acoustic lour is an
annual event for the Starship and it offers a selection
of past favorite, new music poetry and the unexpected
all rolled into what Kanter called, "a celebrated
chaos.*
Chaos is not new to Kanier as his first band,
lefferson Airplane, was at the epicenter of the counter
cultural movement of the 1960s. Between 1965 and
1972 the Airplane provided the soundtrack for the
youth movement with eight albums thai mirrored the
times. Kanter said that. "Rock °n Roll should be dan-
gerous." Accordingly, he has never followed the pre-
scribed path of ruck stardom.
When Airplane finally landed in '72. Kanter didn't
remain grounded for very long. He recorded three solo
albums, two with former Airplancr Grace Slick. By '74
he had (along with Slick and Airplane co-founder
Marly Balin) assembled the band that would become
one of the most successful groups of the '70* —
lefferson Starship.
For ten years the Starship was more successful than
its predecessors. Siarship produced eight albums, had
six chart topper singles and sold millions of records. In
1984. Kanier left the group and pursued other inter-
ests including a fact finding tour in Nicaragua in '87,
but in '91 a renewed inieresi in song writing and per-
forming prompted him lo launch a new lefferson
Siarship.
If there has been a center to Kanler's music
throughout the years, it has been a constant message
of hope wrapped in a running commentary on
mankind's condition. Times have certainly changed
since he began writing songs and so his methods have
evolved.
"I learned no! to stand on a soapbox and shout at
people," he said.
Kanicr describes this Starship as. "post-Einstein, sci-
ence fiction, rock n' roll' all mixed together. While the
description is intentionally ambiguous, the messages
and urgent observation of the music is not.
Living in an age of artificially colored and Havored
chaos where simply dying your hair or piercing your
nose is viewed as dangerous, il is comforting lo know
lhal someone is still dealing with the genuine stuff.
lefferson Starship will play Pearl St. tonight. Call the
Northampton Box Office at 58t>-St>St for more infor-
mation.

Harper brings folk to the Valley
Musician cites variety of musical talent as influences
By Jason Flax
Collegian Staff
BENHAWa
Peorl Street
Ntev 10
NORTHAMPTON - Ask
26-year-old musical virtuoso Ben
Harper what folk music means to
him and he will tell you, "to me folk
doesn't mean somebody whining on a
banjo about a time they don't even
know about."
"The soul has been stripped of
American folk music, and it's up to
us to put the soul back in American
folk music, which is what were going
lo do." Harper continued.
Harper and his band The
Innocent Criminals did just that
Friday night when they hit the stage
at Peari Street. Harper, who .served
as his own opening act. played a
couple of numbers off of his newest
album Welcome To The Cruel
World. During "Power Of The
Gospel." Harper sang with such
power and conviction, the
mostly-seated audience seemed to
fall under the trance of Harper spir-
itual words.
Once back on stage with his band.
Harper began the real portion of his
set Opc-ning with the "Oppression."
Harper's simple acoustic strumming
rang as loud as any electric guitar
could.
Harper then went into an appro-
priate cover of "Get Up/Stand Up"
bringing the crowd to iheir feet The
talents of Harper and his band were
spotlighted in "Breaking Down"
from Welcome To The Cruel World.
Throughout the show Harper's bass
player and percussionist showcased
iheir solos winning the crowd over.
Even Harper had to stop playing
and dancing because his back up
music was so powerful on the hip
hop sounding "Fight For Your
Mind".
After playing most of the crowd
favorites such as "Whipping Boy."
"Gold To Me" and Ihe intimate
"Please Me Like You Want To."
Harper played the Hendrix tune
"Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" mak-
ing it all more apparent who his
influences are. Then he brought his
show to a close with "Burn One
Down," an a optimistic sing-along
which had the crowd chanting. "I can
make peace on earth with my own
two hands.'
On Friday night Klarper was as
intense, spiritual and true as ever.
Harper, whose voice and guitar play-
ing is so magical on record, is even
more effective live. Although he cites
Robert lohnson. Blind Willy lohnson.
limmi Hendrix, Bob MaHcy and Otis
Redding as influences, he still says.
"My mom is the greatest singer in the
world." But regardless of his musical
mentors, it was Harper who moved
the crowd.
Ben Harper entranced the crowd at Pearl St. on Friday night.

'Niners shock Dallas, move into a first place tie in NFC West
By Denne H. Freeman
Associated Press
IRV INC. Texas — The defending
Super Bowl champion San
Francisco 49ers aren'i dead, lusi
ask (he shocked Dallas Cowboys
after the crippled 14-point under-
dogs whipped them 58-20 Sunday
on their home field.
The 49ers. who had lost the last
two games, even moved into a tie
with St. Louis and Atlanta for the
leadership in the NFC West with a
b-4 record Dallas dropped to 8-2.
This was supposed to be a big
revenge game for the Cowboys
against the 49ers, who didn't have
quarterback Steve Young for a filth
straight week because of a shoulder
injury. It was a rout, jusi as many
pn-dicted. Only it was the Cowboys
who wea- outplayed and outcoachcd.
Second-string quarterback Elvis
Grbac and wide receiver jerry Rice
devastated Dallas on the game's first
possession.
San Francisco stunned the
Cowboys early, much as it did in the
NFC championship game when the
4<K.Ts built a 21 0 lead in (he first
b:25 of the game. The 4%.ts went on
to win 58-28 and eventually defeat
San Diego in the Super Bowl.
Rice slipped open behind line
backer Darrin Smith lor a slant pass
over the middle from Grbac and
steamed 81 yards lor a touchdown
on the second play of the game.
Rice confused the Cowboys by lin-
ing up in the slot and nobody could
catch him until safelv Darren
Woodson tackled Rice at the goal.
The 4')ers struck again 15 sec
onds later when Michael Irvin fum-
bled the ball away to Menon Hanks,
who scooped it up on the run and
dashed 58 yards for a touchdown.
Linebacker Rickey lackson inter-
cepted a pass off Troy Aikman at
the Dallas 27 and the 49ers cashed
the mistake into a 26 yard field goal
by leff Wilkins, a free agent who
was picked up during the week. It
gave San Francisco a 1 7-0 lead with
only 4:58 expired.
Marino sets record, but Pats win
By Sieven Wine
Associated Press
MIAMI — Two deflected passes
bounced New England's way, and the
Patriots spoiled Dan Marino's record-
setting day. Marino threw for 555
yards and broke Fran Tarkenton's
NFL career record for passing yardage
Sunday, but Ben Coales caught a pass
dellectcd by a teammate for the tie-
breaking score to help New England
beat the Miami Dolphins 54-17.
Marino's last chance to tie the
game ended early in the fourth quar-
ter when he caught his own pass —

his first career reception — for a 6-
yard loss on fourth down after the
throw was detlecled by Chris Slade.
Two late New England scores, one
following a Marino interception,
clinched the Patriots' first victory at
loe Robbie Stadium since 1988.
"We had some good fortune tcxiay,
but we played well," Patriots coach
Bill Parcells said. "That was by far
our best performance of the year."
New England improved to 4-6.
Miami fell to 6-4. one game behind
first-place Buffalo in the AFC East.
"We had high expectations coming
into today." Miami coach Don Shula
said. "We felt healthy and we were
playing well, but we didn't do it."
Marino completed 27 of 57 passes
and threw for two scores, but he was
intercepted twice and lost a fumble on
a sack to set up Coates' 8-yard score.
Bcmie Kosar replaced Marino for the
final three minutes of the game.
"Breaking Fran's record, one of the
all-time great passers, is something
special to me,' Marino said.
"Unfortunately, the thing is. you want
to A'in the games that you're playing
when you're breaking records."
Marino surpassed Tarkenton's
career record for completions earlier
this season, but Miami lost that
game. too. He needs three touch-
down passes to lop Tarkenton's
record of 542 in that category. While
the Dolphins had a record-breaking
quarterback. New England had rook-
ie Curtis Martin and veteran Matt
Bahr. Martin rushed for 142 yards
against the NFL's second-best run
Hi'fensc. and Bahr kicked two field
goals, including a 55-yarder, the
longest of his 1 7-year pro career.
Drew Bledsoe threw two touch-
down passes, increasing his total this
season to five A 47 yarder to Vincent
Brisby — Bledsoe's longest comple-
tion of the year — gave New England
a 1710 lead in the third quarter.
L^ter in the period came the scor-
ing pass that put the Patriots ahead to
stay On third down from the Miami
8. Bledsoe threw over the middle to
Dave Meggctt at the 4, and the ball
slipped through his hands to Coates.
who was a yard deep in the end zone
to give New England a 24- 1 7 lead.
"We practice that." Parcells joked.
"We work on it." "These things are
going to happen," Shula said. "We
have to overcome them."
The score came afier Troy Bamett
recovered a Marino fumble at the 7
forced by Willie MeCincst. Miami
tried to come back, driving to the Ni-w
England 29. But on fourth down.
Brown batted Marino's pass back to
the quarterback, and he was immedi
alely tackled for a loss by McGinesl.
The Patriots then mounted an
eight-play drive capped by Martin's
l-yard run. Bahr clinched the victory
with a 47-yard field goal afier Myron
Guyton's intea-cption.
The Patriots had failed to score a
touchdown in iheir past two games
versus Miami. Bui Martin scored
twice in the first 100 yard rushing
effort against the IX)lphins this year.
"Early in the week I said he wasn't
in the same class as Marshall Faulk."
said Miami defensive end |eff Cross.
"Ask me about him now."
Bahr gave New England momen-
tum with his 55-yard field goal,
which came on the final play of the
first half lo make the score 10-10.
"It's like a pitcher batting." said
Bahr. 59. "No one expects you to hit
it. so you just swing hard."
The kick followed Meggeit's 62-
yard kickoff return with 14 seconds
lefi. An ill-advised limeoul by Marino
one play before the kickoff gave New
England lime to score.

LeDuc and Karin Johnson flashed to the front of
the net to where they anticipated the ball landing,
as did Roiondi. It was LeDuc who won the race as
the bail glanced off her head, and in what seemed
like slow-motion, rolled into the far comer with
1 .4 ticks lefi on the clock.
"Unbelievable. Amazing," the Longmeadow
native said afier scoring her 12th game-winner of
her collegiate career. "I'm so happy we won. 1 think
I would have been scarred for life (if we lost J."
It was LeDuc's I8ih goal of the season. That
eclipsed Natalie Prosser's record for most goals in a
single season by a Minutewoman. The senior
downplayed her accomplishment. "The goals don't
matter." she said. "As long as we win."
From the get-go. UMass controlled the majoritv
of action outshooting the Hawks 7-5. Danielle
Dion didn't have to make a save in the UMass net
all half. Thai was not the case for Rotondi.
LeDuc. Lynch and Myers all had scoring chances
early in the contest while the Hartford netminder
turned them away, then caught a break when
UMass appeared to take the lead.
Johnson found Lynch streaking down the righi
Hank, and afier beating two Hartford defenders.
Lynch sent a shot to the far post. The low, line-drive
beat Roiondi. but Myers was offside on the play and
touched the ball before it crossed the goalline. nulli
lying the play. The called hack goal did not dampen
UMass' spirits, as the Minutewomen continucxi their
assault on the Hartford defense. Eight minutes later.
UMass got one thai counted.
On what seemed to be a harmless play, LeDuc
attempted a cross that was deflected b^ McKensie.
The Hartford defender header was intended to
clear the crassbar, but the wind played havoc with
the ball, and it dropped just under the bar. The
game then was lefi in the hands of a more than
capable UMass defense.
The winning formula lor UMass has been strong
play from the backtield of Lynch. Nikki Ahrenholz.
Erica Iverson and Amanda Thompson. The four
defenders kept the potent trio of Churma. Jessica
Reifer and Irene Slelling to just one quality scoring
chance in regulation. Unfortunately for UMass,
that one chance beat Dion in the final minute.
Reifer allemptc-d a pass that Iverson blocked, but
could not cunirol. Churma took the ball awav from
the sophoinore. turned, fired and deposited the bail
just inside the lefi post.
'I didn't even slop to look." Churma said. "I just
knew I had to get it close to the net and it went in.'
In the first extra session both teams exchanged
golden scoring opportunities, but Dion and
Roiondi were up to the challenge. During the sec-
ond overtime with the absence of Myers in the mid-
dle, Hartford nearly broke the lie.
Reifer took a pass out of the midfield and made
a run lo the top of the box. From there, she let go a
cannon that hit the right post fiush. sending the
ball straight back out in the pitch in front of Dion.
The ball was cleared away, but the Hawk halfback
would be heard from again.
With Myers hobbling in her return to action.
Reifer collected a loose ball 22 yards out and sent a
shot toward the UMass goal. Dion appeared to
lump loo early, but with her second effort, got her
fingertips on the ball, sending it just over the ctuss-
bar. which set the stage for LeDuc's heruics.
As the Minutewomen celebrated, the final chap-
ter of the Hawk's season had been written, and
UMass has at least one more scene in its script.

lake a lot out of any player,
including LeDuc. whose calves
started to tense up midway
through the second overtime f)eri-
od. But the Longmeadow native
wasn't about to let it affect her
game.
"That's what usually happens
during those tense situations, my
calves start to tense up." LeDuc
said. "But it was all or nothing at
that point, so I just went for it."
Watching LeDuc constantly
attacking the ball, one wouldn't
ihink that she was tired at all.
"I watched her out there, she
probably slid-tackled more than
any of our defenders did." Rudy
said.
"This I was) everyone's last
game on Garber Field considering
they're going lo build a new stadi-
um next year, and I knew this was
my last collegiate soccer game at
UMass. so it was all or nothing."
LeDuc said. "I Ihink I would have
been scarred for life |if we lost]
We totally dominated thai game."
The domination by the
Minutewomen was apparent, but
without LeDuc. it could have
went for naught.
'She has that knack. I'd like to
go back and see what we've had
for game-winning goals for her
career, it would be interesting."
Rudy said. "Sfje's just one mental-
ly lough kid. Anyway you sjx-ll it.
she's a winner, big-time winner.
She knows how lo win. She lays it
all out and when it's done, it's
done. Win or lose, you know

Alessio, like another running
back in the UMass backficid has
done in the past, downplayed his
record-setting effort, and was
inorc pleased with the victory.
"I'm glad we won this game, we
needed this game." Alessio said.
"We needed our sixth win. it guar-
antees us a winning season. I was
lucky today. They were stuffing
inside all day and a couple of long
runs, it adds up quickly. Nothing
fancy, it was just straight out run-
ning.'
Alessio's third touchdown of
the day, the 75-yard score, put
the Minutemen up 28-16. On the
very next drive. BU quarterback
Kevin Foley culminated a 55-yard
drive with a one-yard touchdown
to move the Terriers to within five
points. The Terriers had two more
drives, but were unsuccessful in
both attempts.

However, two of Alessio's three

first two quarters, thus giving the
Minutemen the momentum.
Boston University coach Dan
Allen saw one possible way his
Terriers, now 2-8 overall and 1-7
in YanCon play, could have beat-
en UMass.
"Maybe if we had a 12th guy."
Allen said. The Terriers offense
rode behind the arm of Kevin
Foley (brother Glenn is current
NY let quarterback), who com-
pleted 55 passes on 49 attempts
for 375 yards and a touchdown.
Sophomore lulian Dale also man
aged to rush for 102 yards on 25
carries.
But in a game of big plays, the
Minutemen had the edge.
"Everylime they earned a touch-
down, we just turned the ball
back with our oftense and found a
way to put it into the endzonc."
Modges said. "Every lime we gave
up a touchdown, we responded

Monday, Nov. 20th
9:00pin - 12:00am
BOSTON — Throughout the 1995
Massachusetts focuball campaign, the
Minutemen have based its offense on
running the ball. Each week, a
UMass running back will do some-
thing spectacular.
"We have had great depth in the
backfield all year long." UMass
coach Mike Hodges acknowledged.
"We bring a different guy in there
every time and we win. it seems
like.-"
Usually, it is senior Rene Ingoglia
who has done just about everything
possible in a four-year collegiate
career. He is a co-captain, the
all-time UMass and Yankee
Conference rushing leader, he holds
10 UMass records, and will be play-
ing in the Hula Bowl with the best
college football players in the country
— regardless of division.
In a nutshell. Ingoglia has rushed
for over 1.000 yards for the third
straight season and has 19 touch-
downs. The numbers speak for them-
selves.
Three weeks ago in a victory over
Lehigh, redshirt freshman Matt
lordan set a school record for yards
per carry. He carried the ball six
limes and amassed 174 yards, aver-
aging 29 yards per carry. With
Ingoglia graduating and pursuing his
NFL dream, a UMass football fan
can feel comfortable with Jordan fill-
ing the void left by the UMass leg-
end
In a game last season. Ingoglia
ran all over a Rhode Island defense
piling up an astronomical total of
515 yards. The number set a new
mark breaking the old record,
which stood for 42 years. Running
that many yards in a single game
would not enter the thoughts of any
back at any level. Saturday, junior
tailback Frank Alessio did the
unthinkable.
The Minutemen went to the turf
of Nickcrson field to face the
Boston University Terriers, in a
game between two differently styled
offenses. Each team possessed a key
ingredient which the other team
was looking to contain. UMass won
the battle, edging the Terriers
28-25 in front of the 6.095 in atten
dance.
BU boasts an excellent passer in
Kevin Foley (younger brother of for-
mer BC Eagle and current New York
let. Glenn Foley). Foley and the
Terriers had been averaging 280
passing yards per game prior to
Saturday, and the Minutemen
focused on stopping the aerial

assault.
UMass has the ground game, led
by Ingoglia.
"The ball was in the air all day and
when they do that, you will make
some plays," Hodges said. "The
defense hung in there and made the
plays we had to make."
With the Minutemen exp)ecting the
pass all day, BU looked to other
offensive options like its fullback
julien Dale. He often times caught
UMass off-guard and rushed for 102
yards on the day.
The Terriers zeroed in on Ingoglia
and were able to contain him. When
Hodges looked for other ways to get
downfield, he did not look to the
pass, he looked to Alessio. The junior
tailback responded by putting on a
show.
"I think they concentrated on stop-
ping one thing and it's tough to slop
all the weapons." Ingoglia said. "You
can take one thing away but it's hard
to take two things away. We got
Frank outside and he was off to the
races."
"We talked about putting Rene at
the tailback spot, but again. {X'ople
concentrate on him so much."
Hodges said. "They were sucking him
up in the middle, so we used the
option to Frank. We got it outside
and off you go."
Alessio touched the ball 21 times,
and the results were unbelievable. He
broke Ingoglia's school and Yankee
conference record rushing 557 yards.
He also scored three touchdowns,
which all came on long sprints to the
end zone. Alessio displayed his
jet-like speed on TD runs of 75. 76
and 84 yards.
"I have always said that records
were meant to be broken." Ingoglia
said. "I'm just glad a UMass guy
broke it. Let's keep those 500-yard
games in Amherst."
"I'm not big on numbers." Alessio
said modestly. "I was lucky today
because they were getting Rene up
the middle. A couple of long runs
and the numbers add up. When you
have a great offensive line, it's an
easy job."

looked to the Atlantic 10 tourna-
ment with high hopes.
Knowing the contest will take
place on the Minutewomen's
home court in the Curry Hicks
Cage on Nov. 24-25. shagging
balls on the sideline
Thanksgiving weekend was not
an option.
This weekend. UMass made
sure that this would not be the
case as the Minutcwomen
returned from an Ohio road trip
victorious, ensuring a spot in the
A- 1 0 Tournament .
The Minutewomen opened the
weekend with a win over Xavier
5-1 (16-14. 15-15. 15-9 and
15-15). This four-game match
was a switch from the last time
UMass faced the Musketeers,
when the Minutewomen
dropped them handily in three
straight games ( 1 5-8. 1 5-6 and
15-10),
UMass Coach Bonnie Kenny's
squad displayed its offensive con-
sistency again with three players
floating around the 20 kill mark
for the game.
junior outside hitter Giza
Rivera proved once again why
she is the offensive leader for
Massachusetts, posting an
impressive 20 kills on the
evening. Going the other way.
Rivera recorded 1 5 digs, a prime
example of her diversity on the
court. It is this offensive and
defensive intensity which Rivera
brings to the game that the team
has relied on throughout the sea-
son.
The Minutewomen's other
offensive gun junior outside hitter
Dionne Nash, who recently
became the first athlete in school
history to cam 1.000 career kills,
was right behind Rivera with 19
kills for the night.
Other UMass standouts were
sophomore Lesley Nolan with 18
kills and sophomore middle block-
er Michelle Paciorek with 1 1 kills.
The win dropped Xavier to
16-14 overall. 9-8 in the A-IO,
thus ensuring that the Musketeers
will not be returning to Amherst
until next year.
After sealing the fate of Xavier.
the Minutewomen needed a
Rhode Island victory over Dayton
on Friday, or a victory over the
Flyers (17-12 overall. 10-8 in
A- 10) themselves to guarantee a
spot in the A-10 Tournament.
They got both.
This meeting was won with as
much ease this time around as it
was earlier in the season, with
UMass sweeping again in three
games 15-8. 17- 15 and 15-5.
Senior middle blocker Rachel
Sky led the charge on all fronts for
the Minutewomen totaling 1 1 kills
on offense while leading the team
in digs (12) and blocks (Five).
Freshman setter Katie Pearce
controlled the ball well, earning
40 assists and 10 digs. As a new
player in the A-IO. she has proved
that she will be a force in the com-
ing years.
The weekend's victories earn
UMass an overall record of 25-10.
14-5 in the A-10. The only match
left for the Minutewomen is Nov.
16, when they will find themselves
staring through the net at the
A-10 leading Rhode IslaruJ Rams.
This match should be a great
warm up for the A-IO
Tournament which will consist of
Rhode Island. George
Washington. UMass and Virginia
Tech. This will be the last time
Massachusetts will have the
chance to hone its skills before the
tournament.
With the prospects of a
UMass/URI finals match-up. the
Minutcwomen will need lo play
hard.

Lack of respect fires up Minutemen
BILLERICA — Wh>-n t IVIacc I „..,.. ..J :.. n^.. ^. .. . „ .... ,
Monday, November 13, 199S / Page 9
BILLERICA — When UMass-Lowell tasted its first
kws of the season Saturday night, it also tasted some-
thing else, a big slice of humble pie.
Coming off a Friday night defeat of Mas.sachusetts
on the road, the River Hawks packed the house in
expectations of another defeat of their in-state rivals.
It didn't happen.
It all started with the pregame introductions.
'Now the starters for VMass-.Ammmhhhhent,' the
public address announcer said with ^____^^_
distaste usually reserved for Dan
Quayle and Brussels sprouts. He con-
tinued, deadpanning each of the six
starters names.
Switching to the home River
Hawks, however, the same public
address announcer suddenly became
that annoying PA guy for the
Orlando Magic.
"Starting for YOUR
UMass-Lowell River Hawks.* he bel-
lowed, "number eight
Brennnndaaaaaaaaaaaannnnn
Connnnnnnnnnccaaaaaaaannnon. "
What this Monster Truck-like
announcer neglected to realize that
however much this buffoonery fired
up the hometeam. he had an even
bigger effect on the visitors.
"That showed a lack of class on
that guy's part." said senior forward
Sal Manganaro. "It's just disrespect-
ful. It definitely got us fired up and
we came out and let "em have it."
So while the Lowell announcer
could talk the talk, it was the
Minutemen who walked the walk,
opening up a 5-0 lead on the stunned
River Hawks.
It would be like that all night long. Less than
halfway thmugh the second period. Lowell tough guy
Ed Campbell dumped Rob Bonneau on his backside
and gave him an earfull about it.
Ignoring him. Ronneau got back up. collected a pass
from Dale Hooper, beat Campbell and flipped it over
goaltender Martin Pillion for the ultimate payback.
The PA guy tried to do his part by begging the fans
for noise, but the loudest response he got was boos
when the River Hawks gave up the sixth UMass goal.
Matt Vautour
Goaltender Dave Kiiduff. who picked up a win in
his first outing of the season, chalked up the lack of
class to ol' fashioned envy.
"When they came to our building, we didn't ridicule
them in any way." he said. "They're jealous of us
because we have such a great program. We have such
a great building. We have great fans. We got great
everything and they're jealous of us. That's all that
was."
________^^___ The rivalry is enhanced this
year by the addition of some
hardware. This is the first year
that the Alumni Cup will be
awarded to the winner of the
season series between the two
clubs. The two teams will battle
for the trophy Feb. 10 at the
William D. Mullins Center.
"The cup was on the line
tonight." said junior forward
Rob Bonneau. who collected a
hat trick. "That was a big thing.
We were playing for some hard-
ware."
The hatred that UMass-Lowdl
has for the flagship campus is
deep seeded. Since the
Minutemen joined Hockey East,
the l^wcll fans and players have
complained that the word
Amherst doesn't appear any-
where on the UMass jerseys
As is traditional in all of the
HE arenas. banner« of each dif-
ferent conference institutions
hang in Lowell's Tully Forum.
All except one... UMass.
Lowell's insistence on being
called t'Wusi-Lowcll is almost hypocritical The front
of both the home and away jerseys display just one
word... Lowell. The same is true of the banner. Even
the cheerleaders use only Lowell in their cheers.
The UMass-Amherst players find the controversy
silly.
"They're always making a big deal out of it."
Manganaro said. "We don't make a big deal out of it.
because we are UMass and that's just the way its
going to be."

moves him into third place on the all-time Massachusetts
goal scoring list with 47 in his career. He needs three
more to pass Russ Kidd who is in second place. Pat
Keenan is the all-time leader with 105.
Bonneau also moved into sixth on the career point
chart with 84 in his tha'e years at UMa.ss.
• The seven-goal output ties the greatest goal produc-
tion by UMass against a Division I opponent {|an. 20 at
Providence).
• Sophomore Keith O'Connell and freshman Steve
MacKinnon saw their first action of the season Saturday
night. While O'Connell saw a regular shift and was used
as a penalty killer. VtacKinnon was used sparingly in his
first collegiate action. Both players were each as.scssed one
penalty.

UMass defeats Hawks in double overtime thriller
By Justin C. Smith
Collegian Staff
Massachusetts^
Haptford
H Steven Spielberg were to direct the perfect game to
end women .soccer> tenure at Richard F. Garber Field, it
would have tteen scripted almost exacti> how the NCAA
first round match t)etween Massachusetts and Hartford
played out on Saturday. For UMass fans, it was a good
thing it wasn't a Stephen King ending
After all but dominating the first 89 minutes of action,
the Minutewomen only had a one goal lead, then
Hanford's Stephanie Churma horrifyingly tied the game
with just 51.4 seconds remaining in regulation.
In the end. it was the
tfawks left trying to sleep
with the nightmare of los-
ing, as Rachel LeDuc's
game-winning goal with
less tttan rwo setiwxis left in
the st'tond i.i\ertime penod alKwed L'Mass to prevail 2- 1 in
front of l.>27. The win brought the Minutewomen's
record to 14-3-2. but more impt)rtantly. extended their
season lor at least one more week, as Sunday LMass will
travel to Storrs. Conn, to take on Connecticut.
Churmas goal, along with an injury to midfielder
Rebe>.ca Myers, could have broken the spirit of the
Minutewomen. but the resiliency of co-captain Rachel
I.eOuc was paramount in a div-or-die game.
"It was all or nothing." LcDuc said. "Midway through
the second overtime mv calves started to tense up. tnit it
was all or nothing at that point and I just went for it."
AK'ut hallway through the second extra session, Myers
strained her hamstring attempting a shot on Hartford'N
goaltender Danielle Rotondi The play evoked memories
of la^i year'>> NC.\.\ tournament loss to the Hawks.
"We had controlled most of last year's match." Rudy
said "When Becca went down last year, that's when it
got awa\ from us."
Myers returned, and it was her presence, as well a^
LeDuc's flare for the dramatic, that led to the winning goal
"We knew she wasn't going to stay out." Lynch said
"We knew she'd be right back in giving everything she
had"
With less than 50 seconds remaining in the second
overtime. Hawks defender Michelle McKensie cleared the
ball out of the Hartford goal mouth. Myers won a air ball
over a Hawk midfielder and Krin Lynch collected on the
right wing Lynch settled the ball and lofted it to the top
of the crease.

Rachel LeDuc does it again
By Condice Fiemming
Collegian Staff
D*YMION SMITH COtUGIAN
Rachel LeDuc's goal that advanced Ulvlass to a sec-
ond round match-up with UConn was her 12th
game-winning goal of her career.
Hartford had just tied it with only
51 seconds to go in Saturday's
NCAA first round game at Richard
F. Garber Field, and the momentum
had shifted.
The Hawks, who seconds earlier
seemed to t>e as giKxl as dead, were
now hopeful and full of life. The
Minutewomen. who were in com
plete control of the game only sec-
onds earlier, now KK)ked lost.
Senior forward Rachel LeDuc.
however, didn't look lost.
"It was like a morgue jon the side-
lines), except for Rachel LeDuc. who
was frothing at the mouth, talking to
herself. I think she was barking."
Massachusetts coach |im Rudy said.
"I didn't want to get close to her. she
was just beside herself. There was
steam coming off of her. She looked
like an aberration."
LeDuc seemed ready to take mat-
ters into her own hands, just like she
had so many other limes in her illus-
trious career. So she went out and
did what she has done seven other
times this season — win the game.
In 14^1. she's already beaten St.
Bonaventure. George Mason. Texas
A&M. Fordham. Cornell and George
Washington — twice.
So many times in her career.
LeDuc has won the big game. In
1992. it was in the first round of the

ing at that point, so I
just went for it. "

NCAA Tournament where against
Connecticut she scored the game-
winner with 5:'>9 left in the second
overtime. propelling the
Minutewomen to a 2- 1 victory.
In 199'5. it was in the NCAA
Northeast Regional final where yet
again she broke LConn's back. This
lime she scored the lone goal to win
the game lor the Minutewt)men and
send them to the Final lour.
So with 1.4 seconds to go in the
match against Hartford. LeDuc made
history again.
Retjecca Myers started it all with a
header up to the right side of the
field which Erin Lynch controlled
and then served to the goal. Both
LeDuc and Karin Johnson collided
going for the tiall. but it was LeDuc
who dove and got her head on it.
projecting the ball past Hartford
keeper Danielle Rotondi and giving
UMass the thrilling victory.
"I knew we only had about 10 sec-
onds left in the game and I saw F.rin
breaking down the flank," LeDuc
said. "So I tried to stay out wide to
make a run to the near post and I
was a little to far out. so I had to dive
to make the header and it went in. If
I didn't make it. Karin would have
been right there to put it in. So it
was a sure shot, a perfect cross by
Erin."
LeDuc's game-winner was the
12th of her career, tying the old
UMass record of 12. held by April
Kater and Nicole Rotwrts. Her eighth
game-winning goal of the season
broke the previous UMass record of
seven, held by Kim Fynard (1992)
and lolieDePauw (1984).

Hockey splits weekend series with UMass-Lowell

"In the first two weekends of Hockey

tal step for us," he said.

The win improves the Minulemen to
4-1 on the season. 3 1 in HiKkey East.
UMass is tied for the Hockey F^ast lead for
fewest losses as no school in the confer-
ence is undefeated.
The win was big in terms of rivalry

"I told Robby that I don't think he

Mallen said. "1 think as a result of that he
came out with a lot of jump in his legs and
a lot of smarts around the net."
Sal Manganaro added two more as the
two players continue to sit atop the
Massachusetts scoring chart. Sophomore
Brad Norton got his first collegiate goal in
the game as well.
Senior goaltender David Kilduff got his
first start of the season and responded
with a solid performance making 57 saves.
Lowell cut into the early
Massachusetts lead, but
never got closer than three
goals.
Lowell coach Bruce
Crowder was frustrated
after the loss.
"Tonight, their forwards played belter
than our forwards. Their defcnsemen
played better than our defensemen. Their
goalie played better than our goalie, and
their coach outcoached our coach,"
Crowder said.
* * *
The Minulemen displayed an impres-
sive knack for cutting into deficits on
Friday night, but in the end UMass ran
out of time, as the Riverhawks prevailed
7-5.
Neil Donovan provided the spark for
Lowell with four goals in the contest,
including the two biggest goals of the
game.
After Massachusetts had battled back
from being down 5- 1 . knotting the game
at three towards the end of the second
period. Donovan beat UMass goalie Brian
Regan to take some momentum into inter-
mission.
That momentum carried into the third
pericxl. when Donovan scored again less
than a minute in. giving Lowell a lead
UMass couldn't recover from.

Alessio sets record
in UMass' victory
By Andrew Bryce
Collegian Staff
Massachusetts 28
Boston Univ.
See Related Story, page 8
BOSTON — Massachusetts junior tailtuck Frank
Alessio was walking off Nickerson Field immediate-
ly following the Minutemen's clash with Boston
University on Saturday afternoon, seemingly having
a difficult time getting back to the lockeroom.
There were sporadic hugs from family members
and those Minuteman fans who made the drive to
watch the game. There was another embrace from
athletic director Bob Marcum. There were congratu-
latory remarks and
compliments. Alessio
was having a tough
time finding holes
toward the locke-
room as the admirers
were approaching
him.
How surprising, since the 5-foot 7-inch tailback
blew straight past the Boston University defense
with more ease and greater speed for a Yankee
Conference record 357 yards just minutes before,
leading the Minulemen to a 28-23 victory.
Irony came into play as the conference record
Alessio broke was a 5 1 3-yard effort by teammate
and fellow backfield male Rene Ingoglia, who did it
against Rhcxie Island on Oct. 1. 1994. Truly ironic,
though, was how the Terriers' plan looked to stop
the All- America Ingoglia (27 carries, 88 yards) from
having that type of game, knowing the Minutemen
(6-4 overall, 3-4 in YanCon) are particularly effec-
tive with him leading the way.
"They played an extra man inside." said
Massachusetts coach Mike Hodges. "That opened
up our outside game and we took what they gave
us."
The game was played on the Terriers' home turf
of Nickerson Field. By the end, though, the 6.095 in
attendance came to the realization the turf belonged
to Alessio. For the amazing 337-yard total, Alessio
carried the ball 21 times for an average of 16 yards
per carry.
It wasn't that he reached the endzone three times
— it was the way he did it. Alessio scored an
84-yard touchdown, along with a 76-yarder and a
75-yarder.
"This guy, he loves the turf, I've got to admit
that," Hodges said. "He had a twinkle in his eye
when he went out there, maybe because we prac-
ticed in ankle-deep mud all week. Coming down
here, and he feels like he's got great wheels, 1 guess,
because he sure does.
"That's an awful nice feeling when he breaks the
line of scrimmage to just start looking for clipping
penalties because you know nobody's going to

midnight Monday of most of the gov-
ernment's spending authority.
"We're willing to go down and
talk to the president about how to
keep the government open," House
Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., said.
"He set no preconditions. We set no
preconditions "
The late-night drama with congres-
sional leaders began after Clinton
vetoed a temporary spending bill to
keep the government operating.
"This legislation would raise
Medicare premiums on senior cHtizens
and deeply cut education and environ-
mental programs as the cost for keeping
tfie government running." Clinton said
Earlier Monday. Clinton vetoed
another emergency bill to extend the
government's ability to borrow
money beyond its expected expiration
Wednesday. Treasury Secretary
Robert Rubin look immediate steps
to raise cash and prevent a first-ever
default, which could cause financial
tumult
White House press secretary Mike
McCurry said Senate Majority Leader
Bob Dole and Gingrich had "reached
out to the president,"
"They must have something new to
say," McCurry said
Alto attending the Monday night
Oval Office meeting with Clinton
were House and Senate Democratic
Leaders Dick Gephardt and Tom
Daschle.
In vetoing the bill to extend the
government's ability to borrow
money, Clinton said the GOP budget
priorities attached to it would "rob
the American dream from millions of
Americans "
Anticipating the vetoes, aggression-
al leaders planned to keep the House
and Senate in session until midnight or
later in case the president and
Republicans couW find middk- ground.
But with most agencies' power to
spend money set to expire at the start
of business Tuesday, failure to break
the political deadlock meant that
800.000 federal civilian employees —
40 percent of the workforce — could
be sent home, the first federal shut-
down in five years.
Alice Rivlin, director of the Office
of Management and Budget, told
heads of federal agencies to have
their employees report for work as
usual Tuesday morning. If it looks
like a temporary budget measure
acceptable to the president will clear
Congress on Tuesday, agencies will
operate normally If the prospect for
such legislation is dim, the White
House will initiate the partial shut-
down.
Government shutdouni could
hit pocketbooks of taxpayers

AMOcioladPrws
WASHINGTON — About
800,000 workers stay home. No
one answers the IRS hot line or
fives White House tours. Even
garbage collection pauses in the
nation's capital. Sounds like a gov-
emmeni shutdown would save the
United States some money.
No. it would probably cost mil-
lions. Even hundreds of millions.
Shutting down the elephantine
U.S. government isn't cheap or
easy. For one thing, many jot» —
from manning military bases to
cooking for the president — are
considered tcx) important to sus-
pend. So 60 percent of the 2.1
million civilians in the federal
work force would rnnain on the
Job.
Employees whose work isn't
considered etteniial, Including
those who answer calls to the IRS
and Social Security hot lines and
staff museums and monuments,
would be sent home. But tradi
tionally, Congress has awarded
them back pay for time missed
through no fault of their own.
That means taxpayers pay for
work that wasn't done.
The government also loses
money it would have made from
uncollected fees and fines, gift
shop sales at museums, camping
fees at national parks and other
sources. And there are late charfes
if the government fails tu pay its
bills on time.
So when Congress and the pres-
klent deadlock over how to spend
tax dollars, they end up spending

That's nothing.

Peres determined to restore
'restraint, civility' to Israel
MassPirg mobilizing to help pass Rivers Act
By Don Perry
Associated Press Writer
TEL AVIV, Israel — Israel handed
over the West Bank town of lenin to
PLO rule a week early Monday, in a
sign of Prime Minister Shimon Peres'
determination to pursue and even
accelerate his slain predecessor's
peace policies.
Peres met with his main right-wing
rival Monday and the two promised
to restore "restraint and civility" to
the bitter political debate that cost
Yitzhak Rabin his life.
Thousands of Palestinians lined the
streets of lenin to welcome arriving bus-
loads of PLO troops as Israel's army
pulled out under the autonomy accord
that Rabin signed with Yasser Arafat in
September at the White House.
The move indicated Peres may press
even more vigorously than Rabin
toward a final Palestinian settlement
and peace with Syria. That could
require Israel to give up the strategic
Golan Heights, captured in a 1%7 war.
"We must continue with the peace
process. This is what Yitzhak want-
ed," Peres told the Knesset, Israel's
parliament, at a special session to
honor Rabin. "We will make a deep,
truthful decision,"
Addressing a plenum that was full
except for Rabin's empty seat, Peres
said: "Only a difficult choice for our
generation will (enable) a democratic
and (ewish Israel for the next."
"There is no peace for free."
A unanimous vote by more than
1 ,000 members of the ruling Labor
Party's central committee gave Peres
the go-ahead Monday evening to
form a new government.
Finance Minister Avraham Shohat
said Peres, widely seen as the true
architect of peace with the
Palestinians, is "the best qualified
person the Labor Party has."
Peres was likely to promote
Interior Minister Ehud Barak to for-
eign minister, the No. 2 position in
the Cabinet, party sources said.
Barak, a popular and articulate for-
mer army chief who is Israel's most-
decorated soldier, would give the
Peres Cabinet the kind of security
credentials that enabled Rabin —
who led Israel's army to victory in
1967 — to take risks for peace.
Peres has strong political support
for his return to the position he held
in 1984-1986. Even the Likud oppo-
sition has pledged tacit consent when
he presents his government to the
Knesset.
Rabin's slaying sparked an out-
pouring of national grief and, accord-
ing to polls, at least temporarily gal-
vanized public support for the peace
process and the government.
On Sunday night, about 250,000
Israelis gathered in the newly-renamed
Yitzhak Rabin Square in Tel Aviv,
where he was gunned down at a rally
Nov. 4, to sing peace songs and honor
the warrior-tumed-peacemaker.
Right-wing leaders had branded
Rabin a traitor and oppressor for
trading land for peace, leading to
charges they inspired his assassin.
After the killing, they took pains to
tone down the rhetoric.
"This debate must continue for the
sake of Israeli democracy, but ...
within the bounds of restraint and
civility." Likud head Benjamin
Netanyahu said Monday after meet-
ing with Peres in lerusalem.
Netanyahu said extremists like
confessed assassin Yigal Amir have
"nothing to do with the mainstream
political parties in Israel."
Amir will be charged with first-
degree murder within 10 days, Israel
television reported Monday.
Amir insists he acted alone when
he killed Rabin. But police suspect he
was part of a group that plotted the
assassination for more than a year. Al
least six suspects in addition to Amir,
all religious men in their 20s, are
under arrest.
On Monday, a Tel Aviv judge
ordered 25-year-old Ohad Skomick,
a friend of Amir, held for three more
days. Police said Skornick knew
about the plot to kill Rabin and
expressed approval. Skornick's
lawyer insists his client did not take
Amir's talk of killing the premier
seriously.

The Amherst branch of MASSPIRG is mobiliz-
ing its efforts against state representative Thomas
Finneran (D- Mattapan), who is providing an
obstacle in their efforts to see the passage of the
Massachusetts Rivers Act. The bill has been stalled
in the Means and Ways Committee for the last five
years.
The bill would create a "buffer zone" of 1 55 feet
along the rivers in the state, where all construction
would be restricted. The intent is to prevent ero-
sion and the seepage of chemicals into the water.
These buffer zones provide a filter for pesticides
that run from developments, or a non- point
source, where it is carried to the banks and info
the river.
The bill also provides for a limitation of addi-
tions to buildings lying within the buffer zone up
to 25 percent However, cities with populations of
75,000 or more are exempt from these restrictions.
Environmental groups cite this as a necessary com-
promise to gel the bill passed.
MassPirg is feeling the crunch of a Nov. 1 5
deadline for Finneran to approve the bill If he
does not do so by that time. House government
goes out of session and the bill remains inactive
until lanuary. Governor William Weld has said
that he would sign it when it reaches his desk.
However, it is up to Finneran to put it before
him.
Paige Skiba, a member of the Amherst chapter
of MassPirg, said that 68 percent of the rivers in
Massachusetts are polluted, meaning the water is
not fit for fishing, swimming or drinking. Four mil-
lion residents get their water from these bodies of
water.
Skiba and her group have been "working very
hard" to change Finneran's mind. From a table
on the Campus Pond, they collected approxi-
mately J75 messages written on yellow paper
ducks, trying to convince the representative to
okay the bill. The ducks were then sent to
Finneran's office.
Amy Bartlett, also a member of MassPirg, said
the reason why Finneran is turning a deaf ear to
their environmental concerns is due to a conflict of
interests.
"He doesn't feel environmental issues are a pri-
ority," Bartleit said. "He supports the businesses
and malls which build on the banks."
MassPirg attended a rally on the steps of the
Statehouse on Oct 25 in support of the bill's
passage. Bartlett said the yellow ducks were
noticed and made them feel as if their efforts had
paid off. MassPirg also continues lo write letters
to the editors of various newspapers, including
the Optimist. Union News and Hampshire
Gazette.
MassPirg's lay Rasku said there is more than
enough support to pass the bill, however it remains
deadlocked with Finneran.
"Enough petiple rectjgnize its importance," Ra.sku
said. "As the rivers have gotten worse over the past
five years, more representatives support it."
Rasku and his group urge people to call
Finneran's office and their own local representa-
tives to call attention to the bill's importance.
"This is the biggest assault on Finneran at one
time," Rasku said. "There's still a chance He's
feeling the pressure."

ber al the State House is (bl 7)722-2990

Red ribbons spread awareness
By Eiso Alien
Collegian Corresponderrt
In an effort to help save lives this
holiday .season, the ffampden County
chapter of Mothers Against Drunk
Driving (MADD). has kicked off their
Project Red Ribbon "Tie One On For
Safety" campaign.
Through this campaign, thousands
of red ribbons are distributed to
motorists in area communities to pro-
mote sober driving during the holiday
season. Motorists are encouraged to
tie a ribbon to their car to display
their awareness of the dangers of
drunk driving.
In the United States in 1994 nearly
1 7.000 people were killed in alcohol
related crashes, 1,771 of those deaths
occurred between Thanksgiving and
New Year's Eve. MADD created
Project Red Ribbon to serve mainly as
a holiday awareness program, and
today the program has become
MADD's largest public awareness
campaign.
Since 1984. there has been a 50
percent decrease in alcohol related
traffic fatalities, but MADD members
still feel there is a need for wide-
spread awareness, especially during
the holidays.
"While statistics are enlightening,
we must remember each person who
was either killed or injured as an
unique and irreplaceable individual
with a name, a family and dreams
that must now go unfulfilled," said
chapter president Barbara Griffin.
"Each represents far more than a
faceless number or statistic to his or
her family and friends, who are now
caught in the tragic ripple effect of
grief and despair set off by a drunk
driving crash."
MADD's Hampden County
Chapter said they would like to see
red ribbons on every car in
Hampden, Hampshire and Franklin
counties. Last year the group dis-
tributed over 66.000 red ribbons,
and this year, only a few days into
the campaign, there were requests

Yeltsin recovering from illness
Opponents worry election may not take place on time
By Vlodmir Isochwikov
Asiocioled Press
MOSCOW — President Boris
Yeltsin increased his workload in
the hospital Monday, and tried to
counter the latest political rumors
by vowing that elections will go
ahead as scheduled. Yeltsin held
several official meetings and
phone conversations from the hos-
pital room where he is recuperat-
ing from a heart ailment, officials
said.
The president's work schedule
now "practically corresponds" to
his daily routine in the Kremlin,
said presidential spokesman Sergei
Medvedev.
Yeltsin, 64. is not expected back
at work in the Kremlin before
December. His aides have released
few details of his illness. In addi
tion to close aide Viktor llyushin.
who has been a regular visitor, the
president met Monday with three
top assistants he hadn't seen since
he was hospitalized Oct. 2b with
his second bout of heart trouble in
four months, the Interfax news
agency reported.
On Monday. Yeltsin discussed
the election campaign and other
issues with chief of staff Sergei
Filatov, political adviser Gcorgy
Satarov and Vladimir Shevchenko.
his chief of protocol.
Parliamentary elections are
scheduled for Dec. 17 and cam-
paigning is heating up. Presidential
elections are to follow in iune.
Speculation has increased that
the vole may be delayed. Several
lawmakers, claiming the current
election law violates the constitu-
tion, have filed an appeal to the
country's highest court. The court
is expected to lake up the issue
later this month. Both Filatov and
Satarov told Interfax that the presi-
dent wants the elections to proceed
as scheduled.
Despite Yeltsin's statements,
there is widespread speculation
that members of his inner circle
may try to delay the presidential
election to keep Yeltsin in power.
Other reports say lop aides
have lobbied for the parliamen-
tary vote lo be postponed for fear
that hard-liners could score a
sweeping victory. Current polls
show the Communist Party in first
place.
Yeltsin has said he will announce
after the parliamentary election
whether he will run again for presi-
dent.
On Tuesday. Yeltsin was expect-
ed to meet with visiting
Kazakhstan President Nursulian
Nazarbayev, Medvedev said.

long Columbus Day holiday weekend, when most offices
were closed anyway A similar shutdown on three week-
days would cost $240 million to more than $600 million,
the GAO estimated in 1991 , counting only the toll on the
government's 22 largest agencies.
"The costs would likely be considerably higher today."
said (ohn Tavares. an analyst who worked on the 1991
repon.
How much? No one knows. There's just not enough
information to guess, Tavares said: "Nobody's crazy
enough to try it."
Shutdowns occur when Congress and the president
can't agree on legislation to extend the spending authority
of government agencies. For most federal agencies, that
spending power was set to expire at midnight
It's happened on a sweeping scale four limes since
1980. when a U.S. attorney general's opinion made clear
that the agencies couldn't keep spending money without
official permission. The 1 990 shutdown was the only one
not resolved within one day. But this time, the disagree
mem is especially bitter.
Several people who braved a cold drizzle Monday to see
the museums and monuments along the National Mall
weren't happy with the impasse between Clinton and con-
gressional Republicans.
"It's ridiculous and very childish." said Janice Morse of
Lake Worth. Fla.. who arrived Sunday night and was
■ ribbon
angry that the shutdown might spoil her four-day visit.
"I'm trying lo see all I can today," said Morse, who had
raced through three Smithsonian museums and was head-
ed to a fourth by midday.
As the deadline lor compromise drew nearer, museum
volunteer Esiclle Keren told tourist after tourist that she
didn't know whether the Smithsonian would be open
Tuesday.
"I think it's a bunch of politics,' Keren said from
behind the information desk at the Museum of Natural
History. "Sickening politics."
Anxious would-be travelers packed passport offices
Monday.
"I've planned on spending the whole day here," said
Dianna Castro of Culver City as she waited in a passport-
application line that stretched outside and around a cor-
ner at the federal building in downtown Los Angeles.

Six dead in Saudi bombing
By Adnan Malik
Associated Press
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — A bomb ripped through a
building filled with American and Saudi military person-
nel on Monday, tearing off the facade and engulfing the
wreckage in flames. Six people were killed, including five
Americans.
At least 60 people were wounded, including more than
50 Americans. It was not clear whether the attack was
aimed at the Saudis, the Americans, or both.
Two groups claimed responsibility for the attack, but
neither could be verified, said Raymond Mabus. U.S.
ambassador to Saudi Arabia.
One group was the little-known Islamic Change
Movement, which demanded last spring that Western
forces leave Saudi Arabia or it would "exert all available
means to evict these forces." The second group was the
previously unknown Tigers of the Gulf. Saudi Arabia, the
world's biggest oil exporter, has been a close ally of the
United Slates for decades and the two countries have
extensive military ties. Some Muslim fundamentalists
oppose the presence of the U.S. military and other
Western forces in Saudi Arabia, home to Islam's holiest
shrines.
While open opposition to the ruling al-Saud family is

The U.S. Fmbassy spokesman. |eff Thomas, said
late Monday the death toll among Americans had
risen to five after one of the critically injured victims
died in the hospital. He said a number o( Americans
were listed in critical condition, but gave no specific
figures.
F^rlier. a Pentagon official in Washington, speaking on
condition of anonymity, said 34 Americans were injured
and some were taken to hospitals.
Another Pentagon official said two of ihe dead
Americans were non-commissioned officers in ihe U.S.
Army.
King Fahd convened his Cabinet, which "expressed its
condemnation of this criminal act. which is foreign lo
our society, beliefs and religion." the Saudi Press Agency
reported.
President Clinton pledged to "devote an enormous
effort" to bring those responsible to justice, calling il "a
hideous act" of terrorism. A dozen FBI agents and e\i
dencc specialists were being sent to Saudi Arabia to help
with the investigation.
Mabus said the blast was caused by "an explosive
device." "We are outraged by this act." he said.

WASHINGTON - The Supreme
Court today refused to kill a lawsuit
in which black and Hispanic prison
inmates in New York say denying
them the right to vote in political
elections illegally dilutes the clout of
all minority voters in the state.
The justices rejected an appeal by
New York Attorney General Dennis
Vacco aimed at squelching the
inmates' 1993 lawsuit, which con-
teixls that denying them the vote vio-
lates the federal Voting Rights Act.
US. District ludge Vincent
Broderick threw out the class-action
lawsuit filed by nine minority inmates,
but the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals reinstated it last May.
The appeals court noted that the
inmatc-s' contention that denying them
the vole has a "disproportionate effect
(by) diluting the voting sla-ngth of all
minorities includine ihose law abidine
or otherwisc-unincarceraled minority
citizens who are registered to vote."
The appeals court said that claim
was enough to qualify for a potential
Voting Rights Act violation, and sent
the inmates' case back to ludge
Broderick for further sludv.

Of clown heads and e-mail
Thorc is a force out there which has been destroy-
ing our way of life for decades now. It has been
eating awa> at the very foundation of our social
institutions, and we have hardly taken notice. The
enemy is not considered a menace to society like com-
munism or racism. In fact, we have welcomed it with
open arms. It is technological advancement in the name
of convenience: replacing people .^_^^_^^_^__
with machines and otherwise
destroying the social interactions
which make our lives so interesting.
If not brought to a hall, this move-
ment could alter considerably the
very concept of what it means to be
human
Why ex'en leave your
room? I'll tell you why.
Wheti your best friend
is a hunch of wires and
lained for weeks. You can shop. mail, read a book or even
gel a date over the inlernet. Why even leave your room?
I'll tell you why. When your best iriend is a bunch of wires
and circuits. I think it is safe to say that you may have a
problem.
Technological advances have a way of sucking people
in. Most will come in the name of convenience. They
^^^^— ^— — don't take the lime to consider what
is happening to them each lime they
deal with a machine instead of a
live person. People are more and
more often turning what used lo be
social exchanges with other people
into interactions with machines. \Ve
are becoming dependent on them

quite innocently. People hardly
noticed when they had lo start giving
their fast food orders through a
clown's head instead of a cashier.
Here were grown adults talking to an
inanimate object, a ridiculous object
at that, not even seeing what they
were doing as absurd. Yes. there was a living, breathing
human somewhere behind the clown head, but the
precedent of talking to things not human was esiab
lished.
Then came answering machines. Answering machines
look the concept of talking lo an inanimate object even
farther, because there was no person behind them. Once
people started talking lo these machines, there was no
turning back. The fact most of us are now comfortable
leaving messages on them, and actually rely on them,
shows how machines have established their importance in
everyday life.
Nowadays, there are new culprits. One group of such
culprits is .ATM machines. Let me tell you a story about
a particular one. A few days ago. I needed to gel some
money. I went to an ATM ihal was built into the front
of a bank. Even though the bank was open and there
were no lines in front of the lellers. I waited to use the
ATM. The poor tellers were bored. Wondering why I
was wailing. I realized I was actually more comfortable
doing business with a machine l^un an actual person.
Thai truth, while sickening, is the very root of the prob-
,<em.
The same can be said of today's computers. The typical
computer has enough fun on it lo keep a person enter-
When you interact with certain
people every day you tend lo absorb
some of their habits Unfortunately,
many are becoming more like iheir
computers. I have a friend who
inimediaiely upon learning some-
one's name asks for their password.
It's really quite sad. The worst pan is thai while jvople
are becoming more like their computers, their computers
are becoming more human.
In the future. I can see computers not only making the
calculations of today, but dominating every facet of our
lives. Out of human pride, we ought to try and reverse
this trend. While certain machines may make life easier,
ihey do little in the way of actual gratification. An ATM
may be able to print "Have a nice day." on a receipt, but
when was the last time you saw an ATM smile while it
printed'.' On the inlernet :-l may represent a smile, but it
falls far short of the one you can gel from a real live per-
son.
I'm not trying lo say computers and ihcir mechanical
friends are bad. It's just the idea of losing certain aspects
of our humanity to them disturbs me. In order to slop Ihe
process certain steps must be taken. While these steps may
be more difficult and lime consuming, they will also be
more gratifying.
Write a letter. Engage in a discussion with someone
you've never met before. Gel off that stupid internet and
socialize, damn it! Smile at strangers and lei them smile
back. Ii may just lead you to something you've never had
before — a life.

Caucus represents sexist attitu(des
Lisa
Chiu
On Nov. ». 1995, two while
male senators from the
Student Government
Association proposed a motion that
read:
Whereas. Title II. Chapter 3. Section
4 of the SGA Constitution &
By-Laws slates: "The Senate shall,
upon a majority vote of its member-
ship in altendance at a scheduled
meeting, provide for the procedures
tor the creation of a caucus," and
"Whereas, women students are
underrcpresenled in the
Lindergraduale Student Senate.
Be It Resolved, that the
Undergraduate Student
Senate support the cslab-
lishmenl of a Woman's
Caucus."
The presenter of this motion said he
was representing his constituency. He
said a woman approached him about
this issue and he was doing his job as
a senator to bring the request in the
form of this motion before ihe senate.
He and a small group of supporters
were speaking on behalf of this
woman and all women in general.
This woman was supposedly working
on a charter for the Woman's Caucus
and that, for whatever reasons,
couldn't come lo senate lo present the
motion herself, so being the devoted
senator that he is, he had to speak for
the woman.
Here was an issue thai directly
affected women both inside the sen-
ale and outside the senate, and with
the exception of the woman he illud-
ed lo, no other woman was informed
alx)ul it.
Wouldn't il have made sense to ask
other women what they thought
about it'.' Wouldn't it have made
sense lo see how the women in the
senate fell'.' Wouldn't it have made
sense for the women of the senate lo
be told ami asked lo help with such a
motion. I mean after all they have
female constituents as well, don'l
they? Wouldn't il have been feasible
lo call an informal women's caucus
made up of the 27 female senators in
senate lo discuss such issues'.' Yes, it
all Would have made sense, but none
of this was done.
Not only is it offensive that women
were not informed about ihe molion,
but il is even more offensive thai he
felt this one woman's charter and
opinion would constitute, serve and
address all women's issues, by exptxM-
ing that all women would vole for this
because ihcy are of the are the same
gender. Il is even more offensive slill
that the senator presenting the
molion felt he could present and
debate on behalf of women.
It is disturbing thai jusl minutes
prior lo his molion was to go before
senate one woman, who was against
il. was approached, and in this "dis-
cussion" the woman who was pre-
pared lo argue against the motion was
badgered in such a way as lo shake
her off balance. She was bombarded
with accusations, that combined wiih
the physical stance of these men who
were surrounding her. re-crcaied the
traditional structure of men using
force and aggression to gel what they
wanted.
It was disturbing to sec that when
the motion did fail 24 for
and 29 against, with a
few abstentions, one
woman who was against
il was approached in a
similar manner by being accused of
being against women. The faction of
men behind ihe motion approached
the woman with the aggressive stance
again of several men surrounding one
woman.
In the days following this senate
meeting, chalk writing was seen on
the walkways outside ihc Campus
Center and Thompson saying the
SGA hates women, and women are
being discriminated against the sen-
ate. One woman who spoke against
the molion received ihree telephone
hang-ups thai may or may not have
been related lo whal occurred in sen-
ale, but we'll never know because the
cowards never said anything.
Women Studies classes were
approached presenting the motion
with no presentation on the women's
side of the debate, thus successfully
coercing ihe women who were not
aware of what occurred in senate to
sign a pelilion. thai on the surface
sees good. Once again women are
marginalized by not being informed
there was significant disseni against
the molion by women.
If these men truly believed they were
helping women, they would be recep-
tive lo what the women in the senate
had lo say. Instead, they resorted to
kindergarten tactics by calling names,
gelling angry and aggressive, gelling
olhers on their side by not telling the
whole story, and by anonymously
writing in chalk all over the campus.
If these men truly believed ihey were
helping women, ihey would know u
molion that concerns women, needs
lo be wrilten, consulted, presented
and debated by women, and women
alone. They should understand Ihal as
an ally they can talk and advocate for
women's issues, but when it comes lo
the creation, the presenlalron and the
discussion about womens' agenda,
ihey should stay away from something
they have no first hand knowledge
about.
When I told the presenter this, he
staled il was sexist. There is no sin-
cerity nor integrity behind his motion.
What is really behind this molion is a
group ol men who are finding all
sorts of different ways lo control the
makeup of the senate. This group of
men have, in previous meetings,
talked about creating a process to cre-
ate caucuses. What this group is
doing is app>ealing to various under-
represented groups like women. Ihe
GLBT community and even the physi-
cally iinpaired lo find ways lo slack
the senate, and ultimately lo create a
caucus that will serve iheir needs, not
those they are claiming to support.
Whal arc their needs'.' Last year,
some of these members successfully
slacked the senate so the majority
were from the Greek area, and when
il came down to budgel lime, il was
Ihe Greek aa-a. and other Greek affil-
iated groups ihal gol a lot of funding.
It's a pily ihey are using other peo-
ple's trust lo watch their ulterior
motives become a reality. Whal is
most insidious about this is that the
groups ihey are "supporting" really
feel emolions on these issues. They
feel il. because it directly affects
them.
When I left that senate meeting. I
was ready lo either quit and burst
into lears. For ihem, it wasn't a big
issue, they can co-opl any of ihese
groups, speak for ihem and nol feel
any emotional ties at all. They have
nothing to lose, because none of Ihe
issues involve ihem. To ihcm, it's jusl
another day in senate.
Winona La Duke, a Native
American aclivisl. said il best when
she spoke al UMass last month about
issues affecting Native Americans and
Native American women.
"Whal befalls molher earth befalls
her daughters on earth, ..Long term
self-determination is ihc prerequisite
I so I that we |can| delermine our own

As a woman of color I see
self-delerminalion. the ability to
determine for myself and my coinmu-
nily whal our own desliny should be
as one ol the most important rights
that both white women, and especial-
ly women of color, must utilize in
order lo allow for true equality. The
only way we can create policies, orga-
nize aclivism and presenl accurale
solutions is if the makers, organizers
and presenlers of such projects are

Letters to the Editor
To the Editor:
Your columnist. Mr. Pugh recycles
examples of whal the supremely
authoritative and objective Limbaugh
Institute for Advanced Conservative
Studies (SIC) calls "Liberal hate
speech." Ironies and follies abound
hea'.
When did the Washington Times.
Rev. Moon's contribution to
American journalism become a snake
pit of liberal piety? Thai's where
most of Pugh's examples originated.
Whatever the source, the e.xamples
are hardly persuasive. While it is true
that Newt Gingrich, though from
Georgia, has never been proved lo
have actually "lynched people." and
that it is unkind to wish hardening of
the physical arteries (way loo late for
his intellectual or moral arteries), on
Clarence Thomas, whal about the rest
is hateful or inaccurate?
They are simple descriptions, nol of
what Gingrich's minions say they will
do. but of whal they have already
begun. Mr. Pugh and that fat charla-
tan Limbaugh needs to distinguish
between "hate speech" and factual,
accurate descriptions of an unthink-
ing, near sighted, morally bankrupt
hale politics in action.

Disappointed in
SGA decision
To ihe Editor:
In a terrible display of politics at its
worst, the Student Government
Association senate defeated a pro stu-
dent molion lo creaie a Women's
Caucus, Hislorically. women have
been underepresenled in the SGA and
in campus political activism in gener-
al. The creation of a Women's Caucus
would empower women across cam-
pus, and help mobilize women to fight
for Ihe issues that cimcern them. Most
importantly a Women's Caucus would
help women gain the representation in
the political process al IJMass.
Unfortunately, the molion was
allacked by the Senate becau.se Ihe
senators presenting the molion were
nien. To often, the SGA divides itself
ink) groups based on race, sex and
politics. We can never have student
unity if we separate and segregate
ourselves. As students, we must
retrain from judging each other's abil-
ities based on sex or race,
Martin Luther King said we should
not be judged by the color of our skin,
but by the content of one's character.
Thus, let us judge each other by the
content of our character and the merit
of one's abilities. In defeating ihc
Women's Caucus, ihe SGA has lost
some of ils crcdibilily as a representa-
tive of the entire student body. The
theme of the SGA should be "putting
students first." nol pulling politics first.
In ending, lei's pul sludenls first by
building unity, breaking down the
barriers of segrcgalion and separation
by supporting pro student ideas,

Smoking policies
are necessary
To the Editor;
This is in response to leremy
Hurcwitz's article "A government
smoke screen," which described
America's ami- smoking policies as
unfair.
The author staled that. "In
America, every tighl-assed fiber-eal-
ing health nut wants to criminalize
tobacco and convert us to iheir cull
in which ihey all live lo be 100. eat
rice cakes and excrete pebbles with
smiles of cxciteincnl long abseni from
iheir gaunt sagging cheeks,"
The amusing images produced by
this statement do nol make up for ils
wild inaccuracy. The legislaiion ban-
ning or limiling smoking in public
places is jusiificd. That doesn't mean
I want to criminalize tobacco If peo-
ple want to smoke, that's their busi-
ness. They have the right to enjoy cig-
aretles as long as they don't interfere
with the public's right to breathe
clean air.
He compared current anti-smoking
legislation lo the government's crimi-
nalizing of marijuana 50 years ago.
He Slated that Ihe studies and the sur-
veys that the government cited were
fabricated by the limber industry,
which fell threatened by hemp's wide
ranging possibilities. He said that the
government "played whore lo big
business and big money,"
This is quite plausible. However,
his suggestion thai ihe govemmeni is
misleading ihe public Ihe way il did
50 years ago makes no sense, Whal
industry fabricated the siudies ihal
show second hand smoke is danger-
ous? Why? Whal big business is ihe
govemmeni playing whore lo today?
The list of big businesses thai bene-
fit from the use of tobacco is endless,
A mountain of evidence shows thai
tobacco companies knew second
hand smoke was dangerous and cov-
ered it up for decades, Jeremy
Hurewiiz's argument doesn't support
his position, il weakens it.
The government is prolecling our
right lo breathe clean air. It is nol tak-
ing away our right to enjoy cigarettes.

SGA's decision
misinterpreted
To the Editor:
As Speaker of the SGA Senate. I feel
the need to read lo a-ceni events fol-
lowing last Wednesday's Senate meet
ing. First. I need lo clarify the headline
from Friday's Collegian which read.
"Senate rejects Women's Caucus."
This is not what happened. The
molion actually read "lo support Ihe
eslablishmenl of a Women's Caucus."
not lo actually create Ihe caucus.
There is currently no proposal,
charter or plan, leaving numerous
unanswered questions over how the
Women's Caucus would be pul
together. The majority of Senators
that dissented from this molion (half
were women) expressed their concern
about there being no plan, and ques-
tioned the process of Senators Dave
Gafney and Bill Ramsey trying lo cre-
aie Ihe Women's Caucus without
involving any women on the Senate
and only one named individual from
the Everywoman's Center,
A rushi-d Women's Caucus will lack
Ihe ntvessary structure lo truly empow-
er Ihe women of this campus, and its
long-term survival would be pul into
question if the appropriate people are
not involved in ils' creation, Gafney
and Ramsey's motives for Irying to
sptx'd up the process vrithoui involving
women from across campus was put
into question and remained unan
swered. The Senate vote against the
motion was more of a statement against
Senators Gafney and Ram.sey and their
ladies than the actual molion itself
In addition, action was taken by the
defeated parties and their associalcs lo
chalk up ihe campus with messages
like "SGA does not support women's
rights" and "No Women's Caucus,"
These are complete misrepresentations
of the SGA and whal we have sought
to accomplish this year. The SGA is
led by President Christine Lopes and
there are now 29 women on the
Senate, compared with nine last year.
The Senate has already passed
motions supporting an increase in call
boxes across campus, an issue of
importance lo Ihc safely of all slu-
denls. particularly women. The SGA
is also currently working on gelling
more escort vans and better escort
service, because it is preposterous
that a University as large as ours has
only one escort van in service.
The SGA is committed lo women's
rights and the struggle is nol relegat-
ed to just the women of the SGA I
challenge anyone lo prove lo me thai
ihe SGA does not support women's
rights, and invite anyone who does
feel ihal way to come in to the SGA
and get involvc*d yourself,
Dan Casiellanu
Speaker of the Senate
Senators try to
empower student
government
To ihe Editor:
I must begin this by staling thai we
as a student body must be engaged in
constructive discussion about the
lives of sludenls on this campus, so il
upsets me lo no end lo see a group of
people who do nothing but dissolve
the imporlani conversations of the
Student Government Association in
lo polemics. So as we debate motions
that effect a small group of people,
these white men. the larger issues
campus-wide, go unheard.
So why -y-.i the SGA vole down a
molion lo support a Women's
Caucus? Well, all I can tell you is the
perspective of a male of color. This
di.scussion about a caucus was never
an authentic one. Being a part of the
leadership in the SGA. Ihe Speaker or
the Presideni nor I were approached
aboul ihe issue and asked lo lake part
in the discussion aboul the idea.
This is mostly perplexing because
our SGA president is a woman.
Who heller lo propose the idea but
Christine Lopes, one of the most
powerful woman on campus? Well,
ihe reason for nol consulting
Christine is thai she had already
begun to conceptualize and orga-
nize a caucus focused on women's
issues. Her ideas did nol. however,
fil with Ihe needs of the men
involved in Ihe motion thai went
before the Senate.
Here is whal is al the heart of the
issue. "The Zero sum game," This
energetic group of while men are nol
at all powerful in a Senate that is
diverse and integrated with women or
pc-ople of color. Big surprise that Ihey
would try lo engage us in the dis-
abling conversation of. "why should
you have something I don't," The
events of that evening reflect the
quality of our Senate. Only a Senate
thai is strong in its purpose lo
empower sludenls and represent stu-
dents could have seen through this
smoke screen that was that sad
molion.
We need to congratulate the
Senators who voted against il,
because they did not fall into thai
trap of "the zero-sum" game that is
used to often in queslions aboul jus-
tice in this country. I hope the fact
the molion was brought forward by
men, with little to no input by
women, is nol lost on people,
Fmally, to those well meaning white
men who seem lo have all the lime in
the World speaking for women, your
lime could be better spent. Funny
how I haven't seen many of them on
Beacon Hill with us lobbying against
raising ihe raising cost of this institu-
tion. Maybe they have the means to
attend the second most expensive
public University in the country, and
maybe that is another issue all togeth-
er- loin the Debate club, or the
College Bowl, or some other organi-
zation that may allow you lo posture
and feed your egos. For Ihe Senate
and Ihe SGA are places of problem
solving, nol childish, self-serving
bickering.

The UMass Experience, Indeed!
Michael
Thewell
Age, gender, race or previous condition of intelligence do
not seem to matter. As every writer learns eariy on. as
soon as the title editor is placed next to one's name, bad
things intellectually speaking (conceptual fuzziness, lin-
guistic inanity) invariably happen. Even students are not
exempt: witness:
"Prof. Thelwell, can you do a piece for us
on the 'UMass Experience?"
"And what the (deleted) might 'the UMass
Experience' be." I asked. "Where will I find
it and how will I recognize it?" The answer
was unintelligible but in ils vagueness strangely familiar. A
light dawned.
'Are you sure you don't work in Whilmore? Or the
President's Office?'! wondered aloud.
Apparently offe.ided by an innocent and logical associa-
tion, the editor uiiered something unkind and hung up,
ending, as I thought, the matter.
Bui as I was to discover when my phone rang nol five
minutes later. I was wrong. I had grievously misspoken
and with a remorseful and contrite heart offer apology.
For there is indeed an entire class ol phenomenon that
can be described as the "UMass Experience," One recur-
rent aspect of which seems to be the inability to resist any
chaHalan demanding extortionate fees to come here to
deliver dubious and provocative messages calculated to
ignite a media firestorm of high intensity but little signifi-
cance.
According to my second caller, the Distinguished Visitor
Committee al their last meeting voted to invest some
$15,000 of studeni moneys lo contract with Charles
Murray lo speak on campus. Moreover, said the caller, the
committee in ils wisdom and courage, had also decided to
withhold announcement or publicity of the event as long
as possible, presumably to avoid potential protest, contro-
versy or even discussion from the constituency whose
money il is proposing to spend in this manner.
Mr, Murray is, of course, the surviving co-author of The
Bell Curve, only the latest in a long historical tradition of
American "scholarship" purporting to prove "scientifical-
ly." the innate, genetically transmitted, intellectual inferi-
ority of Black people as a race. This aspect of the book
has been dismissed by just about the entire scholarly com-
munity investigating human intelligence as 'pseudo-sci-
ence.* the patently fraudulent manipulation of statistical
data.
What is in the book is even more pernicious — aixl reveal-
ing— the ideological agenda of the authors, the political
arguments deriving from these alleged "findings,"
Murray's argument, once one cuts through the rhetorical
underbrush, could not be more transparent or more crude.
Whatever contemporary conditions of social, educational
and social inequity affiict Ihe Black community are nol. as
one might naively assume, the consequence of historical
social policy, corporate behavior or a generally discrimina-
tory political culture. No indeed! The Black community's
problems are self-generated; the sad but inevitable result
of the genetic, intellectual disability of Black people them-
selves. Consequently, misguided social interventions like
educational enhancement or fair employment policies
which seek to ensure equality of opportunity for all
Americans arc doomed to failure. So far as black people
are concerned a waste of taxpayers money and misguided
compassion. No kidding that's the argument.
One has to wonder, therefore, if the committee really
understands the intellectual value beneath the packaging
that they are renting at such infiaied prices.
Do they indeed understand how tired, shopworn, dingy,
moth-eaten, tattered and how very old the merchandise is?
This racist impulse in American scholarship has a long,
dismal history.
In the 1 820's. Thomas Jefferson in his Note on Virginia
offered his observations on the intellectual limitations of
the race. Course. Mr, lefferson omitted to mention
whether his sample included the lO scores of Ms. Sally
Hemming and the black family she bore
him. Nor do we know how he accommo-
dated the accomplishments of his acquain-
tance Benjamin Banneker. the self-taught
mathematical genius who was black.
As late as the I930's. another Southern gentleman, a pro-
fessor of education whose name escapes me. published a
volume "proving" that any effort lo educate Negroes
beyond the junior high level was misguided. Why? Because
as he proved "the Negro mind reaches full development by
age 14 after which further development ceases."
During Worid War II a committee of the US. Senate
released a "scientific" study proving that Negroes lacked
the basic intelligence lo operate sophisticated mechanical
equipment. Thai being so, the juxtaposition of the words
"Negro" and "aviator" was an absurdity. The "experiment"
but its meaning, and the atmospherics likely to surround
it. Whal I feci is a sense of deja vu, of having seen this or
something very like it before. What can il be about "the
UMass Experience" that renders groups of our students so
vulnerable to snake oil salesmen with __^__^__^^_
dubious and provocative messages,
high price tags and a press agent?
I distinctly remember another con-
versation with a group of Black stu-
dents not so very long ago,
"How can you possibly justify spend-
ing that much money (a reported $25
grand) to bring Farrakhan here?" I
asked.
'Because he has an important mes- e- ■
sage for Black folk," jUriOUS roiwd ofdom-
"Really' A message worth $25 grand age COntrol again?
and the aggravation and hard feelings
bound to follow? How is the Jewish community likely to
feel?"
"But he is not coming here to talk about lews," they
assured me, "Only aboul us "
Then again there is the
administration. Who
can forget the circus of
the absurd that unfold-
ed around the
l-arrakhan visit? Will
the administration
undertake the same
the circus of the absurd that unfolded around Ihe
Farrakhan visit? Will the administration undertake the
same furious round of damage control again? Will they
mobilize the seminars, discussion groups, public state-
_^^_^^____ ments, etc, designed to "lessen the
pain" and distance themselves from an
event with which ihey were nol associ-
ated in the first place? Will there be
the same appeals for healing, compas-
sion, tolerance this lime? Will they
this lime "feel" my "pain" also? Will
assorted campus groups and individu-
als again fill the press with principled
slalcmenis "repudiating' Murray's
perceived message? What, if any-
thing, will the studeni majority say
and do? It all promises to be mightily
interesting and instructive. The
UMass Experience indeed!
To the Black community I would counsel a mature
thoughifulncss and masterly rcstraini. As lunebug |,
lones. the Black philosopher, said "Whal we Black folk
attempting to train Black fighter pilots could only damage
the war effort by wasting badly needed military equip-
ment. That argument did nol prevail. __^_^^^^__
however, and subsequently the 352nd
Fighter Group — the Black air wing-
became the most highly decorated air
force unit of the war and the only one
What can it he about
"the UMass
Experience " that ren-
never lo lose a single bomber under ils derS grOUpS of OUr StU-
prolection to enemy fire. dentS SO Vulnerable tO
So it is not Mr Murray's "science" snake oH Sak'SmCn with
that engages me here. (Though I must ^ubioUS and prOVOCU-
confess to a certain heart-sickness
whenever I consider that regardless of
tive messages, high
price tags and a press
agent?
Ihe most strenuous menial effort on my
part, I'm genetically doomed lo be less
intelligent than my white colleagues. A
truly sobering thought indeed.).
No, what concems me il is not the substance of the event
"Maybe." I said. "Bui how will you feel when some
group digs up some hoary old racisis and brings them
^_^^^^^^^^ here?' I don'l recall what the answer
was then.
Now, in any event I'm likely to get
an answer soon. Because I doubl seri-
ously ihal Mr, Murray's subject is
likely to be Peace in Bosnia or the
presidential campaign. His sole stock-
in-trade and latest meal ticket is Ihe
alleged intellectual inferiority of
Black people, I presume therefore
that will be his subject, A subject pre-
sumably worth fifteen grant lo the
Distinguished Visitors Program, I will
dearly love to hear them explain their
thinking and expectations for this selection.
Then again there is the administration. Who can forget
need most is a lot of patience and a sense of irony," The
absolutely last thing we ncc-d lo be doing is helping create
the public controversy and hysteria on which the media
feeds and provocateurs like Murray need if Ihey are to
prosper. Perhaps we ought lo meet to determine whether
any formal response from ihe community is even necessary
and if so, whal form it should take.
My very strong sense is that there is a response that
would speak volumes about ihe intellectual maturity of
this entire community which would be lo nol dignify Ihe
event with an audience. What if ihcy gave a fifltxn thou-
sand dollar speech and nobody came? I have a vision of
Mr, Murray delivering his address lo an audience consist-
ing in ils entirely of his employers: Ihe committee who
inviic'd him and those media people unfortunate enough to
be assigned to be there. That would restore my faith in
the "UMass Experience."
Michael Thewell is a UMass Professor.
Correction
After the story was already in press. Professor Thelwell was able to
make contact with a D.V.P. representative who corrected the infor-
mation from his original source. This clarification, which shed a
somewhat different light on the affairs, is as follows. Charles Murray
has indeed been invited. However, he will be debating the issue with
Dr. Alvin Puissaint, a Black psychologist from Harvard University.
The speakers fee is 15,000 dollars as reported. But this is to be split
[unequally] between the two speakers. Also, there was no discussion
on the part of the D.V.P. to delay the announcement for any reason.
Prof Thelwell asked us to feature this clarification promantly and
regrets any previous inaccuracies.

Editorial Insight On Ignorance
The Black Affairs page discovered in Sunday's
New York Times interesting
information on the funding
of Murray's attack on Black intelli-

(with assets of 450 million) has been
subsidizing conservative intellectu-
als. According to the Times, the
foundation has "a beneficiary list

Ian performs emotion filled show
By Josh Wordrop
Collegian SkiH
JANI5IAN
Iron Horse Music Hall
Nov. II
One of the most beautiful and elo-
quent voices of the last few decades
returned to the Valley this weekend.
Singer/ songwriter )anis Ian played to
a capacity crowd at the Iron Horse
Music Hall Saturday night, alternate-
ly tickling funnybones and touching
the depths of the human heart.
lan's name may be unfamiliar to
most Generation X'e«, but during the
•70s she set a standard for singers as
socially conscious artists, and particu-
larly for women as solo performers.
Still in her teens when she had her first
hit, "Society's Child," Ian displayed,
even then, a maturity and sensitivity
well beyond her tender years. The 'gOs
wtTc less commercially rewarding, but
Ian has recorded steadily throughout
the good and bad and has just released
her 1 5 album. Reienge.
The Iron Horse was the last stop on
lan's eight-month national tour to sup-
port Rei'enge. and she finished in bril-
liant captivating form. She performed
alone, with an acoustic guitar as the
only accompaniment to a single voice.
But what a voice: powerful, defiant,
triumphant, heart- rending. Armed
with a collection of great songs. Ian
seemed to draw off the love of the
crowd, resulting in one of the most
comfortable and intimate shows this
reviewer has even attended.
Ian mixed old classics like "At
Seventeen." a poignant song about
the heartaches faced by adolescents,
"Plain lanes" and songs from
Revenge. One of these. "Ready For
the War." was preceded by a lengthy,
tongue-in-cheek hysterical account of
lan's desperate attempts to sell out.
Indeed. Ian struck a curious but effec-
tive balance between some emotional-
ly charged materially and her warm
onstage chat, which skewered (among
others) Michael lackson. K- Mart and
people from Tennessee, where she
now makes her home. Publically out
as a lesbian since 1974. Ian per-
formed a new song about the cxperi-
ciKc uf being gay and living in the
deep South that was pointedly funny
and thought- provoking.
lan's greatest strength, though,
undoubtedly lies on her ballads —
many of which dealt with the com-
pany of social issues she is famous
for. 'Society's Child" — a song
about an interracial relationship
between teenagers — seemed to gen-
uinely move Ian as well as her audi-
ence. Considering how many times
she has played this signature tune
over the past 25 years, it seemed a
true testimony to the artist and her
work. Ian closed with a song about a
■four-letter word" that referred very
clearly to AIDS, and which can't
have left a dry eye in the house. This
tour may be over, but an artist still
so obviously vital and talented as
lanis Ian will surely grace us with
her presence again — and the soon-
er the better.
Opening for Ian was local
singer/songwriter Ellen Cross, a
future star, and a talent to be reck-
oned with. Her angelic voice was well
complemented by introspective
acoustic songs like "The Virgin of
Guadalupe* and "My Alibi."

Nature CaRsj Carrey answers
Ace Ventura returns as the insane & wacky pet detective
By Lauro Stock
Collegian Staff
ACE VENTVKA: WHEN NAJVIIE CALLS
Directed by Steve Oederek
with Jim Carrey
Playing at Hompshire Six
America's favorite pet detective is back with more
inane humor to tickle, or rather jar. your funny bone.
lim Carrey returns in the sequel to his million dollar-
grossing Ace Ventura: Pet Detective as the animal-lov-
ing, wise-cracking, butt-talking Ace Ventura.
This time around, nature calls Ace to the jungles of
Nibia. where a tribal feud is brewing over the theft of a
sacrcd Great White Bat.
Ace had been spending his time meditating in an
ashram, devastated by a failed attempt to rescue a rac-
coon in a Clifpianger-\\ke opening scene, when a British
tribe interpreter seeks out the pet detective for assis-
tance in the investigation of the missing bat.
Ace's antics begin as the mystery starts to unfold. He
sneaks around a the jungle, disguising himself as vari-
ous animals, trying to locate the man who has stolen the
religious, and very valuable bat.
These comedy bits in the beginning of the film,
where Ace spits food out of his nose, and makes fun
of the aristocrats who wear fur wraps and drives in
his lunatic fashion are funny. A particularly hilarious
scene involves Ace hiding inside of a mechanical rhi-
noceros.
Once the first half-hour of the film passes, the
peals of laughter from the audience change to yawns.
Carrey's array of funny faces becomes dull, and his
Ace witticisms become tiresome. There are only so
many ways he can vary the way he says.
"Reeeeaaaaally!"
There are no surprises in this Ace Ventura movie,
unlike the first one. which had the Crying Cumf-esquc
ending. Ace does not have a love interest this time
around (Courtney Cox has moved onto bigger, friendlier
things). Ace regurgitates all of his old jokes and lines.
he just exaggerates them even more, and they become
stale very quickly.
Audiences love lim Carrey, though. They love him
enough to sell out every two-screen showing at the
local theater this weekend. Hollywood loves him, too.
The big producers love him enough to pay him $20
million per film — that's in the Mel Gibson/Sly
Stallone range.
The question is though, is Carrey worth it? Does he
have Slaying power, or is he just going to be a four-hit
wonder? His fate may change when the Dumb &
Dumber and Mask sequels have run their course, and
the "stupid" fad fades out of comedy.
A recent episode of 'Entertainment Tonight" com-
pared the career of |im Carrey to that of fellow comedy
actor, Robin Williams. To say current Hollywood fave
Carrey is comparable to the multi-talented and success-
ful Robin \X jlliams is like saying New Kids on the Block
were similar to the Beatles.
Carrey, though he may be the biggest box office
draw of the year, is typecast. How much range could
it possibly take to go from "In Living Color's" Fire
Marshal Bill to Ace Ventura, the Mask or the Riddler?
Sure, they both started out on television and doing
stand- up, but Williams has a spontaneity and an
insane sense of humor that comes naturally to him.
Carrey can make some wild faces, but he places a
large reliance upon special effects, costume and make-
up.
It's possible wc may see him narrate an animated film
like Williams did with AUiddin. but it is fairly doubtful
that we will see him doing moralistic family films, like
Mrs. Doubtfire. You can clean up Carrey's mouth, but
how can you instill morals in an actor whose forte is
talking out of his butt?
It is also highly unlikely that Carrey will be receiving
the Academy Award nominations Williams did for his
dramatic roles in Dead Poet's Society and The Fisher
King. Carrey in (Jood Morning Vietnam part II? Not
gonna happen.
As for the present, though, Carrey's career is sky-
rocketing, and not even close to crashing and burning
yet. As for the actor, he is so hyper, somebody better
get him some ritalin before he bums oul.
The jokes come fast and furious in the beginning of
Ace Ventura: When Sature Calls, and Carrey tires oul
the audience. The problem is, we have seen the stuff
before, and it is only funny for so long — but not as
long as it will take for you to wait in line for a movie
ticket. C*

Japanese dance mixes old & new
By Matt Sinclair
Collegian Staff
SAEKOKHINOHE&CO.
Bovi'kef Auditorium
h4ov. 9
Saeko Ichinohe and Company were
in town Thursday, performing at
Bowker Auditorium with co-sponsor-
ship from the Asian Dance and Music
Program.
What makes this dance company
different from so many others is its
ability to blend both Old and New.
as well as East and West, in a deli-
cate and yet powerful way. The
company began its activities in
1970 and has since gone on to per-
form at many prestigious events
including the New York Dance
Festival. Artpark. Wolftrap and the
Lincoln Center Out-of-Doors
Festival.
The first act. tilled Chidori. was
based around one solitary female
dancer who utilized a traditional
lapanese fan. The music and dance
were traditional and Saeko Ichinohe
herself was the star.
Miyabi was the name of the next
act which was far more contempo-
rary with a distinct emphasis upon
ballet and classical music. Again tra-
ditional fans were used and served as
a delightful contrast to the previous
traditional piece.
The third scene. Dosijin.- was a
long and elaborate piece performed
by a variety of dancers. The focus
was upon the masked guardian (or
dosijin I who in former times was the
expeller of evil spirits: in contempo-
rary times he serves as god of mar-
riage ar>d birth. The piece was a mix
of traditional dance and drama but
with a comical, contemporary twist,
adding color and meaning to the
scene.
Goza. the fourth act. was a
humorous and witty dance in which
Saeko Ichinohe illustrated new uses
for the traditional lapanese rug
(goza). The act opened with what
looked like a cylindrical rug in the
center of the stage but out popped
Ichinohe and soon a whole quartet of
^ora-wielding dancers were per-
forming alongside her — laughter
and merriment ensued from the
audience.
After the intermission the compa-
ny performed an excerpt from the
Tale of Cenji. This consisted of five
scenes based on chapters from the
book which was written by Lady
Muraski in the 1 lih century. All five
scenes were enchanting but the final
one. titled Return ofCengi. was per-
haps the most memorable. It bor-
dered on the surreal and was a mix
of drama, ballet and traditional
dance.
Saeko ichinohe and Company had
delighted the audience and had
offered an exciting performance
based on old and new. The dancers
were from mixed ethnic backgrounds
and helped illustrate the cross-cultur-
al theme that is central to the compa-
ny's style.

Kentucky is voted No. I in AP poll
By Jim O'ComwII
Assoc iatod Press
Kentucky was voted No. I in the
preseason college basketball poll for
the first time Monday, and big con-
ferences again dominated the Top
25, with the Big East having three
of the lop six teams.
The Wildcats, who reached the
round of eight in last year's NCAA
tournament and return three
starters, received 34 first-place
votes and 1.550 points from the
national media panel.
Kansas was just two points
behind after receiving 24 No. 1
votes. The layhawks have four
starters back from the leam that
lost in the regional semifinals last
season.
Then came the Big East — No. J
Villanova followed by defending
champion UCLA of the Pac 10.
Georgetown and Connecticut.
Villanova, which had 1.369
points, and UCLA were the only
other schools to receive firsi-place
votes with two and four, respective-
ly.
The Top 10 was completed by
Massachusetts, Iowa. Mississippi
State and Utah.
The next 10 spots went to Wake
Forest, Louisville, Memphis,
Missouri, Maryland, Arkansas,
Michigan. Stanford, Virginia and
North Carolina.
The last of the preseason ranked
teams were Cincinnati, Virginia
Tech, Indiana, Purdue and
California.
Kentucky becomes the second
straight Southeastern Conference
team to be selected the preseason
No. 1 Arkansas, then the defending
champion, had that distinction and
reached the title game last April.
The Wildcats lost two starters
from last season — Rodrick Rhodes
and Andre Riddick — and have
added consensus national prep play-
er of the year Ron Mercer and Ohio
Stale transfer Derek Anderson.
"We think we have a good bas-
ketball team, and if we do the right
things defensively, maybe we can
develop into a great team,"
Kentucky coach Rick Pitino said.
The Wildcats will find out a lot
right away as they open the season
with neutral-silc games against
Maryland and Massachusetts, then
play at Indiana.
"I don't feel a lot of pressure
when you have the basketball team
we have." Pitino said. "Pressure is
when you don't have a bench, you
don't have much quickness, you're
short and slow."
The previous 14 preseason No.
Is have gone on to considerable
success. None has ever finished oul
of the Top to in the final regular-
season poll and each has made to at
least the second round of the
NCAA tournament with eight gel-
ting to the Final Four, including
national champions North Carolina
in 1982. UNLV in 1990 and Duke
in 1992.
The Big Ten and ihc Atlantic
Coast Conference led in the presea-
son poll with four representatives
each — Iowa. Michigan. Indiana
and Purdue of ihe Big Ten and

Maddux receives Cy Young award
By Ronald Bhim

COUtTISOMNOM
Georgia Hubley and Ira Kaplan of Yo La Tengo.
By Mike Burkt
Collegion SKjH
Tomorrow night at the Amherst College Frontroom two
well established underground acts will take the stage in
what will truly be a remarkable show.
Headlining the show are Yo La Tengo. a multi-talented
trio hailing from Hoboken, N| who are known for their
imaginative albums and energy packed live shows.
Opening up. in a rare Stateside appearance will be the
Pastels, one of the finest Scottish pop bands of the past
two decades.
Describing Yo La Tengo is a difficult task which may
explain why lead singer/guitarist Ira Kaplan refuses to
pinhole the band. By combining Sonic Youth like noise
attacks, moog synthesizers, country-ish tunes, experi-
mental noise and straight ahead pop melodies, Yo La
Tengo produces a sound unlike anyone else. Their live
shows are spectacular as the audience witness Kaplan's
rock star antics featuring crazy energetic Hendrix-like
guitar solos while the rest of the band maintains their
mellow selves.
While Kaplan is off soloing in his own world, Georgia
Hubley, Kaplan's wife, pounds the skins while lames
McNew plays bass, keeping the band intact. McNew has
been with the band for the last five years and has helped
the band progress greatly. According to Kaplan, the addi-
tion of McNew, "made us a band and it provoked more
interest in writing songs as a band." When not with
Hubley and Kaplan, McNew records as a one man band
entitled Dump.
Their live shows have brought the band from appear-
ances on the second stage at Lollapolloza to co-headlining
a tour with Stereolab across England which produced a
limited edition split single of the bands on Duophonic.
Often performing without a set list the band is known
to play a wide range of material from old tunes off early
albums such as President Yo La Tengo to more recent
songs and even an occasional popular cover such as
"Speeding Motorcycle." At a recent gig in Seattle the
band played a 25 minute version of the Daniel lohnston
clastic in defiance of the unfriendly club owners. The
song ended only when tbc club shut oil the energy to the
stage.
Don't expect such problems tonight though. K Yo La
Tengo will likely concentrate on their more recent releas-
es. ElectroPura. Painful, and the brand new EP Camp Yo
La Tengo. The band's progress has been continuous since
their humble beginnings with every release the band
grows in a new direction which will be most apparent
hve.
Kaplan commented on the band as to whether they
were a studio band or a live band. "I think they both show
different sides of the band and together they bring the
songs together." On a good night. Yo U Tengo are one of
the most creative and exciting bands you arc likely lo
come across.
From a special request by Yo La Tengo, the Pastels
have crossed the Atlantic from Scotland to open several
dates on Yo La Tcngo's tour. This brief trip marks only
the third lime the legendary pop band from Edinburgh
has toured America.
Yo La Tengo and the Pastels appear at the Amherst
College Frontroom located in the Campus Center.
NEW YORK — For Greg Maddux,
winning the Cy Young Award —
even unanimously — is just another
part of his routine
"We might have a little parly
tomorrow night or something." he
said Monday after capturing his
fourth consecutive NL Cy Young, his
second straight by a shutout vote.
"After winning the World Series,
we're pretty much pariied out."
Maddux, at 29, perhaps not even
halfway through his career, continued
to pui up numbers that can be com-
pared only with baseball's greats.
Steve Cariton is the only other pitch-
er to win four Cy Youngs. He did it
for Philadelphia in 1972, 1977, 1980
and 1982. Sandy Koufax is the only
other pitcher to win the award unani-
mously in consecutive years — in
1965 M) for the Dodgers. "It's really
hard for me lo talk about the history
of the game because my history goes
back 10 years," Maddux said during a
telephone news conference from his
home in Las Vegas.
"When I heard comparisons about
people who pitched in the '50s or
'60s or '70s, I can't really relate lo it.
I didn't really watch baseball a whole
lot back then. I really wasn't the fan
then I am now. I just lake it as a nice
compliment on move on."
Maddux, who led the Atlanta
Braves lo their first World Series
title, received 140 points in balloting
announced by the Baseball Writers
Association of America.
Maddux led the NL in wins with a
19-2 record, and was tops in the
league in ERA (1.63) and complete
games (10). He became the first
major leaguer since Walter lohnson
in 191 8- 19 lo have an ERA under
1 .80 in consecutive seasons.
Cincinnati's Pete Schourek was
second in the voting with 55 points.
followed by Braves teammate Tom
Glavine with 30. Los Angeles rookie
Hideo Nomo was fourth with 19 and
Dodgers pitcher Ramon Martinez
had eighi.
Many say Maddux already is a lock
to make the Hall of Fame. His career
record is 150 93 with a 2 88 ERA.
"Thai's something you don't think
about." he said. "If it happens, great.
I'm going lo do what I've always
done. I'm going to go out there and
makes as many good pitches as I can.
That's good enough for me. Whether
I'm 20 0 or 0 20. it doesn't much
matter." Maddux has won the Cy
Young in each of his three seasons
with the Braves. He says he's a much
better pitcher than when he started
with the Chicago Cubs.
"Back then. I was pretty much
brain dead heaver." he said. 'Now I'd
like to think I know a little something
about pitching that I can apply on the
field"
l^si year, Maddux became the first
player to win any of baseball's major
awards three straight limes. He's also
a strong contender in this year's NL
MVP race
'If it happens, great," Maddux
said. "Who wouldn't want to wui an
MVP? I'm probably excilcd more
about what our leam accomplished
this year than winning the Cy Young,
as much of an honor as it is lo win
the Cy Young."
By winning the award, Maddux
gained a $750,000 bonus added to
his $5 million salary. Glavine gets a
$75,000 bonus added lo his $4.5 mil
lion salary

Deliberations begin in Kings insurance fraud trial Carr named permanent Michigan football coach
By Lorry Neumeister
Associated P'ea
NEW YORK — The jury in the insurance fraud trial
of boxing promoter Don King began deliberations
Monday after lawyers finished closing arguments.
U.S. District judge Lawrence McKenna instructed the
jury on the law, then the jurors deliberated about an
hour before going home. Earlier, the judge took the
unusual step of letting the defense provide a 1 5-minutc
response to the government's rebuttal. The prosecutor
was then allowed another five minutes. The additional
arguments were permitted by .McKenna because juror>
were returning from a three-day holiday weekend and
the judge feared they were too far removed from last
week's arguments to allow only a prosecutor to speak.
King, b4. who did not react to prosecutors throughout
the six-wt-ck trial, shook his head slowly several times to
protest statements by Paul Gardcphe. the assistant U.S.
attorney. Gardcphe siiid Kin^''^ testimony was "riddled
with lies."
"I submit to you hi- - ude no sense. He did
not tell the truth.' he said ol King's three days on the
witness stand. The promoter had testified he had
nothing to do with the filing of a fake contract that
convinced Lloyd's ol London to pay King S350.OOO to
reimburse him for training expenses for a l'J91 bout
that was canceled. The fight between Julio Cesar
Chavez and Harold Brazier was scrapped after Chavez
cut his face while training. Chavez testified he never
saw the fake contract and was never given $350,000
for training fees.

ANN ARBOR. Mich. - Lloyd Carr.
the interim coach who has guided
Michigan to an 8-2 rtxord and a No.
12 ranking, was hired today as the
Wolverines' permanent football coach.
Athletic director |oe Roberson.
who made the announcement at a
news conference this morning, said
the length and terms of the contract
would be decided after the end of the
season.
Carr was told Saturday after guiding
Michigan to a 5-0 victory over Purdue.
The players were told Sunday after-
noon, Roberson said. "I can't tell you
how thrilled I am," Roberson said. "If
you think I'm thrilled, you should have
been here yesterday when I told the
team. The whole room just exploded in
applause."
Carr was given the job last spring
after Gary Moeller was forced to
resign following a drunken incident
in a suburban Detroit restaurant,
Roberson said he decided to make
Carr's job permanent after
Michigan's 25-13 win over Boston

"Everybody at Michigan expects you
to win. It's fun. but it is not easy." Carr
said.
He called his appointment and the
team's response "a very special
moment in my life."
"My mother taught me you don't
want to be somewhere you're not
wanted. I feel wanted here." Carr said.
Under Carr. the Wolverines opened
the season by defeating Virginia 18-17
in the Pigskin Classic on Scott
Dreisbach's 15-yard touchdown pass
to Mercury Hayes on the last play.
Michigan steadily moved up
through the rankings. Then
Dreisbach broke his right thumb and
was replaced at quanerback by Brian
Griese in the fifth game.
The Wolverines have won four of
six since. A startling 19-13 loss at
home to Northwestern was accepted
with polite skepticism. But a 28-25
upset at Michigan State prompted talk
Carr wouldn't get the permanent job.
Roberson. however, apparently
liked the way Carr handled himself in
adversity. Roberson also might have
been swayed by the high regard the
players have for Carr.
It started during early camp in
August when practice became almost
a nightmare, Carr moved practice
sessions to early evening when tem-
peratures cooled.
On one particularly hot and sultr>
day. Carr stopped practice as a deliv-
ery truck arrived. The truck was full
of Popsicles he had ordered. The
players have talked about that after-
noon since. Roberson also had to be
impressed with the way Carr handled
himself immediately after the loss at
Michigan State. A disputed spot gave
the Spartans a crucial first down on
their go-ahead touchdown drive.
Carr handled the referee's decision
without fanfare.
"He spotted it where he saw it."
Carr said, "An inch or two the other
way and the game is over,"
Carr also showed just the right touch
Saturday, guiding the Wolverines (8-2,
4 2 Big Ten) past Purdue in some of
the worst weather conditions ever seen
at Michigan Stadium,
The field was a sea of mud. and
winds gusting to 50 mph created a
wind-chill that made the temperature
seem like minus-5. Instead of trying
to force plays that could only succeed
on a dry field. Carr played the game
like a chess master.
He instructed his captains to get
the wind at their backs if possible at
the coin-toss. They did. and it paid
off in a 25-yard field goal. As the
game wore on. that score became
ever more critical. The Wolverines
tacked on a fourth-quarter safety for
the final margin of victory.
After the game. Carr defended
Griese. who had trouble adjusting to
the conditions.
"Let me say this first." Carr said.
"Brian Griese is a 3.0-plus student
at the University of Michigan. He
has done a tremendous job of repre-
senting the university, this football
program and everybody else associ-
ated with this university. "He's 21
years old. and he's worked hard.
He's competing at the highest level
of intercollegiate athletics in his
first year, and for anyone to
describe his performance as awful is
wrong. I'm very proud of him this
year."
It was exactly the kind of support a
Michigan coacfi would be expected to
give one of his players. Leadership,
especially at a school like Michigan,
has always been about more than
wins and losses.

Playoffs are possible again for Pats
By Howard Ulmon
Associated Press
FOXBORO. Mass. — The New
England Patriots "stink." That's what
their distraught coach said five weeks
ago. Now Bill Parcells is smiling and
saying the playoffs are possible.
The Patriots have come a long wav
from a 37-3 humiliation by Denver
on Oct, 8 — "this is a joke." Parcells
said afterward — to Sunday's impres-
sive 54-17 victory at Miami.
"That win does a lot for us." he
said Monday. "We're going to have to
play really good football for a long,
long period of time to get out of this
hole were in.
"But the' way it looks to me in this
AFC. you may be even bo able to take
another loss and still get in (the play-
offs), provided it wasn't a division
game."
Ten of the 14 AFC teams are b-4.
5-5 or 4-6. The Patriots are 4-b. but
their 31 record against division
opponents — an important tie-brcak-
er for a wild-card berth — is the best
in the AFC East. Four of their
remaining six games, starting Sunday
at home against Indianapolis, are
against division rivals.
Five games into the season, the
Patriots were 1-4 and had an NFL-
low 45 points They nearly scored
that many on Sunday and are 5-1 in
their last four games, losing only in
overtime to Carolina. "Early in the
sea.son. wc just had a bunch of guys
playing like individuals and now we
understand the importance of team-
work." linebacker Chris Slade said.
"I think its a chemistry thing now.
whereas we didn't have it before."
The Patriots excelled in every
aspect of the game against the
Dolphins. On special teams. Matt
Bahr kicked a game-lying, career-
long 55-yard field goal on the last
play of the half It was set up by a
bi-yard kickoff return by Dave
Mcggeti. who is second in the AFC
in that category.
On offense. Curtis Martin rushed
lor 142 yards, and Vincent Brisby
caught six passes for 1 18 yards, Martin
is scvond in the AFC in rushing.
On defense, the Patriots had two
sacks against Dan Marino, who had
been tackled only six times in his
other seven games, and forced him
into a fumble and an interception
that led to 10 second-half points.
"We have improved in the last
month." Parcells said, 'but I'm not
convinced, based on what 1 saw prior
to that, that necessarily we'll contin-
ue to go that way."
In his other two seasons as their
coach, the Patriots improved in the
second half of the season. In 1995.
they went from 1-7 to 4-4. Last season,
they were 3-5 at the midpoint and 7- 1
afterward as they wclh their last seven
games to reach the playoffs.
Parcells said that doesn't mean
much this season since he has differ-
ent players and a different schedule.
And the Patriots are just two games
into the second half.
"We have to get down the road
atK>ther four to five weeks.' he said.
Barely a month after the Patriots
hit bottom, linebacker Vincent
Brown also took a cautious
approach when asked about their
playoff chances. 'That it the fur-
thest thing from our minds right
now," he said. "We are in such a
deep hole it would be crazy to think
about that."
But the toughest part of New
England's schedule is over. Their first
six opponents were Cleveland.
Miami. San Francisco, Atlanta.
Denver and Kansas City. Their last
six are Indianapolis. Buffalo, New
Orleans, the New York lets.
Pittsburgh and Indianapolis again. "It
could be too late (to make the play-
offs). We could be in too much o( a
hole." Parcells said.
NHL
continued from page 12
They call the Rose Bowl the "Grandaddy of them all,"
a phrase that could apply to Roy in another respect He
opened the floodgates for a wave of goaltenders who
were bred in the Quebec province and played in the
Quebec Major lunior Hockey League lOMIHI 1. These
luminaries include Martin Brodeur. Felix Polvin.
Slephane FIscl. Dominic Roussel and Jocelyn Thibaull
They will all tell you they were glued to the luK- watch-
ing Roy when he was reaching new heights in netmind-
ing for the better part of a decade, Thev wanted to be
like Pat.
They're all in good position to rival his accomplish-
ments. Brodeur has already won a Cup and Potvin has
reached two conference finals. But their mentor might not
be done adding to his trophy case. He too has been a bril-
liant key to the Canadiens comeback, so Karbcr can stop
worrying about Montreal's need for a backup who can
play 55 games. 55 games! Roy will play no less than 60
this year, and it's not because they don't have anyone else.
They don't need anybody else.
Sunday night served as a fine showcase for the Roy of
today. Montreal was in Vancouver, leading 2-0 in the
first. Alexander Mogilny. skating without fellow Russian
Rocket Pavel Bure (more on him later), broke the speed
limit down the right wing, offered some fries with the
shake he put on the defense and put a backhanded pea
past Roy's stick.
It was the type of shot that Mogilny can expect to beat
most goaltenders. but it really handcuffed Roy. who's
made a living denying such extraordinary bids,
Roy let in just one more while making 31 saves in a 4-2
win. lust another day at the office for a future Hall of
Earner.
Roy has never been popular in Boston, Colleague Matt
Vautour gave us a colorful reminder of those t-shirts
worn by many Bruins fans at Boston-Montreal playoff
games that read "Canadiens suck" on the front and "Roy
swallows" on the back.
During their 1990 series, Roy Mid in the press that the
way to beat Boston goalie Andy Moog was to shoot high
The Bruins proceeded to oust Roy, who had a super
1989-90 season, in exactly that way.
But whether or not he is liked, he commands total
respect.
• When Montreal acquired Plertc Turgcon from the
Islanders, it assured its next Cup wouldn't be won with
any help from the man second in value only to Roy for the
1993 champs: Kirk Mulkr, Well, he won't be doing any-
thing at all at the Nassau Mausoleum anymore, because
CM Don Maloney and coach Mike Miibury want him
gone.
Keep your eye on Muller, because he may go back to
Montreal, where he enjoyed playing so much, though I
think he'd look pretty good in Bruins' black and gold.
Hard to say what either club could give for the gritty,
all- purpose center. Montreal has little use for Vincent
Damphoussc, but he doesn't seem Milbury's type: Boston
would love to lose Al lafralc. and I could see Miibury
having patience with him. He's got to gel rid of Muller
soon, because he's doing no good and costing Maloney
money out of uniform. (Miibury has said without mincing
words that Muller will not wear a visually displeasing
Islanders' uniform ever again.)
• The burden is now Mogilny's to light up Vancouver's

DAVIE. Ra. — Following a heated exchange with
safety Gene Atkins. Miami [X>lphins coach Don Shula
had the last word Monday. Shula said Louis Oliver
will likely replace Atkins in next Monday's game
against the Super Bowl champion San Francisco
49ers. It would be the first lineup change this season
for the Dolphins' defense.
Miami was burned deep down the middle —
Atkins" territory — for the second consecutive week in
Sunday's 34-17 loss to New England. The latest
breakdown left both Atkins and his coaches fuming.
Following Vincent Brisby's 47-yard touchdown recep-
tion. Shula and defense coach Tom Olivadotti yelled
at Atkins on the sideline. He yelled back, pointed al
Olivadotti and was restrained by teammates.
The dispute offered a public sample of the season-
long griping and squabbling that have plagued the disap-
pointing Dolphins (6-4). Shula and Atkins visited pri-
vately about the exchange Monday. "He was upset about
that, that it happened." Shula said. Did he apologize?
"He was upset about it." Shula said,
Shula remained upset about the coverage break-
down, especially with Icrry Rice coming to town,
"We've made some mistakes in our secondary, and
we're very concerned about that." Shula said, "We're
considering giving Louis Oliver the opportunity to
step in and do the job for us,"
Atkins left the lucker room Monday without talking
to reporters, so it's uncertain how he'll respond to the
benching. Ironically, he threatened to sit out a game
last month if the coaches replaced strong safely
Michael Stewart with Oliver, That switch was never
made,
Comerback |.B. Brown said he had expected help
from Atkins on the play that prompted Sunday's side-
line disagreement. Brisby beat Brown by two steps to
make his touchdown catch in an area vacated by
Atkins, giving New England a 17-10 lead.
"That was a three-deep zone, and GerK is responsible
for the deep middle ol a three-dtx'p zone." Shula said.
Atkins felt otherwise.
"He was upset about what he thought was the way
that it should be played." Shula said, "But I don't
know a three-deep zone where the weak safety isn't
responsible for the deep middle,"
San Diego's Tony Martin beat comerback Troy Vincent
on a similar play a week earlier for a 50-yard touchdown.
Vincent defended Atkins' contribution to the defense.
"I don't think we need to change, personally, just
yet," Vincent said, "As a safety, you're the quarter-
back of the defense. You can't ask a man to help me
on one sideline and on the other sideline help |,B.
Brown, and stop (New England running back! Curtis
Martin for a 2-yard loss."
Atkins, a nine-year pro. has started all but one game
since 1990. Oliver was a starter in his first five NFL
seasons with the Dolphins, spent last year with
Cincinnati and returned to Miami this year.
Oliver has been vocal in the past about his desire to
start. But Oliver said he hasn't been told of any plans
for him to replace Atkins.
"He's been playing hard. He's been trying to play
well." Oliver said. "I don't want to go in because a guy
was injured or didn't play well, I want to play because
I can do the job."

IRVING. Texas — The Dallas Cowboys ncx-ded some
good news and they got it Monday when quarterback
Troy Aikman's knee injury was diagnosed as a bruised
teixlon. meaning he couki play this wcx-kend at Oakland.
"There is swelling aiKl soreness but there is a gix.>d
chance Troy could be ready this week." team trainer
Kevin O'Neill said, "We're very excited about it. This
is a great result,"
Aikman was injured in the first quarter ol Suntlay's >8
20 loss to San FraixHsco and had an MRI the next ilay.
"Truy was lucky," O'Neill said. "He bruisc-d a ten
don that's part of the hamstring muscle It's not a very
common injury. We're treating it with ice."
Defensive tackle Chad Hennings has a sprained
right knee. He is wearing a brace and is listed as qucs
llonable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Battered physically and psychologically, the
Cowboys were still trying to figure out how ihe 49en.
outwitted and outplayed them for the third consecu
live game. "Dumbfounded." was the way Dallas coach
Barry Switzer described his mood,
"I have no explatution how it cuuki happen to us
again." Swritzer said. 'We'll never beat San Francisco
if we do what we've done the last three games The
turnover rate is 12-to-l." Dallas k>sl to San Francisco
21-14 during Ihe regular season last year and fell 38
28 in the NFC championship game.
The 49ers baffled the Cowboys with the simple
move of putting wide receiver jerry Rice into Ihe slot
position. Dallas tried to cover Rice with linebackers
until Ihe third quarter and the results were disastrous.

Donaldson and Martin, "I think that
it could have something to do with
how long it is taking some of these
women to recover from A-IO's,
"They hcU together enough to make
me happy, though. And they helped
place us wtKre I thought we should be
in the overall a-sulls," she sakl,
Molly Dunlap and |en DelColle,
running strong for the
Minutewomen in the sixth and sev-
enth slots, closed out the year on
good notes. The two ran what were
perhaps the best races of their sea-
sons, with DelColle's being a fitting
way to end her collegiate career,
'I was very happy with Molly and
len," LaFreniere said. "Molly had a
faster lime at A-IO's, but for an
overall race performance, there's no
question that this was her best,
*|en is a fifth-year senior, and it's
always nice to end your career wnih a
strong performance, |en ran well,
and I am very proud of her," she
said.
"Overall. I am pleased with our
performance," LaFreniere said. "We
were right where I though we
should be. St. joe's squeaked ahead
of us, but wc were able lo squeak
ahead of Boston University, so
everything worked out well."

Sports
Donaghue to compete at NCAAs
By Casey Kane
Collegian Staff
It was a happy ending for the Massachusetts
women's cross country team this weeitend, when
the Minutewomen closed out their season at the
EC AC Champiimships in Boston.
But the final chapter in the storybooks will have
an epilogue, as Rebecca Donaghue extended her
season for one more week, by qualifying for the
NCAA Championships.
Running in a field of over 80 schools, the
Minutewomen toed the starting line with some of
the best talent in collegiate running. Lining up
against the likes of Georgetown, Connecticut and
others. L'.Mass scored 398 points to take 15th
place. The meet was won by Providence College
with 44 pt>ints.
Massachusetts was led by sophomore Rebecca
Donaghue. who finished 1 1th overall, with a time
of 17:28. That personal record time was over 20
seconds faster than the time Donaghue ran on the
same course at New England's three weeks ago.
With a performance deemed "fantastic" by
Massachusetts coach |ulie LaFreniere. Donaghue
qualified for the NCAA Championships. A member
of the 1995 All- Atlantic 10 team. Donaghue has
been the first Minutewoman across the line in
every race this season.
"I was absolutely ecstatic with Rebecca's perfor-
mance." LaFreniere said. "Right now she is running
with national quality kids, and that is where we
want her to be.
"She averaged about 5:58 a mile, and 1 was
extremely pleased with that. What else can I say
except that she was fantastic." she said.
The second Minutewomen across the line was
senior |en Waeger. Finishing in 18:04. she took
41st o\erall. Waeger has been an emotional leader
for the Minutewomen all season, and the co-cap-
lain, and member of the All-Atlantic 10 team,
ended her collegiate career on a positive note.
"I think len ran very, very well She is really feel-
ing gocxl. and it showed." LaFreniere said. "She ran
the best race of her season, running with some out-
standing athletes That is a very respectable way to
end her season."
The trio of Katie Greenia. Kristin Donaldson and
Christy Martin rounded out the UMass top five
Greenia. who had a late season surge to capture
the final Massachusetts spot on the All-Atlantic 10
team, finished 105th overall, with a time of 19:08.
Donaldson and Martin took 120th and 121st.
respectively, each clocking a 19:14. LaFreniere
commented that the three women looked a little
flat this weekend, a condition that was attributed
to the effort they gave at the A- 10 Championships.
"The performances were not the best effort I
have seen from these women, but they were cer-
tainly not terrible." LaFreniere said of Greenia.

Men s swimming enacts
revenge on Northeastern
fty Joy Warner
Collegian Staff
COUdTtS* MJCHA «LATK)NS
Sophomore Rebecca Donaghue place 11th In the ECAC Championships Saturday, qualifying her
for the NCAAs next Monday in Ames, Iowa.
Thoughts of last year's loss at
the hands of Northeastern lin-
gered in the mind of men's swim-
ming and diving coach Russ
Yarworth as he prepared his team
for the rematch this past week-
end. It paid off as the
Massachusetts men's swimming
team was able to get revenge on
the Huskies.
"This dual meet had a little extra
significance to it for us because last
year Northeastern beat us for the
first time ever and they were pretty
vocal about it." Yarworth said.
"We wanted to show them what
we thought about it."
Senior tri-captain Keith McLarty
was part of last years team who
suffered the loss to Northeastern
and he had only one thought in
mind as he and his team got ready
for the match and that was to come
out victorious.
"We thought it was going to be a
tough match, but this year we
came in a lot more prepared than
last year." McLarty said.
The Minutemen came out of
the blocks in high gear as they
placed first in three of the first
four events. Freshmen David
Koritkoski and Geoff Gear and
juniors Chris Martin and Greg
Menton led off the meet with a
close race in the 400 meter med-
ley relay that came down to the
wire before they settled for a sec-
ond place finish. Freshman Brian
Wisniewski. sophomore Scott
Herbert. freshman Mike
Dellagalla and junior Dave
Domaus followed behind captur-
ing third place.
Koritkoski and Wisniewski
each swam a strong first leg of
their respective relay teams
which impressed Yarworth con-
cerning their abilities as fresh-
man.
"I was pleased with our fresh-
man backstrokers, I thought
(Koritkoski and Wisniewski] did a
good job," Yarworth said. "It
shows that we're looking pretty
good for the future."
Other freshman that had an
impact on the Minutemen's victo-
ry were Marc Lavardiere and
Gear. Lavardiere took first place
finishes in the 1000m freestyle
and 500m freestyle with times of
10:07.48 and 4:55.35 respectively.
Gear, a highly touted recruit from
Ohio posted a first place win in
the 200m freestyle, with a time of
1:50.21. and a second place finish
in the 200m butterfly, as well as
being part of the winning 400
medley relay team.
Sophomore Sean Anderson's
displayed veteran poise as he
placed first in his two individual
efforts, while also anchoring the
winning 400m freestyle team.
Anderson cruised to his individ-
ual victories in the 50m freestyle
and the 100m freestyle, with
times of :21.44 and :48.08.
respectively.
Following Anderson's win in
the 50m freestyle, the Minutemen
fell into a rut as Northeastern
took first place in the next three
events. This momentary lapse was
the result of the Minutemen's lack
of intensity which Yarworth
spoke to his team about after the
match.
Senior fustin Murphy gave his
team the lift they needed as he
redeemed himself from an earlier
loss in the one meter dive and
paved the way to the easy victory
in the three meter
"HaWng Justin coming back after
a not-sc^ood performance in the
one meter to win the three meter
was good." Yarworth said. "It
showed that he is maturing."
Another notable performance by
a Minuteman came from McLarty,
who took the win in the 200m
backstroke and was a member of
the winning team in the 400m
freestyle relay.
Yarworth was pleased with the
results but also had some concerns.
"For this time of year, everyone
was about where I wanted them
to be," Yarworth said. "I'm also
concerned about the breaststro-

Hockey coverage still
lacking in SI, USA;
Roy remains a legend
American media really slacks when it comes to
coverage of the NHL. Rarely will you see a televised
contest between teams from Canada or the West.
ESPN's Sportienter and the like relegate hockey high-
light packages to the tail end of their broadcasts, and
national sports magazines like Sports Illustrated
rarely tackle more than the most cursory issues in the
league.
SI did delve into the "matter" of the Montreal
Canadiens. who suffered an atrocious start to the sea-
son, Montreal fired

both hailed as
Saviors of St
Catherine's just
three seasons ago.
when Les Habitants
won their millionth Stanley Cup.
One of its columnists penned a piece for the "Point
After" section, words to the effect that Montreal
would be picking pretty high in next year's entry
draft
Oh. SI. please stick to the NFL and NBA like all
your counterparts, you'll save yourself a lot of embar-
rassment.
Montreal is one point back of Pittsburgh for first
place in the Northeast Division. And while much of
the credit for its resurgence must go to some new
faces — new coach Mario Tremblay. the real Mark
Recchi (not that imitation playing at Le Forum last
season), and Brian Savage, who simply cannot be the
same man he was before he racked up 1 5 goals in the
Canadiens' 16 games this year.
But before you start burying a veteran team just
because it slows down a bit (this means you.
Michael Farber). remember we can all get a sec-
ond wind And there's one man who's stuck
through thick and thin for Montreal, hails from the
city, and is one of the best ever to play his posi-
tion. Need a hint? No less than five active NHL
goalies — good ones — play in net because of what
he did for that spot. He is Patrick Roy. Heard of
him'.'
Roy has had a fascinating career marked by unpar-
alleled success. Montreal won Stanley Cups in
1985-86 and 1992- 95. perhaps Roy's two worst reg-
ular seasons. But in those playoffs. Roy was, well, St,
Patrick, lough to be when you're a French-Canadian,
not Irish, If his goals against average soared above
4,00 after that second championship, he'd still be
hailed forever as a legend.
It never got close to that bad for Roy. though of
course he felt a lot of the heat for Montreal's failure
to reach the playoffs last year for the first time since
the Hming Dynasty.
A 2.97 GAA and a ,906 save percentage (Roy's
1994-95 totals)'? Perhaps not quite Royesque. but far
from indication that he's washed up.
Women's swim team drowns Northeastern

All but one swimming event was won by the
Minutewomen as the team swam to a convincing 205,5 to
94,5 victory on Saturday, in women's swimming and div-
ing action at Boyden Gymnasium,
L'Mass defeated the Northeastern Huskies in a duel
swimming and diving meet, for their second victory in as
many meets this year,
"It's been many, many years since I can remember that
we have been off to a 2-0 start," coach Bob Newcomb
said.
This meet saw four UMass swimmers take first place in
each of their two respective swimming events on the day.
Senior Sarah Baker took first place in both of the 50
and 100 yard freestyle events with times of 24,56, and
53,60 respectively,
"She's the kind that will just get faster as the year goes
on." said Newcomb,
Her teammates |ill Carrol and Amy Mullen were right
behind her in capturing second and third place in the 100
freestyle. It was one of four events on the day that the
Minutewomen had the top three finishers.
The other events that saw UMass placing the top three
finishers, were the 500 yard freestyle, the 200 yard indi-
vidual medley, and the 200 yard freestyle relay, in which
1 2 members were involved.
"Finishing 1-2-3 is hard to do against a school the qual
ity of Northeastem." Newcomb said.
Sophomore Kerrin McCarthy was one of the four with
two first place finishes. She won both the 100 and 200
yard backstroke.
Senior lessica Griffith took the victory in her strong
suit, the breaststroke. with first place in the 100 and 200
yard events.
junior lessica Farley swam well winning the 200 yard
freestyle, and the 200 yard individual medley, as well a^
placing second in the 200 yard backstroke,
"She had a good meet." said Newcomb. "She had some
pretty good swims for this early in the season,"
lunior Barbara Hickey had another fine meet as she took
care of the distance events winning the 500 and 1000 yard
freestyle races, with over a 30 second victory in the 1000
with a time of 10:35.16.
"She went even faster this week," said Newcomb, "She
experimented a little bit, and she'll get used to swimming
both the 500 and 1000 yard freestyles."
UMass has been swimming very well as a team, and
Newcomb is satisfied with the results.
"It was very pleasing." said Newcomb. "Being so
close with Northeastern the past few years, it was good
to get a win like this. They swam well. We swam much
better."
Lisa McNamara swam real well. Newcomb pointed out.
McNamara picked up third place in the 1000 yard
freestyle, with a time of 11:11,57,
"That was an excellent time for her." said Newcomb. "I
think that convinced her that she's on track now."
UMass was outscored in the diving competition howev-
er, after being outscored in only one swimming event on
the day.
"Diving is such a subjective thing." Newcomb said.
"Northeastern has had one of the most consistent diving
programs since I've been here."
UMass did have a good showing off the boards though
as divers: sophomore Angelique Rodriguez, freshman
Kim Schadt and junior Krystin Carpenter put forth their

UMass hoop recruits now total four
By Matt Vaulour
Collegian Staff
To make up for last year's limited
recruiting, the Massachusetts coach-
ing staff continues its frenzied
recruiting pace this year.
Coach lohn Calipari headed home
to land the fourth recruit of the early
signing period, Calipari, who hails
from Moon. Penn, got a letter of
intent from Pittsburgh native Chris
Kirkland,
The 6 -foot-6 forward shunned
offers from St. Bonaventure,
Duquesnc. Villanova and several
other schools to sign with UMass,
He averaged 20 points and 14
boards for Stow Rox High School as
a junior last year.
Stow Rox Coach Ed Goetz told
the Daily Hampshire Gazette that
Kirkland was "the hardest working
player he ever coached." and that
Kirkland "loves the UMass style of
play."
* * *
Kirkland joins point guard Monte
Mack (South Boston), forward Mike
Babul (North Attleboro) and swing-
man Winston Smith (Elizabeth. N|)
as the incoming freshmen for next
year.
The addition of Kirkland solidifies
the small forward position which
will likely push UMass out of the
running for Kevin Freeman and
Andre McCullom. a small forward
who the Minutemen had been
recruiting,
Massachusetts is still looking for a
big man however, and is hoping to
get one more recruit signed before
the early signing period ends on
Wednesday.
UMass has been in hot pursuit of
Ajmal Basit. a 6-foot-9 center who
plays for Bob Hurley Sr. at St.
Anthony's in Jersey City.
The Minutemen are in Shamel

Clinton, GOP point fingers as
budget accord can*t be reached
By David Espo
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — With the
Smithsonian's museums shuttered
and federal workers sent home in
droves, the Clinton administration
and Republican leaders failed to
reach accord on the budget Tuesday
and sharply attacked each other over
a partial government shutdown. "At
this time. I have to tell you we are at
an impasse." White House Chief of
Staff Leon Panetta said after several
hour5 of talk> with GOP leaders
ended without agreement
With the shutdown less than one
day old. however. Republicans
moved to shelter certain politically
popular programs from disruption.
House Speaker Newt Gingrich said
legislation would likely begin moving
"in the next day or two" to reopen
facilities such as Social Security
offices so new applications could be
taken, veterans' offices, passport
facilities and possibly national parks
Both sides seemed to be digging in,
though, on the overall issue of getting
the entire government back into
operation.
"Let's say 'Yes' to balancing the
budget, hut let us together say 'No' to
these deep and unwise cuts in educa-
tion, technology, the environment.
Medicare and .Medicaid." Clinton
said in an assault on the GOP budget
priorities.
Gingrich quickly retaliated, saying
Clinton was accusing the GOP of
"phony cuts that do not exist." He
said the president's own balanced
budget proposal would perpetuate
deficits forever, and he challenged
Clinton to help negotiate a seven-year
plan to erase deficits "without
baloney."
The first effects of the shutdown
were felt as the political positioning
unfolded, although essential services
such as the nation's defense, air traf-
fic control system and prison opera-
tions were maintained without inter-
ruption.
"Due to the federal government
'shutdown. the Smithsonian
Institution must be closed." read
signs posted up and down
Washington's Mall, home to muse-
ums where millions flock annually to
gaze at exhibits of art. space explo-
ration, natural history and more.
Mary |o Kampe. visiting from
Williamston. Mich., missed a long-
awaited White House tour and was
turned away at the nearby Holocaust
Museum as well. "I have waited a
very long time for this so I'm very
upset, disappointed." she said.
Some 800.000 of the 2.1 million
federal civilian workers in
Washington and around the world
had a place to go — home from their
offices after reporting to work and
being told their services were
nonessential.
The American Federation of
Government Employee^- filed a law-
suit challenging the administra-
tion's handling of the situation,
including its definition of essential
workers and its authority to require
them to work without knowing
when they would be paid. A federal
judge scheduled a hearing for
Thursday.
The inconvenience penetrated even
the Senate's private preserve.

U.S. societal problems
examined by Marable
By Hemdn Roiemberg
CoHegion Sloff
The consequences and ultimate
success of the Civil Rights
Movement of the 1960s and
1 970s are being put into question
in the 1990s by many, and lay at
the very center of a debate that
shapes social relations in America.
Professor Manning Marable
tackled this issue Monday as he
read from and discussed his latest
book. Beyond Black and While:
Transforming African-American
Politics, which, ideally, he would
like to be taken as a modern,
updated version of W.E.B. Du
Bois' classic The Souls of Black
Folk
Marable gave examples of some
major subjects
that he looks at fi
in his book: the
Clarence
Thomas contro-
versy, the
Rodney King
beating and
ensuing riots in
Los Angeles, the
debate over
affirmative
action and "the
politics of race,"
Ca li forn i a ' s
Proposition 187
and legislation
for welfare
reform.
Relating how
he began to engage in such issues,
Marable spoke on growing up in
his hometown. Born in Dayton.
Ohio, in 1950, he experienced
segregation in the same way as it
was commonly practiced in the
South.
"The black community existed
primarily in its own world."
Marable said.
Marable said that racial dis-
crimination was an everyday fac-
tor in the lives of black people. He
said his own father, holder of «
master's degree, was denied job
after job not for being unqualified,
but simply because he was black.
"Race existed as a sort of
prison" where society was separat-
ed along racial lines, and where
"blacks were seen as practically
sub-human." Marable said.
Taking this sentiment from over
three decades ago, Marable said
that this still fits into the
COUIITf
Manning
American societal structure nowa-
days — from the black perspec-
tive, race is "created from within
and imposed from without."
because although blacks see soci-
ety along racial lines, it is still
whites that determine the way the
society is shaped.
In 1995. after so long and hard
a struggle that has brought many
positive societal changes, black
Americans are still not seen as
equals by whites, and not treated
in such manner according to
Marable.
"To be black in 1995 means ...
the reality of your being is still
being denied." Marable said.
One of the most crucial prob-
lems facing a renewed movement
for equality and justice is that the
political right
has a much
more organized
platform than
the left.
"White con-
servatives
understand
'strategically the
power of race"
in American
"■ociety today, so
that they can
engage in a
"cynical manip-
ulation" of
blacks and oth-
ers. Marable
said.
This is in
direct connection with the fact
that the gains of the civil rights
era never allowed blacks to get
their hands on capital, the basic
element to ultimate success in a
capitalist society.
The importance of access to
control over capital is crucial in
order to understand the problem:
according to Marable. the top one
percent of American households
hold more material wealth than
the bottom 95 percent.
This need for controlling the
rise of success among American
ethnic minorities has made race "a
vehicle for orienting the politics of
the right." Marable said.
According to Marable. another
method of white conservatist con-
trol is imprisonment through
manipulation of the criminal jus-
tice system. He siad that 600.000

because the S«iate's restaurants were
closed.
Senior White House aides met at
midday with key lawmakers, the two
sides arranging themselves around a
green, felt-covered table in one of the
Senate's committee meeting rooms.
They reconvened a few hours later,
but that session, like the first, yielded
no agreement.
Sen. Pete V. Domenici. RN.M.,
said no further meetings had been
set. although staff contacts would
continue.
And with the government's routine
borrowing authority expiring as well.
Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin said
he would lake unspecified steps "to
avert the default that will otherwise
take place."
The shutdown was triggered
Monday night when Clinton vetoed
legislation necessary to maintain reg-
ular government spending, saying he
did so because it would have raised
Medicare premiums. A White House
meeting that lasted until the mid-
night hour failed to resolve the
impasse.
Earlier, Clinton vetoed a measure
necessary to extend government bor-
rowing authority, citing provisions he
said would restrict Rubin's ability to
manage the government's finances.
Despite the uncertainty, financial
markets reacted calmly to the events
in Washington.
At the White House, spokesman
Mike McCurry replied with an abrupt
"Yes," when asked if he thought the
government would remain shut down
Wednesday, and he said the standoff
could be lengthy.
"It may be... because the president
hat just now told you that those pri-
orities refiected in that budget will
not be accepted and he has point-
blank told them that this president is
willing to give up his presidency on
that proposition rather than accept
those budget priorities," McCurry
said.
At the Capitol. Democrats in both
houses sought to pass short-term leg-
islation to reopen the government,
but majority Republicans blocked
votes in the proposals.

Chabad House introduces Blum as new coordinator
By Jocob W. Mkhotb
Collegian Staff
The University of Massachusetts is far from the
concrete canyons of New York City, where resi-
dents are accustomed to seeing black coated reli-
gious lews walking around. Thus, students often
give strange looks when they see members of
UMass' Chabad House walking around on cam-
pus.
Wearing a black coat and hat. and with a full
beard, people like Yonah Blum, the new outreach
coordinator for Chabad, are often the subject of
strange stares and hastily- conceived opinions.
In fact, Blum says that is the hardest problem of
his new job.
"There's a big stereotype out there about the
Chabad movement, the Chabad/Lubavitcher move-
ment. What I do is I walk around with this black
hat and beard and right away people say this guy's
different and don't give me a chance."
Blum said one of his major goals is to break the
stereotypes by letting people get to knt)w him and
"get under the hat and beard... Let people know
we're normal people."
So far the Washington D.C. native has had a lot
of success. "I've been coming up for the last couple
years to help out Rabbi jChaim) Adelman. So far
the response has been nice. People are very warm
and open here. It's great here "
The Rabbinical College student first came to be
involved with UMass several years ago when a stu-
dent from the school went to his Yeshixu. Adelman
set up a program, with the UMass student acting as
a liaison, to bring Yeshiva students to UMass for
the weekend Shabbat services.
As for how he came to be at the Rabbinical
school in the first place. Blum said he was not real-
ly sure. "I wasn't religious my whole life. I grew up
like most people in the whole world. "
Then as he got older, he became more interested
in his religion, he explained. "I went off to
Rabbinical school to learn more about it. and one
thing leads to another, and I got more and mure
interested."
Now that he is taking a break from his formal
studies to work here full time, Blum said his work
is "basically campus outreach." He said he spends
time at a table set up on the Campus Center
Concourse, as well as in the other Five College
schools.
"I get people aware of the Chabad House and the
programs we have there," he explained
As for what he wants to do. Blum said he is
starting with "small goals for now."
"Basically. I just want to help strengthen Jewish
activities on campus. b<K)st attendance at Chabad.
get more people to come to our Shabbat services."
And for Blum to do that, he will need to get peo-
ple to liwk under the black hat and beard to see the
beneath it is a normal person, one who spends time
on Sundays looking for some place to watch his
Washington Redskins in their weekly game.
Officials question motives behind Middle East
ByADNANMAUK
Associated Press
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia— For
thousands of Americans living in
Saudi Arabia, the kingdom seemed
one of the few safe havens in the
Middle East, a region plagued by ter-
rorism.
That sense of security vanished
Monday when a bomb destroyed a
U.S. -run military training facility,
killing five Americans and a Filipino
and injuring 60.
On Tuesday, a seventh person died
from injuries suffered in the bomb-
ing, according to U.S. Defense
Department spokesman Lt. Cmdr.
Scott Campbell. The victim was not
American, and further details were
not known.
Some of the wounded remained in
critical condition.
"We were shocked because some-
one we know was in that building
and was badly injured," said Lee
Crowley, a banker from New York
who has lived in Riyadh for six years.
Crowley said his close friend
underwent four hours of surgery and
required more than 100 stitches.
"You can imagine how badly she was
hurt," he said.
U.S. embassy spokesman (effrey
Thomas said an FBI team arrived in
Riyadh on Tuesday, but declined to
give further details. A dozen
American investigators in red helmets
and boots joined hundreds of Saudi
Arabian colleagues Tuesday in lifting
tangled metal, smashed concrete and
other debris left by the deadly bomb.
Security men cordoned off the
streets, while tractors removed huge
piles of rubble.
The blast occurred outside the
modem, three-story building that was
the headquarters for a U.S. Army
program which provides American
military and civilian advisers to mod-
ernize the Saudi National Guard.
Despite three claims of responsibil-
ity, it was still not clear who carried
out the attack. It was also not known
whether it was an isolated incident or
part of a wider campaign against the
ruling alSaud family and the
Americans who work for them.
While many mysteries remain, one
thing is clear— the building was
extremely vulnerable by Middle F^ast
standards.
Many buildings used by the U.S.
government and the military in the
region are notable for their fortress
walls and elaborate security. But per-
petrators of Monday's attack were
apparently able to place a powerful
bomb on the street next to the build-
ing where some 200 Americans were
working.
U.S. Ambassador Raymond Mabus
said the explosion was caused by a
bomb, and other U.S. officials have
said preliminary evidence suggests it
was a car bomb.
U.S. officials have not discussed
security at the site, but the embassy
urged Americans in the kingdom to
be "extremely cautious and vigi-
lant."
Saudi Arabia, the world's biggest
oil exptirter, has been a ck)sc ally of
the United States for decades. Tens
of thousands of U.S. citizens have
worked in the kingdom, and
Americans played a prominent role in
developing the country's oil industry.
The United States sent hundreds of
thousands of troops to the kingdom
during the 1990 91 Gulf crisis, and
the American forces led the multina-
tional coalition that drove the Iraqi
forces out of Kuwait.
Muslim fundamentalists oppose
the presence of U.S. and other
Western troops on Saudi soil, but
there had been no terrorist attacks
against the Americans before
Monday.
Two obscure groups claimed
responsibility Monday, but neither
could be verified, according to
Mabus Iraqi television reported
Tuesday that another unknown
group, the Fighting Organization of
the Partisans of God. also had
claimed responsibility.
Meanwhile. Middle East analysts
said the Saudi Arabian
government's heavy-handed policy
toward its opponents was an underly-
ing cause of the attack.
"The absence of democracy (in
Saudi Arabia) is a recipe for vio-
lence." said l^bib Kamhawi. a politi-
cal scientist at Jordan University, in
Amman, lordan. "I think what hap-
pened ushers a new era (of violence)
there and similar actions will ensue.

Mystery surrounds
Waldholtz divorce
By KimbeHey Mt^phy
Asiociated Preis
SALT LAKE CITY— Rep. Enid
Waldholtz filed for divorce Tuesday
from her husband, who has been
missing for three days and is under
federal investigation for possible
campaign Financing improprieties.
"1 can't begin to describe the anger
and hurt over the incredible level of
deception that we have uncovered in
our own investigation of joe's activi-
ties," the freshman Republican con-
grcsswoman said in a statement.
"I want this man tracked down,
arrested and punished for what he
has done to me. my family and the
people of Utah.* she said of her hus-
band of two years.
Mrs. Waldholtz asked a court to
grant her sole custody of the cou-
ple's 2 l/2-month-old daughter. She
also said she would ask for permis-
sion to restore her maiden name.
Greene.
|oe Waldholtz is the focus of a fed-
eral investigation into the couple's
finances that apparently began when
the congressional credit union com-
plained about large overdrafts.
As word of the investigation
became public, a profile emer^ of a
man who convinced his wife he was
worth millions, and spent borrowed
money as though he were.
Police, congressional staffers and
family members said Tuesday they
had no idea where joe Waldholtz
went after he was last seen Saturday
at National Airport near Washington,
where his parked car was found.
Waldholtz. until Saturday his
wife's unpaid campaign treasurer,
was not considered a fugitive, but
Kevin Ohison, a spokesman for U.S.
Attorney Eric Holder, confirmed he
was uivlec federal investigation.
A justice Department source
speaking on condition of anonymity
said Tuesday that a federal arrest
warrant likely will be issued, but it is
at least a week away.
Mrs. Waldholtz said her initial
reaction had been to stand by her
husband. 'I trusted him. I was
wrong. My daughter has been aban-
doned by her father and that is unac-
ceptable.* she said. She promised a
full accounting of her finances.
"We all deserve to know the
truth,* she said.
The federal investigation began
with a complaint by a congressiorul
credit union about large overdrafts in
the Waldholtzes' accounts, a justice
Department source said.
Russ Behrmann, state Republican
executive director, said |oe
Waldholtz wrote at least $60,000 in
worthless checks during the cam-
paign.
Multi-party rule begins
in Mexico after election
By Trina Kiwst
Auociatod Presi
MEXICO CITY — Opposition
advances in elections in six slates
have fKit an end to Mexico's sin-
gle-party rule, political observers
declared Tuesday.
The ruling Institutional
Revolutionary Party, or PRI,
stayed ahead as ballot counting
continued Tuesday from Sunday's
elections for stale and local
offices.
But voter anger over wide-
spread economic hardship put
opposition candidates in the
mayor's seats in the state capitals
of Morelia, Puebia, Culiacan and
Oaxaca City.
"The PRI no longer is the
majority party in Mexico," said
Porfirio Munoz Lcdo, chairman of
the leftist Democratic Revolution
Party. "The country is now tri-par-
tisan.*
The conservative, pro-business
National Action has been the big
winner in recent elections, taking
three governorships this year and
edging out Democratic Revolution
as the No. 2 political power. "On
Sunday the PAN (National
Action) freed more territory from
PRI oppression than Zapatista
rebels have during two years of
war." National Action president
Carlos Castillo Peraza told busi-
ness leaders Tuesday.
Castillo Peraza was referring to
a simmering indigenous rebellion
in southern Chiapas state since
Jan. 1, 1994.
Democratic Revolution has suf-
fered major setbacks in guberna-
torial races and has lost ground to
National Action. But the party
continued to advance at the coun-
ty level in the states of Michoacan,
where it is leading the PRI. and in
Oaxaca.
With 74.2 percent of votes
counted for governor of
Michoacan. PRI candidate Victor
Manuel Tinoco Rubi led with 38.6
percent, and appeared the winner
over Democratic Revolution can-
didate Cristobal Arias, who had
51.5 percent.
Some analysts had suggested
that governor's race was a referen-
dum on the future of the leftist
party, which is plagued by disor-
ganization and infighting.
Hut party leaders pointed out
that Democratic Revolution
received more than one-third of
the vote in the governor's race
and scores of mayorships arouiKl
the country.

black inmates make up nearly hulf
the total number of prisoners. Out of
these, one out of four is between 1 8
and 29 years old.
Although clearly expressing his dis-
mayal at such statistics — signs of
continued racism — Marable said
that "it is difficult but not impossible
in the 1990s to lalk about radical
politics."
Our greatest challenge is ... to pro-
vide progressive alternatives" under
the umbrella of "radical niuiti- cul-
luralism." the only path left for actual
advancement, Marahic said.
"I Blacks I must begin the process
of redefining blackness, which will . . .
eventually transform their world,"
Marable concluded.

Taking charge of your life
The phone wa.s always ringing in our house.
Thai Saturday, a few years ago now. was no dif-
ferent. Call after call and ring after ring would
stream into our kitchen as my brother and sister secretly
hoped the incoming phonecall was for them and not the
other.
On Maah 20. 1492. a phonecall. which should have
been one of our friends, shattered my perception of reality
and left me in shock of how my friend Todd chose to die
rather than tu live
The night before we received the
phonecall. Todd committed suicide. ^^^^-^^^^
Three years later, the death of my
good friend since second grade, still
remains a mystery to me and many
others. What perhaps tears at me the
most is how Todd was unhappy living
and thus chose death as his altema-
live.
No matter how bad life gets, suicide
would never be an option for me.
After all. don't we all learn from our
hardships''
My friend didn't see it this way.
Neither did the two eighth grade
Miami students who committed sui-
cide last week together after being for-
bidden to date or see each other.
An Associated Press article published in the Springfield
L'niort A/ew's on Nov. 9 said the two eighth sweethearts
apparently drowned themselves) in a canal, leaving suicide
notes that told of their undying love, their desperation,
and their hope of being together in another world.
The I J-year-old girl. Maryling Flores. wrote in a sui-
cide note addressed to her mother and father. "You'll
never be able to understand the love between me and
Christian."
She also wrote "You don't let me see him in this
world, so we're going to another place. Please don't cry
for me. this is what I want. I want to feel happy,
because I'm going to a place where I can be with
Christian "
Police officer. Ramon Quintero. who knows both of the
victim's families, described the deaths as a 'Romeo and
luliet story." It certainly sounds this way. doesn't it?
There is cme difference though Romeo and luliet was a
play. The suicides of Flores and 14-year~old Christian
Davila was real life. To categorize the deaths of these two
teenagers as a 'Romeo and Juliet" type death fantasizes

their double suicides, thus making it somewhat attractive.
The fact remains that two people, barely teenagers,
believed the world had nothing else to offer them than
each other.
It saddens me to realize people believe life could be that
hopeless.
Now, it's too late for them. They will never realize the
full capacity of their minds. What about graduation from
high school or college? What about a career? The joy of
being parents?
What perhaps frightens me the
most is they will never have the
chatKe to come to know themselves,
who they are. and what they could
have done for society.
It seems so cheap to say that these
two kids were part of a "Romeo and
luliet story."
Weren't they, couldn't they, have
been so much more?
The circumstances surrounding
this tragic occurrence last week
stirred up painful memories of my
friend Todd who killed himself in a
time and at a place which seems like
yesterday.
I was with him just hours before
his life was gone forever, and not a
day goes by that I don't replay the entire scene over in my
mind. We all miss him.
What could we have done''
I sigh to write that probably nothing I could have done
would have saved Todd that night. Flores and Davilla
believed the same. Another world — death, was more
attractive to them than life as we know it.
I could never believe that things could become so
painful for me that I would have to die to be happy.
People must begin to realize that YOU must make
things happen. YOU must make yourself happy. YOU
must believe in yourself, no matter how difficult it may
be. despite AN\'THING that happens.
When you believe such things, you will become empow-
ered atHJ your life will become fixused.
You will want to live.
I only wish that my friend Todd and the two children in
Miami would have agreed. Unfortunately, it's too late for
them.
Take charge of your life ... it's not too late for you.

Zionism and assassination
Hussein
Ibish
In the wake of the assassina-
tion of Israeli Prime Minister
Yitzhak Rabin, among the fas-
cinating questions that grief-
stricken Zionists have been asking
themselves are: How could assassi-
nation become part of the Israeli
political scene, and how could one
jew murder another?
Such questions are bom of either
a profound ignorance of the history
of Zionism, or a deep racial chau-
vinism, or in most cases, both.
One recalls the reaction of Rabin
and his wife Leah to reporters' sug-
gestions that Rabin
wear a bullet-proof
vest. "After all." the
Rabins scoffed, "we
don't live in Africa,"
The truth is. of
course. Zionism and the State of
Israel have always used political
assassination, as well as terrorism,
massacres and ethnic cleansing, as
a primary means of achieving polit-
ical goals, and a preferred method
of dealing with those they dislike,
pioneering the use of letter bombs
and other innovative methods of
assassination.
In the conflict in Palestine during
the I940's. hundreds of
Palestinians and British were assas-
sinated by the three armed Zionist
organizations, which coordinated
their efforts.
Among these included Lord
Moyne. the British Resident
Minister in the Middle East, and
his driver, killed in Cairo on Nov.
6. 1944 on the orders of Yitzhak
Shamir.
The future head of Mossad and
Prime Minister of Israel Shamir
also organized and ordered the
assassination of the UN Mediator
on Palestine. Count Folke
Bernadotie and his aide. Colonel
Serot. on Sept. 17. 1948.
Between January and May of
1948, hardly a day passed without
another assassination of
Palestinians by the Zionists.
Along with the hundreds of
Palestinians assassinated during
the I940's. the Israeli state con-
ducted numerous international
campaigns of terrorist assassina-
tions.
In the 1950's. Mossad carried
out a series of letter bombings. In
the late 1960's. under the guid-
ance of Golda Mier. Mossad chief
Zvi Zamir launched a huge cam-
paign of assassinations, sending
hit squads around the world to
kill.
On June 1. 1972. Israel mur-
dered 56-year-old Palestinian
poet Ghassan Kanafani and his
17-year-old niece. Another bril-
liant Palestinian intellectual. Wael
Zuaiter was gunned down in
Rome. .Mahmud Hamshari. Dr.
Basil Al Kubaissi. and dozens
more followed in quick succes-
sion.
In one orgy of assassination,
Israeli hit squads
rampaged through
Beirut on April 9.
1975. gunning
down Yussuf El-
Najar and his wife,
Kamal Nasser, and Kamal Adwan,
among many others. Throughout
the I970's and 1980's scores of
respected Palestinians were gunned
down by Israeli hit squads through-
out Europe and the Middle East.
Many Lebanese were also assas-
sinated in cold bold, as by the
Israeli helicopter gunship that
tracked and murdered Sheikh
Mussawi. his wife and
three-year-old son.
Many leaders of the Intifada
were assassinated by Rabin's death
squads, and recent assassinations
of Palestinian resistance leaders
shows that this policy remains in
effect.
Gentiles aside, Zionism has also
never hesitated to sacrifice the lives
of lews in the name of the |ewish
State.
As early as June. 1924. the
well-respected Law Professor and
anti-Zionist Dutch jew. Professor
De Haan was shot down outside
his Jerusalem synagogue after
prayers.
In luly. 1955, Zionist
Revisionists assassinated Chaim
Arlosoroff, lewish Agency Political
Director. Revisionist leader Shamir
later assassinated his rival, Eliayu
Giladi.
Many other attacks on lews fol-
lowed, including, for example
against Moussa Sabatini, mur-
dered in 1940 as a "traitor" by the
left-Hagana, and Police
Constables Haim Gutevitch and
Zev Flesch, assassinated in May
1944.
In a stunning example of this
kind of activity, the Hagana blew
up a lewish refugee ship in 1940.
the Patria. The British govern-
ment placed 1.900 illegal lewish
settlers in Palestine aboard the
Patria for transportation to
Mauritius.
The lewish Agency and its
armed wing determined that if
these refugees couldn't live in
Palestine, then they shouldn't live
at all and, as the Patria was leav-
ing Haifa harbor on Nov. 25,
1940. they blew the ship sky high.
240 innocent lewish refugees
were murdered by the Zionists in
this stunning but little-known
action. For the insane political
reasoning behind the action, as
well as details of the killings,
readers are encouraged to consult
the account of the Hagana officer
who planted the mine. Munya
Mardor, in his memoirs. Strictly
Illegal (London: Robert Hale,
1964).
Furthermore, once the State of
Israel had been established and rid
of its Palestinian inhabitants.
Israel conducted acts of
anti-lewish terrorism in order to
spur immigration to Israel by cre-
ating fear in Arab lewish commu-
nities.
In Baghdad, for example, the
Israeli government engaged in a
series of bombings. In lanuary
1951, an Israeli government
anti-lewish bomb exploded at the
Massaude Shemtove Synagogue,
killing one young lewish boy. Much
of the Jewish community fled to
Israel in a panic.
Another chilling example of this
willingness to sacrifice lewish
lives in the Zionist cause is the
withholding of 50,(X)0 certificates
for entry into Palestine by the
lewish Agency at the height of
Nazi persecution. They feared that
these certificates might be used
for transit rather than coloniza-
tion and withheld them on the
grounds that, as Jewish Agency
head Yitzhak Gruenbaum said.
"One Jewish cow in Palestine is
worth more than all the lews in
Poland."
Let us have no more questions,
then, about Zionism and assassina-
tion. History screams answers,
even into deaf ears.

Opinion/Editorial
Ignorance can
be bliss
To the Editor:
Organizations such as ALANA are
contributors to the racial divide at
UMass and more remotely, in
America. Hernan Rozemberg dis-
cussed the issue of multiculturalism
and the whites inability to take part
in it or to understand it. His solution
was to advocate the ideas of ALANA
to facilitate the rules of race in rela-
tion to American society. Nothing
could be more fatal.
As Hernan discusses. ALANA
wishes to strengthen minorities
within themselves to solve racial
problems. As one ALANA member
stated to me. "You white people had
your chance." When diij I have a
chance? I grew up in a multi-racial
family, with little knowledge that my
black sister was involved in a racial
battle. I did not know her rights
were discriminated against. Her first
position in my life was a family
member, then a German, then a
woman.
I never view her as black. Before
someone jumps to the conclusion:
"How could you understand her
strife, you are white." she didn't
know she was black in the loosely
termed cultural sense or in the skin
tone sense. My sister is retarded
and has no knowledge of racial
issues. One can certainly say this
goes in the "ignorance is bliss" cat-
egory.
How about the methods of society
did not impact her? Conscience of
color is not inherent, it is taught and
learned by society. To suggest a black
culture or a white culture is com-
pletely unjustified. The ever so popu-
lar term "multiculturalism" just
means multi-colored.
When Hernan is suggesting white
people who ignore the term
multi-cultural are ignorant, perhaps
it is because they are educated. The
editor of the column admits to not
even knowing what it is. So what the
hell is he doing editing the section?
He should also brush up on his
African history.
It is a fact that Africans kept fel-
low Africans as slaves. Any outcasts
to their society were sold in the slave
trade for European goods. No one
can loosely say that whites kept
blacks as slaves without acknowledg-
ing that blacks kept black slaves.
This example is the very problem
we face. Blacks and whiles cannot
look at humanity rationally. Instead,
we ch{x)se our facts to fit what soci-
ety has told us. Since Hernan wants
white people to look at the truth, 1
can tell him what it is. There is no
race, only racism.
The term race has been poorly
used to define the color differences
which are biologically, not cultural-
ly, defined. So as ALANA desires to
define itself on racial unity, they are
defined on nothing. The only unity
that should be promoted is that of
humanity. Without the constraints
of society, we are not blacks,
whites, or yellows, we are all
humans.

Insulted by "Top
Ten List"
To the Editor:
I am writing this letter in response
to the "Top Ten List" that Brian
Marchionni published in the
Collegian on Nov. 10, 1995. I found
this attempt at humor to be offensive
because it was, in part, a personal
attack on me. You see Mr.
Marchionni. 1 am one of the people
Letters to the Editor
who give "The Campus Tour." In
your list item number seven last
Friday, you stated that my colleagues
and I "lie until we are blue in the
face."
I ask you. Mr. Marchionni. what
gives you the right to make such a
broad judgmental statement'' Have
you personally gone on a tour with all
of the 15 tour guides that greet
prospective students and their fami-
lies? Have you yourself been on a
tour where you heard one of us lie? I
find it doubtful you could answer yes
to either of these questions, yet your
pen was quick to condemn us and
what we do.
I understand your list simply
intended to provide the campus com-
munity with a giwd laugh, but unfor-
tunately the laugh was on us. Friday
was Veteran's Day. and many high
schools had the day off. so we greet-
ed almost 800 prospective students
that day. many of whom read your
list. The effect this had on our credi-
bility and their conception of our
University was devastating.
Let me explain and enlighten you
as to what it is we really do on our
tours, so we can alleviate any types of
false accusations you may feel com-
pelled to make in the future due to
your own ignorance. Each year, the
University greets over 25,000
prospective students and their fami-
lies, from virtually all over the world.
We give them a one hour and 15
minute walking lour of our campus,
highlighting the many academic
departments, programs and opportu-
nities the University has to offer.
From this recruitment effort, we gain
an average of 18.0(X) applications for
undergraduate admission to the
University each year.
As tour guides, we all complete
over 40 hours of training to learn the
necessary information to provide our
visitors with the best, most up to date
information about our University and
the college selection process.
Once trained, we attend a meeting
every other week, where we gain
more up to date information, and we
frequently speak with representatives
from other campus departments and
agencies who further assist us in
attaining the necessary knowledge to
serve our visitors.
Throughout our tours, we provide
statistical facts to assist the students
in making their decision. We offer
objective information about our
University and we answer their ques-
tions about UMass. However, under
no circumstance do we lie or share
information that is not entirely true
and accurate with our visitors.
Simply because you may have
walked by a tour and heard a statistic
you did not know, or heard a state-
ment made that you personally, sub-
jectively may not have agreed with,
does not give you the right to attack
the integrity of my colleagues and
myself.
You have proven to the entire
campus community that you have no
problem making unsupported, unsub-
stantiated and unfair statements in
your list, so I can see how you may
find it easy to deceive thousands of
people as you have here. My col-
leagues and I do not.
We have a University here in
Amherst that we should be proud
of, and we present this University
with integrity, Mr. Marchionni.
What I saw in print by you last
Friday was nothing more than slop-
py work, and this University should
not and cannot tolerate this inade-
quacy.
One of the things we love to tell
people about on our tours is the
Collegian, the largest New England
college daily newspaper. We tell our
visitors that ours is second to none in
reporting accurate, interesting and
thought provoking news. If you keep
printing columns that are unsubstan-
tiated like you did last Friday Mr.
Marchionni. you just might make
liars out of us after all.

Senator lacks
knowledge of
women's issues
To the Editor:
On the evening of Nov. 8. the
Senate voted against the motion by
Senator Gafney to "provide for the
procedures for the creation of a cau-
cus." Although this may sound like a
repeal on women's rights and a lack
of recognition that women's voices
are underrepresented on this campus,
it was not.
Although I am a woman and a
feminist. I am also a senator. I am in
the Senate to represent my con-
stituency, but also other women's
voices on this campus. There are only
20 something women, representing
less than 50 percent of the vote in the
Senate.
A motion could pass right
through the Senate even if every
woman voted against it. Hence. I
feel there is a strong need for a
Women's Caucus. But. on the
evening of the 8th, I voted against
the motion by Gafney. It was not so
much because the motion, but
because of the way in which it was
presented to me.
About an hour before the Senate
meeting was the first time I heard
about this motion. I was a bit con-
fused, first of all, about why a boy
was sponsoring a motion represent-
ing this sort of caucus. I wondered
what qualification does this boy
have? Who is he to make decisions
about women's needs when he is a
male? And the most privileged kind,
white.
What does he know about what
women's issues are here on campus
besides what he might read in a book
or gather from bits of conversations?
Never before had I seen these men at
rallies for women's rights.
Never had I heard a peep out of
them before that evening about their
concern for women's issues. I was
very suspicious. What were they try-
ing to do? What was behind this?
What were their motives?
Not only hadn't the asked with any
woman on the Senate if they were
interested in helping, but they didn't
even check to see if someone had
already started working on it. which
Christine Lopes had.
What they did do, however, was
rush to the first available woman at
the Everywoman's Center and hurry
her on her way to forming a caucus.
There was no planning, no discussion
of procedure, no input from female
senators, and here were a few white
males deciding what the best ways to
deal with women's issues were.
Personally. I question their sincer-
ity. If there is going to be a
Women's Caucus on this campus
again, then it better be done the
right way. Speeding through the
process, with whatever motives
these men had. is not to create a
strong caucus that will be around in
a few years.
So, what I voted against on the
evening of the 8th was not women's
rights, but was the suspicious tactics
of Gafney. Their incomplete and
rushed plan for a Women's Caucus,
and their inability to see why this
motion would be offensive to
women in the Senate and all over
the campus. Chalkings and petitions
won't hold up this faulty scheme for-
ever.

Weather doesn't stop Starship
By Robert Gr«>v«r
Cdlegion Corresporxienl
JEFFERSON STAKSHV
Pearl St
Nov. 13
They joked about the weather. The
San Francisco based lefferson
Starship. who played at Peari Street
Monday night, thought the snow was
fun. Despite the unseasonably cold
weather, the Starship healed the hall
with their charged acoustic sound.
"We hail from a land that is 48
square miles surrounded by pure
reality* quipped the group's leader,
Paul Kantner.
They drew from the rich Bay Slate
musical heritage to spotlight new
vocalist Diana Mangano with songs
from the Great Society, a group
founded by Grace Slick in the 1960s,
lefferson Starship also played selec-
tions from their rich catalog of songs
but avoided performing staples such
as "Somebtxly To Love* and "White
Rabbit.* Kantner said that they play
those songs only "under the right
condition." but Starship wants to
escape the trappings of playing music
that no longer presents a challenge.
In keeping with this philosophy, the
audience was presented with a few
songs that haven't been heard live in
many years.
Kantner and Company dipped
back into the Airplane archive briefly
and pulled out the haunting 'Triad'
and the Donovan penned tribute "Fat
Angel." The latter contains the classic
line, "Fly lefferson Airplane, gets you
there on time." The remainder of the
show saw a balance of new material,
including one new unreleased tune,
some poetry and selections from
Kantner's solo work.
While Kantner's vision and focus
on the message of hope in the face
adversity fuels Starship. it was
Mangano's powerful vocals that drew
the most attention. She recently
boarded the Starship but has already
shown the ability and drive to be the
heir of former singer Slick. Together,
she and Kantner wove a single voice
that cut though the evening's cold
and warmed the room with a mes-
sage that confidently proclaimed,
"I'm not afraid of the future.*
Historical film to be shown tonight
By laura Slock
Collegian Staff
The Campus Center Auditorium will be host tonight to
a screening of one of the most powerful and inspiring
films in African-American history — Sankofa.
Sponsored by Afrik-Am and the Phi Beta Sigma frater-
nity, Hailc Gerima's honored and critically acclaimed film
about a young woman's transportation back to the time of
slavery will be presented for the first time on the
University of Massachusetts campus.
Sankofa. which is an Akin word meaning, "to go back
and reclaim something that was lost." chronicles the story
of a young African- American model named Mona. She
undergoes a mystical transformation in which she is trans-
ported to her distant past as a house slave. Shola. on a
sugar cane plantation..
Faced with the inhuman brutality of slavery. Shola
becomes inspired by the actions of her West Indian lover.
Shanga. and a field hand. Nunu. The three join forces and
rebel against the slave system. Shola's determination to
defy the system psychically transforms Mona. resulting in
the modem black woman better understanding the pre-
sent after being enlightened by her past.
Gerima. who emigrated to the United States from

Sankofa. which was filmed in lamaica and on Goree
Island off the coast of Senegal, West Africa, took over 20
years to make. Prior to its recent nrlease on video, there
were approximately 10 reels in existence nationwide.
Shown at Smith College last year, this year's coordina-
tor lames Waire found Sankofa to be so inspiring, power-
ful and motivating he thought it needed to be presented
again in the Valley.
"I have been working for the past year to bring Sankofa
back to the Valley." Waire said.
The historical importance of Sankofa, according to Waire.
is comparable to that of Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List.
"Similarly with Schindler's List, where every young
lewish person should see (the film) and learn and grow
from it. every African-American should see Sankofa.'
Waire said.
Sankofa is of social and historical importance because
it is about learning from, not forgetting about, the horrors
of past mistakes

Herter Gallery to present ceramic art
By Rebecca AAaioney

Participants include both undergraduate and gradu-
ate students as well as members of the community and
well- known professional artists.
Sponsored by the Arts Council, the University of
Massachusetts Ceramics Department and KERAMOS,
the exhibition draws together a wide pool of examples
of ceramic art from New England and New York
artists from all walks of life.
The first event of its kind in this area, the show
promises to draw attention to the tradition of ceramic
art that has long existed in this region. It will expose
students and members of the community to a variety
of works such as functional ware and various fired
methods that are representative of all ends of the
spectrum.
As standard for most competitions, the artists were
required to submit slides of their works. However,
while most juried competiliuns onl> require artists to
submit four- to-six slides, artists in this competition
were asked lo submit eight slides. In this way. jurors
were able to get a better idea of the fxitly of work that
was submitted.
In many cases more than one piece by an artist was
selected, resulting In what John Taylor, director of the
Craft Center describes as "a more cohesive show."
The slides were judged by the well-known artist and
author of several books on ceramics. Loon VIgrosh

New musical plays off Broadway
By Michael Kuchwara
Associated Press
NEW YORK — New American
musicals are an endangered species,
right up there with the whooping
crane and the spotted owl.
And Splendora. based on the novel
by Edward Swift, certainly is a rar-
efied creature. Although it won't sin-
gle-handedly save the American
musical theater from extinction, it is
an intriguing show, worth a visit
despite its (laws.
Blend a Horton Foote Texas
Memory play with an episode of tele-
vision's "Picket Fences" and you'll
have some idea of this oddball tale
now running at off-Broadway's
American Place Theater.
Jessica Calewood mysteriously
appears one day in Splendora. a small
town in east Texas. The pretty
woman, dressed in old-fashioned
clothes, has arrived to run the local
bookmobile.
The local biddies sniff and snoop.
There's something strange about
lessica that no one can figure out. A
young man. unseen by everyone else
on stage but lessica. is her constant
shadow. The lady has a secret — and
the authors an interesting plot device
— which the audience quickly dis-
covers.
When Jessica falls for the shy assis-
tant pastor of the local church, it
makes for one of the musical the-
ater's most peculiar love triangles.
Splendora takes chances with its
story; it doesn't with its score. Peter
Webb has written a literate book, one
that actually holds your interest as it
works its way to a genuinely sus-
penseful ending.
The music by Stephen Hoffman
and lyrics by Mark Campbell are
uneven. They occasionally lift the
spirits and even touch the heart, par-
ticularly in a trio for the young
woman, her shadow and the clergy-
man. Yet too often the songwriting
team settles for serviceable imitation
Sondheim, and lets the music just
mark time.
Hoffman and Campbell have dis-
tinctive voices. They just need to find
them — and to have more fun, espe-
cially in the comedy songs.
Nancy [ohnston is a ravishing
lessica and Michael Moore is most
effective as her enigmatic alter ego.
Ken Krugman is a manful, under-
standably bewildered preacher. And
Evalyn Baron deservedly gets most of
the evening's laughs as a suspicious
townsperson who figures out Jessica's
secret.
Director jack Hofsiss never lets the
musical slow down, at least in terms
of story, while Robert La Fosse, the
New York City Ballet tar. supplies
the minimal musical staging.
Consider Splendora a promise of
things to come, and you won't be dis-
appointed.
soap
continued from page 5
out the cast, but it spiked up the
"Loving" ratings.
A dozen "Loving' survivors got
the heck out of Corinth and moved
into a lovely old cast-iron loft build-
ing in Manhattan's SoHo district
where, a synopsis assures us. they'll
pursue "the dreams and despair of
city life."
It gets better. "Loving." which
debuted in June 1983 but never
had ratings success, hired some
instant soap-opera credibility in the
form of Morgan Fairchild. who
plays the media mogul Sydney
Chase.
Fairchild. who began her TV
career on "Search for Tomorrow."
and cut her prime-time teeth on
"Dallas* and "Falcon Crest." would
be a mainspring for anybody's soap.
Her Sydney is bright, brainy, sexy
and dangerous.
In her first entrance on the show.
Sydney stepped gracefully from the
cockpit of a helicopter, wearing a
white Versace suit and calf-high
boots. An anxious lover wailed in
the limo. "I've left my wife!" he
blurted.
"Why'd you want to go and do
that?" she replies, trivially annoyed.
She dumps him and heads for
Washington Square Park, where she
regularly plays — and beats — a
chess hustler.
Another "newcomer" is soap veter-
an Roscoe Bom as the itinerant gui-
tarist Nick Rivers — a guy with a
past, almost certain Sydney-bait.
Born has appeared on "Santa
Barbara." "One Life to Live' and
"Ryan's Hope.'
There are more than a dozen other
appealing characters in the mix of
"The City." and the pace of the show
is so brisk that you needn't wait long
for something to happen to some-
body.
What ultimately sets "The City"
apart from other soaiK is its cutting-
edge production techniques.
Instead of the stage set. studio
lighting and four-camera setup used
by sitcoms and soaps. "The City"
creates its loft building in a huge stu-
dio, and uses outdoor locations,
movie lighting and the single-camera
style of prime-time dramas like
"Homicide." "ER" and "NYPD Blue."
"The City' also uses every bit of
'90s technology available to it —
darting hand-held cameras, fioating
Steadicams and the boom camera's
overhead vantages and telephoto
shots.
Shot and edited on videotape. "The
City" is transferred to film to give it
that rich visual texture. Throw in a
hooky sound track with a driving beat
and "The City" makes quite a package
"The City' is such a breakthrough
that it can't be long before other
soaps arc dragged into the 21st cen-
tury and adopt similar techniques.
Even so. the other soaps might
have trouble catching up.
In just the first episode of 'The
City." the guys brought in a Persian
rug somebody had dumped in the
street. When they unrolled it. they
found a dead guy.
Hey. you've got to love this crazy
town.

"You Want It, We've Got It"
Pirates set sale with McClatchy aboard
By Alan Robinson
Associated Preii
PITTSBURGH — Kevin
McClaichy signed a final agreement
Tuesday to buy the Pittsburgh
Pirates and now need.s only the
approval of major league owners to
formally acquire the team.
McClatchy. who at ?2 is younger
than several Pirates players, will
likely be approved as the team's
fourth owner since World War II at
the major league owners meetings
Ian. 16-18 in Los Angeles.
A California businessman who has
convinced a dozen wealthy investors
to help him buy the money-losing
team. McClatchy already has been
approved by baseball's ownership
committee. Final approval u.sually is
a formality once the committee has
recommended a sale.
"I've had a lot of people say in a
nice way. Kevin, you've really
brought this process together, but I
look at it that we have a group of
local people who stepped up to the
plate and got this done." he vaid.
The agreement all but ends an
arduous I 5-monlh search to find a
buyer lor a historic franchise that has
labored to a-inain coinpctitiw in base
ball's fast -changing cvonomic climate.
"I think today is a significant
day. because we can now put the
dealings of this sale behind us and
start worrying about ... what goes
on on the field and off the field and
getting the fans back." McClatchy
said.
McClatchy, whose family owns
the McClatchy newspaper chain
but is not involved in the transac-
tion, will invest $10 million of his
own money.
Pulling on a Wack-and-gokl Pirates
cap that he had just purchased at a
downtown sporting goods store.
McClatchy said, "This is the most
expensive hat I've evcT bought."
Wait until he sees how much it
costs to run a major league base-
ball team, especially the 109-year-
old Pirates, who have lost an esti-
mated SbO million in the 1990s.
McClatchy's formula for solving
the small-market franchise's ever-
worsening financial dilemma:
Persuade fans turned off by the
Pirates' persistent problems and
the long players strike to return to
the ballpark: increase ancillary rev-
enue, such as advertising; and build
a new ballpark.
McClatchy of Sacramento, Calif.,
already has a signed agreement
with the city requiring financing
for the ballpark to be in place by
Nov. 1. 1998. If the funding isn't
completed by then, and the club
has lost $15 million, he would be
fret; to move the club elsewhere.
He doesn't expect that to hap-
pen.
"I'm very excited about where
we are today, and where we are
going to go," McCl^jchy said. "I
see great things for this franchise. I
see such things as a new stadium
and a competitive ballclub, and I
think we have some of the things in
place right now. We have the best
manager in baseball dim Leyland)
and we have a good management
team in place."
For now. he will keep all club
employees, including team president
Mark Sauer. whose hiring coincided
with the oft-successful club's long
backslide since its 1992 National
League playoffs loss to Atlanta.
Meanwhile. McClatchy's formal
agreement gives him until Dec. 22
to increase his estimated $59 mil-
lion in cash and equity to the $62
million required under baseball's
debt-to-equity ratio rules.
"If anyone has followed this
process and the progress of this
group. $3 million in five weeks is
very attainable." McClatchy said.
At least one of his investors may
soon increase his stake, he said.
Pittsburgh businessman
Eugene Litman on Tuesday
became the sixth of the current
10 owners to join McClatchy's
ownership group. None of the six
will retain their board seals: they
paid $2.5 million apiece for their
shares, and McClatchy requires
$5 million from his general part-
ners.
Cleveland move isn't a fan favorite
By Dove Goldberg
Associated Press
Art Modell, it's been said, can sell anybody anything.
Until he tried to sell the Baltimore Browns to NFI. fans,
that is.
"Green Bay isn't as cold as Art Modcll's heart," read a
sign displayed during a game Sunday.
That game wasn't in Cleveland, it was in Green Bay.
where commissioner Paul Tagliabue was watching the
Packers and IWars.
Tagliabue is the man on the spot.
If it were up to him, he would probably like to find a way
to keep the Browns in Cleveland. Several top NFL people
long close to Modell have suggested that the Browns'
owner has done more harm to the league in the last week
than the good he did in 55 years. Thai good includes the
major role he's had in negotiating huge television contracts.
There is some reason to think Tagliabue believes the
same thing, although he has been very ciaumspecl in his
comments. But Tagliabue also believes it is not up to him.
He thinks it would be up to the courts if the owners turn
down the move, and that the NFL probably would lose a
long and protracted suit - as it has in the past.
The owners probably won't tm^n dowf the move.
Modell. the salesman, defused some dfJItc/O^jposition by
telling the owner#>44t>c' two New 'iork^eaini.. Wellington
Mara and Leon Hess, about it before word leaked out of
the move. Mara, one of Modell's closest friends, now as
much as says he will put his friendship first, although he
always has been a league traditionalist.
Two other members of the old guard. Buffalo's Ralph
Wilson and Kansas City's Lamar Hum. probably are the
strongest opponents of the move right now. although it is
conceivable public opinion in Ohio and elsewhere could
swing some others.
But nobody is happy the Browns won't be in Cleveland.
The closest similar shock was the move of the Colts from
Baltimore, but owner Bob Irsay had been building up to
that. And. frankly, Irsay had (and has) little or no tvspecl
around the NFL.
Modell, on the other hand, had a lot of respect. Not any
kjngvr. For if K-rry lones remains the No. 1 target on the other
owners' hit list. Modell may have surpassed Al Davis as No. 2.
Despite what the other owners say. many are appalled
at the way he summarily moved the Browns without even
awaiting the vote that was supposed to provide $175 mil-
lion in improvements to Cleveland Stadium.
That's not monopoly money. particulaHy in a city that
needs schools, housing, health care, law enforcement and
items much more basic than football.
But that vote speaks to the loyalty of the Cleveland
fans. As Dan Dierdorf, who grew up in northern Ohio,
said Monday night, "This one move can undo all the work
Art has done for causes like the Cleveland Clinic."
Others suggest the same, and even owners like Alex
Spanos of the Chargers, who said from the start that
nobody could turn down the cash deal Baltimore gave
Modell. knows how a rngvi; ^il^- (().■■ ali.-nai.-Y fap). _,^^^
"I love San Diego." Sf^ML^dT'l'd never moveTSfH
'here." „;; , . m^^B
So the bottom line is the Browns will play out the sea-
son in Cleveland, where Super Bowl hopes have given
way to despair on and off the fieW. Then they will go to
Baltimore ...And Cleveland will open its treasury for
someone else, like Bill Bidwill, who could then move the
Cardinals to their third city in less than a decade.
Yes, the Dawg Pound would really love Bidwill,

Johnson wins AL Cy Young
ByBmWolwr
Asiociatod Press
NEW YORK - Randy lohnson.
whose intimidating fastball and
improved control led the Seattle
Mariners to the playoffs for the first
time, overwhelmingly won his first
AL Cy Young Award on Tuesday.
lohnson got all but two of the 28
first-place votes in becoming the first
Seattle player to win a major postsea-
son award in the team's 19-year his-
tory.
lohnson came within one victory
of becoming the first AL player
since Hal Newhouser of Detroit in
1945 to win pitching's Triple
Crown, lohnson went 18-2, led the
majors in strikeouts for the fourth
straight year with 294 and led the
league with a 2.48 ERA. The 6-fool-
10 left-hander, who combined his
100 mph fastball with the best con-
trol of his career, was the only pitch-
er listed on all 28 ballots and fin-
ished with 136 points in voting by
the Baseball Writers Association of
America.
Cleveland reliever Jose Mesa
received the other two first-place
votes and was runner-up with 54
points. Boston knuckleballer Tim
Wakefield was third with 29, fol-
lowed by 1994 winner David Cone,
who finished the season with New
York, with 18. Baltimore's Mike
Mussina, who led the league with 19
wins, was fifth with 14. Despite his
reputation for being a power pitch-
er, lohnson said this year that he
wanted to be regarded for more than
merely throwing fastballs. And
unlike the greatest power pitcher
ever - Nolan Ryan, who dominated
for 27 seasons - lohnson won a Cy
Young Award.
lohnson, 32, set a league lecord for
the best winning percentage by a
pitcher with at least 20 decisions.
The only pitcher ever to better
lohnson's .900 percentage is Greg
Maddux, who went 19-2 this year for
Atlanta and unanimously won his
fourth straight NL Cy Young on
Monday.
lohnson set a major league mark
by averaging 12.35 strikeouts per
nine innings, breaking Ryan's record
of 11.48 with Houston in 1987. He
held AL hitters to a league-low .201
average, including .129 by left-han-
ders.
He averaged just 2.73 walks per
nine innings - in 1992, he led the
league in walks with 6.16 per game.
He also pitched the first complete
game of his career without a walk,
beating Cleveland while striking out
13 on luly 7.
Already the Mariners' career win
and strikeout leader, he won the
most important game in franchise
history - up to that point ■ by beating
California 9- 1 with a three-hitter in a
one-game playoff for the AL West
title on Oct. 2.
That win counted in the regular-
season statistics, and made the
Mariners 27-3 in games started by
their ace, the "Big Unit." He also
stopped 1 3 Seattle losing streaks
Though Cy Young voting is based
only on regular-season
performance, lohnson enhanced
his reputation by leading the
Mariners past the wild-card Yankees
in the first of the AL playo^s. With
Seattle facing a 0-2 deficit in the
best-of-5 series, he won Game 3,
then came back on one day of rest to
beat New York in the decisive fifth
game at the Kingdome.
lohnson was 0-1 in two starts in
the AL playoffs against Cleveland. He
got a no-decision when Game 3 went
into extra innings and, again pitching
on only three days' rest, lost the
deciding sixth game.
lohnson. who collected a $200,000
bonus for winning the award, fin-
ished third in the Cy Young voting
last season after going 1 3-6. He was
runner-up to lack McDowell in 1993
when he went 19-8. In 1990. a year
after the Mariners got him with
pitchers Brian Holman and Gene
Harris from Montreal for Mark
Langston, lohnson pitched a no-hitter
against Detroit.
This year, lohnson completed six
of 30 starts and pitched three
shutouts. He was 6-0 after 10 starts,
and his lone losses came against
Minnesota and California.
In luly. he started the All Star
Game in Texas, the fourth time he'd
been picked for the game He was
chosen to start by manager Buck
Showalter of New York, even though
lohnson had touched off a bench-
clearing dispute against the Yankees
earlier in the season by hitting |im
Leyritz with a pitch, lohnson hit six
batters this year.
Mesa led the majors with 46 saves
and had a 1.13 ERA as the Indians'
closer. Wakefield was 16-8 with a
2.95 ERA for the Red Sox and Cone
was 18-8 in a split season for
Toronto and the Yankees. The NL
MVP award will be announced
Wednesday.

Kennedy scored on a power play at
6:55 of the third, ending
Pittsburgh's streak of 16 consecu-

The Penguins were without

This season coach Paul Poolcy has adopted New Jersey s
defense-first mantra and has produced stunning results.
Albwing a league low 2.63 goals per game, the Friars have
turned heads in Hockey East, currently holding its top spot.
Dennis' play in net, although partly a result of strong
defense, has been solid. Dennis leads the league with a
2.40 goals-against -average and a .916 save percentage
A big weekend looms ahead of the Friars, as they will face
off against Massachusetts in a home-and-home series. With
a sweep, UMass can claim the top spot in Hockey East.
If you had talked to anyone associated with the UMass
program at this time last year, when the team was
0-6-1, about the possibility of being in first place, they
likely would have had you committed to a mental institu-
tion.

and fourth in scoring in league games, trailing only Boston
University's fay Pandolfo and Chris Drury.
Coach |oe Mallcn has pnxluced nearly incomprehensi-
ble results with a team that was 6-28-2 last year, and
should continue lo do so. as UMass gains momentum,
heading into its Dec. 1-2 showdown with BU.
• The vast, outpouring support for Travii Roy contin-
ues to astound. Schools around the country have started
holding collections at their games. Even hated-rival Maine
held a moment of silence in honor of the paralyzed Terrier
before last night's game at Orono.
Addresses for the Travis Roy Fund, and Roy's hospital ixwm
arc listed in the weekly Hockey F:as» press release, ahead of the
sectwn proclaiming the kaigue's Player of the Week.
In a night where UMass-Lowcll displayed new levels of
classlessness Saturday against UMass. the saving grace of
the evening was the collection for the Travis Roy Fund,
which raised over 600 dollars, my change included.

1 3, Martin leads them all in total yards rushing.
One rookie who will be effective once he has had the
time to completely familiarize himself with the
Cleveland Browns system is Eric Zeler. He took over
the job from opening day starter Vinny Tetuvcnic and
no matter what happens, head coach Bill Belichick has
said it is Zeier's job for the rest of the season.
• The 38-20 final score of Sunday's game
between Dallas and San Francisco wasn't all that
surprising. After all. the spread on the game soared
to 14 points when Sieve Young was pronounced
unfit to play and Elvis Grbac once again would
stand behind center.
The shock of it all was the fact who was the winning
team, the 49crs. Yes. ihe team whose starting rusher
was Derek Lovillc was able to run against the Big D'
of Dallas. It's no wonder all these teams around the
league are trying lo copy the West Coast offense, it's
just t(X) bad for them they don't all have a wide receiv-
er as talented as |erry Rk«.
• Good news for all Jets fans, last week was the first
time ihe other football team from New York didn't
lose, but there is a good reason for it. They didn't play.

slack. This support came from
numerous sources.
Sophomore Ryan Carrara turned
in many fine runs. Seniors Mark
Buffone. Timothy Bollard, and Pat
Murphy also came up big at times.
Their coniribulions went farther
than thai.
"Our seniors really saved us,"
O'Brien said. "They not only
turned in huge performances
when needed, but their leadership,
and presence held the team
together."
The whole team had an uutstand-
! season, but two runners truly
were the UMass cross country team.
luniors Matt Behl and Mike
Maceiko were the teams work-
horses. No other Massachusetts
runner crossed the finish line
before them. Day in and day out.
they were setting the pace for
this young team.
"They were so good that you
almost look their performances for
granted." O'Brien said.
Obviously the rest of the con-
ference did not. as these two
were named All-Conference per-
formers for the second straight
year. The potential for Behl and
Maceiko next year as seniors it
astounding.
When speaking of where his pro-
gram stands. O'Brien is extremely
optimistic. His goal is for every
class of runners lo compete in an
NCAA Championship meet. Thai
goal was almost reached this year.
The prospects of next year are stag-
gering.
"I wanted the team to reach the
NCAA's this year. Then we would
have the experience lo follow it up
next year." O'Brien said. "There ii
no doubi in my mind that these kids
have the ability.'

Sports
Women's hoop opens with NWIT
By Chris Siomm
Collegian Staff
Last year, the Massachusetts women's basket-
ball team did something which seemed impossi-
ble just a few years ago- produce a winning
team.
With an overall record of 19-1 1, the 1994-1995
season marked the most impressive season of the
program's history. This week, the Minutewomen
are back in action as they begin their regular sea-
son with a road trip to Orono. Maine to play in the
first round of the Preseason Women's National
Invitational Tournament.
Coach loanie O'Brien said being invited to play
in this tournament is an honor. The field of teams
consists of some of the top programs in the nation.
The Preseason NWIT. in its second year, includes
seven teams which competed in last year's NCAA
Tournament, three other NWIT teams (in addition
to UMass) and the 1993 NCAA Tournament ran-
ner-up Ohio State.
"Itll be a good test for this team because we
have so much experience coming back." O'Brien
said. "Getting to find out where we are at this
point, will be easy for us compared to other
teams."
However. O'Brien feels that this tournament will
not be an indication of how the Minutewomen will
play for the whole year.
"It will be a good indicator of where we are right
now in the preseason." O'Brien said. "We'll be able
to see areas we need to improve on and who's
going to step up and play."
Facing a first round team as strong as Maine.
UMass has its work cut out. With Maine returning
four starters from last season and three players on
the starting lineup of the North Atlantic
All-Conference Team, the trip to Orono will not be
a Cakewalk.
"This will be a real challenge." O'Brien said.
"Anytime you go to a place like Maine, where I'm
guessing there isn't a whole heck of a lot else to do.
they get 4.000 people at a game "
Playing in this type of environment is tough for
any visiting team, especially in the season opener.
This is something a true UMass hoops fan should
know first hand, based on how much visiting teams
love to play in the Mullins Center.
For the Bears faithful, there is plenty to cheer
about. Led by returning sophomore guard.
5-foot-9 Cindy Blodgeit. she leads Maine's offen-
sive threat averaging 20. 1 points per game and
should lest UMass's defense early.
Last season. Maine finished 24-6 overall. 14-2
in the NAC and qualified for the NCAA
Tournament, before losing in a first round
match- up to the NCAA Champion Connecticut.
The Minutewomen are led by a strong base
provided by senior Ail-American Candidates
Ociavia Thomas and Melissa Curile. The two
UMass leaders have been at the head of the class
throughout the four-year rebuilding process. In
fact. O'Brien gives them considerable credit to
the program's recent success. Their ability to take
control of the game has consistently allowed
other, less experienced players to step up and
gam experience.
With the new season underway, the
Minutewomen would like nothing more than to
honor Gurile and Thoma> with another winning
season

Year of accomplishment
for men's cross-country
By Jason Rubin
Collegian Staff
Finishing 25rd at the IC4A
Championships this passed week-
end was not the way the
Massachusetts men's cross coun-
try team wanted to remember
1995. It was a meet with results
that coach Ken O'Brien deemed,
"disappointing, and far from what
we expected."
However, a minor setback after
a groundbreaking year is not
going to ruin everything positive
that the team accomplished.
"The IC4A Championships was
a poor race for us." O'Brien said.
"It was definitely discouraging.
However this sentiment only lasts
about a week or so. One sub par
race does not take away from an
outstanding season."
This was a year where UMass
proved that it can run with nation-
ally ranked teams. It was also a
season in which the team captured
its first ever Atlantic 10
Championship. These were huge
achievements by a young team
looking for an identity.
O'Brien arranged a schedule
that ran UMass against some of
the nation's best teams. It was this
aggressive "anything is possible"
strategy, that prepared the team
for the late season success that
they enjoyed. The runners knew
what it was like to race against the
best, and this forced them to raise
their efforts to the level of the
teams that they were competing
with. When it came time for the
crucial second half push, the
Minutemen were more than pre-
pared.
It was during the latter part of
the season when the team came
together, and reached it's peak.
At the New England
Championships the team finished
fourth overall, and beat the likes
of Brown and Boston College.
Both are top 20 teams.
"i believed that we belonged
somewhere between 8th and 1 5th
place. Beating two teams like
Brown, and B.C.. exceeded any
expectations that I could of had."
O'Brien said.
The team then traveled to com-
pete in the A- 10 Championships.
In this tough, competitive confer-
ence. UMass lumed out to be the
team to beat. The Minutemen ran
hard and easily took the title. This
was the first A-IO title in the
school's history. It was at this
meet, that the team ran as a
whole for the first time. That
Saturday was the best the team
looked.
"By this point in the season I
was trying to ingrain in the guys'
minds, that we had a good team,
and had achieved some reason-
able measures of success. It was
now time to change our perspec-
tive, and take our skills to the
next level." O'Brien recalled.
"That is exactly what we did.
That race that we ran at the
A-!0's would have beaten most
of the top 20 teams in the
nation."
The formula for success at the
A-IO's was a simple one. Five
runners needed to turn in solid
races. This was accomplished with
the help of gutsy performances by
some forgotten heroes.
These performances came in
the form of Paul Blodom. and |on
Way. Both of these runners were
top five performers last season.
However, at the end of the season
each suffered an injury that
would plague them throughout
the summer. Blodom came down
with a case of pneumonia, and
Way suffered a stress fracture in
his leg. The injuries were great
obstacles that prevented the run-
ners from being in top shape. In
essence, two of the teams' top
performers were sidetracked, and
could not make the early season
contributions that were expected
of them.
UMass is a team of great depth,
and it was this attribute that saved
them from disaster. To offset the
loss of Blodom. and Way, other
runners stepped up to pick up the

Rookies making impact
down stretch in NFL
Lightning strikes down Boston
The NFL season is entering its
12th week and the influence of
first year players has been readily
apparent around the league.
In a season of turmoil on the
offensive side of the ball for the
Philadelphia Eagles, two rookies
on the defense have made a
tremendous impact.
When ex-Boston College Eagle
Mike Mamula
finished his
junior year, he
thought he wa^
ready to come
out of the colle-
giate ranks the
scouts weren't
sure. He was first
predicted as a third rounder, after
the pre-draft workouts he jumped
to some place in the first round
and on draft day the Eagles of the
NFL traded for the seventh spot
to make sure they selected him. It
turned out to be a stroke of genius
on both ends.
Mamula has made a name for
himself very early in his Pro
career. During the opening weeks
of the season, his name was
called mostly for offsides penal-
ties. As of late, the referee have
been keeping their flags in their
pockets and opposing quarter-
backs are often sitting on their
pockets as Mamula has been in
on three sacks the passed three
weeks.
It is not only the statistics
that speak volumes of his per-
formance, but the little things
he does to help the Philly
defense.
His speed on the outside helps
to string out running backs when
they run at him. When they run
the other side. Mamula has the
ability to catch the back from
behind.
Putting pressure on the quarter-
back doesn't always translate into
a sack for Mamula, but it reeks
havoc in the backfield. More and
more you see holding penalties
called on the offensive tackles try-
ing to keep him at away from the
quarterback.
Even when the OB gets the ball
away. Mamula lets him know that
his presence is there. It was
Mamula nailing Denver's |ohn
Elway Sunday night that left
Elway sidelined with a concus-
sion.
Fellow Eagle rookie Bobby
Taylor has also been a pleasant
surprise in the "City of Brotherly
Love. He was asked to step in
with the loss of Eric Allen.
Though the Notre Dame star isn't
the seasoned veteran that Allen
was. his natural instinct at comer-
back has helped him make an
impact as a starter.
It will take a

to be the num-
ber 21 that he

place of Allen,
who was also

ber for the

point the fans at the Vet will bare-
ly notice the difference.
• In Seattle, fomier Ohio State
Buckeye |oey Galloway has made
big waves as a wide receiver. His
lightning-fast speed down the
sideline and slick moves have pro-
duced lOO-yard receiving days
five times already this year. That
without a full time quarterback.
Galloway's 84-yard reverse
for a touchdown Sunday against
the jaguars showed his field
smarts by cutting back to the far
side of the field where his block-
ers were. Instead of a five-yard
loss, Galloway created six
points.
• Bill Parcetis took a chance on
ex-Pitt running back Curtis
Martin to be his next Otcis
Anderson. He just may have
found what he was kxiking for.
Martin has run for over 100
yards four times this season. Not
coincidentally. the Patriots have
won all four of those games. It
had been almost two years since
an opposing back had gained 100
or more yards against the Miami
defense. This past Sunday. Martin
went for 142.
The rookie has kept the football
from hitting the ground, and in

has tried to run out the clock.

The fall of 1995 has witnessed some unusual names In
unusual places on standings charts all around sfK)rts. Even
the sketchiest of prognosllcator- did not have Northwestern
in the Top 10 national rankings. Hardly a soul picked the
Florida Panthers lo ha\c the best record in the NHL on
November 1 5. and even fewer had the Sacramento Kings in
first place of the NBA's Pacific Division.
After one full month of college hockey
action, standings across the nation are
similarly juggled.
Preseason top 10 picks Michigan.
Michigan Slate and Lake Superior Stale
all find themselves K)oklng up In the
CCHA standings, where surprising
Western Michigan Is In the driver's seat.
Coming off of a 1994 95 canipaijin that
saw the Broncos finish seventh In the conference with a
9-14.-4 CCHA record. WMU was tabbed for sixth by the
CCHA coaches In their preseason poll.
At 8 2 (5 I In the CCHA) the start Is the Broncos' best
In 19 years, and was hardly compiled by pounding patsies.
Friday night WMU scored three goals in the final 16 min-
utes to overtake No. 3 Lake Superior 6- 5 In the Sik). The
Broncos bucked No. 2 Michigan 7 2 at the Wolverines'
Yost Ice Arena before a stunned 7.1 52 earlier this year.
The team is durable as well. After shocking the Lakers,
the team bussed to Ferris State, aniving at 3 am Nothing
could stop the Broncos though as the learn built a 3-0
lead and cruised to victory. Western Michigan has used
exceptional sptvial teams play to overtake these toes. The
p<.)wer play unit Is clicking at an astounding 29.7 percent in
CCHA games (II for 37). while the Broncos have killed
90.7 percent of their penalties.
Four of the top five scorers in the conference wear the
Broncos' brown and gold, fcremy Brown, who leads the
CCHA with 20 points, was named the conference's offen-
sive Player of the Week. |ustin Cardwell (10-7-17) has
already surpassed his 1994-95 output, while sophomore
defenseman Steve Duke leads the nation with 1 3 assists.
For one reason or another though, the pollsters have yet
to take notice of the first-place Broncos. The team is ninth
in the Troy Record poll, behind the Lakers
and Wolverines, both of whom WMU has
beaten. Saturday's opponent, Bowling Green
is also ahead of the Broncos, at No. 7.
Despite his team's hot start, coach Bill
Wilkinson, realizes that there's still a long
way to go before the Broncos make their
reservations for the CCHA's Final Five at
|oe Louis Arena.
"I think (Lake State and Ferris State] are two really big
wins for us. beating two teams with a four-hour bus ride
In between." Wilkinson said. "We're off to a great start,
but still have to take one game at a time."
Things have gone well for the Broncos, who have only
lost this season by one goal to Michigan and in overtime
against Providence College, but they are hardly alone.
The Friars, seventh in HiKkey East last year, hold the
league's top position after this week's impressive split with
Maine.
An experienced Providence defense and solid goaltend-
ing frt)m Dan Dennis, held the mighty Black Bears to just
three goals In 1 20 tumultuous minutes at Schneider Arena.

UMass hockey
gets Nathan Sells
letter of intent
By Matt Vautour
ColUgion Staff
Massachusetts hockey coach |oe
Mallen has made no secret of the fact
that he likes size in his lineup. A
quick glance down the roster finds
two players over 6-foot- 5 and sever-
al players weighing in at over 200
pounds.
So when Mallen is watching a high
school or a junior hockey game, it is
a pretty good bet that he's looking at
the biggest guy on the ice.
Nathan Sell, the second recruit
that Massachusetts has signed for
next season fits right into
Mallen's size appreciation. At
6-foot-4 and 200 pounds, the
center from Pembroke, Ontario
has the dimensions to be a power-
ful forward.
Mallen said that Sell will be an
asset for Massachusetts on and off
the field.
"He's an unbelievably nice kid,"
Mallen said. "He's a good student.
He has speed. He has good hands
and he has the size."
* • •
Sell is joined by Jeff Blanchard as
the other freshmen that will step in
next year. Blanchard, a speedy
defensemen Is particularly intriguing
to local hockey fans. While several
Minutemen have some NHL lineage,
Blanchard's takes the cake. The
Ontario native is the nephew of for-
mer Bruin, Bobby Orr.
Mallen said that he doesn't expect
any more recruits to be signed
before the end of the early signing
period.

Date rape survivor tells her story
By Aim«e Schwartz
Collegion Staff
TMANC VO/C Ot I ICIAN
Katie Koestner spoke last night at the Student Union Ballroom about her
experience dealing with date rape. The speech was part of the
Distinguished Visitor's Program.
Survivor Katie Koestner was
soft spoken yet confident when she
talked about date rape In her speech
"No-Yes" at the Student Union
Ballroom last night.
"As long as there is rape. I am not
free." Koestner said.
Koestner gave the audience advice
on how lo prevent rape as she told
her story .
"Perhaps you would have said get
out' or maybe you would have gone
down the hall lo get help." she said.
KcK'slner was a freshman when she
was raped at the College of William
and Marv in Pennsylvania. She invit-
ed a friend Peter to her room to
dance after dinner one night. She said
she wanted only to dance, but he had
other ideas.
"Inviting somebody to your room
in college means different things lo
different people. He did not seem
m'lch different than the guys I dated
in high school I But) in high school
my dad was there, (saying things
like), if you want to live tonight,
you'll have her home by midnight."
said Koestner.
The difference between high school
and college is that in college your
father isn't there as u deterrent, so
you have to stand up for yourself.
Koestner said.
Communication, responsibility and
respect are the keys to preventing
rape, according to Kix'stner.
"Talk lo each other; be clear abt>ul
what you want." she said.
When talking about responsibility
Koestner told stories of women who
were raped while they were drunk.
The two stories she told were of col-
lege men who planned and succeeded
in getting women drunk so they could
rape them.
When Koestner talked about
respect she addressed men and
women separately. Respect is a some-
thing men must have for women and
women must have for themselves, she
said.
To the men, Koestner said, "I have
a great deal of confidence that most
guys have laughed at a funny rape
joke. It takes a strong man not to
laugh and an even stronger one to say
I did not find it funny.'"
Koestner told women lo develop a
high self esteem and not lo stand for
the abuse and harassment aimed at
them.
"You must be strong. You have to
stand up for yourselves. If nothing
else, you have to be strong." she said.
The transition from victim to
speaker was a gradual one for
KiK-stner and said she reached a pv)int
in her recovery when she began to
think of herself as not being at fault
Koestner said she got angry because
of the way she was treated when she
reported the rape.
"I got so angry," Koestner said.
when Koestner told the Dean of
Students of her rape, he was not sup-
portive.
"tie said to me. You couki be ruin-
ing someone else's life with those
charges. He will not be allowed in
your dorm for this semester. You
make a nice couple; I hope you can
work thriHJgh this tiff." Koestner said.

SCERA rallies again to fight proposed financial aid cuts
By Allison Connolly
Collegion Staff
The Student Center for Educational Research
and Advocacy (SCHRA) is planning another rally
for student financial aid. since the success of the
last one on the steps of Co\emmenl Center, This
rally will take place at Representatise Peter Blute's
office In Worcester on Monday.
Members nf SCF.RA and other concerned students
will picket outside ot Blute's office before a sthedukxl
meeting with the Congressman. The students hope to
lnlluerh.e the repa-scntative lo save student aid.
SCHRA's lason Vecchio said his group has tar-
geted the Congressman for his approval of student
financial aid cuts. Blute had publicly announced he
was opposed lo the cuts just weeks prior to his
signing of the bill. Vecchio said Blute gave in to
pressure from his colleagues.
"Like most Republicans. Blute Is under the
impression that the balancing the budget Is most
Important and that will help everyone." Vecchio
said. "Our point of view is that cuts are important
and the downsizing of some programs is needed,
but there's a big difference between welfare reform
and cutting financial aid."
Vecchio pointed out that Bluie is coming up for
election next year and was pressured lo vote con-
servatively by the republican leadership.
Representative Peter Torkelson is another
Republican who reneged on his promise to save
financial aid. SCERA does not have the resources
lo visit Torkelson's office on the other side of the
state, but hopes he will hear the same message
from the rally outside of Blute's office.
Vecchio argued in many foreign countries, stu-
dents attend college for free. "Students here tiavc
to fight for access." Vecchio said.
Vecchio also cited problems for non-traditional
students with families, who have a tough time
affording a college education without the cuts.
"It is extremely important for students to get out
and fight these cuts." Vecchio said. "We have to
mobilize and be a powerful voice."
SCliRA hopes to get the same turnout for this
rally as the one held on Halloween a few weeks ago
outside Republican Committee Headquarters in
Boston. It is estimated that 700 1000 students
from 25 public and private colleges across the state
attended the rally.

Worcester on Monday, Nov. 20. please call the

field of their
true heart's desire.
There is one program which
attempts to give students a
prospective Unik into their possi-
ble futures based on their separate
majors.
Sponsored by the Careers in
New York Shadowing Project,
and co-sponsored by the
University of Massachusetts
University Career Services. Office
of Alumni Relations and the
Metro Area Alumni Club, the
Shadow Project is intended to
give students information about
career opportunities in the New
York area. It also provides an
introductory experience of how
hectic and exciting the New York
metropolitan working environ-
ment can be.
Each UMasi student who par-
ticipated traveled to New York
and paired with members of the
Metro Alumni Club. The Club
introduced them lo a network of
UMass alumni working through-
out the New York area.
The students spent their day
shadowing the their alumni men-
tors at work.
Of the many majors open for
"shadowing," apparel marketing,
communications, marketing and
Hotel, Restaurant and Travel
Administration were the most
abundant.
This event was coordinated by
Ginger Goldsbury. assistant direc-
tor of the University Campus
Career Center.
"The best part of I the
shadowingi was know-
ing what I learned in
the past three semesters
will actually help me in
the real world. "
Twenty students from UMass
took part in this project. Upon
return, a meeting was scheduled
for Nov. 15 for the students to
get together and submit a

New course to teach German culture
By Julio Sloyanovich
Collegion Correspondent
The Germanic languages and lit-
erature department Is offering a
German business course next
semester for students with special-
ized studies.
"Business German 314:
Language and Culture" will be
taught by graduate student Marion
Brennelsen. an English and busi-
ness administration major who is
also a native German speaker.
Returning from an absence of
several years, the revitalized busi-
ness Gennan has reappeared in the
spring 19*^5 course catalog.
Brennelsen said she Is structuring
the course around putting emphasis
on reading articles and speaking
and writing formal German, rather
than on grammar. Classrix)m dis-
cussions will be held mostly In
German.
According lo Brennelsen. busi-
ness Gennan has been designed to
provide students with a larger vari-
ety of courses In the department.
The only course of Its kind at the
University of Massachusetts. It will
give students a chance to broaden
their knowledge of the practical
German.
Brennelsen said she Is very
enthusiastic about teaching the
course, which requires German
240 or equivalent as a prerequisite.
The expected size of the class Is
between 10 and 15. enabling the
instructor to work with each stu-
dent Individually which is a signifi-
cant factor in studying a language.
Brennelsen said she plans to be
flexible in choosing the course
material. The topics she would like
to cover Include practical experi-
ence in writing business letters and
using role-playing lo model job
Interviews.
"We will stress the differences
and similarities between the
European and the American busi-
ness worlds," she said.

interesting to analyze German

Environment, property examined
Forum held yesterday to discuss Endangered Species Act
By Dav« LoForttano

DATMION SMrrH/C01Lf&l*N
Marlon Brennelsen, an exchange student from Germany, will assist In the teaching of a new German cul-
ture class next semester.
A panel of experts held a forum yesterday afternoon to
discuss rights of property owners and the environment.
The forum, entitled "Forum on Properly Rights and
Regulatory Takings, "held In the Campus Center, was
moderated by Professor Rutherford H. Piatt, a professor
of Geography and planning law at the University of
Massachusetts.
The panelists were from varied organlz.ations and the
idea of the forum was to discuss the problems of finding
common ground between the Property Rights Movement
and the Environmental Movement.
"This Is a ct)nflicl that has been going on at least since
the 1920s and we are now facing a new stage in this
debate, over the last two or three years In particular, with
the rise of a very militant, very vtKal. and in some ways,
very Informed property rights movement," Piatt said.
"All sorts of public regulatory programs, such as envi-
ronmental land use. workplace safety, and water manage-
ment, are being cast as regulatory takings, which would
require compensation to the land owners. Some of these
claims arc valid, many are not." said Piatt. "We've never
seen such an onslaught of judicial and legislative efforts to
expand the meaning of the Fifth Amendment."
Panelist David Sutherland, of the Nature Conservency's
Connecticut Chapter, also got into the discussion of the
amendment.
"Regulatory takings refers to the Fifth Amendment of
the Constitution, which says the government shall not
take private property for public use without just compen-
sation." Sutherland said. "What Is called the private prop-
erties movement has tried to interpret |the l-'Ifth
Amendment] lo mean the government to regulate what
people do on their lands, such as wetlands regulations and
endangered species regulations."
The movement, which also refers to Itself as the Wise
Use Movement, is also trying to weaken and change laws
protecting the environment, according to Sutherland.
Jessica Spelke. a research assistant to Professor Piatt,
reported on some of the specific organizations which
make up the property rights movement.
Groups, such as the Washington based Defenders of
Property Rights, are legally challenging the government's
regulation of private property by contesting the existing
definition of "the taking clause." according lo Spelke
"The taking clause simply stales that if the government
lakes an individual's land, lo build a highway or school,
for example, the Individual must be compensated mone-
tarily." said Spelke. "It's referred to as eminent domain.'
Property rights groups aren't as concemed with the actual
taking of lands. They arc much more interested In the gov-
ernment limiting what someone can do with their own
land."
TTie organizations, some with deceptive names such as
The National Wetlands Coalition (which actually wants lo
deregulate wetlands for building purposes), use research,
litigation, and lobbying to make their views heard.
The question of endangered species was discussed, as
well. Curtice R. Griffin of the UMass wildlife and fish-
eries conservation, discussed the Properly Rights move-
ment and its effect on endangered wildlife.
"The Endangered Species Act. one of the most compre-
hensive regulations we have In the world. It Is also one of
this country's most debated issues, as we saw with the
spotted owls on federal forested lands in the Pacific NW."
Griffin said.
The endangered species act is up for re-authorizalion in
the House and Senate. They want to redefine "harm" of
endangered species to not Include habitat modification,
therefore making these areas more open fur development
The panel included Art Pichetle. a land developer from
Northampton, lo discuss responsible ways to keep both
sides of the argument happy Mr PIchette gave examples
of responsible development, such as re -using obsolete
public buildings for private use. and giving tax breaks to
those who did re -use.
Some members of the panel saw these properly rights
movement as "shills" for big business, who feed false
information to the public.
"The anti-envlronmcnial movement is part of a
counter revolution' over environmental regulation. They
make it seem thai the public Is fed up with extreme envi-
ronmental regulation." panelist Sidney Wolf said
"The anti-environmentalist want to be seen as the true
grass r<K)ts' movement, with the majority of the American
public behind them. This is one of the myths they use to
suppt^rl their argument."
According to Wolf, the Property Rights movement
makes itself out to be the vt>ice of the people, when in
actuality, it's ihe voice of big business.

Students famished after banquet Prof, speaks about the 'shout' of gospel
By Ros«ann Cohen
Collegian Correspondent
Students who participated in
MASSPIRGs Hunger Banquet last
night at Earthfoods found it to be dif-
ferent from any other dinner banquet
they had attended in the past. For
one thing, some students didn't
receive dinner.
One student was taken by surprise
when she realized the potent message
behind the hunger banquet.
"This is really a learning experi-
ence for me." said Bonni Fierstein. a
UMass student.
Students received a numbered arm
band when they walked through the
doors which they were to wear while
ihe> waited for the evening's events to
begin. If they received an ami band
with the number one. they were
served vegetable lasagna. with bread
and salad, wailed on by servants and
seated at candlelit tables. The people
numbered with a one represented the
very top of the economic ladder,
accounting for 1 5 percent of the world
population that lives in affluence.
Students who found a number two
on their sleeve sat at tables, and
served themselves rice and beans
from the kitchen. Their lifestyle rep-
resented how 25 percent of the world
population lives, mostly on a diet of
rice and beans.
The remaining 60 percent seated
themselves on the cold linoleum
Hoor, squeezed into a small circle
that was sectioned off for them. If
ihey were fortunate, a scoopful of
rice was given to them for dinner, or
a donation of salad or beans was
given to them by a charitable student
seated at one of the other tables.
leff Lourie. one of the organizers
of the everu, expressed the need for
students in the Five College area to
become more aware of the growing
problems of hunger and homeless-
ness in the community.
"Hunger and homelessness are part
of a vicious cycle that people don't
recognize. They think it just doesn't
happen here." he said, noting stu-
dents' ignorance to the social
inequities that exist within their own
community. "It's been heard that
there are month long waiting lists to
get into shelters in Amherst. The
population in the Pioneer Valley is
rising and there isn't enough afford-
able housing to meet their
I low-income people) needs."
University professors spoke about
hunger on a worldwide, as well as a
local level. Professor Peter Pellett.
head of the nutrition department,
shared with the audience his perspec-
tives on worldwide hunger and star-
vation. "Malnutrition is a political
issue more than a scientific issue."
Pellett said, citing United Nations
sanctions against Iraq which have
brought upon severe consequences
for the people of Iraq.
He informed students about the
widespread infection and starvation
related diseases suffered in Iraq
because of political decisions that
were made. Pellelt's slides paintcxl a
more vivid picture of the capacity of
political power to produce disaster.
Students stared in disbelief at the
skeletal images of children who had
developed hunger related diseases
such as Kwashiorkor and Marasmus.
Pellett claimed there is an estimat-
ed 192 million children worldwide
suffering from Protein Energy
Malnutrition, a condition resulting
from chronic undernourishment.
David Sharkeh. director of the
Western Mass. Food Bank, defined
the issue of hunger in American cul-
ture.
"Hunger is a child who is falling
asleep in school, because he or she
does not have enough food to eat.
and they haven't eaten breakfast."
Sharken said. "It could be an elder,
who is starving herself because she
simply doesn't have enough money to
pay for a decent meal. It affects
working families, who are doing all
the right things, but for whom mak-
ing $8 an hour can not feed their
family of four."
According to Sharken, these are
the type of people arriving at soup
kitchens and shelters in increasing
proportions.
Professor George Cernada. who
teaches classes in the public health
dcpariment. stressed the importance
of our role, as students, in world
hunger and homelessness. Cernada
said. "The U.S. consumes one-third
of the worlds' resources yet makes uf
only four to five percent of the popu-
lation. We. here, can consume less."
He emphasized the need for our
culture to separate "quality of life"
from the "consumption factor" and
pleaded for a return to the basic val-
ues in life.
He encouraged the audience to
take advantage of their youth, as stu-
dents, and the opportunities to make
a difference that are available to
them today. "Nothing gets done
unless you do it. Don't wail around
for somebody else to do it. just do it.

People who have been to a sanctified Pentecostal
Christian Church know what "the shout" is all about.
It is the kind of shout that moves the spirit, stirs the
soul and makes you want to praise. It is the kind of shout
University of Massachusetts music professor Horace
Boyer said "shakes your body and sets you free."
It is the shout found in gospel and there are few as
schooled in gospel as Boyer.
"We've found (the shout] before through the old Negro
spirituals." he said. "It sustained us through slaver>'. We
sung through our problems. It provided hope and strength
for people to get up and go back to the same old thing.
Nothing but the shout sustained us through that time and
during the Civil Rights Movement."
Boyer recently published a book that not only gives a
definitive history cf gospel music, but includes the knowl-
edge and experience of a man who has been performing
and studying gospel music more than half his life.
As a teenager. Boyer made up one half of "The Famous
Boyer Brothers." sharing venues with Mahalia lackson. the
Dixie Hummingbirds and the Clara Ward Singers, among
others. Last year. Boyer helped create the award-winning
National Radio series on gospel. "Wade in the Water".
"How Sweet the Sound: The Golden Age of Gospel
Music," Boyer's new book, shows how gospel music has
influenced many of today's popular singers and how it has
changed over the years to cross over color lines and into
the mainstream of contemporary popular music.
"Until Nb*). gospel music was an adult music taught tu
young people." Boyer said. "In 1969, Edward Hawkin-
released a record called Oh lljppy Day which shifted it lu
a young people's music taught to adults.'
This switch to a younger generation of gospel singers
also brought about ihc switch of traditional gospel music
to a more contemporary sound, combining the styles of
rock, rhythm and blues and jazz. Boyer explained.
"The line between traditional gospel music and black
popular music has almost been blotted out." he said
"Groups like Take b and the Winans all incorporated new
sounds into gospel music so that now. more than ever,
gospel's become more of a fusion music. |Like) a fusion ol
Mahalia lackson plus Gladys Knight and The Pips all
rolled into one."
The transition from traditional gospel music to the new-
sound of gospel today was hard for those who were not
ready for it. bioyer said. The move away from the tradition
al church and into the entertainment industry had many
worrying about the direction gospel music was going.
"Many people get some kind of spiritual fulfillment
from contemporar\ gospel as others got from traditional
gospel." Boyer suid, "There was a tremendous church base

Another valuable topic Brenneisen will present to the
class is the Trade Unions in the newly formed European
Community, of which Germany is a significant part.
Barton Byg. .Associate Professor in the Germanic lan-
guages and literature department, said that the course is a
good opportunity for the students interested in interna-
tional business to learn from a native German speaker
who has experience in the area,
"It is a must for the Europeans to be fluent in more
then one language and it is also becoming a must for most
Americans." Brenneisen said, "If one wants to go into
business, it is very important to know the specialized ter-
minology. It is very helpful to know the business terminol-
ogy and European business ethics for anyone who wishes
to work in the area of international business."

Not satisfied, she went to the District Attorney, who
said. "I don't take cases like yours,'" according to
Koestner,
Next. Koestner went to the media.
"I'm not ashamed: I didn't do anything wrong."
Koestner said
Koestner allowed HBO to produce a docudrama titled
"No Visible Bruises: The Katie Koestner Story" to raise
awareness around the issue of rape.
Due to the attention the film has gathered, the adminis-
tration at the College of William and Mary has re- exam-

endy. I just got the
filthiest message on
-mail." my friend told
me la-.t week. "I don't know if you've
read it yet. but I forwarded it to you."
"What kind of message?" I asked.
"It's just this totally, totally sick
thing — so sick! — about why — oh.
it was so sick — why women
shouldn't be allowed to
talk"
By now most UMass
students with e mail
will have seen this mes-
sage, titled "Top 7t
Reasons Why Women
(Bitches) Should Not
Have Freedom of
Speech." Many of them
cannot stop thinking
about it.
Originally created by
four Cornell University undergradu-
ate (identiHed in the message as the
"four players of Cornell"), this little
misogynist rant has created a furor
across the country as Internet-users
across the countries shuttle from one
comer of the country to the other
Last Friday the Huston Glubv ran
the story on the front page of the
Metro Region section and titled it
"misogyny^comelledu."
"The list is pretty nasty stuff."
wrote Glohi' staffer Michael
Grunwald. going on to list several of
the items included on the list: "'58. If
she can't speak, she can't cry rape";
"39. Of course, if she can't speak, she
can't say no"; "49. Whores gel paved
Isicl by the hour, not by the word "
The message was never intendc-d to
oflend anyone, say the men who orig-
inally wrote it. but offend people it
has done to the point wheic this
"joke" has become a rallying point
for feminists across the country.
A woman at Dana Hall School in
Welleslev Naid "ihi^ kind of humor i^
not acceptable in I995." Students at
BryT. Mawr in Pennsylvania turned a
Take Back the Night rally into a rally
to "take back the Net." Last week at
Boston College, staffers at the
women's center were discussing
whether or not it would be possible
to "crash the entire Cornell e-mail
-ystem."
"Those people are
incredibly stupid." one
BC student told the
Globe "We want them
to pay for what thev
did." ■
And pay for it they
did. especially since
they included their
names at the end of the
message. Since seryding
out the list more than
three weeks ago. their
e-mail accounts have been flooded
with angry messages and "flames"
from campu^ feminists offering "75
Reasons ^'ou Should Shut ^'our
Mouths."
These guys have probably also
received phone calls, postcards and
in-your-face verbal harassment.
According to the Globe, there have
been several death threats.
At the university, the men have
been presented with at lea^t one
charge of sexual harassment and will
probably face disciplinary actions
later on.
And all for what? For making a
list? For creating a snag in the plans
of those who adhere to the philoso-
phy of PC ubir-alles?
Til some people, this list is like a
^niack in the face; to others, like
myself, it's just a list. Know what I
did around a second after reading
this lisi^ I era.sed it. I looked it over,
dixided I didn't like it and got rid of
it. Fnd of vtory — no controversy for

Letters to the Editor
Senator shares view
on woman's caucus
To the Editor:
On Nov. 8. the Undergraduate
Student Senate voted against a
motion to "support the establishment
of a Woman's Caucus." The fact that
there were women who arc most pas-
sionate about women's issues, includ-
ing myself, who voted against the
motion is evidence there were things
that were severely inadequate with
the motion and its proponents. As a
student of color, a woman and a sen-
ator. I am repulsed by the
maleempowermeni and self-pro-
claimed heroic acts some of mv fel-
low senators are asserting in the
name of women's empttwerment.
The motion itself was abstract and
useless since no process has been
developed by the Senate to establish
any new caucuses aside from the
ALANA Caucus, let alone support
the establishment of one. More
importantly, the motion was extreme-
ly ill-conceived by Senators David
Gafney and Bill Ramsey, co-spon
sors. who seemed to be insincere in
their motives for starting u Women's
Caucus for the following reasons.
Al the previous Senate meeting of
Nov I. Senators Larry Piano and Bill
Ramsey attempted to haphazardly
introduce the idea of cieating space
for any new caucuses within Senate
with a sloppy last minute motion. My
initial reaction was that ihey were
trying to disempower the ALANA
Caucus by creating ulher caucuses
which would counteract ALANA's
voting power. After the events of the
Nov. 8 meeting. I can say I have been
witnessing an informal White .Men's
Caucus attempting to pave the way
for formal caucuses that would kill
ALANA's voices in Senate.
To me. this motion for a Woman's
Caucus was especially offensive
because it came in the aftermath of
an attempt to establish any new cau-
cuses and not something that is spe-
cific and sensitive to women and
women's issues. Further, not a single
woman who is currently in Senate
was involved in the process of devel-
oping and proptising this motion. In
iirder for the motion to truly serve
the needs of women as an underrep-
resented group in Senate, one needs
to start with those women within
Senate who are struggling to have
their voices heard.
In addition, the Women's Caucus
needs to be conceived, discussed and
established by a diverse,
well-informed group of women since
no single woman can represent the
needs of all women. It is extremely
unacceptable that Senators Gafnev
and Ramsey presumed the best indi-
viduals to speak on the issue are
themselves. Senator Gafney claimed
he had contacted one woman from
the Lverywoman's Center, a member
of his constituency, who had
expressed an interest in forming a
Woman's Caucus for Senate.
Not only was she not present at the
Senate meeting to speak on the
motion, but Gafney claimed she and
her "little group" were already work-
ing on a charter for the caucus. This
illustrates to me that there was a con-
scious decision to ignore the input of
the women of the Senate because
there was an ulterior motive behind
the initiative, of which the women
outside of Senate may not be wary.
Women and our issues are being used
as a device by men toward our own
subjugation.
The most disgusting aspect of this
mess is that the women who voted
against Gafney and Ramsey's motion
were told after the Senate meeting we
"don't want women's voices to be
heard." and we are "just pissed that
we didn't do anything about it first."
Verbal attacks such as these illustrate
the incredible hypocrisy of senators
such as David Gafney because they
are humiliating and intimidating the
very women they are claiming to
want to empower.
There have been and continue to
be women in Senate working on
strengthening an informal Women's
Caucus. Some men are angry that we
women and men did not vote in their
favor and that we are not grateful for
their overwhelming generosity in
assisting the poor, helpless underrep-
resented of UMass. I speak for many
women when I say I am not prepared
to kiss the knife that is poi.sed to kill
me and everything I believe in.

Opinion/Editorial
Maybe it would have been differ
ent if this was an advertisement oi
something printed on a t-shirl on
sale at Faces in Northampton, but in
this case, it was just a list. And the
way I see it. with a little list like this
no matter how widely circulatc>d it i-..
it's still not going to do much dam
age.
It's not going to be posted on a
billboard on the highway where
everybixiy can see it. It's not going to
be taught in school. It's not some
thing all men are going to have to
sign in order to graduate from high
school. It's just a list.
So people can write letters back to
the "players." People can use it as an
example of misogyny Hey. the peo-
ple who agree with it — and I am not
one — can even print it out and hang
it up on the wall for reference if they
want to. It's called denunracy
But charging these men with
harassment? Threatening to kick
them out of schiK>l? Plotting to sabo-
tage their schot)l's computer system?
Threatening to kill thetn? That's
called vengeance.
Personally. I believe in the right to
freedom of expression more than I
believe in vengeance and harassment
policies like the one at Cornell and
the one proposed here at UMass
trouble me deeply.
Isn't it better to let people say their
say out loud than force that say
underground or convert it stmight
into action'' I'd much rather have
someone say their piece and get feed-
back on it than say it and get thrown
out of school.
I'd much rather have compromise
than vengeance. I'd much rather have
a list than a rixjm full of people lied
down so they can't reach their key-
boards.

Better luck next time
That's enough, man. I'm ^ick and tired of doing
average work. I'm tired of getting by. of receiving
a grade which I feel is sufficient by someone else's
standings. LcKik at that GPA — it could be- so much bet
ter. it's just a matter t>f putting time and work into it. I
just need to put a bit more effort into the whole schiKil
thing
Screw it. I'm going to do well on that test
coming up in two weeks. I mean. I need to.
Let's vee. tomorrow night, when I get a free
chance. I'm going to study for that test. If I
consciously study for each day up until the
test. I'm golden. That should be easy.
What's a little bit of studying each night fv)r
the test? Nothing. I can do it.
Dammit. I iiiV/do it.
Gee/. Bryce. It's Wednesday night, you
have to work for I I hours and you have
that test tomorrow which you haven't stud-
ied for yet. Again. Bryce, scolding yourself for procrasti-
nating another time No. that's B.S , I have had so much
work to do in the last two weeks and my friends from
htime came up during the weekend. I've been working my
butt off
I just haven't had enough time, plain and simple
I'm dead, man I can't ^ludy all of these notes and read
the IxKik before «):'50 tomorrow morning. That's 15 pages
of notes and vix chapters in 10 hours. I'm screwed This
sucks so bad I'll be lucky if I pass, much rather get a
decent grade. This is going to hurt my semester grade big
time. How much is this test worth? Oh. who am I kid
ding, it's worth a ton.
I'm going \o shank it.
That professor really pisses me off. What the heck, he
doesn't even give us an cxtensicin for our test time. He
crams everything into those four classes and expects us to
know everything he asks. And you know he's going to try
and trick us like he always does. If he wanted us to learn
it so that we'd know it. he'd tell us what questions would
be on the test so we'd learn what we were supposed to
learn.
Don't ii-en gel me started on him.
I'm just exhausted. If I study up until the last six pages
of note- and three chapters, and then I wake up tomorrow
morning to finish the rest ... what is it. 4 a.m.? Alright.
I'll study till 4 30, go to sleep for a little while and set the

Andrew Bryce is a Collegian columnist.
Letters to the Editor
appeared in the Nov. 14 issue of the
Collegian. In his letter. Rivera
applauded the Senate's rejection of a
motion to create a Woman's Caucus
while condemning my intentions to
empower women on this campus.
Rivera states. "The Speaker or the
President nor I were approached
about the issue and asked to take
pan in the discussion about the
idea." Well, as a cck sponsor of this
motion. I can distinctly recall a meet-
ing 1 had with Speaker Dan
Castellano three weeks ago to discuss
the proposal.
Furthermore, a motion I intro-
duced to the Senate to construct a
committee to examine the procedures
for the creation of caucuses was over-
whelmingly rejected by the Senate
one Week prior to the Nov. 8 motion
to create a Woman's Caucus. This
committee was intended to be com-
prised of women from the Senate,
including involvement by SGA
President Christine Lopes.
In the same statement. Rivera
questioned why the SGA "leader-
ship" was not informed of this
motion. I'm sorry. I forgot that the
"leadership" had to be informed of
any and all legislation appearing
before the Senate.
Rivera's subsequent claim that
because I am a white male. I should
not be introducing legislation to
empower underrepresenled groups
on this campus is the most troubling
assertalion in the article. As one of
those "well meaning white males" he
sarcastically refers to throughout the
piece. I am enraged that our own
Trustee and the entire SGA Senate
would reject a bill because of the
race, gender and underlying motives
of the makers of a motion designed
to empower women on this campus.
Being involved with an individual
who has ties with the Lverywoman's
Center. I have been gaining an
increased knowledge concerning the
troubles facing women on this cam-
pus. As a man. 1 realize I cannot
directly relate to these problems.
However, this is exactly the reason
why I neglected to include specifics
within my motion. My reason was
primarily to create this body, and
then allow the women interested in
the caucus to create more detailed
governing guidelines.
The Senate made it clear they were
not going to allow a "group of well
meaning white males" to empower
students on this campus. The Senate,
and our Trustee, should read up on
representative democracy and under-
stand gender, race and class will
never have any bearing on my efforts
to better students on this campus.

Student Senator
Young column lacks
humor (again)
To The Editor:
This letter is addressed to Evan
Young himself.
You are such an original thinker.
You're so free from modern social
constraints. You really think you
express original ideas that are some-
how being silenced by our "multicul-
tural PC." society?' Get real. You
write the same garbage every week,
and it's really quite tiresome. Most of
what you write echoes mainstream
American thought, in addition to
reflecting the philosophical underpin-
ning of hundreds of years of con-
quest, domination and exploitation.
The fact is. this country has consis-
tently tried to subvert and murder
only left wing political movements
and thought. Ever heard of COIN-
TELPRO' When was the last time
the FBI genuinely tried to infiltrate
and destroy the KKK? Well, the FBI
has launched campaigns against
peace activists, environmentalists, the
American Indian movement, the
Black Panthers and Martin Luther
King's Southern Baptist Leadership
Conference, to name a few.
Your little analogy the other week
about the faster aliens with four legs
versus the smarter aliens with their
bigger brains was a transparent rep-
re.sentation of your own belief in bio-
logical-determinism. ("Life in our
Galactic Nation." Oct. 29). and I
must add that it is apparent ihat the
"space aliens" are meant to be the
multicultural "others" that make you
so uncomfortable, while the
"humans" are the victimized white
pet)ple like yourself
\oii obviously need to be remind-
ed that biological determinism, an
integral pan of while- supremacy,
and racism was a central belief in
Nazi ideology. So stop whining about
how people call you a Nazi when you
express Nazi ideas. You constantly
try to portray your "free speech" as
having been stifled, when in fact a
stnall number of people are merely
using their own free speech to
respond to the stupid things you say.
Oh, you're such a victim. You're just
another example of how the
right wing politikkkally correct try
to muzzle people for truthfully calling
a racist person a racist.
In your most recent column, you
wrote. "Screw the Indians. Lei's not
feel sorry for completely wiping them
out because we had the guns.
America belongs to us now " Hee-
hee, snicker snicker. Naturally, you
try to make it seem like you really
don't believe that — it's all just a
joke.
But, indeed, nothing in that state-
ment is inconsistent with eveiy other
column you've written for the
Collegian. I bet you just like the way
those words sound. The statement
exemplifies the style you use in all of
your columns: "we" vs. "them." As
plain as day. you are writing to other
white people ("we"), talking about
people of color (and others you don't
like to be around) in the third person.
So, if jokes are going to disgui.se
hate speech and violent rhetoric,
here's another joke everybody can
laugh at: Idiot fascists should be lined
up against a wall and then shot.
Hahhah. Do I really believe that? Of
course I don't.

For some people, Thanksgiving means gath-
ering with family for a feast including a sumptu-
ous turkey, homemade stuffing, mashed pota-
toes covered with gravy and pumpkin pie
For others. Thanksgiving means
taking time to reflect upon the
things they are thankful for.
donating canned food to homeless
shelter or watching their home-
town high school's football game.
For most though, it is a combination of all the
above, with perhaps a little extra — it all
depends on how you celebrate and whom you
celebrate with.
There is something intrinsically unique to
Thanksgiving compared to all the rest of the
national holidays There is much more warmth
and family closeness than on, say, the Fourth of
July. Maybe it's being with the family that can
make Thanksgiving such a different, if not
bizarre, occasion
I'm sure many of us on campus
who have been apart from our
extended families for a few
months now will return with a
slightly different perspective than
in previous years. You may sit
back in amazement, look at the folks passing
around the gravy tiowl and wonder, "Am I really
related to tfyese people?"
There is a bountiful supply of holiday movies
that portray such feelings — disastrous
Thanksgiving dinners where feuding family
memliers won't sit next to each other, the food
tastes horrible (maybe the dog jumped on the
table and stole the turkey) and that happy holi-
day environment seems to get lost in the shuf-
fle.
Take Holly Hunter in her latest Thanksgiving
flick. Home For the Holidays. Her mother med-
dles in her already- troublesome life, her broth-
er announces at dinner that he has married
another man, causing quite a commotion and
her crazy aunt wanders around, singing in a
squeaky falsetto. All these traumas combined
force Hunter to sneak upstairs to the bathroom
to smoke a joint.
My trip home for the holidays isn't quite
unique or funny enough to be made into a

Thai time of year is upon us again. When the
weather is cool and the sweaters are out. there bet-

When you buy your cider, you have lo be careful,
though. There are two types out there on the mar-
ket. First, there is the good, hearty "chunky" kind
You know what I'm talking about. It comes most
often in containers that resemble gallon milk jugs.
It combines excellent flavor and a wonderful tex-
ture to provide the drinker with a unique experi-
ence, especially when warmed and spiced.
On the other hand, there is also the awful, thin,
"apple juice in disguise' type cider. It usually
comes in the same glass jars as apple juice aiul the
only way lo tell the I wo apart is by the labels. Keep
away from this inferior cider at all costs if you want
to enjoy your meal.

Interview with a Greek goddess
Aphrodite star Mira Sorvino talks about life in a Woody*s world
By Jon Lupo
Special to tfie Collegian
Ladies and gentlemen, meet the
Next Big Thing: Mira Sorvino. It's
true, she's the daughter of Paul
(Goodfellas) Sorvino, and yes, she's
the one garnering the most consistent
praise in Woody Allen's latest comic
opus. Mighty Aphrodite. And if she
doesn't quite look familiar as
Aphrodite'% bottle blonde
hooker/porn actress, hold that
thought. Sorvino has found in Mighty
Aphrodite not only a lock on an
Oscar nomination, but more impor-
tantly, her breakthrough role. You
don't need the Psychic Friends
Network to know that this woman is
going to be a star.
But like all such "overnight suc-
cesses," the road to Mighty glory is
couansT mian hm«u
Mira Sorvino in Might Aphrodite
paved with many years of hard work.
And up until a few years ago,
Sorvino, 25. was working nights as a
bartender. That was before hitting
her stride with a string of art house
work, including perfecting a
Castellan tongue for Whit Siillman's
Harcelona and the female lead in the
Long Island gangster picture
Amongst Friends. Not to mention her
recent appearances on the
"Masterpiece Theater' production of
The Buccaneers. Showtime's Parallel
Lives. Wayne Wang's star-laden Blue
in the Face and her most prominent
role, that of Rob Morrow's wife in
Robert Bedford's Quiz Show.
Sitting in a private ante room at
the Four Seasons hotel last month,
the seemingly endlessly talented
Sorvino blushes a bit as I go over her
resume. It's the only moment in my
interview that Sorvino projects less
than utter confidence. But I have a
feeling I've misread her; she gives
that look again, only this time fol-
lowed by a shudder and a request to
turn up the heat in the room. So
much for my perceptive skills.
But I guess it serves me right, try-
ing to puzzle out an actress known
for completely losing herself in the
characters she plays. From her adept
Streep-esque accent mastering 10
chameleon-like shift in look and atti-
tude, Sorvino has more than proven
herself as an actress who sees roles
not as types or stepping stones, but
individual brush strokes in a career
canvas she intends to continue lo
expand. And by the looks of it.
Mighty Aphrodite will be the role thai
will serve as Sorvino's Hollywood
calling card for quite a while. But
what's so special about Aphrodite's
Linda Ash?
"I was really fortunate because the
script revealed itself to be just about
the greatest dumb blonde role written
in the past 25 years, if not ever. And
besides, if Woody knocks only your
door, you open it. unless you want to
pass up a great opportunity," Sorvino
said.
Sorvino didn't take this chance
lightly. To prepare for her role, the
actress "livod" in her role for a week-
end in Philadelphia, complete with
tight pink sweater and dangerously
high heels. Sorvino roamed around
the subway and coffeehouses, paying
keen attention to how people inter-
acted with Linda.

Refreshmcnis Will Be Served
Allen's latest overly whimsical
leaving characters, plot behind
By Jon Lupo
Special to tfte Collegian
MIGHrr APHKODITE
Directed by Woody Allen
With Woody Allen, Mira Sorvino,
Helena Bonharr»-Carter, Michael Rapaport
Playiryg at The Acodemy of Music
Sloppy and pedestrian are not two words usually
associated with the films of Woody Allen. But they're a
pair of apt descriptions that kepi coming to mind while
watching Allen's latest picture, the whimsically titled
Mighty Aphrodite.
In fact, the cleverest thing about the film is \i\ liilc
and the last thing it needs is moa- whimsy. But the lime
the film's Greek chorus starts belting out it's second
musical number, no amount of smart one-liners can
save this clunker. Not that if was very funny to begin
with — certainly every Woody Allen picture has its
chuckles, but when was the last Allen film that featured
such a bevy of non-characters, dead-end scenes and
one staggeringly lame-o ending? (Three words:
Shadows and Fog).
The fact that Allen fails not in the drippy smoke and
mirrors of undergraduate German Expressionist icmi
paper but on his own home turf is even more upsetting.
Narrated by a Greek Chorus (led b> .Xmadeus' F.
Murry Abraham and Moonstruck's Ulympia Dukakis).
Mighty Aphrodite follows a New York sportswriler
(Allen) married to an aspiring gallery owner (tielena
Bonham-Carter) who adopt a child.
When the marriage starts to sour. .Allen seeks out the
birth mother with the idea that ihe woman who ma«le
such a smart and charming kid would have some of
those same qualities. She turns out lo be I inda .Ash
(Quiz Show's Mira Sorvino). a dim hooker and some-
times pom actress. What follows is Allen's allempts at
reforming and refining Linda, including setting her up
with an even more dumb suitor, a onion farming boxer
played by Michael Rapaport.
Despite its admittingly funny moments, this is the
first Woody Allen picture lo flub both on the big and
small details. The marriage between Allen and
Bonham-Carter is barely sketched out ~ coming after
such devastating (Husbands and Wives) and sweetly
comic (Manhattan Murder Mystery) portraits of cou-
ples, this one is surprisingly bland and sketchy. And the
best he could do with the birth mother is the rather
obvious choice of a hooker ... with a heart of gold''
Sorvino is OK in the role (I think she's garnering the
tags of "brilliance" ntore by default; she's the only one
doing anything in the movie) — it's the character that's
transparent, and Sorvino does her best lo give her per-
sonality.
Furthermore. Allen's skin-deep characters leave
good actors hanging with nowhere to go. Besides
Bonham-Carter. poor Peter Wcller (stuck in the Alan
Alda role of the predatory other man) has noting lo do.
and Rapaport kix'ps lingering at ihe end of his scenes
as if he wants lo make more of his debut in an Allen
movie. The Greek chorus idea starts off gix>d (especial-
ly if you know your Greek drama and mythology) but
grinds into irritating Mel Brooksian dopiness It's an
idea thai seemed better suited to the short stories Allen
used lo write for the New Yorker, here, it merely over
slays its welcome.
However, one of the best things about being a
Wootly Allen fan is that no bad Allen movie can linger
long -- the director's prolific filmmaking allows little
clunkers like this lo tester. The fad thai Allen\ next
movie is a musical (!) with Julia Roberts. Tim Roth.
Drew Barrymore and Belle Midler (reportedly titled
Annu- Oz) kept me hopeful even as Mighty .iphrodite
dashed them for this current Allen picture. IX-spite
what some critics are carping (when Roger Fhcrt called
Aphrodite one of Allen's "best and most ingenious
comedies," I kept wondering what kind of crack, exact-
ly, was Roger smoking while viewing). Mighty
Aphrodite is not a go(.Kl movie. Sloppy and pedestrian it
is. C
Ion Lupo is the former Collegian film editor.
"The ironic thing is that people
responded better to her than to me.
although I am her. They talked to her
as if she was stupid, but they liked
her. I'm not as free as her. so it was
quite a release for me." Sorvino said.
Sorvino credits her creation of
Linda's now trademark high-octave
voice as one of the things that not
only helped her gel the role, bul
eventually to distinguish Linda from
the other screen bimbos.
"I created her own syntax, her own
way of talking. It's part of who she
is." she said. "Other than that. I kepi
one motto in my head lo get into
Linda's character: "TF — Tils
Forward!"
The actress kept in character for
most of -Aphrodite's four- month
shoot, and says she was initially ner-
vous that her Method style would be
a problem for the no-nonsense Allen.
Coupled with that, she says, was her
long-standing adulation for the direc-
tor.
"I was very intimidated by the situ-
ation lo begin with. He's a great
writer and filmmaker. I used to read
his books, like Without Feathers'
and C'>etting Fven.' I actually used
Getting Fven' when I was in
Fngland working on The Buccaneers
as a way of tearing myself up when I
needed lo start laughing when I
wasn't in a particularly happy mood.
"I would read passages out loud in
my trailer lo the makeup woman and
within a few moments, we'd both be
cracking up. I told (Woody! that al

One point Sorvino is adamant
about is that she didn't get the job —
or any other job - because of her
famous father. For daughter Mira.

THE MASSACHUSETTS DAILY COLLEGIAN
■ interview
Thursday, November 16, 1995 / Page 9
continued from page 7
with many detours, including a stay at the nation's lop
university. Harvard.
"My father had nothing to do with me getting into the
business. It started in high school with a talent scout who
was looking for girls who could act and ride for a film
called Sylvester. I got called-back, but I didn't get the
role. But it was positive enough feedback for me to gel a
manager. [My father) always discouraged me from getting
into the business. So when I got into college, he was very
excited that I was going to Harvard. There was no ques-
tion that I was going to go, for me and my parents, since
neither of them finished school and to have their oldest
daughter going to school was a big deal for them. For me
too."
At Harvard. Sorvino majored in Chinese studies and
spent a year in China. While there, she dabbled in the per
forming ans, including a job singing in two jazz bands
and on native television.
"I loved it there. I wasn't just Interested in acting,
although I thought it's what I wanted to do with my life.
But I was 99 percent sure there was one part of me that
thought, "uh, maybe it's because my dad is in the business'
and I wanted to expbre other things. So I gave myself the
opportunity and found I came back to acting with more
resolve than ever."
"At that point in my live, |my father's] involvement in
my life was purely in a mentor/ teacher level, not at all on
a 'connections'-based level. I went for years without an
agent, I just had my manager, the same one 1 picked up in
high school. The combination of getting my third feature
on my own without an agent, the buzz from Amongst
Friendi which was about to hit and a screen test I did Iti
Disney got me an agent."
The roles in Quiz Show. Barcelona and The Huccaneer^
followed, leading to Sorvino's cameo in Blue in the Fan
and finally Mighty Aphrodite. In actuality, however, ii
wasn't the natural succession it appears to be. Because
Sorvino's main talent comes from the ability to completely
inhabit different characters, the actress says she has had
trouble with people — mainly casting directors and film-
makers — remembering her from film to film. Sorvino
claims that at first Woody Allen was reluctant to see her
for the part in Aphrodite because he had only seen her in
Barcelona and thought she was actually Spani.sh.
"It happens to me all of the time," Sorvino said. "Once
I was seated next to Quentin Tarantino at a screening of
Blue in the Face. We were talking and halfway through
my scene in the movie, he turned to me and went, that's
you?'"
Her run in with Tarantino not only provided her with
an instant fan. but taught her a lesson about the prickly
price of fame.
"I saw how Quentin was accosted by people. It was
unbelievable. Everywhere he went, people were saying.
Hey Quentin. can I have your autograph'.'' and he'd be
like. I'm just having a nice day here, but how about a
handshake instead?' He would shake people's hands but
didn't want to be signing things all the time. I thought he
handled it very well, but people would really get in his
face. They would not leave him alone: everyone acted a bit
like they owned him."
"I don't imagine reaching that level of fame, but it both-
ers me. that idea that other people change because you're
famous. I would see that when I was a kid and my family
would go to Disneyland and my father would be mobbed
Reason to stay a Supermodel
Baldwin tries to pick up slackf Cindy needs acting classes
By Laura Slock
Collegion Staff
FAX GAME
Directed by Andrew Sipes
with William Baldwin, Cindy
Crawford
Playir)g at Mi. Farms Four
A ponytailed woman is visible
through the glaring yellow sunrise,
as she jogs across the beach in run-
ning shorts and a skimpy little tank
top. It looks as if any second David
Hasselhoff will come sprinting
down the shore, fluorescent orange
rescue tube in hand — but not even
"Baywatch* would stoop to the
level of acting that Fair Came
plummets to.
Supermodel Cindy Crawford
does not move as gracefully into
the acting biz as she does when
she's strutting down runways of the
latest Calvin Klein show. Being the
highest paid supermodel in the
industry, you'd think Crawford
could buy herself some acting
lessons — but alas, she merely
relies upon her days of reading cue
cards on MTV's "House of Style"
as experience behind the camera.
Remember Elizabeth Berkley in
Showgirls? Crawford's acting, er,
talents are comparable to that of
Berkley's, except (sorry, guys)
Cindy does not get the least bit
naked in Fair Game.
The game that Crawford and
Baldwin are playing is one similar
to Die Hard: With a Vengeance
meets Pelican Brief. Young and
beautiful, but not too brainy lawyer
Kale McQucan (Crawford) gets
shot at and gets her house bombed
by KGB terrorist group.

boy. William, plays McQuean's
knight in shining armor. Detective
Kirpatrick. Usually ktK>wn for suc-
cessfully combining a sense of
humor with his sexy, dramatic atti-
tude. Baldwin's performance is
brought down a level by his inexpe-
rienced CO star.
With the impending danger on
McQuean's life, she is forced to
stay with Kirpatrick as the two
slowly unravel the mystery of who
is trying to kill her. and why. The
death toll rises up to Ramho pro-
portions, as the two airheads take
forever to figure out how the
KGB's sophisticated equipment is
tracking their every move.
Crawford's unnatural acting
(high-pitched voice, everything
said with a false smile) is not the
only thing unbelievable in this film.
Why the KGB would have any
problems killing a flaky civil law
attorney is questionable.
What is even more preposterous,
however, is that once they find her.
they change their minds about
flat-out killing her and devise some
elaborate murder scheme instead.
McQuean and Kirpatrick are not
intelligent enough to outsmart the
KGB. they are just lucky. And. of
course, conveniently falling in love
with each other. Puh-lease.
Crawford's utter lack of talent
may generate a few giggles from
the audience, but evokes no other
sentiments whatsoever Baldwin's
feeble attempts as resurecling a
tired storyline end near the begin-
ning of the film — he gives up on
this bomb. loo.
Why filmmakers pushed back
the release of Fair Game so many
limes is understandable, but did
not help the movie one bit.
Hollywood just isn't playing fair on
this one. D-
COUflTISV UIAN HAMIll
Woody Allen seen here in Husbands and Wives
by tourists. They wouldn't be themselves — they would be
these strange, autograph-grubbing people. They were
either over-impressed or frightened by his celebrity and
then he couldn't get to know them as them. On the other
hand, I think I may be lucky in that I continue to have
that face that no one ruite recognizes on screen."
Don't count on it. Sorvino has two films already in the
can — Sweet Nothing, about a couple who dabbles in
drug dealing, was intriguingly based upon a journal found
under a sink in an abandoned apartment and Beautiful
Girls, where the actress plays an anorexic opposite Matt
Dillon. Also. Sorvino has just inked a deal to play Marilyn
Monroe in a cable movie later this year. She has high
hopes not only lor these roles, but for her future careers.
"I know this doesn't happen often, but I really want my
performances to reach the level of art. There are artists
who have done that to me, and I want to do that for oth-
ers."
Spoken like a true Next Big Thing.

THE BAKBER Of SEVIUI
The AAetropoliton Opera House
Nk>v 13
NEW YORK - Even with an
uneven cast. Rossini's The Barber of
Seville is fun. funny and musically
delightful.
So when everyone sings superbly,
acts like a seasoned fareeur and is a
team player — which describes the
cast Monday night at the
Metropolitan Opera — it makes for
one of the most exhilarating evenings
possible in the theater.
Making his Met debut in this first
Barber of the season, baritone
Claudio Desderi, playing the doctor
who wants to marry his young ward,
sang with warm tones in a musically
serious way, while still effectively
making himself a figure of fun.
Jennifer Larmore, who made a
smashing Met debut last season as
the ward Rosina, sang it again. She
has lost nothing in characterization,
coloratura flexibility or creamy lone.
And she has gained in now being a
familiar enough performer thai the
audience doesn't concentrate only on
her.
Ramon Vargas was clear-voiced
and rambunctious as Count
Almaviva, who wins Rosina. And
Roberto Frontali's voice rang, singing
Figaro, the self-confident barber who
pulls some strings.
Stephanie BIythe performed the
housekeeper's aria so well she
received notable applause.
Another standout was the stage
direction by Paul Mills, who cleverly
moved his singers around during a
long sextet and managed to insert
sudden stillness in a wild, farcial
scene.
Met titles helped the cast get sever-
al laughs, as when Figaro congratu
laics the Count by saying. "Your
cheese fell right on the spaghetti."
and when the music teacher, who'd
been ihrealcned with a gun. says he
doublecrossed ihe doctor because
"there are certain offers you can't
refuse."
A MASKED BAU
The Metropkxlion Opera House
Nov 12
NEW YORK - It's delightful to
hear an exciting new singer at the
opera, and just as nice to sec an accom-
plished singer lake on a comfortable
old role in an exciting new way.
Sharon Sweet has sung Amelia in
Verdi's A Masked Ball at the
Metropolitan Opera before, but
Friday nighl. in the first Masked Ball
of this season, she sang it with tonal
beauty and so many fir)e shadings of
emotion that she made Amelia inter
esling and vital.
Amelia can raihcr fade into the
background, though she has a lot to
sing. She's the wife of the king of
Sweden's besi friend, and she and the
king have fallen in love. They each
vow to stay apart and they sing pas-
sionately about fighting their love in
their one scene together. Bui her hus-
band, who walks into thai scene,
decides they've commilled adultery
and murders the king, at a masked
ball.
Paolo Gavanelli sang the husband,
sounding secure, a bit strident, older
than his wife and primarily con
cemed what other people think He
does briefly mention that he loves his
wife.
Francisco Araiza sang the king,
with a youthful, pleasing lone, lorce
ful when he's being rcNolule. melting
when he's thinking about Amelia.
He's a fine Verdi tenor.
Dolora Zajick as Ulrica, the for-
tune teller who prophesies the king's
murder, made her low notes HK-an
ingful without ever bccornmg gullur
el. I-Jizabeth Norberg-Sehulz made
her Mel debut as the king's page. Her
high coloratura was pleasing but >he
seemed to swallow her low notes.
The staging of the chorus in
Ulrica's scene was effectively grand.
Mark Elder conducted with care for
musical unity.
Verdi sometimes wrote tinkling,
frivolous-sounding music, to which
serious mailers are sung. And he
ended this opera, with everybody
kneeling to pray, with a soaring, sub-
lime melody. (M.C.)

Until Juitice Is Done
Pocket Star Books
Chrisiine McGuire's latest
novel. Lntil justice Is Done, is a
sequel to la*t year's bestseller.
Until Proien Guilty. Last time.
K<ithr>Ti McKay was chasing after
a serial murderer. This time
around, in a slight!) different sce-
nario, the ambitious deputy dis-
trict attorney is going after a bru-
tal serial rapist.
i'ntil Proien Guilty is a taut,
suspense thriller, with plenty of
action and fiery dialogue. This
time around, the plot feels recy-
cled ds Kathryn continues to strug-
gle with ihe killer combination of
single mother and working
woman.
.As a serial rapist continues to
strike, calling all his victims "little
pigs." Kathryn works furiously
with her friend Inspector Dave
Granz to identify the rapist. Along
the way. she is sidetracked by a
personal tragedy and a series of
vigilante killings. Il"s Detective
Michael Gaines whose dogged
pursuit of the rapist intensifies as
he works with a determination
that mystifies both Kathryn and
Dave
Like the previous novel, t>i/i7
lustice /» Done explains the law,
police procedure and autopsy
details well. The reader is taken
step by step through a medical
examination.
Probably the best part of this
book is Michael's investigation.
His attention to detail and careful
logic uncovers the rapist in the
nick of lime, not to mention
revealing a great deal of how the
police procedure works.
Lnfortunaiely. while clear and
concise, the story drags. None of
Ihe suspense that characterized the
first novel is in this one. Michael's
investigation takes a backseat to
Kathryn and Dave's relationship
until the second half of the book
and McGuire practically gives
away the ending several chapters
before the actual conclusion.
Chances are if you've read Lntil

lordan is forced to confront the
ghosts of her defunct tennis cartx-r
as well as the terrible tragedies
that soon overshadow the presti-
gious tournament.
The novel, co-written with Liz
Nickles {Bahy.Buhy^ is filled with
wry observations of life and witty
commentary, not to mention plen-
ty of behind-the-scenes peeks into
the tennis world, lordan is a thor-
oughly likeable heroine and her
sense of humor, even at the most
trying times in the story, lifts the
basic doom and gloom premise.
Even though the story moves slow-
ly at times, it's a decent attempt at
a first novel and definitely worth a
try. A
Bones and Ash to play in Fine Arts Center
By Seenra Gongatirkar
Coilegion Staff
The critically acclaimed theater
group Lrban Bush Women will pre-
sent Bones And Ash: A Gilda Story in
the Fine Arts Center Concert Hall
Saturday night at 8 p.m.
Using contemporary idioms and
inter-disciplinary forms, the company
has created numerous dance/theater
works rooted in African-American
folklore and spiritual traditions.
Through movement, live music and a
cappella vocalizations based on field
hollers and chants. Urban Bush
Women explores the struggle,
growth, transformation survival of
the human spirit and creates a power-
ful sense of community on stage that
speaks to a broad audience.
Based on a novel by lewelle Gomez
entitled The Gilda Stories. Saturday's
performance will feature dance, the-
ater, spoken and sung text with origi-
nal music and chortxjgraphy.
The theme centers around the
empowerment of women through his-
tory and the basic human need for
belong to a family or another primary
group. It also explores motifs of
exploitation, power, discovery,
mythology, loss and family
The story, which travels through
time and space from .New Orleans to
San Francisco and Boston, tells the
tale of a young woman who escapes
from slavery in the New Orleans area
and is taken in and raised by two
women, one Creole and the other a
Native .America (who are lovers and
vampires). These vampires do not kill
their hosts. Instead they have a sym-
biotic relationship with their victims,
where they trade visions and dreams
for the blood substance they require.
These vampires are nurturers, healers
and sometimes warriors.
The theater group was estab-
lished in 1984 by Artistic Director
jawole Willa lo Zollar. Zollar. who
was raised in Kansas City, was
stepped from childhood in both
sacred and secular aspects of popu-
lar Black culture. She began her
dance training with Joseph
Stevenson, a student of the leg-
endary Katherine Dunham.

Loni Andersons new tell-all book dishes the dirt on Burt
By Bob Thomas
Assoc lOtad Press
Collegian News
Your reaspn for li>Hrii '' ^ -^
(or maybe just your reason for reading the
paper...)
LOS ANGF.LES — Loni Anderson,
star of "WKRP in Cincinnati," "The
Nurses' and the tabloids, assumes a
somber role in NBC's .Monday night
drama, "Deadly Family Secrets."
The suspense movie casts
Anderson as a woman who witnesses
a murder on the way to visit her sis-
ter (Gigi Rice) and new brother-in-
law (Greg Evigani. Could her sister's
husband be the killer'.' After
Anderson testifies before a grand
jury, more violence occurs.
"Besides being a thriller, it's a rela-
tionship between two women, and I
like that." Anderson said at her home
in a gated community off Mulholland
Drive.
Anderson lives in the spacious
house with attorney Geoffrey Brown,
her son Ouentin — adopted with ex-
husband Burt Reynolds — and her
son's nanny. Fittingly, nearly every-
thing is blond: carpels, drapes,
couches, staircase.
In addition to the NBC movie,
Anderson has another production n*
talk about: her autobiography. "N^'
Lite in High Heels." just published in
hardcover.
"What I wanted it to be is the
growth of a woman, a woman who
survives,* she said. 'It's about my
childhood, the death of my parents,
my career, my divorces and my chil-
dren. Then of course, the trauma of
my marriage to Burt.
"I tell everything. I had to wait two
years so there was no anger, no bit-
terness. I think if you're going to
write abc'ut yourself, you have to do
it warts and all. ^'ou may not even
tell the nicest things about yourself,
because you're telling the truth."
How docs Revnolds fare in the
book?
"I don't know — truthfully. He's
real. He's not a monster. And he's
not always wonderful. He's a man
with a lot of problems, and a man I
adored." she said. "We had one
breakup in our 12 years, and that's
all there was. He went back to Sally
Field for a minute, and we got back
together. That was two years into our
relationship.
"The rest ot the time, it was a
working relationship that certainly
had its deception — finding out that
there had been another woman in it
for most of our marriage. That was a
shuck. I would have bet any amount
of tji^ney ;hcrc was no other woman.
*Thcrt was pain. There was some
abuae. There wa» drag addiction, on
his pan. There was always me trying
to save it and feeling very empowered

that I thought I could. And there was
great love on my part."
Since the split, she said: "I can't
help but feel I was in the relationship
all by myselL"
Imnically, one of her co-stars in the
new NBC movie, Gigi Rice ("The lohn
Larroquette Show"), had been an
apprentice at Burt Reynolds' lupiter
Theater in Florida and had attended
the wc-dding of Loni and Bun.
"Everybody said how much Gigi
looked like me. and now she's playing
my sister," Anderson said.
But after a welcome respite and
some location shooting in Austin,
Texas, for "Deadly Family Secrets,"
Anderson finds herself right back in
the tabloids.
"It's just kind of never-ending. I
just ignore it. unless they do some-
thing libelous. Well, it's all libelous,"
she said. "I ignore it unless they do
something harmful, then I think you
have to take action. Otherwise, I
think it's just wrapping next week's
garbage, and nobody remembers who
was on the cover last week."

Kill Rock Stors/Lookoot!
Look in the Various Artists section of your lavorite
record store and it will be (looded with compilations frvm
every independent label imaginable from Bus Stop to
Ba-Da-Bing to Bomp! Most are filled with a couple
worthwhile tracks but overall ihcy leave much to be
desired.
A Slice Of Lemon is not your average album by any
means. Spread over two albums or CDs, this compilation
offers one of the best documents of the recent west coast
punk and pop scenes. There may be no Rancids or Green
Days here but that just adds to the fun.
The diversity of the album gives this compilation a
boost above the competition. This is hardly filled with 40
bands that all sound the same. Take a listen to the punk
rock sounds of the Mr. T txperience's "Adjcxtive," or the
cuddle core tunes of Cub's "Green Eyes" or the
Dylan-esque folk of Mary Lou lord's "Eternal Circle" and
you will understand. Punk rock is not a sound it is an atti-
tude that all of these artists share.
Other stand out tracks include "Hello Nucko" a near
perfect pop song by Emily's Sassy Lime, "Silly" by Go
Sailor and Pussycat Trash's "Wish Fulfillment" which def
initely will delight any fans ol Muggy Bear.
If 40 songs, by many of the key rncinbers of the west
coast scene, is not enough, the compilation is priced to fit
your budget. Two CDs or albums for the price of one. To'
a slice of this lemon. A- (Mike Burke)

7 Seconds brings punk to Noho
By Adam Diugacz
Collegion Staff
Today bands like Green Day and
their ilk sing about girls and grow-
ing up in the suburbs and are
called punk. Rancid plays rehashed
Clash tunes dress like the Sex
Pistols and arc considered revolu-
tionary. There was a lime when
punk bands sang about unity,
about overthrowing authority and
about being an individual. Punk
was a way of thinking not a style of
dress, if any band represents those
old school ideals that band is 7
Seconds. Ten years ago Kevin
Seconds sang "It's in my head, it's
in my heart." It still holds true for
them today.
While Minor Threat was estab-
lishing hardcore and straightedge
in the cast, 7 Seconds was doing it
in the west. Combining manic
thrash with a melody and
sing-a-long choruses 7 Seconds
were quickly embraced by the
whole country. Earlier songs like
"You Lose," "Heavy Metal lock,"
and "Young Till I Die" quickly
became the anthems of the discn-
Iranchised youth. However it was
their classic album Walk Together
Rock Together that grabbed the
punk communities attention. It was
that album that inspired later hard-
core bands like Youth Of Today
and Gorilla Biscuits.
Ten years after Walk Together
Rock Together 7 Seconds are still
going strong. After a brief foray
into pop and a Kevin Seconds solo
album, (he original line up is back
playing the frenetic thrash they're
famous for. Instead of seeing a

So send your hair to .
rap" bandwagon. B.G. Knocc Out & Dresta claim to fame
is the fact that they are "actors." they have been though
the Compton penal system. What they don't know is that
to be a music artist, even a gangsta rapper, you need tal-
ent not just a criminal record.
Dresta is no rookie lo the rap worid, as he previously
wrote a track for the late Eazy-E. Similar to so many
gangsta rappers, this sibling duo attempts to u.se every
expletive in the book all while singing about the same
thrtx" regurgitated topics — chronic, hoes and glocks.
Even for a gangsta rap album this one is sub standard.
Take away the lyrics and you are left with a decent Bass
CD. that might actually sell. If you are into glorifying vio-
lence and enjoy hearing the word n"**r as many times as
humanly possible, you may be interested in wasting your
money on these ex-convicts. Don't expect to hear this

NEW YORK — "Do you want to confront the person
who disfigured your face'.' If so, call us ..."
"Have you or a relative ever made love to F^esident
Clinton'.' If so, give me a call ..."
One of these overtures, and the talk show it was ntadc on.
is for real. The other is a hoax. Can you tell which is which'.'
Now try these: Here's a "jerry Springer Show" titled
"Loving Myself," where an overweight woman whc> loves
to kiss her own breasts displays the lipstick smears to
prove it.
Click. On "Sally Jessy Raphael," a man named Rich tells
of suing a nightclub where he was attacked by a ghost.
Click. On "Night Stand with Dick Dielrick," four illegal
aliens compete in a talent show where the winner gets a
green card and the losers are deponed.
"Night Stand," of course, is the ringer. Launched earlier
this fall, it's a weekly syndicatc-d spoof of talk shows, air
ing on most stations in a wc>ckend late-night slot (chc-ck
local listings).
That nocturnal scheduling is one easy way to distin-
guish "Night Stand' from "Carnie," "Rolonda."
"Geraldo," "Gabrielle" and the other wc-ekday talk shows
it lampoons.
Other notable differences: "Night Stand" is fully script
ed, and rather cleverly. Actors play all the roles on seg-
ments such as "Frivolous l.awsutts (Drop Your Briefs and
Give Me Ten)," "Whoops! I Think I Like My Cousin,"
and, as pan of the oh-so-caring "Night Stand's* Save Our
Kids initiative ... "Teerwge Hardbody Prostitutes."
Host Dick Dietrick, a gangly underachiever with an
overbite and thinning hair atop a thick head, is played by
actor-writer Timothy Stack, who formerly was in the
Groundling improv troupe and the father on the sitcom
"Parker Lewis Can't Lose."
Now throw in the tearful testimony and heated con-
frontations, the rowdy audience, the arena set. the throb
bing theme music and Dick's transparently insincere sin
eerily, and it becomes obvious that "Night Stand' is the
plastic bari of talk shows — as funny as the real thing, yet
no one had to really get sick.
But, boy. does il look real.
"Some people don't see any difference," says Tim
Stack, who is also one of the Los Angeles-based "Night
Stand's" creators. "We did a show called I Have a Dirty
Little Si-crc"t.' where a young woman broke the news to
her mothc*r that she left medical scIhx)I to become a strip-
per. We got a letter from a guy — "Dear Melissa, I'm so
proud of you for telling your mom.' "
Wail. That sounds like a reverse twist on "Is There Life
After a Career in Pom'.'" one of the authentic talk show
topics — along with others like "Gel Bigger Breasts or
Else" and "Women Who Married Their Rapist" - that
has William Bennett so riled up.
Earlier this month, the fomicT Education Secatary blast-
ed talk shows as 'cultural rot" and cited several by name.
"Night Stand's" host fired back.
"I am deeply disappointc-d," pronounced Dick Dietrick
in an open letter to (Wnnett — disappointed, that is, at
being left off Bennett's list.

How to cook up a traditional Thanksgiving dinner from scratch
Tara MK
Connelly
tvcr> year ihcrc is some place you go to celebrate the
Thanksgiving holiday. Maybe it's your Grandparents or
your own home, hut most likely it's at the one place where
the person is a reasonably good cook.
Thanksgiving dinner isn't easy and most of the time cre-
ating the mountain of food for the hungry mas.ses takes
liming and a lot of practice. Of course there is always the
dreadi-d dry turkey, the lumpy mash potatoes, the con-
glonieraied gravy and the tarter than sour balls cranberry
sauce — but you deal.
If you're up to the challenge here is hov^
to put together a Thanksgiving meal so
good the bird of choice for nonbelicvcrs (as
in "I can't believe you want to cook this
year"! to feast upon will be crow.

Disney's Toy Story' a technological triumph
By John Horn
Aisociuted Pres
BURBANK. Calif - It looks like a mismalch.
Robin \Mlliams. Robert De Niro. Whitney
Houston and Gcena Davis are about to clash
with Woody. Buzz. Rex and Mr. Potato Head,
playthings that aren't even one fool tall.
The holiday film season is loaded with big
stars and Oscar-caliber releases, but it may be
Disney's "Toy Story" — and the new computer
animation system behind it — that collects most
of the attention.
The film about a child's toys come to life not
onl\ could K' the season's breakout work but
also could establish a ikw benchmark in anima-
tion history.
Dnlil.e the elaboraleFy drawn artwork in
"Potahonias" or the stop-motion photography of
"A Nightmare Before Christmas." "Toy Story" Is
the first animated feature wholly bom and raised
inside a computer. Two dozen artists, many clas-
sically trained animators, created the film bv
manipulating digital models of toys, people and
places.
The 'Toy Story" animation, by the San
Francisco-area Pixar Animation Studios, yields a
lifelike world where toys such as pull-string
cowboy Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks) and
intcrgalactic traveler Buzz Lightyear (Tim
Allen) can walk, talk and emote as if they were
alive.
Although the toys inhabit a zone that is clearly
whimsical, the film's makers have spent two
years in front of computer screens trying to make
the movie as "real" as possible.
The film's humans and a dog named Scud
don't look especially lifelike, but Pixar's anima-
tion software captures the appearance and sheen
of plastic particularly well and textures and shad-
ing of everything from bookshelves to doors are
true.
"It's clearly an animated film, but it's so
dimensional." said the film's director. |ohn
I a-seter "\\ hai we concentrated on was creating
a believable world."
The winter's film slate showcases several other
films trying to make the unbelievable real. They
include Willidnis in "jumanji." aKiul u fantastic
board game, the slum-filled lames Bond film
"Goldeneyc" and the Geena Davis pirate movie
"Cutthroat Island."
Many studios release their most prestigious
titles in late November and December to capture
the mosi Academy Award momentum entering
1996. The liisl-minulc releases introduce
"Nixon." starring .Anthony Hopkins. De Niro's
"Casino." Houston in "Waiting to Exhale."
Harrison F>.>rd in a remake of "Sabrina" and
movie adaplalions of 'Richard III." "Othello"
and "Sense and Sensibility."
When all the tickets are counted, however, it
will probably be "Toy Story" resting atop the
box office chest.
The premise of the film is simple: When Andy
leaves his bedroom, his toys gel busy. It's no
playground, though. The toys might as well be
working in an office — amusing children hap-
pens to be iheir adult 9-5 job.
As with any profession, there are the usual
characters. The piggv' bank Hamm is nosy, the
dinosaur Rex is paranoid, and Mr. Potato Head is
short tempered. The support personnel include
classic loys Slinky Dog. Etch-a-Sketch. plastic
Army men and Barrel of Monkeys.
Woody runs the bedroom as his boardroom
until Buzz Lightyear arrives as one of Andy's
birthday presents. Sporting fold-out "wings"
and a red "laser," Buzz is convinced he is actu-
ally a visitor from another galaxy, and a jeal-
ous Woody eventually knocks Buzz out the
window. Woody ventures beyond the bed-
room's safety lo rescue Buzz, propelling
Woody and Buzz into an adventure that
includes a demonic neighborhood kid named
Sid.
The screenplay, credited to eight writers,
evolved over a two-year period. Animation took
another two years. Among the critical story deci-
sions was to focus on the loys. not Iheir owner,
and to make Buzz and Woody's road trip a new-
variation on the old buddy movie formula.
"Disney and Pi».ar spent a lot of lime worrying
about the story." said Bonnie Arnold, the film's
producer and a newcomer lo animation. "The
technology captures people's interest for about
five minutes. The audience has to remember the
story, not the technology."
Disney and Pixar enjoyed cooperation from
several toy makers, but there were at least two
holdouts. Mallei resisted putting iis Barbie into
the film, and Hasbro declined lo let Sid blow up
a G.I. K)e doll with a firecracker. (The new vic-
tim is cunningly named Combat Carl.)
The filmmakers hope that most viewers won't
notice the movie's technical tricks — if they
have succeeded at all, the wizardry should be
invisible.
"There's a level of emotional bclievability in
traditional animation." said Thomas
Schumacher. Disney's senior vice president of
feature animation. "This film also relies on emo-
tion and sioryielling. But we want you lo believe
you're looking at a real Etch-a-Sketch."
Disney has plans to make at least two more
animated movies using the Pixar studios, but the
new technology will not displace the more famil-
iar two-dimensional drawings used in "The Lion
King" and "Beauty and the Beast."
"I think it's a new art form in a way." said Pete
Docter. one of the film's writers and its supervis-
ing animator. "But it won't be replacing anylhing
else."

Sunday, she landed in Metropolis as
one half of an evil sister duo on "Lois
& Clark: The New Adventures of
Superman." The former "Cheers' star
was joined by "SNL" veteran Mary
Cross as the two turned Superman
(Dean Cain) mortal with red
Krypionite. Unfortunately for them,
they didn't really solve the problem,
because Superman's powers were
transferred over to Lois (Teri
Hatcher), who doesn't lose any
ground in declaring herself Ultra
Woman Makes her sound like an ad
rep for a hair dye.
Bcbc Neuwirlh, another "Cheers"
alumni, guest-starred on
"Ncwsradio" as Sandi, a temp hired
by Dave (Dave Foley) to help cheer-
up Beth (Vicki Lewis). While Sandi
and Beth may have been friends in
the past, the two of them ended up at
each other's throats. For added gags.
Bill (Phil Harlman, ye: another
"SNL" drop-out) tangled with the
security guard played by Tone Loc.
Of course, last week also signalled
the end of Rebecca Cayhcarl and
Luke Perry on "Beverly Hills,
90210." Gayheari, who played the
ill-fated Anionia, married Dylan and
then was murdered by her own
father's hitmen the next evening.
Dylan rode off into the sunset on a
motorcycle and into the glitzy world
of grade-B movies.
Those people who miss Antonio
Sabalo |r. on "Melrose Place" got
another chance to check out the for-
mer "General Hospital" hunk in
NBC's "Her Hidden Truth" co-star-
ring with "Christy's" Kcilie Martin.
Billie (Martin) was convicted of set-
ting the fire that killed her mother
and sister and after spending eight
years in juvenile detention, she
escapes arvd then scurries off to clear
her reputation. She teams up Officer
Matt Samanie (Sabalo) afier her only
ally, a priest, is killed. As usual with
movies of this genre. "Her Hidden
Truth" had that implausible quality
and was perfect for those who need-
.»ed a good laugh.
"Sisters" featured a two hour
episode on Saturday. Airing after
an episode of "lag" that looked sus-
piciously like a recent Harrison
Ford movie. "Sisters" was a gener-
ous helping of cheese. After Alex
(Swoosie Kurtz) discovered she's
going through menopause and flips
out on her talk show. Then her
daughter Reed holds a Heidi Fleiss
type gel- together that was enough
to make even the most stalwart
"Sisters" fan to change the chan-
nel.

B: When I was in high school
we had an exchange with stu-
dents from Moscow and I had a
Russian girl stay in my home. It
was fun to share an American
tradition with someone who had
never experienced it before.
W: About three or four years
ago, a horrible blizzard snowed
my family in, and we couldn't
drive to my grandmother's house
for Thanksgiving dinner. Luckily,
my mother had a turkey in the
freezer, but my parents, my sis-
ter and 1 didn't get to eat until
midnight.
Matt Vautour
Editor in Chief
B: When 1 was about six, my
grandfather. who had
Alzheimer's disease pretty
severely, joined us for what
would be his last Thanksgiving.
At that time, he was having more
bad days than good but for that
one day he was in a good mood
and mostly coheient and even let
me beat him in checkers.
W: Two words: Stomach virus.
Justin C. Smith
Sports Associate
B: Normally there is a small
gathering at my Aunt and
Uncle's house in Saugus. I was
12 and all our extended relatives
came over for a family
reunion/Thanksgiving dinner.
After our usual filling meal, all
my uncles and cousins went over
to the high school down the
street and played the most
incredible mud football game
ever. No one even attempted to
wash their clothes, we just threw
them away. Yes, we do dress up
for Thanksgiving.
W: The one I wasn't at.
Laura Schmidt
Woman 's Issues Co-Editor
B: The best Thanksgiving had
to be last year. One of my
friends who lives far away stayed
with my family and shared the
holiday with us. It felt good to
ease my friends homesickness
by including him in the festivi-
ties.
W: Every year after I eat too
much.
Wendy Darling
GLB Issues Editor
B: My parents grew up in New
York City, so it's always been a
tradition to go to the Macy's
Thanksgiving Day Parade. We
used to stay in this kinda' skeezy
hotel near Times Square and do
things like wander around
Rockerfeller Center at two in the
morning. The parade itself was
also great — much better than
on TV, especially watching those
poor people who had to hold
down the giant balkxjns.
W: You know those families
where every holiday is a chance
to get in a big fight? Well, that's
my family. As a result. I have
had a lot of bad Thanksgiving
experiences. The absolute top-
per, however, has got to be the
time one of my older sisters got
so mad at me she squirted a
2-liter bottle of 7-Up right in my
face — right in the middle of din
ner. She claims she doesn't
remember doing this, but I sure
do. Temporary insanity?
Mark McGrath

B: My best Thanksgiving had
to have been when the power
went out. All of the local restau-
rants were closed, so we had to
wait until the power came back
on. Boy, were we hungry, and
boy. was that turkey good.
W: My worst Thanksgiving was
the one when I broke my leg
playing football before the big
meal even started. Three hours
In a hospital and cold turkey
after the others have all eaten
can't make for a very enjoyable
day.
Andrew Bryce
Ed/Op Associate
B: My buddy and 1 went to a
football teammate's house to
hang out on Thanksgiving night
during our senior year in high
school and 1 found out this kid's
grandparents knew my grandfa-
ther. They apparently played golf
together on many occasion.
They also managed to tell every-
body there how they used to call
my grandfather "peckerhead."
Somehow, everybody there
got a big laugh out of It.
W: During our freshman year
in college, all of my high school
friends at home had a reunion of
sorts, and we qot cocked.
Probably the best Thanksgiving
Eve I've ever had.
Turkey Day itself, though, was
a struggle. All the turkey and its
fixings looked so good going
down, but not as well coming
out.
Marni E. Helfner
Managing Editor
B: It was my first Thanksgiving
after I moved out of my Mom's
house and I was living with a fos-
ter family. They took me to one
of their sets of in-laws for
Thanksgiving dinner. On the way
we listened to WNEW, the clas-
sic rock station in NYC. who as
some form of tradition, play Arlo
Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant."
At 16. it was the first time I
had ever heard the song and I
loved it. Even now, I can't have a
Thanksgiving without hearing
"...You can get anything you
want, at Alice's Restaurant/Just
walk right In it's around the
back/just a half a mile from the
railroad track/you can get any-
thing you want at Alice's
Restaurant."
W: The same Thanksgiving
with grandparents/In-laws I had
never met before.
Tim White
Collegian columnist
B: The absolute best
Thanksgiving was in my fresh-
man year of college I had been
practically suffering from scurvy
and rickets due to the lack of
nutritkxi 1 got at the dining com-
mons. 1 went home, bloated
myself silly and got to see my
dog. Oh yeah, and my family
too.
W: I was around 12 years old
when the family cat decided to
let go of its worms near the
pumpkin pie. I can never quite
enjoy pumpkin pie like 1 used too
Bob Dunn
Collegian columnist
B: The most fun 1 had during
Thanksgiving was watching my
Aunt get in an argument with
my father over turkey giblets.
She swore up and down that
someone had removed the
turkey heart from the bird and
replaced it wilh a chicken heart.
Not only could she apparently
distinguish between the two. but
somehow thought the turkey
heart was belter than the chick-
en heart.
W: Every one beskles that is a
fie.

formed to look into the whole bonding issue and it was
finally agreed that some sort of game would be
played. You know. Pilgrims versus Indians, a match
made in ESPN heaven. Unfortunately, it wasn't quite
so easy to pick what to play. Since foreign language
wasn't a requirement in Plymouth Rock, it seemed
that simplicity was the way to go.
The Indians wanted archery and the Pilgrims were
dead set on musketry. Finally, the Indians suggested a
game of baseball, using the discarded turkey bones as
bats, and all seemed to be in agreement. Then the
Pilgrims discovered Albert Belle was playing with a
corked bone and that was the end of that.
Noticeably upset at the accusations, the Indians
decided to go on strike. The Pilgrims didn't like the
way things were going, so they had a mini pow-wow
with a mutually agreed upon arbitrator, and together
came up with the idea of changing the game from
baseball to football. Well, the first game was a slaugh-
ter. The Indians, being a baseball team, didn't quite
grasp the concept of football. Score: 42-0. Pilgrims.
After the game, all gathered to watch the first
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Good Wife Kathie
Lee Gifford provided commentary and Squanto was
Grand Marshall. Some entries included the Mayflower
Float made of real mayflowers and the Plymouth Rock
Float was so heavy that it sank.
After the parade, the merry bunch prepared to eat.
Unfortunately, some of the Pilgrims who were on the
10- meal plan couldn't eat. because the dinner was
held on a Saturday. After that fiasco, the Committee
For Thanksgiving Day Improvement decided to move
the feast to a Thursday, so that all could be accom-
modated.
Then there was the little question of where the
Indians would sleep because the Pilgrims wouldn't
give them free room and board because it just wasn't
in their budget. Instead a list of local dwellings was
passed around with 15 percent disc <)unt packet
Including free continental breakfast.
In the end, a good time was had by all. Miles
Standish had the privilege of winning the big side of
the wishbone and he wished that the new holiday
would be celebrated for hundreds of years to come.
Fortunately for us. his wish came true and November
will never be the same again.

movie, but it may be a story that many people can
relate to.
Every year, I go to my old high school's football
game, where the players battle it out with their rival
team on the field while 1 get frostbite on the sideline. I
love footk>all — but the Millis Mohawks winning is not
as interesting as watching the Patriots lose. The only
reason I brave the cold and crowd is to see my old
friends and teachers wfKj go for the same reason.
Thanksgiving dinner is held at my grandparents'
house, which necessitates an hour-long cat ride. My
grandmother's quirk? She eats dinner extremely early,
around noon or s<j. but by the time my aunts, uncles,
and cousins get assembled, we t>egin eating around
one — much too early in my opinion.
We have the usual spread of turkey and stuffing -
but the real selection in my family is found on the
dessert table. The sweet-tooth thing is genetic, 1
guess.
After the gravy-stained dishes have been cleared,
the house becomes segregated. The men head for the
livingroom, my father being the leader of the pack,
and tum on the T.V. In a tryptophane-induced trance,
they lean back in their respective armchairs, unbuckle
their belts and drowsily watch the obligatory football
game.
The women seem to linger in the dining room, sip
ping tea, having seconds on dessert and spreading the
latest gossip atxsut "so-and-so at the church Bingo
night and Mrs. What's Her Name who's husband
passed away ..." — my grandmother always being in
the know. She prattles on atx)ut people I have never
heard of and I usually wander into the livingroom to
wat< h the game with my dad.
I can never escape without the usual drilling. "So
how is school going? How's the newspaper thing
working out? Tell me about this guy you're dating " I
just smile, and respond, "fine." to everything.
Kisses on the cheek all around and Tupperware
bowls filled with left-overs, we get ready to leave. It
lakes my mother about an hour to say goodbye to
everyone, so my father just continues watching the
game until she heads out the door.
This is my Thanksgiving tradition and 1 have
learned to enjoy it. not dread it. The year-to-year rou-
tine Is always being broken up by events like mar
riages and births and the more the family expands,
the more interesting it becomes.
So. whether you are looking forward to Turkey Day
or not. just remember it could be worse. Cut your
losses, and take a bunch of leftovers back up to
school with you. And don't forget, Christmas is right
around the comer.

Different game with departure of top players
By Ken Berger
Associated Press
Once again, the intrigue of another college bas-
ketball M'a>.on lies in what might have been.
What if North Carolina had Rasheed Wallace and
jerrv- Stackhouse? What it' Mar>iand had |oc Smith?
Arkansas would have Corliss Williamson and
Scolty Thurman. Had Antonio McDyess stayed
around. .Alabama would be gunning for its lirit Swecl
lb appearance since the Wimp Sanderson days.
Instead, they're all gone, lured b> the riches of
the NB.A and leaving a changed game behind.
"It just thrv>ws more uncertainty into our game."
Kentucky coach Rick Pitino said, "lusl think if
Ra»hivd Wallace and Stackhouse had stayed togelh-
c"r. or the Fab Five. So you a-ally can't count on a run
for a championship and keeping a nucleus together,
because a great nucleus is constantly bruken up."
In last year's \BA draft, the first four plavers
chosen were sophomores. Smith was the second
sophomore in three years to go No. 1. E-,ven scarier,
the fifth pick was Kevin Gametl. who never even
went lo college.
The delicate process of building a winner with
smart recruiting and coaching has been thrown
into chaos
"I know from experience now that it's a tough
thing to overcome." said .Alabama coach David
Hobbs. who seemed to he on the fast track lo great
things until McDyess left school early to be the No.
2 pick "If you've got 12 guys on scholarship, one
guy can make a whole lot of difference, particularly
when he's vour best guy. If Antonio McDyess is
back in \hi- program, he's the best player in |the
Southeastern Conference]."
Arkansas coach Nolan Richardson thinks there's
a lot more to be concerned about than how good
teams would be if their stars had stayed in school.
"The kids today are going to see |Game(t| skip
the whole deal, and they're going to say. "He>. if
I'm good enough my senior year in high school, I'm
going to the NB.A.'" Richardson said.
"I'm scared, I'm worried. It scares me when I
think that W percent of those kids are black.
That's very frightening, because I know the per-
centage of kids that make it to the NBA." he said.
Pitino. who coached in the NBA with the New-
York Knicks. has come to accept players leaving
C'ulle)>ian (iruphics:
college early for the draft. But he agrees with
Richardson that Gamett's jump from high school
to the pros could rekindle a precedent set by
Shawn Kemp, who went from high school in little
Elkhart. Ind., straight to "the league."
"I think that's fool's gold." Pitino said. 'I think
emotionally and physically, they need college bas-
ketball. I know from coaching in the pros that they
just cannot do it physically. The demands are so
great. They should not choose that path."
Hobbs, an assistant at Alabama under
Sanderson, desperately needed McDyess back for
another NCAA tournament run this season. Last
year. Alabama went 25- 10 and got knocked out in
the second round of the tourney by Oklahoma
State, which went on lo the Final Four.
Most notable about Alabama's tournament show-
ing was the play of McDyess. a raw talent who aver-
aged a modest 14 points a game during the season.
The Quitman. Miss., native exploded on the NCAA
stage, tantalizing NBA scouts with 61 points and 5b
rebounds in two games. Hobbs said a high-stakes
battle for McDyess kicked in almost immediately.
"I ihink at the end of (the tournamentj. in
Antonio's mind, he was coming back." Hobbs said at
the SEC media tipoff. "But thcTC was so much talk,
and you krww how they do il. lAgenls) don't just try
to get to the kid. thc"y pet to everybody around the
kid — his mom. his brother, his high school coach."
McDyess didn't make his decision lo leave
school until two days before the end of the spring
recruiting season, highlighting a problem Hobbs
hi>pes the NCAA will fix.
"I think you give a guy a certain amount of time
after the season's over to decide." he said. "And
then when that decision time is over with, there
needs to be at least a month for the college to
recover from that. Not two days."
Hobbs has another suggestion that would no doubt
stir some controversy and maybe even lav^uils.
"If they're going to take guys into the NBA out of
high school, then we ought to have a rule like they
have in baseball." Hobbs said. "If he 'goes oui of high
school, then go. If he doesn't go out of high school
and goes to college, then he ought to stay three years."
Richardson said the NBA's rookie salary cap
should be enough to slow down the mass exodus,
or at least clean it up.
".A kid don't need an agent anymore, in reality."
lbit]dt!Jf) tiRfiidllo:)
Richardson said. "He can be his own agent. He can
have his momma be his agent. They've got a cap.
The money is already spelled out."
Whatever becomes of the college game, coaches
hope the success stories don't obscure the memory of
those who left school and fallal lo make it in the pros.
Owners make proposal
NEW YORK (AP) — Baseball owners on
Wednesday made their first bargaining proposal to
players since the end of the strike. While the union
didn't perceive it as a breakthrough, il wasn't met
with hostility.
"We'll look at it. study it and make a report lo our
players." said Eugene Orza. the union's No 2 official.
Randy Levine. the owners' new negotiator, pre-
sented the plan in a thick binder during a I 1/2-
hour meeting at the union's ollice. It was the first
formal bargaining session since March >0. the night
befon: a federal judge issued an injunction that led
players lo end their strike after 2>2 days And it
was the owners' first proposal since March 27.
"It was a very professional, very cordial meet-
ing," Levine said.
Neither side would elaborate on the plan, but a
person familiar with the proposal confirmc-d it was
a taxation plan, a format on which the sides traded
offers in February and March.
The union regarded the plan as a small step for-
ward, one source .said. After owners provide a
computer disk detailing how the plan would work,
the sides will schedule a technical meeting some-
time next week. The union's executive board meets
in Florida the week of Nov. 24 and probably will
respond to owners the following week.
"It's very good that the process has resumed."
Levine said.
A source familiar with the owners thinking but
with no knowledge of the exact proposal said the
teams had been considering having the tax levels
rise or fall depending on revenue, a suggestion the
union had made.
In addition, owners had talked about making
changes salary arbitration and to the limitations on
maximum salary cuts. Unlike last year, when talks
look place following the cancellation of the World
Series, bargaining this fall is much more low-key.
Talks last year were conducted with the owners"
repeatedly threatening to implement a salary cap.
Larkin named NL MVP,
beats Bichette, Maddux
By Ben Walker
Associated Press
NEW YORK - Barry Larkin
was the surprise choice as NL
Most Valuable Player on
Wednesday, beating out Dante
Bichette and Greg Maddux to
become the first shortstop to win
the award in 55 years.
Maddux, who won his fourth
straight Cy ^oung Award this
week, and Bichette, who led the
league in home runs and RBIs. were
considered the leading candidates.
But rather than pitching or
power, voters clearly looked at the
all-around contributions Larkin
made on and off the field lo the
NL Central champion Cincinnati
Reds, and made him a convincing
choice. Larkin hit .519 with 66
RBIs and 5 1 steals, is likely to win
his second straight Gold Glove
next week and was the team's
clubhouse leader.
He was also the Reds' best play-
er in the postseason, although thai
performance is not considered in
the selection, larkin, who was on
a cruise in Mexico when the award
was announced, received 1 1 first-
place voles and finished with 281
points. Bichette, whose 40 homers
and 128 RBIs led Colorado lo a
wild-card playoff spot, got six first-
place votes and had 251 points.
Maddux, 14-2 with a I 65 ERA
for the World Series champion
Atlanta Braves, got seven first-
place votes and 249 points. He is
the first pitcher to finish as high as
third in the NL M\'P voting since
Los Angeles reliever Mike
Marshall in 1974.
"If you look at sheer numbers.
there are guys who have more
homers and RBIs." Reds second
baseman Bret Boone said. "But it's
nice to see people look at most
valuable.' He was really great on
our team. He was our leader."
Dodgers catcher Mike Piazza
was fourth, getting three first-
place voles and 214 points. The
top four finishers were named on
every ballot by members ol the
Baseball Writers Association of
America. Ron Gam, Larkin's
teammate, received the only
other first -place vote.
Larkin is the first NL shortstop
to win the award since Maury Wills
in l%2. the season he stole a then-
record 102 bases. He is the sixth
shortstop to win the honor, joining
Ernie Banks (1958-591. Dick Groat
( I960) and Marly Marion (1944).
Larkin is the first Reds player lo
be named MVP since George
Foster in 1977 and 1 1th overall,
loe Morgan. Pete Rose and K'hnny
Bench also won in the 1970s
Along with leading the league in
homers and RBIs. Bichette was
third in batting at .540. Some vot-
ers, however, may have discounted
his big numbers because he played
in hitler-friendly Coors Field.
Maddux, whose winning per-
centage was the best in history for
starters with at least 20 decisions,
had the highest finish for a start-
ing pitcher since Tom Seaver was
runner-up in 1969. The last pitch-
er to win the NL M\P was Bob
Gibson in 1968 when he had a
1.12 ERA, and some voters have
been reluctant to give the award to
a pitcher.

GaTech, Okla., win in NIT action
Georgia Tech 87, Manhattan 67
ATLA.NTA (AP) — Matt Harpring scored 24
point!) and Siephon Marbury added 16 wtiile play-
ing despite having tonsilitis as Georgia Tech beat
Manhattan 87-67 in the opening round of the
Preseason NIT Wednesday night.
The Yellow lackets will meet the winner of the
lackson State-Oklahoma game in a second-round
game in the Georgia Dome Friday night.
Tech surged to a 12-point lead late in the first
tialf, saw the laspers rally to cut the lead to 48-45
early in the second half on a dunk by Heshimu
Evans, then began steadily pulling away after that.
Manhattan had 27 turnovers in the season open-
er for both teams. Georgia Tech had 16.
Harpring .scored 1 7 of his points while leading
Tech to a 46-56 halflime lead.
Marbury. getting frequent breaks because of tiis
illness that had him listed as doubtful right up to
game time, also had 4 rebounds. 5 assists and 4
steals in his college debut. The Brooklyn. N.Y..
native was one of the nation's top recruits last year.
Evans and lason Hoover led the laspers with 15
points each and lustin Phoenix added 1 I.Drew Barry
added 13 and 1 1 avsists for the lackets. one of those
an alley oop pass to Marbury on a dunk tliat gave tt»c
lacketsa 61-51 lead with ll:i4toplay.
Tech led by more than 10 points for the final
8:24 when Barry hit a 5-pointer from the left cor-
ner, followed a half-minute later by Marbury's dri-
ving layup for a 70-56 advantage. Techs biggest
lead came with 1:57 krft. 85-61. when Barry con-
verted a steal into a back-over-the-head dunk.
OklahooM 99. lackson Si. 68
NORMAN. Okla (API - Ryan Minor and Ernie
Abercrombie scored 18 points apiece Wednesday
night, helping lead Oklahoma past lackson State 99-
68 in the first round of the Preseason NIT.
The Sooners (2J-9 last year) will play their sec-
ond-round game Friday against Georgia Tech,
which beat Manhattan 87-67,
Oklahoma controlled the offensive backboard
and took advantage of poor flrst-half shooting by
lackson State. The Tigeri; (12-19) only made 9 of
its 42 shots in falling behind by 25 at halftime.
Minor, named to the Associated Press preseason
All-America team Tuesday, was not f>articularly
sharp. The Big Eight's player of the year last season
hit just six of his 15 shots and fouled out with 5:55
left.
At)ercrombie had nine rebounds. He and lason
Yanish, who had a career-high 17 points and 10
rebounds, helped the Sooners control the Tigers
inside from the start.
lackson State was out-rebounded 56-50 and fin-
ished the night shooting 54 percent. Titue Hooten
scored 27 for the Tigers, members of the
Southwestern Athletic Conference.
After shooting so poorly in the first half, the
Tigers made seven of their first eight shots in the
second half to get within 58-45. But then Dion
Barnes scored eight points during a 14-2 run. The
Sooners used a 17-5 run to move out to a 52-14
lead midway through the first half. Yanish came off
the bench lo score six during that lime and Minor
added four.
lackson State only made thnx- field goals in the
final 7 1/2 minutes, all of them 5-pointers. The last
of the three was by Trent Pulliam with 5:42 to
play. That made the score 40-25. and Oklahoma
closed out the half with 10 straight points, eight
from Abererombie.
Utah 102. Boston 90
BOSTON (AP) — Karl Malone score-d 54 points,
including 1 1 in a row for the lazz on Wednesday
night, to give Utah a 102-90 victory over the
Boston Celtics.
Celtics rookie Eric Williams, who finished with
17 points off the bench, scored 15 consecutive
points for Boston to cut a seven-point deficit to 81-
78 with 7:47 to play.
But that's when Malone, who has led Utah in
scoring sevtn of eight games, checked back in. The
lazz forward matched every move by the Celtics'
first-round pick and then some, adding eight
rebounds to lead Utah lo its eighth consecutive vic-
tory over Boston. |eff Hornacek scored 17 for the
lazz. Eric Moniross had 14 points and 14 rebounds
and Dinu Radja scored I 5 with 1 0 rebounds for

Then Malone came back in.
Williams tried lo sh(.>ot il around Malone and
wound up on the floor. Meanwhile, Malone was fin-
ishing a fast break to extend the lazz lead to five.
Next time down, Williams drove by Malone lo
make il 85-80. At the other end, Williams fouled
Malone lo give Utah a three-point play. Back under
the Celtics basket. Williams hit two tree throws to
keep it at four, then grabbed a rebound at other
end.
yiodell gets a stadium^ needs league approval
By Todd Spongier
Associated Press
ANNAPOLIS. Md. - Art Modell
got his deal Wednesday — a 50year,
rent-free lease to a $200 million sta-
dium the state will build next to
Camden Yards. Now the Cleveland
Browns owner needs league approval.
The Board of Public Works unani-
mously approved the agreement to
bring the Browns to Baltimore,
despite complaints the team has been
promised too much and money to
build the stadium is lacking. Modell
last week announced he will move
the team after this season. Cleveland
has filed a lawsuit to block the move
and has asked the NFL to withhold
its approval.
Gov. Parris Glendening is chair-
inan of the three-member state over-
*Ifht board, whose other members
are Comptroller Louis Goldstein and
Treasurer Lucille Maurcr.
Some legislators have balked at the
deal, which promises Modell all the
proceeds from parking and conces-
sions at the stadium, as well as $75
million from the sale of permanent
seal licenses. In Charlotte, N.C., the
licenses, which give the holder the
right to buy a season ticket, were
used to finance that city's stadium. In
Baltimore, the Browns can use the
money to pay moving expenses and
build a training facility.
A Browns-connected corporation,
to be named BSC, will also collect
more than half the proceeds from any
non-football event staged at the stadi-
um.
It is a somewhat different deal
from the one with Baltimore Orioles
owner Peter Angelos, who pays $5.5
million in rent and allows the state to
pay for maintenance and operation of
Oriole Park at Camden Yards. In the
football deal, the Browns pay no rent
but must reimburse the stale for
maintenance and operation costs.
Also, Angelos splits parking and
concession revenues with the stadium
authority. The slate would get all of
the profits from non-baseball events,
but. according lo stadium authority
director Bruce Hoffman, "you can't
have any" because of the length of
the baseball season.
"The whole thing is a sweetheart
deal." said Sen. Chris Van Hollen, (D-
Montgomery). "This is a had deal for
the Maryland taxpayers. We got caught
in a bidding war for an NFL team."
Another legislator. Delegate Robert
Flanagan, (R-Howard), said it looks
as though "they're breaking the bank
on this one." Glendening disagreed,
saying the presence of an NFL team in
Baltimore will mean some 1.400 new
jobs and add $125 million a year lo
the stale economy, including $17 mil-
lion in new lax revenue.
"These arc complicated issues."
Glendening said. "We're going to
receive some political criticism, par-
ticularly some parti-san political criti
cism."
A portion of instant-ticket lottery
proceeds would be used to pay for
the bonds to fund the new 70.000-
seat football stadium, which should
open in time for the 1998 season.
Instant lottery games already are
being used lo pay for Camden Yards,
which opened in 1992.
According lo legislative analysts,
instant lottery games have produced
about $20 million a year — a far cry
from the $55 million needed lo pay
for both stadiums.
Lawmakers say the special lottery
games needed to fund the stadiums
would pull money away from other k)t-
tery games that fund such items as
school construction and social service's.
"There is no more money from the
lottery," said Flanagan, who sits on
the House Appropriations Committee.
"We have peaked out on the lottery."
Hoffman said even though the lot-
tery's instant games earmarked for the
Maryland Stadium Authority haven't
done better than $26 million in any
one year, they could t>e expanded and
improved to bring in more nx)ney
The go'vtrnir niaintain<id*no lax-
payer is being forced lo fund the sta-
dium construction.
"Don't buy a lottety ticket, you
don't pay for this stadium.'

Showalter will manage
expansion Diamondbacks
By AAel Reisner
Auociated Preu
PHOENIX - Buck Showahcr,
a lifelong Yankee before splitting
with George Steinbrenner. signed
a $7 million, .seven-year contract
Wednesday to manage the Arizona
Diamondbacks, a job that will
keep him on the sidelines until
IWS. .Showalter. 59. had rejected
Sleinbrenner's $1.05 million, two-
year offer to stay with the Yankees
because the owner wanted partial
control of the coaching staff.
"A lot has been said regarding
the reason why we decided to
close early in lertns of naming our
manager." said lerry Colangelo.
the Diamondbacks managing gen-
eral partner. "Simply put. when
the best manager in baseball is
available, you go for it regardless
of what timetable you have."
Diamondbacks general manager
K'c Garagiola |r. said Showalter
and the team were a perfect fit
and listed the qualities he was
seeking:
"Someone who has significant
experience as a player or manager,
a good teacher, good motivator,
patient, someone who buys into
our philosophy, someone who can
pick up a player's spirits when
they're down."
Showalter, initially interested in
vacancies at Detroit and Oakland,
said he was swayed by the commit-
ment shown when Colangelo called
him at 12:02 a.m. on Nov. I, two
minutes after his Yankees contract
expired. He got clearance to hire
any of the coaches on his staff in
New York and said at least some of
them would a-locate to Phoenix.
"That's something that we'll
delve into on a more definitive
nature fairly quickly," Showalter
said.
His parting with Steinbrenner
was due lo the owner's insistence
that he fire batting coach Rick
Down.
Showalter said he hadn't yet
decided how much he would do
with the Diamondbacks' two
rookie teams, which begin play in
Phoenix and Lethbridge, Alberta,
after the |une 1996 amateur draft.
Rather than stay on the F^cld with
either short-season club,
Showalter may shuttle between
the two. giving help and advice to
the managers, Diamondbacks
president Rich IXizer said.
"I would imagine that there's a
very good chance he'll turn up in
Lethbridge at least once next
year." said rVzer. Mi. "He might
stay five days or a week, or he
might go back twice, but he's
probably not going lo stay the sea
son."
[\>zer said Shciwalter will have
every chance to build on his repu
tation as a workaholic
"His duties haven't been delin-
eated, but there is a whole host of
six. seven, eight, nine items that
we think he'll be Involved in."
IXtzer said. "From helpmg us pre
pare for the expansion draft as tar
as scouting players and helping us
set it up. to helping write the play
er development manual.
"He's also going lo be involved
in the community, charity things
and speaking appearances. We'll
probably have him help »v>me in
marketing."
IX>zer said Showalter also will
have lo familiarize himself with
NL personnel, both for the
November 1987 expansion draft
and because Colangelo is lobbying
other owners lo have the
Diamondbacks assigned to the Nl.
West
Showalter played seven seasons
in the Yankees organization, then
had a 560-207 rtvord in five sea-
sons in the minors before
Steinbrenner made him manager
of New York before the 1992 sea-
son. Showalter led the Yankees to
a 312-269 record in four seasons,
winning the 1994 AL Manager of
the Year award. This year, he led
them into the postseason for the
flrst time since 1981.

fired a shot past goaltender Craig
Lindsay.
Norton was glad to finally reach
that first milestone.
"I had been saying my God. when's
it going to come." he said. "But once
you get one ..."
While Norton has made improve-
ment. Mallen said therc is still room
for even greater things from him.
"He's made a big step up. but he
still has a lot of potential to go,"
Mallen said. "Bui within the next two
years, he should be looking lo
improve those skills so that they can
be utilized on a night-in. night-out
basis.
"Brad absolutely has a future in
hockey. The NHL likes big defense-
men. A lot of effort and a lot of dili-
gence can lead to success down the
road."
continued from poge 20
recruited her heavily.
"I knew she was talented when I
was recruiting her." LaFreniere said.
"I knew that she would be an excel-
lent college runner, and I really want-
ed her as part of my program."
Chi-iosing a college was a difficult
task for (X<naghue. who was strongly
considering Boston University. But
when the time came, she cited the
friendly, comfortable team feeling at
UMass when she decided to enroll in
the fall of N'*4.
It was a tough choice for me,
because they are both good schools."
she said. "At UMass the team was so
supportive. <o close, and I really liked
that. I fell like I would fit in right
away. M> schedule also worked out a
lot better at UMass. At BU. I would
have had to run on mv own a lot.
bivause my classes would have been
al the same lime as practice. I didn't
run into that problem at UMass."
Donaghue. a Fine Arts major,
came into her first season of colle-
giate running with fresh legs and a
lough, competitor's spirit. She did
well, taking eighth place at both the
New Fngland Championships and the
Atlantic 10s.
"Rebecca's high school coach did an
excellent job of kc-eping her legs fresh,
and I am thankful for that." LaFreniere
said. "He knew that her place to shine
would be in college. She had a very
succc-sslul freshman season."
Alter a season of cross country.
rXjnaghue moved on lo indoor track.
Knowing the indoor season is espc-
Norton expects inore from himself
as well.
"I think I can get a lot better." said
the tenth round draft choice of the
Edmonton Oilers. "I watch tapes of
last year and I look at myself and say
God. What was I doing'.'' I'm hard
on myself, so if I can see improve-
ment, then I can keep going.'
And while all the progress has
been made, the opponents still
remember the Norton of old. The
temptation for taking f)enalties is still
there.
Against Merrimack and Lowell
(the team that broke Norton's jaw
last season), players were hacking
and slashing al the big defenseman in
hopes of goading him into retaliation.
But Norton isn't biting. He'd rather
stay on the ice. And instead of just
being the biggest body on the ice,
Norton has become a big part of the
UMass defense.
cially rough on the body, Donaghue
often ran only twice a week in order
to keep herself ready fc>r the outdoor
track season During the outdoor sea-
son. LaFreniere didn't increase the
quantity of Donaghue's training
mileage, but rather the quality.
Donaghue was also introduced to a
weight-training program, which she
continued over the summer hiatus.
"Rebecca came back to school much
stronger, and much leaner than she
was when she left lor the summer."
assistant track coach |im Giroux said
When the 1W5 seastm began, there
were several questions surrounding
the cross country program. luiFrenic*re
had looked at her roster for the
upcoming season in August, and she
had visions of postseason glory in her
head. But by September, the program
had lost Melissa Langevin lo a medical
redshirl. The torch was passed to
Donaghue to lead the team.
And lead the team she did. cross-
ing the line as the first Massachusetts
runner in every meet this season.
Never finishing any lower than third
in the opening meets of the season.
Donaghue look 12th at the Paul
Short Invitational and second al the
New Fngland Championships.
"1 prepared myself all summer, lift-
ing and training." Donaghue said. "It
built up my confidence to run so
strong at the beginning of the season.
It felt really good lo be out in front.
but I try to concentrate on the race in
front of me."
Donaghue continued her incredible
performance sta-ak at the Atlantic lU
Championships, taking second place
overall Clocking an impressive time of
17:58 tor the hilly course. Donaghue
was pleaM.'d with her periomiance.
"I think I probably could have
given a little more, but overall 1 was
pleased." Donaghue said "That was a
great meet, nol just for me. but for
the whole team.
"Everyone ran so well, it was a
total learn effc)ri . When we won
A-lO's. it was Ihe greatest feeling. It
was incredible "
With Ikt A- to finish and a place on
the .Ml- Atlantic 10 team >ecurely under
her hell, Donaghue set her sights on the
tC'^C" Championships. The meet ai
Franklin Park was cs-pcvially important
because it was whal Donaghue had
worked fur all season — a shot at quali-
fying lor the NCAA Championships.
"1 knex» I had a shot, a very realis-
tic shot, at qualifying,' Donaghue
said. "There were some incredible
runners there and 1 just tried to run a
strong race. I figured that if I could
stay with Ihe lop group. 1 would have
enough kick left at the end of the
race."
And in the end. [>onaghue did have
enough, propelling herself lo eleventh
place overall. That place, and her per-
sonal record time of 17:28, was
enough to put Donaghue into the
bracket of qualifiers who will head to
Ames. Iowa for Monday's national
meet.
Although Donaghue expressed
some surprise about her finish.
LaFreniere knew that her star was
capable of such a performance.
"I was really happy, but still kind
of surprised." Donaghue said. "I'm
overwhelmed. It is such a great feel-
ing, such an honor."
"I knew that she had that kind of
performance in her." LaFreniere said.
"She is running with top caliber col-
lege runners right now and I think
she is comfortable with that. I think
Rebecca still has her best race in her
and we should see her peak in Iowa."
Donaghue. who is the first UMass
woman to ever qualify for the
NCAA's, will leave on Saturday for
Iowa. From there she will prepare for
Monday's meet.
"There is a fire in her eyes when
that gun goes off." LaFreniere said.
"Physically, she is ready to compete
at the national level, and I think she's
mentally ready too."
There arc many reasons Rebecca
Donaghue is so successful. Her love for
the sport that she once despised has
carried her to glory. She has turned the
saying "no pain, no gain" into her per-
sonal credo, working tirelessly and dili-
gently lo achieve rrwre with each race.
The young runner. who
Massachusetts men's cross country
and track & field coach Ken O'Brien
has nicknamed "the baby-face assas-
sin." will continue her attack on rivals
and record books well into the future.
"She takes no prisoners,"
LaFreniere said.
When asked to describe her star in
a few simple words, LaFreniere
didn't have to think very long before
she came up with an answer.
"Dedication. Commitment. Rebcvca
is one of the hardest- working athletes
1 have ever had." LaFreniere said.
"Not only is she diligent, but she's also
extremely coachable. There aren't very
many kids like that. She's smart about
her running. She knows she has to
have a day for recovery. Rebecca loves
competing, she lives this sport. And
that makes all the difference, bcvausc
you can't just go through the motions
in this sport."
"You have lo like to train at this
level and Rebecca docs." Giroux
added. "In high school ywu competq so
much more often, you can afford to not
like the training schedule. But in col-
lege, it's a whole diffcTcnt ball game."
"Rebecca is as solid as a rock,'
LaFreniere said. "She has an athlete
and a half, something many people
don't realize because cross country is
not a big headliner. And what I think
is even more impressive than her
dedication to her sport, is the fact
that she has a heart of gold.
Nowadays, it's really unusual when a
star athlete is as modest and unas-
suming as Rebecca. In a day and age
when we're so used to stars having
big heads and huge egos, she's a
refreshing change."
When Donaghue loes the line in
Iowa on Monday morning, she still
won't cut an imposing figure. But
there is no question that among
today's athletes. Rebecca Donaghue
stands tall.

Last scasoti. ihc Kings started lo show
signs o( promise when ihey fell one game
shon ol the final Western Conference play-
off berth. •
This year, off-season improvements have
led to speculation thai the Kings could
finally achieve their goal — the playoffs. In
drafting Corliss Williamson (currently on
IR) and Tyus Edney. Sacramento acidcd
two players who can make big contribu-
tions. After a strong pre-season and a 5-1
slan. the Kings feel Ihey are on their way.
Edney has been a iR-mendous addition lo
the team. His quickness, toughness and poise
combined with a surprising ability to create
his own shols has earned him prime-lime
minutes.
Besides the fact that their victories have
come against weaker teams, the Kings are
playing good basketball and are definitely
headed in the right direction.
Spanning the "Globe"
• The Orlando Magic have extended the
contact of head coach. Brian Hill. After
entering last season with many critics, he
led a young Magic team to the NBA finals.
The contract was said to be a multi-year
extension, however no monetary terms were
disclosed.
• Check out Shawn Bradley, the
"stick-figured Mormon" leading the league
in rebounding. Who said this guy couldn't

• Anyone see the Bullets Gheorge
Murcsan's 'il-point. I 5-rebound explosion
last week?
• Mow bad are the Nets? They recently
beat a Sacramento team that only dressed
eight players — by two.
• The NBA is looking at expansion possi-
bilities once again. Possible sites include
Pittsburgh and Mexico City.
• For all fellow users of the internet, take
a look at http;//www.nba.coni, the NBA's

well, and the level of intensity never fades.
He will observe whatever tapes he can gel

that will better his team. He relays it to his
players in a way that they can learn and slay

"He doesn't overload us with informa ion.
He just tells us what we need to know,'
LeDuc said. "He is very focusc-d in thinking
about that game only. It's just one game at a
time and he has been intense for every game
this year. That is definitely helpful for the
whole team."
"He is a great tactical coach He makes
the players he has better by putting them in
the right positions. It's incredible how his
mind works." Lynch said. "He tells us exact-
ly what we need to know. He shows us
exactly how the other team's going to play
and the best way to play the best strategy*
"It's easy to bring that enthusiasm to the
A- 10 Championships and the NCAAs, but
the good coaches inject that enthusiasm Into
the tough part of the season. It works well
for him." Chamides said ".About thrce-quar-

Rudy attributes that to his 20-plus years
of coaching experience
"I used to try to teach a lot of things and
now I try to teach a few things really well."
said Rudy. "I try to give the game back k>
the players. '
Rudy will also try and use a sense of
humor to lighten the pressure which can
iTKiunt on his players through school and the
game itself.
"As a coach I try and create an environ-
ment and do the things necessary to teach
these kids so they can be educated by the
game," said Rudy. "By me a little and by life
a lot. When they get through It. they have a
great thing — the experience in soccer and a
good education. I enjoyed college and I am
still enjoying college.
"I like to laugh and I like to have fun.
Sometimes the pressure of the game can be a
lot and parents can put pressure on loo, so I
try and keep them relaxed."
He put this practice to use last Saturday in
the NCAA first round game against
Hartford.
"When he sees that we're stressed, like
after Hartford lied up the game, he'll give a

V'ball ends regular season tonight
By Stewn Grant
Collegian Staff
It is safe to say that the Massachusetts volleyball
team is on a roll.
Why? The .Minulewomen have won 12 of their last
I 5 matches, losing u mere five games in the prm.ess.
More importantly. 10 of those wins were over confer-
ence opponents, enabling the Minutewomen to btwst
their Atlantic 10 record to 14-5. 23-IOoverall.
So. what does all this mean'.' An appearance in the
postseason tournament to be held at UMass Nov.
24-25. no less, fulfilling the main goal of the presea-
son, the Minutewomen have clinched a lop four finish
in the A- 10 (third place, to be exact I.
Only one match rcinuins in the regular season and it
is against Rhixle Island, the team which UMass could
possibly face in the first round of the playoffs.
Currently. Rhode Mand is in second place with an
impressive 17 2 A-IO record. 25-5 o\erall. The two
team>> will square off tonight at 7 p m.. at URL The
Rams beat the Minutewomen the first time around
(3 I ) at Curn Hicks Cage on Oct. 3.
A win over the Rams would accomplish two things.
First, it would send a message to Rhode Island, who is
coached by Bob Schneck. Combined with the home-
court advantage in the postseason, a win tonight could
give UMass a psychological edge if these teams do in
fact meet in the playoffs.
"I feel that Rhode Island is the toughest team in the
conference." said UMass' Giza Rivera, the squad's
strongest offensive weapon. "But they are also a beat-
able team. It's going to take a strong willingness to win.
to be successful. We're going to have to leave our skin
on the coun. But if we have the right enthusiasm and
mental toughness, we'll be OK."
Despite missing a chunk of the season to injury,
Rivera leads the Minutewomen in kills with 414. The
junior outside hitter also has a team high 4.929
kills-per game average, along with a .289 hitting per-
centage. Also, Rivera is second only to junior Lesley
Nolan in digs per-game with a 3. 167 mark.

Rudy leaves lasting impression
By Justin C. Smith
Collegian Staff
As his beloved women's soccer team streamed
onto Richard F. Carber field with 1 .4 seconds
left in overtime, you could find coach |ini Rudy
lying Hat on his back, in the rain and mud that
had turned the grass into a swamp-like surface.
His smile lit up the stadium, as he looked into
the roaring, adoring UMass crowd That lasting
image of him could best exhibit his passion for
the game of sciccer.
"■The game is such a heavyweight. It has got a
hook in me and a hiK)k in almost everyone that
has tried to play the sp(.)rt." Rudy said. "It's got
so much to offer I am so much richer by the sck-
ccr experience with my relationships and people
I met through soccer."
Rudy has been the Massachusetts women's
siKcer coach since 1 988. after coaching b».)th the
men's and women's teams at Central Florida. He
is also part of the V S. Soccer Federation
National coaching staff and has worked with
coaches all over the world.
Rudv ha* taken the knowledge that he has
acquired and addc'd his emotion into the sptirt he
love- dearly. It has become contagious to every-
one who he comes in contact with.
"He's very much an ambassador i>f the game.
IcK'ally around here at UMass and when we made
the trip to Central Florida Ithis year|." first-year
assistant Chns Chamides said. "He respects the
game mi mui.h People who are attracted to soc-
cer appreciate that in him and follow him know-
ing he has that respect for the game."
The women's siKcer following here at UMass
includes the players he plavs with whenever the
chance presents itself, involving liKal men who
share the same love of the game he has. These
same men can often be found in the stands behiiKl
the UMass bench singing for extended periods of
time, cheering on their friend's team. It is some-
thing that helps spur on the Minutewomen.
"The Old Boys, the soccer team that he plays
with in the summer, after practice, games or
whatever." Rachel LeDuc said. "They're great. It
just lifts up the whole team, and it helps us out
when they come out to support our team and
coach. They contribute to our success."
"The fans are a big part of our success." junior
Frin Lynch says of the Old Boys' "When they
get singing it pumps us and him up. and raises
our level of play."
What is so remarkable about the Rollins
College graduate, is that his passiiui for the game
is undying. Not only is Rudy a coach o( the

Currently, with nearly two weeks of
the season gone by. games are still
being handled my replacement offi-
cials.
Despite the lockout, a crew of reg-
ular referees were scheduled to work
last night's game between the
Houston Rockets and the expansion
Toronto Raptors. Last week, the
Ontario Labor Relations Board
banned the NBA from using replace-
ment referees.
After a weekend of fights and
fouls, players and coaches have
stepped up their claim that the league
must bring back the regular officials.
Games have been handled by
two-man crews of CBA and college
referees, many whom arc having trou-
ble handling NBA players.
Last Friday. Indiana Pacers coach
Larry Brown was finc-d $1 1 .000 and
suspended for one game after an out-
burst against the Knicks. The next
day the NBA suspended 16 players
after a Pacers-Kings brawl.
There is one thing that both sides
have agreed upon. Commissioner
David Stern must join the negotia-
tions. Mike Mathis. a regular NBA
official, has been negotiating for the

New and improved Brad Norton
By Matt Voutour
Collegian StoH
Fiarly in last Saturday night's win
over UMass-Lowell. |udd Smith drew
a two minute penalty for holding. The
Massachusetts four man unit filed
onto the ice to kill the penalty |on
lacques. followed by Rob Bonneau,
Tom O'Connor and Brad Nortcin.
Brail \orlori?
The same Brad Norton who was fre-
quently the reason UMass was killing
penalties last year? The same Norton
who set a .school record for penalty
minutes in a season during 1 994-95?
Despite the jersey switch from No.

UMASS MfDIA BHATIONS
Sophomore Brad Norton has greatly improved his play since last season,
killing penalties instead of committing them.
Brad Norton. But to watch him play
this season, you'd never know it.
In UMass' impressive 4-1 start,
pleasant surprises are plentiful, but
perhaps the one player whose
improvement has stood out consider-
ably has been Norton.
"I think that Brad Norttm has made
a significant jump from the first year
tt) the second year." Massachusetts
coach loe Mallen said. "A lot of it has
to do with him being more focused.
It's made a difference."
A year ago. Norton looked lost.
Thrown right into the action as only a
freshman. Norton was frequently
spun around by opposing forwards
and he drew penalties trying to com
pensate for it.
This is not uncommon for big
freshmen in Hockey Fast, especially
defensemen. They come from high
school or junior hockey, where
they're one (3f the biggest players on
the ice. By sheer reach, they are
almost impossible to beat. The jump
up to the collegiate level, where
everybody is fast and everybody is
strong, serves as a rude awakening.
"He's always been such a big kid
on his team, that he had been able
to get away with a lot of things
because of his size." Mallen said.
"But now he's being forced to learn
the game."
Norton has begun that learning
process and it has translated into
strong eariy results. The penalty min-
utes are down, a stat that Norton and
Mallen arc both proud of.
"I don't think there is going to be
half as many penalties." said Norton,
who is proud of his new role as a
penalty killer. "I was usually the per-
son responsible for penalties, so I
didn't get to kill many last year. I
wasn't happy with all of the penalties
last year."
"He is trying to stay out of the
penalty box." Mallen said. "The more
he stays out of the penalty box, the
more he can play."
An extra year of maturity will
improve anybody, but the combina-
tion of increased experience and the
sumiTier Norton had, all helped con-
siderably.
The Acton native spent the summer
working out with his older brother
leff, a defenseman for the St. Louis
Blues. Along with the things the
younger Norton learned on the ice. he
picked up some other tips as well.
"leff provides a role model for him
on and oft the ice." Mallen said. "He
is a very hardworking, professional
athlete. He takes very good care of
himself. That's a real good lead for
Brad. I hope (hat Brad sees that the
fruits of Jeff's labor really paid off big
lo! him."
The summer workout and new-
found discipline have paid obvious
dividends. His penalty minutes are
down and his production is definitely
up. In addition to his enhanced
defensive skills. Mallen is IcKiking to
employ Norton's big shot as more a
part of the offense as well.
"Brad is capable of scoring goals.

Donaghue standing tall
as she heads to Nationals
By Casey Kane
Collegian Staff
When Rebecca Donaghue steps
up to the start at cross country
mee(s. she hardly cuts an impos-
ing figure. The shy, unassuming
sophomore stands at a mere
5-foot-2, But it is her presence on
the course that gives her a
larger-than-life reputation.
When she was
young, Donaghue
would often chal-
lenge neighbor-
hood boys to
races. Almost
always, she would
win. While in
fourth grade.
Donaghue enteaxl
her first organi/x"d
race, a one mile
run. After a
less-than-pleasing
performance, she
decided to scrap
the idea of run-
ning distance, and
concentrate on sprints.
"I ran that first race, and even
though it was only a mile. I hated it."
IXinaghue said. "I told myself that I
wiaild never run distance again, and
I was only in fourth grade."
When she entered high school.
Donaghue intended on keeping
her fourth grade pledge, trying out
Rebecca Donaghue
for the soccer team. After she
didn't make it. she decided to give
running a second chance.
"I knew I wanted to run track,
but I wasn't sure about cross coun-
try," she said, "I always watched
the Olympics and I knew that I
wanted tt) be there someday."
At Nashoba Regional High
School, Donaghue cleared the
record bixiks, setting cross country
course records at
Nashoba, Groton
and Lunenburg
high schools.
Named to various
all-star teams
during her high
school career.
Donaghue was
awarded the Fve
Ingalls Memorial

While
Donaghue was competing in high

After caucus dispute,
student senators try
to patch differences
By Allison GNinolly
Collegian Sloff
The Student Government
Association (SCA) has cleared the air
a week after the body was divided
over the failure of a motion to pro-
pose a women's caucus on the senate
Speaker Dan Castellano clarified
that the motion was principally
rejected because of the technical pro-
ceidures that the proposal itself failed
to go through, not because the senate
refuses to support the empowerment
of women.
A motion lo fomi a women's cau-
cus of non-senators was proposed by
Sen. David Gafney at last week's ses-
sion. Gafney made the proposal on
behalf of his constituents, after he
was approached b> a group of
women who wanted to form a cau-
cus.
However, when presenting the
motion to the senate bcxlv. there was
no charter and Gafney t)nl\ knew the
name of one woman who wanted to
form the caucus, who happened to
represent the Fserywonian's Center.
Senators, especially female sena-
tors, said they felt the motion was tin)
vague lo be considered on the flixtr
at that time. They wanted to see a
concrete charier before they
endorsed the caucus blindly They
also wanted to make sure that the
caucus representc"d a cross -section of
the campus. ni>t just one organiza
tion.
Female senators were especially
disturbed bcxause they had not been
told of the caucus, which was sup-
posed to be repiesenting their con
cerns as well. There are 21 female
senators on the senate. They held a
meeting after the Wednesday's ses
sion in order to talk about the con
troversy. Many were called hypocrites
for voting against the women's cau-
cus.
"I'd be hard-pressed to find any
women who was anti- women's cau-
cus." Castellano said. "It was hard
for these woinen to vote down a
motion for women. "
Castellano said the issue of caucus-
es has been a "hot" one on this cam-
pus, coming to a head at last week's
minting.
"I don't want to debate caucuses
on the floor." Castellano said. "I
want thent lo get their charter togeth-
er first. It needs to be solid and
long-term "
Many senators chose to voice their
objections through The Collegian.
Others in favor of the caucus and
angry with the senate's rejection of
the motion chose to chalk up the
campus with anti-SGA slogans.
The issue of caucuses also draws
heat to the ALANA caucus, currently
the only formally recognized and vot-
ing caucus on the senate. ALANA is
allocated H percent of the total
elected senator seats each year. This
year there are 'i ALANA senators.
Castellano said these conservative
objections raise a lot of affirmative
action questions. Many opptised feel
this caucus gives people of color a
special privilege. Castellano said
this reflects nationwide discrimina-
tion.
"A lot of ALANA issues were mar-
ginalized so there was a need for bet-
ter representation." Castellano said.
Caucuses can hold voting seats, as
does ALANA. or may be ex-offficio.
meaning they cannot vc)te but may
speak on issues that influence voting
It was unclear whether the women's
caucus was proposed as a voting or
non-voting body.
Castellano also said the group of
women who wish to form the
women's caucus should be the ones
to work on the charter and bring it to
the senate floor.
"Men can work on it. but a group
of men cannot decide what"s best for
women's groups," Castellano said.
There are currently two more pro-
posals for caucuses from the disabled
students and GLBT communities that
are being worked on.
There was a motion on the agenda
Wednesday night which would enact
a committee to recommend proce-
dures for the recognition of a caucus.
Castellano said this motion is the first
step toward clearing discrepancies
stemming from last week's miscom-
munication.

Chabad House expansion to bring new kosher pizzeria
By Jacob W. Michaels
Collegian Staff
There are several thing* that bo
hand- in hand with being a college
student at the I'niversity of
Massachusetts. Going to Friday night
parties, having political rallies on the
Student Lnion steps, and. of course,
eating pi /./a
So, its not normally too big a deal
when a new pizza joint opens up in
the Amherst area.
However, the next pi/za place to
open will be a bit different from
many others, because •^ome toppings,
like peppcroni. wont be on the
menu. The reason for that is the
pizza will be kosher, cooked in
Chahad House's new kitchen.
The kitchen, and pizzeria, is part
of a larger expansion to the Chabad
House The additiim will add ^ MX)
feet to the current building located
near the Southwest residential area
"A year ago the idea came lo mind
that we should kK)k for more space."
said Chabad Rabbi Chaim Adclman.
"We looked into the p<jssibilities and
decided to do an addition to the pre-
sent building... As it stands right
now, we're going to have a bigger
synagogue and a mikvah. |a ritual
bath I . We also needed more space for
my 1 1 1 member) family because we
all slay here on shabbat, and holi
days... In the long run, should we
ever get some more people to work in
the area, we wouW have housing for
them.
"I also had in mind that we should
have some Kosher lake-tKit facilities,
because there is nothing in the area,"
Adelman continued "I thought pi/./.a
would be one of the most popular
types of fiK)d."
Adelman said he plans to hire a
professional cook for the restaurant.
"We'll probably start off conserva-
tively, and open only certain nights
to see the reaction... If it picks up,
we can give more stuff, such as
soup."
The expansion will also increase
the number of apartments at Chabad
which students can rent "We will
have three or four more rental apart
ments to live in a |ewish environ-
ment." Adelman said.
He also said the old synagogue in
the Chabad basement will be turned
into a "nuxlem library with comput-
ers and CD Rom."
Adelman said he hopes students
will come lo use the new library as a
source of material and information.
"So much can be accessed through
electronic media." he explained.
Construction will be finished in
three stages. The new apartments
should be finished around the end of
December The synagogue and mik-
\ah will be finished around February,
and the renovations to the older part
of the building, including the pizze-
ria, around March or April.

Funds used for multicultural groups
fty Mkhooi Elliott
CoHegion Staff
The Chancellor's Commission on Civility and Human
Relations Forum convened Wednesday aftenuKin at the
University of Massachusetts Campus Center - bringing
together various groups and programs on campus that
encourage multicultural, "bridge building" activities with
in the community.
These programs include the Foreign Language
Resource Center's Translation Center, the Fverywoman
Center's Women of Color priigram and the University
Advising Center, which was formerly known as CASI-
AC
A total of $10,000 awarded by the Chancellor was split
between "programs which bring together members of two
or more communities or constituencies in educational
activities and encourage mutual respect." according to the
Commission.
Most organizations receive between $2W lo $1900.
allowing the Commission lo serve a wide variety of inter-
ests.
The forum provides these programs the opportunity to
share ideas and enhance their abilities to function effec-
tively, benefiting all of those involved with diversity
issues.
The University Foreign Language Resource Center,
through the Commission, has been able to improve its
Translation Center, allowing international and bilingual
students access to multilingual word processing.
The Kverywomen Center discussed their newly expand-
ed Women of Color Program, which began in the fall of
1993.
"There needs to be more collaboration between women
in the ALANA community," said a representative of the
center.

UMass awards environment scholar
By EIm Allen
Collegion Correspondent
Raymond S. Bradley, head of the
University's geology and geography
department, discussed "Climatic
Changes: Present. Past, and Future."
The University of Massachusetts
Annual Distinguished Faculty Series
sponsored the lecture Wednesday
evening.
At the end of his lecture. Bradley
was presented with the Chancellor's
Medal for Distinguished Service at
the University of
Massachusetts Amherst. Bradley
received this award, the highest
honor given to a faculty member, for
the outstanding contributions he has
made, not only to the University, but
globally as well
Bradley analyzed the "natural
archives" that he and other scientists
use to guide themselves through the
process of charting climate changes
These archives include historical doc-
uments, observations of variations in
tree growth rings, and research of ice
cores in Arctic regions.
The lecturer is an internationally
recognized climatology expert who
came to UMass in 1973. Bradley
graduated from the University, of
Southampton in Fngland. and then
went on to earn a degree from the
Institute of Arctic and Alpine
Research at the University of
Colorado.
He has served on the National
Academy of Sciences Advisory
Committee. the National
Oceanographic and Atmospheric
Administration, the American and
International Ouarlenary, and for the
past seven years he has served as sec-
retary for the Paleoclimate
Committee, He was a delegate for the
Bi lateral Russian Agreement on the
environment, and he served on the
executive committee for the interna-
tional geosphere and biosphere.
In his lecture. Bradley concentrat-
ed on the importance of past climate
changes in determining future cli-
mates.
"By looking into the past, we are
able to gauge the potential magnitude
of future changes and tell whether
they will be trivial or serious," he
said "It l<x)ks like they will be quite
serious.
Bradley, who has served on several
national and international commis-
sions relating lo climate and the envi-
ronment, addressed whether global
warming is actually occurring in the
manner that people have been led to
believe.
According to Bradley, tempera-
tures have risen approximately half a
degree Celsius in the past century.
Bradley attributed this increase in
temperatures, in part, to increased
levels of carbon dioxide in the air,
which is directly proportional to pop-
ulation increase.
Bradley also said he believes that
we are on the upswing of a "mini-ice
age" that occurred in the 1 7th centu-
ry. By kKjking at past weather pat-
terns, he theorized that over the next
10 to 15.000 years the earth will
push towards warmer conditions, fol-
lowed by an increase in glacialion.
Another cause of global warming
that Bradley discus.sed was the plan-
et's orbit. Changes in the orbit have
played a major role in climate

In September, the program spon-
sored "Voices Within." a series of
lecture which included ludiih Le
Blance. a American Indian from the
Caddo tribe in Oklahoma and a
national organizer for the Communist
Party.
The lectures also iiKluded faculty,
students and activists from through-
out the Pioneer Vallc*y, focusing on
issues which affect women of color.
The University Advising Center,
formerly CASIAC. used Commission
funding to produce a film for new
students which outlines where they
should seek academic advising and
assistance upon arriving at UMass.
"We're always looking for new
ways to provide for our students,"
said a center representative.
More informational films are in the
works, according to the center — one
aimed at parents of students and how
they can stay involvi*d with their chil-
dren's college education.
The Center is, in addition, sponsor-
ing several majors fairs, which bring
together the University's sometimes
overwhelming educational resources
uiKier one roof for curious students.
The student-run group Race
Talks laid out their plans for the
semester. The group, which spon-
sors a series of five lectures through-
out the fall, assembled a panel of
students and faculty to discuss
issues such as the Million Man
March, affirmative action, and
women in the media
Their next forum, on Nov. 20. cnti
tied "Environmental Racism," will
consist of a panel of UMass proles
sors discussing the disproportionate
amount uf p>.)llution found in minori-
ty neighborhoods.
The Interdepartmental Program in
Film Studies will continue to explore
diversity through film with
Commission support.
Last spring, the program spon
sored their first annual Multicultural
Film Festival, showing movies from
around the globe.
Many of the movies portrayed the
lives of indigenous people, such as
those in the Amazon River Basin.
"The focus in the mainstream
media does not represent" most
ALANA students, said a program
representative, necessitating a festival
such a this one.
The Department of Education con-
tinues to explore multiculturalism in
the classroom via Commission
grants.
Education 210. Social Diversity in
Education, seeks to bring to harsh
realities of racial and ethnic confiict
into a academic setting, where
ALANA students can find a means
for support with each other and con
struct positive relationships with lei
low classmates of European dissent.
"We arc learning a great deal
about the way we have to adept our
teaching," to serve all UMass stu
dents, said a department representa-
tive.

Pom protestors inhibit freedoms
Peter Orvetti
They wen; out again last Friday, with thai staid old
prude Calvin Coolidge looking down on them
from the bridge that bears his name, for another
meaningless exercise in democracy. Across from the
Adults Only \'ideo Store, five college students lined up.
waved at cars, held up the usual placards with the pre-
dictable one-liners, anid then went home. A few of them
prv)bably caught colds; thai was the only difference inade.
Rve or six years ago, in a column of mine dealing with
the then-controversial censoring of the 2 Live Crew in
Broward County. Fla.. I published a
ihrowaway bit of polemic, to the
effect that censorship is an attempt to
draw a legal line between
Michelangelo. Mapplethorpe and
Marilyn Chambers. While I'm sure
most of last Friday's demonstrators
are all for bullwhips up the butt, or
Christ on the cross and submerged in
urine. Lady Marilyn and Ron leremy
don't live up to their self-declared
'feminist* standard.
Last time I checked, the feminist
movement was about the right of
women to have choices in society:
the right to work, the right to equal
pay. the right to serve in the militar>. and yes, the right
to publish blurry photos of your primary sex characteris-
tics in "specialty" magazines. Though those twin arbiters
of freedom. Andrea Dworkin and Katherine MacKinnon,
might disagree, pornography is pan of feminism.
Friday's rally was an ill-considered move, brought on
more by passions than by consideration of the issues
involved. In the earliest days of the women's movement,
critics said it was unnatural, if not outright unholy, for
women to seek equality. It was scandalous for women to
show off half a calf at the beach in the days before World
War II. The bikini was considered the first sign of the end
of the world. Women were called perverts for demartding
legalized birth control.
They were sluts if they needed the right to an abonion;
they shouldn't have been having sex to begin with. And,
in the past 20 years, many were sick and twisted for
openly stating that, actually, they'd much prefer to
engage in conjugal acts with members of their own gen-
der.
I wonder if these same demonstrators will turn out the
next time activist/performer Annie Sprinkle comes to
town and bares her breasts on stage. Will they storm any
college gallery that hangs up a photo of a nude form?
Stuck in the middle of this mess is the man who owns
the neighboring Polish-American Cafe. Although not on

Annie Sprinkle comes

the A- list of eateries for five-college students, the cafe is
a favorite of the region's sizeable Polish community. Now,
because the spot next door was leased to a guy who rents
movies, the local government has re-routed traffic from
one entrance, to make it a bit more difficult to get to the
Adults Only store. The cafe owner estimates he will lose
bO percent of his business.
So much for free speech. The government hasn't
actually prohibited the opening of the store. They're
just making it impossible to get there. And an unin-
volved party, who has owned a
long-standing business, might have
to shut down. Why'.' Because
Adults Only makes people uncom-
fortable, and Hadley wants resi-
dents to feel safe.
This is another example of govern-
ment protecting people from their
rights.
If you don't like Rush Limbaugh,
you don't listen. If you don't like
"Friends," you don't watch. If you
don't like cigarettes, you don't
smoke: you don't drive down to
North Carolina and hold up a ban-
ner. You ignore the things you don't
like, and demonstrate by withholding purchase. There is
no reason to actively try to disrupt the rights of other peo-
ple who happen to disagree with you.
Basically, here's what happened: A businessman rent
ed some space to rent out movies. He did this, not
because he's sick or depraved, but because people rent
porno. Sex is business. (And. if local residents didn't get
it there, they'd get it in Holyokc or Springfield or by
mail. Making Adults Only close down wouldn't stop the
flow of pom to the Valley; it would just send the money
elsewhere.)
The town couldn't stop him from exercising his legal
right to rent movies, so they changed the traffic patterns,
hurting bystanders. Then, the college students came out to
rant.
One of the Dead White Guys that today's students
seem to hate so much, an uptight, represseid prude, no
less, actually is the best defender of the Adults Otily
Video Store:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establish-
ment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the
right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition
the Government for a redress of grievances." — fames

Showdown at the White House
It's like a scene out of some
cheesy western. The two big
guns in town, walking to the
center of a deserted street, staring
each other down. They each hold
their hands perilously over their
revolvers, twitching their fingers.
They fix their steely glares on one
another, each daring the other to
blink first. Then,
suddenly... they turn
around, walk away,
refuse to talk to each
other anymore, and
shut the government
down.
Well. OK. Maybe
it's not exactly like
a western, but the
current battle over
the budget between
the president and
the GOP has gone
beyond simple bickering and name
calling and aspires to be turned
into something much more operat-
ic.
Neither side dares to cave in, nei-
ther of them wants to app>ear as the
weaker of the two. Each hoping to be
the last titan standing, compromise
be damned!
It breaks down like this. The gov-
ernment's fiscal year ends at the end
of October. The latest a budget can
be submitted is the middle of
November, because the government
can't spend any money unless it
knows exactly where the money is
supposed to go. All along, the
President has said he will not
approve a budget from Congress in
the proposed form. According to
him. the cuts in social programs and
the tax breaks for the wealthy go too
far. All along the GOP has said there
won't be any compromise, take it or
leave it.
See where the problem is?
The GOP budget proposal would
have the budget balanced in seven
years, but with drastic cuts in
Medicare, Medicaid, student loans
and other social programs, as well as
providing a large tax cut for higher
income Americans.
The White House proposal would
have the budget balanced in nine
years, and leave most programs
either intact or with much smaller
cuts made to them.
But, since compromise is out of
the question, the only thing either
side can agree on is that they're tak-
ing their bats and balls and going
home. So, for now we
get to see Newt
Gingrich and Bob Dole
standing side by side
like Batman and Robin
proclaiming to be the
heroes in this little
spat. Not the 1995
Nautilized Val
Kilmer/Chris
O'Donnell model, but
ihe old. graying, fat
model who winds up
signing black-and-
white glossy photos of the
Batmobile at auto shows.
The fight isn't about two years.
The fight isn't about whether or not
the budget needs to be balanced.
The fight is about pride. Who gets
to save face, who doesn't look like
they caved in to the "enemy."
So, in ihe interest in public .service,
I am unveiling for the first time any-
where, my plan to keep the moolah
pouring into the government coffers.
A series of new and reasonable taxes
and programs designed to raise the
cash flow without raising blood pres-
sures. Here we go:
Church Tax: You want to raise
money? Tax the churches... they take
in plenty. Establish a reasonable tax
based on land held, donations
received, and profits made from such
"wholesome" activities as bingo
night.
Churches themselves could offset
the costs by having devout members
cough up change every time they
transgress. Ten cents for taking the
I-ord's name in vain, etc.
This way, legitimate hou.ses of wor-
ship would be contributing their fair
share and the practice of establishing
a "church" in order to dodge taxes
would be virtuallv eliminated.
If the churches find this unreason-
able, the compromise should be that
either they pay the taxes, or, stay the
hell out of politics altogether. No
more endorsing candidates and no
more lobbying. It's a win-win sce-
nario.
Pretention Tax: A tax levied on
every pretentious action or posses-
sion. Car phones, little pony tails on
men, vanity plates, ground effects,
fashion shows and a truckload of
other activities and baubles are up
for inclusion.
lust think, every time a supermodel
bitches about how tough her job is,
she'd have to cough up a check. It
would be fabulous, darling.
Bar Song Tax: A tax that would be
collected from anyone who either
plays or sings along to any of the fol-
lowing tired, overplayed, songs in a
crowded bar or club.
"Paradise by the Dashboard
Light," "I Will Survive," "Son of a
Preacher Man." "New York New
York." "Piano Man," "Play That
Funky Music White Boy," "Frcebird,"
"I Heard it Through the Grapevine,"
"Stairway to Heaven," "Another
Brick in the Wall," "Hey lude,"
"Friends in Low Places" or
"Margaritaville."
A lesser tax would be imposed on
people who just requested the song
from a D) or simply hummed it.
National Lottery: This would be
big. Two bucks a throw, and the
jackpot would be determined by the
number of tickets sold. You would
have to pick six numbers out of
40(X), and the winner would collect
half of all the money collected. We
could call it "Super Duper Mega
Wowza Big- Time Bucks" and make
a fortune.
That's all there is to it. Put these
plans into effect and watch the loot
roll in. Until both sides decide to
grow up and compromise like the
government was designed to do in
the first place, these serve as an ade-
quate back-up. And remember, I'm
only here to help.

Gay pride justified
To the Editor:
Several weeks ago. at about 1:30
a.m., three friends and I decided to
go to Denny's after hitting a club in
Springfield. When we got to the
restaurant, we walked in and waited
to be seated. People at a couple of
tables noticed us walk in and each
went right back to their business.
A hostess came and seated us not
far from the front door, right next to a
table with three or four jockish ltx>k-
ing guys (I don't remember exactly
how many). As soon as we sat down,
we started to talk about all kinds of
things, ordinary things. Anyone listen-
ing, however, could easily tell from
our conversation that we were all gay.
It was after the table next to us started
eavesdropping on our conversation
that a little incident arose.
After someone at our table said
something, I heard the guys next to us
laugh and then get silent. I knew thc^
were continuing to listen, but paid no
attention (or at least acted like I paid
no attention). Several times, I could
tell that their conversation revolved
around listening in on ours, then
slinging jokes amongst themselves.
I've been in situations like this
before; they can be uneasy, but I'm
used to them. After 15 minutes of
this, they finished and got up to
leave. As the biggest of them stood
up. I heard him bellow, "Good night,
girls." I turned to see a large guy with
a lootball build and a snide "you
fags" smile on his face. I immediately
re.sponded, "yeah whatever, idiot," to
which he responded, "Don't start
with me or I'll pound your ass into
the ground." I kept my mouth shut
and watched them leave, thinking to
myself just who started that anyway.
Sometime last spring, my boyfriend
and I went to the Peter Pan terminal in
Noho where he was to catch his ride
home to Springfield. As his bus pulled
in. we walked towards it. talking as we
walked. As people began to board, we
said our goodbyes and gave each other
a little kiss and hug. )ust as we finished
our hug. I heard some tough-guy near-
by scream. "Oh my God, he just kissed
him." The tough-guy then turned to
me and asked. "Did you kiss him?
What are you, a couple of fags?" I
responded, "Yes, I kissed him, and
yeah, I'm a fag."
He took that as his cue to raise the
stakes, and threatened to "go with
me" and "kick my face in." I wanted
to keep my face in one piece, so I did
the best I could to lower the tension a
little and walk away.
Collegian columnist Evan Young
recently submitted an editorial in
which he cried about the indignation
he feels as a straight male having to
tolerate Gay Pride marches.
So Evan, when was the last time you
had a gay man confront you and
threaten to kick your face in because
you're straight, or because you dared
to hug or kiss your girlfriend in public?
If anything like this ever happened
to you, you'd appreciate a little show
of public support every now and then
to lift your spirits, loo. Incidents like
the ones I described above happen to
us all Ihe time. Pride marches show
everyone that the same public that
brings us bigots and bashers can also
bring us supporters.
The next time any of you angry,
oppressed straight guys gets bashed
by a group of gays, I'll be the first in
line to help you organize a straight
pride march.

Prison sponsors list
corrected
To the Editor:
On behalf of the Prison Awareness
Letters to the Editok
Week committee, I would like to
thank all of the sponsors of Prison
Awareness Week for their invaluable
assistance. Contrary to the abbreviat-
ed list published by the Collegian on
Thursday, we read the names of
sponsoring organizations before each
event.
Twice, I asked Collegian editor
Matt Vautour to print a correction,
but no correction was ever printed.
The sponsors were: UMass Radical
Student Union, Maoist
Internationalist Movement,
Revolutionary Anti-Imperialist
League, American Friends Service
Committee. Western Mass. Prison
Issues Group, Boricuas Unidos, Black
Mass Communication Project.
Graduate Employees Organization
Local 2322 United Auto Workers,
Social Thought and Political
Economy, Gray Panthers, Cape
Verdean Student Alliance. SAKE.
Malcolm X Cultural Center, Black
Student Union and the Office of
ALANA Affairs, Assistance was also
provided by a grant from the Student
Government Association.
There were many errors in the arti-
cle about Dr. Allyn Rickett's lecture
about "Thought Reform in
Revolutionary China." Most signifi-
cantly, in 1951. Dr. Rickett was just-
ly arrested and sentenced as a spy. It
is wishful ami- communism to listen
to Dr. Rickett's talk and walk away
thinking he was framed. Rickett most
definitely did do it. and four years in
a Maoist prison taught Rickett spying
is wrong.

Distinguished visi-
tor not welcome
To the Editor:
When the Distinguished Visitor
Program committee invites Charles
Murray, cta-author of The Bell Cune,
to this campus, it legitimizes and in
fact promotes to the student commu-
nity of this University dishonest,
patently fraudulent, pseudo-scientific
"scholarship" in violation of the most
fundamental responsibility of institu-
tions of higher learning.
By agreeing to publicly debate
Charles Murray on the alleged genet-
ic intellectual disability of black peo-
ple. Dr. Alvin Puissant of Harvard
University gives credence to an
assertation long since rejected by
responsible scholars worldwide as
having no basis whatsoever in scien-
tific fact.
To assert that there is something to
debate on the idea of genetic or racial
superiority or superiority is to make
us question and draw us away from
the all-important task of ridding our-
selves of attitudes and feelings of
superiority or inferiority. This is what
the Harry Bradley Foundation paid
Charles Murray $500,000 to do. The
University's Distinguished Visitors
Program should not be aiding and
abetting this objective.
David G. Du Bois, Visiting

Leader deserves all
respect
To the Editor:
Yitzhak Rabin's recent assassina-
tion has forced me to re- evaluate
my identity as a lew. I'm not a reli-
gious lew. in fact I don't even
believe in God. But regardless of
belief, I am an ethnic lew and I
don't deny my identity. It was inter-
esting for me to learn, as a lew,
about Yitzhak Rabin's life and all of
Ihe people he exiled and slaughtered
in Hussein Ibish's Nov. 10 article.
"The Life and Crimes of General
Yitzhak Rabin."
Before last Sunday, when I heard
the report on public radio, I knew lit-
tle about Rabin, other than he was
the Prime Minister of Israel. Now I
know the truth, I think. While I
respect Hussein's right to think and
write whatever he pleases, I feel this
article is exactly what the lewish pop-
ulation does not need to read at this
juncture. The monster Rabin may or
may not have been is irrelevant now
He's dead and was killed by a lew.
I just don't understand how mem-
bers of a minority group that ha!>
been persecuted for thousands of
years can forget the importance of
unity amongst its own people. How
often do we hear minority leaders tell
us to "be strong" and to 'come
together" as members of an
oppressed or disadvantaged group*"
We hear them every day, but we just
don't listen. It scares me to realize
that it took something like this to
wake me up. And it scares me even
more that there are people who are
still asleep.
I see my people tearing apart at
the seams, and although we are a
people identified by our religion,
it's not about religion, it's about
terror. Israelis arc terrified of losing
ihcir homeland again. Some
Israelis, like Amir, are so scared
that they are unwilling to compro-
mise with anyone, be it
Palestinians. Arabs, Muslims or
lews. What will this homeland be
like if its people are divided? Who
will its people be if they kill each
other?
Let this be your wake up call.
Realize where you're from, regardless
of who you are.

Alums offer support
for Bulger
To the Editor:
I have recently been following
accounts in the news regarding the
selection of the next president of the
University of Massachusetts.
I am a 1983 graduate of the
University, a certified public accoun-
tant and a member of the
Connecticut Bar. I am currently
working as Assistant Counsel at
Pratt & Whitney in East Hartford.
Although it's been several years
since graduation. I remain keenly
interested in the future of the
University.
Our University system is at a criti-
cal juncture. As our society rapidly
moves toward two distinct privileged
and disadvantaged segments, access
to high quality, affordable higher
education becomes ever more impor-
tant. Yet, at the same time, a grow-
ing shortfall of financial resources
available to support public higher
education is occurring because of
higher operating costs and fiscal con-
straints at the Slate and national lev
els. The next University president
must be able to address this condi
lion.
Sen. Bulger has clearly and capa
biy demonstrated his support and
appreciation of higher education
over the years. He has also shown
unparalleled effectiveness in forging
compromise and forming majorities
in support of education and other
causes m which he believes. As pres
idem, his commitment and leader
ship skills would continue to
advance the cause of higher educa-
tion outside the University system,
and at the same time, allow him to
support the growth and develop-
ment of the UMass student within
that system.

Boys in plaid coming to Pearl St.
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones will be patrolling Pearl St. on Saturday and Sunday night.
COU*T(»|OHMtAUS
By Mike Modean
CoHagion Staff
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
will take the stage Saturday and
Sunday night at Pearl Street this
weekend for an unprecedented
two-night stand of Ska-core mad-
ness.
On tour in support of their fifth
release (third on Mercury Records)
Question The Answers, the
Bosstones will be the first act ever
booked for a two nights in a row at
Peari Street.
The Boston octet has always
been a favorite on their home turf
of New England, winning over a
diverse range of fans with their
mixture of hardcore, punk and ska.
Their first two albums, Devil's
Sight Out and More Soise and
Other Disturbances, released on
the Boston-based TaangI label,
gained the Bosstones the fan fol-
lowing and momentum that they
needed to attract the attention of
Mercury records.
The band's first major label
release was a bit of a departure for
the band, but a sign of things to
come. Ska- Core the Devil and
Store was an EP that showcased
some of the band's harder edged
infiuences, and the first full length
to follow. Don't Know How to
Party, seemed like a natural pro-
gression.
The latest album. Question the
.Answers, has cranked up the horns
but managed to keep the guitars
going at a level that delivers the
usual high intensity music that fans
arc accustomed to.
A live Bosstones show, however,
is where the band really makes its
mark. Concerts are usually exercis-
es in mayhem, with bodies dancing
and slamming everywhere and con-
cert- goers lining up to get on
stage. Once on stage, anything can
happen from the usual, (stage div-
ing) to the unusual, (lead singer
Dicky Barrett letting you sing
along, or even sing by yourself
while he leaps into the crowd).
Past shows at Pearl Street have
featured the throwing of CDs. and
the band's trademark plaid jack-
ets to fans and Barren climbing to
the top of the PA amplifiers and
leaping into the crowd. But while
the stage show of the band may
be unpredictable, the one thing
that is certain is that most in the
crowd will leave the venue
exhausted.
In the genre of ska, where so
much ground has already been
tread upon, the Bosstones have
managed to come up with a fresh
original blend of many diverse
styles.
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
will play Pearl St. in Sorthampion
Saturday & Sunday at 6.30 p.m.
and 8 p.m. respectively. For more
info, call (413) 58^7771.

Concert unveils new marimba
By Seema Gangoiirkor
Collegian Staff
Between the unveiling of a brand new five-octave
marimba and the recording of a CD. members of the
University of Massachusetts' music ensembles have been
keeping busy.
Yesterday night, the Trombone Choir and the UMass
Marimba Ensemble joined together to perform a
full-length concert at Bezanson hall. The program includ-
ed the unveiling of the new marimba
"We have been waiting many years for this day." said
Peter Tanner, director of the Marimba Ensemble. "Due to
budgetary constraints we have been unable to purchase
equipment."
Thanks to a grant from the Eleanor Naylor Dana
Charitable Trust, secured by Music & Dance Faculty
members Joanne and Peter Tanner, the eight-foot marim-
ba will become an integral part of the ensemble, lending a
new musical dimension by virtue of the instrument's
extended low range.
Members of the University's Wind Ensemble arc in for
a rare experience: they will record a composition for
release by Albany Records.
For the past several weeks, the Ensemble has been
rehearsing "Tears" — a composition by David Maslanka.
Maslanka will pay a visit to the University today to work
with the ensemble and on Monday, under the direction of
Professor Malcom W. Rowell |r, will record Ihe piece.
"There is no better way for students to experience cre-
ativity than to work in rehearsal directly with the compos-
er," Rowell staled. "Our students will be able lo experi-
ence the composer's mind and thought process. There is
no substitute for this direct contact."
This isn't the first lime the Wind F.nsembic has been
recorded in 1991 — the group produced a compact disk
with two major works by Maslanka. "A Child's Garden dl
Dreams" and "Symphony No. 8."
Although the Ensemble has nearly perfected the perfor-
mance of the work. Rowell believes thai rehearsaN «iih
Maslanka will lake ihe piece lo a new level In addiiion u<
working with the Wind Ensemble. Maslanka plans ki
coach student compo.sers as well as meet with a variety of
music classes and ensembles.
The New England premiere of "Tears" will take place
on Sunday, Nov. 19 in the Fine Arts Center Hall. The con

THE MASSACHUSETTS DAILY COLLEGIAN
SUB to get funky with diverse rock, rap & reggae sounds of 3 1 1
By Mike Burke
Collegion Staff
51 I started their musical career
with a bang — their first gig was
opening up for Fugazi. Since that
fabled night they have risen to be
considered one of the hottest live
bands around. Based out of Los
Angeles, this quintet has successfully
fused "hard rock, rap and reggae into
a potent tnusical cocktail.' Tonight,
UPC brings the band to the Student
Union Ballroom for what will certain-
ly be an exciting show.
Originally from Nebraska, the
band's influences are as diverse as
their sound, ranging from Bob Marley
to Nat King Cole to the Bad Brains —
quite an interesting combination to
say the least. This has helped the
band generate a sciund that has made
them stand out in the rock world.
In 1995 the band released their
debut record simply entitled.
Music. This was followed by
Grassroots and their current self
titled release 3//. Lead singer Nick
Hexum commented on the titles of
the album. "Our first record was enti-
tled Music, (because] our goal was to
take rap and make it musical. We
called the second one Grassroots
mainly because we wanted to grow
up slowly, the right way, from the
ground level up."
Since moving from Nebraska to the
more vibrant city of Los Angeles, the
band has been fully engulfed in the
Southern California way of life.
OuickJy they have become a hit band
amongst the surfing and skateboard
crowds, but they have also been
embraced by a much more diverse
audience. Hexum stated, "Our audi-
ence is pretty much a bunch of people
just like ourselves: meaning that they fit
into any specific category. You can find
a little bit of everylhing at our shows."
Tonight's show at the Student
Union Ballroom will certainly bring
out the best in a lot of folks. Be pre-
pared for a night with steaming tunes
filled with distinct sounds of reggae,
rock, funk and rap. If this was not
enough, Shootyz Groove will be
opening up the show.
ill and Shootyz Groove play the
Student Union Ballroom tonight at 8
p.m. Tickets are $15 for UMass stu-
dents and $lb.5U for the general public
and are available at Tix Unlimited and
the Sorthampton Box Office Call UPC
at 545-2S92 for more information.
The funky sounds of 31 1 (seen here) and Shootyz Groove will be featured in a concert tonight at the Student Union Ballroom.

Political espionage played out in Chess
By Molt SirKJair
Collegian Staff
CHEiS
Bowker Auditorium
Nw. 16
The University of Massachusetts'
Theater Guild premiered its latest
musical production. Chess.
Wednesday night, at Bowker
Auditorium. Based on the original
Broadway show and featuring
music by Abba men Benny
Andersson and Bjom Ulvaeus. the
musical was set within the context
of chess rivalr>. juxtaposed against
a background of intense Cold War
paranoia.
The principle theme was roman-
tic and became interesting when
Florence, the manager of American
chess champion Freddie Trumper.
starts to get involved with Russian
arch- chess rival Anatolv
Serievsky.
It is a classic scenario of East
versus West and the game of chess
is the medium through which this
confrontation takes place. The
paranoia is so intense it becomes
blatant satire. Each side refuses to
budge an inch on issues which
could bias one side against the
other.
The Chess pit orchestra was
impressive, as were the singing per-
formances of the ensemble and
many of the leading cast. Special
mention must go to Amy Allred as
Florence Vassy; her skills were con-
siderable as the musical appeared
to revolve around her.
Humorous characters that never
failed to amuse the audience
included Elsie Sara Schild as
Andrea Walters, and Donald
Marshall as Ivan Molokov, Andrea
is Freddie's PR front-woman who
manipulates him for her own ends.
It becomes apparent that she l>
working for a government agency,
therefore giving precedence to the
political implications of the chang-
ing relations between the charac-
ters. Molokov is .Andrea's Russian
equivalent, likewise stopping at
nothing to ensure political ends are
met.
Chess is a heady blend of
tragedy, romance, and above all
comedy, these features being faith-
fully recreated by an energetic and
enthusiastic cast, helped along by a
supportive audience. The Theatei
Guild put on an admirable show
involving considerable effort and
dedication.
Chess will play tonight and
tomorrow night at Bowker
Auditorium at 8 p.m. Tickets are
$6 general public and $4 for
UMass students and are available
at the Tine Arts Box Office or at the
door

Women's Gym signs national recruit Students at Holy Cross lift boycott
By Steven Grant
Collegian Staff
One of (he nation's top recruits in women's gymnastics
has chosen Massachusetts as her college of choice.
University of Massachusetts coach Dave Kuzara
announced yesterday.
Mandy Mosby. out of Brookwood High School in
Lilbum. Georgia, has signed a National Letter of Intent to
attend UMass in the fall of next year.
The high school senior is a four time Georgia state
champion, a Southeast regional champion and a Level
10 qualifier for the past five years. Mosby placed sev-
enth in the nation on balance beam in 1994 and was
the 1995 AAU National Beam, Floor and All Around
champion.
Other schools in the hunt for Mosby included Arizona
and Alabama.
Mosby is a member of the National Honor Society.
Beta Club and Future Business Leaders of America.
She is a Georgia Certificate of Merit winner and was
named in Who's Who Among American High School
Students.
Last season, the Minutewomen finished 14-12, which
included wins over No. 21 West Virginia and No. 9 Pcnn
State. The fact that UMass not only faced nationally
ranked competition, but often fared well against it. should
provide some confidence to the team going into this sea-
son.
|.|. Tolhurst. then a junior, qualified and performed
well in the NCAA Championships after being awarded the
Northeast Region's all around champion.
Tara Swartz. Lianne Laing. Penny Lebeau. and Karen
Maurer. among others, also contributed greatly lo last
year's group. These returnees, along with what Tolhurst
called a "great" group of incoming freshmen, could com-
bine for one of the strongest seasons the team has seen in
some time.
"I feel... they performed ihe best gymnastics of their
careers, and they are still going to improve for next
year." Kuzara said of his team at the end of last sea-
son.
The season opens up Ian. 15, 2 p.m. at George
Washington.

Associoled Press
Mo Vaughn beats Belle for AL MVP
By Bwi Walker
Associated Press
Mo Vaughn beat out Albert Belle for the AL MVP award
yesterday in one of the closest elections ever, a vote that
called into question whether the Cleveland star's surliness
cost him the honor.
The two sluggers tied for the AL RBIs lead with 126.
Belle, however, led the majors with 50 home runs in the
shortened season and became the first player to get 100
extra-base hits since Stan Musial in 1948.
Belle has earned a reputation, however, for being uncoop-
erative and downright rude to reporters — who do the
voting. He is expected to be penalized by major league
baseball this month for berating a television reporter dur-
ing the World Scries, although that outburst came after all
28 ballots were returned.
"i guess it really does say something." Vaughn said at a
news conference in Boston, held at a center where he
founded a youth development program. "People are look-
ing at the whole thing and that it's just not numbers."
A letter that accompanies the official ballot to members of
the Baseball Writers Association of America lists the five
rules — which have remained unchanged since the origi-
nal ballot in 1951 — to consider. The third guideline:
"General character, disposition, loyalty and effort."
Vaughn, regarded by media members and fans as one of
Ihe nice guys in baseball, hit .500 with 59 home runs as
the first baseman for the AL East champion Boston Red
Sox. Belle batted .517 as an All Star outfielder for the
Indians, who had the best rcxord in baseball.
Vaughn received 12 first-place votes. 12 seconds and four
thirds for a total of 508 points. Belle got 1 1 first -place
votes. 10 seconds and seven thirds for 500 points. Had
just one more first-place vote changed positions. Belle
would have won.
"I know that he had some great numbers." Vaughn said.
"If it's numbers, he probably would win."
Seattle designated hitter Edgar Martinez received four
first-place votes and was third with 244 points, and
Indians reliever lose Mesa got Ihe other first-place vote
and was fourth with 1 50.
The eight-point margin between Vaughn and Belle was
the ninth closest in MVP history, and the closest since
Willie Stargell and Keith Hernandez lied for the 1979 NL
honor.
The tightest AL election also involved a question of char-
acter when |oe DiMaggio beat Ted Williams 202 201 in
1947. Williams won the Triple Crown that season, but
was left off the 1 0-place ballot by a Boston writer who did
not like the somctimes-snaHy Red Sox star.
"It's important to have character," Vaughn said.
The voting was done was by 28 writers — two from each
li-ague city.
lack O'Connell. who covers the New York Yankees for
The Hartford Courant, said he listed Vaughn first. Cy
Young winner Randy lohnson of Seattle second and Belle
third on his ballot.
"I'd like to think character didn't make a difference in my
vole." O'Connell said. "But it could have. Subconsciously,
it might have."
Vaughn became the ninth Boston player to win the MVP,
and the first since Roger Clemens in 1986. No Cleveland
player has won since Al Rosen in 1955, a year before the
Indians had made their last World Series appearance until
Belle led them that far this season.
Vaughn led the Red Sox eariy in the season, when they
were struggling to stay ahead despite injuries to lose
Canseco and other key members. He set a career-high for
home runs, played in his first All-Star game and showed
improved defense.
In addition to his on-field efforts. Vaughn has been
praised by city leaders for his charity work, especially with
children.
Black students lifted their boycott of sports and other
extracurricular activities at the College of ihe Holy Cross
yesterday after officials reversed a stuilcnl government
vote lo strike a clause in a black group's charter.
The boycott lasted three days on the campus in
Worcester. Mass.. with the school's 68 blacks going only
to classes and work study jobs. Twent>-three varsity ath-
letes stayed away from practices and even a women's has
ketball game against the Slovakian national team But the
protest ended yesterday aliernoon and the athletes were
expected to return to the playing fields and courts today,
said Keon Carpenter, president of the Black Students
Union.
Adminisirators said the clause in the BSU's constitution
requiring its elected leaders to be of African descent was
not discriminatory as written.
"We firmly believe there are CL>mpclling reasons for the
BSU to establish this qualification for its officers. It pre-
serves the integrity of the BSU and the vers- reasons for its
existence," said the Rev Earie 1 . Markey, vice president
of student affairs and dean of students.
Student leaders had voted 51 21 Monday with four
abstentions to eliminate a clause that some argued pre-
vented white members of the BSU lo serve on the gixjup's
executive board.
Members of the Black Student Union argued the organi-
zation was their only voice al the private liberal arts col-
lege, so any altempi lo curb their control of the group was
an atlempi lo control them.
Markey said the BSU was more than just a club, since it
served as a "bridge to ihe Holy Cross community for its
members. It has and will continue lo be an integral part of
campus life." However, the black students still want the
college to address other issues, including the disparity
between the number of black students who are recruited
to play sports at the college and those who are non-ath
letes. Carpenter said.
Members of the Student Ciovemmenl Association railed
against the administrations "irresponsible handling of this
issue." saying school officials had told the students to han
die the matter as far back as April.
Ion Sarra and Tom Weber, the co-chairmen of the SCA.
said the BSU's constitution set up vkhite students to be
second class members without any chance of being part of
the leadership.
"We challenge the administration to justify their pater-
nalistic decision, in the wake of their lack of leadership on
the issue." they said in a statement. "The decision ren-
dered tixiay undermines ihe college's commitment to stu-
dent governance on this campus."
The adminislralion could have intervened earlier but
some officials thought il would K' better lo let the stu-
dents ir> to rescilve the dispute themselves, said Rhonda
Brown, the school's affirmative action officer.
"If it were not a student-related matter, it would have
been handlc-d much earlier and differently." said Brown,
who is black. Brown said the student leaders were well
meaning idealists who latched onto an "attractive con-
cept" but lost sight of the realities of campus life. Out
of 2.758 students. Holy Cross has 68 blacks. 61
Hispanics. 75 Asians and ihre-e Native Americans "In
their minds, fairness is fairness and what is good for
one must be good for all of us. Thai is nol always so,"
she said. The school plans to hold a forum after
Thanksgiving to allow the students a chance to discuss
what has happened on campus as well as the larger
issues involved. Brown said.
Bradley
continued from page t
changes.
The earth has wobbled on iis axis,
changing the time of year that we are
closest to the sun. Eleven thousand
years ago the eanh was closest to the
sun in June, while tixlay the earth is
closest to the sun on Dec. 21 .
Due to the rise in temperature we
can expect oceans to rise 20-50 cm.
This change in sea level may nol
seem to be a crucial factor, but
Bradley said that due to the rise in
sea level, there will be a change in
hurricane frequency, and the migra-
tion patterns of some species will be
affected.
"These are very imponant i.ssues."
he said. "Even though there is a
degri*e of uncertainty."
BradlL7 said he believes that within
the next 10 years it will become easi-
er to tell if global warming actually
exists because computer technology
will improve and the readings that
are done by computer will become
more accurate.
He acknowledges that Ihe research
done by himself and his colleagues is
not the absolute answer lo environ-
mental problems.
"I don't think any scientist in this
debate would argue that we have all
the answers." Bradley said. "There
are records that show very dramatic
changes... the question is whether
these changes represent just that part
of the world, or if they truly repre-
sent integrated change.
"The question is whether these
changes are confined to glacial peri-
ods, or if they can occur during inter-
glacial periods such as we have now?"

UM swimmers prepared for Terriers
Alessio
By Mike Corey
Gsllegian Staff
W'iih two recent victories behind them, the
Massachusetts women's swim team is confident that they
can keep up their winning ways, when they taice on
Boston University tomorrow afternoon at 4 p.m in Boyden
Gvmnasium.
Coming off a 205.5 to 94,5 drowning of Northeastern
last Saturday, the Minutewomen are aiming for their third
consecutive victory in as many meets.
UMass has outscored the competition the past two
meets by a total of 545.5 to 1 79.5.
Head coach Bob Newcomb has liked the way his team
is performing, and is pleased with the overall team effort
he has received.
"It's been a really good start for us," Newcomb said.
'I'm pleased with the things we've done, and I'm really
impressed with the leadership of the seniors.'
The Minutewomen will continue to do the things they
have done which has enabled them to swim off to a 2-0
start.
"We will continue practicing our stroke techniques, our
turns, breathing, and our starts." Newcomb said. "We
need to work on some race strategies and concentrate on
our techniques, though.'
According to Newcomb. the ultimate goal for the
Minutewomen is the Atlantic-IO championships which lie
ahead at the end of the year.
.\fier the meet against BU. the Minutewomen will com-
pete in the New England Championship at the beginning
of December.
"The NE championship is a big picture event." said
Newcomb. "That is the highlight of the fall semester for
us. but in the end it just gets us prepared for the
Atlantic-10."
Tomorrow UMass will have a tough meet on their
hands as they attempt to knock off Boston University,
which by no means is an easy opponent.
As for BU. the Terriers come to Amherst with a record
of I -0 so far in this early season. Their solo win came at
the expense of the Northeastern Huskies.
Head coach Ray Welmore siys his team has been mak-
ing some progress and is excited for this meet.
"We have been working hard so far." said Wetmore.
"We have a lot of talent on this team, and we've been
doing our normal routines and daily workouts in prepara-
tion for these meets."
Newcomb knows this meet is not going to come as easi-
ly as the first two victories have.
"They're extremely talented." said Newcomb. "This is
the best BU team that we've ever swam against. We're
going to have to take a big step up in order to compete
with them in every event."
Talking about stepping it up. a number of UMass swim-
mers have done just that, giving the Minutewomen spec-
tacular times and the incentive they need for victory.
Barbara Mickey is or:ce again a notable mention, as she
took first place last week in both of the long distance
events; the 500 and 1000 yard frccstyles. Hickey contin-
ues to gel faster and consistently provides the
Minutewomen with valuable fwints.
Sarah Baker continues to blow by the competition in
the 50 and 100 yard freestyle events with unbeatable
limes. Baker has also emerged as a team leader, provid-
ing the senior leadership that Newcomb was talking
about.
The freshmen have also stepped it up greatly, as Julie
Alexander finished in second place last week in both the
200 and 500 yard freestyle. Meghan Matacera took sec-
ond place in the 100 yard backstroke, lill Carroll also
showed that her abilities are strong, finishing second in
the 50 yard freestyle.
Boston University will counter with Kristy Helin. who
is very versatile in the breaslstroke and freestyle events.
Laura Tuck and Lisa Marie are two of BU's strong
mid-distarce to long-distance swimmers, and their diving
program is one of the best.
"Our diving is quite powerful," said Wetmore. "We
have some very good divers, and our strength is in that
area."
Brooke Foley, last year's East Coast Athletic Conference
diver of the year, will lead the attack for tlic Terriers.
For UMass. Divers Angelique Rodriguez, freshman Kim
Schadt. and Krystin Carpenter look to perform well off
the boards which could be a determining factor in the
meet. Rodriguez tinished second in both the one and
three meter diving events last weekend in the
Northeastern contest.
"UMass has one of the best swim teams that I've seen
in a while." said Wetmore. "We expect this to be a very,
verv close meet."

thing he has done in the past, getting the ball on pitches
and running to the outside. But the outside is not as far
out anymore. Alessio has bulked up since last year, hitting
the weight room hard during the offseason. As a result,
you'll sec Alessio going more toward the inside because
he is able to body up against the defensive linemen
instead of trying to escape them.
"It has definitely helped me." Alessio said about the
added bulk. "Since freshman year, I've put on weight.
This past year. I figured if I was able to build up more. I'd
be able to build confidence, as well."
If you have watched the Minutemen religiously over the
last few years, and you have witnessed Alessio in action,
you'll have also noticed something which sets him apart
from the normal running back. He
gets the ball, he runs with the ball,
and he gets tackled, just like any
other back.
But as others take their time getting
up after being stopped, or fix their
uniform shortly after being leveled by
a defensive lineman, Alessio jumps up
after every tackle, and runs back to
the huddle. Whether it be a gang
tackle or a solo tackle, you'll see num-
ber 20 bounce up as fast as he went
down.
"I like to just jump right back up,
even after I get wrecked," Alessio
said. "I don't want to give the defense
a reason to celebrate. I guess I just
don't want the defense to think they
got the best of me."
See Frank hustle back to the hud-
dle.
Influence of Rene
Alessio gets into the three point
stance at his tailback position on each
play. Directly in front of him is another
back doing just the same. It's fullback
Rene Ingoglia, the best running back in UMass history.
Each year Alessio has played, he's taken a back seat to the
irreplaceable Ingoglia. Eleven school records and 4,565
rushing yards by Ingoglia have diminished Alessio's out-
standing efforts. Being overshadowed could produce some
frustration, jealousy wouldn't be unheard of. More atten-
tion could be craved.
Sec Frank praise Ingoglia.
"I wouldn't want to play with a different running back
than Rene," Alessio said. 'He's a big motivator, he's been
a great role model for me. Rene has great work ethic, and
he's just a fun person to play on the field with."
If Rene is a consistent in Alessio's life in relation to
football. Frank Sr. and Judy Alessio are even more
important in all facets of his life as a whole. He says
they're the 'biggest thing in his life." and that they have
yet to miss one of his games throughout his career at
UMass. Alessio also notes the fact his parents even
made the trip to the 1992 season opener in Virginia at
the University of Richmond during the 1992 season —
even though he wasn't playing since it was his redshirt
freshman year.
He's playing now. alright. The amazing 5i7-yard effort
last week brought Alessio the Coca-Cola Gold Helmet
award as New England's Division I Player of the Week,
Yankee Conference Player of the Week, the ECAC
Offensive Player of the Week, The Sports Network l-AA
National Offensive Player of the Week. Don Hansen's
National Weekly Football Gazette Co-Offensive Player of
the Week... and a ca.se of "turf toe."
So while the honors piled up. and the awards were
given thi.^ past week. Alessio was dealing with the pain
suffered from the fluid which
collected in his two big toes.
The "turf toe" is a result of
making any kind of cut on the
turf, and having your toe dig
into the surface. Alessio said
he did it in the first quarter ol
the game, which means he
still gained at least 248 yards
after he suffered the turf
injury to his toes.
Massachusetts coach Mike
Hodges knows that despite
the minor injuries. Alessio
loves to run on the turf.
"This guy. he loves the
turf, I've got to admit that,"
Hodges said after last
week's BU game. "He had a
twinkle in his eye when he
went out there... That's an
awful nice feeling when he
breaks the line of scrimmage
to just start looking for clip-
ping penalties because you
know nobody's going to catch
him once he hits open field."
Last week, Alessio and Ingoglia became the first
UMass backfield duo to gain over 1.000 yards apiece in
the same season. While Ingoglia climbs up his own
record charts. Alessio's record-setting day broke
Ingoglia's old record of 315 yards set against Rhode
Island last season. A great record, admits Alessio. but he
favors breaking the 2.000 yard mark after three years of
playing.
'Going over the 2.000 yard mark was a bigger accom-
plishment." Alessio said. "Getting that single game
record. I'm obviously very happy with it. I give credit to
the whole team, because without them, nothing would be
possible. (The single game record] almost shocks me. As a
back, you tend to look at your stats, but for me, it wasn't
a big deal. The numbers add up."
They do add up. They are adding up. Thev will add
up.
See Frank keep on runninp

UMass faces UConn in second round of NCAAs
By Condice Flemming
Collegian Staff
For the last two years, it's been either the
Massiichusetis or Connecticut women's soccer team head-
ing to the I inai Four from the Northeast Region.
Thi- >eai that could happen again, as the two teams
face each other in the second round of the NCAA
Tournament on Sunday at 1 p.m. in Storrs. Conn. The
Minutewoiiien advanced to the second round with its 2-1
overlime \ictoty against Hartford last Saturday.
The winner of Sunday's match advances to the third
round to face the winner of the Wisconsin-Notre Dame
game, also being played on Sunday.
In 14*1?. it wa^ ttie Minutewomen heading to the Final
Four, as they beat the Huskies 1-0 to advance. Last year.
UConn went to the Final Four after beating Hartford, who
had beaten UMass.
When the two teams met in Amherst on Oct. 21, the
Huskies came away with a 2-0 victory in a torrential
downp«.iur.
In fact, the weather had a big part in the outcome, as a
puddle in front of one of the goals stopped a sure Karin
Johnson goal
lana Carabino's two goals led the Huskies to victory
in the muddy contest Carabino currently leads UConn
in overall scoring with 42 points on 18 goals and six
assists,
Fntering that game, the Minutewomen were a bit tired,
as thev were playing their third tough game in a 1 1 days.
Bcfciie UConn. they tied Hartford 0 0 and beat
Dartmouth I-D.
Fntering Sunday's game. Massachusetts coach lim Rudy
feels conddent,
'The team is playing better at this point in the year
That 1 first UConn game] was our third ball-buster match
in 1 1 days. Now the games are spread out a little bit." he
said. "We're more on top of our game now leading into
UConn."
UConn's Kerry Connors, who was injured in the Oct.
21 meeting between the two schools, still might be side-
lined for Sunday's contest. Siobhan Harold is the proba-
ble starter in goal for UConn. although Amy Schwarz as
seen action in net lately for the Huskies.
"IHaroldj is a kid we are looking to get another crack
at." Rudy said, "jlf Connors playsj that gives them three
very quick one-on-one players."
At one point in the season. Connors led the nation in
assists. On the season, she is second on the team in points
with 35 (nine goals. 17 assists).
The MinutevM)men will also have to watch out for the
Tietjen twins. Margaret and lennifer. that is.
Margaret is the team's third leading scorer ( 1 1 goals, 1 2
assists. 54 points) and Jennifer is the team's sixth leading
scorer (four goals. 12 assists. 20 points).
UMass' Rachel LeDuc ha'^ been the UConn killer. She
beat the Huskies with an overtime goal in the first round
of the NCAA tournament as a freshman in W12. and then
beat them again in \'i'i'i with a goal to advance the
Minutewomen to the Final Four.
Rebecca Myers, who was injured during the Hartford
game, should start against the Huskies. According i>'
Rudy, she has "looked giKxl."
Rudy isn't worried about a letdown after coming off of
such an emotional win against Hartford, in which the
Minutewomen won on a LeDuc goal with 1 .4 seconds left
in the second overtime.
"We've trained pretty well. We've gotten a little bit of
rest." Rudy said. "1 feel better this time around."
The game can be heard live on WMUA 91.1 with
Anthony Guido on play-by-play and )ustin C. Smith on
color.

UM watches as Alessio runs to greatness
By Andrew Bryce
Collegion Staff
See Frank run.
The lou»\. rainy weather turned the grass of
Warren .McCiuirk Alumni Stadium into a mudpit
three weeks back. Massachusetts tailback Frank
Alessio pumped hi* legs a bit higher than usual,
kept his balance by watching his footing, and sped
his way to a game-high 206 yards on the ground
and a touchdown in the Oct. 28 44-56 victory over
Lehigh.
Two weeks later, the Minutemen played on
asiroturf for just the second time all season.
Alessio's feet bcmnced off the soft, cushiony fast
surface, as he exploded for a Yankee Conference
lecord 557 yards in a 28-25 win at Boston
University on Nov 1 1.
Farlier this season, a sunny day on the University
of Massachusetts campus resulted in a 5 1 -0 drub-
bing of Holv Cross, with Alessio chalking up 155
yards on 1 2 carries.
See Frank run in any type of weather.
The Minutemen have fieen dealt just about every
ptissjble hand by Mother Nature so far this season.
And. with a 6 4 record entering tomorrow's final
game of the year at Connecticut, the team has
responded differently in the types of climate. Yet if
there's one player who has adjusted to the field of
choice each weekend, it's Frank Alessio.
Always on the run
li s not a shock Alessio continues to run well
on whatever surface is placed under his feet.
rhis guy did it on the Pop Warner level back as
.1 young child, where he'd find himself speeding
to the outside fur rushing yardage. He ran in
high school on both the gridiron and the track
before he came to UMass. as his opponents
received n good look of the back of his uniform
as he sped by them. He was an all-stater and
team MVP at Sparta High School in Sparta. N|
in both sports.
■ ll tliil start in Pop Warner." Alessio said "When
1 went to the outside, no one would catch me. I've
always had that speed to my advantage, yet I still
have worked veiy hard on my speed."
fven when he was .edshirted. Alessio still did
his running in practice. Simultaneously, the learn-
ing process also continued.
"It was a completely different game |than
high school)." Alessio said. "It's just a faster,
tougher, more competitive game. It took a little
bit of time freshman year, with the hitting drills
and the live running. I'd be running through the
hall, not bursting, and get wacked. That's the
way to learn, to play to the ability of your oppo
nents."
Now. Alessio is running like crazy on the colle-
giate level. His third year in. the 5-foot 7-inch.
181 pound junior has rushed for 2.567 yards as a
Minuteman. giHjd enough for third on the school's
career rushing list In fact. Alessio has sprinted
past All America Rene Ingoglia on the UMass rush-
ing list for this season, gaining 1.151 yards on 140
carries.
See Frank gain 8.2 yards per carry so far this sea-
son.
This season. Alessio has shown major improve-
ment in his game He's doing the same type of

Seniors say 'so long'
By Andr«w Bryc*
Collegton Staff
OAYMION ^MfTM.CCXLtClAN
Frank Alessio (20) and the Massachusetts football team close out the '95 season tomorrow at
Connecticut.
On Oct 28. the University of
Massachusetts football team had
its own Senior Day. honoring the
seniors rather anti- climatically
for their efforts.
Three weeks later, the ultimate
conclusion is here. Those 12
UMass players who have no years
of eligibility left will play in a col-
legiate game for the last time as
the Minutemen travel to
Connecticut to take on the 7-3
Huskies (4-3 in Yankee
Conference).
UMass (6-4. 3-4) is looking for
it's seventh victory and. in the
process, hoping to go .500 in con-
ference play.
But since the win is of great
importance in order to finish out
the season with a commendable
record, what's of greater magni-
tude is how those Minutemen
players who put on the maroon
and white jerseys play one more
time.
The following seniors will end
their careers tomorrow:
• Vernard Fennell. co-captain
defensive end and team's sack
leader before being knocked out
for the season by a knee injury.
• Breon Parker, an All
America comerback last season,
and the anchor of the
Minuteman secondary for the
past three seasons.
• Andrew McNeilly. the UMass
starting quarterback for three sea-
sons.
• lason Tudryn. a two-year
starter at free safely.
• Kevin Bourgoin, a three-year
starter at wide receiver.
• lason Mumford. a two-year
starter at strong safety.
• DB Alex Korrentis and LB
Brett Hammond, who both
played key roles on special
teams.
• Ken Bello. starting defensive
end.
• Lou Brandt, backup center.
• Trejo Rust, starling line-
backer
There's also one more senior
who will play the final game of his
college career.
His name is Rene Ingoglia. and
it is safe to say he has made a
name for himself in his stay here
at UMass.
He's rewritten the Minuteman
record book 11 times. His 54
touchdowns are just two shy of
setting a new Division I- AA
record for career rushing TDs. He
is also just two shy of getting the
Yankee Conference record for
career TDs. He has gained 4.565
yards on the ground in his career,
which means he needs just 23
more to pass Delaware's Darryl
Brown (4.587 yards) as the
YanCon's all-time leading rusher.
Saturday will be his final
chance to break all those records.
"It's the last collegiate game
he'll ever play." said junior tail-
back Frank .Alessio. "I'm excited
to watch him. I want to see him
play some tailback."
Ingoglia started his UMass foot-
ball career at the tailback position,
yet switched over to fullback to
fill the hole.
He could very well have a
chance to play btith positions dur-
ing tomorrow's 1 p.m. game
against Skip Holtz' Huskies at
Memorial Stadium.
UM will have a Devil of a time
By Leigh Torbin
Collegian Stuff
The first time the Massachusetts hockey team breaks
out of its defensive zone tonight the Providence College
Friars will react in the following manner.
rhe center will force the UMass puck-carrier wide to
the hoards 'I'he defenseman on that side will step up and
meet him. while the winger on that side will pull up
alongside him. The opposing wing and defenseman will
clog the center ice area, removing the puck-carrier's pass-
ing liines.
Il is called the neutral zone trap. This past summer it
brought a .Stanley Cup to exit 16W. and today it has brought
the Iriais. 14 17 -6 last year, to the top spot in Hockey Ea.st.
Tiibbed for seventh in the Hockey Fast preseason
coaches' poll, the Friars found the ideal system to compli-
ment iheir strengths and have worked it to perfection.
'Fhe connection between Providence and the swamps of
lersey runs deep Devils General Manager Lou Lamoriello
is il former player, coach and athletic director at
Providence, and it appears that current Friar coach Paul
l'cK)ley has learned New lersey's grinding style of play well
Iroin his piedecessor.
Ilie Friars and Devils are nearly identical in composi-
tion with each squad featuring rugged, poised and experi-
enced dcfensenien. Scrappy, hard-nosed forwards who
iiic quick on iheir feet and opportunistically look for
luniovors fill the rosters of both teams. Meanwhile. Dan
Dennis in the net has rivaled Martin Brodeur thus far in
1443. leading IliKkey l:ast in goals-against-average and
save percentage
Hie fiiniuila has paid dividends for the upstart Friars,
who will battle the other surprising Hockey East squad
this weekend.
UMass. tubbed for dead last by the coaches, has already
vquailed its k-jigue win total of last year, and with a sweep
ol P(\ can oveHake the Friars atop Hockey East.
"Ten points this weekend will put us in first place and a
lot of people picked us to finish last." said senior Tom
Perry. "Right now we've won three out of four (in Hockey
East] and were starting to turn heads. Hopefully we'll
continue to win this weekend and get ten more points."
The Minutemen will hope to counter the trap by scor
ing eariy. a method that has worked better than any tacti-
cal maneuver against New Jersey in the playoffs. Forcing
Providence to open up its attack and abandon the trap is
imperative for a UMass victory.
If the Friars are allowed to sit back in their trap and
clog the neutral zone, like the Devils did so effectively this
summer, problems will arise for UMass. The trap offers
little space to work offensively, smothering opponents,
limiting scoring opportunities and quality shots in particu-
lar.
"This is going to be frustrating." said senior forward
Mike Evans. "It won't be pretty. We'll have to work hard
and try to capitalize on the chances that we get.
"You can't really do anything against it. you've just got
to fight through it and wait for your chances."
"It is a pretty interesting system that is designed to frus-
trate, but we're not going to let it frustrate us." said coach
|oe Mallcn. "We're going to focus on getting quality shots
and finishing our chances."
To defeat the Friars, particulariy tonight at Schneider
Arena. UMass will have to maintain their composure in the
face of a stifling and seemingly impenetrable neutral zone.
Saturday night on the William D. Mullins Center's
Olympic sized ice the Friars will face a challenge as they
will be faced with more ice to defend. The Devils never
faced this task: no NHL team plays on Olympic-sized ice.
Whether or not the Friars will have the team speed to
compensate for the added ice surface will be an important
factor that it is difficult to speculate about. The Mullins
Center's sheer size could potentially render the trap use-
less and force the Friars to unwillingly open up their
game.
Kellogg comes home
with rival Brunson
By Justin C. Smith
Collegian Staff
Tonight's exhibition match-up between the
Massachusetts men's basketball team and the Converse
All -Stars will feature some familiar faces for the fans. They
spent four years cheering one. and four years jeering the
other.
UMass alum Derek Kellogg spent his entire college career
as a guard for the Minutemen. Kellogg was a part of all four
Atlantic 10 Championship teams and was named to three
straight A- 10 All-Academic teams.
Rick Brunson. a Salem native and three-year starter at
Temple, will be in the back court for the Converse
squad.
Kellogg and Brunson had spent their entire college
careers as arch-rivals, both point guards in the volatile
Temple- Massachusetts rivalry.
This will be the No. 7 ranked Minutemen's second and
final tune up for the regular season, which will begin Nov.
28 at the Palace of Auburn Hills when they take on pre-
season No. 1 Kentucky Wildcats in the Great Eight
Tournament.
UMass' first exhibition game was a 105-75 thrashing of
the Russian based Dinamo team Nov. 7. The winning mar-
gin wasn't indicative of the way the Minutemen played in
the contest since UMass uncharacteristically made an abun-
dance of turnovers.
Bright spots for the Minutemen included the play of
Carmelo Travieso who reigned in 18 points as he shot
7 for 15 from the field including four from three-point
land.
Marcus Camby scored a team high 24 points against
Dinamo and Dana Dingle contributed 17 to the UMass
cause.

Darden relays significance of trial
By Chris Conner
Cdlegian Staff
O.I. Simpson trial prosecutor
Christopher Darden may have sur-
prised many in attendance at Smith
College's lohn M Greene Hall on
Saturday by opting to focus much of
his hour-long speech on the often
overlooked aspect of the controver-
sial case — domestic violence.
However, despite the serious
nature of his primary topic and that
of the other issues addressed sur-
rounding the Simpson case and soci-
ety itself. Darden demonstrated a
sense of humor unseen by the mil-
lions of American television viewers
who watched the Los Angeles
Deputy District Attorney during the
l6-^nonth ordeal.
'See. I do smile sometimes."
Darden quipped after the standing
ovation which followed his introduc-
tion.
He was also quick to dispel recent
rumors of his engagement to fellow
Simpson prosecutor District Attorney
Marcia Clark.
"Tm not engaged to Marcia," he
said. "She hasn't asked me yet. But
when she does she better have a big
ring."
Although moments of banter
would continue throughout the
evening. Darden soon altered his
tone, first thanking the audience for
their support of him.
"I'm honored to be here with real
Americans, real patriots." he said.
"People who believe in justice."
Referring to the Simpson trial as a
"lough case." Darden said the prose-
cution should have been victorious,
but added that "God works in myste-
rious ways."
"Wc may have lost the battle, but
we haven't lost the war." he said.
"It's a war against domestic vio-
lence."
Continuing on the theme of
domestic abuse. Darden said he
regarded battering a companion as "a
cowardly act." and warned current
batterers of what he claimed to view
as a new legal and societal perspec-
tive on such activities.
"The tides are changing." he said.
"Baby luslice"
Drawing from his own personal
experience with domestic violence in
arraignment court with an individual
he described as a handsome and a
seemingly upstanding citizen. Darden
wove the harrowing tale of
21 -year-old Cornelius Lee.
According to Darden. his initial
impression of Lee was destroyed
upon reading Lee's files, which
revealed the recent history of a man
who would eventually murder a
five-month-old child.
"'How could this be?'" Darden
said he asked himself in disbelief.
"'How could this happen?"
As it turns out. Darden said. Lee
had been seeing an 18- year-old
woman for four weeks, and had
become increasingly obsessive about
the relationship. When the woman
decided to cease contact with him
because of his behavior. Lee first
begged for forgiveness, and. after she
repeatedly rejected him, turned to
stalking.
On one evening, according to
Darden, the woman was awakened
by noise outside her window only to
find Lee, who escaped before police
arrived, on the roof adjacent to hers.
Soon after the roof incident. Lee
was to commit the heinous crime
which landed him in arraignment
court, Darden said.
"There was a fuse burning in
Cornelius that night in Brentwood."
he said.
Seeking revenge for his ex-girl-
friend's refusal to see him. Lee threw
gasoline, followed by a match,
through into her lighted room one
night, unaware that the women's
mother was the neighborhood
babysitter, and that his victim would
be the infant asleep on the bed under
the open window.
Of the onlookers to the tragedy.
Darden said there was only one will-
ing to attempt to retrieve the child
from the flame-engulfed home.
"I call that baby. Baby justice.'" he
said, explaining his metaphor by
drawing a comparison to the passive
crowd outside the burning house and
the Simpson jurors. "We shouldn't be
disillusioned just because they didn't
have the courage."
PoM-O.I, life
"I know that many of you were
upset with the verdict, and I know
that you know that I was very upset
with the verdict," said Darden. who
broke down in tears at a pt)st trial
press conference.
Darden said that when he returned
home following the close of the case.
he did not watch television or read
newspapers for a time, but did open
the thousands of letters he received
over the course of the trial. Although
he was pleased with many of the sen-
timents expressed. Darden said the
abusive content of some letters dis-
turbed him deeply.
"I'm going to write a book and
publish some of the letters where
people called me names." he said.
"I'm glad they did because now I'm
going to make money off them."
Race seemed to play a major role
in the letters as well. Darden noted, a
trend he said annoyed him in some

Sleep-out raises $300
for homeless shelters
By Amy H. Paradyu
CoHegtan Staff
Twenty-one students spent
Friday night sleeping outdoors in
20 degree weather, with only card
board boxes insulated with news
paper as shelter and a fire in a
garbage can for heat. Through
their sponsors, they raised $J00
for local homeless shelters.
Altogether, the University of
Massachusetts chapter of
MASSPIRG raised about $2000
during National Hunger and
Homelessness Week. Nov lJ-17.
as well as collecting canned fcHxl
and clothing.
The week's activities ended
with a Five College fundraising
concert and the sleep-out.
Three hundred pet>ple attended
the concert in the basement of
Butterfield Residence Hall, which
featured the Smithereens from
Smith, Greenly Spirit. Bradley
Skaight. Clovis Point and the Chet
Keefe band. The performance
brought in $500 for the Food
Bank of Western Mass. and about
IlK) canned goods for the Amherst

Stacey Shackford. c(H>rdinator of
the Hunger and Homelessness

The sleep out was just as suc-
cessful in terms of fundraising.
even though there were only 21
sponsored participants. Jennifer
Iveson. a volunteer coordinator
for MASSPIRG. raised $170 —
more than half the total income

Attorney Chrijtopher Darden spoke at Smith College's John M. Greene
Hall Saturday evening.
Darden audience lacks diversity
By Chris CofNwr
CoU«gion Staff
A predominantly white crowd,
comprised mainly of middl«-«ged
people, filed mio John M. Greene
Hall at Smith College Saturday
evening to see 0.|. Simpson case
prosecutor Christopher Darden.
Although the auditorium was
not filled to capacity, many of the
people present said l^ey had fol
lowed the trial on some level, artd
were drawn to the Darden speech
to hear a key perspective.
"I'm here just out of personal
interest," said Hadley resident
Bob Cummings, Sr. "I couldn't
stand to watch (the trial) on the
telly, so I thought I'd get it first
hand."
On the other end of the spec-
trum were University of
Massachusetts alumni lean and
George Gromacki, residents of
Deerfield, both of whom avidly
watched the trial from start to fin-
ish.
"We always watched Chris
Darden," said jean Gromacki,
who added that between she and
her lawyer husband, they saw the
majority of the trial. "We were
really just impressed with Chris,
especially with his closing argu-
ment. We think he did a fantastic
job."
First-year University student
Dara Ijivinson was one of the few
in the collegiate ranks to attend
the speech.

University of Massachusetts sopho-
more Chavd Radin had some trouble
sleeping one night during her fresh-
man orientation. Looking for some-
thing to cK:cupy her lime, she started
leafing through a booklet on
University resources.
It was at this point that Radin says
she enci>untered an item that changed
her life, a "little blurb" on the 2 in 20
Floor fur Gay, Letbian, Bisexual.
Transgender Students and Their
Heterosexual Allies.
The next day. feeling she "had a lot
of guts," Radin decided to mark her
Housing Preference Form with a deti
sion to move to the ncK)r. one of the
University's several Special Interest
Residential Programs (SIRP)
The following September. Radin
m<.>ved her things to the fourth fltK)r
of Mary Lyon Residence Hall She had
virtually no idea of what to expect.
By contrast. University students
who attend the 2 in 20 Roor's Open
House tonight at 7 p.m. in the Mary
Lyon basement will be greeted with a
wealth of information on the program.
In addition to presentations on the
floor's history and moving in proce-
dure, prospective residents will hear
stories by current residents and be
welcomed for a tour of the residence
hall itself.
The 2 in 20 Floor was created in the
fall of 1992 to serve two functions in
the on-campus residential community.
First, the program pro^ide^ physical
and emotional salely for residents by
shielding them from homophobic
harassment that sometimes exists in
University residence halls
"I did not want to go thniugh wlut
I went through in high Nchool." Radin
says, making relereiKe to harassment
she received as a lesbian at her high
school in Willianisiown
"1 was harassed and had to hide my
orientation from my friends." she says.
"I knew that no matter how strange a
place (the 2 in 20 F-1iH)ri might be, I
coukj always hang up wluitever posters
1 wanted to and talk like I wanted to.'
The second reason for the SIRP is
to foster a sense of community among
GLBT students and their heterosexual
allies, many of whom ftave never had
to opportunity to interact with GLBT
people before arriving at the
University
"I did not know a single gay person
my own age until I moved here."
Radin says. "1 only knew like five or
six (GLBT) people and they were
aniund 40."
Since moving to the floor a year
ago. Radin has found the freedom to
be a lot more open about her life than
she had ever been before
"It was such a relief... so different
from high school," Radin recalls.
adding that she spent most of her first
semester "saying everything I'd want-
ed to say in my whole entire time in
high school."
6'day shutdown over, Professor awarded for encouraging computer research
both sides feel victory
By Dove Skidmore
Associoted Press
WASHINGTON - The Clinton
administration and Republican con-
gressional leaders ended a six-day
budget standoff Sunday night, send-
ing federal employees back to work
after the White House committed to
speedy negotiations to balance the
budget in seven years.
"Tomorrow the government will
go back to work and now the debate
will begin in earnest," President
Clinton said, appearing in the White
House press room shortly after the
deal was announced. By voice votes,
the Senate and House adopted iden-
tical one-day measures to reopen the
government. The Senate also
approved a bill funding the govern-
ment through Dec. 15 and the
House planned to follow on
Monday.
Both sides declared victory —
Republicans because the deal
reflected their seven-year timetable
and Clinton because it spoke of pro-
tecting programs he considers
important.
Senate Budget Committee
Chairman Pete Domenici (R-N.M.)
said. "I hope in the next three or
four weeks we will produce a bal-
anced budget with the president on
board."
In the four-week spending bill, the
White House and Republicans
agreed the balanced budget legisla-
tion would "protect future genera-
tions, secure Medicare solvency.
reform welfare, provide adequate
funding for Medicaid, education,
agriculture, national defense, veter-
ans and the environment."
The bill does not. as the White
House had sought, raise the govern-
ment's $4.9 trillion borrowing ceil-
ing However, private experts agree
the Treasury Department can avoid
the ceiling for months by tapping
retirement trust funds set aside for
the civil service,
Sunday's agreement followed a
long day of negotiating against a
backdrop of restlessness among fed-
eral employees and the public. Forty
percent of the federal work force —
nearly 800,000 employees — have
been on furlough.
In a compromise that was key to
the agreement, the two sides said
the Congressional Budget Office will
measure whether or not any eventu-
al budget deal eliminates deficits,
but only after consulting with the
White Ffouse and other government
and private economists.
The argument over whose techni-
cal and economic assumptions are
used is important because the White
House budget office's forecast
would permit nearly $500 billion
more in spending over seven years
than the congressional office's pre-
diction.

(R-Kan.) and House Speaker Newt
Gingrich (R Ga.) and their chief
deputies held a news conference

The University of Massachusetts
computer science department cre-
ates technology to change the way
people live and work, and it has
received recognition for those
achievements.
For example, the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science chose Professor William
Richards Adrion as a fellow.
When asked why the association
recognized him. Adrion mentioned
his re-organization of the research
programs in the computer science
department during his tenure as
head of the department.
Adrion said that one of his goals
upon arrival at the University was to
diversify computer research. Before
he came to UMass. all computer
research was focussed on traditional
computing such as hardware and
operating systems, but he encour
aged research in "lower" technology
such as cars, home appliances and
various other consumer electronics.
In addition to fostering computer
research in other technologies, he
said he continued supporting tradi-
tional research.
Computer research
In 1992. the National Science
Foundation granted the University
money to continue advanced com-
puter research, said Adrion. The
grants were used to officially form
different programs with in the com-
puter science department. The
research in non-traditional applica-
tions of computers was renamed the
Center for Real-Time Intelligent
Complex Computing Systems, and
the traditional research program was
named Center of Intelligent
Information Retrieval.
The retrieval organization con-
ducts research in data retrieval and
archiving. The retrieval organization
created a world wide web search
program knowm as INQUIRY.
INQUIRY searches web pages in a
unique manner, said Robert Cook,
senior systems programmer. He
explained that most search pro-
grams simply scan for bold text, but
INQUIRY scans all the text.
Another distinctive feature is its
ease of use. Cook said A full sen-
tence may be typed in. and the com-
puter will search for the sentence
rather than each word as a separate
keyword.
The search program is currently in

Charles Murray to speak in Dec.
Visitors Program tries to bring speakers in a variety of fields

By Gregory Casimir
Collegian Stoff
The next guests of the Distinguished Visitors Program
(DVP) will be Charies Murray, co-author of the contro-
versial book, "The Bell Curve", and Harvard professor
Alvin Poussaini, both of whom will speak at the
Univershy of Massachusetts on Dec. 4.
"The DVP provides students an opportunity to learn
about a variety of topics like culture, entertainment,
journalism and science,' said Treasurer Raphael
Maryakhin.
The program was started about 50 years ago with the
purpose of bringing speakers from a wide variety of
fields to give students lectures, debates, and discussions
on any activity of the human experience, according to
Maryakhin.
"We also have political commentaries on urgent
issues, which is a big concern for us," he said.
Among some of the visitors who have come to the
University of Massachusetts via the DVP have been
Chuck D, of the rap group Public Enemy and author
Kurt Vonnegui. Last week. Katie Koestner, who had
previously appeared in Time magazine, spoke about her
experience with date rape.
However, the DVP has to contend with is the com
plaints that it doesn't represent the needs of the stu-
dents, according to Greaves.
"We encourage any one with ideas to come forth," she
said. "Anyone can become a member. We try to get a
large number of people with different personal inter-
ests."
Greaves said DVP has to deal with a recent budget cut
of 10 percent.
"Before, all of our functions were free." she said. "Bui
because of the cut, we have to charge non-students now."
Maryakhin said a friend who was a DVP member at
the time, and has since graduated, got him involved.
"I sort of ended up doing it," he said.
Maryakhin is now the DVP Treasurer, and a member
of the press committee.
The position of president for the past three years has
been held by Tara Greaves. As president. Greaves is
responsible for running DVP meetings, and is in charge
of the public relations between students and agents, and
the speakers that they request.

Smith College junior Laverne
Williams was another who said she
was intrigued by the premise of hear-
ing Darden speak.
"I just wanted to be here," she
said. 'I wanted to see what he has
planned for the future."
However, there were only a hand-
ful of blacks at the speech, which
addressed a trial whose outcome saw
major division between blacks and
whites in their opinions of the ver-
dict. George Gromacki offered his
reason as to why there may have
been a low black representation.
"I would probably say there aren'i
too many (Blacks) in the area unless
you count Holyoke and Springfield,"
he said.
Williams, herself black, gave
aiK>ther possible explanation.
"Maybe they were afraid of con-
frontation here," she said.

There are approximately 25,000
homeless people in Massachusetts,
and $20-60 million hungry people
worldwide, depending upon the
definition of hungry. Shackford
said.
First-year student Liz Carney,
who was involved in several of the
activities last week, said she
believes the environment in the job
market and "unforeseen circum-
stances" are primary causes of
homelessness.
"If you're living from paycheck
to paycheck, it's really hard to deal
with an emergency," Carney said.
"People don't acknowledge it
because there's such an aura of
shame around homelessness,"
Lourie said. 'A lot of people walk-
ing around looking like college stu-
dents are really homeless. It's just
not talked about."
Lourie said the sleep-out
"opened people's eyes to what the
problem is all about," especially
when students looked out their
windows and saw people sleeping

Homelessness Week also includ-
ed a clothing and canned food
drive. The clothing drive was
actually more successful than the
can drive, according to
Shackford, who said many stu-
dents were sorting through their
clothes before the Thanksgiving
holiday.
The Skip-A-Meal program was
the most financially successful pro-
gram of the week, bringing in
$1200 for the Food Bank of
Western Massachusetts.
MASSPIRG volunteers asked stu-
dents on the University meal plan
to sign up to skip a meal on Nov.
15. Food Services had agreed to
donate $1.50 per meal, and 800
students participated, Shackford
said.
The Supermarket Sweep, howev-
er, "didn't go as well as we
planned," Shackford said.
Although MASSPIRG had planned
to distribute "wish lists' with items
needed by local shelters and soup
kitchens, one major supermarket
would only allow a collection box,
not soliciting.
The Hunger Banquet at
Earthfoods, also on Nov. 1 5. illus-
trated the worldwide pattern of
food distribution. About 50 people
attended the dinner, raising about
$200.

alley in Maywood. about 10 miles to the east of this
Chicago suburb.
All three had been stabbed, and Ms. Evans also was
shot in the head.
Police said Elijah was cut out of his mother's womb
during the murders. They refused to give more details of
how the crime unfolded, sa>-ing the investigation is pend-

Poland's presidency goes to Communist
By Andrzej Stylinski
Associated Press
WARSAW, Poland — A polished
former Communist, Aleksander
Kwasniewski, defeated laded
Solidarity hero Lech Walesa by a slim
margin in a presidential runoff
Sunday, according to projections
from the stale polling agency.
Kwasniewski won 51.4 pereeni of
the vole to 48.6 percent for the
incumbeni, according lo unofficial
ballot results compiled by stale televi-
sion's OBOP agency from 1,150 of
22.472 precincts.
The projections had a 1 percent
margin of error, and Ihe race was so
close neither candidate acknowledged
victory or defeat. The election was a
symbolic duel between Poland's two
major postwar forces. Walesa keyed
his campaign lo fears of a
Communist resurgence while
Kwasniewski insisted he could be
trusted 10 transcend his party's totali-
tarian past.
Kwasniewski. 41. had already left
his headquarters when the projec-
tions were announced, triggering a
joyful frenzy among youthful cam
paign workers. They danced,
screamed and sang "May He Live 100
Years."
The 52year old Walesa never
appeared at his campaign headquar-
ters, where suppt)rters fell silent upon
hearing the news and slowly began
tiling out.
Walesa, the former Solidarity
leader, had steadily lost support dur-
ing his five year term. He looked
dour as he thanked supporters in a
brief appearance just after polls
closed and retired with his family.

Robots
Adrion said that under his leader-
ship, the Center for Autonomous
Real-Time Systems, a robotics
research group at UMass. continued
to further its studies of artificial
intelligence and helped begin the
process of realizing such theories of
"smart" assembly lines which can
dramatically cut costs of produc-
tion.
"Smart assembly lines will allow
for products specifically designed
for an individual." said lefferson
Coelho. a graduate student who is
researching robotics.
The University robotics lab is one
of only eight labs with a rare robotic
hand, and they have two arms
unlike most other labs, according to
Coelho. He said the UMass comput-
er science department was the First
to successfully use a robot to change
a light bulb without breaking it.
In addition to researching manip-
ulation with robotic arms, they are
researching locomotion, said gradu-
ate student Bill MacDonald. He said
they hope to create a robot which
can easily traverse rough terrain.
Marketing the retcarch
However, Adrion said these three
organizations had nowhere to go
with the research, so in 1988 he and
a few other professors at the
University helped create the Applied
Computing Systems Institute of
Massachusetts which assisted in find-
ing applications for the technology.
"Companies aren't interested in
basic research, but universities do
basic research for educational pur-
poses," Adrion said. "However, the
University isn't well structured to
develop the research," so the UMass
computer science deparimeni creat-
ed the institute.
Profits from the institute go to the
University which is re- directed
through out the campus, said
Adrion.
"(The instiiuiej does straight con-
tract work, but it must include basic
research because there is no advan-
tage in doing development unless the
University can benefit directly." he
said.
The institute is operated like a
company with a board of directors
which is made up of both individuals
of the University and the business
community. The institute does about
$1.5 million in business and only has
about 15 full time cmploycts.
Adrion said.
The American Association for the
Advancement of Science will award
Adrion with the fellowship in
February.

This robotics arm will pick up blocks and place them within the box. It

computer science re-organization
Professor William Richards
Adnon believes he was chosen
for the American Association for
the Advancement of Science
award because his re-organiza-
tion of the research programs in
the computer science department
at the University of Mass-
achusetts.
Yet. Adrion will not kitow the
official reason for the recognition
until he is made a fellow in
February.
'Most professionally societies
that have fellowships base it on
scientific achievement, while the
AAAS also recognizes people for
contribution to science policy or
etnic8tton* AoHuii Mict. *■'—- ■ — - -
He said he assumes he was rec-
ognized for both advancing sci-
ence education and policy.
Also, most associations which
grant fellowships often allow a
person lo simply request an appli-
cation while the American
Association for the Advancement
of Science has a committee which
chooses fellows, Adrion said.
The Association for Computing
Machinery also named him a fel-
low.
Adrion came to the University
about nine years ago to become
the head of the department, a
position which he held for eight
years.
Meanwhile, the computer sci-
ence department at the
University grew and diversified.
As a result, it began to receive

cases. Several people would indicate
their race in their introduction, he
said, and others even used racial epi-
thets.
"Some white writers used that
nasty little word that I basically
risked my life for to keep it out of the
courtroom," Darden said.
He added that others threatened
backlash against blacks both in the
political and business worlds, specifi-
cally looking to "destroy affirmative
action."
"I was trying lo stand up for every-
body." Darden said.
Race and the trial
In the wake of the Simpson trial,
many polls indicated a distinct
dichotomy between blacks and
whites in their beliefs about the valid-
ity of the jury's decision, leading
many to believe the verdict was
racially motivated due to the pres-
ence of nine blacks on the jury.
Darden said these claims were pre-
sumptuous from his perspective.
"I can't imagine how anyone can
come to the conclusion that the deci
sion was race-based if I haven't even
come lo thai conclusion," he said.
"I'm not saying it wasn't race- based,
but I'm not saying it was
race-based "
Darden also addressed the ques-
tion of what constitutes reasonable
doubt, a legal term he said judges in
California arc reluctant lo allow
lawyers to explain to jurors.
"We ask jurors lo use common
sense," he said. "But not everyone
has common sense, or what we per
ccive as common sense."
Yet Darden also said common
sense is relative lo "life experiences,"
especially those of blacks in urban
environments.
"You find comfort in hearing a
police siren here in Northampton."
he said. "In LA., when some people
hear a police siren, they tremble in
fear."
Recently, while a child stood near
by, a young black mother was shot
seven limes — six times in the back
— by Los Angeles Police Department
officers, Darden said.
"I bet if it had been the
Northampton Police Deparimeni,
that mother would still be alive." he
said.
In his own family, Darden said,
there was an incident which would
give him an understanding of racial
injustice at an early age. Darden's
grandfather. Waller, was shot and
killed in the 1930s in Decatur,
Georgia by an angry while landowner
incensed by the sharecropper's defi-
ance of a while citizen.
According lo Darden, his relatives
were neither able lo remove the body
from the shallow grave into which it
was buried, nor could they press
charges against the killer. Darden
said the murder and multiple similar
past travesties arc probably the basis
of the modern black outlook on the
legal process, including that of the
black jurors.
"If [the murder] is the foundation
of our experience," he said. "Then
what is the basis of the jurors' experi-
ence."

Chaos in Palestine
Israel \kill never find peace with the Palestinians until
the Palestinians find peace amongst themselves. The
Palestinian peoples are blindly led into the future.
while I heir leaders savagely fight to gain recognition as
the autliority of the Palestinian movement.
The Palestinian Liberation Organization, led by the
iK>iv>nous Yassir Arafat, has realized, after many years of
leirorisi acts against the Israeli's and the rest of the
vvorld. that peace will not be achieved through those
means. Arafat's struggle has changed its objectives from
obtaining Israel in its entirely to receiving a few selected
area^ along the Mediterranean coastline, and in the Hills
of ludca and Samaria. Arafat's Kaffiyeh that once symbol-
ized terrorism and violence now is a
gical symbol of the Palestinian peo-
ple He has realized that only through
peace can he reach his goals.
Arafat has already visited Leah
Rabin twice in Tel Aviv to pay
respects for her husband's death He
has openly referred to Yitzhak Rabin
as a "friend." and shared his condo-
lences with the rest of Israel. That "*,.,..
commendable, but unfortunately the tnCir OOJeCtive. / dotl '/
rest of his people don't feel that way. fUlt-ib en

the school children and
peaceful farmers of the
Northern towns of
Israel they will achieve
Guy Chayoun
There are many extremist groups
among the Palestinians who are
against peace and the peace process
with Israel. These groups still hold
(asi to the aspiration of conquering all of Israel
Uniortunately. a larger percentage of the Palestinians are
in support of these extremist groups, such as the derelicts
in the radical "Hamas* faction, than of the peaceful move-
inenl of Arafat.
The Palestinians should not easily be forgiven for all Ihe
.miK-s they have committed throughout this half of the
century. The terrorist acts that put the world in fear were
all done by a people who notoriously arc afraid of the
dark. We should not forget the airline hijacking that
plagued the 1470s. all in the name of the Liberation of
Palestine.
More recently, we should not overlook the bombing on
nizcngofi Street that killed many innocent victims last
year Was the sacrifice of those people who were drinking
coltec. and enjoying the weather on Di^engoff Street
imperative to freeing the Palestinians Iroiii their
"bondage"? Or earlier this year, when a Kitnb was set oft
in a bus in Icrusalem killing a number ol innocent victims,
including an American siudcni Irom Brandeis University
— did that help their nKnement'.' Maybe by attacking the
school children and peacelul farmers of the Northern
towns of Israel they will achieve their objective. I don't
think so.
How can Americans sympathize with a people thai has
preached hatred for the "American Capitalists" in order to
gain favor from the closed ears of the other Arab nations'.'
How soon have we forgotten thai the Palestinians favored
Saddam Hussein and Iraq in the Gulf war'.'
_^_^_^__^_^_ Even the other Arab nations mini
mally sympathize with the
Palestinians: it stems more from spite
lor Israel, than genuine sympathy.
Egypt refused to take the area of
Gaza when they were offered it. not
wanting to bring more problems to
their own country. If their own Arab
brothers can turn their backs on
them, what is Israel supposed to do'.'
There is a total lack of democracy
in the Palestinian world. Leadership
is gained through military power and
intimidation rather than the will of
the people. Dp until recently, every
lime a new leader would talk aKml
making peace with the lews, he would suiter a brutal
death or maiming. Even today, the dillerent Arab (actions
in the occupied territory are killing each other off like
flies.
The Palestinians cannot seem to agree on anything
regarding their state of existence. Arafat works toward
peace, while the other groups work to stop him. If land
were to be granted to the Palestinian people, a blocKlv
civil war within the "liberated Palestine" would erupt,
while the world (including the Arab countriesi would sit
back and watch. The Palestinians as a people need to
decide where they wish to go in the future, and then lake
diplomatic steps to reach that destination. Until then, the
chaotic savagery that is going in the c>ccupied territories
will continue. Wake up Palestine

The stigma of therapy
A couple of weeks ago, I had
just gotten off the bus at
Haigis Mall when I ran into
a Iriend (I'll call her fill). We
slopped and had the usual
chit-chat that occurs when you run
into someone on Haigis Mall.
"Where are you headed?" she
asked.
"I'm on my way to Tobin for
therapy." I answered.
"Oh. you have therapy in Tobin
- where'.' The Psychological
Services Center?" she replied.
"Yes," I said. "You don'l have to
'l|^per the word "therapy' like its
a I'lad word."
"I know," she said rather
cmbarrassedly.
"Therapy, therapy. THERAPY.
THERAPY." I yelled at the lop of
my lungs.
My friend |ill blushed and
seemed rather embarrassed that I
had no qualms about going to
therapy.
"I don't mind telling you that
I'm going to therapy — its some-
thing I do for myself." I said. "See
you later "
As I walked off. I thought about
the long road I had travelled to gel
to the point where I was now.
I grew up in a dysfunctional and
abusive home and was beaten by
my mother on a regular basis. I
moved out when I was 16 and
moved around, lived with a foster
family and then eventually wound
up in a homeless shelter for
teenagers. When I first moved out,
I started therapy and have contin-
ued on a regular basis since then. I
have had five therapists, with ther-
apy a little more different each
time.
I have a lot of anger to deal with
towards my mom and a lot of hurt
that I need to deal with. I have
many long-buried memories that I
suddenly remember. I have to real-
ize why the things I do now are
because of how my mom treated
me and what I can do to fix them.
However, there is a stigma
attached to therapy. For thousands
of years, the mentally ill and those
seeking therapy have been the
subject of criticism, ridicule,
ostracization. punishment and
My friend fill blushed
and seemed rather
embarrassed that I had
no qualms about going
to therapy.

even death.
Hitler had hundreds of thou-
sands of the mentally ill shot with
drugs and then burned to hide the
bodies. Their families were told
that they had died of pneumonia.
During the "505 and '60s.
dozens of "sanitariums" in the
United States and Europe were
exposed for being little more than
giant cainps. The people who lived
there were treated like animals,
allowed to wallow in filth and
were beaten and raped on a regu-
lar basis.
People who are institutionalized
for their mental illness or are
"found out" by others have often
lost their jobs, families and support
networks.
I uscxl to be very afraid that if I
told anyone I saw a therapist and
suffered from chronic depression. I
would lose everything I had and be
ridiculed for my "weakness."
My third therapist helped me
solve my problem with the stigma
of therapy by telling me to liKik at
it another way. I don't have to look
at therapy as a way of curing an
"illness." There is nothing "wamg"
with me; I am trying to look at
how I can belter inyselL She sim-
ply said. "Going to therapy is like
taking a class in yourself."
"You learn about who you are
and why you are that way." she
continued. "There's nothing wrong
with you. Lots of people go to
therapy for long periods and short
periods — there's nothing wrong
with questioning who you are and
what you believe."
I believe that my therapy helps
me. I believe that it helps nic to
cope with the stress and anger in
my life. It is the only place in my
life where I can go and say any-
thing I want, feel anything 1 feel,
and know that there arc no reper-
cussions. It is where I go to unlock
the door that keeps all the bad stuff
inside.
There's nothing wrong with ther-
apy — only with the people who
believe there is something wrong
with therapy.

The fathers handbook of knowledge
Tim
White
I want "The Book" now.
I have a theory about fathers, and it all revolves
around "The Book."
My lather knows everything. I mean ei-erylfiing. We
could be in Paris, Lrance and the man would know the
back r\.)ads.
"Hey Dad. you've been here before?"
"Nope "
My Dad taught me how to score a baseball game, tried
to teach nic a curve-ball (sorry about the shiner. Dadi
He knows the best restaurants in every
maior city and what to order there. He
probably knows jesus Christ's shoe size. I
just hayen'l asked him yet.
I was thinking about all of this the
other dav and I realized that my Dad was
in his eaHy 20s when my parents had my oldest brother.
That really scared mc. I have no plans to have a kid any
time soon, but I still have to call my Dad and ask him
about stuff like changing the oil in my car or how to
barK'cue.
When am / going to obtain this knowledge? Well, don't
wvrrv men. I've come up with Ihe answer: when you have
your first child, you get "The Book."
The Bovik has all ihe inloriiiation a father needs: how to
lix the car. tie knots, make flies for Hy fishing, how to
build a deck, how to play hockey (hell, every sport, even
curling) and how to deal with the injuries you gel from
those sports. There a million other things. I just haven't
iit'eded the answers yet.
So. this how I figure it's going to happen: I'll still be in
my hospital skivvies Iresh from the delivery room when a
man in an all while suit and a heavy southern drawl will
approach.
"Mr. White?"
"Yes?"
"Congratulations on the spud."
"Spud:""
"Yeah, the kid... here. I have a gift lor you."
"Um. do I know you?"
He'll hand me a package, in it will be a thick black
book with gold letters that glow on the fri>nl reading "The
Book."
"Now. don't lose this," he'll say. "You can never get
another."
"I'm sorry, you really fa-ak ine out. could you go iK)w?"
"lust tead it Mr. While. I have to be going anywav...
Excuse me. Mr. lohnson? Congratulations on the spud."
The key point is. you can't lose the
book Those arc the fathers that don't
know what's going on and have that blank
look on them like a deer caught in head-

Idiots surfing the Internet
Iust when you thought it was safe
lu travel the information super
highway, you crash into a road-
ock .As with any other source of
coininunication, some idiots have to
abuse it. In this case not only did
someone abuse the system, but they
used it to spout violence. These
weren't extremists or crotchety, old
men; these were 18-year-old Ivy
Leaguers.
Free speech and advanced technol-
ogy might not make such good bed-
tellows. You give someone a new way
to spread their message to millions of
listeners, and there is bound to be
trouble. Instant communication via
e-mail is a relatively new phenomena
for me.
I thought it was pretty cool to talk
to my out-of-state friends minus the
hetiv phone bills. I haven't quite mas-
tered the art of "surfing the net."
though. I never imagined the power
these computer screens could hold.
Powerful and disheartening images
have been on our illustrious informa-
tion super highway these days. In
particular, four Cornell University
freshmen took it upon themselves
three weeks ago to use the Internet
lor a joke amongst friends. The hilar-
ious cyber garble they sent, which
was called. "Top 75 reasons why
bitches should not have freedom of
speech" landed in cyber space with a
bang.
I think I have a pretty good sense
of humor. I don't even flinch when I
hear about the numerous nude shots
one can download in the comfort of
their own l.azce-boy. Computer
tlorks will have their fun. right? I do
not. however, find "jokes" that
depenil upi>n images of raping
women the slightest bit amusing.
In their defense, the lour students
claimed that everything they included
on their list could be seen on leleyi-
sion. in music lyrics or newspapers.
This is a claim that's getting a little
hard to swallow. Yes, these are mes-
sages present in today's popular cul-
According to the "four
players of Cornell "
they ne\>er intended to
offend anyone. With
lines like. "If she can't
speak she can't cry
rape," I'd say those
excuses will fall on deaf
ears. No television
show, song or movie
could incite someone to
make these violent
rules of thumb.

ture, hut this docs not riieun we are
responsible lo perpetuate this cycle.
The men also insisted this list was
to be circulated as a joke among their
circle of friends. My guess is Ihey
knew exactly what to do with a com
pulcr. An inexperienced user like
myself can barely log off. never mind
espouse my political views to millions
of screen watchers.
More important than the number
of people viewing the message, was
the message itself. There were 75
lines devoted to the supposed come-
dy of violent acts against women. The
comic value was lost on me. I guess.
This goes beyond the boundaries of
political incorrectness; it's vile and
vicious. I've tried to see the infinite
wisdom of these individuals to sug-
gest that sexually assaulting women
is adequate comic relief. Sorry, can't
happen I'm just pissed.
According lo the "four players of
Cornell." they never intended to
offend anyone. With lines like. "If she
can't speak she can't cry rape." I'd

If one has a brain, then one can

and what is wrong. Funny. I don't
ever remember some<.)nc taking me
aside when I was young telling me
that rape was OK. or that women

iheni called) must continue "Take

slanily bitch about the need lor
women to organize and speak out
against these crimes, but as long as
idiots like these continue to spread

Always a little
sister to me
My little sister is finally growing up and I'm not
quite sure how to handle it. True, she is
19-years-old and a sophomore in college, but to
me. she has always been my little sister.
Take into consideration that she's about 5' 8" and could
more than likely beat the crap out of me. She got the
height and the build from my father's side of the family.
Because she's a quarter Fin. my brother (patron saint of
degrading nicknames — he dubbed me "lizard" in 6th
grade) calls her "The Viking." Last semester, my Mom
called her hysterical because
|en hugged her too hard and
bruised her ribs. Now every
time len comes close to hug-
ging me. my Mom screams.
"Put her down. Mother of
God. you'll snap her in two!"
|en and I will laugh just like we always do when my
Mom overreacts. When we were smaller we never got
along and it was only recently that I came lo honestly say
that she's one of my best friends. She has always been
down to earth, and I'm always the one urging her to try
something new. We balance each other out and it's a good
feeling.
I guess K*n is what you would call a home body. She has
always been content to sit with my Mom. do odd errands
and just stay in on the weekend. More than likely, this
summer I'd be home maybe an hour per day tops, but you
can guarantee that she'll be there after work watching
movies with my Mom until I I p.m. and then going
straight to bed.
The biggest thing she's ever done was go dog sledding
in Michigan. She loves the winter and spent a week sleep-
ing on frozen lakes, eating a pound of butter a day and
watching out for frost bite. But she had a blast, and it was
one of the few times she actually left the house.
When she first went off to college she came home every
weekend crying about how she missed home. She just
wasn't content anywhere else.
But things change, she's changed and I'm not quite sure
how or when or even why it happened. Maybe it's because
I'm never home or the fact that I was the "first" to leave
the nest, but I look back and can't help but say. 'What the
hell happened?"
I guess it all started when my bivihcr called mc with
the story about her driving up to Syracuse with a person I
don't particularly like and how she got several phone
numbers shoved at her in a bar. Maybe it was the fact that
she goes to the park with a bunch of guys and drinks like
a bloody fish, but tells my Mom she just likes the swings.
Or perhaps it was the stunning news that she is hanging
out with a 2 1 -year-old mechanic named Mark who wants
to double date with her and his friend's 4 1 -year-old
mother in Boston and then go and sleep over his house
later.
Call me crazy, but I think that was it.
My first impulse was the swear. The second to say, "there
is no way in hell my little sister is going to do that' and
finally my last response is a tentative — "Well, why not.'
I am a firm believer in action and the fact that life is
experienced by those who do rather than those who wish
they did and are now kicking themselves in the ass going
"what if... " That's how I learned. I never was content to
sit back and enjoy the ride.
And now. it's her turn to learn, and to be honest I'm
scared to death for her. And as much as I'd like to lock
her away and keep her in my head as the little girl who
played paper dolls with me and watched "The A-Team." I
can't. So when my Mom calls mc up an begs me to "talk
some sense into her." what will I do?
Well. I'm going to wish her the best of luck, be there
for support, encourage her to explore and tell her that no
matter what happens or what decisions she'll make later
in life — she'll always be my little sister.

Bulger has much to offer
To the Editor:
On Nov. 1 , I wrote the search committee to express my
support for Senate President William Bulger
I am a 1982 graduate of the University and was active
in student government at the time, serving as the Assistant
Attorney General from l«i8l to 1982. Today. I am
Director of Recruiting for Applebee's International. Inc..
in Kansas City. Applebee's is the fastest growing restau-
rant chain in America. I have met business leaders from
all over America and daily review dozens of resumes. I
understand the value of education. My UMass degree is
considered quite impressive in most parts of the country,
but its value is always linked lo people's current opinion
of the University.
As student populations decline, and budget dollars
grow lighter. UMass is in peril. William Bulger. I think
can play a pivotal role at this difficult time. He is an etfec-
tive and pragmatic leader and has always expressed a deep
commitment to education.
His candidacy should be lookcxi at closely, as it would
be a loss to all present, past and future students to lei a
man of his talent ivjt serve.

Article portrays Senate unfairly
To the Editor:
As a senator I was deeply offended by the Collegian's
front page story. "Senate Rejects Woman's Caucus." in
the Nov. 10 edition. I believe it was an unfair portrayal of
the intentions and practices of the Student Senate.
During Ihe Nov. 7 Senate meeting, the proposal for the
establishment of a Women's Caucus was rejected because
of the way in which it was presented. Senator David
Gafney. who presented the motion, felt that as a while
male he should speak for the thousands of women on
campus. He did not ask fc>r the help of. or consult, any of
the 28 women senators in the Student Senate
When questioned. Gafney could not provide specific
names of a supposed group of supporters of this motion.
The Senate itself was not infomic-d of this motion until
Wednesday, and was expected to vote blindly without
research on the topic. A majority of the Senate expressed
concerns that this pror>osaI was misleading and lacked
substance.
During the previous week's Senate meeting. Senator
Lawrence Piano tried to force an unannounced motion
concerning the formation of caucuses through the Senate
but failed. Because both of these motions were not sub-
mitted before-hand and did not go through the proper
channels, they look on an air of illegitimacy I felt that the
Woman's Caucus issue was a front that would establish a
precedent for the formation of other caucuses with less
desirable motives.
Specifically, they could be used to expand the personal
power of certain individuals within the Senate. Gafney
and his colleagues should give the rest of the Senate a lit-
tle more credit than lo expect us to support such under
handed devious acts.
The pas.sage of a motion with this kind of agenda would
damage credibility of the Senate. The senators who voted
against Gafney's proposal deserve praise, not the criticism
suggested by Allison Connolly's article. If in fact we do
form a Woman's Caucus, as I certainly expect we shall,
we must do it for the right reasons, not to further some-
one's personal agenda The members of Ihe Senate take
their jobs very seriously and when a motion is passed or
defeated there is always justification.
I feel that the reponer emphasized the minority's posi-
tion for the sole purpose of sensationalism. Reporters
should always strive for objectivity, and stories like this
degrade the quality of the Collegian.

Blowing up TV after CHiPs
Kill Your Television.
These were three words
that I recently spotted on a
car which was littered with a sea of
tacky and rather obnoxious bumper
stickers. But instead of passing this
one off as just another politically
correct slogan on the back of some
blecxiing heart's Volkswagen bug, I
actually began to think about its
intent.
Maybe we
should blow our
boob tubes sky
high. Might as well,
since there really
isn't much to waich
these days. I mean
television shows
just aren't what
they use to be.
Gone are those stu-
pid sitcoms that
you loved so much as kids
("Three's Company," 'The Brady
Bunch." "Good Times." etc.).
Instead, we get family-orientated
show after family- orientated
show.
This made me reevaluate what I
watch when I'm killing lime
between doing all that studying (if
any of my professors are reading,
brownie points will be accepted).
So now for the first time ever I
bring you The Matt Audette Guide
to What's Good on Television.
Here goes:
1.) "CHiPs" — Can't go wrong
with this classic. First off it has one
of the finest theme songs ever (I
can't for the life of me remember
how it goes, but 1 know it's cool
when I hear it). Plus, it is really
swell how Ponch and lohn can
casually talk to each other as
they're racing down the highway at
80 mph. Someone recently told me
that they were really just riding on
the back of a trailer. My "CHiPs"
dreams were forever shattered —
but I'm learning to cope.
2.) "My So-Called Life" —
Granted there are only I") episodes
— but what great episodes. I
secretly have a crush on Claire
Danes (I know, she's
only I 6-years old,
but I bet ihey arc a
very mature 16
years), and the sim-
ple fact of the matter
is that these kids are
cooler than you or I
will ever be.
3.) "The Monkees"
— Okay, so they
don't show it on TV
anymore, but my
housemates happen to have every
single episode on tape. Wacky,
wacky stuff with great songs lo
boot. It's too bad most of these
shows are impossible to see. but if
you're a cute girl who likes "The
Monkees," you're welcome to come
over and watch anytime.
4.) "The Price Is Right" — Come
on, admit it — you get a rush when
Rod yells. 'Come on down!" Bob
Barker is the coolest host (I firmly
believe that he didn't have an affair
with the Showcase Showdown
bimbo), and an animal rights
activist, too. I especially love it
when he reminds you lo gel your
animals neutered at the end of the
show (I've actually only seen him
do it once, but it was pretty cool).
Plus, one word — "Plinko."
Enough said.
5.) "The Religious Channel" —
There are a couple different ones,
depending on what cable company
you subscribe lo. I'm not actually
religious at all, but these stations
are so bizarre, it is almost hypnot-
ic. The other day I was watching a
bunch of old people saying the
"Hail Mary" over and over, while
images of scenic areas and people
doing nice things for each other
floated by. My housemate eventual-
ly told mc lo change the channel
because it was scaring her. I did —
I think I was beginning to scare
myseir
6.) "The Simpsons" —
Everybody likes "The Simpsons."
Simply the best show going right
now.
7.) "MTV's Sandblast" — |usi
kidding. Why is this on. and does
anybody actually watch it?
8.) "Ripley's Believe It Or Not"
— Okay. I admit it. I just like hear-
ing the dude say. "Believe It... Or
Not?" I once saw a cool episode
though about a woman who built a
house out of garbage. I guess that
was just a bonus
9.) "The Twilight Zone" — The
old ones, which can be seen on Ihe
Sci-Fi Channel. I'm completely
convinced that Rod SeHing was a
genius. Doesn't get much better
than this.
10.) "Baywatch" — Err... ahh. I
really like the... ahh... quality writ-
ing. Yeah, that's it, quality writing
(I think I'm busted).
Well, there you have it. I hope you
tune in and enjoy. Me? I'm eventual-
ly going to kill my television, but
right now "CHiPs" is on and I really
having nothing better to do.

Letters to the Editor
SCERA misunderstood
To the Editor:
This letter is response lo the Nov. 16 Collegian article,
"SCERA rallies again to fight proposed financial aid cuts'
There was a misunderstanding between myself and the
writer of the article concerning welfare reform. SCERA
opposes any measure to balance the federal budget that
would cut student financial aid. However, SCERA does
not support cutting any federally funded programs,
including welfare, to save financial aid. I regret the misun-
derstanding between myself and the writer and hope the
matter is cleared up.

FLATBOY responds
To the Editor:
Well, once again Project FLATBOY has been maligned
and slandered by the University of Massachusetts free
press. Of course, there are the normal cartoon appear-
ances (although we have been suspiciously left out of
Brian Marchionni's Top Ten List). We enjoy these, but the
"creator' of fiultah has seen fit to not only insult us in her
comic, but has headed further down the primrose path
and utter imbecility. Yes, Dahling has written of the horri-
ble FLATBOY
She has accused us of covering Bullerfield with our
stickers and violating the loving community of her domii
lory. Damnable lies. I tell you. I went lo a show in ihe
basement and handed out stickers. That is all. I wasn't
sigivxl in to the building, and as a matter of a fact, was
not even allowed upstairs to use the restroom.
Therefore, my slow-wilted friends (those of you who
contribute to Huttahl, it was obviously Bullerfield resi-
dents or their guests who perpetrated these abhorrent acts
of vandalism. I don't care if people don'l like us. just
don'l make up lies against us. There are plenty of real
things you could trash us about, so please choose one of
these in the future Thank vou

PC language full of
denial and pretense
To the Editor:
This is in response to Geri Sahn's column.
"Underestimating the Power of Words " The author stated
in closing, "And this. PC bashers, is the reason why this
country nec"ds to redefine and control words and use."
Control? I feel as though this concerned author who
obviously has a distaste for systems of inc-quality and hate,
(as do I) has been seriously misled in terms of the lunc
tion of politically correct language, and in terms ol what
the real problem is.
In my opinion, political correctness was an ingenious
linguistic invention which only serves to better the power
systems of this country, not to benefit those who are being
systematically oppressed. It's goal is to give people and
systems who truly are racists, or sexist, or homophobic,
the ability to delude the individuals with whom they Inter-
act into believing they are actually color-blind,
gender-blind, sexuality-blind, and ethnicity-bliiKl, when
that is not the reality.
Also, those like myself who do not believe in our coun-
try's systems of power, hale and oppression should most
definitely not censure ourselves or partake in this lan-
guage that's been created to appease the oppressed, to
relax the white middle-class, and to protect those in
power.
Politically correct language is a "band-aid* solution to
a tremendous problem. "Band-aid" solutions usually
have the desired effect of deluding the blind masses into
believing that the problem itself has actually been
solved, that everything is OK now, and that anyone who
continues to speak out against the problem that the
all-healing band-aid was placed on. is just some irriiai
ing radical feeling sorry for themselves. It's what ihey
want.
If you are so truly concerned and angry about the state
of things, why in the world would you contradict yourself
and play into the scheme? You are underestimating the
power of words by condoning the use of this politically
correct crap, because you are not taking into account the
power that language has lo fool people, lo create a false
sense of reality that is inevitably created by this polilical-
ly-corrcet terminology.
It can fool masses of people into believing that the men-
tality of the country is actually changing, when it is not.
Only the terminology is changing. On the other hand, you
are over-estimating the power of pretentious terminology
in its ability to solve a problem that needs to be solved at
its core.
Using the politically correct terminology glosses over
the issues of ingrained hatred and fear; issues that must be
overcome and destroyed. The terminology is a mask to
manipulate us into believing thai the hate itself actually
has been destroyed, when il has not. To get to the true
problem and lo destroy it entails revolution, not "control"
of words or a protective, pretty language of denial and
pretense.

Mtilticulturalism summarized
To the Editor:
I read the two-plus page spread of multiculturalism
and Hernan Rozemberg's follow -up column in which he
asks why whites aren't responding and vyondcrs if they
have any Ideas about multiculturalism. Alter reading all
the columns. I believe I. a white guy. finally understand
the core of multiculturalism and can summarize it as fol-
lows.
White people have bad ancestors. White people must
be made to feel ashamed of their bad ancestors
Non-white people, or people of color, are gocKl people
They have good ancestors and gcHxl cultures Capitalism
IS bad because capitalists are greedy, racisi, sexist
homophobes. Free speech and the First Amendment are
bad because white people can say bad things and go
unpunished. Western or white culture is bad. America is
a bad country. Socialism is good because sharing is
good.
While people, especially inarticulate ones, who disagree
with Mulliculluralists are ignorant, racisi, sexist homo
phobes. White people who agree with mulliculluralists
will be tolerated. (This gets a little tricky because if too
many white people agree with multiculturalism then peo
pie of color will begin to discredit multiculturalism.
Whites are probably conspiring to make this happen.)
White people who say critical things about any per-
son ol color, or group of people of color, anything relat
ed to people of color, are racisi. sexist, etc. White peo-
ple who say nice things about any person of color,
group of people of color, or anything related to people
of color arc paternalistic and condescending racists.
Because they have bad ancestors and a bad culture,
while people have no moral authority make judgements,
good or bad.
With some minor revisions, the above sumntary WL)uld
work reasonably well if while heterosexual men were sub-
stituted for white people, and women and gays were
added to people of color
Feel fret to replace any forthcoming big multicultural-
ism spread in the Collegian with the above summary. I'm
sure while people will be able lo read and understand this
summary, and the Collegian could save a tree with the
rc-duced use of news- print.

When will they learn?
?
Imust warn all readers that the following column
contains mature, adult situations which may be
unsuitable for some liberals. Parental discretion is
advised. Again and again I am forced lo defend myself
simply because I am a while male representing the con-
servative party. Why is il that the left continually
attempts to bash and hinder the political agenda ol the
right?
The left seems to take extra sF>ccial pleasure in illus-
trating an unsavory opinion of Newt Ciingrich. They
revel in labeling Newt as "the sultan of swine" and "the
prince of porcine" without a hint of irony Perhaps the
only way they would know anything about being pigs is
simply because they have "rooted around in their own
vile excrement" before.
While some liberal opinions arc entertaining (for lack
of a better word, maybe fulsome), they arc far from the
facts behind Newt's policies and the truth itself.
However. I do realize liberal frustration, for I would be
kicking and screaming too if I knew the opposing party
was taking away my bottle of "cap in hand" milk. Yes.
it's time for the left lo be weaned from the government
nipple and start earning its keep.
Say "so long" lo the outrageous
amounts of welfare charity provided for
those who have every means in the world
to work. There will be no more sucking
the pocket dry of the honest American
taxpayer. Say "bye bye" to that failure Affirmative
Action. Pity that some may actually have to earn their
jobs. I know liberals hate lo read this, but I think they
hate Newt for the wrong reasons. Do they hate Newt
simply because they thinks he's pig or simply because
Newt gets the job done? I cannot count the number of
times I've read liberal rhetoric full of limp-wristcd name
calling.
One wimpy leftist described Gingrich's supporters as
"minion." "This is simply an articulate way of calling
them henchmen. Gee, I wonder where I've heard this
before. They claim that Gingrich is a Nazi or racist who
advocates the policies of a tyrant. Without an open
mind, they discredit the messenger, hence discrediting
the message. What I want to know is why I've never
read anything about the left discrediting Louis
Farrakhan? After all, Farrakhan is a racist and advocates
the policies of a tyrant.
In fact, it's safe lo say Farrakhan is more like Hitler
than any other modern day political figure. We never
hear Gingrich speak despicably about the lews. Perhaps
the left is using Newt Gingrich as a scapegoat for their
own fear of conservative effectiveness. Liberals may fear
that this effectiveness, despite existing for the benefit of
America, may lake away their ability to receive a
hand-out. It's an effectiveness that is not only shining
for the future, but has burned red hot in the past
Let me remind the left that much of today's right wing
conservative ideology derived from the Lincoln presiden-
tial party. I will not insult liberal intelligence with a his-
tory lesson, but I will refresh their memory. Lincoln was,
indeed, the Great Emancipator
I believe Lincoln said it best — "properly is the fruit
of labor... a positive good in the world. That some
should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and
hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise.
Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of
another; but let him labor diligently and build one lor
himself."
I need not go any further than that.
Probably my favorite conservative hate cliche is. "the
right-wing polilikkkally correct." Are liberals assuming
that the right wing party is directly affiliated wiih the
KKK? If so. they are woefully mistaken.
The last time I checked, the Klan was a
racist organization that allowed only
white. Christian. Aryan males as its mem-
bers. I will have the left know that I am
personally acquainted with conservatives
from all walks of life. I know black, homosexual. Asian,
female, American Indian and handicapped conservatives.
I am certain that these types of people would not be wel-
come into Ihe KKK community.
I am a while American and nothing more. I will not
be made to feel like I have to apologize for the color of
my skin. I do not owe a single man or woman in this
country a dime for iniquities committed by my fore
fathers. I am tired of this provincial attitude from the
left. I am not a racisi, bigot, homophobe or any of the
other popular cliches associated with being a white con-
servative.
I am simply a passenger on the most powerful, politi-
cal locomotive this generation has seen in over ^0 years.
We're riding a train on the journey of national healing. Il
may slow down, but it will never be stopped. All those
who wish to come along may hop aboard. The conserva-
tive train is leaving and heading lor the Promised l^nd.
Yes, liberals even you may go too. but you must pay the
fare. There are no free rides.

Ska-core legends heat up Noho
Mighty Mighty Bosstones keep crowd sweating and mashing
True hard core punk at Pearl St
By Adam Diugocz
Collegian Staff
7 SECONDS
Pearl Street
Nov 7
NORTHAMPTON — Thursday
night at Pearl Sired. 7 Seconds
showed ihe crowd where real Hard
Core/Punk started.
The group was formed in a lime
when punk was not onl) rebellious
but potentially dangerous to be
into punk — plus it couldn't be
seen on MT\'. Combining melody
with their Minor Threat inspired
thrash. 7 Seconds set the standard
lor years to come.
Despite the low turn out. the
band that sang 'Young Till I Die'
over 1 4 years ago still have what it
lakes to move the crowd. Opening
up with "You Lose." one of 7
Seconds earliest songs, they blasted
into a set comprising of both old
school and newer songs.
Although the more recent songs
were excellent, the pit got more hec-
tic and the sing-a-longs increased
when 7 Seconds played classics like
"Regress No Way." It was clear that
the people in attendance had been
following this band since the begin-
ning. Ironically, the song that best
portrayed the spirit of 7 Seconds
wasn't even their own — it was their
cover of Sham b'l's "Kids United."
They saved their best for last
though as the lights came down
one more time and they ripped into
"Soul Force Revolution." Although
they had claimed to be playing only
one more song, they did their cover
of 'W Red Balloons" and smoothly
flowed into their anthem "Walk
Together Rock Together."
H20 from New York opened up
with their brand of classic New
York Hard Core. Songs like "Here
Today. Gone Tomorrow." "Scene
Report" and "Five Year Plan"
demonstrated H20s ability to play
true hard core, while so many
bands are trying to pass oil bad
metal as hard core On a down
note. H20"s more melodic songs
demonstrated their ability to try
and appeal to the MT\' crowd that
has overly embraced the punk
sounds of Offspring.
Despite the low turn out it was a
great night of classic punk.

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones stomped through the Valley Saturday and Sunday night.

THE MIGHTY MIGHTY BOSSTONES
Pearl Street
Nov. 18
NORTH.AMPTON — F.vcn though the sound system at
Pearl Street Saturday night favored hardcore tunes, ii was
obvious from the crowd's reaction when the Mighty
Mighty Bosstones luok the stage that they were there to
see some trademark ska-core.
As a canned fanfare blared away and a giant Bcisstones
logo banner was unfurlc*d. Dicky Barrett and the rest ol
the Bosstones strutted onto the stage and greeted the
crowd. "Hello Northampton, we're the Mighty Mighty
Bosstones from Boston. Massachusetts." Barrett said, and
the band launched into "Kinder Words." from their latest
release. Ouesiion The Attsuen.
The crowd was bouncing up and down to the rhythms
and loving every minute of it. especially when Barrett and
Co. mixed in some old favorites like "Howwhywu/
Howwhyam." "Where 'd You Go?" and "Devil's Night
Out" with more recent songs like "Someday I Suppose."
'Illegal Left." 'Hell of a Hal" and "Holy Smoke "
But it was the classics that really had the audience
moving, and as expected, ^lage diving commenced not
three measures into the show. Cienuinely upset over
cords being pulled out and having people crash into the
horn section. Barrett told the crowd — "Do your thing
and gel off."
When the crowd was asked if they wanted new or old
school, the crowd responded with an ear splitting request
tor the old and the band was more than happy to oblige,
delivering such favorites as "Cowboy Collee." "Never
I ose My Wallet" and "Drunks and Children."
Decked out in suits that ranged Iroin Barrett in plain
grey, to bassist joe Gittleman and guitarist Nate Albert in
matching red plaids, the Bosstones delivered a show ihal
was short in comparison to most other bands' sets, but
with double the energy level of almosi anyone .And those
in attendance lell Pearl Street no doubt equally as drained
as the Bosstones were when after an encore that featured
their classic "A Little Bit Ugly."
Spring Heeled lack and Buzzkill opened the show. And
while Spring Heeled lack had a set of le\lbc>ok. but enjoy-
able ska. Buz/kill delivercxl a set of hardcore Ihal proves
the theory that with the right amount of boring p<.iwer
chords, a lot of screaming and continuous drum pounding
^ you too can have your own hardcore group.
Versus' new songs add extra excitement
'New York natives played Frontroom with Tizzy, New Radiant

Amherst College Frontroom
Nov 16
.Amherst has become a favorite site for established
bands to experiment with new material. Last year Helium
and Sonic Youth both came to town and played sets large-
ly of brand new malerial; N'ersus did the same Thursday
night.
During their lO-song set. Versus performed seven
unreleased tracks including the new crowd favorites
"Yeah You" and "Double Suicide " The former is a near
perfect pop song sung by bassist. Fontaine Toups. the
later was dedicated to all the couples in the audience. The
set closer "Linus" featured a riveting dual guitar solo
between Richard and lames Baluyet. the newest member
of the band.
The rather small crowd first startcxl bouncing around
during "Tin Foil Star." an uplifting song originally
released on Simple Machines as part of the Working
Holiday 7" series. "Let's Fleclrily" from the FP of the
same name, also brought the crowd into a pop frenzy. The
highlight of the regular set was the band's amazing ver-
sion of "Crazy." one of the best songs the band has yet
rtvorded. This slow, moving tune fully displays the range
of the band. Versus may be a noisy guitar band but they
are hardly afraid to show their sensitive side.
For an encore, the band performed "Blade of Grass"
and "Bright Light." two blasts from the pasts which
pleased virtually everyone longing to hear older tunes
such as these. "Blade Of Grass" was one of the highlights
off Versus' debut album Slan Arc hiiuiic while "Bright
Light" appeared on the band's second seven inch. 'The
song was dedicated to Bill Peregoy. the man who releasc-d
the single on his own Pop Narcotic label.
Overall, the show displayed the greatness of Versus,
who must be one of Ihe inost consistent live bands
around. Largely due lo the unfamiliarity of the material,
the audience never got into the music nearly as much as at
their spectacular performance at the Iron Horse last
spring, which was one of the peaks of the Loud Music
Festival.
Opening up the show were two of the Valley's most tal-
ented bands. New Radiant Storm King and Tizzy. NRSK
played first and put on a mediocre set that failed to live up
to high expectations based on stellar recent shows.
Celebrating the release of their second single. Tizzy was in
top form playing oW hits such as "Miss America" and "New
krsey" along with "Igloo," the A-sidc of their new single.

OUKTOWN
Rarfd Theater
Nov 18
The Thornton Wilder classic. Our Tuhh. finished its
three -weekend run on Saturday evening to warm
applause. The drama about life in Grovers' Comers, a
small New England town, was prcKluced by the University
of Massachusetts Theater IX-partment.
The play, which was divided into three acts spanning
1 'i years, had a very minimal set consisting of tables,
chairs and a couple of trellises. A clock on the back wall
was adjusted by a stage assistant depending on the time ol
day. As each act was finished, the set was diminished until
all that was left at the end of the third act were a set of
chairs.
The first act opened with the stage manager (played by
Maxwell M. Mount l introducing the main characters and
showing the layout of the town. Il was 1901 and it was
the beginning of the romance between Emily Webb
(Deirdre O'Keefel and George Gibbs (Ken Ward). Bryn
Anne Manion delivered a brief but inspired performance
^^
mm.
as the librarian. Miss Willard. who was called on to
inlomi the audience on the town's demographics
The second act takes place three years later on the
morning of Gtvrge and Emily's wedding. George, anxious
to see his bride over the protests ol his future
mother-in-law. finds himself sitting down to breakfast
with Editor Webb (Marty Norden). What followed was a
lunny conversation in which the Editor admonished
George not to ask or follow anyone else's advice. The
wedding ceremony featua-d commentary from the gregari-
ous Mrs. Soanies (Sharon Hart) who stood up frequently
during the ceremony lo tell the audience what a beautiful
wedding it was.
The final act took place nine years later at Emily's
funeral. Emily, who dies in childbirth, tries desperately to
reconcile her death with the life she once knew and loved.
The acting in Our Toun was exceptional. O'Keefe's
Emily was passionately portrayed — especially in the last
act. Norden delivered a wonderfully composed Editor
Webb while Ward was convincing as George Gibbs.
The cosiumes were authentic, and what was especially
outstanding was the lack of props and the placement of
the sound effects crew right on stage with ihe actors
Our Toun was a beautiful production and everyone
involved deserves praise for a job well done.

Minutemen look hack on careers
By Andrew Bryce
Collegian Staff
STORRS. Conn. — The three guys
walked into the press room following
the season-ending 20-7 loss. Their
heads were down; they were moving
rather slowly. They eased themselves
into chairs set up lor them.
"In addition lo Coach Hodges.
over here we have All- ArrterUan cor-
ner back Brcon Parker and our
All-American running back Rene
Ingoglia.' Massachusetts Sports
Information Director Bill Strickland
said lo the media, placing a hand on
their shoulders.
It was some reassurance. It was
some comfort. It reminded the players,
and media as well, (he accomplish-
ments of the two men in Minuteman
football jerseys. It was a note of suc-
cess in a lime of disappointment.
All three sat there. Breon Parker
had his elbows resting on his knees,
looking down al the floor. Mike
Hodges had his arms folded, looking
rather distraught. Rene Ingoglia sat
upright, seemingly fighting back the
tears. Staring iheni straight in the face
wtTe a handful of mcxiia personalities,
waiting to ask them about the game.
Not 1 5 minutes alter failing to get the
seventh win ihey were fighting for. or
go out with a victory lor the seniors,
ihey had to answer some questions.
Hodges spoke first about the last
game for the seniors.
"These two guys here, it's very dis-
appointing whenever you lose the last
football game.' Hodges said. "The
hardest part of it is that these two
guys and 10 more in that lockeroom
don't get a chance to play here again.
And they've given an awful lot to this
program.
"They work so hard and they give
us so much, and it really hurts to
have them have this as a last memo-
ry. It's very difficult. There've been a
lot of great memories for these
guys... hopefully. That's a thing that
I hope they hold with them."
Parker then was asked a question
about the same thing.
"I guess as a 1 look back, one thing
I can say is I made a lot of friends."
Parker said. "Today's game — I
mean, it hurts a little, but it almosi
doesn't really mean anything lor the
simple fact I got to run around with
those guys one last time."
A reporter wanted to know
Ingoglia's thoughts on getting the
Yankee Conference record for most
rushing yards in a carcx-r.
"I mean, it's a tribute to UMass."
Ingoglia said. "I've played with so
many good... I'll probably gel emo-
tional here... I've played with so many
good offensive lines. I've been here lor
five years, and God blessed me
enough to play for four of those years.
I've played with so many great people,
so many great coaches. I think Ii'n a
tribute lo them, more so than me."
The three offered what they fell
about it being the last game of their
collegiate careers. They all wanted a
seventh win. and didn't get it. They
all wanted the seniors to able to go
out with victory, and they weren't
able to do il.
But ihey all looked back from a
different perspective.
Parker looked back on the friend-
ships, and said it really didn't niatter if
thcA won or lost. Hodges said hov, he
just wished he could send his 12
seniors off with one last W. Ingoglia
credited his teammates for his records,
while getting choked up in the process.
Kspecially ivrie is how Breoo Parker
and Rene Ingoglia. in the true sense of
the world, were "looking back." As
thc-y sat there, they still had their foot-
ball punts and pads on. Yet. they were
technically former UMass football play-
ers. No inoa" games, no inorc practices.
Minute's before thc-y spoke after the
game, they were the main men on the
Minuteman squad. The All-American
Parker anchored the secondary corps.
The All-American Ingoglia was the
main cog in the UMass rushing attack.
But here, they were looking back
on their careers.
Parker. Hodges and Ingoglia all got
up at the end of the interview ses-
sion, and headed out the dour back
to the lockeroom.
"Thank you one last lime."
Ingoglia said while waving his hand.
Our pleasure. Rene.

Ingoglia. denied by the Huskies. Third down. Ingoglia,
no. Fourth down, the Minutemen need more than a
field goal, hand-off again to Ingoglia. he leaps and is
stopped in his tracks. The Huskies are going wild.
Ingoglia was stopped four consecutive times.
"We saw some different fronts, but we've been fac-
ing all types of fronts all year." Ingoglia .said. "But if
they want to crowd the line of scrimmage and we had
to try to find a way to beat them, we had to get that
one yard and we didn't. So you've got to give them
credit."
"UMass played an awfully good game. Obviously
they can run the ball like they have against everyone
else all year, but I thought the difference in the game
was our defense." UConn coach Skip Holt? said. "I
was very proud of the way our defense played. We
have waited all year for the goal line stand and we got
it today."
Then the Minutemen defense buckled down and did
the job. They prevenlc'd the Huskies from escaping the
UConn territory of the field. A lousy punt had the
Minutemen in scoring position once again.
McNcilly. once again lakes the field Ingoglia
stayed on the sidelines this time after the beating he
received in the previous drive. UMass looked for new
answers. A couple of McNeilly OB keepers, and a few
pitches to junior tailback Frank Alessio had the
Minutemen on the 10-yard line and threatening tc>
score. Ingoglia entered ihe game lo draw the alien
tion of the UConn defense. On fourth down, the
Minutemen went for it. McNeilly look the snap and
tossed a nice pitch to his left. Alessio hauled in the
ball and danced around a few Husky defenders before
sprinting into the corner of the end zone.
Touchdown
That was about all UMass could muster on this drea-
ry and free/ing day as the Huskies were able lo build a
comforlable lead.
UConn quarterback Shane Stafford was impressive
commanding his Huskies and building a 17-0 lead. A
55- yard field goal from UConn kicker David
De.Armas and twc> two touchdowns, one a 55-yard
connection between Stafford and UConn flanker Dak
Newton, the other a three-yard scamper frotn Husky
back Brandon Bailey, had UMass in the hole early.
"We had scmie opportunities in the first hall and we
put ourselves in a very difficult situation." Hodges
said "It seemed like every time wc had the ball wc had
80 yards to go. Il fell like we were always climbing
uphill."
UConn capped off the game with DeAnnas" secund
field goal of the day. a 27-yard boot.
The game marked not only ihe end of a credible sea-
son, but the last game for the seniors. All-Americans
Ingoglia and cornerback Breon Parker had been the
cornerstones to the program, putting up phenomenal
siati:jics wearing the maroon and white. The duo
reflected up».)n their time as UMass Minutemen foot
ball players.
"As I look back, the one thing I can .say is I made a
lot of friends. The fact that we lost today hurts a little,
but it almosi doesn't mean anything for ihe simple fact
thai I got lo run around with those guys one last time."
Parker said. 'I was just happy to play one last lime and
I'm glad nobody came out injured I tried to have fun
and put it all on the line today one last time."
"I'll probably gel emotional here, but I have playixl
with a lot of great offensive lines. I've been
God blessed to play four years." Ingoglia said fighting
tears "I've played with so many great people and so
many great coaches and I think it is a tribute to UMass
rather than lo me."

ing night by hitting a licbreaking basket with 50.5 sec-

That came from Faulk, who

Smith runs for three TDs in Dallas win

OAKLAND. Calif. — Who needs
Deion Sanders on offense'.' Certainly
not the Dallas Cowboys.
Emmitt Smith ran for three
touchdowns and Troy Aikman
threw a 17-yard scoring pass to
Michael Irvin as Dallas provided
yet more proof of the NFC's contin-
uing superiority with a 54-21 win
Sunday over the Oakland Raiders.
With Sanders adding a key inter-
ception. Dallas rebounded from last
week's thrashing by NFC rival San
Francisco. After that huinbling 58-20
loss. Cowboys owner jerry Jones
vowed Sanders would see much more
action this weekend.
Bui Sanders made only a cameo
appearance on offense, getting body
slammed by Rob Fredrickson after a
1 -yard gain on an end around.
"This is a great feeling." Sanders
said. "We really needed a pickup
game lo prove that the Dallas
Cowboys are siill intact." Dallas
began a week in which il will face
the AFC's two best teams by bailer-
ing the Raiders. Oakland played the
second half without |eff Hosteller,
who rcinjured his left shoulder on a
hit by Chad Hennings.
The Cowboys (9-2) host the
Kansas City Chiefs, who have the
NFI.'s best record, on Thursday. The
NFC has won 11 straight Super
Bowls, with the Los Angeles Raiders
the last victorious AFC team in 1984.
For Dallas, it was a chance lo erase
memories ol the loss lo the 49ers —
a game that wiped out Ihe aura of
invincibility that seemed lo be build
ing around the Cowboys.
"When we lost that game last
week, we lost a lot. A lot of emo-
tion." Smith said. "Believe me. il
upsel a lot of people. I ihink this
game was very important for us."
Vince Evans had touchdown pass-
es of 24 yards to Tim Brown and 16
yards to Kerry Cash as the Raiders
18-5) pulled within 51-21 early in the
fourtli quarter after trailing by 24
points in the third period. Harvey
Williams had a seven-yard Tt) run
lor Oakland in the first half.
The Raiders, who were penalized
1 5 times for 115 yards, lost al home
for the first time since moving back lo
Oakland this season. "We got beat
soundly in every area. We made a cou-
ple of turnovers, added a few penalties
lo il and then jusl took the day off,"
said Raiders coach Mike White. "We
were not cxjual lo the task."
Smith, who gained 1 10 yards on
29 carries, had touchdown runs of
15, four and four yards. Irvin had
seven catches for 109 yards, the
ninth game this season he has gone
over 100 yards. Aikman was 19 of 24
for 227 yards.
After Irvin's scoring catch, Sanders
returned his interception 54 yanis to
set up Smith's first lour yard TD run.
Sanders held the ball alofi during the
return and showed the same bravado
thai made him a Ian favorite in San
Francisco last season.
Sanders made the interception by
leaping over Raiders speedster
Rughib Ismail on a deep paltem.
"I don't think there's any other
cornerback in the league that can
make that play." said Dallas safely
Darren Woodson. "Deion played a
great game, shutting down their deep
threats."
Williams' scoring run completed
an 82-yard drive and pulled Oakland
within a touchdown, but Chris
Boniol kicked a 26-yard field goal lo
give Dallas a 17-7 halftime lead.
Smith had two more scoring runs
as the Cowboys built a 51-7 lead Isle
in the third quarter. Evans, at 40 the
oldest player in the NFL. rallied the
Raiders with his two touchdown
passes, but Boniol kicked a 58-yard
field goal at the end of a lO-play
drive as Dallas ran down the clock.

UM falls to Converse All-Stars
By Justin C. Smith
Collegian Stoff
The reason they play exhibiliun
games is so that this doesn't happen
during the regular season.
The Massachusetts inen's basket-
ball team committed 20 turnovers in
its second sloppy outing so far this
season. The first team
the Minuiemen
encountered was not
of high quality and
UMass won un pure
talent, as opposed to
playing as a well-oiled machine.
The final score was 94-89 in favor
of the Converse All- Stars, but in
some aspects it wasn't even that
close.
"We've got a ways to go." said
UMass coach lohn Calipari. "We
Converse
Massachusetts 89
built this program on an aggressive
way of playing basketball. We only
did that for the last six to seven min-
utes."
UMass trailed by as many as 1 3 at
some points in the contest, the last
being with 5:19 left on the final field
goal for Converse, as the Minutemen
fouled the All-Stars for the duration
of the game.
Once again, it was
center Marcus Camby
who led the way for
UMass with 51 points
and 14 rebounds. The
only other Minutemen to reach dou-
ble figures in points were Dana
Dingle and Tyrone Weeks, who con-
tributed 10 apiece.
"Tyrone and Inus INorville] gave
us what they could." Calipari added.
"But we arc a long way from home.
IMfiY ■ItuY.COllKJAN
"They say we're a top 10 team. I've
coached top 10 teams and we could
be a top 10 team." Calipari said. 'But
guys on the team have to fill roles
and do what they have to do."
On this night they were far from
the No. 7 ranking that has been
bestowed upon them in the polls,
shooting an atrocious 34 percent
from the field and an equally bad
Vfor- 8 from the free throw line.
One of the bright spots appeared
to be the play of freshman Charlton
Clarke. Clarke was able to play 22
minutes despite his recent knee
injury.
"My knee feels alright." Clarke
said. "It's not 100 percent yet.
though.
"I was so-so for my first game. I
got really hyped up. 1 can play much
better. 1 made a lot of freshman
errors. Cal said I would only play 1 5
minutes but I got a lot of opportuni-
ties. My knee wasn't bothering me so
it wasn't on my mind."
In the extended playing time, the
freshman collected seven points and
dished out two assists while collect-
ing five fouls. His aggressiveness on
the court was a positive but at times
it caused him problems as well.
"A lot of people will say that
Charlton was aggressive and that
it's good," Calipari said. "But he
only shot 2-for-l 1 from the field
and made some mistakes on
defense."
The Minutemen were better shoot-
ing from the field in the second half
at 55 percent, a lot of which came on
Camby dunks. He brought the crowd
to its feet early in the second half
with a jam that seemed to start from
the third row of seats on the right
wing.
Although the junior had a good
game statistically, he realizes that his
team is in some trouble if they do not
pick up their play.
"We were the same team as last
week," Camby said. "A lot of guys
didn't show up including myself."
One of Camby's inside partners,
Norville. also had a good game, hit-
ting three of four shots while grab-
bing three offensive boards. Senior
co-captain Donta Bright also was
solid on the glass, grabbing nine
boards.
The game also marked the return
of former Minutemen Derek Kellogg,
who hit three trifectas and finished
with n points.
UMass had lost just once in the
William D. Mullins Center prior to
Friday night's preseason tilt. The
other defeat was to George
Washington this past Valentine's
Day
the next time the Minutemen take
the court it will be the real thing, as
they will tangle with No. I ranked
Kentucky at the Great Eight shootout
on Nov. 28 in the Palace of Auburn
Hills.

KNOXVll LE. Tenn. — Dcbra Williams scored eight
straight points in overtime, and fourth-ranked Louisiana
Tech gave No. 1 Connecticut its first taste of defeat in
more than a year Sunday with an S'S-Sl victors' in the
Basketball Hail of f ame Tip-Off Classic.
Williams hit back-toback 'S-pointers to rally the Lady
Techsters from a 7'»-75 overtime deficit. The second put
La Tech up 81-79 lead with 47 seconds to go.
Connecticut center Kara Woliers. who had 29 points and
20 rebounds, scored on a lip-in with 26.5 scxonds left to
tic it at 81.
The Lady Techsters ran down the clock and then
Williams drove straight down the lane and hit a lay-up
with 5.2 seconds left for the victory. UConn couldn't get
off a shot beloa- the buzzer. William's heroics in overtime
atoned for the miv>^ of a free throw with 23 seconds left in
regulation that might have scaled it for the l.ady Techsters.
Louisiana Tech''- victory ends the nation's longest win-
ning streak at 55. and puts Connecticut in a situation it
never faced last year on its way to an undefeated season
and the NCAA title. Williams finished with 29 points.
Preseason All American Vickie lohnson rebounded from a
4-poini first half to finish with 20 points and 12
rebounds. Raquel Spurlock added 15 points for the Lady
Techsters.
Nykesha Sales, whose two free throws with 4.9 seconds
left in regulation sent the game into overtime, scored 20
points for Connecticut, lamelle Elliott added 1 1 .
The Huskies showed they could still play without con-
sensus national player of the year Rebecca l.obo. who
graduated. Hut they couldn't do without both her and the
b-foot-7 Woliers. Wolters went to the bench with her
fourth foul with 8 1/2 minutes left to play and the
Huskies ahead 55-55. When she came back with five min-
utes left, they trailed 66-64 and it became 68-64 seconds
later on lohnson's steal and score with 4:06 lo go.
The Huskies went without a point for neariy 4 1/2 min-
utes until Wolters scored inside with 1:31 left to cut La
Tech's lead to 70-66. Williams hit two free throws to
make ii 72-66 with 59 seconds left: Sales answered with a
falling 8foolcr with 48.7 seconds lo go and it was 72-68.
Alter Williams hit one free throw. Caria Berubc kept
UConn's hopes alive by rebounding Jennifer Rizzotli's
miss, scoring, and converting a three-point play with 32.4
seconds left lo make it 75-71. La Tech.

Volleyball defeats Rhode Island
By Chris Slomm
Collegion Staff
Streak «. — 5. a tendency in behavior, etc. 4. a peri-
cxl, as of luck.
The behavior is winning, but the Massachusetts vol-
leyball team's streak has no bearing on luck what so
ever.
The team has cleariy been on fire since the half way
point of the season, Oct. 10. Since that point, the
Minutewomen have won 12 games and only dropped
one, finishing up their regular season with a record of
24-lOoverall, 15-5 in the A- 10.
Their most recent victory came last Thursday when
UMass defeated Rhode Island (15-11. 14-16! 7-15,
15-12), the team which has sat atop the A-10 for the
majority of the season. This loss dropped the Rams lo
25-6 overall. 17-5 in the A- 10 Last weekend, the
Minutewomen clinched an A- 10 Tournament berth by
sweeping Xavier and Dayton in a two match Ohio road
trip.
Although coach Bonnie Kenny's squad did not have
to worry about earning a post-season spot Thursday, it
was the last time UMass would get a look at the Rams
before the tournament. After the Oct. 3 five-game bat-
tle which saw the Minutewomen lose 12-15, 15-12,
10-15, 8-15. this was as an opportunity to exact
revenge and gear up for the tournament.
Massachusetts did both.
The Minutewomen not only came home with the
win. but posted some impressive stats. Four players in
Maroon and While tallied double figures in both kills
and digs, the first three double-doubles coming from
the outside hitter slots.
Once again, it was junior outside hitter Giza Rivera
leading the team with 19 kills and 14 digs. Sophomore
outside hitter Lesley Nolan totaled 16 kills and 22 digs
as junior outside hitter Dionne Nash had 1 7 kills and
1 1 digs. Senior middle blocker, Rachel Sky posted 1 3
kills and 19 digs.
The win was not easy, and as in the last confronta-
tion between the two, the match was not decided
until the final game. In the fifth game, the Rams
opened up with an impressive 7-2 lead. That's when
UMass stepped up their play, winning eight of the
next nine points taking a 10-8 lead. Rhode Island
was not about to end their season on such a flat
note, as they succeeded in knotting the score at tens.
But the Minutewomen were too tough, as they won
five of the last seven points to arrive at the 15-12
victory.
This win is significant, for it represents something
that Kenny had been trying to instill in her team
throughout the season. She realized that she has a
good team, but if the whole squad comes out and gives
100 percent, they are a great team.
A quick slat check is all the proof needed to sub-
stantiate this point. With four players earning dou-
ble-doubles in such an important match, it is clear that
the Minutewomen arc ready for post-season play.
Next up for ihc Minutewomen is the A- 10 tourna-
ment. Massachusetts opens up the post-season with a
semi-final match on Thanksgiving at 5:30 p.m in the
Curry Hicks Cage. As of press time, final standings and
match-ups were not available.
This is the first of two major women's volleyball
tournaments being hosted here at UMass in the coming
month. After the A- 10s. the NCAA Championships
will be held Dec. 14-16 in the William D Mullins
Center.
While the win over Rhode Island was big. UMass
will have to be tough if they hope to win the A-IOs
and make a run lo play on the floor of the Mullins
Center once more this season.
Lady Vols drill No. 3 Cavaliers, 66-34
By Tom Sharp
Assoc latKi Press
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Pat Summiti told her
Tennessee team in practice it was the worst-rebounding
bunch she'd had in her 22 years of coaching.
Surely she was kidding. At least Virginia must think so.
The No. 6 Lady Vols outrebounded the third-ranked
Cavaliers 66-34 Sunday en route to a 78-51 victor>' in the
Hall of Fame Tip-Off Classic.
Fourth-ranked Louisiana Tech edged No. 1 Connecticut
83-81 in overtime in the opening game, snapping the
nation's longest winning streak at 35 games.
Tennessee ran its home winning streak to 65 games and
tagg^ Virginia with its worst loss since the 1989 NCAA
tournament, when Tennessee beat the Cavaliers 80-47.
To find another team that beat Virginia so badly, you
have to go all the way back to 1984 when North Carolina
did it.
"I was most unhappy with the rebounding, not
checking out and doing the things we normally do
well." said Virginia coach Debbie Ryan "We just
didn't compete today and that bothers me." Summitt
unveiled a new and different team from the ones that
went 122-1 1 over the last four years, but the results
didn't change much.
"I think the one place where we really needed lo have
an edge was on the boards, and it was evident from the
very start that we were going to rebound the basketball
with a great deal of authority. I'm really pleased we did
that." Summitt said. Tennessee used a rarely seen zone
defense to stymie Virginia, holding the Cavaliers to 55
percent shooting.
"We prepared for the zone, we just didn't see things the
way we should have." Ryan said. "Our execution led lo a
poor effort." Michelle Marciniak led the Lady Vols with
16 points. Latina Davis, a 5-fool-6 guard, had 12 points.
1 2 rebounds and four assists. Pashen Thompson had 1 2
points and 13 rebounds for Tennessee and freshman
Chamique Holdsclaw added 13 points and 10 rebounds.
Wendy Palmer. Virginia's preseason All-America center,
was held to nine points but did have 10 rebounds. Tara
Suber led the Cavaliers with I 5 points, while Monick
Foote added 12.
The Lady Vols led 51-21 at halftime and 45-34 with 12
minutes left when Davis sparked a 14-0 run that put it out
of reach Afier Brynae Laxton hit a free throw, Davis
scored a rebound basket, fed Holdsclaw for a bucket and
scored again herself to make it 52-34 with 9 1/2 minutes
left.
Laurie Milligan hit two free throws and converted a
three-point play after her steal to finish the 14-0 run. It
was 57-34 with just under nine minutes to play.
No. 10 Arkansas 86. Ohio St. 80
FAYETTEVILLE. Ark. — Instead of talking about per-
fection at the free throw line. Christy Smith wanted to
talk about taking care of the ball.
Smith was 15-for-15 from the free throw line and
scored a career-high 33 points Sunday to help No. 10
Arkansas to an 86-80 victory over Ohio Slate in the semi-
finals of the women's Preseason NIT.
The victory put Arkansas (3-0) in Tuesday night's
championship game against No. 14 Colorado (5-0). a 74-
68 winner over Texas A&M on Sunday.
Smith's outing at the foul line was a school record ~~
Belly Fiscus was 1 2-for-l 2 in 1985 and Tracy Webb
matched that in 1987 — but her four turnovers were six
less than she had in the season opener against
Northwestern Louisiana.
"I didn't think about it, really," she said of the free
throws. "We're just playing together as a team, and that's
the difference." How abtout those turnovers?
'I'm really proud of that." she said.
Hasek helps Buffalo Sabres defeat Ottawa Senators
By Mark E. Johnson
Associated Press
BUFFALO. N.Y. — Dominik Hasek had 51 saves and
recorded his first shutout of the season as the Buffalo
Sabres defeated the Ottawa Senators 6-0 Sunday night.
The Senators, playing with a two-man advantage late in

Bamaby, Pat LaFontaine and Derek Plante each scored
one for the Sabres, who have won four straight. Bultalo

od, lason Dawc dug the puck out from behind the net and
passed to May. who spun and backhanded his shot past
Senators goallender Don Beauprc.

Burridge to give Buffalo a 2-0 lead. Burridge extended his
point-scoring streak to six games with the assist.

Using exceptional forechecking.
while shorlhanded in particular,
and the New jersey Devils' defen

pin UMass in its own defensive
zone for much of ihe first two peri
ods of play in a penally-laden
affair.
When UMass did work the puck
up ice. Dennis was there for some
tremendous saves. Dennis made 55
on Friday and 71 lor the weekend.
"Dan Dennis put on a show

said after Saturday's game. "He
played terrific. For them lo be suc-
cessful in the trap they have to have

Meanwhile, the llldl^ went up
4-0 early in the second on just six
shots against senior Dave Kilduff.
UMass rallied as Providence
abandoned its trapping ways in the
third period, permitting an
up tempo game.
Tom Perry's first two goals of the
year and Rob Bonneau's eighth and
ninth drew UMass lo wilhin two al
7- 5. with 2:50 remaining, but the
Friars held on for the win. Five

ed this weekend." said UMass senior
Captain jayncn Rissling. 'Martin
I.egault was a puzzle that wc had to
solve. Eventually we solved that puz
zle and we moved on."
Massachusetts had several oppor-
tunities to cul into the lead as Ihe
Minulenian forwards attacked the net
feverishly, but IX-nnis had an answer
for every UMass chance as the Friars
completed the sweep
Massachusetts coach joe Mallen
lauded the junior goaltender's play.
"I ih«>ughi that Danny DeW* put
on a show {Friday ntpht j.'^lMaHen
said. *Bul he put an cMra special
show tonight."
Providence, like the iilanley Cup
champion New jersey Devils,
employs a neutral zone trap Mallen
pointed lo the importance ol giH>d
goallerHling lo making the trap elfec
live.
"With the trap, you have to have
goixl goaliending like Martin Brodeur
lasl year," Mallen said
'We have to give him credit," said
UMass junior center Warren Norris
"He playtxl really well tonight."
Massachusetts isn't the only team
to have nightmares aKuil the play ol
Dennis. Entering the weekend, the
Saskatchewan native had posted the
best numbers in Hockev East, with «
2 14 goals-against average and a
save percentage of M2b against con
fcrence opponents
rx-nnis' periormance can be direct-
ly credited lo why the Friars, who
were picked lo finish seventh in the
conference's preseason coaches poll,
are currently sitting atop HE His sin
wins are far ahead of any other goalie.
Notes: The one goal scored by
Massachusetts marks the lowest goal
output of ihe season lor the
Minuiemen. Their previous low was a
four-goal performance against
Merrimack
Thri-e Minuiemen. Sal Manganaro.
Tom Perry and Rob Bonneau had
six. game point streaks broken
Saturday as well.
The Minuiemen will now get a
break from conference action as only
two of their next 10 games are
against Hockc7 East opponents. The
two that are left however are against
defending National ('hampion and
current No. I ranked Boston
University.

Sometimes when I visit my
Uncle Retain I stare out of his
living room window lor hours. I
always sit in one of his stuffed easy
chairs.
All day long he plays classical
music around the house. II I sH long
enough by the window I drift into
another world... like a trance. I
become peaceful and content.
If it happens to rain, then I get even
better... you know, uh... urban
nirvana.
The rain hits the window and
patters on the sill... the world below
makes sense... everything makes
sense.

UMass defeated by UConn in NCAAs
By Candice Flemming
Collegian Sloft
STORRS. Conn. — If there was any weakness
on the Massachusetts women's soccer team, it was
their lack of speed
In yesterda\'>. NCAA second round match up
between Massachusetts and Connecticut, that lack
of speed nnally caught up with the Minutewomen.
as they lost 5-0 to the Huskies.
"Speed was the key thing |in this game).'" said
Massachusetts coach lini Rudy "We're not a fast
team We've deceived everyone all year."
The win advanced the Huskies, now l>*-2-2. to
the third round where they will play Notre Dame
in South Bend. Ind The Irish defeated Wisconsin
yesterday to advance. The Minutewomen finish the
season 14-4-.?
The Huskies' speed was unbelievable, and it pre-
vented UMass from getting any scoring opportuni-
ties throughout the
Connecticut
entire contest. For
the game, the
Minutewomen
could only muster
one shot (in the second half) while the Huskies
pounded out 18 shots. Many times a LMass for-
ward who be rushing towards the net but before
they could get a shot off. a UConn defender wht)
catch up to them from l>ehind and thwart the rush.
"We just couldn't get it near the gi)al." Rudy said.
"They ran us down, doubled us and ".tripped us."
UMass keeper Danielle Dion never caught a break
in the game making eight saves — a couple which
were outstanding. One great save came with just
under 27 minutes to go in the first half. Margaret
Tictjen let go a shot from the left side about 10-15

Heart and desire
led UM all year
By Justin C. Smith
Collegian Staff
STORRS. Conn. — In yesterday's
season finale for the Massachusetts
women's soccer team, a 5-0 loss to
the Connecticut Lady Huskies, many
things became apparent about this
team.
They would never give up.
The heart and desire exhibited all
season by this group of 20 women
was astounding. The natural talent of
the squad in some games may have
been less of their opponents, but ttiat
was never an excuse.
At the outset of the season it was
questioned where the scoring on this
team would come from, and in the
end, the single-season point record
in Minutewoman history was broken.
Rachel LeDuc. a senior who was
the last player on the bench when
she started as a freshman, totaled 18
goals and 10 assists for 46 points.
That total surpassed Natalie Prosser
whose previous mark was 57, set in
1979. LeDuc probably won't go
down as the most talented
Minutewoman forward, but she did
it with extra effort.
"You always know that when she
tomes off the field that you've gotten
110 percent from Rachel LeDuc."
Massachusetts coach jim Rudy said
after she broke Pn.)sser'5 record.
By slide tackling, diving for head-
ers, and in general distracting the
opposition-. LeDuc, as well as her
teammates, create UMass goals.
I^st week in the NCAA first round
match-up against Hartford, after
completely controlling the play in th«
Hawk end and leading 1-0 for 89
minutes, the Minutewomen gave up
the tying goal which forced overtime.
In similar situations, most teams
would be devastated and doubt
themselves as the momentum shifts
from one side to the other, but not
UMass.
Into overtime the Minutewomen
continued to carry the play, showing
no ill-effects of the lead they had let
slip away. Then, midfielder Rebecca
Myers would go down late in the sec-
ond overtime.
Her intestinal fortitude would now
be tested, and she would persevere.
After a two-minute break on the
sidelines, the one part of the game in
which Hartford carried the play.

Hockey loses twice to Providence
By Leigh Torbin
Collegian Staff
The Massachusetts hockey team fell to a surprising
Providence team 7-5 Friday night despite outplaying
them. The Minuiemen then lost 4-1 Saturday night at
the Mullins Center, in a game which was a carbon copy
of Friday's contest.
Each night UMass dodged the Friars' dreaded neutral
zone trap, taking early lerritovial and shot advantages,
but found itself down by three after the second period.
Both nights, third period UMass rallies fell short, as the
Friars maintained their
hold on first place in

coach |oe Mallen said after Saturday's game. "We out-

them but we didn't outscore them. 1 was proud of our

Saturday night the
Minutemen came out fly-
ing as they outshot
Providence 10-0 by the
15:25 mark, but saw the
momentum shift after Warren Norris was sent through
a pane of glass. The Mullins Center staff diligently
removed and replaced the shattered glass in 12 min-
utes, but the break was sufficient for Providence to
regroup.
Shots were even 5-5 for the remainder of the period,
and the Friars tallied their first goal on the power play
at 3:55 of the second. Mike Omicioli fired Providence's
seventh shot of the power play, beating sophomore net-

UM can't solve
Friars' Dennis
By Malt Vaulour
Collegian Staff
In its first two seasons following
reinstatement, the Massachusetts
hockey teain had one puzzle it
couldn't solve. Despite playing with
and sometimes outplaying
Merrimack, the Minutemen could not
solve goaltender Martin Legault. But
two weeks ago, UMass solved that
puzzle as it finally defeated
Merrimack and Legault.

Football ends year with loss
By Mike Brown
Collegian Staff
STORRS. Conn. — The name of
the game was defense. But the
opposition named it.
Saturday, the Massachusetts
Minutemen travelled to Memorial
Field on the campus of Connecticut
in attempt to spoil the Huskies'
chance for post-season play. But
UMass was not the spoiler, as
UConn won handily 20-7 in front
of a crowd of 8,479. The
Minutemen finish its season 6-5,
while the Huskies' 8-5 record has
their fingers crossed hoping for a
crack at the post-season.
With the fourth quarter just
underway, UMass took posses-
sion of the ball trailing 17-0.
Senior quarterback Andrew
McNeilly was inserted into the
game to replace the struggling
sophomore Anthony Catterton.
Wasting no time. McNeilly
fired a 1 7-yard strike to senior
wide receiver Kevin Bourgoin.
McNeilly, who was the starting
OB for three years, had been side-
lined all year. Catterton had been
the player the coaches thought
could move the offense best.
"In the second half, Andrew
went in and gave us a little spark
and a little life. He completed a
couple passes and we picked it up
a little bit." Hodges said. "But we
didn't get the job done when we
needed to.
"It was in the back of my mind
all year long to play Andrew. To
be honest, we needed something,
we needed a spark. He had been

Sprinkler system vandalism
causes damage in Cashin Hall
By AKson GMinoHy
Collegian Staff
The new sprinkler system on the sixth floor in
Cashin Residence Hall was vandalized early
Monday morning, resulting in yet unestimated
damage to rooms on the second, third and
fourth floors. There is a $500 reward being
offered to anyone who can identify the perpetra-
tor.
At approximately 5 a.m., the glass to the sprin-
kler system in the stairwell of the sixth floor of the
northwest wing was broken, setting off several
other sprinklers in the building Assistant
Residence Director Bonila Harvey said 50 gallons
of water per minute mshed out.
Residents were sent out into the cold morning
for two and a half hours while Emergency Health
and Safety and maintenance staff worked to clean
up the water and damage. Residents were
allowed back into the building at approximately
7:10a. m
Don Pelky, operations manager for the
Northeast/Sylvan Area, said the janitorial staff has
been cleaning carpets and clearing water from stor-
age rooms since the alarm.
"The staff s(>ent most of the moming cleaning
the water and disrupting their regular work," Pelky
.said. "It was a real inconvenience for the staff and
the residents."
Sean Mason, a resident of 504 Cashin, spent
the early morning hours in the lobby of
McNamara Residence Hall. He said it was more
than an inconvenience and hopes the vandal is
caught.
Mason believes the vandal didn't realize they
would cause as much damage as was done.
"I believe it was someone who didn't know what
they were getting into," Mason .said.
Although there was no damage to Mason's room,
the damage lo a room a down the hall, }02D, was
extensive with water damaging everything in the
room from computers to clothing Mason said the
women who live there were visibly upset and were
unsure of what to do next
EHS spokesman Dave Beaudin said the case is
still under investigation. They are working on a few
leads but nothing substantial as of yet.
Harvey said the vandal should have been
drenched with water after breaking the sprinkler.
She and the rest of the area staff are asking resi-
dents who saw someone enter a room or a bath-
room to take off wet clothes to notify invesiiga
tors.
If you have any information, please call the EHS
headquarters at 545-2682 or the University Police
at 545- 212t.
Student aid advocates
win victory as revised
bill eases hardships
By Alison GNmoly
Collegian Stoff
The Student Center for Education
Research and Advocacy (SCERA)
was celebrating a student financial
aid victory yesterday instead of
protesting outside of Representative
Peter Blute's office as planned.
The revised bill coming out of con-
ference committee over the weekend
cuts $4 9 billion rather than the pro-
posed $10 1 billion, and targets the
pockets of banks rather than those of
students.
The new bill shrinks the banks'
profit margin, rather then cutting
work study programs and grants.
However, the bill does reduce the
direct lending ^_^^^_^^^_
program from 50
percent to 10

but SCERAs

"It's consid
ered a win and a

SCERA coordinator Michael Hass
said. "There weren't any inside games
to [reducing! the cuts. It was stu-
dents across the country saying we
can't afford these cuts."
Student Trustee Dan Rivera attrib-
utes the success solely to student
grass roots organizations such as
SCERA. The movement began with
letters and phone calls and pro-
gressed to mobilizing with other
groups on a state and national level.
"It's a win for us because the
administration had nothing to do
with it," Rivera said.
Student Government Association
President Christine Lopes wants stu-
dents to remember the two
Massachusetts representatives, Peter
Blute and Peter Torkelson, who voted
for cutting financial aid after they
stated publicly they would not.
"We need to remind (Blute and
Torkelson) that students are watch-
ing and are looking for a representa-
tive who is student-friendly in the
'96 elections," Lopes said Neither
Blute nor Torkelson had anything to
do with the conference committee
revisions.
SCERA had scheduled to hold a
rally in place of the protest in front of
Blute's office yesterday afternoon,
however they were unable to do so at
the time.
The next focus of the student fight
will be on lowering the cost of tuition
and fees. UMass is currently the sec-
ond most expensive public university
in the nation.
"Because we have the second most
expensive University the costs should
^^_^^_^__^^ be lowered so
we have greater
access," Rivera
said. "But the
Chancellor is not
ready to commit
lo no increases
in the total
cost."
Rivera said
the University
will most likely
be the target of
further cuts in
the coming year,
with a projected
$80 million gap
in money allocat-
ed from the fed-
eral government
to the state.
'It would be naive of us to think
that we won't be the brunt of il.*
Rivera said.
Hass sakJ his group will fight for zero
percent increases acn>ss the buaid. Last
year, smdents rallied for and received a
zero percent increase in tuition and a
compromised $47 irKreaae in mandato-
ry fees. However, housing and room
and board were not covered. Housing
fees increased $160 last year, an
increase Rivera warns has been steadily
going up in the last five years.
SCERA and the SGA are currently
laying the groundwork for next
semester's protests of any cost
increases. Vecchio said the student
voice will be important in keeping the
costs of this university at status quo.
"It's important that we focus on
student actions in playing a major
role," Vecchio said. "This energy now
has lo go toward tuition and fees,'
"It's considered a win

Filmmaker discusses latest movie
TajirVs discussion examines motivation behind new project
By Maureen Rozanski
Collegian Staff
Wednesday, November 1 5. filmmaker Rea Tajiri held a
panel discussion on excerpts from her first feature film
entitled, "Strawberry Fields."
Tajiri's film is a feature length dramatic narrative that
took three years to produce.
"Strawberry Fields" raises many issues. The story
revolves around the life of an adolescent
Japanese-American girl, Irene, growing up in Chicago in
the •70s.
The film ties together Irene's struggle with the death of
her younger sister, the decrepit relations between her and
her parents, her boyfriend, and the peer pressures of the
70s including the "war" issue and the heavy usage of
drugs.
The film stressed the lifestyle of a second -generation
Japanese-American. Irene struggles with her identity, ven-
turing around the U.S. searching for the truth behind the
experiences of her Japanese relatives in the U.S. during
WWII.
Tajiri's production addressed lapanese segregation in
the American society during the 40s and the prejudice and
racist attitudes they received.
Irene's parents and grandparents were placed in
lapanese- American internment camps, and Irene strug-
gles with this. Late in the film she quotes, "No one will
ever really know what went on here."

Speaker looks at heroin in drug market
By Motrttew Potting«r
Collegian Staff
With the world's illicit heroin supply expected to dou-
ble every 2 to 5 years, and a planet full of current or
potential users, a conclusion to the global drug trade
won't come easily, if at all, according Alfred McCoy, a
professor of history at the University of Wisconsin at
Madison.
McCoy spoke last Thursday evening in the Campus
Center on heroin as a global commodity.
"In the past five years there has been a sudden resur-
gence in heroin abuse, both in the United States and
around the globe. Production is soaring in southeast A.sia,
central Asia and Latin America and (heroin] is spreading
rapidly into new markets like Russia, China and India,"
McCoy said.
"In the past 25 years the number of hard-core heroin
users in the U.S. has risen from about 68,000 in 1970 to
somewhere between half a million and 700,000 today." he
said, adding that much of the increa.se in heroin abuse has
occurred in the last five years.
According to McCoy, a substantial increase in heroin
supplied by southeast Asian countries has allowed prices
to drop from $100,000 to $60,000 per kilogram, creating
"a whole new clientele" in the U.S.
Increased purity, which McCoy estimated to have ri.sen
from three to 70 percent over the last 25 years, is another
direct result of the recent surplus in heroin. He mentioned
River Phoenix as an overdose casualty of the new surge in
pure-grade heroin. The greater ease in getting "high"
afforded by the raise in purity has led American users
between the ages of 20 and 50 lo substitute intravenous
ingestion with the smoking and snorting of heroin.
McCoy said that opium and its derivative, heroin, must
be viewed as major global commodities, "with production
systems and a political economy similar in scale to other
major stimulants such as coffee and tea." He further sug-
gested that early demand for heroin was created in part by
narcotic and cocaine-based medicines mass-marketed by
pharmaceutical manufacturers, such as Parke-Davis of
Detroit, and Bayer of Germany.
McCoy claimed that "two key aspects of our current
drug problem (are) intelligence agency protection of the
drug lords, and the repeated failure of America's attempt
at prohibition through drug wars."
In terms of prohibition, McCoy argued that most

an Associate Professor
UMass English Department.
Knowing what courses are being
offered allows the Academic
Subcommittee to work on the
establishment of a GLBT Studies
Certificate Program at UMass,
Carlin said.
The guide includes information
on 18 Five College undergraduate
and graduate courses that fall
under the broad definition of
GLBT studies. Some classes
address GLBT studies directly,
while others include it as a compo-
nent of a broader topic.
A few of the courses are listed
because they allow students to pur-
sue GLBT studies in seminars,
class discussions, written work
and/or independent projects.
According to Carlin, the current
publication is an "interim guide"
only and will be followed later on

only those courses which were
voluntarily submitted by profes-
sors last spring. Professors
responded to questionnaires dis-
tributed by the Academic
Subcommittee.
"My hope is that the list is less
complete than it might be because
there's a greater number of cours-
es (than appear in print)," said
Carlin
Another member of committee,
UMass undergraduate Ashavan
Doyon, said
that he person-
ally knew of
several courses
that could have
been included
in that guide but have been left out
simply because professors never
filled out the committee's question-
naires.
"It's really hard to judge how
complete the list is," Doyon said.
Broad speclruro of courses
included
Currently the courses span a
broad spectrum of disciplines,
from psychology ("Adolescent
Psychology" at Mount Holyoke
College) to government "Lesbian
and Gay Politics and Theory" at
Smith College) and English
("Representing Sexualities in
Word and Image" at Amherst
College.)
More than half the courses come
from the University of
Massachu.setts, which offers GLBT
studies through its departments of
history, English, philosophy, politi-
cal science, sociology, comparative
literature, French and anthropolo-
gy
Sociology professor |anice
Irvine will be leading two cours
es designated as "core courses" for
GLBT studies: "Political
Sociology: Sexuality, Gender and
the Religious Right" and
"Sexuality and Society." The for
mer examines societal conflict
over "family values." while the lat-
ter explores the ways in which
social factors shape human sexual-
ity.
"Sexuality and Society" will also
include topics such as adolescent
sexuality, the medicalization of sex-
uality, and the invention of hetero-
sexuality, homosexuality and bisex-
uality.
In addition, Irvine will be con-
ducting a graduate course called
'Sociology of Sexuality" that
devotes a significant portion of its
time to topics that fall under GLBT
studies.
More than two years ago. the
Chancellor's Task Force on GLBT
Matters released a report that rec
ommended the establishment of
University certificate program in
GLBT studies.
Although the report offered
specific information on how and
why such a program could be
initiated, none of its deadlines
were met and there has been
inaction on the issue for several
months.
Perhaps the release of the cur
rent course guide will aid the
committee in its efforts, Carlin
said.
"It's still just a First step," said
Doyon.

Oldest living person
On October 17, 1995. leanne
Calment's name went into The
Guinness Book of Records as the
oldest living person whose date of
birth can be authenticated.
Calment was bom a year before
Alexander Graham [Jell invented the
telephone, was 14 when she met
Vincent Van Gogh and 20 when the
first silent movies were screened.
She was bom in Aries on Feb.
21. 1875. four years after France
lost the Franco-Prussian War. and
has lived through the administra-
tions of 27 French presidents.
Since 1985, Calment has been
living at a nursing home that has
been renamed after her. and
throughout her life, she has kept a
keen sense of humor.
When asked at her 1 20th birth-
day bash last Feb. 21 to describe
her vision of the future, she
replied mischievously: "Very
brief."
Calment has been forced to give
up her two cigarettes a day and
her single glass of wine before
meals, but she still eats chocolate,
her one vice.
Mother receives lost notes
ROCHESTER. N H, - A temii
nally ill woman is to be reunited
with the letters and poetry she
wrote for her newborn baby,
thanks to the concern of another
mother.
Kristen Trepanier said she
received a phone call from a friend
of the ill woman Tuesday, one day
after Foster's Daily Democrat ran
a story about a mysterious baby
book Trepanier received as a gift
when her own daughter was bom.
The baby book contained sever-
al letters, dated May 1992, detail-
ing the thoughts of a new mother
diagnosed with the AIDS virus.
The caller said that the baby
book was accidentally sold at a
yard sale.
Trepanier plans to send the
book back to an address in East
Rochester given by the caller.
Test opened to women
JERUSALEM - The High
Court of lustice ordered the Israeli
Air Force on Nov. 9. 1995. lo
admit a woman to exams for its
course for fighter pilots.
The order reverses a longstaiKl-
ing ban on women — in combat
roles.
The Court accepted an appeal
by South African-born Alice
Miller, a 23-year old licensed
commercial pilot and an air force
aeronautics engineer, against the
military for barring her from the
training course.
The Air Force had argued in its
defense that it was too expensive
to put women through flight train-
ing when their careers could be
cut short by pregnancy. Miller had
argued this policy was the equiva-
lent to sexual discrimination.
"I feel a lot of tension." Miller
said after the ruling. "Now the real
struggle begins. It will be very
hard to be a woman among men.
especially with the attitudes that
men express about women on this
matter." she said.

At one point in the movie, Irene's
mother admonishes her daughter for
her rebellious "teenage" ways quot-
ing, "It's hard enough being punished
for things you can't help."
In the panel discussion held fol-
lowing the viewing of the film. Tajiri
notes the film's "transference
Ijctwcen generations" and gave a spe-
cific description of the main charac-
ter, Irene. Irene is a young Japanese
girl with strict parents who smokes
pot and doesn't sleep at home.
"We wanted to get a character that
went against the grain of the modem
minority." Tajiri said,
Tajiri noted that she received much
of her inspiration for the characters
in her film from reading short stories
by Asian-American writers.
Tajiri also related the film's con-
tents to her own family's past history.
She said that her own grandparents
were residents of the Japanese intern-
ment camps during the war era.
"Strawberry Fields" was produced
for the Independent Television
Service (ITS). Funds were provided
by the Corporation for Public
Broadcasting.
The showing of the film was a
VHS computerization of the real
thing, as the edited film will not be
released in the theaters until next
year.
"Strawtjerry Fields" is currently in
post production, with minor editing
changes still in progress.

attempts at prohibiting narcotics in America, beginning in the 1920s,
have not only failed to eradicate the targeted illicit drugs, but actually
contributed to both their production and consumption. He attributed a
four-fold increase in the global production of heroin bctwivn 1970 and
1990 in part to the three US drug wars led by the Nixon, Reagan and
Bush Administrations
"As seizures and suppression reduces drug supplies in some sectors,
global prices rise, stimulating expanded production elsewhere,* he said.
In terms of "intelligence agency protection of drug lords," McCoy
claimed that the fact that both the Soviet Union's and China's southern
frontiers met with opium growing countries, such as Afghanistan, and
the "golden triangle' of Bumia. Laos and Thailand, made those regions
'a key part of the Cold War confrontation."
In the opium brokers and tribal warlords of those regions, the CIA
found its "most effective covert action a.ssets," he said, adding that coop-
eration between the CIA and drug lords allowed for the widespread sup
ply of heroin to U.S. troops serving in Vietnam.
In addressing alternative policies for combating heroin that the United
States might consider adopting. McCoy suggested shifting funds from
the Drug Enforcement Agency to a U.N. crop substitution campaign.
In reaching a middle ground between the complete eradication of heru-
in. and its legalization, McCoy also mentioned changing the current U.S.
policy of mandatory incarceration for users to one of mandatory treat-
ment .
The talk was part of the Five College Program in Peace and World
Security Studies (PAWSS) fall semester lecture series.

ing throughout the Internet and has
hit college campuses stretching from
Boston University to the University of
Washington. And yes. it has even hit
locally at Smith College and Mount
Holyoke College. And according to my list of e-mail
recipients, boy did it spread around Mount Holyoke!
If you haven't had the priNilege of reading the ingenious
work of four of our nation's finest bright young minds,
then I will show you. I won't reiterate the great 75 rea-
sons, but I have instead come up with my owti list. I call it
"The top 10 of the top 75 reasons why women should not
have freedom of speech." (Please note these are taken
from the list made up by they Cornell students.)
10 I could give a shit if you're pregnant.

8. This is my dick. I'm going to fuck you. No more

5. Nothing should come out of a woman's iiKxith. swallow

4. Because they're not men.
Kind of makes you feel sick? Sorry about the vulgarities.
but they're exactly quoted. Given that these guys have
publicly apologized in the Cornell newspaper expressing
^___^^_^ their deep remorse for their stupid
actions, and that the list was only a
joke to be circulated among friends, it
still does not fully excuse them.
They have publicly humiliated every
woman in the world. And yes guys.
that includes your girlfriends, your sis-
ters and even your mother. "That top
10 list are some of the things they feel
about them.
I'll admit that my top 10 list is a little
biased. Some people may find any of the
other 65 sutements more offensive. But
as you can see, most of the ten I listed
illustrated the brutality of rape. They
had the immaturity to joke about such a
theme because they obviously have never been a victim, nor
do they have any loved ones who have been a victim.
In that sense they're lucky because many of us are twt
in their position of being ignorant to the issue of rape !
dare them to look into the eyes of a rape victim and say
she shouldn't be able to cry rape or say no.
Their public humiliation was not intended. They may
have been stupid enough to forget that once you send some-
thing through e-mail, it can be sent all around the world
But I think they are smart enough to rationalize that if
all the women at Cornell were to see their list, they'd
never make any friends again, and they're only freshmen.
Now Cornell administrators are debating whether or
not to discipline them What do you think? Their stupidity
has got them in trouble, and their perversion and sexist
"jokes" are now exposed.
Their parents are going to find out. and I'm sure this is
something their Mommys will stick on the refrigerator
door.

Giving thanks for Thanksgiving
Mark
McGrath
The weather is starting to become chilly and the mit
tens are out of their boxes. The leaves, when dry
enough, go tumbling across the street with the
5vind There's little doubt about it. Thanksgiving is upon
us once again.
Thanksgiving has to be the grandest of
holidays, especially for the typical college
student. Next to it. Labor Day. St. Patrick's
Day and even Christmas pale in compari-
son There's just something about the
fourth Thursday in November that makes this student
want to write a column about it.
The first reason why Thanksgiving is such a great holi-
day for students is because of timing. By the end of
November, everyone seems to be just about studied-out.
The four day window created by the holiday gives just
enough time for the student to regroup and settle down
for December's stretch run.
Similarly, the Thanksgiving break is an instant cure for
the homesickness which can be brought on by a length of
time away from the friends and family that are so plentiful
back home Because of the traditional football games and
dinners, a student can renew a seemingly endless number
of relationships on one day. When renewing the friend-
ships, students get a sense that they'll be home sooner
than they thought, making the last few weeks of the
semester go by that much faster
Thanksgiving is also much cheaper than the other holi-
days in its class. Let's face it. the typical student is pretty
poor at this point in the semester. While other holidays
cost a literal fortune. Thanksgiving costs next to nothing.
The most expensive pan of the holiday, the meal, is usual-
ly paid for by the time you get home, and did I mention
you get food?
The food is far and away the best part of this holiday.
There's turkey. Turkey may not be the best, most flavorful
type of meat, but it has its advantages. As big as a turkey
is, it has quite a diverse body. There is the white meat and
the dark meat, and they co-exist happily. There's the
neck, which I can break without feeling guilty, and there
are the giblets, a still unexplained phenomenon. Last, but
certainly not least, there is the best part of the turkey, the
skin Crispy and loaded with fat and cholesterol, the skin
is enough to wet any healthy appetite.
Wliat a wonderful creation the turkey is,
and it only trots by once a year.
Throw in some stuffing, potatoes, gravy
and cranberry sauce, and you've got your-
self quite a meal. Nothing could top a good
TTianksgiving meal, except maybe a good Thanksgiving
dessert. If there's any rtxmi left in your belly, you're in for
a treat. Cakes and pies and brownies and eclairs — I'm
getting excited just thinking about it. Nothing can help a
student get over DC appetite syndrome like a good
Thanksgiving feast.
Another great thing about Thanksgiving is the fact any-
one can celebrate it. It has no religious affiliations. While
most prominent holidays are religious in nature.
Thanksgiving is purely American and celebrated almost
universally.
It also doesn't need any kind of mythical mascot to keep
up its popularity. What would Christmas be like without
Santa Clause? Easter without the bunny? Thanksgiving is
fully able to stand on its own. Granted, there are the
Pilgrims and the Native Americans, but taking them away
does little to alter the concept of the holiday.
Thanksgiving is a holiday with principle. To put aside a
day to give thanks for what we have is noble. We really
should be thankful every day, but in our society we tend
to take things for granted, and even a short reminder of
how lucky we are can only help to bring about that under-
standing.
So, this week, when you're heading home to give
thanks, think not only of your family and your freedom.
Think of how lucky we are to have such a holiday as
Thanksgiving. Enjoy the time off. and save me a drum-
stick.

Always ratting on the royals
If you didn't already know.
Princess Diana gave the BBC an
exclusive interview which was
aired in England yesterday The
interview, which was kept secret,
stunned Buckingham Palace, and for
days people have been speculating
that this was Diana's revenge for
Prince Charles' interview last year in
which he revealed he had been
unfaithful.
Chances are, it's just a juicy oppor-
tunity for Diana to tell the whole
world her side of the story. It would
be nice to know if she actually made
those dirty phone calls to Oliver
Hoare, or if she's really responsible
for the break-up of a close friend's
marriage. Maybe, if we're really
lucky, she'll dish out how she really
feels about The Firm — as she calls
the Royal family.
Honestly, what Diana has to say
doesn't seem that significant in light
of recent events around the world
Maybe we'll get a look at one of the
most public figures in the world and
see a side of Shy Di that we haven't
seen before, but the interview itself
isn't earth-shattering. In fact, the tri-
als and tribulations of the current
young royals seem almost trivial in
light of past history.
The divorce dilemma can be
answered with the shining example of
Henry VIII, probably one of the most
colorful figures in English history.
Henry VIII divorced two of his wives
(of course he had to create his own
church to divorce the first one) and
beheaded two of them. All the while,
Henry was claiming he was on the
marital fast-track for England.
In this respect, the Queen and her
family are doing pretty okay —
Princess Anne and Princess Margaret
are the only ones who have been
married more than once, and neither
have beheaded their respective
ex-spouses.
Then there was Mary Queen of
Scots who takes the cake for adul-
tery The Scottish Queen, who was
beheaded by Elizabeth I. not only had
her second husband Lord Darnley
murdered, but then eloped with his
murderer. So far, Charles and Diana
aren't that desperate to be rid of each
other.
Of course, questions are going to
come up about Diana's relationship
with her horse trainer Past history
One of Queen
Victoria 's sons has been
suspected of being Jack
the Ripper What's
Charles' public laundry
airing compared to
that?
Seema Gangatirkar
has revealed that the Nine Days'
Queen )ane Grey's mother, Frances,
married her stable hand after her
husband and daughter were executed
by Mary I for treason.
The possibility Charles and Di
will divorce is extremely slim. You
don't have to look too far back in
history to find the current Queen's
uncle. Edward VII. who gave up the
throne to be with Wallis Walford
Simpson. England wouldn't accept
the divorced American Wallis for
queen, and chances are the country
won't accept the now divorced
Camilla Parker Bowles as Queen
either.
Which leaves the whole fate of the
monarchy in question. Crirics say the
antics of the young royals have
destroyed the illusion and mysticism
of a great tradition The problem is
that because they are royals, because
they are supposed to be bigger than
life, we have created expectations the
Firm cannot possibly live up to.
The English Royal family is only
human and they make human mis-
takes. They've probably been making
those mistakes all along — the public
probably just never knew about
them.
One of Queen Victoria's sons has
been suspected of being |ack the
Ripper. What's Charles' public laun
dry airing compared to that?
These days, media is so prevalent
because the public desire for knowl-
edge about public figures is
unquenchable. It's imperative to
know that Fergie spent a week with
Prince Andrew or where Diana
works out. The stories are usually
accompanied by pictures of steamed
royals glaring at the camera.
With all the in-your-face journal-
ism, does it really seem incredible
that Charles and Diana's marriage
would last? They were never given
the chance to get to know each other
away from the cameras.
Not content to rest with the par-
ents, the journalists are going after
Prince William who just started at
Eton this past fall. It's well-knovm
that three or four of William's class-
mates rat on the heir to the throne to
the newspapers.
Now everyone's scared out of their
wits about what Diana has to say.
Probably, if she gets a chance.' she'll
tell everyone to bug off. Now that
would be something worth listening
to.

The lighter side of snacking
Did you ever just sit down and wonder who comes
up with some of the stuff you see and hear in
everyday life? Well, if you have then you would
certainly realize that some of it can be pretty funny when
you look at it a little differently.
Take, for instance, the wonderful world of snack cakes
and the like. Let's start with everyone's favorite, the
"Twinkie."
What was it about this cake that made someone at the
big table in Hostess heaven look at it and go hmm ...
Twinkie, yeah, Twinkie?
It boggles the mind to think that some-
one actually sat down and thought of a
name for this snack and came up with
Twinkie. Not to mention they got paid to
do so. WTiat type of qualifications must
one have to acquire a position such as that
of the obviously knowledgeable namer of
the Twinkie? I figure they must need at
least a degree from kindergarten.
How about the good ol' "Yodels"?
Where did they come up with this one?
Are they really expecting us to break into a
stunning rendition of "yodel lay hee hoo"
after biting into one of these. I don't know about you
folks, but when I bite into a yodel I'd like to believe I
could do so without the fear of popping a lung from
singing afterwards.
I think "Ho-Ho's" are on the same wavelength as
Yodels. They were probably named by the same person.
Seriously, is this not the happiest soul on earth or what?
So I suppose after stuffing a Ho-Ho down my esophagus
I'm going to run out and buy a big fuzzy red and white
suit, get some reindeer, hire some elves and go stuff
myself down chimneys. I think not.
I don't think I'll even giggle after eating a Ho-Ho, let
alone letting out a full bellied "Ho-Ho-Ho." I'll bet the
genius that named the previous snacks probably named
those jelly candies "Chuckles" after conquering the
"Ho-Ho project."
Let's not forget the "halfway healthy" granola bar
"Kudos." That sounds strikingly similar to something I
might feed my dog instead of myself. "Here Rover, I just
poured you a nice big bowl of Kudos."
Or we could take it a little farther down the gastroin-
testinal tract, "dammit, I just stepped in a big pile of dog
Kudos!" Fits quite nicely don't you think?
Since we are on the topic of dogs it would be a sin to
leave out the dreaded "Devil Dog." Let's see, are we sup-
posed to eat this thing or fear it? Devil Dog? Hmm... you
mean like Cujo or Old Yeller. I wonder what it was that
made this dog such a devil? Maybe he had
one too many bowls of Kudos.
Whatever you do just don't offer your dog
some donuts. What's that? Dough-nuts!
Yikes! That sounds horrible. It sounds like a
testicular disease. I can see it now, "Hey
Bob, what's the matter you look a little
under the weather?" "Well Phil, I've got a
raging case of the donuts."
"Oooh, that's too bad Bob. but as long as
their not Dunk- in donuts you'll be okay,"
"I know if they were, they might turn into
full blown crullers."
Time to make the donuts? No thanks. I
think I'll have some pancakes instead.
On the opposite end of the naming spectrum we have
"Little Debbies." It's quite clear that Little Deb didn't
waste any money by hiring that Twinkie fella to name
their products. Virtually every one of their snacks is called
pretty much what they are.
We have the Little Debbies Snack Cakes, the Oatmeal
Cream Pies. Peanut Butter Bars, and the Swiss Cake Rolls.
I get a little foggy about the Swiss part, but the rest is
pretty straightforward.
So the next time you go to bite into a delicious snack
of any sort, stop and think about the name of it for a lit-
tle while. I'll bet a lot of them will have you yodeling and
ho- hoemg so much you won't be able to finish eating.
As for me, I've got to go pick some chocolate out of my
teeth.

Brosnan is golden as the new James Bond
By Loura Stock

Directed by Mortin Campbell
with Pierce Brosnan
Piayit^ at Hompshire Six
He's the best looking guy in a
tuxedo. He can blow up buildings
with his watch. He never winces in
the face of death. He's got a killer
car. and all the babes. He has a
license to kill. He's Pierce Brosnan
— the new lames Bond — and
unlike his martinis, he's not shaken
or stirred.
Brosnan takes the baton from j
string of former Bonds — Sean
Connery (no one will top the origi-
nal Bond), George Lazenby
(one-hit wonder), Roger Moore
(decent in a pinch) and Timothy
Dalion (a quick replacement for a
"Remington Steele"-locked
Brosnan). Pierce's Bond finishes
this race in an admirable second
place.
Once we have Bond suited up in
an array of Italian suits, sealed
behind the wheel of a brand-new
baby blue BMW (to compliment his
steely sapphire eyes) and outfitted
with some of Q's gadgets of the
secret agent sort, he is ready to
roll.
Secret agents go head-to-hcad in
Goldeneye. as (X)7 is on the chase for
British spy-turned Russian favoritist,
006. His cronies are a vicious
Russian general and a raven-haired
vixen who's specialite is strangling
the torsos of men until they suffo-
cate. She also adds to the sexual
overtones of the movie with the
orgasmic screams that she emits as
she is shooting people.
The trio of villains, along with an
expert computer geek, succeeded in
stealing the Goldeneye — a device
that can launch Russian missiles from
a saiellite in outer space. Bond's mis-
sion is to slop them from setting off a
second bomb.
Bond also has his obligatory love
interest — a Russian computer pro-
grammer who simultaneously dodges
bullets and falls in love with him.
Director Martin Campbell {No
Escape) has captured the Bond feel-
ing with Goldeneye. All of the tradi-
tional aspects are there — the cat and
mouse car chase with a beautiful
woman. Bond's adept climbing capa-
bilities and the action camera angles

The irony about Bond movies,
though, is while he is smooth, sophis-
ticated and serious, the film is not.
It's thrilling and escapist while funny

Brosnan certainly is a pleasure to
watch, supplying the film with the
savvy of a British spy. No amount
of gunfighls or plane crashes can
wrinkle his suits, or his attitude. He
just straightens his tic. winks in the

THE AMCMCAN KESIDENT
Directed by Rob Reiner
with Michael Dougbs, Annefe Benir>g

When the tenderhearted and wid-
owed President of the United Slates
meets a beautiful and feisty envi-
ronmental lobbyist, both political
parlies are left seeing stars and

title .American Fairytale (or this
romantic, almost royal, tale of love in
the While House. It has that
Rcincr-csque feel-good characteristic
that wins over audiences {When
Harry Met Sally. ) combined with a
sharp political plot that adds drama
{A frti' Good Men).
Michael Douglas plays President
Andrew Shephard — a Democratic
president with a staff resembling
that of President Clinton's. Michael
|. Fox plays the President's advisor
and speechwriter, Lewis Rothschild,
and Martin Sheen is the chief of
siaff. A. I.
Douglas (or commonly referred to
as "Mr. President") flourished in a
role where he wasn't evil or sadistic,
or the male victim of an evil or sadis-
tic woman — the Fatal Attraction.
War of the Roses. Basic Instinct and
Disclosure days are far behind
Douglas with this part. He shows off
his soft side, and is so romantic you
forget that il is Douglas on the
screen.
Douglas isn't the only one with his
heart on his sleeve. Annette Bening
plays Sidney Ellen Wade — a k>bbyist
fur an environmcnial corporation
who captures the President's fancy
by, basically, insulting him (in the
political arena, uf course).
The President brings Sidney to a
Cinderelli-iikc State dinner, where
she charms his friends and they
dance all night. His motherless
daughter likes Sidney at once, and
even his chief of staff, A.|. approves.
It all seems so perfect, for a little
while.
The problem the President faces
is the central question that Reiner
based the movie upon — can you
be the President and also be a
human being, that is, a male human
being who wants to have a social
life?
Douglas and Bening cannot escape
political persecution under the scruti-
ny of the public. It is election year,
and when it comes lo character
judgement it remains true tu life thai
we can't expect the Presideni to
uphold all sorts of morals.
It also docs not help that Douglas'
opponent for the presidency (a wily
Richard Drcyfuss) is mudslinging with
the best uf them, making sure the press
watches their every intimate move.
Reiner (who also produced the
film) shot the movie in a very presi-
dential way. The shot of Douglas
making a sentimental glance out of
the Oval Office window is haunt ingly
reminiscent of President Kennedy.
Reiner also remains constant. He
keeps that ijUBJsive (Isvur running
when ex'ery time the coUpf'e kisses,

Amidst the backdrop of a solid and

Student Union Ballroom
Nov. 17
This past Friday 511 brought
their guitar driven rap music lo the
Student Union Ballroom. Opening
the show was Shoolyz Groove who
consist uf two rappers and a back
up band thai plays hardcore stomp
grooves.
Throughout Shoolyz Groove's
short set, the two lead rappers kept
there heads bobbing lo ihe back up
music, while giving props lo 51 1
and even the UMass basketball
squad. Ending with "Swimming In
The Ocean," rapper Spec appropri-
ately made a stage dive into the sea
of people.
Although the crowd seemed
pleased with the old school rapping
flavors that Shoolyz Groove
offered, it was 5 1 1 "s guitar driven
hip hop that the crowd so eagerly
anticipated. Opening the set with
"Fourth Of luly." both singers
Nicholas Hexum and Count SA
displayed their rapping skills as
well as their laid back singing
styles, while drummer Chad Sexton
and bassist P. Nut supplied the
backup beats.
Playing a wide variety of materi-
al from all three of their albums.
Count SA danced and played his
tambourine throughout the show.
In addition Hexum's energy was on
high as well. During the song
"Down" off of their new record
entitled Zll. Hexum displayed his
musical talents by playing chunky
guitar riffs while singing "You
Know Thai We Have Always Been
Down- Down."
While 511 did not play their
latest single, ihcy still performed
most of the crowd's favorites
from their first album 5// Music.
Songs such as "Welcome." and
the limes Brown sounding "Freak
Out' got the crowd into a dancing
frenzy. However, if there was a
down point of the show, ii
occurred when the band slowed
things down to a Sanlana- like
style jam session pace — this left
some people heading fur the mer-
chandise stands.
5 1 1 drew the crowd back when
ihey went into there herb inspired
song "Hydroponic." where Hexum
and Count SA sang in perfect harmo-
ny, "lumpin' oui my skin/The skin
I'm in/ And the hydroponic's on."

Sensual cedar sculptures on display at Gallery
Ursula von Rydingsvard*s "Socks On My Spoons** filled with amazing art
By H. Vorick Pehon
Collegion Cofrejponden.
#11 tmmmMmmwm
URSULA VON RYDINr,SVAKD: SOCKS ON MY
SPOONS
University Gallery
rstev 4-Dbc 15
"Sensuous, soft and sexy" are the words
Ursula von Rydingsvard uses to describe the
cedar she works with. Von Rydingsvard is
known for her large indoor and outdoor sculp-
tures carved from cedar beams. "Socks On My
Spoons," currently on exhibit at the University
Gallery, contains impressive samples of von
Rydingsvard_s work in cedar, as well as pieces
introducing her use of peat moss and animal
intestine.
Von Rydingsvard appeared at an opening
reception in ihe gallery Thursday night, where
she presented a slide show and answered ques-
tions about her work. The slides included many
of her large-scale outdoor commissions, as well
as shots of her studio and pieces under construc-
tion.
Several audience questions focused on von
Rydingsvard.s role as a woman in such a labor
intensive profession.
"Since I am a woman, I wasn't born into a tra-
dition of having to use tools a certain way. I don't
handle tools the way men do. ..we really use
tools."
Von Rydingsvard also commented thai she does
not consider herself lo be a feminist.
The title of the exhibit is derived from two uf
the works currently on display. The pieces consist
of a collection of long oar-like poles with pods
on the end. Cow intestine or peat moss has been
stretched over the pods and dried, resulting in
the sock-like appearance. The use uf cuw intes-
tine and peat moss is a new departure for the
artist which "extends the potential of meaning in
Ihe work."
The sculptures are created from 4" x 4" cedar
beams of varying lengths which are slacked and
glued together. The carving is done primarily with
chisels, mallets, circular hand-saws and grinders.
The cuts, while rough aiKl unfinished, reflect a firm
sense of harmony and significance.
While much of ihe labor of building and culling
is done by assistants, all uf the cuts arc dictated by
ihc arlist as she draws where the cuts are to be
made. Large expanses of surface area offer a cre-
ative opportunity fur von Rydingsvard to do carv-
fng which she calls "drawing with ihe circular
saw."
The artist uses a method called reversed stacking
when piecing the boards together, which results in
a very lexiural and three-dimensional surface. The
pieces are finished with a black wash which is
rubbed on and then scuured away. About this
process von Rydingsvard comments thai "ihc wood
has to seep il up, it can't feel as though il is painied
on Ihe surface."
The University Gallery, located on the lower
level of the Fine Arts Center, is open to the public
Tuesday through Friday from II a.m. to 4:30
p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 2 p.m. to 5
p.m..

Vampires are back, unfortunately
By Justin Daniel Smith
Collegian Correspondent
THE ADDICTION
Directed by Abel Ferraro
with Lili Toylof, Christopher Walken
and Annobello Sciorra
Playing at Pleasont St Theater
Cinema has a vast history uf
movies dealing with vampires. From
the beginning with F.W. Mumau's
Sosferaiu and the insurmountable
works of Bela Lugosi to the more
recent Interx'iew with a Vampire and
Francis Ford Coppola's Bram
Stoker's Dracula. these creatures ol
the night are omnipresent. Earlier
this fall Michael Almereyda's dark
and twisted \aJjii offered, if nothing
else, a visually impressive piece of
work. With the upcoming Tarantino-
scripted From Dusk till Dawn and
Mel Brooks' zany Dracula: Dead and
Loving It. the big question is do we
really need another vampire movie?
The latest in the never ending
chronicles of the vampire is The
Addiction. Abel Ferrara. who comes
off as a vain stepchild of Martin
Scorsese, directs this modern day
opus. Ferrara made a great disturbing
vision of a corrupt New York City
policeman with Bad Lieutenant, with
Harvey Keilel quite easily living up to
the title role. Ferrara's King of Seu'
York, star-packed with the likes of
Christopher Walken. Laurence
Fishbume and Wesley Snipes was dis-
appointing, only coming off as .some-
thing of a pa-quel to New lack City.
Like the early films of Scorsese.
Ferrara likes to present the gritty
depths of New York City. Whereas
Scorsese's stories laid out the puzzle
pieces for you to play with. Ferrara
tends to stick them more in your face.
whether you want them there or not.
Like Nadja. Ferrara shot The
.Addiction in a grayish black-
and-white tone that works well with
the characters and the overall mood.
He uses light and darkness to create
lilm noir- esque use of shadows that
recur throughout the film.
The main vampire in this outing is
Lili Taylor, best know for her smaller
parts in films such as Say .Xnything.
Short Cuts and thf upcoming Four
Rooms. She plays Katherine ConkJin. a
philosophy graduate student whose life
is radically changcxi when she becomes
a vampire. Lili Taylor just doesn't have
the charisma to tackle such a compli-
cated role. She works belter in smaller
roles where the audience need not
delve so deep into her character.
Katherine is in her own personal
struggle to get her doctorate and to
understand the philosophy of her life
when along comes a woman named
Casanova, played by the miscast
Annabella Sciorra. who asks
Katherine to tell her to leave her
alone. Katherine. in terror, does not
respond so Casanova suckles a heap-
ing portion of blood from her neck.
It seems obvious that the casting
agent wanted Isabella Rossellini for
the part of Casanova but took
Anabella Sciorra because she could
look like Rossellini and because she
was also Italian.
Katherine begins her transfonnatk>n
into a vampire. At first she doesn't
even know it. but soon she develops
the hunger (the addiction) for blood.
She proceeds to claim some victims of
her own including her pnjfessor and a
local hood played by Fredro of the
bakl-headed rap group. Onyx.
She continues to thirst for blood,
all the while rambling off philosophi-
cal quotes from Kierkegard and
Feuerbach when she runs into veter-
an vampire Christopher Walken.
Walken delivers a comic bit part a la
Pulp Fiction, in which he tells
Katherine that she can avoid the
addiction of the vampire and could
live like a regular person.
The story continues with Katherine
and her battle with being a vampire
and trying to remain mortal. Ferrara
tries to tackle the ongoing struggle
between people and the presence of
evil. He dilutes the real issue by try-
ing to reinforce it with philosophical
quotes and parallels with
humankind's past travesties (includ-
ing graphic images from the
Holocaust). Ferrara is amassed with
potential but the world could do
without another vampire movie. C-
Red Sox renew contract with Kennedy
By Howard Ulman
Associated Press
BOSTON ^ Kevin Kennedy, who
led the Boston Red Sox to the AL
East title in his first season as their
manager, has patched up his dilfer-
ences with the club and accepted a
one-year contract extension through
the 1997 season.
Monday's announcement by gener-
al manager Dan Duquette came I I
days after Kennedy rejected an earlier
offer that "shocked" him.
"There's give and take in every
negotiation." Duquette said
Monday. "Kevin's a hard-nosed guy
and he likes to be well compensat-
ed."
He said terms of Kennedy's 199b
contract were not renegotiated, and
he didn't disclose terms for the extra
year. Kennedy's original contract had
salaries of $500,000 for 1995 and
$350,000 for 1996. After learning of
the earlier offer, which reportedly
contained a $50,000 raise for 1997.
he had said.
"Quite frankly. I'm hurt. ... What
they offered would be a normal raise
for any manager. What's the reward
for winning'.'"
Duquette later said he was sur-
prised that Kennedy had gone public
with his dissatisfaction.
Duquette said Monday the original
contract contained provisions for a
bonus based on the team's 1995 per-
formance.
Kennedy, fired by Texas after the
1994 season, succeeded Butch
Hobson. who was fired alter leading
Boston to a 54-61 record and fourth-
plsce finish. The Red Sox turned that
around last season with an 86-58
record and a seven-game advantage
over the second-place New York
Yankees. But they were swept in
three games by Cleveland in the first
playoff round.
The Red Sox took over first place
on May I 3 and stayed there the rest
of the way despite constant personnel
turnover.
Kennedy "kept the team together
and in the race with a team record 53
players." Duquette said.
'He's a young manager and we
think he'll continue to improve."
Duquette also announced that
bench coach Tim Johnson, had
signed a two-year contract through
the 1997 season.
The only change on the coaching
staff is the promotion of Dave
Carlucci from bullpen catcher to
bullpen coach, replacing Herm
Starrette. who will be reassigned to a
minor-league coaching position
Duquette said.
First-base coach Frank While,
third-base coach Dave Oliver, hitting
coach |im Rice and pitching coach Al
Nipper will return, johnny Pesky wi
remain as a special assistant, helping
Kennedy before the game and in the
dugout.
The Red Sox also promoted three
players to bring their major-league
roster to 59. one less than the maxi-
mum. They are first baseman Ryan
McGuire and left-handed pitchers
Rafael Orellano and Rich Ketti.
McGuire hit .333 at Trenton of
the Eastern League last season,
while Orellano was I 1-7 with a
5.09 ERA for the same club. Betti
had a 5-1 record with three saves
for three Class A teams in the
Boston system.
Pats release Hurst after Sunday's loss
By Jimmy Golen
Associaled Press
FOXBORO — The New England
Patriots cut cornerback Maurice
Hurst on Monday, a day after he was
burned on two 40 yard passes in a
24-10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
The seven-year veteran clean-d out
his locker before practice. Coach Bill
Parcells made no mention of it in his
morning news conference and nei-
ther he nor the players were avail-
able for comment after Hurst was
informed.
"This has been pretty much a
nightmare season. It seems things
have gone totally wrong." Hurst said
after Sunday's loss dropped the
Patriots to 4-7 and all but eliminated
them from the playoff race. "I keep
myself going by telling myself it's not
life and death."
For those who remain, the rest of
the season seems nothing more than
a matter of pride. It was a far differ-
ent mood from a week ago. when the
Patriots won their second in a row —
and third out of four ~ to rebound
from a five — game losing streak.
Last year's team won it's last seven
games to finish 10-6 and make the
playoffs, and as long as that record
was within reach the Patriots weren't
going to give up. Or so they said.
"It's really disappointing to play
just the total opposite of how we
played the week before." safety Terry
Ray said. "Whatever the playoff pic-
ture is down the road, it doesn't mat-
ter for us. We've got to get back to
playing the way wc were."
New England is looking at a 9 7
finish — al best. That was good
enough for four teams to earn a
wild— card K'rth last year (three of
them in the NFC Central), but the
Patriots know they won't win even
one of their last five if they play like
they did on Sunday. "I just hope that
guys take pride in how they finish
up." linebacker Ted lohnson said.
"I'd like to think we've still got some
pride left."
Hurst had vlarted every game lor
the previous three seasons and led
the team in interceptions for each of
the last six. With 27 career pickoffs.
he was sixth on the Patriots all-lime
list and just three from being No. 2.
He had been considered one of the
Patriots' most dependable defensive
backs coming into the season. But he
has just one interception this year —
among the disappointments in the
Patriots' disappointing season.
On Sunday. Hurst was burned by
Sean Dawkins for a 40-yurd pass in
the second quarter that set up
Indianapolis' second touchdown. He
was the victim again in the fourth,
when |im Harbaugh hit him for
another 40 yards to set up the TD
that made it 24-10.
Hurst, who makes $1 .4 million this
season, was jeered by the fans as he
left the field after the game.
"It doesn't really get to me." he
said. "More than anything. I feel bad.
We weren't, and I wasn't, able to
perfonn at the level I wanted."

'80$ folk legend Tracy Chapman will be appearing at the John M. Greene Hall at Smith College in
Northampton on Monday, December 4 at 8 p.m. Tickets for the show are $23.50 for general admission
seating and arc available at the Northampton Box Office.
Not only are the NFL playoff races
taking shape, so arc the coaching
vacancies.
This week's update: Wayne Fontes
is still coaching in Detroit and look-
ing like he might survive, but the
Giants' Dan Reeves seems on the

The biggest coaching splash this
weekend involved Reeves, who now
seems almost sure to be gone from
New York after the season, not as
much for his 5-8 record but for pub-
licly airing his differences with gener-
al manager George Young.
Reeves says that unless he gels
more power, he'll leave when his
contract expires in two years.
Giants president Wellington Mara
says: "He and George are both at
the top of their professions But all
you have to do is look at our record
— we are behind both expansion
teams — and it invokes a lot of
questions."
Reeves' feud with Young
involves the same issue that got
him fired in Denver after the 1992
season — his desire for total per-
sonnel control.
He said he didn't need it when he
applied for the Giants' job (New
York didn't seek him out). So after
Dave Wannstedt and Tom Coughlin
turned him down, Young went to
Reeves and he went 1 1-5 (with Phil
Simms at quarterback) in 1995.
earned coach of the year honors and
took Dallas into overtime of the sea-
son's final game before losing the
NFC F^st title.
But his personnel decisions — and
Young has ceded him many of the
veteran signings — have turned the
team into what has been mockingly
called "the New jersey Broncos."
Some of Reeves' ex-Broncos have
turned out well (Michad Brooks and
Brad Daluiso). others haven't (Mark
Jackson. David Treadwell. Mike
Crocl. Arthur Marshall) but the over-
all philosophy has turned the defense
into a light unit that NFC East teams
can run right through.

Donaghue takes home 50th in NCAA^s
By Coity Kane
Collegian Staff
All season long, Massachusetts women's cross country
harrier Rebecca Donaghue and suc-
cess have gone hand in hand. It is
only fitting that the final race of her
season was the pinnacle of collegiate
running.
Donaghue raced alongside the
nation's elite yesterday, competing at
the NCAA Championships in Ames,
Iowa. Posting a lime of 18:08,
Donaghue placed 50th. out of 183
runners.
Perennial powerhouse Providence
won the overall national title with 88
points. Colorado took second (123).
Villanova placed third (151) and
Brigham Young claimed fourth (164).
Oregon rounded out the top five over-
all tcam!> with 1 74 points.
Kathy Butler, a senior from the
Wisconsin, laid claim to the top indi-
vidual spot, posting a 16:51. Arizona
freshman Amy Skieresz took second
place, in 16:55. Third place belonged
to Jennifer Rhincs, a Villanova senior,
with a time of 17:02.
Donaghue. the first UMass women
ever to qualify for the NCAA
Championships, has enjoyed unparralled success this year.
As the top runner in this year's UMass program,
Donaghue never failed to be the first Minutewoman
across the line all season.
The Stowe native led the Minutcwomen to a 7-0-1
record, while breaking her personal record three times. Al
the Thetford invitational, she took second overall. The
year's second meet against UConn and Maine presented
Donaghue with her first serious chal-
lenge of the year, and she placed third
behind the powerful Husky duo of
Danyelle Wood and Katie O'Toole.
Donaghue claimed the top spot at
the year's third meet, the UMass
Invitational. With a new personal
record time of 17:55, Donaghue
cruised to victory, and was named
UMass Athlete of the Week.
She only got better as the season
progressed, taking 12th at the pres-
tigous Paul Short Invitational, in
Bethlehem, Penn. At Franklin Park, in
Boston. Donaghue placed second
overall at the New England
Championships.
With a time of 17 38. Donaghue
claimed second place overall at the
Atlantic 10 Championships. Leading
the team to the championship title,
she was named to a spot on the
All-Atlantic 10 team.
Hut the season all came down to
the ECAC Championships, the
national qualifier. Clocking a per-
sonal best 17:28 al Franklin Park,
the sophomore sensation gained a berth to the NCAAs.
Donaghue's 50th place finish at the national champi-
onship meet put her ahead of St. loc's Sue Yaagiel.ski. the
only person to place ahead of Donaghue at the A-IOs.

we've just got to keep going.'
Kristin Schambach was one of
many swimmers on the day that pro-
vided a strong effort in the UMass
victory.
"She stepped it up real well for us
today." said Newcomb. "She swam
the l(X)0 yard freestyle for the first
time this year finishing third, and she
had a good aggressive finish in the
500 yard freestyle."
Meghan Maiacera had a fine per-
formance this meet, in just her first
year with this team.
'She won the 100 back-stroke. and
was second in the 200 backstroke at
BU which is probably one uf the
finest backstrokers we'll lace all
year.' said Newcomb. "She had a
good day."
lulie Alexander, also a freshman,
had two second place finishes in both
the 100 and 200 yard breaststroke
events.
"She had a great meet,* said
Newcomb. 'She finished second to a
women who was the East Coast
Athletic Conference champion last
year in both brcaststrokes.'
The divers of UMass had strong
competition against the Terriers in
both the one and three meter diving
events.
"The divers are coming along,"
said Newcomb. "I was really
impressed with the intensity of this
meet, and they really responded well
loit. Hats off to them."
Angelique Rodriquez picked up
second place in the three meter div-
ing event. Brooke Foley for BU look
first in both events.
Ina Kossenko turned out first place
finishes in the 100 and 200 yard Hy,
with very good times vanning by over
three seconds against BU in the 200.
Barbara Hickey. UMass' outstand-
ing distance swimmer came in sc«:oih1
in both the 500 and 1000 yard
frcestylcs to Laura Tuck of BU. com-
ing in only two tenths of a second
behind in the 500.
UMass has outscored the competi-
tion in the past three meets 506.5 to
318.5.
The Minutewomen will have three
practices this coming week before
they take a much deserved
Thanksgiving break. They will return
to action al the beginning of
December as they will head lo the
New England Championships being
held at the University ol Connecticut.
"This team is pumped.* said
Newcomb. "I say New Englands,
watch out."
Thus far the federal government furlough has extended
to the Air Force Academy's hockey team.
The Falcons will fly into the William D. Mullins Center
Friday and Saturday night on the heels of demoralizing
11-2 and 9-1 losses to RPI this weekend at Houston
Field house.
Eariier in the season Air Force (1-6-3) split a weekend
series with Division III Elmira, as the Falcons claimed
their sole victory of this season 7-5 after falling to them
5-4 the night before.
Air Force played well in a pair of ties earlier this season
against UMass-Lowell. The River Hawks played to 3-3
and 2-2 ties at the Falcons' Cadet Ice Arena. The two lies,
and a 7-4 loss lo UMass are the only blemishes on
Lowell's 6-1-2 mark ihis season.
Last year the Minutemen emerged from Colorado
Springs with a lie and a loss and will hope that their
newfound winning ways will help them avenge the
defeat.
The 1995 edition of the UMass hockey team has
accomplished feats unheard of for the 1994 verswn. From
opening night when it tallied a school record five power
play goals al Army. UMass has witnessed an incredible
turn- around, evidenced by its three Hockey East wins.
UMass won only three league games all ol last season.
A marked improvement in the Minutemen has been
their ability to control the play of a game. The Minutemen
fiave outshol their opponents in five of their seven games
this year, equaling last year's total. Much of the shots
have come on the power f>lay. where UMass is 12 of 60
(20 percent) so far after working al a horreiKk>us rate in
1994-95.
This weekend, at the Mullins Center in particular.
UMass forced league-leading Providence to abandon its
trapping defense and play a ntore up-lcmpo style.
« • •
Friday night's game at Providence was a record setting
affair for senior Dale Hooper. Hooper tied laynen
Rissling's single game assist record with three assists on
the nighl. The three as.si$ts are made more impressive by
the fact that Hooper spent such a small amount of time on
the ice. Referees Steve McBride and Rich Fowkes whistled
the Rye. New Hampshire native for a school record 24
penalty minutes, including a pair of 10 minute miscon-
ducts.UMass has compiled a 3-l~l record against ser-
vice academies since the reinstatement of the
program... Rob Bonneau needs just one more goal lo
become only the third Minuleman lo ever score 50 in a
career. Bonneau is second amongst Hockey East players
with a total of nine goals on the year. Boston University's
lay Pandolfo leads the league with 10.

THE MASSACHUSETTS DAILY COLLEGIAN
Sports
Volleyball hosts A-10 Championships at Cage
By Steven Grant
Collegian Staff
While many students are on Thanksgiving break
enjoying some time off from their studies, the
Massachusetts volleyball team will be thankful it is still
on campus, as it earned a No. 5 seed in the Atlantic 10
Championships to be held this weekend at Curry Hicks
Cage
On Friday at 530 p.m.. the Minutewomen will take on
the No. 2 seeded Rh«jde Island Rams. That match is to be
lollowi'd by a contest between George
Washington (No 1) and Virginia ^— ^^^—
Tech (No. 4) at 7 p m. The winners of
both matches will play for the A-10
Championship on Saturday, at 7 p.m.
,\n A 10 championship would be
UMass' first e\er. and it would mean
a spot in the NCAA Championship
Tournament, whose Championships
are to be held here at the Mullins
Center on Dec. 14-16.
The team's position going into the
A-IOs is remarkably similar to last
season's In both years. UMass has
had momentum on their side going in.
Last season, the club had won 1 1 of
15. This year, the Minutewomen have
managed I 5 of 14.
In both cases. UMass. who finished the season 24-10.
1 5-5 in the A-10. owned the number three seed The only
difference is last year six teams qualified for the postsea-
son, as opposed to four this time around.
Last season. UMass's season ended with a loss to
Rhode Island in the second round. Coach Bonnie
Kenny is no doubt hoping that this is a trend that
won't continue, and with the way her team has been
playing of late, including a regular season-ending vic-
tory over the Rams, perhaps there's room for a little
confidence.
"This is the time of year you want to be playing well."
Kennv said "We've had our backs to the wall since late
"This is the time of
year you want to be
playing well. We 've had
our backs to the wall
since late September,
but we've responded in
a positive fashion. "
— Coach Bonnie Kenny
September, but we've responded in a positive fashion. The
chemistry is there, we're knowing what to expect from
each other on the court."
UMass split the season series with the Rams, as they
fell to URI at home on October Jrd. 5-1. So the 5-2
win on the road against them Thursday was an impor-
tant one. although Kenny doesn't feel it gives her team
an advantage.
"I definitely think it helps us." she said. "If we had
not won |on Thursday) there would have been some
doubt going in. But it doesn't give us an edge. The edge
is the fact that we're playing at home. TTie win did show
that we were capable of beating the
——^^—^^— No. 1 team in our conference, which
Rhode Island was when we beat
them."
junior Giza Rivera led the team
offensively on the season. The out-
side hitter averaged 4.865 kills per
game on the season, along with 455
kills total. Both were team highs.
What makes Rivera's feat so special
is the fact that she missed nine games
due to an ankle injury. Rivera was
also second on the team in digs with
a 5.146 average.
junior Lesley Nolan also had a
great year, as she averaged 5.703
k/gm. second on the team. Nolan
led the team in digs, with 5.640 dg/gm. Senior Rachel
Sky finished third on the team in digs, with a 5.043
average.
If UMass makes it to Saturday, chances are they will
face GW. the defending champions Not only have the
Minutewomen dropped both matches to the Colonials
this season, but their all-time record stands at a mere
2-12.
If Virginia Tech pulls off the upset, the odds may be a
bit more favorable. UMass has split the season series with
the Hokies. with the win coming at home.
"The team with the least amount of unforced errors can
win the tourney." Kenny said. "Hopefully that team will
be us. I think we have as good a chance as anybody to win
it."

Last weekend, the

Massachusetts women's swimming and diving team dropped the BU in Boyden Gym, beating
39.
UM beats BU, Menton wins three
By Joy WariMr
Collegian Staff
Watching the University of Massachu.selts men's swim-
ming and diving team battle a strong Boston University
squad this past weekend, you would see a talented group
of athletes in action. What you wouldn't know is. with key
swimmers absent from the lineup, the Minutemen defeat-
ed BU by a score of 156-142.
Due to personal reasons, illness,
injuries and prior commitment to
the UMass water polo team, the
swim team was missing personnel
that have been proven contenders
in the past. Despite those who were
MIA. the Minutemen who were in
action provided the drama, as the
meet wasn't decided until the final
relay race.
"I was expecting a close meet
because we were down a couple of
swimmers," said coach Russ
Yarworth "I always tell the kids not
to focus on who's not here, focus on
who's here. That's what we did and
we won some nice, close races."
The Minutemen started the day off ~
well as David Kuritkoski. Chris Martin, Geoff Gear and
Greg Menton ttxjk first place in the 200 yard medley relay
with a time of 1 : 38.96. Yarworth made it clear that he felt
the relay teams were a crucial part in winning the meet.
"It was a good team effort and swimming is often
thought of as an individual sport, but it is a team sport
because everyone must step up and swim as well as they
can, individually," Yarworth said.
Senior tri-captain Jeff Little followed the relay win with
a strong performance in the 1000 yard freestyle, winning
in a time of 10:15.88. Freshman B) Brannan was close
behind Little, finishing in 10:14.45.
Perhaps the single most impressive swimmer of the day
was junior Greg Menton, who, besides being a member of
the 200 medley relay winning team, was an individual
"// was a good team
effort and swimming is
often thought of as an
individual sport, but it
is a team sport because
everyone must step up
and swim as well as
they can, individually. "
— Coach Russ Yarworth
winner in the 50 yard and 100 yard freestyle events with
times of :21.79 and :48.20, respectively. Menton later
played a role in winning the decisive event of the match,
the 200 yard freestyle relay, as the team posted a victori-
ous time of 1:27.64.
With the spotlight on Menton. senior diver lustin
Murphy quietly disposed of the competition by winning
both the 1 meter and 5 meter events. Posting scores of
259 575 and 249.90 respectively, the points Murphy
earned in each event proved to be the
margin of victory for the Minutemen.
"He's got the talent and now he's
proven that he can take that talent and
put it to use," Yarworth said of
Murphy. "He's confident, he's mature,
and he's doing a good job."
The UMass freshman were once
again brilliant, providing hope for
the winning tradition to continue in
the future.
Most notably. Gear and Brian
Wisniewski placed second and third in
the 200 yard freestyle with times of
1:48.65 and 1:51.20, respectively. Gear
went on to win the 100 yard butterfly
with a time of :52.89 and Wisniewski
later placed second in the 200 yard
backstroke with a time of 2:00.55.
"Our freshmen are doing a great job and I just want to
see them continue to improve and gain experience," said
Yarworth. "All in all. we put together a good meet, won the
races that we had to win. and held them off at the end."
With three wins in as many tries, the Minutemen
appear to be a force to be reckoned with at the upcoming
New England Championship.
Yarworth is confident that, although the water polo
Final Four is the same weekend and the injuries have
stockpiled, the swimming and diving team will contend
for the overall victory in the championship that takes
place at the University of Connecticut.
"We've had a few curveballs thrown at us but we can
hit the curves," said Yarworth,

3 Massachusetts volleyball team hosts the A-10 Championship Tournament in the Cuny
Women's swimming drowns Terriers
By Mike Cony
Collegian Staff
While this weekend the falling
snow might have had some students
excited to be outside, the real excite-
ment was happening inside, as the
women's swimming and diving team
drenched Boston University Saturday
afternoon.
The Minutewomen pulled off a
spectacular victory over the Terriers
in a duel meet at Boyden
Gymnasium, by the score of
161-159.
"This has been one of the more sat-
isfying wins in my 12 years here."
said a soaked head coach Bob
Newcomb. after being tossed into the
pool by his jubilant team.
With the victory the Minutewomen
remain undefeated on the year with a
record of 5-0 heading into the New
F.ngland Championships at the begin-
ning of December.
"This team is riding high."
Newcomb said. "Everything they're
doing right now is so positive."
A soggy BU team will head back to
Boston, with their mark of 1-1. and
different thoughts about future
encounters with UMass.
"They come in to swimming us.
and it's almost a joke to them." said
Newcomb. "Well, we have to swim
UMass. I guess we'll just get this over
with. We'll, its not a joke to them
anymore."
UMass held a 51 point advantage
early on after six events, but as
expected this meet came right down
to the final races.
Jessica Farley came away with a big
victory in the 200 yard individual
medley, one event before the last.
"That was a great swim for her."
said Newcomb. "That was fabulous.
She is developing into one of the best
swimmers in the program."
Farley also picked up first place in
the 200 yard freestyle and second in
the 100. the two events that UMass
dominated.
Speaking of domination, senior
Sarah Baker continues to be out-
standing in the 50 and 100 yard
freestyle events in which she took
first place in again.
However, as big as those victories
are. the biggest event was the last of
the day. where Baker anchored the
400 yard freestyle relay.
Going into that event UMass held
a 1 5 point advantage and needed a
finish of second or better to prevent a
tie of the meet.
Baker made up a slight difference
in the final two laps to overcome BU
and swim to the finish line first,
enabling her relay of Amy Mullen.
Kristin Schambach. and Barbara
Hickey to gain first place and ulti-
mately the victory over the Terriers.
"I just wanted our team to do
everything that they can just to beat
this team." said Baker. "I've had a
rivalry with BU. and that's just one
team that I wanted to beat this year,
and I'm so psyched we did it."
The team effort throughout the
year has been tremendous, and the
team is confident of a good showing
at the New England's in a couple of
weeks.
"The team is practicing great
together, and everybody is pushing
each other, and that's what definitely
helped," said Baker. "The way this
team is swimming right now. if every-
one stays healthy and focused, we're
going to do it. it's going to be great."
Wliat was also so rewarding about
this victory was that UMass did il
without four of their top swimmers.
Jessica Griffith and |odi Walters
were out with personal commitments,
both of whom had two victories and
two second place finishes respectively
in the meet before.
Pain Perog was out of the meet,
along with Karen Sonnwald (UMass
record holder in the 500. 1000. and
1650 yard freestyle events) who has
been out of action for the start of the
year as she recovers from a broken
foot. However Newcomb says they
will be looking to remove her cast
next week, and get her back going
again. Her probable return will be
sometime in January.
The effort that UMass put forth on
Saturday is an excellent indication of
how hard this team has been working
and the types of abilities on this
team.
"The way we're swimming races is
smart," said Newcomb. "We're
improving every week, getting better
and better at the little things, and

rescue education at the University of
Massachusetts.
It seemed to come from nowhere.
From out of a smoke-fllled room.
A deal. A fix.
But the chairman of the university
trustees and the trustee who headed
the search committee say the selec-
tion process was a deliberate and
sound one. although Bulger appears
to have been an inside favorite ever
sifKe he was nominated by "a num-
ber of people."
Bulger, who is likely to be named
president of the university this week,
was a leading candidate from the
very outset, said Daniel Taylor, the
trustee chairman.
"At each level of the process, it
was always possible for the candidate
or us to say. 'I don't think it's going
to work.' And that was true every
step of the way." Taylor said.
"It just happens that every time
people looked at it. it looked like a
better and better idea," said Taylor,
who was also a member of the search
committee.
Peter Lewenberg. the search com-
mittee chaimian. also said people felt
from the beginning that Bulger might
be a gcxxl candidate, but the outcome
wasn't a foregone conclusion.
"There's certainly a cynical view
that says it was a 'done deal' from the
very beginning. But I know the truth
of what we did and how we did it.
We made our selection based on the
merits of the people and their ability
to do the job we feel needs to be
done." he said.
The committee began its work in
late May. The committee seriously
considered about 70 applications.
Lewenberg said.
Bulger's name was submitted by a
number of other people, not himself.
Lewenberg said.
Bulger said publicly he was
"intrigued" by the job. but never
acknowledged that he was an active
candidate until the night he was
picked by the committee as the top
choice.
His spokesman. |im lulian. had no
comment on why Bulger kept his
cards so close to his chest.
But trustee and search committee
member Dr Michael Foley, who sup-
|K)rts Bulger, speculated that Bulger
wanted to avoid publicity, as he has
done throughout most of his career.
"I think he's a man of substance
and a man of great influence. And he
had the insight to realize that his
overt interest in the position could
perhaps have spooked the process in
some way." he said.
"1 think he didn't want to tip the
process for or against himself
because he's such a lightning rod." he
said.
Bulger, a Boston Democrat, has
presided over the state Senate for 1 7
years. Critics say Bulger has a dicta-
torial leadership style, but Bulger this
week styled himself as a consensus
builder.
His current salary is $£1,410 aiKi
he's looking at a big raise: the former
UMass president. Michael Hooker,
was paid $189,000
Bulger, who is derided regularly by
one Boston columnist as corrupt, has
been embroiled in several scandals
over his long career, but has emerged
legally unscathed.
And although vilified by powerful
attomey Alan Dershowitz as a racist,
he has managed to make important
connections beyond his power base
of conservative South Boston.
Republican Gov William F. Weld
attaclied him during the 1*190 cam-
paign as a symbol of what was wrong
with Massachusetts politics, but the
two later formed an amicable rela
tionship. which apparently has served
Bulger well.
The university trustees are all Weld
appointees, though some were origi-
nally appointed by previous gover-
nors.
Several trustees who returned a
reporter's phone calls this week
emphatically denied being pressured
or lobbied to back Bulger, who is
renowned for his far-reaching politi-
cal infiuence.
Weld set the tone, however, soon
after Hooker's departure. He
announced publicly that he felt
Bulger would be a good choice.
Taylor, the trustee chairman, who is
friends with Weld from working
together in a major Boston law firm,
said Weld also told him privately in
lune that he felt Bulger "would be a
very good president of the universi-
ty"

Congress proposes cuts in direct loan lending
By Amy H. Porodysz
Collegian S>aH
The good news about financial aid is that
Congress revised a bill the weekend before last
which will cut $4 •* billion That's good
because the original proposal was to cut $10.1
billion.
The bad news is that the bill proposed cutting
the direct loan program by tw<.> thirds.
The direct loan program allows students to bor-
row directly from the federal gosemment through
their campus financial aid offices. It is currently
used by 2 million college students at
more than 1,550 schools, according to
the U.S. Department of Education. The
University of Massachusetts is one of
those schools.
During the "government shutdown" the U.S.
Department of Education greeted callers with an
answering machine message explaining that the
department was "closed due to lack of appropria-
tions." Perhaps this is why Lc*o Komfeld, who was
answering messages, is concerned about budget
cuts, including the ones which affect the direct
loan program.
"Four hundred and fifty college presidents have
said what a great program it is," said Komfeld.
"And it saves the federal government billions of
dollars."
Currently. 40 sch<x>lx in Massachusetts are part
of or soon to be part of the direct lending program.
but only four schcK>ls — all of which are private
— will be able to participate if the proposed cuts
are passed, according to Chris Lindstrom of
MASSPIRG
If the bill passes, UMass would lose its direct
loan program.
The U.S. Department of Education wrote in
their press release that a return to the old system,
which involves shopping for a bank, would mean
more paperwork
"It will be very difficult jandj con
fusing," Komfeld said
However, Komfeld said the lobby-
ists he had referred to were banks and the guaran-
tee agencies, who do not make any profit from
direct loans.
Lindstrom wrote that "cuts to direct lending give
a virtual monopoly to the private sector, and stu-
dents cannot benefit from competition, which
results in a controlled market around loans with
fixed higher interest rates."
As of Nov. 2, the House had voted to kill
direct lending altogether in their budget reconcil-
iation bill. Meanwhile, the Senate imposed a 20
\cw.s Analysis
percent cap on direct lending in their bill, which
would mean that about half the students with
dirc*ci loans would have to return to the old wy-
tem, according to the U.S. Department of
Education.
Although bill proposed last weekend ii lets
harsh than these earlier proposals, it comes at the
same time as a proposal to cut "$8.7 million in Pcll
Grants to students in Massachusetts immediately
— not to mention more cuts to be instated over a
six-year span," Lindstrom wrote.
"Congress is pitting students against special
interests." U.S. Secretary of Education Richard W.
Wiley was quoted as saying in a recent presf
release. "Partisan politics and special interests are
losing out over common sense and the best inter-
ests of students, schools and taxpayers.
"Returning to the old loan program means wast-
ed time and hassle for students when they take out
their loans, but it al.so means preserving billions of
dollars in profits for all the middlemen that make
up the old system."
In the same press release. Lawrence Lindsey. a
Bush appointee to the Federal Reserve Board,
agreed.
"As long as it is necessary to provide a profit to
induce lenders to guarantee student loans, direct
lending will be cheaper." he said.
Irish vote *yes' on divorce referendum
By Shown Pogotchnik
Associated Press
DUBLIN — Defying the wishes of their church as
never before. Irish voters decided to legalize divorce,
but only by the narrowest of margins.
The first count Saturday was so close — 50.2 per-
cent in favor of amending the constitution to 49.8 per-
cent opposed — that Ireland's chief election official
ordered an immediate recount. The results of that
count showed a slightly higher "yes" vote: 50.5 per-
cent.
The margin was only 9.1 18 votes out of the more
than 1 .62 million cast in Friday's referendum, making
it the closest vote in Irish history. Tumout was put at
61 percent.
Ireland was the only country in the Western world
to constitutionally ban divorce, and lifting the prohibi-
tion marks the country's sharpest break with its
Roman Catholic traditions.
The amendment was to take effect immediately,
allowing divorces for couples who have been separated
for at least four of the previous five years and can
show "no reasonable prospect of a reconciliation."
The government has already approved a host of
related laws defining the rights of separated spouses,
children and property.
The ban denied an estimated 40.000 couples in bro-
ken marriages the right to remarry. Prime Minister
|ohn Bruton. who led the campaign for ending the pro-
hibition, said he was relieved by the outcome.
However, the government "must reflect on why
there was such a large 'no' vote." he said. "It wasn't all
because of negative campaigning."
He suggested a government commission should
develop "a positive agenda to support the family," but
he gave no details.
Appeals by Pope |ohn Paul II and Mother Teresa
spearheaded the campaign against the referendum in
Ireland, where 92 percent of the 3.5 million citizens
are baptized Catholics.
Friday's vote marks the most serious rollback in the
state's overtly Catholic laws. Voters in a 1992 referen-
dum decided to keep the ban on abortion but endorsed
the right of Irish women to have abortions overseas.
Lawmakers previously had loosened restrictions on
contraceptives.
"I feel shattered," said Eleanor McFadden, organizer
of a church-based anti-divorce group. Parishes for Life.
"I've been canvassing for weeks, and this vote today is
not like what we heard on the doorsteps of Dublin.
"Our group has been arguing the case for the com-
mon good and pointing out what goes wrong in
divorce societies like England and America."
The first count released Saturday showed the consti-
tutional amendment passing 818,1 12 to 810,592, a dif-
ference of only 7,520 votes.
The recount began immediately afterward, ending
with a total of 818,845 - 809,725. The initial count
had misidentified one set "yes" votes as "no"s from
suburban south Dublin, election officials said.
Turnout was higher in the key battleground of
Dublin — where the "yes" vote was strong — than in
rural Ireland, where traditionalists mostly voted "no."
However, all across the country the vote for legaliz-
ing divorce was stronger than in 1986. when the issue
was first put to voters.
Two out of three voters said "no" then.
Opponents of divorce had been 20 points behind in
opinion polls a month ago, but gained support with
church leaders' help and with posters that claimed that
"You Will Pay" through higher taxes to support broken
families.
The shift since 1986 can be attributed to several fac-
tors, but political analysts emphasized two: the rising
number of broken marriages, and the erosion of the
Catholic church's moral authority following a series of
sexual scandals,
"The influence of the church has waned substantial-
ly," said Roisin Shortall, a Labor Party lawmaker who
saw the "yes" vote in her Dublin Northwest district
shoot to nearly 60 percent, up I 5 points from 1986.
"We aren't going back to a confessional state where
people turned to their priests to tell them how to vote."
said Shortall. one of 20 women in the 166-member
Parliament. "People finally are saying they'll work out
their own sense of morality and make their own deci-
sions."
Jackson, Jr. vies for political seat
Namesake looks for Chicago's Reynolds* Congressional position
By Sharon Cohan
Associated Press
CHICAGO HEIGHTS. III. — The stocky, bearded
young man in a sleek gray suit leans over from his chair,
surrounded by preschoolers who giggle and hang on his
every animated word.
To the Head Start toddlers listening to him read a story,
lesse lack.son. jr. is just a visitor.
But to almost everyone else he meets, he is The Son, the
presumed heir to his father's activist legacy.
On Tuesday, the eldest son of former presidential can-
didate lesse lackson tests his own appeal to voters. He is
one of five Democrats vying for a ballot spot in a special
election to fill the 2nd Congressional District seat vacated
by Mel Reynolds, who was convicted of having sex with
an underage campaign worker.
Four Republicans are also campaigning for a chance to
run in the Dec. 12 general election, although winning the
Demixratic nomination is considered tantamount to vic-
tory.
In his first bid for public office, the 50-year-old Jackson
must make a delicate transition - shifting from years of
identification with his father's social agenda to try to
make his own mark, and from within the system he has
been taught to challenge.
No matter what he does, [esse Louis lackson, |r. learned
early on that he cannot hide from his name. Nor does he
want to.
"It's a name that's synonymous with public service,
with helping people, and I've always striven to live up to
that commitment," lackson says with the practiced
earnestness of a man who carries a Bible in his briefcase
and passed his 21st birthday in jail for protesting
apartheid in South Africa.
But the family name also "is a double-edged sword," he
says.
"You inherit your father's friends, your parents' friends,
and you inherit their detractors." he said.
lack.son. called lunior by friends, has traveled with his
father to Cuba and Syria, met popes and presidents and
broken bread with former Nicaraguan leader Daniel
Ortega. He can boast he needs no intrcxluction to Nelson
Mandela or many members of Congress.
"Unlike other candidates in this race. I'm not going to
Washington to get to know people." says |ack.son, a inem-
ber of the Democratic National Committee.
"He's been preparing for this all his life." says the elder
lackson. who was agitating for voting rights in Selma,
Ala., the day his son was bom. "It's a tender age. but he
has a tough mind."
Jackson's name recognition seems to be paying off: A
recent Chicago Tribune poll found he was the best-known
of all nine candidates for Reynolds' seat, topping even
Illinois Senate minority leader Emil Jones, a 22-year leg-
islative veteran.
He led the Democratic pack with 55 percent support —
but almost the same percentage of district voters had
reservations about his lack of elective experience.
His name 'may not get him to the finish line." says Paul
Green, a political science professor at suburban
Governor's State University, "but it gets him to the start-
ing gale "
Supporters say lackson is a dogged grassroots organizer
who thnves on details and computer wizardry, a style dis-
tinct frotn his father's chaotic, seat-of-the-pants approach.
He's very much into planning and organizing and
building institutions." says Frank Watkins. jack.son's cam-
paign manager and longtime aide to his father. "His dad
has always been more of a mobilizer."
lackson has promised to bring jobs to ravaged industrial
areas of the 2nd District, which is 68 percent black and
encompasses parts of Chicago's poverty-pocked South Side
as well as middle-class and affluent southern suburbs.
Critics call lackson a rookie — he and his wife. Sandra,
a lawyer, moved from Washington to the South Shore
neighborhood to establish residency only last year. And
they say he offers little more than snappy slogans, a much-
stamped passport and years spent working for dad as
national field director of the Rainbow Coalition.
lackson was recently put on the defensive by disclo-
sures that his salary was paid by the Hotel Employees and
Restaurant Employees International Union, which settled
federal racketeering charges this year by agreeing to rid
itself of mob influence. Jackson insists he was unaware of
the alleged criminal connections and says the Rainbow
Coalition worked legitimately with the union on organiz-
ing projects.

Several politicians discuss plans
to challenge the 2 -party system
WASHINGTON (AP) — Seven
prominent politicians, including New
jersey Sen. Bill Bradley and former
Massachusetts Sen. Paul Tsongas
have been secretly planning an inde
pendent presidential campaign,
according to a published report.
The seven, five Democrats and two
indepetKlents. have discussed in tele-
phone conference calls the need for a
new voice to challenge the two-party
system, according to Time magazine.
A spokesman for Bradley con-
firmed Sunday that the seven have
been discu.ssing issues — but not an
independent presidential candidacy.
"I don't think the discussions have
focused on that, but I don't know
that for a fact." said Bernie Toon.
Bradley's chief of staff.
In editions going on sale Monday.
Time identified the seven as
Democrats Bradley: former Colorado
Sen. Gary Hart; former Colorado
Gov. Dick Lamm and former Minn.
Rep. Tim Penny, as well as indepen-
dents former Connecticut Gov.
Lowell Weicker and Maine Gov.
Angus King.
Toon confirmed the names, saying
Bradley "has been participating with
that group, discussing issues facing
the country generally."
Dennis Bailey, a spokesman for
King, also confirmed the governor
had participated with the group in
"just general discussions about prob-
lem-solving and the direction of the
country." but not a presidential race.
"I can't say anything about it. I just
can't." said Lamm, when asked for
comment.
None of the others mentioned in
the Time story were immediately
available for comment.
Several members of the group have
expressed interest either in running
for president or backing an indepen-
dent candidacy, but it would be
unusual for so many political figures
with diverse ideological backgrounds
to discuss it together.
Both Hart and Tsongas unsucces-s-
fully sought the Democratic presiden-
tial nomination. Weicker was origi-
nally a Republican.
Time said the group's next meet-
